Taoist Aunt Ma didn't expect Xie Wu to make such a move. She pulled the whisk hard, but found that the whisk was still motionless and was being held by Xie Wu in her hand. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
All around, eyes were blazing, and whispers were gradually rising.
Taoist Aunt Ma looked a little worried. She tried hard to pull the fly whisk back, but Xie Wu suddenly let go of her hand.
‘Dong dong dong’ Taoist Aunt Ma staggered back a few steps, but finally couldn’t stop the momentum and landed on the ground.
"Pfft." A little maid in the crowd couldn't help laughing.
Soon, more sneers sounded.
Taoist Aunt Ma was ashamed and angry. She hurriedly got up from the ground, turned around and shouted loudly to the old lady, "Old madam, this evil beast really has some virtues. If we don't get rid of it as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be someone in the house sooner or later."
Disaster is coming!"
"Ah Wu." Mrs. Chen looked at Xie Wu with some worry.
She knew that the old lady believed in the theory of gods and ghosts, otherwise she would not have set up a small Buddhist temple in the backyard. But now that Taoist Aunt Ma said it was so serious and that it would harm the Hou Mansion, she was really afraid that the old lady would believe it.
That Taoist nun's words would be detrimental to Ah Wu...
The old lady looked at Aunt Ma attentively. Although she looked extremely solemn and dignified, she still caught a glimpse of the anger and panic flashing in her eyes. On the other hand, Xie Wu was still angry even after being criticized like this by Aunt Ma.
He was calm and relaxed, without any fear.
If he was really possessed by evil spirits, how could he dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Taoist nun?
"Ah Wu, what did you say?" The old lady looked at Xie Wu, her expression calmed down.
Xie Wu pursed her lips and smiled. She walked up to the old lady and gave her a polite salute. Then she raised her head and looked directly into the old lady's eyes and said, "Grandma, there is something I want you to help me take a look at."
The old lady looked at Xie Wu intently, and finally nodded.
Although she strongly believes in ghosts and gods, she has lived for most of her life and has seen a lot of living people using ghosts and gods to cause trouble!
What happened today, she wanted to see if Xie Wu was possessed by an evil spirit, or someone wanted her to think that Xie Wu was possessed by an evil spirit!
Xie Wu curved her lips and smiled, then stepped aside. Soon, Suiyu came over holding a plain white coat and skirt. The coat was dirty and had traces of being burned on it.
The old lady frowned and looked at Xie Wu in confusion.
Xie Wu smiled lightly and said, "After my courtyard became haunted, a maid next to me discovered it. You see, there are blood stains on it." Xianyue turned over her coat and skirt, and sure enough, some dried blood stains were revealed.
.
The old lady's face immediately became gloomy!
Okay! These people know that she is taboo against gods and ghosts, but they just can't help but want to use gods and ghosts to cause trouble!
"Are you here?" The old lady glanced at Xie Wu with a gloomy expression.
The coat and skirt were slightly burned by the fire. Thinking about it, Xie Wu must have caught the person.
Xie Wu looked at the old lady and shook her head gently.
The old lady's eyes were heavy, and she looked at Xie Wu with a little more scrutiny.
A blood-stained dress alone cannot clear her from suspicion...
Does anyone know whose skirt actually belongs to it?
As if she had read through the old lady's thoughts, Xie Wu smiled softly, "Although a dress can't prove anything, but..." After saying this, Xie Wu paused slightly and glanced sideways at Sui Yu.
Broiyu understood, and immediately rummaged through the tray again, and then revealed a thin human leather mask.
"Old Madam, this is..." Looking at the man with the leather mask, Aunt Zhu, who had been supporting the Old Madam, couldn't help but frown.
Suiyu seemed not to hear anything. She handed the tray in Xianyue's hand, and then picked up the person. The leather mask turned her face, and she didn't see her move. But when she turned her face again,
Everyone gasped in shock, and even the old lady took two steps back in shock.
That is clearly Xie Wu’s face!
But Xie Wu was obviously standing next to her!
"Okay, take it off." Xie Wu told Suiyu calmly.
Suiyu nodded, and then took off the leather mask on his face in front of the old lady.
The old lady finally lost her composure, and the whispers below became louder and louder.
Could it be that the old lady said that the female ghost has a face like that of a big girl? It turns out she is wearing such a mask!
"Where did you find these?" The old lady finally remembered that Xie Wu never mentioned where she found these things from beginning to end.
Xie Wu did not answer the old lady's words. Instead, she looked up at the old lady with a smile and asked, "Grandma, are you the second aunt?"
As soon as these words came out, the old lady's face darkened again and again. She looked at Xie Wu with extremely complicated eyes. She closed her eyes. After a long time, she pursed her lips and said in a deep voice, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Bar……"
If someone really used the story of gods and ghosts to set up Xie Wu, then Yang is indeed the most suspicious.
Moreover... there was so much noise about today's events, but Yang didn't show up yet, so his intention to avoid suspicion was too deliberate.
Seeing what the old lady said, Aunt Zhu hurriedly gave Pearl a wink. Pearl understood and hurriedly sent out all the mothers and maids who were looking around. For a while, only the old lady, Mrs. Chen and Xie were left in the courtyard.
Wu and their confidant maids were beside them, as well as Taoist Aunt Ma, who had not spoken for a long time.
"This thing was found in the rockery in the back garden. When the little maid found someone, she ran away immediately. The people I sent found that she ran into Tinglan Courtyard." Xie Wu looked at the old lady with a calm face and said.
"So, you didn't catch anyone." The old lady let go of Grandma Zhu's hand, and said calmly while looking into Xie Wu's eyes while flicking the beads in her hand.
Xie Wu smiled lightly, looked at the old lady calmly and said, "I'm not being arrested."
The old lady's hand holding the prayer beads paused, and she looked at Xie Wu with heavy eyes.
It’s not that he couldn’t be caught, it’s that no one caught him.
"It concerns the face of the Hou Mansion. I don't want to make this matter a big deal." Xie Wu looked at the old lady and continued with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Taoist Aunt Ma came to the door and told her that she was evil and a monster.
The old lady's face darkened again and again, but she still did not speak.
"If grandma still wants evidence, why not ask my father to ask someone to go to Jinyiwei to inquire and check. It is impossible to buy such a person with such exquisite leather mask. I heard that Jinyiwei has some skilled craftsmen..." Xie Wu looked at it
The old lady continued.
"Nonsense!" the old lady suddenly cut off Xie Wu's words.
Only then did she remember that if this matter was not handled well and brought to Xie Zheng's face, there would be another uproar in the Hou Mansion.
However, Xie Wu's words finally woke her up.
This man's leather mask is so exquisite that no ordinary craftsman can make it, and Jinyiwei... Yang's younger brother is the deputy commander of Jinyiwei!
This Yang!
The old lady is really angry and hates Mr. Yang now! She didn't care about what happened last time, but this time she actually came up with such a vicious plan to frame her niece. She knows that she is most taboo about gods and ghosts!
Although she hated the Yang family very much at the moment, this matter was ultimately related to the reputation of the Hou Mansion, so no matter how angry or resentful she was, she had to speak out to appease Xie Wu.
"Sister Wu, grandma knows that you are a sensible child. You have indeed been wronged in this matter..."
"Old Madam." Seeing that things were getting more and more out of control, Taoist Aunt Ma couldn't sit still.
If the old lady really believes that the eldest girl has been wronged, then what she just said...
