Chapter 15: Making Clothes for Others
"So, the faceless female ghost that Xiaonu saw earlier was probably Mrs. Wei's transformed entity? When she appeared at that time, why didn't she harm Ruo Xi?" I suddenly recalled Xiaonu's strange encounter.
Longjing Gongzi laughed and said, "That little slave saw the faceless woman in the middle of the night because this block was newly formed and couldn't be controlled at will. It was summoned to practice its skills in this mysterious place, making preparations early on, and coincidentally encountered the little slave. There were also a few servant girls? The block had just been formed and didn't have the ability to harm people yet, so those people were able to narrowly escape disaster. Otherwise, they would have ended up like you, being entangled and having their yang energy devoured because of emitting human aura."
"Is it the aura of a living person? I also heard you mention it earlier, saying something about the aura of a living person being effective in every trial..." I suddenly realized: "Could it be that you already knew that Wei Furen had transformed into a block and was hiding inside that luxurious garment, and that's why you let Mei Cai go and lure her out?"
"Bait, bait!" The bright green parrot shouted again: "Foolish foreigners are angry, covering up to lure the enemy!" Business war godfather.
"It's indeed the case... I'm just like a worm on a fishhook, this thought is very unpleasant for me. However, after all, Mrs. Wei's current state has something to do with my sharp tongue, and since Dragon Well young master was able to subdue her in time, I didn't hurt anyone, so I can only swallow the discomfort in my stomach."
"Mantis catches cicada, yellow sparrow behind! Yellow sparrow behind!" The parrot went on and on, chirping incessantly.
Longjing Gongzi showed no shame in taking advantage of others, saying: "The silly fool actually has a bit of charm, it's truly delightful. Anyway, that piece of land is yours to harm, you go and lure it out, it's what everyone expects."
I raised an eyebrow and asked: "Why did that Wei lady's transformed blockhead have to be hidden in Ruo Creek young lady's room, instead of somewhere else?" My superior's mistress.
Longjing shook his head and replied: "Of course it was Ruoxi who provoked people's resentment, so she was asked to invite a midwife to take revenge."
I suddenly thought of the fine clothes that were being fought over by two girls, and hastily said: "Dragon Well's intention is, isn't it, to have a dispute with Ruoxi girl because of the golden pearl girl who was fighting for that fine clothes?"
Longjing nodded: "Who else can it be? As expected, this Jinzhu couldn't resist the temptation and took a risk to find the night nurse."
Longjing Gongzi seems to be all-knowing, so I might as well throw out all my doubts: "Longjing Gongzi, the reason for the two sisters' quarrel is entirely due to that unaccounted-for fine garment. Could it be that the garment also has some ulterior motive?"
Xiu Zhen System
"That's natural, it seems that the foolish child is indeed teachable." Longjing smiled and said: "This garment isn't an ordinary garment, it's a burial robe for the afterlife!"
"Is there really such a beautiful and luxurious funeral dress in the world?" I couldn't believe it.
"Hmph, your family is poor and has never seen anything good," Longjing said with a self-satisfied tone: "This is the stuff of people who died unjustly in ancient tombs, filled with resentment from being unable to live. Adding to that, this Smoke Rain Pavilion already has heavy yin energy, so the resentment attached to these funeral clothes is even more intense, which is why it's bewitching people's hearts and causing them to fight over it. In short, it's an inauspicious thing."
I recall the scene where Ruo Xi and Jin Zhu got into a big fight over this dress, it was indeed unusual. I couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that Old Lady had intentionally mixed this dress into Mr. Mo's belongings because someone would come to her for help..."
