Chapter 70 Funeral
Yin Qi knelt in the solemn mourning hall, wearing mourning clothes, kneeling to the guests while shedding tears. In a trance, she seemed to be back when her mother passed away.
But now is different from the past. In addition to the solemn arrangements around, there are endless people coming to worship, because the one lying in the coffin is Yin Zhengchuan's wife.
As Yin Qi expected, Tao Ying failed to get through and went before dawn. Although her husband and son were by her side, she could not wake up and take a look.
Yin Qi quietly glanced at Yin Tingxiu beside her. The sparks reflected his tears-stuck face. In addition to sadness, there was also a kind of despair with no way out.
Yin Qi felt strange. When the Tao family came to pay their respects, Yin Tingxiu just sat there indifferently and ignored it. With her understanding of Yin Tingxiu, this reaction was too dull.
Thinking of the night when Tao Ying passed away, Yin Zhengchuan had a dispute with Yin Zhengyuan who came to visit. Except for Yin Tingxiu, everyone else was driven to another room.
When he was called over again, Yin Zhengchuan looked at his wife's body as if dead. Yin Tingxiu was gone.
It is said that he fainted from sorrow and was sent to Tianziban for rest.
The storm has not yet subsided. Aunt Li and Qiurong were strangled to death by Yin Zhengyuan at dawn. The charge was for failing to protect the master, and Yang Cheng was fined a commission of half a year.
Tao Ying committed suicide in a vigorous and vigorous suicide, and was later claimed to be because of the sudden death of her father and brother, and she became crazy about her worries. After setting fire, she accidentally entered the fire scene and died.
Yin Zhengyuan also executed several servants who were discussing this matter. Everyone was frightened and dared not gossip again.
Yin Qi waited for a long time in anxiety, and Yin Tingxiu finally came back from the Tianzi Class. But after he arrived at the mourning hall, he always looked like this. I wonder what Yin Zhengyuan said to him?
There were too many idle people around, and Yin Qi could not find an opportunity to communicate with Yin Tingxiu. Jiang Yuenu looked heartbroken and tried to come over to comfort him several times, but Yin Qi stopped him.
But one day, Yin Qi felt that her eyes were getting dryer. She tried hard to think about Tao Ying's good deeds to her in the past, but she could only be moved for a while, and it didn't work after a few times. She pretended to cry when she was young, but now she seemed to have lost this ability and could not cry.
Yin Qi looked at Jiang Yuenu behind her and saw that she was in tears. Although she always looked at Yin Tingxiu from time to time, she was even more emotional than herself.
Surprised at her indifference, Yin Qi had to lower her head and pretend to wipe her tears. She kept thinking about her way out for herself and a few of her companions.
After Tao Ying was buried, Yin Zhengchuan stayed in the Shenhu Hall, but Yin Tingxiu was unexpectedly calm and came to Yin Qi to attend class three days later.
Yin Qi was engaged and was about to get married soon, so she did not move out of Jinhua Hall. Although she became the only master in the courtyard, most of the servants were replaced. Under the eyes of many strangers, Yin Qi felt that she was even more restrained than before.
Leaving the servant's sight, Yin Qi asked in a low voice: "Does your brother know something?"
Yin Tingxiu's face was dim. When he heard her question, he stared straight ahead and said sadly: "Fake it! Everything is fake!"
Seeing that he answered the question irrelevantly, Jiang Yuenu secretly grabbed Yin Qi's neck of clothes and whispered: "You won't be too sad, are you crazy?"
No, Yin Qi shook her head. Things have developed like this. In order to stabilize Yin Tingxiu's emotions and make him obedient, Yin Zhengyuan must have revealed some inside stories about the Yin family.
Tao Ying once said that the water in her home was very deep, and it seemed that what she said was true. Now even Yin Tingxiu has been suppressed, so that he no longer pursued the cause of his mother's death.
At this time, Yin Tingxiu was more desperate in his heart! The wall that Tao Ying carefully built for him collapsed and suddenly faced this world of the strong prey on the weak, which was destined to be unacceptable for a while.
Yin Qi understood that this was not a good time to ask Yin Tingxiu, so she could only wait a little longer.
Two days later, Yin Tingxiu, in the Tianzi class, took the initiative to come to the wooden house to find Yin Qi.
His emotions recovered a lot, his eyes were no longer empty, and he calmly said, "I'm going to get married in more than a month, but you're not in a hurry."
Yin Qi was a little angry and didn't want to pay attention to him. She kept not asking questions, but it was all about taking care of his feelings.
Of course Yin Qi was anxious! These days, she had been discussing countermeasures with Jiang Yuenu, trying to find a chance to escape as soon as possible. But without Yin Tingxiu's help, they couldn't even leave the mansion.
Through the lotus fire, Yin Qi and Uncle Ya communicated with each other. Chen Tian suggested in his beautiful handwriting: He could find some people to "snatch the marriage" halfway.
Jiang Yuenu was extremely impressed by this idea and said excitedly: "That's what it should be. It's too difficult to sneak away, so how can you come out with great pride?"
In Yin Qi's opinion, this idea is naturally not very reliable. What kind of people can an external hexagram master in Chentian find? What's more, how many people dare to go against the Yin family within a radius of dozens of miles!
Thinking of this, a person suddenly appeared in Yin Qi's mind. Could it be him who was the "manager" Chen Tian said?
He is willing to help Yin Qi, not only has the ability to "snatch a marriage", but also is not afraid of making grudges with the Yin family. Who else is besides her uncle?
In this way, this is indeed a feasible method, but Yin Qi really doesn't want to have anything to do with the Gu family.
Most of Yin Qi's hopes were placed on Yin Tingxiu. As long as he still had the will to leave, he could always come up with an idea.
Unfortunately, Yin Tingxiu was not in a hurry to discuss this matter and continued, "Do you know the witchcraft?"
Yin Qi shook her head, "Is this a magic trick?"
"Yes, very few people have heard of it. I also saw it in an old book I accidentally got a few years ago."
"That's the secret technique."
"It is indeed a secret technique," he continued, "but it is extremely evil. This technique is made into a poison of the Gu by refining living creatures. Once the Gu is attacked, it will be unbearable and will die suddenly, and it will be extremely difficult for outsiders to detect it."
Yin Qi couldn't understand, "Why did you create this secret technique? If you kill ordinary people, aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven?"
"I can't figure it out either. Maybe there is some mystery!" He paused for a moment, his face was solemn, and he said, "My grandfather and uncle were killed by witchcraft."
"Where did you know?" Yin Qi had actually guessed the answer.
"From uncle," he snorted sarcastically, and then slowly sat down on the stone behind him. "The witch technique is originally the secret technique of the Yin family."
