Chapter 315
314
The Zhao family was panicked, and many servants wanted to quit their jobs.
But Mrs. Zhao’s case was not revealed, and no one could leave.
Mr. Zhao even invited monks and Taoists to come to his house to practice to drive away evil spirits.
I even found a lot of people to go to the riverside to find Huang Xiangu’s trace, but found nothing.
Su Haoyi was really bored at the Zhao family, so he told Sima Lantai that he might as well go out for a walk. Master Zhao asked Ma Liansheng, who was working in his house to lead the two of them and count them as a guide.
Baishan Town is not big and there are no particularly good places for scenery.
Su Haoyi and Sima Lantai were sailing on the river for a while, and then they wanted to go and see Grandma Ma.
Ma Liansheng hadn't gone home for several days, and he was naturally happy to see Su Haoyi say this.
Several people came to Ma Grandma's house. Ma Liansheng stretched out his hand and pushed the door, but did not open it. It turned out that the door was stuck inside, so he patted the door and called out a few times.
No one agreed, and Ma Liansheng raised his voice a little.
It took a long time before Grandma Ma came out of the house.
"Be gentler! You've been slapped in a broken door." Grandma Ma said as she came to open the door. When she saw Su Haoyi and the others, she immediately laughed and said, "It turns out that the two young men are here too."
Su Haoyi asked her, "My mother-in-law is doing well these days?"
"Thank you, my son, for thinking about it, it's all good." Grandma Ma said as she gave Su Haoyi and the others into the yard.
"How is my aunt's illness? Thanks to the two young masters." Grandma Ma asked: "I heard from outsiders that it was dangerous at that time!"
"It's much better, I can speak." Su said kindly: "That child is much better than when he was just born."
My aunt's family originally went to the Zhao family to congratulate her, and probably wanted to benefit from it, but unexpectedly something happened to the Zhao family. They were so scared that they didn't dare to come to the door.
Su Haoyi heard from the servants of the Zhao family that this little aunt was adopted since she was a child and not from the Xin family.
As for who she is, no one knows.
"Thank God!" said Grandma Ma: "I thought I would never live anyway."
"Grandma Ma, they all said Huang Xian Gu, have you ever seen Huang Xian Gu?" Su asked kindly.
Grandma Ma suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and said for a long time: "I have never seen it, it's all caused by a blow."
"Mom, haven't Huang Xian Gu been to our house?" Ma Liansheng said: "It was when I was a child."
"I think you're confused." Grandma Ma glared at him: "How old were you at that time? What do you recognize Huang Xian Gu and Black Fairy."
Su Hao's opinion was that Grandma Ma was unwilling to say anything, so she stopped asking questions. She looked at the yard and said, "Mother-in-law, your family lives in such a remote place, why don't you keep a dog? Brother Ma is often not at home, so it's good to have a dog guarding the yard!"
"I don't like that thing barking. If there is a little noise, I can't stop. The noisy people can't sleep. What are I afraid of?" Grandma Ma smiled and said, "Save you at home for dinner! It's just not as good as the food in the Zhao family."
"Mom, don't have to do it, we'll go back later." Ma Liansheng said: "I see that the water in the tank is almost gone, so I'll pick it up for you."
Su Haoyi said to Sima Lantai again: "The two young men are young, and you will be done in a short time."
"You go and do your business, Brother Ma." Su said with a kind smile: "I'll walk around the yard."
Su Haoyi stood in the yard with a casual look around.
In addition to two thatched houses, Grandma Ma's house also has a firewood shed. The door is closed, and it is dark inside, so it is hard to see what it is.
"This place is so dirty, please stay away from it." Grandma Ma stopped Su Haoyi and refused to let her go to the firewood shed.
Su smiled kindly, turned around, and went to Ma Grandma's kitchen again.
When I returned to Zhao's mansion, it's time to have supper.
During dinner, Su Haoyi had no appetite and only ate half a bowl of rice.
"Why is the appetite so bad?" Sima Lantai asked her: "Where is it uncomfortable?"
"No, no." Su shook his head kindly: "Senior brother, I just think something is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Sima Lantai asked her, and naturally took the remaining half bowl of rice from Su Haoyi to eat.
"Do you think something is wrong with Grandma Ma today?" Su asked him kindly.
"I didn't pay much attention." Sima Lantai said.
"I always think that Grandma Ma has something to do with that Huang Xian Gu." Su said his idea with kindness: "Of course, it may be that I am too concerned."
"What did you find in her house?" Sima Lantai asked.
"I suspect there are people hidden in her house," Su said kindly: "not only does the water in her house almost disappear, but the rice is also much less. Ma Liansheng is not at home, and Grandma Ma can't eat that much rice alone."
"Is it possible that someone has borrowed it?" Sima Lantai said.
"Of course, this possibility is not ruled out. It's just that Grandma Ma doesn't allow me to get close to her firewood shed, and when I ask Huang Xiangu, he feels uncomfortable," Su analyzed with kindness: "There are only one family in that place, but she doesn't even have a dog. It's also possible that she hates dog barking, is it possible that someone often comes to her house at night?"
"Do you believe there are monsters in this world?" Sima Lantai asked her.
"It should...no?" Su Haoyi was not very sure: "Is Mrs. Zhao's death really done by that Huang Xiangu?"
"The whole picture is unknown, so I will not comment." Sima Lantai only said these eight words.
Although Su Haoyi suspected that Huang Xiangu was hidden at home by Grandma Ma, she did not tell anyone in the Zhao family because she was not sure whether it was the murderer, once it was told, it might involve innocent people.
That night, Aunt Xia suddenly started to make a fuss and said that she saw Huang Xiangu. She was sleeping soundly at that time and felt that her neck was being pinched.
When I opened my eyes, I saw something with disheveled hair and fish scales on my body were about to strangle me to death.
She shouted for help, struggled to resist, and the thing jumped out of the window and ran away.
Originally, people were a little suspicious of Aunt Xia, after all, the eldest lady slapped her in the face that day. She might hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.
But Aunt Xia twisted her waist at night that day and asked the girls and women to find plaster for her. After a long night of hard work, she didn't even leave her own yard.
Moreover, Aunt Xia has no capable confidant in this family. If she really wants to do this, she can't do it alone, and the maid and the mother around her don't have the courage.
The official sent a check. The window in Aunt Xia's house was indeed opened, and a thick porcelain flower pot was overturned under the windowsill.
I also asked about the neighbors of the Zhao family, but I heard a few dog barking in the middle of the night in the backyard. When I got up to see, I didn’t see anyone outside.
Aunt Xia was frightened and shivered around the quilt, saying, "It must be the wife Huang Xian Gu killed me. Now I'm here to kill me again."
