The marriage of the children of big families is not something that can be decided by themselves. Men are better off. They can choose a concubine after marrying a regular wife, but women have no choice at all. Whether they marry or not is all up to the family. There is no marriage across social classes... unless it is a down-and-out low-ranking samurai who cannot make a living and is forced to marry into a wealthy commoner merchant's family.

Because of her character, Mizuhara Yuko always protects her younger sister habitually, but as the eldest daughter, she must be married first.

At this time, Mrs. Kutiao would find it a bit ridiculous when she recalled herself back then, because now she is living a happy life, with a harmonious family and loving husband and wife, but at that time Yuko Mizuhara didn’t want to marry at all, just like every single dog can’t imagine It's the same as who your partner will be in the future. When you think of sleeping next to the pillow with a stranger you don't know yet, you will feel a sense of resistance in your heart.

So at that time Mizuhara Yuko made the decision to go out. She secretly changed into men's clothes and decided to run away from home. Rescued Jiutiao Xincheng who secretly ran away from home when he was young.

Speaking of this, Jiujo Xincheng showed a look of "too young at the time", and also mentioned how he was suddenly rescued by Yuko Mizuhara after being kidnapped by the kidnappers. , but was interrupted by Su Bai's cough.

The problem does not lie in the process of saving people, but in the fact that Mizuhara Yuko and Kujo Shinjo got acquainted because of this incident, and then fell in love. About a year or so has passed.

Originally, it was a happy result for both parties here, but what the two young people did not expect was that within a year of leaving, Kutiao Xincheng was forcibly arranged by the family for a marriage, and the same thing happened to Suwon You Yuko's body, just because Yuko ran away from home almost made her father angry, but the marriage contract could only be postponed to Mizuhara Koko.

So the bloody thing happened, and the marriage partner of Jiujo Xincheng became Mizuhara Yuko's younger sister, Mizuhara Koko.

Speaking of this, Su Bai looked at Jiutiao Xincheng strangely: "She used to be your fiancée, and also your wife's younger sister. You haven't seen her before?"

"Although the Suwon family is powerful in the local area, they are still some distance away from Kyoto. In the past, the two families relied on political marriages to maintain stability." Jiujo Xincheng shook his head: "I have never even been to the Suwon family."

The customs in Japan are even stricter than those in Chongguo. When they get married, they always take over the woman, and even change their surname directly. It can be seen that a married woman is like water that has been poured out, and it is hard to recover.

Back then, Jiutiao Xincheng studied Confucianism, and he was also a young man who was desperate for love. After knowing that he was engaged to be engaged, he went on a hunger strike and forced his parents to reject the engagement. Generally speaking, this is impossible, because it is political. Marriage, but fortunately things are not completely without a turning point, because Mizuhara Koko's marriage contract was originally inherited from Mizuhara Yuko, as long as Mizuhara agrees, the marriage contract between the two can continue.

But there must be a victim here, the original Mizuhara Koko’s marriage contract must be rejected, then she has been known as the unmarried daughter-in-law of the Kujo clan, and now she suddenly cannot get married, as people in the Edo period You must know that this kind of thing is not uncommon. It also happened in the ancient times of the Chong Kingdom. Cai Wenji of the Three Kingdoms, her husband died before entering the family, and she was named Kefu. marriage.

The best result for Mizuhara Koko is to marry her sister, but not as the main wife, but as a concubine.

But youth always brings impulsiveness, and it also brings serious consequences...

"It's my fault." Mrs. Kutiao said softly, "I didn't think about Xiangzi's situation. After I got home and found out about the engagement, I was too impulsive to listen to anything, so I quarreled with her, and Xiangzi I have always been bitter about my leaving without saying goodbye. We didn't even have a good talk. After discussing with the Kujo clan and the Mizuhara clan, they decided to continue the marriage contract and fulfill us, but Xiangzi...she was forced to go down as a victim. Married to an ordinary businessman and went to a faraway place."

Mrs. Jiutiao bit her lower lip guiltily. She concealed her expression and said sadly: "She could have married a better person, but she was forced to go to such a far away place and wander about."

In this day and age, getting married is a lifetime thing. There is no such thing as divorce here, and widows are looked down upon.

From the perspective of modern people, this matter may be a small contradiction, but in the long run, the life trajectories of Mizuhara Yuko and Mizuhara Koko have changed.

However, it would be unreasonable to say that it was because of this incident that there was such a strong resentment that even after death, the resentment was so high. What's more, Mizuhara Xiangzi was killed artificially. Her hatred should not be directed at her former sister, but It should be towards the murderer, unless... Mrs. Kutiao is the murderer!

But this possibility is very low. She has no motivation or reason to kill Mizuhara Koko. Even if there is any reason, it is already done. Take it, even if the mother's hands are bloody, she will not take the child to see the scene where the corpse is buried, otherwise it would be so insane?

