He suddenly appeared behind me and yawned, "What are you doing here so early?"

"Are you talking to me?" I turned around and looked at He Zunyi. He didn't look as good as he did yesterday.

"Yeah, who else do you think I'm talking to?" He Zhiyi looked at me with an abnormal expression. "What's wrong with you?"

"Last night I saw a woman in a red robe standing in the yard embroidering a handkerchief, but I could not see what she was. She was neither a ghost nor a spirit." I sat here for two or three hours with no idea what to do.

He Wenyi wiped his face with his hand, "This isn't the first time. Sometimes she even sings in the house, and when the chickens chirp, they disappear without a trace."

"That's what you mean by weird." I asked back,

"Is there anything weirder than this? People do see it, but they don't have souls. It's just like air, we can't catch them even if we wanted to. " He Zhiyi started to have a headache. If he wasn't unable to capture him, he wouldn't have come looking for me.

"I've been sitting here for a few hours and I can't feel even the slightest bit of Yin Qi."

Ever since that woman left, I sat here and didn't return to my room. However, my mind wasn't solely focused on that woman, nor Yan Tan Mo.

The more I thought about it, the more confused I became. It wasn't until dawn arrived that I finally felt better.

"Alright, it's getting late. If you have nothing else to do, come and help me get some breakfast. Uncle Li drank too much last night."

He Yi stretched out his hand to pull me out of my chair. My heart skipped a beat and I quickly dodged it, making him feel a little awkward.

I hastily replied, "My legs were numb earlier. I'm sorry!"

"It doesn't matter!" He Wenyi smiled, his probing gaze fixed on my face. "Qiu Fei, are you possessed?"

I was a little surprised. "Why do you ask?"

"I always thought you were weird today." He looked at me for a long time before he muttered this.

Listening to He Shuyi's words, I finally felt enlightened. All of the foul air on my body had disappeared, and looking at He Zhiyi now, he seemed to have become much more pleasing to the eye.

"I don't know. Ever since I saw that woman, I've always been in a trance."

He Wenyi frowned as a habit, "I don't feel like that woman can charm people."

I silently read the words to and fro as my heart was as calm as still water.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it!"

The morning meal was very simple. Everyone had a bowl of green vegetable and egg noodles. Uncle Li left after eating. Zhong Min probably hadn't woken up yet, so she just randomly ate breakfast and went back to sleep.

I sat under the red toon tree and looked at He Hanqing who was moving the firewood around like an ant. I thought that one day, would Yan Tan Mo abandon her identity to live such a plain life with me, give birth to a daughter, and plant a red toon tree …

"Pa!" A firewood flew to my feet, interrupting my beautiful dream.

He Zhiyi had an evil grin on his face. "Imperial Concubine Qiu, you've been stunned for a few hours. You should wake up now!"

"Are you trying to scare me to death?" I patted my chest.

"Are you longing for spring?" Zhong Min suddenly appeared behind me.

"When did you get up?" I looked at Zhong Min, who was still nibbling on her cucumber. "Do you want to scare me to death this early in the morning?"

Zhong Min looked at me from behind. "Fei, your dark circles are quite heavy!"

"I haven't slept since four in the morning."

"Why?" Zhong Min was also sitting beside me on a small stool. "Didn't you sleep early last night?"

I sighed. "I slept rather early. When I woke up in the morning, I wouldn't be able to sleep."

He turned to look at me and said nothing.

"I'm going to pick some vegetables to cook. Just you guys wait!" Zhong Min was in high spirits. She reached out to touch the red toon tree as she walked past it.

He Wenyi put down the firewood and came over with a displeased look on his face. "Why didn't you tell Zhong Min that you met a ghost lady last night?"

"It might not be a female ghost right now. If you tell her, she'll probably wake up in the middle of the night to take a look. When we fall asleep, it wouldn't be good to injure her."

Only then did He Wenyi let go of his worries. "You're right, she will know sooner or later."

"It won't be too late to tell her when we find a way to take her in."

Actually, I also have a small intention. Although the ghost lady last night didn't have any ill intentions, I still feel that something is amiss.

We'll see if we can meet her tonight.

After a while, Zhong Min ran back, out of breath. "He Yi, Uncle Li is arguing with someone in the field."

He went out the door in a hurry, and I followed after Zhong Min. "What's going on?"

Zhong Min became a little anxious. "I don't know either. I heard it from someone else when I was picking the vegetables."

Following Zhong Min, we quickly arrived at a field not far from the courtyard.

Uncle Li was sitting on Tian Gou with his head down, not saying a word. On the other side, a woman about his age stood by the side and pointed at Uncle Li while crying and cursing at the same time.

"Your family is a calamity. If not, then my daughter wouldn't be able to break the engagement. It's all because of you!"

"Aunt Chen, you can't say it like that. How could your Ernie's marriage go to Uncle Li?" He Yi could not bear to see this, so he tried to defend Uncle Li.

It seemed like he was used to it, but Zhong Min and I were really confused.

What was going on?

