C321

Above the pavilion, he could see from afar that Manager Lu was shouting at the top of his lungs while waving his hands in an attempt to stop the incoming crowd.

Unfortunately, everything was in vain.

Along with the servants of the Yang Mansion and the servants from other families who came to pay their respects, all of them stood on their tiptoes, rubbing their shoulders as they pushed forward.

The image of the blood coffin.

Even with Manager Zhou and a bunch of bodyguards, it took a long time for Jiayi and I to break through the encirclement and enter the pavilion.

His mother's coffin was placed on a bamboo mat in the middle of the room. Because the coffin was very large, even if it was placed directly on the ground, it would still reach up to his waist. Surrounded by a group of people, one could only see an exquisite carving on the side. A little monkey was holding a peach, squatting on the eaves of the coffin with its head down and its hands folded.

Although there were many people in the pavilion, it was surprisingly quiet.

Everyone held their breath as they stared at the coffin that was dripping with blood. There were also timid women and children among them. Their faces were pale as they hid behind the man beside them. They retreated, afraid that a monster would jump out from the coffin.

The small hand in mine was also trembling slightly, and a layer of sticky sweat appeared on it.

I squatted down and hugged Jiayi. I looked up at him and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Jiayi pursed his lips. He obviously looked scared, but he still shook his head.

I smiled and patted him on the back. I took him in my arms and whispered to him, "Sister knows that ever since you saw it in the mourning hall that night, you've had nightmares. But you were a man, so you never told your sister. "

When Jiayi saw that I had exposed his background, he could not help but lower his head shyly and remained silent.

I caressed his head with a smile and said, "Elder sister has often told you that there are no ghosts or gods in this world, and she has never allowed anyone beside her to tell you these stories. But everyone around you, from Grandmother to your wet nurse, said that there are gods and ghosts in this world, so you often have doubts, right?"

Seeing his uncomfortable expression, I smiled and patted his shoulder. I stood up and said, "Elder sister will now show you what kind of person is the vengeful spirit that you have seen. What exactly is it?"

Even though I said this, I was still a child after all. I couldn't help but feel fear, so I hid half my body behind me and cowered behind me as I walked forward.

Far away, Jiang Ming shaved his face and laughed at his cowardice as I glared at him.

Jiayi also saw Jiang Ming's actions. He took a small step forward and puffed out his chest.

But the hands I held began to tremble.

In front of the coffin was a lamp holder with a plain white candle in it. Seeing that I was bringing along my family, Lan Ling immediately smiled at me and quickly walked over.

I nodded to myself, wanting to put my family in her hands.

When I saw the blood coffin again, even though it was in broad daylight and there were so many people around, I still felt anxious. Seeing that I was about to leave him, I couldn't help but panic.

Lan Lingyun was able to persuade her, but she wasn't willing to budge on her family's justice. Helpless, I could only bring him along by my side.

"Uncle!" I pulled on Jia Yi and crisply called for Second Master Lu.

Second Master Lu's face was filled with fear as he stared at the coffin. If it wasn't for Lady Wang who stood behind him, he would have jumped out of the pavilion first. Now that I had called him, he was as frightened as a cat whose tail has been stepped on.

Lan, who was standing next to me, covered her mouth with her handkerchief and snickered.

Amidst the silence, the laughter was especially clear.

Second Master Lu couldn't help but glare at Lan Ling and me with a flushed face.

I turned around and gently scolded, "Calm down!" Don't scare our good uncle! That old man kept saying that his sister died in injustice, and he's trying to get an explanation for his mother! "

Upon hearing my clear sarcasm, the members of the Lu family couldn't help but frown.

The person who wanted to help the dead was actually scared out of his wits?

"You … "You …" Second Master Lu glared at me. After holding back for a long time, he still couldn't think of a suitable words to say.

Mrs. Wang looked at her husband with a grumbling expression.

"Aiyo!" I smiled as I looked at the family's justice. "Look at our second uncle. He is obviously sharp mouthed. How did he learn to be as cautious as third uncle when we were in front of mother?"

Although the family did not laugh, the servants who crowded outside the pavilion could not help but whisper to each other.