Su Bai didn't have enough fragments of thought, so he could only continue to ask: "What happened next?"

Madam Jiutiao shook her head: "I don't know what happened later, I haven't seen her for a long time, but I am really sorry for her, if it is because of these things that she came to seek revenge on me, I can understand, after all It was me who made her life like this..."

"Just this is not enough." Su Bai shook his head: "The premise of the generation of resentful spirits is the cause and effect with people. If your cause and effect relationship has been broken for several years, no matter how strong the hatred is, it should not last Now, resentment has nowhere to take root, and it is impossible to entangle Mrs. Jiutiao... The existence of cause and effect is definitely not only because of the long past, but also because of the present."

He put the mask on his face, covering half of his face, looked at Mrs. Jiutiao through the eyes of the fox, and saw the blue luster shining on her body. Tap the tip of the fox mask's nose.

He said unhurriedly, "Ma'am, you must be hiding something, right?"

Madam Kutiao opened her mouth, she shook her head and said, "I'm not hiding anything."

Su Bai raised his eyebrows. If the other party insisted on refusing to speak, there was nothing he could do, but time did not allow to continue to prioritize.

From the corner of her eyes, she saw that Lianhua had changed from one hand to two hands, and her forehead was slightly sweaty, and she also felt stronger pressure.

As everyone talked, the rampage of the resentful spirits became more and more violent. The terrifying vibrations and impacts were like a hammer hitting an iron felt, constantly shaking the courtyard, and causing the cobblestones on the ground to bounce and fall one after another.

"Some, I can't hold it back." Lianhua's breathing rhythm was chaotic, and a slight crack appeared on her fingertips. Blood gushed out from the cracks in the nails and dripped on the ground: "It's angry..."

anger?Why angry?

Su Bai glanced at Mrs. Jiutiao, and realized that if there were no lies in her words, she was deliberately concealing something.

Before he had time to say anything, he hurried forward to help Lianhua, but when he touched her back, he found that her body temperature was surprisingly low, like an ice cube. The moment he touched it, it was like the heat and temperature of a human body They are being sucked away continuously... This feeling of loss of life force is like the feeling when I embraced the brilliance of the deep sea before.

"You can't hold on like this." Su Bai discovered that the heat loss was actually faster than the deep sea.

"I can hold on for a while longer." Lianhua didn't look back, and said with difficulty, "As expected, I still haven't been able to ask anything..."

"You guessed it a long time ago?" Su Bai looked at Lianhua's bleeding finger: "You guessed that none of them would tell the truth?"

"The truth that people know is different from the truth held by the strange ghosts." Lianhua said with difficulty: "What is the truth, you can't find out by asking, it's not like you want to investigate the case... Same."

"Isn't there only one truth?"

"There is more than one truth, and everyone has a truth in their hearts." Lianhua stared at the resentful spirit, her palm was as cold as a cold stone, and gradually lost its strength to support: "If you want to find out the truth, it means you want to go deep into someone. Who will cut open your heart for you to see? No one will do that, everyone will lie, me too, and you too...so the truth can only be seen by everyone.”

Su Bai was silent, he smiled wryly: "You are right."

This is not a mystery novel. It is a kind of fool and ridicule to pay attention to any clues, talk about evidence, and talk about the truth.

Truth, truth, it's easy to make up as many of these things as you want, but no one knows the real truth. Everyone has a self-righteous truth hidden in their hearts. Whether this truth is right or wrong doesn't matter to that person at all. important.

Mrs. Kutiao insisted that she didn't know, not because she didn't know the truth, but because she didn't know whether she knew or not. In other words, she firmly believed that she didn't know everything, so far she was just guilty.

But resentment cannot be born out of thin air. Why did it come, why did it appear, why did it form, and who was harmed by it? Only it knows all the answers. If you want to see through the truth held by the resentment, you must see through it In the heart, this means...

"I understand what you mean." Su Bai nodded, maybe there shouldn't be any detours from the beginning.

Lianhua's fingers trembled, the last bit of pressure dissipated, and the roar of the Wraith became more piercing.

Su Bai held Lianhua's blood-stained fingers and whispered, "Lianhua, you can let go."

The girl nodded, leaned against Su Bai's arms, and lowered her right hand. The moment she dissipated her spiritual power, the invisible wall that oppressed the resentful spirit disappeared. It turned into an invisible but qualitative torrent, whistling like a blood-red pool of water.

Su Bai hugged Lianhua, without any resistance, just closed his eyes, and let the crimson water rushing out of the wraith's body submerge him. In an instant, the figure was submerged in the wraith, and the entire courtyard was almost in an instant. All swallowed up.
