The villain is too beautiful! The hero is in love again

Originally, I wanted to find someone to inquire about Meng Yanzhi's affairs, but the servants in the Meng Mansion were very secretive about matters related to the second young master and refused to talk about it.

They seemed to be deliberately hiding something, but the more they did so, the more Jiang Wanyi felt that things were getting more complicated.

But after being avoided for so long, he naturally kept his mouth shut and lived his life by the principle that less is worse than more.

With the imperial examination approaching, Jiang Wanyi became increasingly busy and unable to spare time.

The more you learn, the more addictive it becomes.

It's just that he really couldn't figure out the specific meaning of some things, and he didn't have a teacher to teach him.

Slowly it started to get difficult.

Therefore, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble and wasting his time, he could only try his best to avoid getting close to the strange mourning hall.

Since she left the Jiang family and married into the Meng family, Jiang Wanyi's suppressed temperament soon returned to its original state without anyone to control her.

He curls up on the couch every day like a lazy kitten, reading the book in his hand with relish.

"Madam Second Young Master, please enjoy your meal."

“Leave it alone for now.”

Jiang Wanyi waved his hand casually, looking at the book in his hand without even glancing at the maid who brought the meal.

His delicate brows were slightly furrowed, as there was something he didn't quite understand.

But Chunniang and the others were not around, and the Meng family could not invite a teacher to come for him, a widow who was having a ghost marriage.

If this continues, I will lose more and more confidence in the imperial examination...

Jiang Wanyi pursed his lips. Perhaps the servants in the Meng Mansion felt that it was unlucky and did not like to see a dying man like him.

Usually no one comes to Yanzhu, but the three meals a day are quite sumptuous and are served on time, and the food, clothing and other expenses are exactly the same as what Granny Liu said.

Jiang Wanyi had been weak since childhood due to hunger. In recent days, due to eating on time, his thin cheekbones have gained a little thin flesh.

There was no one watching around, and Jiang Wanyi, who was used to being alone, accepted it well.

He simply stayed indoors in Xuanji Pavilion, and when he occasionally went out, he would go to the yard to enjoy the scenery and bask in the sun.

Days passed by. Jiang Wanyi felt tired after reading all day, so he stretched his muscles and decided to go to the yard to get some fresh air.

It was sunny and breezy in Yanzhuli.

The fresh fragrance of purple bamboo wafts through my nostrils, and I feel physically and mentally relaxed for the first time in a long time, with all my worries reduced.

Jiang Wanyi walked slowly with light steps to the stone bench in the corner of the yard, sat down, tilted his head back and closed his eyes.

Enjoying a moment of tranquility under the afterglow of the summer sunset.

Suddenly, a few whispering voices coming from the rockery not far away instantly broke his thoughts.

"Hey~Have you heard? There's been a lot of haunting going on these past few days!"

"Do you think it's possible that our Second Young Master did all this?"

"It's very likely."

"Look, the young master only went out at night before he died. Have you ever seen him go out during the day?"

Several of Yan Zhu's servants were happy to have some free time because they didn't have to serve Jiang Wanyi.

They gathered in groups of three or four, and without prior agreement, they found a shady empty stone cave in the rockery, squatted down, and started talking about everything without restraint.

A servant rolled his eyes and thought about the signs in front of the second young master.

But the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't remember it, and it seemed as if I had never even seen the Second Young Master's appearance clearly.

All we know is that he is addicted to books, he keeps his days and nights reversed, and never goes out of the house all day.

Speaking of Jiang's love of books, it is surprisingly similar to the second young master's.

Seeing that he couldn't figure out what was going on, the servant could only talk about what he could remember.

"I don't think I've seen the Second Young Master say anything during the day."

"Yes, isn't that it!"

"Aren't mediums able to communicate between the yin and yang? Didn't you say before that the second young master was very satisfied with his new wife? Why is he still making a fuss every night?"

"The Second Young Master's behavior was very abnormal when he was alive. It seems normal for him to make such a fuss after his death."

"It's just a pity for Jiang. She looks like a fairy, but she has become a widow for the second young master at such a young age."

"And according to the rule that the deceased's wife cannot live past the age of twenty, she doesn't have much time!"

"pitiful"

“Who says it’s not?”

Several servants hid in the holes of the rockery, talking about their master's privacy without any hesitation.

Speaking of which, the second young master's previous living habits were really unbearable.

My days and nights are always reversed, and I have no fixed schedule.

As servants, they had to serve at all times and could not sleep peacefully.

I feel extremely sleepy every night, but I dare not close my eyes for fear of being discovered for dereliction of duty.

This kind of torture makes the servants serving Yan Zhuli live a life worse than death!

He Jin spat, then pulled out another wild grass root and put it in his mouth to chew.

"You don't know, when the Second Young Master was still around, he often had to ask for pen and ink in the middle of the night."

"I was so sleepy during the night shift that my vision was blurry and I could barely see the road."

"I almost fell into the pond at that moment. If I hadn't been lucky enough to grab a branch on the shore in time, I would have died."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm almost the same. It scares me every time. If it weren't for the sudden death of the Second Young Master, I really don't know how long I could have held on. I might have died long ago."

After hearing this, several other people echoed it, and their words were full of gloating and desire for relief.

They all thought that Meng Yan's death was a great thing.

Seeing that his topic was echoed by the others, He Jin became bolder. He glanced around mysteriously and lowered his voice.

"Did you all see the wedding day? I think the eldest young master and his new bride Jiang are a perfect match."

"I often see the young master coming to Yanzhu at night, what do you think..."

"He Jin, you are trying to save your life! You can't say that!"

A few gossiping servants and maids were listening with great interest.

The next second, when he mentioned Meng Hanzhi, they all fell silent, with fear on their faces, which was rare.

Jiang Wanyi, who had been listening to everything in the corner, did not expect that he would be framed in the gossip and his face turned pale.

Meng Yanzhi was twenty years old and had not yet married or taken a concubine, nor did he have a maid. All the servants who served him hoped he would die.

And the black iron coffin in the mourning hall that could not be reborn...

No wonder his obsession after death is to marry and spend the wedding night together...

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanyi pursed her pink lips slightly unnaturally.

Are there really such parents in the world?

When he turned around and thought of the even more indescribable Jiang's father, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

As both of them are wanderers in the world, his situation seems to be particularly similar to Meng Yanzhi's.

In the hot summer, this cave in the rockery and waterside pavilion is not exposed to the sun all year round and is very cool.

The servants gathered here were sure that no one would hear what was said here.

Even if the Second Lady heard it, it would be fine, after all, she was married into the family through a ghost marriage.

He has no power and influence, and the Meng family even dislikes him.

Who would have thought that Meng Hanzhi, who was in the topic of their conversation, appeared at the entrance of Yanzhu in broad daylight with his hands behind his back.
