Chapter 28 Gate of Resentment

  When Lin You arrived at the big courtyard, she really felt the difference in the atmosphere.

    The big room is of the future successor of the Xu family, but his residence is rather simple. The yard smells of medicine all year round. Of course, this may have something to do with the poor health of a person staying here.

    When Lin You entered, almost everyone was already there. At a glance, she found the surviving rookie girl. She saw tears in her eyes, her little face was pale. Lin You looked at her relative first

    “Lin You meets the eldest lady.” Lin You’s etiquette was nondescript, but the others seemed to be unaware. The eldest lady in the main seat smiled tenderly and looked at her like her own daughter. She was one of the twins, the eldest miss of the Xu family of this generation.

    “Look, it’s boring to make trouble with my family all the time. Look, there are so many sisters here all at once.”

    “No way, just a few more sisters and more people for me to play with.” The eldest young lady’s name is Xu Zhihui. Because of being a twin, her name was based on her brothers.The eldest young master’s name is Xu Zhili.

    Lin You still wasn’t here, the eldest young lady took the hand of the newcomer Bai Xue, and Bai Xue shivered and did not dare to refuse. But now that Lin You was here, she was distracted, and Bai Xue took the opportunity to take her hand out and hide behind Lin You.

    Lin You: … Miss, why are you so open and upright, do NPCs lose face?

    Sure enough, the retribution came soon. Miss Xu stood up, a trace of injury flashed across her face.

    “It seems that the younger sister of the Bai family likes the younger sister of the Lin family more.” Miss Xu said regretfully. Hearing her words, Lin You clearly felt Bai Xue’s body tremble behind her.

    “I met and chatted a few times with Bai Xue on the road. Bai Xue is also an introvert, so it seems that she has become more intimate with me.” Lin You smiled. “If the sister of the Xu family interacts with her more in the future, the relationship will naturally become stronger .”

    Miss Xu looked at Lin You, and then at Bai Xue, who almost shrank behind Lin You, and felt that the younger sister of the Lin family makes sense. In fact, she also disliked Bai Xue a little. As a lady from a distinguished house, her character is really too weak to take advantage of.

    In the end, it was Mrs. Xu who made the conversation. Lin You chatted a few words with Mrs. Xu and the eldest young lady, and got to know their personalities a little bit. During this period, Bai Xue didn’t even dare to make a sound. Lin You felt that the girl estimated that she spent half an hour chatting.

    Half an hour later, the eldest young master of the Xu family happened to come over to do greetings. In this way, people with foreign surnames like Bai Xue and Lin You were not suitable to stay here, and Lin You said goodbye rather fast. When she was leaving, regardless of Bai Xue’s urgency, she slowly walked out of the big courtyard, and understood the layout of it.

    As soon as they went out, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Bai Xue, the maidservant next to her, had to step up to wait on them, but they were pushed back by Lin You, because she and the elder sister of the Bai family felt close to each other as soon as they saw each other, and they had to have a good chat.

    “Uuuuu.” When the others almost retreated, Bai Xue finally couldn’t hold back her tears, and she burst into tears on the spot, “It scared me to death, scared me to death.”

    “Where’s the other one?” Lin You faintly 

     “Dead, dead.” Bai Xue choked up and said

     “Those maids said, we don’t look like the young ladies of the Bai family, so, just…”

    Bai Xue’s words were muttered, and Lin You had already extracted these words. Another girl’s character was broken and she was torn apart by the group of NPCs. Bai Xue fainted on the spot and escaped the catastrophe. But if she wasn’t scared and broke her character, those NPCs would immediately change their face.

    Lin You was also so frightened, she silently sympathized with the girl in her heart, and she also comforted Bai Xue with a few words. This time Bai Xue cried louder. Lin You, who had not had a good rest, only felt a pain in her forehead. When she was completely over, Lin You asked, “Why didn’t i see the aunt from the Xu family with you   today?”

