Chapter 332 Wen Chao's Request

The fifth young lady’s name is Ma Xiaowan.

She has been well-read since childhood and is famous for her talent and beauty in the Immortal City. It is very natural for such a talented girl to marry into the He family in the Immortal City.

But at this time.

The situation of this talented woman was not good. She was pinned to the bed and unable to move.

Wu Xian covered her mouth and Du E pressed her legs, and the two of them worked together to control her.

"Don't scream!"

"Ah... don't bite it, it will attract ghosts!"

"We two are not good people, but at least we are still human. You don't have to be so scared..."

After Wu Xian and his companion came out of the mass grave, they happened to appear in the Fifth Young Lady's room. In order not to attract the servants, they could only subdue Ma Xiaowan first.

The two of them had to persuade Ma Xiaowan to agree to stop making noise.

As a result, I let go of my hand.

Ma Xiaowan took an awl and pressed it against her throat, as if she was going to commit suicide if she disagreed with him.

Wu Xian sighed.

The two of them had just returned from the mass grave and had a lot of information to exchange. They had originally wanted to discuss it in the Fifth Young Lady's boudoir, but seeing Ma Xiaowan's terrified look, it would be better to change the place.

"Do you know which room Du Rushi lives in? We are her friends..."

crunch...

The door is closed.

Ma Xiaowan leaned against the door, her heart pounding.

As her breathing gradually became steady, Ma Xiaowan began to regret. She had thought the two men were flower thieves, but she had not expected that after she gave them the address, they would actually leave.

This is enough to prove that they have no ill intentions.

And in the He family.

It is so difficult to meet someone who has no bad intentions.

"Ma Xiaowan, Ma Xiaowan, why are you so stupid? Maybe those two people can rescue you from this devil's cave. It's too late to say anything now..."

Despite the regrets.

But Ma Xiaowan didn't dare to chase after him because it was already night.

She had just walked away from the door when she heard a knock on it.

"Are they back?"

"Yes, it must be them. Although there are no moonlight monsters at He's house at night, they can't move around freely!"

Ma Xiaowan opened the door with great anticipation, only to find that the people standing at the door were not Wu Xian and Du E as she expected, but a well-mannered old man and a woman wearing a veiled hat.

With the lesson from last time.

Ma Xiaowan did not reject the two people immediately, but had a tentative conversation with them.

As they chatted, she realized that these two people were in the same group as the young man and woman before. They came to the He family for a proper funeral and they were good people.

So she enthusiastically invited the two of them into the room.

During the conversation, Ma Xiaowan was shocked by Wen Chao's erudition. It was the first time she met such a person.

Wen Chao also had a good impression of Ma Xiaowan. Jiang Chun only looked somewhat similar to his wife, but Ma Xiaowan's well-read temperament was exactly the same as his wife's.

So he asked Ma Xiaowan: "Can you do me a favor?"

Ma Xiaowan needed help, so she nodded and said, "Sir, please tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely help you."

“My wife and I have a very good relationship…”

Wen Chao began to tell Ma Xiaowan the story of his wife. Ma Xiaowan was very moved by their relationship. At the end of the topic, Wen Chao sighed. "When my wife died, I did something wrong. This matter has always been a thorn in my heart. I really want to know whether she will hate me or forgive me, so I want to consult you."

Ma Xiaowan wiped her eyes and said, "You and Madam have such a deep relationship. No matter what you did wrong, she will probably forgive you."

Wen Chao breathed a sigh of relief: "Is that so? Then you will forgive me, right..."

……

The rain gradually subsided.

Wu Xian and his companion walked carefully in the mud and soon found Du Rushi's boudoir.

The He family's nights are even safer than the daytime. There are no moonlight monsters here, and because of the visibility problems, it is more difficult for the servants to spot them.

When Du Rushi knew that it was Wu Xian and the other man who came, she was extremely happy and welcomed them in warmly.

The room was very clean and had a light fragrance. Since the male owner only came once in a long time, the room was decorated according to Du Rushi's preferences.

Such an environment makes it easy for people to relax. Wu Xian and the other man wiped the rain off their bodies and began to talk about their discoveries in the mass grave.

Wu Xian wiped his hair with Du Rushi's towel. Because of the rain, his explosive curls were finally suppressed.

"We need to change our approach. We can't just steal things from graves anymore. I don't want to be thought of as a thief again."

When the sickly man shouted to catch the thief, it was definitely one of the most embarrassing moments in Wu Xian's life.

Wu Xian continued.

"From what I've observed, the door of the thatched house looks like a tombstone. We should be able to go directly into the room through the tombstone, so we won't attract all the ghosts around."

"Also, there is order there. Although our actions are restricted, this is not necessarily a bad thing, because we can also take advantage of the order, such as asking directly and making public transactions!"

Du E nodded and added: "Yes, we can also coerce, kidnap, and bribe. Aren't there 'officials' there? We can put a spell on the 'officials' and directly control them to help us find things."

Wu Xian twitched the corner of his mouth. Du E's thoughts were still as dark as usual.

but……

So fine.

Du Rushi was listening with confusion in her eyes. She couldn't understand what the two were discussing, and... it seemed like something bad people were doing.

Du E paused.

"No matter what we do next, there is one thing that must be resolved in advance, and that is the time we enter the mass grave. If we don't figure out the time, no matter what we do, we will not be at ease."

This time they got out of trouble because they arrived on time, but next time they may miss the opportunity because they ran out of time.

Wu Xian laughed and said, "Don't worry about that. It should take 20 minutes. The error won't be too big. We can just make plans based on this time."

Du E was surprised: "How did you know?"

"Calculate."

Wu Xian raised his chin proudly.

"Since I entered the mass grave, I have been subconsciously counting the time. I count silently in my mind and tick my fingers every time a minute passes."

"Of course, there were some interferences in the middle, so this statistic is not very accurate."

“But the error won’t be too big.”

This is a skill that Wu Xian has only recently mastered. Since he cannot bring the clock into the blessed land, he might as well turn himself into a human-shaped clock.

With this time, the two's exploration of the mass grave will be much smoother.

Just now.

The three people in the room suddenly heard a knock on the door...

At this time, who would be knocking on Du Rushi's door?
