If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 444 Searching
"I just found out about Shaoyao today." Aunt Liu explained, "Shaoyao lives in Tianbaoju, and I'm in Hongxiufang.

I have no control over her affairs at all.

Even the money she earned would not be sent directly to Hongxiufang and given to me.

This afternoon, I was lying on the couch, planning to take a short nap, when a servant from Yonghe Palace came to Hongxiufang to look for me.

He didn’t tell me anything and just asked me to go to Yonghe Palace.

I met Lord Li, the Middle Commoner.

Lord Li asked me a few questions and then asked me to take the fat miller from the side room away. "

"I can swear to you that I absolutely did not lie!" Aunt Liu said seriously, raising her right hand.

"What question did Li Anmin ask you?" Xiaoyu asked.

Aunt Liu looked hesitant and said, “The questions he asked were all related to Shaoyao’s funeral.

I told him that no matter what happened to Shaoyao, he couldn't hide it from the prince.

Li Anmin asked me again,

She looked up at Xiaoyu.

Facing her bright but emotionless eyes, Aunt Liu's expression became helpless and tangled, "Xiao Fengxian, can you please listen to my advice and let the matter of Shaoyao go.

Death is not the end.

If I die in this life, I will be reincarnated in the next life. No matter what my identity is, it will definitely be better than being a whore."

Xiao Yu said: "In that case, I will chop you with my sword, so that you can happily look forward to your next life, how about that?"

"Of course I understand that it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. But now it has happened and Shaoyao is dead." Aunt Liu sighed.

Xiao Yu also sighed and asked, "If I let you go back thirty years ago and replace He Pozi, would you beat your fifteen-year-old self?"

Aunt Liu said immediately, "Of course I will whip her. I will whip her to death. I only whipped her fifty times because Mrs. He was too soft-hearted."

Xiao Yu said: "First recall your feelings when you were fifteen, and then answer this question."

Just as Aunt Liu was about to speak, Xiao Yu said in a low voice, "Qing Ling is watching you from the sky."

Aunt Liu subconsciously looked up at the sky, and shuddered. "I"

Xiao Yu stood up, looked at the dazed and tangled Aunt Liu, and said lightly: "I talked so much nonsense with you, not to influence you.

I just feel sorry for you, understand?

From the beginning, you and I both understood that I didn’t have to ask you.”

After saying that, she picked up Fat Moler again and prepared to go out.

"Hey, don't leave, this really has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Aunt Liu quickly stood up and tried to grab Xiaoyu's arm, but she dodged it.

Aunt Liu did not give up. She grabbed Fat Moler's hand again and finally stopped the two of them. Fat Moler grimaced in pain.

"Don't go. I have something to tell you. Lord Li asked me what my reaction would be if I knew something happened to Shaoyao.

He also asked me to go back and comfort you."

Xiao Yu looked back at her and said, "You think you can comfort me? You can't even comfort your fifteen-year-old self!"

"I can't comfort her, but can't I whip her?" Aunt Liu shouted with a distorted face.

"Try to whip me with the whip." Xiaoyu said lightly.

Aunt Liu became emotional and said loudly: "I beat her for her own good, and I advised you for your own good.

The peony is dead.

No matter how sharp your sword is, or how ferocious your sword energy is, it cannot change this fact.

Since you have already prepared to leave Tianmen Town, you might as well leave now.

I just thought you left two days earlier, and I don’t know what happened to Shaoyao later.”

Xiao Yu narrowed her eyes and asked, "Who said I want to leave Tianmen Town?"

Aunt Liu said: "Aren't you going to the upper country of China to escape the revenge of the demon cicada and gain a bright future?

You lived a happy and carefree life in Hongxiufang before, and had no idea about the bitch's fate.

But you are very smart. After listening to what I said before, you should have realized that as long as you don’t take Shaoyao away with you, the situation today will happen sooner or later.

You can't change this fact, you can only accept it.

It is difficult and uncomfortable to recognize and accept the reality. I understand.

But you get used to it, really.

Don't say anything. You are the 'famous and righteous Yu Fengxian'. You can never get used to it and you will never get used to it.