Didn’t the aunt of the Xu family like the two newcomers? Why is she not here at this time?

    “This… Aunt Xu said that she couldn’t get up, and ” Bai Xue repeated what she heard in the morning. “Without me, I don’t know if there is any Xu family left. It stands to reason… the latter words i couldn’t hear well.”

 It seems that the relationship between the aunt and sister-in-law isn’t very good.

    Lin You nodded, took out a handkerchief and wiped tears for Bai Xue, asked a few more questions, and said casually about her experience in dealing with those ghosts, ahem, what, she is also someone who has experienced it once.

    In this way, they exchanged information, and in the end, this Bai Xue girl didn’t even want to go back.

    “Didn’t you say you can communicate? Then I’ll follow you.” Bai Xue hugged Lin You and didn’t let go. She didn’t want to go back to that terrible place.

    Lin You thinks it’s not a question of whether she can live, but she doesn’t want to bring Bai Xue with her at all. It would be good to be able to mention a few words. She can’t protect herself now, and she is still asked to carry a person. When danger is really encountered, is she going to run or save her?

    Lin You thought that she was not that noble, so she rejected Bai Xue decisively, and told her that the more people gathered, the easier it would be for the boss to target them. This time, Bai Xue hesitated.

    Taking this opportunity, Lin You decisively left and returned to her yard, and told Mrs. Lin not to disturb her if someone comes, especially the lady of the Bai family. She was really tired, Lin You lay on the bed, touched the place where the knife was on her waist, felt a little sense of security, and then fell asleep.

    It wasn’t until the afternoon that Mrs. Lin came to wake up Lin You. Because there is a reception banquet specially held for their arrival tonight, it is impossible not to go. Lin You could only let Madam Lin dress her up  with a blank face and prepare for the banquet.

    This time, she didn’t encounter Bai Xue on the way, but she met the eldest young master, the guy who jumped into the river in the middle of the night. After the welcoming ceremony, the eldest young master actually invited Lin You to the banquet. Of course, even if he didn’t mention it, they just happened to be going through the same path.

    “If it’s all right, leave the house as soon as possible.” The entourage was some distance away from Lin You and the eldest young master, and the eldest young master said this very quietly, so it was naturally not heard by others.

    “Leave? The eldest young master has high regard for me.” Lin You lowered his head, avoiding the eldest young master’s gaze. Did this eldest young master come here specifically to tell her this? “I’m an orphan, where can I go after leaving the Xu family?”

    “Do you really think the Xu family can shelter you from the wind and rain?”

    Lin You thought of the corpses that were examined yesterday. They were all relatives of the Xu family. Lin You looked at the back of the eldest young master to make sure he knew something about this eccentric Xu family.

    If it hadn’t happened yesterday, Lin You would have thought that the eldest young master had no conscience. Knowing that the Xu family brought back the bodies of their relatives and didn’t know what to do, after hearing what the young master Xu said, Lin You didn’t regret it so much.

    You didn’t save a white-eyed wolf yourself, did you?

    Lin You came very early. In fact, there are not many Xu family members. In addition, the men and women are separated, so there are almost no people in the side hall, only a few servants who are still setting up dishes. Lin You was ushered into the seat and quietly waited for the banquet to start.

    But not long after, there was a commotion in front of the room, and Lin You was feeling strange when the second lady came in.

    “Hello, Second Madam.” Lin You quickly stood up and saluted. Fortunately, she was a young lady. If it was a servant, wouldn’t it mean that everyone who saw her would have to salute? It seems that Lin You sympathized with the trio of Qi Fang Nian.

    The second lady nodded, then turned around and waved her hand, beckoning a maid beside her to give a few words.

    “Who’s so noisy in the Xu family’s banquet? Let’s go and see what happened!” 

The second lady looked very capable and aggressive, much more powerful than the eldest lady. Lin You saw that she ordered the maid like this, afterwards she smiled at Lin You again,

    “I’m so sorry, I let the Lin family girl see a joke.”

