On the other side, Shen Niannian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After realizing that she could not get any other useful information, she chopped the manager with her knife and knocked him unconscious instantly.

Fatty asked in surprise, "Aren't you afraid that if you knock him out, we can start over?"

"He is not the main character and will not affect the direction of the plot." Shen Niannian said.

Generally, NPCs only play a supporting role and cannot really affect the overall situation.

As long as they don't use magic or puppetry to control and influence NPCs, they are all within the controllable range.

Fatty didn't quite understand, but he probably understood what Shen Niannian meant.

Just when he was in a daze, he heard Shen Niannian say, "Fatty, you will be in charge from now on."

"Ah?" Fatty stood up in a daze.

Shen Niannian said: "You continue to lurk in the Xiao family and find out all the useful information."

Hearing this, it seems to be a very important role.

The fat ball became happy instantly. It instantly transformed into a human form and appeared in front of Shen Niannian as a manager.

But once it opened its mouth, it still had that 'child' voice.

"Look like?"

Shen Niannian's mouth twitched: "Just change the voice and it will be exactly the same."

"No problem." His voice suddenly changed.

The illusion technique of the psychedelic butterfly clan is extremely good no matter where it is.

Shen Niannian took out two holy fruits from her bosom and handed them to Fatty Ball: "Don't be greedy. If you really don't have enough energy, eat another one."

After giving the order, Shen Niannian and Lu Wenyan dragged the unconscious steward and Gu Yaozu, who was still like a puppet, towards the southeast courtyard of the Xiao family.

This time, Shen Niannian is determined to find out what is hidden there!

Along the way, Shen Niannian was recalling the secrets told by the steward.

It turned out that the woman buried with Xiao Yu was Zhou Chuchu's personal maid.

However, Zhou Chuchu did not go to prison to share life and death with Xiao Yu. She finally married Xiao Yu, and the one who went to prison instead of her and left a child with Xiao Yu was her personal maid.

Xiao Yansheng is the son of Zhou Chuchu and Xiao Yu.

I heard that when Zhou Chuchu learned that Xiao Yu was imprisoned, she escaped once at night, but was later caught by her parents. She simply admitted that she did not want to marry Xiao Yu.

Therefore, his parents came up with a plan to use someone else's talent as a substitute.

Later, in order to reconcile the two families, they married Zhou Chuchu to Xiao Yu as his principal wife.

Over the years, Zhou Chuchu has been devoted to worshipping Buddha and has not paid attention to worldly affairs, and has even neglected to care for her son Xiao Yansheng.

When the steward talked about this matter, he was particularly disdainful.

I just thought that such a heartless and ungrateful woman would never be expected to have any kind feelings.

The maid who went to jail in place of Zhou Chuchu gave birth to a baby girl the following year and was poisoned to death in the backyard.

After the maid died, ghosts began to haunt the backyard.

For seven or eight years, no one dared to go near there.

Later, Taoist Fenxiang returned and was invited into the Xiao Mansion.

According to what the Taoist priest Fenxiang said, the maid was extremely resentful and loved Xiao Yu deeply. Only by burying their bodies together could this sin be appeased.

Sure enough, after Xiao Yu ordered people to bury it in Xiao Yu's coffin, there were no more ghost stories in the backyard.

But even so, no one dared to go to the backyard.

When Shen Niannian heard this, he asked the manager, was the backyard he was talking about the southeast courtyard?

The steward was surprised for a moment, then nodded in the affirmative.

And when Shen Niannian mentioned where the baby girl born by the maid was, an indescribable disgust and complex emotions appeared on the manager's face.

Only after Shen Niannian's repeated questioning did he learn the truth.

The baby girl's name was Su Yue, and she was raised by a "ghost".

And that ghost was the maid who had died long ago.

When Taoist Fenxiang went to the southeast courtyard, he saw Su Yue, who had already grown into a child.

The little girl was timid, with a beauty mole at the corner of her eye. She stared with a pair of round eyes, and everyone she looked at was scary.

She had stayed in such a dark place all year round and had little food and drink, so she was naturally smaller and thinner than ordinary children.

But she has a special identity after all, she is the orphan of the late Xiao Yu.

After learning that the maid had given birth to a girl, the Xiao family wanted to let her die in the southeast courtyard.

But who would have thought that she would grow up to be so healthy.

So, Xiao Yu didn't take her seriously. He just waved his hand, and the southeast courtyard became Su Yue's courtyard.

In order to gain a good reputation among the clan, Xiao Yu asked his servants to bring her food regularly. But he didn't care about it, so over time, the servants became more and more lazy.

Everyone seemed to have tacitly accepted that such a life was dead and no one cared.

But the weeds are stubborn and grow more vigorously.

One day more than half a year ago, Mrs. Zhou Chuchu, who had never cared about worldly affairs, passed by the courtyard.

A sudden curiosity drove her into the dilapidated courtyard.

But after entering the courtyard, she heard the voice of her son.

They were childhood sweethearts and developed a secret crush on each other.

It turned out that his son and this woman had already promised to spend their lives together.

Over the years, he brought her food, took care of her, and taught her to read, write, and paint.

Su Yue is also extremely intelligent, not inferior to men at all.

Everyone says that Xiao Yansheng is extremely intelligent, but in Xiao Yansheng's opinion, Su Yue is smarter than him.

If she were a man, she would be able to pass the imperial examination and would definitely pass before him.

Perhaps it is more than that. If she were a man, she would be Xiao Yu's heir and would not be abandoned here like a grass and left to fend for herself.

She might even be able to bring honor to the Xiao family, just like her father Xiao Yu.

But unfortunately, she was born a girl.

In this world, women's lives are worth less than pigs and dogs, and are like grass.

Surprisingly, Zhou Chuchu was not angry when she saw her son and Su Yue like this.

But she could not hide this matter, as the servants and maids who accompanied her all witnessed the scene.

Xiao Yu soon found out about the matter.

Xiao Yu was furious and scolded Zhou Chuchu for a long time. He said that Xiao Yansheng and Su Yue were against human ethics.

He said that Zhou Chuchu was not fit to be a mother, and she did not even try to dissuade her legitimate son from doing such things.

Xiao Yu on that day was enough to strike fear into the hearts of everyone in the Xiao family.

But everyone knows that it is acceptable for ordinary cousins ​​to marry each other, not to mention Xiao Yansheng and Su Yue... Xiao Yu is just the legitimate son of a branch family far away in Jiangnan, and the two of them are not really against human ethics.

But Xiao Yu was furious.

He lived in the shadow of Xiao Yu for the rest of his life, feeling depressed and frustrated for nearly twenty years.

Therefore, he could never tolerate his only son...his only son who stood out from the crowd, being ruined by such a woman.

So he locked up Xiao Yansheng and ordered his men to beat Su Yue to death.

In the snow in the cold winter, scarlet spread and the heart-wrenching wails continued.

When Xiao Yansheng learned about this, he was heartbroken, so before the arrival of early spring that year, he committed suicide by taking poison.