Even if you are a Golden Immortal or the Three Pure Ones, you still have to get used to it.

No matter where she is, no matter which bitch she is, her life is not her own.

Can there be a good ending if your life is in the hands of others?

Even if you went to the most famous Chinese city and met the most famous prostitute in the world, you would still end up like this.”

Xiao Yu waited quietly for her to finish before asking again, "Did Li Rongji tell you that I will leave Tianmen Town soon?"

Li Rongji's previous tolerance towards her was all for the sake of the overall situation.

The so-called overall situation is naturally the situation of demonic disasters that West Shu is facing now.

Yu Fengxian is a tough person who is not afraid of death. When encountering evil spirits, she will rush forward and fight fiercely. She is like a sharp knife.

It is worth it for Li Rongji to use.

If Li Rongji knew that she was about to leave Xishu, he would definitely be furious and no longer care about her thoughts.

Shaoyao may not have been killed because of this, but Li Rongji must have removed some of his concerns about her.

A person who is about to leave Xishu is of no value to him, so what else should he worry about?
Aunt Liu wanted to go crazy, "Why can't you grasp the point?"

Xiao Yu was silent for a while, then said, "If I could travel through time and space and see you thirty years ago.

Even if I don’t know you and Qingling.

If I had only heard you tell me about Qingling, I would probably have helped you kill Changhou Li Binghuan."

Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, then said bitterly, "No, it's not necessary."

Xiao Yu said: "You are living a pitiful life now, with a narrow vision that can only see yourself and can't care about more. I don't blame you, nor will I scold you.

I just hope you understand that living like this is pitiful.

If someone can choose not to be so pathetic, don't keep dragging her into being pathetic with you.

Just like you said, death is not the end, the soul will be reincarnated, maybe the next life will be better?"

"I may live a better life in my next life, but you won't." Aunt Liu stared at Xiaoyu's face and said softly, "You are extremely intelligent, beautiful, talented in cultivation, and have a good personality. If such a good person dies, even if you reincarnate ten thousand times, you will never get such a good opportunity."

Xiao Yu pushed away her arm that was pulling Fat Moler and sighed, "I shouldn't have come to Hong Xiu Fang to look for you."

It's not that I can't get any useful information from Aunt Liu, although I did get no useful information.

Instead, he went to look for Aunt Liu, which might kill her.

Shaoyao’s death must be related to Yonghe Palace and Li Rongji!
Xiaoyu herself was not afraid of being implicated at all. She was confident that even if she miscalculated and Da Mie Ba missed a mysterious powerful man and lost his life, she would accept it.

Aunt Liu can't afford to be implicated.

When Aunt Liu was reminiscing about the past, Xiao Yu couldn't help but think seriously: If she didn't have the Purple Palace, the wisdom of Kunpeng, and the sword bone, could she live more freely than Aunt Liu?

not necessarily.

If you can't do it yourself, you naturally have no right to ask others to do more.

Xiaoyu really didn't blame Aunt Liu. She didn't want to ruin her pitiful but comfortable and free life.

——Why doesn't a strong bastard like Lee Young-gi harm others, but instead keeps picking on this weak and poor creature?
Aunt Liu's expression changed rapidly, as if she had finally made a decision after struggling with her inner self for a long time.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll take you to find Peony!"

Xiaoyu perked up, "Do you know where Sister Shaoyao is? Is she still alive?"

"Lord Li asked me to find a way to calm you down and stop making a fuss, so how could Shaoyao still be alive?

As long as she still has a breath, she will calm you down and comfort herself without my persuasion." Aunt Liu said bitterly.

The little bit of hope on Xiaoyu's face quickly disappeared, and she asked in a muffled voice: "Where is Sister Shaoyao's body?"

Aunt Liu said, "I can take you to find Shaoyao, but you have to promise me one thing."

Seeing Xiaoyu’s expression change quickly, she quickly explained: “Don’t worry, my request is simple and reasonable.

I just want you to ask Shaoyao's ghost in person whether he wants to avenge her."

Xiao Yu said coldly: "Sister Shaoyao is dead, and you are still threatening her?"

"How did I threaten her? I just understand one thing. Shaoyao and I don't want you to do anything stupid." Aunt Liu shouted.

