"This silver hairpin…"
"According to my observation, it should be a burial object.”
"There is a mysterious and unknown corpse poison attached to it. If it is accidentally scratched, it may cause the symptoms of your wife's poison entering the bone marrow.”
When he said that, Su Ming held the silver hairpin in his hand and looked at the girl with a deep gaze.
"If my guess is correct."
"You must have been accidentally stabbed by this silver hairpin, right?”
The servant girl's expression was surprised. Memories flashed in her eyes, and her mouth gradually opened wide."Yes, it happened on my birthday…"
It matched!
Be it Chen Pi or Er Yue Hong, their faces were as pale as paper. A bone-piercing chill rose from their bodies, as if they had entered the middle of winter.
What was this?
Hunting wild geese all day long, only to be pecked in the eye by a wild goose?
The famous Master Chang Sha, the Red Moon Red of the Nine Gates Red Mansion, could not even identify a single burial item and almost killed his wife.
At the thought of this, Er Yuehong's face turned as pale as paper. She clenched her fists tightly and felt as if her body had fallen into an ice cave. A bone-piercing chill came from her.
Her fingernails were deeply embedded in her palms, and she felt a heart-wrenching pain.
His heart felt like it was being stabbed.
"Girl, I'm sorry."
Suddenly, Er Yue Hong stood up and looked at the servant girl with guilt. She said,""You wore this silver hairpin on your head for so long, but I didn't notice it.”
"It's all my fault…"
His eyes were filled with guilt, and his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. His expression was extremely uncomfortable.
"Second Master!"
The servant girl's expression was gentle and tender. She slowly walked over and held her husband's broad hand as she gently advised him.
"This has nothing to do with you. Don't think too much.”
"Yes!"
At this moment, Chen Pi was in a daze. His face was filled with guilt as he knelt on the ground and said in a low voice,"This has nothing to do with Master. It's all my fault. I was possessed and gave this poisonous hairpin to Master's wife. I almost killed Master's wife..."
At this point, a crazed look appeared in Chen Pi's eyes.
He seemed to have made a decision.
"I'm too ashamed to see Master and Mistress!"
In the next second, he reached out and flipped his hand, revealing a nine-clawed hook that flickered with a cold light. He suddenly swiped it at his neck with a determined expression. He was actually going to commit suicide here.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, a servant girl's scream came from the front hall.
In the next second, Er Yuehong's expression changed. She suddenly flicked her finger, and a fine needle suddenly flew out from her fingertip, drawing a silver light in the air.
It accurately pierced into an acupuncture point on Chen Pi's right arm, causing his right arm to tremble. He could no longer hold the Nine-clawed Hook and fell to the ground with a clang.
Er Yue Hong's face was filled with anger and disappointment. She pointed at Chen Pi and cursed loudly.
"You entered the residence at a young age."
"Your master's wife and I have no children, so we practically raised you like a son.”
"Are you going to humiliate yourself like this?"
"Are you worthy of your master's wife and me?”
Instantly, Chen Pi's body trembled, and a look of guilt appeared on his face. Like a child, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cry.
"Master, I've let you down, and I've let you down even more!”
" This disciple is unfilial and has failed to live up to your expectations. I almost accidentally killed Master's wife. I have committed a heinous crime and deserve to die ten thousand times…"
He looked at Chen Pi with a guilty expression.
Er Yuehong's chest heaved up and down as she bawled like a child. She took a few deep breaths, and her eyes were filled with heartache and pity.
"Alright, get up first."
Er Yue Hong reached out and lifted Chen Pi's elbow, helping him up from the ground. She sighed and said,""It's not all your fault…"
"That silver hairpin was worn on your master's wife for so long.”
"I can't tell either."
At this point, Eryue Hong felt as if a knife had been twisted in her heart. She sighed and said,"It was my incompetence and poor eyesight that almost harmed your master's wife.”
At this moment, the servant girl walked over. Her face was full of fear and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She looked at her husband and Chen Pi with heartache and said,"Second Master, Chenpi, stop talking. It's all in the past. Aren't I fine now?”
"Our family is safe and sound. That is the greatest happiness.”
"Chenpi."
"Don't do anything stupid again and make your master and I worry.”
"You're still young and have a bright future ahead of you. You haven't married yet and have children yet. Be filial to your master and me.”
The servant girl had a gentle temperament as she persuaded him with a concerned expression.
"Yes, master's wife, this disciple understands.”
Chen Pi nodded guiltily.
"But…"
Suddenly, a grave expression appeared on Er Yue Hong's face. She turned her head around and looked at the silver hairpin in Su Ming's palm. She said in a low voice,"Where did you get this silver hairpin from? If it was an ordinary burial object, it shouldn't be difficult for us to see through it.”
"What secrets are there?”
At this point, Er Yue Hong's expression was heavy. Her deep eyes were filled with wisdom as she could not help but lower her head and ponder.
Even Er Yuehong couldn't tell that it was a funerary object!
There must be something fishy about this matter!
There was actually such a sinister thing in Changsha City?
If this news spread, who knew how many people would die.
He needed to investigate properly.
Speaking of the origin of this silver hairpin, Chen Pi felt even more guilty. He lowered his head and spoke in a low voice. He could not help but spit out two words.
" It's in Nan…Nan City!"
As soon as he said that, Er Yuehong's chest heaved up and down. Anger rose in his eyes, and the disappointment in his eyes became even stronger. He almost couldn't help but slap him.
What kind of place was Southern City?
In fact, it was the 'underground ghost market' of Changsha City.
Most of the goods there were of unknown origin. Chenpi actually dared to give this kind of thing to the girl as a birthday present. He was really a bastard!
"Chenpi, you disappoint me!”
Er Yue Hong's chest heaved up and down as he pointed at Chen Pi and scolded angrily.
After saying that, he suddenly pointed at the ancestral hall.
"Go!"
"Kneel in the ancestral hall!"
"Kneel for three days and three nights and reflect on yourself!”
"He's really too much of a bastard!"
Chen Pi lowered his head, his face full of guilt. He did not dare to resist. After saying yes, he turned around and walked out of the front hall towards the ancestral hall.
"Second Master, I'll go persuade him."
The servant girl looked worried and chased after Chen Pi.
After Chen Pi and the servant girl left.
Er Yue Hong's chest heaved.
A melancholic look suddenly appeared on his angry face. He could not help but sigh, then lifted his head and looked at Su Ming and the others. He could not help but smile bitterly and wrap his fist in his palm.
"High Priest, I've made a fool of myself.”
Su Ming's expression was cold as he said flatly,"It's fine. Since the truth is out, let's talk about our cooperation.”
"High Priest, please speak!"
Er Yue Hong's expression turned serious. She sat upright and listened carefully.
Su Ming's expression was cold, and his voice was as clear as a bell." I won't hide it from you. I brought Xiang Miao out of the mountains for another reason besides selling medicinal herbs.”
Er Yue Hong pretended to listen.
Su Ming said," Not long ago, I led my people to dig up an underground palace under Bottle Mountain. It was where ancient Daoists refined pills for the emperor. There were countless gold pearls, precious stones, bones, and Underworld Artifacts in it. There was also a purple-gold coffin of a Yuan Dynasty general.”
Er Yue Hong was surprised.
He did not expect that the things Su Ming revealed would be related to the ancient tomb.
Gradually, he had some guesses in his heart.
