When Gu Qing heard Uncle Zhang's description, he couldn't help but shudder.

She was familiar with all her cousins, and when she heard Uncle Zhang's words, the scene of them grabbing raw meat and tearing it apart emerged in her mind, and all the hairs on her body stood at attention and saluted.

"Miss Lu, this, this is not right?"

Gu Qing grabbed Lu Zhaoling's hand in panic and moved closer to her.

She felt scared standing here.

"There's something really wrong."

Lu Zhaoling patted the back of her hand gently and said, "So, I'll go in and take a look."

Uncle Zhang looked at her in surprise.

"My lady, I have already explained all the strange things clearly. Why do you still want to go in?"

Are girls nowadays so brave?

"Uncle Zhang, let me ask, after your master moved away, have the family members recovered?" Lu Zhaoling asked again, looking at Gu Qing at the same time, "Have you seen them recently?"

Uncle Zhang looked at Gu Qing and said, "I have been guarding here the whole time, but I haven't seen the Madam and the Young Master. The Master hasn't said whether they have finished yet."

"I met my uncle once recently. He went to see my dad. When I came back, he was about to leave. He looked very worried. I asked my dad what happened, but he said that children should not ask too many questions, so he didn't tell me."

Now that Gu Qing thought about it, she felt that her uncle must have encountered some big trouble and was probably going to her father for help or to make a decision.

Lu Zhao thought about it.

As for the Liu family, she still had to wait for Lord Lin Ronglin to investigate. It would probably be too hasty to identify the corpses, so she could take a look at the house first.

The main thing is that she really wants to buy this house.

After coming in, she felt that the house had a natural effect of gathering spirits, which was inadvertently created by its location, surrounding environment, and the locust tree.

But I don't know why the spiritual energy has been suppressed recently.

She had to go in and see what was going on.

She couldn't stay at home all the time, but those people in the Lu family were like maggots and fleas. It would be annoying if she always had to be on guard against them entering her room.

Moreover, when Lin Rong and Lord Chen want to find her, they will have to act under the eyes of the Lu family, which is indeed inconvenient.

She should have her own house.

"Miss Gu, let me take a look at this house, and then you can go back and ask your uncle if he needs my help."

She looked at Gu Qing, "You should have heard what Miss Sun said, right? If you encounter any strange, unusual, or unlucky things, you can come to me."

Gu Qing's heart skipped a beat. Although she was already surprised when she heard Sun Yingying say it, she was even more shocked when Lu Zhaoling said it herself.

"Then shall I take you around?" Gu Qing asked.

"Miss, you can't go in..." Uncle Zhang was shocked, "I can only stay in the front yard. I can't go to the back yard."

"It's okay as long as I'm here. But if Miss Gu is scared, I can go in by myself. I won't touch anything."

"I'll take you in."

Gu Qing took a deep breath and mustered up his courage.

Although she was really a little scared, she couldn't let Lu Zhaoling go in alone. What if there was any danger? It would be good to have more people to give her courage.

Uncle Zhang stamped his feet in frustration when he saw that he couldn't persuade them no matter what he did.

"I'll take you there."

He couldn't really let the girls in.

Uncle Zhang looked around, picked up the broom next to him that was already a little bald, and held it tightly, "Let's take a look at the hall first?"

Lu Zhaoling had no objection either.

As soon as he entered the hall, Lu Zhaoling felt that this house was really nice.

It’s so bright, the windows are bigger than those of ordinary houses, and the pillars, windows and floors are well maintained and clean.

This cleanliness made Lu Zhaoling feel more favorable towards the original owner of the house.

She is not a person with a broad mind. She always has some preconceived impressions about saving people. If she has a bad impression, it will be much more difficult to ask her to take action.

But on the wall opposite the door of the hall, there was a framed picture of a tiger descending the mountain. The tiger was painted very vividly, with fierce eyes, colorful fur, and a glossy and shiny feeling.

Lu Zhaoling's eyes swept over and fell on the tiger's claws. She didn't know whether the painter had mixed in inappropriate pigments or something when painting the claws. From her angle, the claws seemed to have some blood in them.

But when she looked closer, it looked like just a little pink.

The painting looked quite new, but it was hung a little high, so she couldn't feel whether there was any dust on it.

"Uncle Zhang, when was this painting hung up?"

"This painting?" Uncle Zhang thought for a moment, "It should have been hanging there for about half a year."

Half a year?

"Why is there a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain hanging in the front hall?" Lu Zhaoling asked again.

As they asked, they walked out of the front hall and headed towards the backyard.

Uncle Zhang also told them the origin of this painting.

"Originally, there was a picture of a pine tree and a crane hanging there. Didn't the master catch a cold several times half a year ago? It kept coming back and he never recovered. Madam, I don't know who told her that there was such a big locust tree planted at the gate, it was very gloomy, and there were roads all around the house, so the air was turbid from all the people coming and going, which was not good for the master's family."

"Madam asked for a solution, which was to hang a painting with a strong yang and domineering aura in the front hall, saying that it could suppress the pressure, so Madam spent some time and effort to buy such a painting."

Uncle Zhang said, "It's quite strange. The day after the painting was hung up, the master felt more energetic. He recovered from the typhoid fever in a few days and has not been sick for the past six months."

"I know about this. At that time, my mother said that my cousin was too weak and that he didn't get better after taking many medicines. She was thinking about whether she could ask the assistant doctor for help. But the assistant doctor refused to see the patient and said that he just had a cold. Then when winter comes, won't he, an old man, have to run around in the snow every day?"

Gu Qing remembered these words very clearly.

This is something that Fu Lao would really say.

However, the assistant doctor must have already started to have a headache at that time. He was not prepared to reveal it, but his body really could not support his medical consultations. During that time, he wanted to prepare for his own funeral, and he must have spoken very rudely to reject many patients.

"When the master wanted to sell this house, he also told me that if someone wanted to buy the house, I should explain the matter clearly to them. If they really wanted to buy it, the painting would be given as a gift, so it's best not to take it down," said Uncle Zhang.

Gu Qing suddenly thought of something. She looked at Lu Zhaoling and whispered, "Second Miss Lu, is that painting not good?"

She felt that Miss Lu would not be curious about a painting casually.

By this time, they had arrived at the backyard and stood in front of the east wing.

Lu Zhaoling looked around.

"We'll talk about the painting after we finish looking at the house."