    “The second lady is joking.” Lin You just twitched the corner of her mouth.

    “What’s the name of the second lady? It’s not good to call  you the second lady all the time.” The second lady took Lin You’s hand and walked into the hall affectionately. Just as she was about to sit down, the previous maid ran in.

    “Madam, it’s not good.” The maid’s face was pale, and her hair was wet with sweat. “The second master, the second master…”

    “The second master is back.” The second lady was a little strange, “I don’t mean… “…”

    “Second Master, let’s go.” After the maid finished speaking, she fell to the ground. Lin You was watching the play when she felt a pain in her hand, and before she could breathe out, the second lady that  was sitting on the chair loosened her hand.

    “You, what did you say?”

    “Second, the second master…”

    Before the maid could finish speaking, the second lady had already rushed out, and Lin You hurriedly followed. The old lady is dead, and the second master is also dead, so while the family is in chaos, there will always be some news that can’t be suppressed.

    Seeing Madam Lin waiting outside the side hall, Lin You rolled her eyes and looked at the sky, it was already evening.

    “Mom, hurry up and find out what’s going on.” Lin You pretended to be flustered, “Second Madam rushed out now, I’m going to go and have a look.”

    After speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Lin reaction, her feet disappeared. Madam Lin was about to follow, but the main hall was under martial law. Just now, Lin You was with Miss Biao, and it was difficult for the servants to stop her. And she was a maid with a foreign surname. The servants outside the main hall naturally stopped her.

    When Lin You arrived outside the main hall, the second lady was already crying. Soon, the unconscious second lady was carried out, and Lin You slipped behind the pillars in the main hall. There are some things that attract people’s attention, and Lin You’s clothes are not eye-catching, so no one noticed her. The pillars blocked her figure, and Lin You secretly observed the development of things in front.

    The old man of the Xu family still has the face that is about to die, but at this moment, after all, his son is dead, and his face is naturally not as ugly as before.

    “What the hell is going on!” The servants were silent, and after a while, a servant jumped out from among the people standing on both sides, and said tremblingly:

    “Second, the second master had an accident and drowned.”

    “Accident?” The old man emphasized these two voices, “You just watch my son drown???”

    “Of course not, but, but…” The servant wanted to explain, but he didn’t dare to speak when he saw the old man’s face . A man came out of the line on both sides.

    He looks like a manager, but his appearance is very good. He looked like he was in his teens, he is just like a little girl in modern times, standing up and bowing his hands to the old man:

    “It’s the little three,  the little three didn’t take good care of the second master.” The steward simply admitted his mistake, and the old man’s eyes became more stern, and then the third steward said something that made the old man pale:

    “Second master has drowned alive in the washbasin.”

    “The washbasin?” the old man muttered.

    “The second master also said that he saw something. At that time, four or five of us wanted to help the second master remove the washbasin, but we couldn’t do it.” 

The old man didn’t say anything ridiculous at this moment, but was thinking about something. The eldest young master also stood up. He gritted his teeth and said:

    “The grandson also encountered such a thing, but…the grandson escaped.” Having said this, the eldest young master subconsciously thought of Lin You.

    Hearing his beloved eldest grandson say so, the old man immediately turned pale. After confirming that his grandson was not lying, the old man stomped the crutches in his hand fiercely,

    “All of you get out of here!”

    Hearing the old man’s words, everyone’s body was shaken. Those servants who followed the second master all went out, running and crawling away. Lin You was still hesitating whether to stay or not, but seeing those people leave, subconsciously she took a few steps back, got into the shadows, then squatted down and hid under the desk on the side.

    The tablecloth decorated with a tassel tightly blocked Lin You’s figure, and she was a little speechless. Come on, there is no need to hesitate, her body has already made a choice for herself.

    At this moment, those servants who were trembling and ashen-faced remembered that there was a young lady who didn’t come out. What’s more:

    “Zhi Li stay!” The old man didn’t plan to let him leave, and called his eldest grandson on purpose. Everyone retreated cleanly, and Lin You even heard the sound of the door being closed.

