Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 393 Mrs. Guo’s Rebuke

The old lady had a serious expression on her face, and her scrutinizing eyes did not hold much kindness.

The old lady snorted coldly, and immediately there were many gloating looks around.

"It seems you've had a good time these past few years in Qingzhou. According to Steward Chen, you had a benefactor who helped you recover from your illness and provided you with food and clothing. Could you please tell me what kind of benefactor was this? He's so kind and generous, and you're a secluded young lady, how did you get to know him without reflecting on yourself?"

The old lady's eyes were sharp and her face showed obvious displeasure. After all, if a young lady was involved with an outsider, would the Guo family lose its reputation if this got out?

Hearing the question, Hongdou at the back lowered her head, feeling terrified that the truth would be revealed and she would be implicated.

Si He looked at the old lady sitting in the main seat calmly and replied, "Grandmother, a while ago, my granddaughter was seriously ill. After seeking medical treatment in vain, I, Hongdou, happened to meet a kind-hearted quack doctor. Perhaps he felt sorry for my granddaughter, so he not only cured her illness but also left her some money to get by. Otherwise, my granddaughter would have died of illness or starvation long ago."

She spoke calmly, but there was a hint of complaint in her words, which was consistent with the emotions of a concubine's daughter who had been abandoned for many years.

She behaved decently and was not overly angry. If it were Guo Jiaqu himself, he might have been filled with resentment. After all, Guo Jiaqu died unwillingly and with resentment.

But now 'Guo Jia Qu' is living well, so he naturally cannot show too much resentment, otherwise his life will be difficult.

When Manager Chen heard her words, he suddenly felt a little panic. After all, it was true that he had people deduct her monthly supply of money and food, but he dared to do so not only because he saw that she was unpopular and abandoned, but also because of the consent of some people in the Guo family. That was why he dared to do such an excessive thing before.

As expected, the old lady didn't blame Manager Chen, but only said to her sternly: "Humph~ I asked you to reflect on your actions in Qingzhou, not to let you enjoy yourself..."

The old lady had barely finished her words when a servant came hurriedly outside, "Old lady, something terrible has happened! The Fifth Young Master has been arrested by the police!"

"What?!" The old lady stood up in panic.

The head of the household, Madam Guo, was also extremely shocked. Upon hearing that her son had been arrested, she could no longer sit still. She stood up and quickly asked, "Please explain clearly, how did Feng'er get arrested by the police?"

The servant cried in a somewhat embarrassed voice, "The Fifth Young Master had an argument with the son of the Zhu family. In a fit of rage, he resorted to violence and accidentally injured the son of Lord Yang, so he was arrested by the police."

"Then what do you do for a living? Why don't you stop me?"

Mrs. Guo was extremely angry and yelled loudly. If there weren't so many people here, she might have thrown a cup at them.

For a moment, everyone in the hall was a little panicked because of this matter and had no time to pay attention to Si He. The old lady just had someone take her away and arranged for her to live in a small courtyard first.

Si He calmly followed the servants into the depths of the house, with Hongdou following closely behind.

The Guo family mansion is very large and beautifully and luxuriously built. There are pavilions and towers everywhere. There is a new scene at every step. The scenery is superb. It is worthy of being the richest family in Zhongzhou.

The two maids took her and Hongdou around and around until they arrived at a remote courtyard.

Although this yard has been renovated and there are no weeds, and the house is relatively new, it still looks pretty good, at least much better than the small house in Aoki Castle. But inexplicably, this yard exudes a sense of desolation. Since stepping in here, I have felt chilly and uncomfortable.

"This is Qingyin Courtyard, Miss Nine's residence. If Miss Nine needs anything, please tell this servant. This servant will call Bilian."

"My servant Bizhu."

The two maids seemed to be very respectful, but in fact they did not take her seriously. After all, from the old lady's attitude just now, they knew that she was just an unfavored concubine's daughter.

So when the two maids arrived at the yard, they just stood guard at the gate and had no intention of serving closely.

Si He didn't care, it made her feel more relaxed this way.

Hongdou, on the other hand, was immediately disappointed after the courtyard gate was closed and no outsiders were around. Although she had expected that her 'master' might not be welcomed after returning to the Guo family, she did not expect him to be so unwelcome. Her good looks did not help at all, and she was scolded as soon as she entered the mansion.

If the previous Guo Jiaqu came back, the situation would probably be even worse.

When I walked into the house, I found that everything was available, but it looked a little old. Some places were even covered with a layer of dust. It was obvious that the servants had not been careful.

Si He walked to the bed. Fortunately, the bedding was new, clean and had no smell.

She turned to Hongdou and said, "You go out first. I'll rest for a while."

Hongdou nodded in agreement, put down her bag, and left the room.

After a bumpy ride, not only Si He was a little tired, but Hongdou was also very exhausted, especially in this situation. However, since she had just arrived, she couldn't leave the yard at will, so she had to go to the house next door to rest for a while.

When Si He was the only one left in the room, she sat down on the edge of the bed, looked around the room, and finally her eyes stopped on a beam in front of her.

This is a tomb, so the house is filled with a faint yin energy. However, there must have been a ritual there before, so the yin energy is not that heavy, and there doesn't look anything unusual here.

When ordinary people walk into this house, they will at most feel a little cold.

But when she walked into the room, Si He felt something strange. The yin energy in the room was particularly heavy, especially on the beams.

Perhaps, someone had died on this beam before, and the resentment must be quite heavy. Even after the ritual was performed, some resentment still remained.

Si He narrowed her eyes and looked at the beam quietly. After a while, she took out a piece of talisman paper and waved her palm towards the sky above the beam.

The talisman paper floated towards the beam with a strong wind. When it was almost in the air, the runes on the talisman paper suddenly lit up with a faint light, and a low humming sound was faintly heard in the air, like the sound of wind blowing.

At the same time, Si He felt the negative energy from the beams spreading around.

After a while, the talisman paper gently fell to the ground, and the light on the rune gradually dimmed.

In this situation, the former ghost was beaten to the point of being almost torn to pieces, and perhaps something went wrong at that time, which is why this little bit of soul was retained.

After a while, the scattered yin energy slowly began to gather again. It was invisible to the naked eye, but she could feel it.

Si He looked coldly at the empty space under the beams. The yin energy there had slowly condensed into a ball. Although she still couldn't see anything, she suddenly heard a low pleading voice, "Please, please, let me go..."
