Chapter 78

Literati and poets always like to use flowers to describe people. There are too many words like who is more delicate than a flower, beautiful as a flower, beautiful face, and so on.

I have only heard flowers as metaphors for people, but I have never seen people grow flowers.

Those ladies who came to Wu's house to enjoy the flowers, have all seen it this time.

The flowers are delicate and beautiful, layered on top of each other, with luxuriant branches and leaves, which is really beautiful.Walking down the branches, one can see a human hand faintly exposed in the soil, the flesh and bones of the hand are peeled off, which is very scary to look at.Originally, some people wanted to go home and plant this flower, but now they all gave up.

You push me and I push you to back away hurriedly, no one dares to look there.

Miss Fenyi's name is Zhou Huan Xinyue, she is the second daughter of the Minister of Rites, no matter how free-spirited she used to be, at first glance she would be terrified and disturbed when she saw that she had caught a dead man.She sat there and screamed at the top of her voice. Everyone followed her line of sight and saw the hand, but they all avoided it. Who would dare to step forward?Only Zhou Xinyue was left sitting in the flower bed, crying out of fear.

Gu Ruoben was still worried about Sun Jianing, and just as he was about to reassure her not to be afraid, he saw Sun Jianing looking forward on tiptoe, as if afraid of missing some excitement.Gu Ruo shook her head with a smile, seeing that little girl in pink was still sitting there foolishly, looking scared, she moved forward, put her arm around her and helped her up, actually it wasn't all that much.Zhou Xinyue's whole body was limp, and she was almost completely pressed against Gu Ruo's body. Fortunately, she was petite, so Gu Ruo didn't have to exert too much effort.

Handling Zhou Xinyue halfway to Sun Jianing, Gu Ruo stepped forward again, broke off a section of flower branch and swept the soil along that hand, and saw an arm slowly revealed.Gu Ruo threw down the branches and clapped her hands, looked back at Wu Yanran who was still in a trance, and said calmly, "Miss Wu, there are people buried in the flower garden, please find someone to report to the authorities."

Miaoyin pushed Wu Yanran, who was pulling the handkerchief with both hands, took a step forward to face Gu Ruofu, then looked up at her and said, "Miss Gu is absolutely right, this servant will send someone to report to the officials. I'm afraid my miss is scared Alright, ladies, sit down first, and take the lady back to her room first."

Wu Yanran was still numb, she was extremely shocked, how could it be, how could it be like this?Are those dreams real?She stared straight at the flower bed, cold sweat broke out on her forehead instantly, and she seemed a little unsteady, if Miaoyin hadn't helped her in time, she almost fell to the ground.Her lips were trembling, her hands were also trembling, Miao Yin half pulled and half held her back, and kept reassuring her: "Miss, I'm fine, this servant is here, you'll be fine..."

"Auntie," Wu Yanran turned her gaze away with difficulty, grabbed Miaoyin's arm tightly with trembling hands, as if she had found redemption, and said hurriedly, "Auntie, I'm not a monster, am I right..."

"No," Miaoyin's voice was still gentle, and Wu Yanran's restless heart was moistened like spring rain, "everything will be fine."

Wu Yanran nodded hurriedly, she will get better, as long as she can get better, everything now is nothing.

The two walked a few steps along the yard, Wu Yanran slowly regained her composure, and only then did she remember those young ladies who were still hanging in the garden.Busy and went back to greet them, but failed to appease them.The brave ones gathered at the side, thinking that the Wu family was in trouble this time, and the timid ones couldn't bear the fear, so they hurriedly left.

Gu Ruo didn't leave. To be precise, she wanted to leave, but someone kept her from leaving.

Zhou Xinyue washed her hands, her skin was red from rubbing and she still felt that her hands were not clean. When she was helped out by the servant girl, she couldn't wait to return to Gu Ruo's side.Sun Jianing looked at this arrogant and indulgent Miss Zhou family who was always sticking to Gu Ruo's side with low eyebrows and eyes, and always felt that the world was changing so fast that she couldn't keep up.

Because it was an accident in the official family, it was the Dali Temple who came again.

Xiao Chengfeng saw Gu Ruo at a glance, and he didn't avoid suspicion, and approached him with a smile: "Ah Ruo, what did you find?"

Gu Ruo shook her head and said, "I can only see that it is the upper limbs of a person, I don't know if there is anything else inside."

Standing aside, Zhou Xinyue blushed suddenly when she saw the legendary playboy Xiao Chengfeng for the first time.She had also heard that Xiao Chengfeng was as handsome as jade, but she scoffed at that time, he was just a dude, how could he be so handsome.Now that I really saw this person, I overturned all my previous prejudices against him. How could a man with such a face be so bad?
Half of the young ladies who were still in the garden pretended to drift their eyes to Xiao Chengfeng inadvertently. Although the people of Dachu were relatively civilized, they didn't have much chance to see the son of aristocratic family.I only occasionally heard other people talk about the appearance, talent, and character of someone else.Hearing is always hearing, and it is not as visually impactful as reality.There are also young ladies with autumn water in their eyes and spring in their faces, but it's a pity that Xiao Chengfeng's eyes are only on Gu Ruo.Never saw anyone else.