    Silence. The two were silent for a long time.

    “Zhi Li, why didn’t you tell me earlier?” The old man stood up tremblingly, refused the help of his eldest grandson, walked to the second master’s coffin, reached out and touched his face, tears welling in his eyes.

    “So what if you say it? Our Xu family is…” Before the eldest young master could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the old man.

    “What happened to our Xu family? Ah! Who are you right for saying that? Your father or your second uncle who died here?” The blood of the Xu family flows through me.”

    “I don’t dislike it, I just think…” The eldest young master planned to speak.

    “It’s not just!” Mr. Xu’s admonishment not only made the eldest young master of the Xu family uncomfortable, but also made Lin You uncomfortable.

    Can you let the eldest young master speak properly! No important news was heard.

    “Go and throw the corpse in the side yard.” The old man licked the corner of his mouth, “Let it continue to sleep, you know what to do.”

    Master Xu froze, then nodded silently.

    “Hey, you still know of propriety.” The old man turned around and put his hand on the shoulder of the young master Xu, “I know you are soft-hearted, but you have to think about the Xu family, your mother, your father  and your sister. In the future, this Xu family will still be alive. Isn’t it all for you? Huh?”

    Lin You naturally knew what happened to the so-called side-yard corpse, and it seemed that she was going to follow the eldest young master tonight.

    The grandfather and grandson continued to speak, but was interrupted by another person.

    “Father!”

    It was the second young master of the Xu family, and even… Lin You moved herself under the table again, and that guy Chen Cong came too.

    The next part was to comfort the second young master. Lin You didn’t watch it again, but just lowered her head to listen to those people perform. Soon, everyone was scattered, and even the second master’s coffin was carried back to the courtyard of the second room by the servants.

    Lin You crawled out from under the table, and after those people left, the place immediately became unpopulated. After finding that there was a plate of pastries that had been untouched on the table next to her, Lin You took a few pieces and ate them without hesitation.

    She almost starved to death, Lin You hardly ate much all day, except for a few cups of tea with the eldest lady in the morning.

    While eating, Lin You thought about the conversation between the old man and the young master just now. She knew that if she followed the eldest young master at night, she might have some advantages, but the key question was… First, she didn’t know where the eldest young master was now. Second, her safety.

    It would be nice to be able to meet Qu Zile and Zheng Buyan just like yesterday. Lin You was a little discouraged and stuffed the last bit of pastry into his mouth.

    “Three stewards, thank you today.”

    The young man with a beautiful face looked indifferently at the servant who was thanking him in front of him.

    “Oh Huo? What are you thanking me for?” The third steward opened his mouth with a frown on his hips.

    But the servant just continued to say gratefully:

    “Then I’ll go back first, my condolences about the second master.”

    This seemingly stylized conversation made the third steward turn around impatiently.

    If it wasn’t for a part of his body here, he wouldn’t have condescended to come to this low-level copy.

    So… the question is, where is his body part?

    The third steward touched his chin with his hand and began to think, why is this dungeon not like the previous dungeon, with his power leaking everywhere?

    It’s likely someone hid his body!

    So hateful! Is the system xx?

    A cold blade touched the neck of the third steward, and the third steward was stunned and turned around.

    He wants to see who is so reckless that he even dares to make a move.

    Chen Cong held a dagger in his hand and looked at the third steward in front of him. He should be the only one who knows about second master Xu, so… 

    “What happened to the second master? Tell me!” Chen Cong’s mouth twitched tightly, “Otherwise, just die. 

The third steward felt that the flesh on his neck was slashed open, and dark red blood flowed down little by little. After he saw who it was, he was strangely angry, and then said in a weak, helpless and pitiful voice:

    “I, I said! The Xu family, the Xu family was cursed by the girl, and she wants to take revenge on everyone in the Xu family!”
