Chapter 32 Burial
In addition to the original owner's adopted daughter, the Xu family also has a biological daughter and a young son.

The eldest daughter, Xu Shanshan, should be seventeen years old this year, and the youngest son is six years old.

Maomao asked her, "Shan, what should we do now?"

Xu Shanshan dusted off his hands and said, "Let's go find out what the Xu family has done wrong."

"Who should I ask? The old lady just now seemed to be quite sensitive about this matter."

Her eyes were as calm as stars: "Of course I'll ask someone who knows about this."

for example?

"Nanfeng Xu."

The Xu family and the Nanfeng family have always had a good relationship, and the two families even arranged marriages for their children, although a rift developed between the two families because of Xu Shanshan.

But Nanfengxu and Xu Shanshan have always been in love with each other, and they will definitely not be indifferent to the affairs of the Xu family.

Nan Fengxu planned to enter the official career in the future, so he studied at the famous Yingtian Academy in Huainan.

She went straight to the gate of Yingtian Academy and waited quietly until noon, when the students had an hour's break. Only then did some people come out to relax.

A thin man came out with several classmates. He had delicate features and fair skin. He was wearing a fitted blue college gown, and looked quite elegant.

This person is Nan Fengxu.

He seemed to be in a depressed mood and frowned recently. Everyone around him was laughing and joking, but he was the only one who kept silent. Occasionally, when he was called, he would respond vaguely.

"Nanfeng Xu."

Hearing someone calling his name, and it was a woman's voice, Nan Fengxu turned his head curiously, and just in time saw Xu Shanshan waiting at the door of the academy.

At this time, Xu Shanshan changed her clothes again. She followed the original owner's dressing style in her memory, re-forged the cloud gauze top and used lotus as the skirt, with rich and bright colors.

But the complicated bun was too difficult to create, so she just casually tied her hair into a loose side bun and didn't wear any makeup.

In this way, there is a sense of "appropriateness" of both light and dark colors, which neutralizes the vulgar color.

After all, they had known each other for several years, so even though she looked different, Nan Fengxu quickly recognized her based on her facial features.

"Xu Shanshan?"

He was surprised at first, then his face changed, and he said with disgust and anger: "Why did you come to me again?"

"This is not a good place to talk. I have something I want to ask you."

She glanced at the gossiping students at the academy gate and signaled to Nan Fengxu that if he didn't want to be watched by curious people, he should follow her.

Nan Fengxu didn't want to deal with her anymore, but... he hesitated for a moment, but still endured the rejection and followed her.

The two of them arrived at a secluded place. Nangong Xu seemed to treat Xu Shanshan as a female hooligan. Not only did he stay away from her, he also looked alert and protected himself.

It's no wonder that Nangong Xu was so defensive, because the original owner had indeed given him some kind of drug. If it weren't for his strong will and his single-minded love for Xu Shanshan, he might have become the original owner's husband by now.

He was the first to ask, "Why did you come back suddenly? Didn't you leave with your master?"

"I just arrived at Huaijiang today. I've been to Xu's house."

"Do you want to ask about the Xu Mansion?" Nangong Xu understood why she came.

"Someone told me that the Xu family had committed a crime, so their property was confiscated."

Seeing her calm expression, not moved at all, Nangong Xu was so angry that his face turned red: "You are here to gloat over other people's misfortunes, right? The Xu family has really raised you for so many years in vain, you are an ungrateful person!"

Being scolded all over the place would make even a good-tempered person uncomfortable, not to mention that Xu Shanshan was not an easy person to get along with. Her eyes were slightly cold, and the smile on her lips was sharp and stern: "You don't have to judge who I am. I just want to know what happened to the Xu family? Where are Xu Shanshan and Xu Shuishui."

When Nangong Xu heard Xu Shanshan's name, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Shanshan, Shanshan was sent to Black Island, a place that is like hell. I don't know whether she is alive or dead."

He sniffed, feeling deeply sentimental.

"The Xu family didn't commit any crime. They were framed and harmed. But I don't know what happened... My parents didn't let me investigate or get involved. I only know... this matter might be related to the Lei family."

Xu Shanshan listened to him quietly until he finished speaking, then asked, "Where are the two elders of the Xu family buried?"

"What do you want to do?! Xu Shanshan, please let the Xu family go. The Xu family is in such a state now. You should end any hatred or grudge you had with them. If you still have a conscience, please consider the miserable state of the Xu family..."

He finally expressed his thoughts: "Then ask your powerful master to save Shanshan and her brother."

He heard that Xu Shanshan's master was known as the best fortune teller in the world and was very powerful. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, it was still a hope.

However, Xu Shanshan's words directly shattered the last bit of hope in his heart.

"The grass on the fortune teller's grave is probably taller than that on the Xu family's grave."

"...Is he dead?" Nan Fengxu's face turned pale and he took a step back dejectedly.

"Let me ask you again, where are the bodies of the two elders of the Xu family buried?"

When her eyelids were pressed down, she looked naturally strong and inviolable.

Nan Fengxu shuddered, his tongue froze, and he shrank back in his heart. When did she become so powerful?
"No, I don't know. It should have been thrown into a mass grave. I heard from others that bodies that were not collected were thrown there. I secretly went there before and wanted to look for it, to collect the body for Shanshan, but the place was too big and too creepy. I, I never found it..."

He stammered as he spoke, his face showing guilt and pain.

This man is like a flower in a greenhouse. At first glance, he looks beautiful and innocent, but once he loses his comfortable environment and shelter, he will not have any resilience at all and will be ravaged by suffering and unable to recover.

To put it bluntly, he is the kind of person who can share wealth but not adversity.

"take me."

"What are you going to do in a place like that?"

Xu Shanshan was too lazy to answer his boring question. She just gave Nan Fengxu a look as deep as a pool and told him to lead the way.

There was a large mulberry forest outside the city, and next to it was a dried-up mud pool. Nan Fengxu came here but suddenly stopped. The reason he didn't continue walking was -

The pit ahead has now become a pit of dead bodies.

From the abandoned children who died young and the lonely old people, I looked up at the hillside not far away, and saw only scattered graves, mounds of earth, and the hoarse and rough crows in the dead woods...

The sky was already dark, and a blood-like color was sprinkled on the grave. There was silence all around, and when the wind blew, Nan Fengxu seemed to be able to hear the breathing of the dead.

He felt cold all over, but he saw that Xu Shanshan, a woman, was so brave. She was walking forward as if she couldn't see the corpses in the gloomy environment around her at all.

"Xu Shanshan——"

Nan Fengxu's heart was beating so fast that it almost reached his throat, especially as it was almost nightfall. This damn place was even more terrifying without any light.

"Just wait for me here."

Looking at her graceful and elegant back, Nan Fengxu was stunned.

He didn't expect her to be so persistent. Was it because her conscience had awakened after she grew up, or was she becoming more vicious and not wanting to let go even the corpse?