As early as when Xiao Chengfeng came in, Wu Yanran couldn't help but took steps forward.Just as he was about to say hello to Xiao Chengfeng, Xiao Chengfeng passed her by and strode towards Gu Ruo.The smile that hadn't yet bloomed in the future froze instantly on her face. Wu Yanran stood there in despair, looking at Xiao Chengfeng's back, her whole body was wrapped in coldness.She touched her face, smiled again, raised her foot and walked up behind Xiao Chengfeng, and said softly: "Master Xiao, long time no see."

Xiao Chengfeng turned around when he heard the words, and saw a girl standing behind him at some point, he was obviously stunned: "Excuse me, who is the girl?"

He doesn't remember himself, he doesn't remember himself? !
Wu Yanran swayed, slowly lowered her eyes, and her voice was turbulent: "The little girl is Wu Yanran, the second daughter of Taishi Wu, and the current concubine is my elder sister. You and I have met each other at the palace banquet, and Mr. Xiao has forgotten so much. It’s common to not remember things.”

When Xiao Chengfeng saw this face that was five points similar to that of Concubine Xian, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't want to embarrass a little girl, so he just nodded to her, and then talked to Gu Ruo again.The second miss of the Wu family, who was the focus everywhere, was left aside by Xiao Chengfeng, who "knows style best". Although the other ladies didn't speak, there was a sense of watching the excitement in their eyes.

Gu Ruo's attention was all on the flower bed. Seeing that the yamen servant was cleaning up the flowers with his hands and was about to dig them up, Gu Ruo hurriedly stepped forward, took a handful of small equipment, and carefully cleaned up along that arm. Also asked Li Dazui to clean up together like her.The two worked together to clean up the soil on the top layer first, and then slowly figured out the outline.Several yamen servants all opened their eyes wide, there was clearly a person buried in the soil of the flower garden!
Most of the body was rotten, and the clothes on it were torn, and it could still be seen that they were women's clothes.Cleaning up the corpse is not easy, because the operation not only needs to clean up the soil, but also removes the rhizomes of flowers stuck in the corpse bit by bit.Every rhizome is related to flesh and blood, and the most brilliant flower is rooted from the eyes of the corpse.

The young lady who originally wanted to watch the excitement couldn't stay any longer, she covered her mouth and endured the nausea, so she resigned.At this moment, apart from the people and officials in the Wu residence, only Gu Ruo, Sun Jianing, Zhou Xinyue who was leaning behind Gu Ruo with her eyes covered, and the lady in green who had been silent all this time.

"Miss Wu, I don't know where Grand Master Wu is now?"

"Daddy has gone to court. I have sent someone to look for him. He should be back soon."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, digging up a dead body in the back garden is by no means an easy matter to settle. In any case, Grand Master Wu is in trouble.Not only Xiao Chengfeng thought of this level, but Wu Yanran could also think of it, but the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything else, I just hope that Dad will come back soon.

Miaoyin looked at Wu Yanran worriedly, and asked her in a low voice if she wanted to go back to her room to rest, Wu Yanran shook her head, how could she leave at this time.Seeing this, Miaoyin couldn't say anything, she just stepped aside, lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

It was rare for Li Dazui not to be talkative, he stepped forward to tell Xiao Chengfeng that he had finished cleaning up, and asked him if he wanted to transport the body back to Yizhuang first.Xiao Chengfeng shook his head, raised his finger to another cluster of flowers, and whispered a word: "Dig!"

Li Dazui's heart skipped a beat, could it be...

Can't!
No way!
Reason tells me that it should be fine, but I always feel a little weird in my heart, as if I can foresee something.

Sure enough, the yamen servants dug up the flower garden and dug up four more corpses one after another. Some were from wolves, and some were freshly decomposed, among which were densely packed corpse-eating insects.This time, not only the women, but even the yamen servants couldn't stand it anymore, and they all had expressions of horror on their faces.

"Ugh..." Wu Yanran took a few steps back abruptly, covered her mouth and ran to the side to support the pillar and vomited.

The lady in green didn't vomit, just like Zhou Xinyue, she passed out as soon as her eyes went dark.Miaoyin hurriedly asked someone to send them to the guest room, and said to find a doctor to take a look at them, so as not to cause any problems.

Gu Ruo looked at the five corpses, and a thought flashed in her mind, but that thought passed too quickly, and it disappeared before she caught it.

Taishi Wu finally returned to the mansion. He didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but when he entered the courtyard and saw the mess, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood - this is not like his home, but more like a Shura field.After finally calming down, Taishi Wu tried his best to save face for himself, and first exchanged greetings with Xiao Chengfeng, talked about his innocence, and expressed that he would cooperate with a thorough investigation.After saying this, Taishi Wu turned around and yelled at Miaoyin again, and said with a straight face: "Such a horrible thing happened in the backyard, don't you hurry up and take the young lady back to the room, if you startle Yanran, don't blame the old man for being rude!"

Before Miaoyin could speak, Wu Yanran stepped forward with a pale face, took Miaoyin's hand and explained to her, "Daddy, don't blame Auntie, I must stay here. There is such a big accident in the backyard of Wu's family. As a daughter of the Wu family, how can I stay out of it."

Grand Master Wu looked at Wu Yanran with satisfaction, feeling in his heart that there is a young girl in my family, after thinking about it, let her go back to the room first.After Wu Yanran left, Taishi Wu sighed, turned to face Xiao Chengfeng, and said without waiting for him to ask: "Nephew, now that things have happened, I am not going to hide some things. To be honest, old man I heard early in the morning that there are ghosts in this house. At first I didn't believe it, until later..."
