"What? How dare she, Cui Qiao? That's outrageous, even the third brother...how could this happen?" When she heard that Fu Youxing went to find that dead girl Cui Qiao again, Fu Mingzhu became furious and slapped the table.

"Third sister, don't be angry. It's just that you're so angry."

"Third sister-in-law, you are also the third brother, so you should give me some advice. Cuiqiao is nothing. It is a frivolous thing that cannot be put on the table. The third brother cannot marry a prostitute and pamper a despicable thing. Then our Hou family will still lose face. To the other side?"

Seeing Shen Xixi's helpless look, Fu Mingzhu was even more upset. She felt more and more that Shen Xixi was useless and had no dignity at all. She did not realize that such words were not what she, a sister-in-law, should say. .

"What the fifth sister said is true, but... my husband likes it, and I... can only let him go." Shen Xixi was not surprised by Fu Mingzhu's words. She knew from her previous life that Fu Mingzhu, and even the entire Fu family, were fighting. I despise her in my heart.

"Forget it, I'm sorry you don't dare. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Seeing that Shen Xixi had no fighting spirit, Fu Mingzhu stopped talking nonsense and got up directly with the maid, ignoring Shen Xixi who was "sad alone" behind him.

Looking at her proud peacock-like back, the smile in Shen Xixi's eyes gradually turned cold. Fu Mingzhu, the youngest son who was married to Cheng En by Fu Minghe in his previous life, contributed to Fu Minghe's great cause.

This time, as her good sister-in-law, she will definitely get her wish and the lovers will finally get married.

Early the next morning, Shen Xixi came to Rongan Hall early and told Li Wanrou about going to Pinyuxuan. After getting permission, she took Yin Shuang to Pinyuxuan.

Arriving at the door of Pinyuxuan, Shen Xixi took Yin Shuang away on the pretext of wanting to eat Linpu's dim sum and entered the store alone.

"My lady, please come inside. Your hairpin is in the back room. Please come and inspect the goods with me." When the boss saw Shen Xixi, there was no trace of surprise on his face. He led her to Pinyuxuan's back room with a smile on his face.

After going upstairs, the boss walked to a mural and pressed the switch. A long corridor appeared behind the wall. He picked up a lamp on the side and lit it. The boss led Shen Xixi into it.

Following the shop owner, Shen Xixi looked at the uneven wall by the light of the fire. After an unknown amount of time, a stone door appeared. The boss turned around and said, "Little lady, the 'Mountain Ghost' is inside, please."

Nodding to Shen Xixi, the boss left without looking back.

"...Thank you."

Looking at the stone door in front of her, Shen Xixi took a deep breath, slowly stretched out her palm and pushed forward, revealing the dark and quiet dark room inside.

Stepping into the dark room with both feet, the stone door behind her slowly closed. Shen Xixi looked as usual, not at all as weak as a boudoir girl facing the darkness. After being imprisoned in her previous life, she was often locked in a dark room, and she was already used to it.

"I heard... you were looking for me?" Not far away, a low and hoarse voice sounded faintly in the darkness, with a bone-chilling chill.

"That's right." Without any timidity, Shen Xixi looked into the eyes observing her in the darkness, her eyes were calm but very determined.

"What's the matter?"

"Make me a token." Without any nonsense, Shen Xixi took out the black iron token she drew last night from her sleeve and handed it to the man in the distance.

"Xuan Iron Token? Miss, do you know that this token is made of ten thousand years of cold iron, and there is only one piece in the world? What do you want me to do?"

After seeing the image on the paper clearly, the mountain ghost in the darkness sneered.

"I know, and I know you can do it." Shen Xixi lowered her eyes and chuckled, her words firm.

"Okay, as you said, why should I help you? What can you give me?"

Seeing the girl's face full of determination, Shangui waved his hand, and a stone stool was pushed to Shen Xixi's feet.

"I can promise you... to help you find the 'Ghost Mother'..."

"What else do you know..." Before she could finish her words, a sharp palm wind flew past Shen Xixi's cheek and hit the stone door behind her, leaving a deep palm mark on the hard rock. .

"I know that you have been looking for the 'Ghost Mother' and I know where she is. As long as you help me, I will tell you." Clenching her hands tightly, Shen Xixi put forward her conditions.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll pick it up in three days." Looking at her increasingly pale cheeks, the mountain ghost sighed softly, waved his palm lightly, and an oil lamp was slowly lit.

