Chapter 325 The Weird He Family
The woman was creeping out quietly.

Suddenly, she was pressed on the back and fell flat on the ground. She turned to look at the man behind her with horror on her face and begged.

"Please, let me go!"

Wu Xian looked at the woman curiously. She was wearing a green and white cheongsam, a furry shawl on her shoulders, a fair and delicate face, a slender and graceful figure, and various jewelry such as gold hairpins and jade bracelets...

"who are you?"

The woman shrank back: "My name is Du Rushi, and I'm the seventh young lady of the He family."

Wu Xian touched his chin and said, "Hey, there are many young masters in the He family. It seems that I am lucky. I can catch a useful one at random."

Du Rushi cried: "I'm useless!"

"No, no, no, you are very useful." Wu Xian showed a sly smile on his face, "As long as I use you as a hostage, I will have a bargaining chip to negotiate with the He family."

Du Rushi looked at Wu Xian, and the expression on her face slowly changed from horror to helplessness, self-mockery, and speechlessness.

"You can't use me to threaten the He family. You can only cause me to die with you."

From the woman's eyes.

Wu Xian could tell that what she said was true.

But this is strange. How could the identity of the Seventh Young Madam be unimportant at all?

Wu Xian looked up at the sky. The sun was about to set and it was getting dark.

He couldn't waste too much time here, so he asked Du Rushi to take him to the Sanxian Hall.

But when Du Rushi heard about the Sanxian Hall, she was like she had seen a ghost and refused to take Wu Xian there, as if there was something scary there.

Wu Xian could only threaten her with a telescopic stick, and she finally gave in in fear...

On the road.

Wu Xian asked many questions about the He family.

Du Rushi was reluctant to talk at first, but perhaps because no one had talked to her for a long time, she started to talk as we asked more questions.

In the Undead City, the He family holds a respected status.

Everyone thinks that as long as a woman marries into the He family, she will be happy and have a good life. Du Rushi also thought so at first.

But after marrying into the He family.

Only then did Du Rushi realize how weird and cold the He family was.

Even though she had been married into the He family for so long, she still knew nothing about this family.

All we know is that the He family has a master and a dozen young masters. The family has no branches. All the daughters of the He family have been married off, and all the young mistresses can only move around in a small area.

Even her husband seemed very strange to her.

She remembered her wedding day very clearly. She changed into her bright red wedding dress in the middle of the night and was led to the Sanxian Hall by someone. She married the Seventh Young Master in the presence of the Three Immortals.

During the entire wedding process, she did not feel any joy or shyness. Instead, she felt inexplicably scared and terrified and wanted to escape from the hall as quickly as possible.

The whole process, her head was covered with a red cloth, so she could only see other people's feet. What was a little strange was that the feet of the guests at the wedding seemed a little shaky, as if they were standing on tiptoes...

After the wedding.

Life is still weird.

Even after getting married, she still doesn't know what her husband looks like.

The Seventh Young Master would only visit her once every ten days or so, and each time he would come at night. The atmosphere was hazy, as if she were dreaming. When she woke up in the morning, she would feel extremely tired, as if her body had been hollowed out, and she would often have to rest for a few days before she could recover...

"This kind of life will drive people crazy!" Du Rushi soon turned the topic from herself to other people.

These dozen or so so-called "young mistresses" were like birds in a cage. They could only move around in certain areas of the He family. Their daily lives were taken care of by maids, but those maids were cold and only obeyed orders. They would not say anything intimate to them, so the young mistresses would usually leave the maids behind and have secret gatherings.

"The Third Young Madam was the first to lose her patience. She was almost going crazy from being suppressed. She felt that her husband was not a human being. She wanted to test him using a method she heard from an old man. She got some incense ash from somewhere and sprinkled it in front of the door when the Third Young Master came home at night..."

"After that...I haven't seen her since."

"Later I heard that she was driven out of the He family, drifted to a deserted village, and committed suicide by jumping into a well..."

Wu Xian's heart moved slightly.

The Third Young Lady she was talking about should be the female ghost they killed in Wuzang Village!

The more Du Rushi spoke, the colder she felt.

In the past, in order to protect herself, she always tried her best to comfort and hypnotize herself and not think about these things. But today, when she confided in Wu Xian, she felt more and more creepy.

She felt that every blade of grass and every tree in the He family was horrible, and that Wu Xian, the coercer who emerged from the earth, was safer than her husband...

So she subconsciously grabbed Wu Xian's clothes.

While Du Rushi was telling the story, Wu Xian was also observing everything happening in the He family.

The He family's house is very large, with an area comparable to that of a university campus, and the layout is like a maze. If Du Rushi hadn't led the way, it would have been difficult for him to find the Sanxian Auditorium quickly.

In addition, except for a few areas, most of the land in the He family has not been hardened. It is just muddy land that has been weeded. Many of the soils on the ground have traces of being turned over. Under those traces, there should be bodies buried...

On the way, they met many patrolling servants. These servants all had gloomy looks on their faces, and their steps were unsteady, leaving light footprints as they walked on the road.

Judging from Du Rushi's expression, these servants usually don't have a good face towards the "young ladies".

Walked for a while.

They finally arrived at the Sanxian Hall.

This auditorium is simply magnificent. It is a typical five-ridged, single-eaved, hip-and-gabled building, nine bays wide and five bays deep, 40 to 50 meters long and 20 to 30 meters wide. Including the platform, it is more than 20 meters high...

Wu Xian had only seen this kind of large wooden building in some temples before.

The auditorium was very spacious and everything inside could be seen at a glance. As soon as Wu Xian stepped in, he felt cold all over. This was definitely not a good place.

"Where is the coffin? Where are the coffin and the urn?"

Du Rushi asked in confusion: "Why are you looking for a coffin? It's unlucky. It's taboo to approach it rashly... But I did hear that the He family often has some 'safe' coffins, but that kind of thing can't be placed in the auditorium."

Wu Xian was silent.

This auditorium should be the mourning hall mentioned in the ordination certificate.

He thought the lost coffin and urn would be here, but he didn't expect there was nothing here. So how could he complete the proper funeral before twelve o'clock tonight?

Wu Xian's mood hit rock bottom and his train of thought suddenly stopped.

Just now.

Du Rushi suddenly exerted force on Wu Xian's arm.

Wu Xian frowned and saw that Du Rushi was looking towards the entrance of the auditorium with trembling body. Following her gaze, he saw two people walking towards them quickly!

One was a tall old woman who walked with great momentum.

The other was a maid who followed the old woman with her head lowered.
