Chapter 711 Who Scared Whom!
When we entered the mourning hall again, it was time to offer incense. The wife had a distinguished status and was among the first to enter. The mourning hall was not big, so if everyone was squeezed in, it would seem a bit smaller.
Wang Shengxue led the dowager in, while the Duke's five sisters were waiting outside.
The madam went in and only asked three sticks of incense to be poured on her before she walked out with a cold face. She had to come today to give the prince a face. No matter how many things she had to do, she was not willing to do it.
"Mrs. Madam, please go and sit in the wing first. The ladies are quick to burn incense!" Ning Xueqing greeted her with a smile.
The madam glanced at her, followed her to the side room without responding.
"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, please!" Wang Shengxue smiled and said to Shao Yanru and Shao Jie'er.
Shao Yanru's face straightened and she walked in. Shao Jie'er glanced at Wang Shengxue and followed behind. Wang Shengxue followed in unconcernedly.
When they got inside, the woman who was guarding them gave each of them three sticks of incense. After the two of them held it, they bent slightly towards the coffin and were about to insert the incense burner in it.
The strange sound of "thump, thump, thump" seemed to come from underground, causing the two of them to raise their heads in shock. When they heard that the sound came from the coffin, Shao Jie'er's feet softened and she almost fell down. Fortunately, the maid beside her supported her.
Shao Yanru took a step back. Although her face was as white as snow, she was much calmer than Shao Jie'er. She suddenly turned her eyes to Wang Shengxue and asked sharply: "What is Mr. Wang's intention?"
"Maybe it's because my sister died unjustly and it's hard to be buried. People who hear about the unjust death will turn into ghosts and seek out the person who killed her to beg for their lives!" Wang Shengxue sighed.
Shao Yanru sneered: "What Mr. Wang said seems to be true. My cousin died of illness on her own. Our family has been extremely kind to her. Why did she end up here? It seems like there is something fishy here!"
"Miss, I really don't know about this. My sister was in your house at that time. I raised her for three years, but she died like this for no apparent reason. As an elder brother, I have no ability or choice. Find out for her." Wang Shengxue said extremely innocently.
Of course he has received the benefits now, otherwise he would not have his current new home, but after receiving the benefits, he did not intend to be so good, at least he can get more benefits.
It's just that Duke Xingguo won't agree to it all of a sudden. It's always good to leave some beginnings and ends, especially for Miss Shao. She also needs to let her know that he is here to manipulate her.
"Young Master Wang, you mean that your cousin died unjustly? In that case, why don't you go to the Yamen to complain? Even Duke Xingguo's Mansion can't take human life lightly!" Shao Yanru's face was ugly, and she glared at Wang Sheng Xuedao angrily.
Shao Jie'er looked at her and then at Wang Shengxue. She also found out what happened that day later. She only heard that Wang Yishu was dead, and that Mrs. Tai, Shao Yanru, and even Shao Wanru went to see him more. As for the rest, she didn't know.
She also knew a little about Wang Yishu at the earliest, but later Wang Yishu's health became worse and worse, and he could only lie in bed and couldn't get up. But it was an unexpected thing. Who would have thought that such a good person would be like this? Once it fell, it actually fell like this.
Wang Yishu's death was not necessarily a surprise to her. Wang Yishu, who had been lying in bed for three years, could not get better even if he looked like this. Death at this time would not be a big deal.
But now it seems that there might be another mystery behind it.
After thinking about this, her legs were no longer weak, but she still held the hand of the maid next to her. She leaned her head slightly sideways on the maid's body, and closed her eyes slightly, looking frightened. In fact, I have been listening to the conversation between Shao Yanru and Wang Shengxue.
"If there is evidence, I naturally want the government to help investigate. Even if it is not the fault of Duke Xingguo, I still have to give my sister an explanation." Wang Shengxue's temper seemed to be good, and he still said with a smile.
"No evidence?" Shao Yanru's eyes turned slightly.
"Of course there is no evidence. If there is, it is most appropriate to take it and send it to the government. Only the government can keep such strong evidence. If you put it in my hands, I don't know when it will be gone. By then, not only will it be I can’t avenge my sister, and I might even...not even be able to protect myself.”
Wang Shengxueruo pointed out the way.
Shao Yanru lowered his eyes, blinked slowly, then raised his head, and his eyes fell on Wang Shengxue's face.
Wang Shengxue bowed deeply to Shao Yanru: "I hope the eldest lady will support you more in the future."
Shao Yanru suddenly showed her face and smiled. The color was as beautiful as spring flowers, which made the whole pale mourning hall a little more lively. It was beautiful and attractive. She bowed sideways to Wang Shengxue: "Cousin, you're welcome! Why should my family talk about two families? talk!"
"Yes, it was originally a member of my family, so I'm not polite. This time, my sister's matter happened thanks to the Xingguo Duke's office, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a decent funeral. My cousin and my sister have always been friendly in the past, so something must have happened. I don’t have enough energy, but I don’t have a good job now. If my cousin can take care of my sister..."
