Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 428 Guo Family Incident

The room was quiet, but outside the room the wind was blowing loudly, making the windows creak, as if highlighting the tranquility of the night.

Si He looked at the person on the ground quietly. After a long while, Hong Que's face was no longer ferocious, but became very calm, with a dim gaze. He had completely changed into a different person.

It was very fast, eating the soul, digesting it, and adapting to the new body in a very short time.

Si He reached out and pulled out the silver needle. Looking at its current state, perhaps, next time she wouldn't need to do anything, and it would be able to devour the soul successfully. At most, it would just involve some risks.

However, looking at its expressionless face, she was still a little dissatisfied. "Try to look more natural, otherwise, it will be easy for people to see the clues."

"Yes."

After it responded softly, its facial muscles moved, as if it was adjusting its expression. However, it needed time to adapt to the unfamiliar body, and not every body would suit it.

This body was obviously unsuitable, but it had to make do with it for now.

It controlled its body and slowly sat up, first turning its neck, then moving its hands and legs. After a while, it slowly stood up, its movements very slowly.

Si He sat back in the chair, put away the silver needle, picked up the comb, and combed her hair while watching it move.

About a quarter of an hour later, it finally mastered the control of this body.

Si He took out the evil-protecting scale and handed it to it, "Here, remember, if you can avoid touching the talisman paper and things used to exorcise evil spirits, do so. This will deplete the scale's protective effect."

"Yes." It reached out to take the dark scale, looked at it carefully, and then put it away solemnly.

"Go out."

She said something to it and walked towards the bed.

It bowed respectfully to her, and then slowly walked out of the house. At this time, it could control its body movements and walk very freely, but its facial expression was still a little stiff, so it could only keep its head down as much as possible.

As it walked out of the door, it paused, then quickened its pace and walked out quickly.

Because there was a talisman paper stuck on the door, if it weren't for the evil-protecting scales, it would have been impossible for it to walk out of the door. When it walked under the door, it clearly felt the scales in its arms react.

It is the protection of the scales that protects it from the oppression and harm of the talisman power.

In this yard, except for Si He's house, there are talismans and objects for exorcising evil spirits everywhere.

It gritted its teeth and walked towards the toilet.

Gao You and Gao Zi looked at the back of "Red Sparrow" as she left, their eyes darkening slightly. They inexplicably felt that she seemed to have become a little different after she came out of the house, but they couldn't tell what was different.

The two of them thought about it and finally decided not to stare at her. Moreover, they both felt that Si He was doing something secretly. Although she didn't tell them, since she summoned the maid just now, she must have other intentions.

That night, the Guo family was peaceful and unpredictable.

However, many people did not sleep well. After all, the Guo family had been in trouble many times. Those timid people who saw the scary female ghost in the back garden last night had nightmares. For example, Guo Shuangjiang did not sleep well and had nightmares continuously.

The back garden was still sealed off and no one was allowed to enter. The mages took turns guarding it, all believing that the ghost was hiding somewhere in the garden. They just didn't know what means it had used to evade their searches and hide well. They didn't think it had escaped, because based on the arrangement of the formation and their estimation of the ghost's abilities, they didn't think it could escape.

In the morning, after having breakfast, Si He learned etiquette and needlework as usual.

And 'Red Sparrow' left Xiangxue Court alone and walked towards Fuhe Hall where the old lady was.

When she left, many people secretly watched her from behind, their expressions varied and their eyes complicated.

Many people knew that Red Sparrow was the person secretly sent by the old lady to spy on her. They also knew that she would occasionally pass on messages to the old lady when she went to pick up things.

However, Redbird's behavior today was indeed a little abnormal. She was more taciturn than usual, always with her head down, as if she had something on her mind. It was said that she stayed in the toilet for most of the night and came back very late, as if she had a stomach upset. But this morning, she seemed to be fine again, which was really weird.

But Gao You and Gao Zi knew more. Last night at midnight, they saw "Red Sparrow" take a stick and take down all the talisman papers on the maid's rest room, and then put them into the puddle under the eaves. After poking them to pieces, he covered them with something before entering the room.

This behavior makes people think more.

At the same time, the two of them also felt that this matter was related to Si He, so they just watched silently.

Time passed little by little, and the cardinal never came back after leaving the yard, which made people think more.

Until noon, an incredible news came from outside. It was said that Redbird had fallen ill at the old lady's house and died!

Many people were extremely surprised to hear the news, especially the people from Xiangxueyuan.

A healthy person suddenly fell ill and died. If there was no inside story, no one would believe it. But no one dared to say it out loud. They just guessed in their hearts that she might have angered the old lady, so she "fell ill" and died.

This kind of thing has happened before.

Si He, like everyone else, seemed to believe this statement. She didn't say much, but just asked Gao You and Gao Zi to keep an eye on the Guo family's movements.

When Gao You and Gao Zi heard her instructions, they immediately felt that something was going to happen again.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, I heard that everyone from the three houses gathered in Fuhe Hall to discuss something. Later, they started arguing and even broke cups. It was a big fight. Unfortunately, the servants serving outside could not find out the details.

Si He was indifferent to these things, but still asked Gao You and Gao Zi to pay close attention.

On the second day, it was said that the housekeeping power of the eldest house was taken away and the second house was temporarily replaced. For a while, there was noisy again, and this time the quarrel was even more intense than yesterday. It was said that the wives of the eldest house and the second house even had a fight, and the noise was so loud that the servants outside could only watch the excitement.

On the third day, the power of the Guo family's housekeeper was completely handed over to the second house, but major matters had to be approved by the old lady. At the same time, the Guo family's business seemed to have some problems and needed money to turn over. The Guo family began to move out all the idle items in the warehouse and mortgaged them and sold them.

For two consecutive days, the Guo family moved out boxes of items. The eldest uncle of the eldest house personally led people to escort these items out of the city disguised as goods.

For the past few days, the entire Guo family has been very busy, and there have been many open and secret struggles.

As for the backyard garden, after being sealed off for many days, several mages finally gave up taking turns guarding it. However, the exorcism formation they had set up was not withdrawn, and the garden remained peaceful for several days.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed. The day after Guo Shuangjiang came back from outside, the Guo family was in turmoil again.
