So Murong Chi continued:

"In the Lin Mansion where Miss Lin Qingzhu lives, the bodies of many maidservants were found last night. The death conditions were very tragic and bizarre, which made everyone in the Lin Mansion panic, very strange."

Hearing this, Xia Qinuan and the others all had serious expressions on their faces. They looked at each other a few times, and they all saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Murong Che asked:

"Brother, what are the death conditions of those maids, have you heard about them?"

Murong Chi stroked his chin and recalled carefully:

"It seems that many places are bitten by wild animals, and the body is sucked dry and shrunk, as if it has aged dozens of years."

This is a bit weird, it seems that you have to go and see for yourself to know what is going on.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xia Qinuan couldn't help suggesting:

"Fortunately, these few days are free, why don't we go to the Lin Mansion today to see the situation, if we can help, it will be a good thing."

The Lin family and the Murong family are married, and the Murong family will definitely help in the Lin family's affairs.

Xia Qinuan and the others live in the Murong Mansion, so they can do something.

Besides, the few of them are well-known and upright monks, and when encountering these ghosts and ghosts, they have to get mixed up.

The rest of the people naturally had no objection, Murong Che nodded and said:

"It's so good. After breakfast, let's go to the Lin Mansion."

Although he originally wanted to avoid Lin Qingzhu, but every yard counts, and when it comes to business, he should let go of these children's personal affairs.

After Xia Qinuan and the others made an agreement, they hurriedly finished their meal and were taken by Murong Chi to the Lin residence.

"Miss, don't be sad, don't cry and break your body."

A girl dressed as a maid supported Lin Qingzhu, comforting her young lady with a distressed expression.

Lin Qingzhu's eyes were red and her eyes were blue. It was obvious that she hadn't slept well all night. She looked a lot haggard than before.

With tears in her eyes, she said with a regretful expression:

"Cicada, if I knew I wouldn't go to the Lantern Festival yesterday, maybe Die Er and the others would, wouldn't..."

Die'er is the maid who served her since she was a child, and it can be said that she is inseparable from her.

When visiting the Lantern Festival yesterday, Lin Qingzhu didn't bring Die Er because she wanted to see Murong Che and didn't want others to follow her.

But who knows, Die'er was fine when she left, but when she came back, her body was directly lying on the door of Lin Qingzhu's room!

What's even more strange is that during the same time period last night, many maids died, all of them were maids in the Green Bamboo Pavilion where she lived.

Only Cicada, who happened to go out to visit relatives, escaped.

It stands to reason that there should be a lot of movement when the dead person dies, but before she came back, no one found out about it.

This made Lin Qingzhu, who was found dead everywhere when he returned to Qingzhuxuan, frightened and confused.

She was so scared and sad that she didn't close her eyes all night.

Cicada patted Lin Qingzhu's shoulder and said with hesitation:

"Miss, Chan'er has a guess, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Lin Qingzhu raised his eyes, his attention was attracted by this sentence, he finally stopped his tears, and said curiously:

"What's your guess? Tell me, Cicada, I won't blame you."

Cicada looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else, she approached Lin Qingzhu's ear and said:

"Cicada thinks that this matter may be aimed at you... Maybe you went to the Lantern Festival last night, but you escaped a catastrophe instead."

Lin Qingzhu's expression was shocked when he heard the words: Yes, why didn't she think of that!

The other party only attacked Qingzhuxuan, maybe it was aimed at her.

If she stayed in the Green Bamboo Pavilion during the time last night and did not go out, the consequences would be disastrous.

Lin Qingzhu was afraid for a while, and looked at the expression of Cicada and became a little more speculative:

"Cicada, why did you say that? Could it be that you discovered something before?"

Cicada happened to go home to visit relatives last night, so she escaped the catastrophe. Could it be that she knew something in advance?

Chan'er heard the words, shook her head calmly, and said:

"Cicada didn't know it. It was a coincidence that it was true when I went home yesterday. This is just a conjecture of the servant girl."

Lin Qingzhu still wanted to ask more questions, but at this time a young man came to report:

"Miss, the Patriarch brought people from the Murong Mansion to visit you."

Because all the maids in her courtyard were dead, now her mother helped her transfer some servants and maids from other courtyards.

Hearing that the people from Murong Mansion were coming, Lin Qingzhu quickly adjusted his mood, and ordered Chan'er to paint his eyebrows and lips again before going out to meet the guests.

/

A group of people followed Lin Shuyuan, the head of the Lin family, into the Green Bamboo Pavilion.

Xia Qinuan looked around secretly

The Green Bamboo Pavilion is like a bamboo forest, with towering bamboos everywhere, and there are stone tables and benches in the garden, which is very elegant and simple.

This bamboo grove is beautiful, but it separates the Green Bamboo Pavilion from the rest of the Lin Mansion, forming a world of its own, very secretive, no wonder no one found out what happened to the Green Bamboo Pavilion in the first place.

Stepping into the hall of the hall, Lin Qingzhu was already standing in the center waiting. When she saw her father, she first saluted:

"Hi, father."

Even if she put on her makeup, she could still see that Lin Qingzhu's complexion was not good.

Lin Shuyuan saw his beloved eldest daughter looking haggard, and couldn't help helping her up:

"Qingzhu, I've surprised you, my father must order someone to investigate this matter thoroughly."

"These are the two sons of the Murong family and some immortals. They are here to help us investigate the situation today."

Hearing this, Lin Qingzhu hurriedly saluted Murong Chi and his party again, expressing his gratitude:

"Little girl, thank you for your concern, I am really grateful."

She looked at Murong Che leisurely, and saw that her sweetheart had also come, and the depression since yesterday finally eased a lot.

Xia Qinuan and the others hurriedly returned the gift, and Murong Chi was the first to ask:

"Miss Lin, can you show us the situation of those maids?"

Lin Qingzhu hurriedly put the children's affair out of her mind, with a solemn face, said:

"Fellow daoists, please come with the little girl."

With that said, she led everyone to the backyard of Qingzhuxuan.

Lin Shuyuan still had to deal with matters in the family, so he didn't follow.

There were dense bamboo forests along the way, which made Xia Qinuan a little dazed.

In the backyard, the ground made of bluestone slabs was covered with fallen leaves from the bamboo forest, and on top of that were the corpses of the maids.

There were eight maidservants in Qingzhuxuan, only Chan'er escaped, so there were seven corpses on the ground.

The seven corpses were lined up neatly, apparently ordered by Lin Qingzhu to place them carefully.

Each corpse is covered with a roll of bamboo mat, which should be to cover up the horrific scene below.

Xia Qinuan and the others went down the mountain to practice for a period of time, and they had already developed a good psychological quality, so they stepped forward and opened the bamboo mat to check.

"hiss--"

Seeing the horrified scene under the bamboo mat, Murong Chi couldn't help crying out in shock.

After all, he is a pampered son, this is the first time he has seen such a scene, and it is normal that he is not used to it.

And Lin Qingzhu turned his face away long ago, unwilling to look at it again.

The maid who used to fight with her has become like this overnight, and she feels very uncomfortable.