Wang Shengxue immediately turned into a handsome young man. He bowed politely to Shao Yanru and turned to the side, opening up the distance between the two people who had just unconsciously approached.
"Don't worry, cousin, I know! You should explain it to your father when you get back!" Shao Yanru's attitude was also very good, as if the stern person just now was not her.
The two people called them cousin cousin politely, which made Shao Jie'er next to them confused, and then followed Shao Yanru in even more confused.
The people who entered the mourning hall for the second time were Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing. They entered quickly and came out quickly.
Shao Wanru was the last one to go in. The others were all in pairs, but she was the only one left, and she was the last one to go in.
Wang Shengxue also smiled and welcomed her in. When he put the incense in his hand into the incense burner, a strange sound suddenly came from behind the coffin.
Shao Wanru glanced at Wang Shengxue extremely calmly, inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner, and the ashes on the three incense sticks stood firmly on top of the incense.
Blinking her long eyelashes, Shao Wanrutai raised her watery eyes. Her appearance was exquisite and almost perfect, her skin was like cream, and her appearance was as beautiful as a city. Shao Yanru's beauty was famous in the capital, but standing next to her, not only was it difficult for people to Seeing Shao Yanru's beauty, people may even ignore her beauty.
She raised her eyes, her smile was gentle, but it was inexplicably chilling. There was a strange depth in her eyes, which made her smile look cold.
"Mr. Wang, Miss Wang is calling you!" She smiled.
Wang Shengxue's body was shaken, and he woke up from her beautiful appearance. He was about to speak, but he heard the maid who was following Shao Wanru, looking sideways at the coffin over there with interest: "Miss, Miss Wang must be She feels that her death is unjust, even if her own relatives want to harm her, even if it is the Jiuyou Underworld, she will get up!"
"Nine Nether Underworld?" Shao Wanru smiled slightly, as if he was talking to Wang Sheng's theory, but also seemed to be talking to himself, "The Nine Nether Underworld is a sea of blood hell, and all those who crawl out of it are evil ghosts. Even this all-powerful god can’t stop her from taking revenge!”
Her voice was not high, almost soft, but it had an inexplicable air of sinisterness.
Wang Shengxue shuddered unconsciously and his face changed slightly. He had never believed in such theories about ghosts and gods, which was why he had all kinds of calculations in the mourning hall today. But at this time, he was forced into a cold war and immediately felt that the whole There seemed to be a strange atmosphere hanging over the mourning hall.
"Fifth Miss, please!" He raised his hand and said hurriedly, not daring to look any further.
Ning Xueqing is right, this fifth lady is not to be trifled with!
"Thank you, Mr. Wang!" Shao Wanru smiled slightly, held Yu Jie's hand and walked out, but when she reached the door of the mourning hall, she stopped. She happened to be standing behind a flamboyant white curtain, flamboyantly The white color almost covered her, revealing only a pair of deep, almost bottomless beautiful eyes.
I don't know if it's because the white curtains match her pure black eyes so well, or if it's because the atmosphere in this mourning hall is just too weird.
"My lord, the coffin contains my sister's spirit. Speaking of which, both you and your sister have harmed me. If my sister has a spirit, will she come to repay me? In fact, I have been waiting for the person or ghost who harmed me. , come and repay the debt they owe me!"
Her voice was very gentle, almost gentle, but reflected in that atmosphere, it made people's hearts tingle inexplicably. When Wang Shengxue sat down, he didn't know that he would be so timid. He stepped back and looked in front of him in horror. That beautiful face half hidden behind the white curtain.
My heart was horrified, and I wanted to lift my hand tremblingly, but found that it was almost as heavy as a mountain, and I couldn't lift it at once. It seemed as if it was held down by something, and it was full of ghostly energy.
"Miss Wang, it's useless for you to hold your brother down...what you owe will always be paid back." Shao Wanru looked at a place beside him, suddenly smiled, and then turned around and left with the maid. .
Wang Shengxue's hands trembled, his mouth trembled, and his head turned back stiffly. The look on his face looked like he was crying but not crying, or smiling but not smiling.
Finally, he turned his head and landed on the coffin behind him. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that his sister was not there. Then his eyes suddenly fell on the incense sticks, and his expression changed drastically. He remembered that just now Those few sticks of incense were all burning, but they all died out after a while.
Not only can't I move my hands, but I can't move my legs either.
"Sister, it's really not that I'm cruel. I'm incompetent. I can't save you even if I want to. If you want to find someone to take revenge, go to Mrs. Xingguo. She is the one who harmed you, as well as the boss of Xingguo's mansion. Miss, it’s them...it’s them who have taken advantage of you and want to kill you again. Without telling you, they will also harm you and frame Miss Shao Wu again...Sister, you go to them!"
These words came out of Wang Shengxue's mouth unconsciously, almost in a low voice, almost to himself.
After I finished speaking, I felt my body relaxed. I quickly bowed to the coffin several times, lit a few sticks of incense with trembling hands, inserted them respectfully into the incense burner, and kept mumbling something in my mouth, with a very loud voice. Very low and fast, only he can hear it clearly!
"Master, it's not good, please come out quickly!"