I took another step forward and said smilingly, "Uncle, look at your face. It's covered with sweat. Wipe it quickly!" I took out a snow-white handkerchief from my sleeve and respectfully offered it in front of Second Master Lu. Seeing that he did not accept it, I sighed and said: "Uncle does not want this meeting. I will wait for you to open the coffin and use it again!"

Hearing my words, Second Master Lu became annoyed. He flung Second Young Madam behind him and said angrily, "What? You actually want me to open the coffin myself?"

I feigned ignorance. Staring at the handkerchief in my hand, I asked, "Uncle, what do you think?"

Second Master Lu was choked by my question and was silent for a long time. Finally, he said in an evil tone: "With so many people, do you still need me to do it myself? "Then what did you buy them for?"

I hastily sighed and shook my head. "Uncle's teachings are correct!" Then, with an awkward expression, he continued: "It's just that although there are a lot of servants here, they are all servants of our Yang family and not of the Lu family. Since Uncle insisted that Mother died of grievance, and also saw the strange scene of the blood coffin today, it must be Mother lying in the coffin. He had something he wanted to say to Uncle personally, what if our Yang family members get careless and anger Mother? Furthermore, until our mother's death was cleared up, not a single one of our Lu family members is innocent. How could we dare to cross over the ship and interfere in Uncle's business! "

Second Master Lu was startled and angered by my words. He was both angry and fearful. His face turned green and white, white and red, like a paint shop.

"Uncle, please!"

Smiling, I took a step forward, and when I saw that he was near the coffin, I held him behind me.

Second Master Lu was forced back again and again, forcing Lady Wang to step out from behind him. With a sincere expression, she reached out her hand to support my arm.

I calmly took a step back and coldly stared at the two outstretched hands of Lady Wang.

Perhaps my eyes are too cold and it stings my skin. Wang Shi smiled in embarrassment and retracted her hand. She gently advised: "Yue-er, you are mistaken, actually..."

"Aunty, no need to say anymore!" I raised my eyebrows and said smilingly, "Is Uncle going to open or not today?"

Although I was a full head shorter than Second Master Lu, he was trapped in a corner and had to curl up behind a pillar. He hid behind his wife like a rag bag nailed to the wall.

"I'll open it!"

Suddenly, such a loud voice came from behind me, giving me a fright. Turning my head to look, I saw that Third Master Lu was standing behind me with a face full of shame and anger. He said while rolling up his sleeves, "Second Brother … You won't open it, I … If I open it, I won't … He didn't believe it … Elder sister, she … "It will harm us!"

I couldn't help sighing at the back of Lu San Ye.

How could he be a fool!

Did he really think that his second brother and second sister-in-law's hands were clean and that their mother's blood hadn't stained them at all?

It was too late to stop them. I watched helplessly as Third Master Lu pushed open the heavy coffin lid with all his might. After mumbling for a long time, I finally opened my eyes and looked into the coffin.

He froze on the spot and abruptly let go. The heavy coffin lid tilted to the side and knocked on the ground with a bang.

Knocking on the hearts of the onlookers.

Second Master Lu's face was full of fear. His wife pinched him a few times before he staggered towards the coffin.

He only took a glance into the coffin, and just like Lu San Ye, the wooden figure froze on the spot.

Inside the bright red coffin lay a "beauty".

The hair on the head was thick and jet-black, forming a godly bun. On the crown of pure gold flowers, brilliant, emerald forehead, sparkling jade green, tortoiseshell hair, warm and fresh, pearl earring, large and white. Inside the silk, it was covered with clouds and pearls. Under her feet were a pair of jade soles and a pair of heavy clothes.

Only, the body of a beauty was missing.

Second Master Lu reached out his hand towards the coffin in a daze, causing everyone to jump in fright. His father hurriedly walked forward, wanting to stop him. He could not harm the corpse.

He saw a jade bracelet drop out from his arm.

At first, I didn't dare to approach them, but as I saw a few men surrounding them, my courage gradually increased. I couldn't help but be curious as to what actually scared them to such an extent.

I took the opportunity to lead him to the coffin so that he could see clearly.

"Did you see that?" I pointed at the coffin and smiled at him. "This is the coffin that you saw a few days ago. It was said that blood came out of the coffin because of the spirit of the wrongdoer."

Jia Yi leaned his hands on the coffin and muttered, "There's nothing at all!"