"Beside your Uncle Li's family, whose family's daughter ended up well? Dead or dead? Married? Those who didn't get married also didn't get married. Tell me, if your Uncle Li's family isn't a disaster, then what is it?"

The surrounding people were all whispering to each other. A few of the aunties were also angry, seeming to agree with what Ernie's mother had just said.

"Aunt Chen, what time is it? Are you still talking about feudal superstitions?"

Another man, who usually had a better relationship with Uncle Li, said.

This sentence infuriated Ma Ni. She jumped up, pointed at the man and said, "Could it be that your family doesn't have any girls, so let's make sarcastic remarks here? Isn't your daughter-in-law a woman? Beware of the end of the day, and leave tomorrow! "

The man was so angry that his face and neck turned red, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Er Ni, your mouth is too harsh. No wonder your daughter wants to end the engagement." The man's wife came from who knows where and pointed at Ernie's mother.

She had just married her son's new wife, so how could she expect to have a grandson next year?

The moment he heard what Ernie's mother said, he almost exploded in anger.

"Look at that new wife, she's leaving in two days." Second Mother repeated.

"You shameless woman!"

That man's wife rushed forward to hit Ernie's mom, but Ernie's mom dodged and hid behind my back. She used me as a meat shield, causing her arm to hurt from being grabbed by Ernie's mom.

"Alright!" Stop arguing! " Uncle Li sat up abruptly and roared.

I looked at Uncle Li who was usually smiling, but now his eyes were red.

"After tonight, I will move out. All of you, stop arguing!" Having said this, Uncle Li carried the hoe and walked back.

Ernie's mother was still holding onto my arm and didn't dare to do it. She asked happily, "Really, is Li Guangzhu really going to move away?"

A woman replied, "Yes!"

"I wonder if my Ernie's marriage will be successful or not." Ernie's mother looked worried.

The aunt said, "Er Ni, are you going to let go of that girl's arm?"

She was still holding my arm!

He hastily smiled back, "Aiyo, I'm really sorry!"

I smiled. "That's all right."

He Wenyi probably saw that Ernie's mother was scolding Uncle Li, so he didn't give her any face. He directly said to me, "Let's go. Let's head back first."

"He family's brat, are you saying that your Uncle Li's family has a ghost?"

He Zhiyi stared at her, "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't Uncle Wang clearly explain it earlier?" "It's already established, yet it's still so feudal and superstitious."

"I'm not a feudal superstition, you brat. You don't know that Aunt Li didn't die of illness, but from hanging herself!"

The moment Ernie's mother said this, I could clearly feel He Sanyi's expression change, "Why do you bring it up when he's dead? If you have nothing to do, go back and comfort Ernie."

The woman who spoke just now also said, "Let's go, Ernie's mom. Let's go to my house to chat. We'll have lunch at noon at my place."

Seeing that someone was treating her to a meal, Second Aunt reluctantly left.

He Zhiyi was still standing there staring blankly in the direction of Ernie's mother.

"What's wrong? What do you mean by that?" I saw that there was something wrong with He Wenyi, so I asked.

He gathered his thoughts and sighed. "There are some things that I haven't told you yet."

"Then say it now." Zhong Min also stood there confused, waiting for him to finish.

He Zhiyi also sat on the edge of the field. "Everyone said that the feng shui of the Li Family was not good, and that all the women did not have a good ending, and that all the generations of the Li Family had wives and daughters who didn't marry, or who fought and committed suicide. In Uncle Li's generation, Aunt Li was a kind person, but she died very early on.

"What does that have to do with Uncle Li?" I haven't heard why yet.

He Zhiyi then explained, "In the neighboring families, those with daughters are basically divorced. Those who aren't married have never gotten married. Those who are engaged will be annulled in a few days. Other people say that Uncle Li's Feng Shui is bad, but my dad has seen it and it's a Feng Shui treasure land. I don't know why it's like this. "

"AHH!" Zhong Min looked surprised. "There's such a thing?"

He Yi felt very guilty for not being able to find out the reason that caused Uncle Li to suffer injustice.

"Is it related to that woman from that night?" I asked.

He looked up at me. "What did you see last night?"

"I …"

I can't remember. Last night, I saw that ghost girl embroider a handkerchief, but what else did she do?

There seemed to be some talk between us, but I forgot what it was.

"I saw you in a trance early in the morning, did you encounter some problem?" Why would you be so worried about my reaction?

"I'm fine. It's just that I seem to have forgotten that I did something else when I saw that ghost girl last night."

He Wenyi panicked a little, "Hurry up and think about it. This matter concerns us. How can we forget about her?"

Zhong Min pushed him away, looking furious. "Why are you urging me on? Can't you see that Fei Fei's complexion isn't good? She'll rest for a while to talk about whatever it is that's waiting for us to eat. "

"Am I in a hurry?" He Yi said.

Zhong Min glared at him. "She can't remember. Can you get her to come out?" "Really!"

The more I thought about it, the less I knew. "Maybe I really need a break."

"Then let's go back!" He Wenyi led us to the field and slowly walked back.