The stone door behind him opened in response. The mountain ghost turned his back and stood with his hands behind his back, and directly issued an order to expel the guests.

"..." Holding the oil lamp in her hand, Shen Xixi turned around and glanced at the man in the shadow.

The firelight in his hand lengthened the man's back, and the black robe merged with the darkness, slightly revealing the side face. The smooth skin shone brightly in the darkness, and the terrifying Shura mask on the bridge of his nose covered everything about him.

When they came out of the secret passage, the boss was already waiting in the room, holding a small and exquisite brocade box in his hand, which he handed to Shen Xixi.

"This..." Looking at the crystal-clear carved hairpin in the brocade box, Shen Xixi was a little confused.

"This is for you from 'Mountain Ghost'." Smiling at her, the boss put the brocade box into Shen Xixi's hands, turned around and took her downstairs.

Downstairs, Yin Shuang was waiting in front of the carriage with two oil paper parcels in her hands. When she saw Shen Xixi coming out, she helped her get on the carriage.

Back at Qiushui Pavilion, it was still early. After lunch, Shen Xixi was leaning on the Babu bed, holding the carved jade hairpin in her hand, looking at it quietly.

She always felt that something had been forgotten by her.

Suddenly, with a flash in his eyes, Shen Xixi's mind gradually became clear, and she finally understood what the great cause that Fu Minghe had been talking about all his life was.

"Yinshuang, I want to sleep for a while. Don't disturb me when you see them." After looking at Yinshuang who was embroidering in the yard, Shen Xixi spoke lightly and closed the door.

"Okay Third Grandma." After hearing this, Yin Shuang, who was studying the patterns, raised her head and asked everyone to be gentle, and then returned her attention to the embroidery in her hands.

Behind Qiushui Pavilion, at the corner gate of Xiyuan, the summer noon sun is very fierce. The old lady who looks after the door is sitting in the gatehouse, with her head drooped and her eyes closed, sleeping soundly. On the poplar tree, cicadas are screaming. joyous.

A black figure appeared quietly and glanced at the sleeping grandma. He held a handkerchief in his plain white hand and placed it under the old grandma's nose. As he breathed in, all the powder on the handkerchief was inhaled.

After a while, the old nun, the concierge, tilted her head and fell down at the concierge, completely falling asleep.

She took the key from her waist, opened the corner door, and looked at the deserted street. Shen Xixi walked out of the corner door and walked towards the end of the long street.

After a stick of incense, a man wearing a black curtain appeared in the hall in Zuiyin Tower.

"Hey, whose wife is this? Why do you come to my Zuiyin House?" It was noon, and most of the girls were still sleeping. The sleepy-eyed madam came out shaking her fan and saw a black widow-like figure. People were startled.

Her Zuiyin Building has always been a place for men to have fun, and women come and go looking for trouble!

"I'm looking for the red silk." Ignoring the Madam's mocking tone, Shen Xixi took out a banknote from her waist, raised her hand and threw it into the Madam's chest.

"Okay, okay, madam, please wait a moment, I will make arrangements right now..." Looking at the numbers on the banknote, the madam smiled like a flower, her attitude towards Shen Xixi completely changed, and she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Shen Xixi's hand. Hand, lead her upstairs.

"Madam, this Hung Hom is a hustler. Look..." Thinking of what the man had told him, the old madam paused and turned around to look at the woman in black with some embarrassment. A special hobby?

"Don't worry, I'm just chatting with Hong Xiao." Regarding the Madam's speculation, Shen Xixi said calmly, dispelling her doubts.

"Okay!" After receiving the assurance, the madam fell in love with Yan Kai again, knowing that the banknote she had just received was kept.

"Wait a moment, the red ribbon will be here soon~" After a while, Shen Xixi was invited to a fresh and elegant room, with dishes, drinks, and exquisite snacks placed on the table.

Instructing the Madam and others to leave, Shen Xixi sat on the soft stool and waited quietly.

"My lord, you have been waiting for a long time!" After a while, the door was gently pushed open, and a girl wearing a shark gauze stood at the door. Her voice was clear and melodious, like a warbler's cry, and her eyes were like water. She looked at the room and sat quietly with affection. noble person.
