"Husband... what's wrong with you? Are you so pale?" Looking at Fu Youxing's ugly face, Shen Xixi whispered, hurriedly walked to him, held his shoulders, her little face was full of worry.

"It's okay. I accidentally knocked over the vase." Taking Shen Xixi's tender little hand, he walked to the chair and sat down. Fu Youxing spoke lightly to indicate that he was okay.

"That's good. I'll just ask the servant to come in and clean up later. Husband, don't worry. Let's try the snow lotus soup stewed by the servant." Pretending not to see Fu Youxing's deliberately embarrassed look, Shen Xixi curled her red lips and put her hands on The small porcelain white bowl was handed into his hand.

"Xi'er is interested, how are you, mother?" After tasting the sweet and delicious soup, Fu Youxing felt a little more relaxed physically and mentally, and his eyes looking at Shen Xixi became gentle.

It was very heartbreaking to think that someone had just come to report that the hidden pile that he had worked hard to bury for many years was uprooted overnight.

His father had been planning for many years. If he knew about this, he would definitely get angry. Looking at the gentle and lovely Shen Xixi in front of him, Fu Youxing's eyes deepened.

"Xi'er, I specially asked my mother to invite my third uncle's family to my lady's banquet in a few days. Apart from my father-in-law, my third uncle is your closest relative. You can also talk more with your relatives then."

Putting the soup cup aside, Fu Youxing took Shen Xixi's hand, his eyes full of love and care.

"Really? Thank you husband. Last time we met in Cui Mansion, Xi'er was very worried about her third uncle's family. When her father was around, she had the best relationship with her third uncle, and Xi'er also liked her third uncle's family the most."

Hugging Fu Youxing's arm happily, Shen Xixi's eyes sparkled, as if she couldn't believe that she could be reunited with her relatives.

"Fool, of course it's true. When my husband takes you back to see me when I have time, I should show my filial piety."

Enjoying the warm and fragrant nephrite at his side, Fu Youxing's lips raised high. Sure enough, the third child of the Shen family was the breakthrough.

"It's getting late, Xi'er won't disturb my husband's studies and will leave first."

Not wanting to talk to Fu Youxing anymore, Shen Xixi pretended to be shy and stood up, then left the study with a pretty face.

"Third Grandma...Third Grandma, hello!" As soon as he went out, he met Cui Qiao who was standing outside the door eavesdropping. She was unprepared and startled Shen Xixi.

"What are you doing?" After calming down, Shen Xixi looked at Cui Qiao across from her carefully. Since the last slap, Cui Qiao has become a lot more honest.

"It's okay, I'm just... I'm a little worried seeing that the third master hasn't come out for a long time." Cui Qiao bit her lip, lowered her head and replied in a low voice.

It has been a long time since I last got close to the third master. Finally, the third master came back early today and caught up with the third grandma to go to the main courtyard. She dressed up specially and wanted to have a good relationship with the third master.

But she didn't expect that the third master's face was particularly gloomy today. Within a second of her entering, she was kicked out with a dark face.

After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't dare to knock on the door again. Just as she was about to go back to her room, she saw the third grandma coming over with a soup cup. She thought that the third grandma would be scolded, so she waited at the door to see the joke, but instead, What a huge disappointment.

"Oh? Really? You are really thoughtful." Looking at Cui Qiao's fresh goose-yellow skirt, Shen Xixi chuckled slightly, staggered out of the study door, and made way for Cui Qiao.

Seeing her lingering, the smile on her lips widened, and then she left gracefully.

She ignored the malice in Cui Qiao's eyes and wanted to see what big move this girl had waiting for her.

"Farewell to Third Grandma." Looking at Shen Xixi's leaving figure, Cui Qiao's eyes were red, and her slender fingers slowly touched her flat belly.

In the evening, because his father-in-law had something to do, Fu Youxing did not go back to his room to rest. He sent a servant to report that he was sleeping in the study room in the front yard and told Shen Xixi to go to bed early.

After answering, Shen Xixi took a shower and changed clothes, then went to bed early.

Early the next morning, when she came back yesterday, she and Li Wanrou had already taken leave. Early in the morning, Shen Xixi left the Hou Mansion in a carriage and set off for Pin Yuxuan.

When they arrived at Pinyuxuan, they sent the coachman to rest. Shen Xixi stood at the door, took a deep breath and walked into the store.

When she arrived at the store, the boss took her upstairs with ease, opened the secret passage, and let her in.

Seeing that she was the only one walking into the secret passage, confusion flashed across Shen Xixi's face, and she looked at the boss behind her in confusion.

"Shan Gui ordered Madam Shen to go in alone." Seeing the confusion in her eyes, the shop owner smiled slightly and explained unhurriedly.

"Thank you." Nodding, Shen Xixi took the lamp from the shop owner's hand and walked slowly along the long, dark corridor.

Half an hour later, when she saw the familiar stone door, Shen Xixi stopped, groped on the wall for the mechanism that opened the stone door, and pressed it.

Immediately afterwards, the stone door opened with a "bang", and with a gust of breeze, the lamp in Shen Xixi's hand went out.

"Miss Shen, you are on time."

In the darkness, a cold voice slowly sounded, and the stunning eyes fell on Shen Xixi again.

"When making a deal with mountain ghosts, punctuality is the most basic thing." Ignoring the scrutinizing eyes on her, Shen Xixi put the lamp in her hand at her feet. After adapting to the darkness in front of her, she saw the slender figure not far away. figure.

"Haha, Miss Shen is so spirited." A cold light flashed, and a palm-sized black token fell impartially into Shen Xixi's arms, with a hint of coolness that penetrated the thin summer clothes and reached her heart.

"Mountain Ghost really keeps his word." Shen Xixi held the fake Black Iron Token in her arms with admiration in her eyes. The texture, weight, and material of the token in her hand were all the same as the real token.

"Miss Shen, don't be too busy complimenting me. Where is your information? If the information dissatisfies me, this place... will be your tomb." After a cold snort, Shen Xixi was keenly aware that the gaze on her changed. It's very light, very light, but very dangerous.

"Thirty miles away from the capital, there is a village, Hejia Village. He Ergou from Hejia Village has a silly wife in his family. She is the person you are looking for."

Knowing what the other party was waiting for, Shen Xixi did not show off and told the ghost mother's whereabouts directly.

When he was imprisoned in a secret prison in his previous life, he heard Fu Youxing talk about the ghost mother. At that time, the mountain ghost had already found out the ghost mother's location and made contact with the Fu family.

Fu Youxing suffered a heavy blow and was very angry. He was extremely ruthless when he forced her to confess. He told her about it while swearing, and Shen Xixi remembered it in her heart.

It wasn't until she left the secret room that Shen Xixi's stiff limbs slowly recovered. After just telling the news about the ghost mother, the mountain ghost remained silent and made her wait for a long time.

Feeling the colder and colder breath on the other party's body, Shen Xixi's heart gradually became colder. Just when she thought she would not escape today, the stone door behind her was pushed open by the opponent's palm.

She was also sent back into the secret passage by Zhang Feng until the stone door was tightly closed and the figure inside completely disappeared.

There was only a low sigh left in the air...