I smiled and patted his head. "That's right! There's nothing at all!" These ghosts and gods, these were all tricks to trick the eye. As long as one was not deluded by their appearance, one could see the true intentions of the person behind them.

After saying that, the three men's faces reddened. However, since I was just teaching my child and couldn't even compare to me, they could only look at me with disgust.

I couldn't help but smile as I pointed to the family's righteous hand. "Look, what's on your hand?"

Jiayi smelled the dark red mucus on his hands and looked up at me in surprise. "Isn't this cinnabar?!"

I reached out and twisted a round drop on the tip of my finger. It really did look like a drop of blood.

"You damn girl!" Separated by the coffin, Second Master Lu was furious. The veins on both sides of his forehead were popping out as he waved his fist at me and roared: "How dare you mess with us! "Where did you get Lady Qing?"

I snickered to myself. That was overestimating myself!

I pretended to be scared as I pressed the handkerchief to my face and cried, "Uncle, what are you saying?" "How would I dare to be a man? You were the one who forced me to open the coffin, and everyone here can testify that I did my best to stop you!"

Unfortunately, the more I tried to stop him, the more he felt guilty, which was why he ended up stepping into this pit!

Everyone present could not help but whisper to each other, occasionally letting out a few words.

"That's right! Let him climb on top of us with such arrogance! "

"Exactly, a funeral as big as ours is still the first part of White City! This is still not enough, what else can we do? "

"Hey!" "Say, since this uncle is scared to such an extent, how can it be possible that …"

Words floated into the Lu brother's ears one after another. Lu San was so ashamed that he found a pillar to hide himself. Second Master Lu glared at me angrily. If it weren't for Lady Wang blocking his way, he would have started the fight.

"Speak!" You little devil! Where did you hide Qing Niang? "

Second Master Lu's eyes were bloodshot. He did not care about etiquette, as if he was standing up for his mother, but was trying to suppress me.

I faintly smiled and looked towards my father.

Now, I'll give him one more chance to choose.

Having chosen the wrong piece once, I believe he will re-evaluate the weight of my piece.

His father had half closed his eyes, but he was still standing beside the coffin with a blank look on his face, as if he had nothing to do with it.

I laughed to myself, at my own stupidity, at having placed my hopes in him.

Rubbing my sleeves, I pointed at the road ahead of us and said helplessly, "Uncle, did you forget where we are going?"

Seeing his confused face, I was too lazy to beat around the bush, so I said straightforwardly, "Master said that Mother's days of death are not good. It's the Yin, Yin, Yin, and Yin years, and we need to spend more time in front of the Buddha. Previously, he didn't tell his uncle because he couldn't help but be disrespectful in front of the Buddha if he were to say such words. At this moment, we should naturally return to Mother's body and return her to her ancestral grave. "

Second Master Lu and Lady Wang could not help but look at each other. Even though they knew that it was a trap set up by me, they could not refute it.

However, due to face, they couldn't just go back directly. They could only instruct the servants to catch a carriage and place the Wang family's carriage at the back of the Yang family. The two men and their fathers rode horses to escort the coffin, accompanying the procession to deliver the spirit to them as they slowly moved forward.

No matter how much the family tried to persuade her, she refused to leave with Aunt Mo. I had no choice but to dismiss the unhappy Mohist and take him back to his own carriage.

Jiang Ming led the horse and passed by me. He took the opportunity to instruct me: "Since Second Grandma Lu is here, it's inconvenient for me to follow you too closely. I'll protect you from the back."

I glanced at him, ignored him, and led the way to the car. For some inexplicable reason, she felt a little happy.

Seems to be happy that someone is finally protecting me.

He then mocked to himself. He was obviously quite old, but he was actually elated for the first time because of a young man's love. It was truly laughable.

"Elder sister, what's so funny?"

Jiayi was sitting between me and Aunt Wang, holding a cup of tea. His big eyes were staring at me as he spoke in a serious tone.

Aunt Wang broke off a piece of dessert and handed it to him, lovingly patting his head. "Your sister is very happy!"

With the pastries in his mouth, Jia Yi looked at me and asked Aunt Wang, "Why is elder sister happy?"

Aunt Wang didn't answer him. Instead, she smiled at me and asked, "Second Young Master, do you like having a brother-in-law?"
