Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Tonight's moon is hidden in the clouds, and the moonlight casts irregular and thin halos on the clouds. Occasionally, a cool breeze blows, making people feel the arrival of autumn.

The Chu family's courtyard seemed to have just experienced a shocking disaster, and everyone present couldn't help trembling and feeling terrified.

Fu Yin is a very large target, and standing on the roof cannot hide his figure well.

Shen Huaixu tugged at Fu Yin's sleeve. Seeing a pair of silent and resentful eyes falling on her, she swallowed back the words she was about to say and hooked her finger at him instead.

Fu Yin leaned over to look at him, and felt a touch of softness on his face which was shrouded by the veil. He stood there in a daze, unable to react for a long time.

Shen Huaixu touched Fu Yin's face like a gangster, and smiled, "Lord He Yin is the most handsome person I have ever seen besides my father. Helping him late at night is even more handsome. But you are too conspicuous. I don't want others to see you. Can you go back to the space first?"

Fu Yin: “…”

His Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes swept across Shen Huaixu's face inch by inch. In the end, he didn't say anything. Instead, he no longer dared to look directly into Shen Huaixu's eyes. Unconsciously, he returned to the space and sat in the place where he usually read.

Fu Yin, who had been sitting there for a long while, reacted belatedly - he seemed to have been confused by Shen Huaixu's mouth, and in the end he even forgot to breathe.

He agreed with the compliment that he was good-looking. In terms of aesthetics, Shen Huaixu was quite tasteful. But... why did he exclude her father? He thought a little depressedly.

Forget it, he is my future father-in-law after all.

There was a smile in Fu Yin's eyes and eyebrows, making people feel that they have returned to the season when all things come back to life and spring springs gurgle.

He finally understood why the beauty trap was included in Sun Tzu's Art of War. It turned out that he also had the bad qualities of human beings.

Fu Yin, who thought this through clearly, was not angry, but happy instead.

Shen Huaixu still stayed at the Chu residence to finish the work.

They made this fuss not for the lives of the Chu family, but to make the matter bigger. The bigger the fuss, the more exaggerated the rumors that spread would be, and the greater the deterrent effect would be.

Many people are indifferent to human life but fear ghosts and gods.

It can be seen that the wireless speaker is very effective, and many people living near the Chu residence heard the noise.

Some of them had their doors and windows closed, as if they were still asleep; some lit tiny candles, casting dim light on the windows; some bolder ones poked their heads out to their own yards and looked in the direction of Chu's residence.

At the same time, the neighing and clattering of horses could be heard from the other side of the long street.

Shen Huaixu lowered his body, left the roof, climbed over the wall and came to the outside of the courtyard, where he found Zhuyue who had been hiding in the shadows waiting.

Zhuyue heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine. He whispered, "Tunyuan has been taken back by me. How are Miss Xiaoman and Miss Shuangjiang?"

Tunyuan is the name of the small flower snake raised by Zhuyue. Shen Huaixu didn't know it was called this before and called it "Xiaohua" casually. Zhuyue then stammered out the real name "Xiaohua".

The master and his two servants looked at the little snake and laughed a lot.

"Everyone in the mourning hall has run away. They can find the right time to come out. Don't worry." Shen Huaixu comforted gently.

The two waited in silence for a while. The noise from the nearby street grew louder and louder. Tun Yuan's head appeared from Zhu Yue's sleeve, his ink-black pupils flashing a cold and sharp light.

Shen Huaixu closed his eyes and calmed down, listening for a while, "The county magistrate brought a lot of people with him."

The place where they were hiding was not far from the front gate of the Chu family. Shen Huaixu could hear someone stammering, "County, county, county magistrate, help me! There's a commotion in the house, there's a ghost!"

As soon as he finished speaking, County Magistrate Qiu sternly stopped him: "What nonsense! Come on! Take him away and wake him up!"

Zhuyue was amazed at Shen Huaixu's sensitive hearing, and at the same time, she was secretly worried about Xiaoman and Shuangjiang, and she pinched her thumb unconsciously.

After a moment, Shen Huaixu opened his eyes and said, "Here it comes."

Xiaoman and Shuangjiang carried a sack and climbed over the wall, and worked together seamlessly to bring the sack to Shen Huaixu and Zhuyue.

Before they could speak, Shen Huaixu said, "It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's leave first."

The four of them and the sack were finally relieved.

Xiaoman was the most excited: "Fortunately, Qin Xiaowan had just passed away a few days ago, so the coffin didn't smell that bad. It was hard for Sister Shuangjiang. If she didn't hold her breath, she would have been poisoned if she stayed in there for a while longer!"

There was a pill given by Shen Huaixu under Shuangjiang's tongue, but her face still looked ugly.

"But Miss Zhuyue, the smell of your medicine is really strong. When I opened it, it almost made me vomit."

Xiaoman took out a small green bottle from her arms and handed it to Zhuyue. The strong stench came from this.

Zhuyue reached out to take it, "I only have this one bottle, and it's meant to disgust people."

"If you say so, it's quite symptomatic."

Xiaoman thought of something, and her scalp tingled at first, but she couldn't help her curiosity, "The young lady heard a voice outside, like... like what she said."

She pointed at the sack.

Zhuyue looked at the sack and then at Shen Huaixu, her expression complicated and difficult to discern.

Shen Huaixu did a lot of things tonight, such as moving the bodies of the bride and groom without anyone noticing, making insects fall from the sky, and that ethereal female voice that sounded like a curse.

Seeing that the three of them were looking at him, Shen Huaixu deliberately kept them in suspense, "If we don't bury Qin Xiaowan's body properly, it will be dawn soon."

Lixia and the others have been waiting for a long time.

She blew a loud whistle, and soon someone knocked on the window, and Lixia climbed in alone.

"Bury her properly and remember to burn some paper money." Shen Huaixu ordered in a calm voice.

The thin coffin and the place where Qin Xiaowan was buried were all prepared by Lixia and his friends. They said that Qin Xiaowan's burial place was surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers, backed by a bamboo forest, and was very peaceful.

After Lixia left with the sack, Shen Huaixu looked at the three people who had fallen silent, waved his hand and said, "It's almost halfway through the night, go get some rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if there's anything else."