"This is threatening her, using the possibility that I might be in danger to force her to 'consider the overall situation'." Xiaoyu said.

"But what I said is also true. If something really happened to you, she would definitely blame herself extremely." Aunt Liu said.

Xiao Yu said: "You are starting to threaten me again."

Aunt Liu was speechless and helpless, "At least find out who harmed her, don't wrongly accuse His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"I will definitely investigate it thoroughly, and none of the damned ones will be able to survive! Stop talking nonsense, and just lead the way." Xiaoyu said impatiently.

Aunt Liu glanced at her and said, "Come with me."

She did not take the main road, but climbed over the eaves and walls until she reached the city gate.

The guards on the city gate tower and the soldiers patrolling on the city walls have all practiced martial arts, and among them there are many powerful warriors in the Zhenyuan realm.

Ordinary warriors try to climb over the city wall by using light skills. If they are discovered by the guards, they may be shot into hedgehogs by crossbows if they are unlucky, which is very dangerous.

Therefore, even if a warrior uses light skills to travel quickly, he will stop at the city gate.

Xiaoyu carried Fat Moler into the ghost road without leaving any trace.

After coming out of the west gate, Aunt Liu did not walk along the West Straight Road, but turned to the northwest.

After walking about another seven or eight miles, they arrived at a desolate and gloomy forest.

Western Sichuan is mountainous, and here there is a patch of exposed rocks.

There are many rocks, but the terrain is relatively low and the sunlight is blocked by nearby hills. It is difficult to reclaim the wasteland, and there is no value in reclaiming it. There are only some wild grass and trees growing there.

Xiaoyu looked unhappy, "Sister Shaoyao is here?"

She had lived in Yingxiang Mansion and Tianmen Town for half a year and liked to travel around on weekdays, so of course she knew what this place was.

Mass grave!
A wealthy family like the Wang family can choose a Feng Shui site to build a tomb.

Ordinary families like Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang also have clan land for burial.

But if you end up like Manager Hu, there will be no one to help collect your body, no place to bury it, and no coffin. You will freeze to death or starve to death on the roadside. The body collector will roll up the body with a torn straw mat, put it on a cart, pull it to this place outside the city, and then dump it in an open space.

Even poor families with surviving family members in Yingxiang Prefecture and Tianmen Town, who had no property or jobs, would bury their family members in a random pit dug on a nearby hillside.

This is how the "mass grave" came into being.

Aunt Liu opened her eyes wide and searched quickly in the rocky forest, saying, "You have lived in Hongxiufang for too short a time. If you stay for another two or three years, you will know that this is the 'ancestral tomb' of our Hongxiufang.

Most of the girls in Hongxiufang, no matter how beautiful, clean, elegant and decent they were in their lifetime, could not avoid coming here to rest in the end.

Maybe you'll wander around China for a few years, and when you come back to visit me, you'll have to come here!"

Xiao Yu felt depressed, "With the financial situation of Mr. Wang's family, they can buy a beautiful barren mountain.

You live a life of extravagance, but you can't buy a plot of land for your grave?"

"Every penny earned by Mr. Wang belongs to him. Even if Hongxiufang makes a fortune every day, it doesn't belong to the whores. Don't you understand this?

Moreover, how many people in the Wang family could die?

Do you know how many girls come to Hongxiufang every year?
Why is it that with so many girls coming in every year, Hongxiufang is still not full, and there are many empty houses in the backyard?
If they really bought a piece of land for a cemetery and buried each girl according to the burial standards of ordinary families, Hongxiufang would lose tens of thousands of taels of silver a year.

This is one of them.

Another reason is that people dare not or cannot do it.

Many girls couldn't bear it and hanged themselves.

But most of the girls, top actresses, famous actresses, prostitutes, and courtesans died violent deaths.

What a tragic fate! She died a violent death, and we can't even inquire about it, and yet we still hold a grand funeral?
What should you do if you anger the nobles in the court and the big shots in the underworld?
The dead are dead, and the living must continue to enjoy the romance, and live happily every day. "

Aunt Liu paused, pointed at the weeds ahead, and said hesitantly, "That looks like a peony."
