Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 438 The Remnant Soul is in Trouble

Is the old lady possessed by evil spirits?

Hearing this, Si He frowned.

How come something happened to the remnant soul after she had only been out for one day?

After all, it has the evil-protecting scales to conceal its breath, and it is the oldest member of the Guo family, with a lot of say, and Guo Shuangjiang has also been controlled. Logically speaking, it has more authority, so why did it let the mage get close to it?

However, thinking about it carefully, it did change a lot after it possessed the old lady, and its temper became difficult to control. It was not too surprising that clues were discovered, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

This disrupted her plans. Originally, she had hoped it would last until she got married.

"Mrs. Guo suddenly came looking for me. What's the matter? Did you tell me?"

Hearing Si He's question, Gao You replied, "She didn't say what she was talking about, she just said she came to see the young lady. She spoke in a rather sarcastic tone, and she even brought a mage with her. I guess she suspected the young lady was also being haunted by an evil spirit."

Si He curled his lips into a sneer and said nothing more.

The next day, after breakfast, she walked towards Fuhetang to see what was going on.

However, before he could get close, he was stopped by the guarding servants.

"Miss Nine, the old lady is not feeling well now and needs to rest. Don't disturb her."

Si He glanced at the unfamiliar nanny, and then looked around the exterior of Fuhe Hall.

The servants here have been replaced now, and they are no longer the same people who served the old lady before.

Fuhe Hall was very quiet, and from the outside it seemed nothing was unusual, but when a breeze blew by, one could smell the faint aroma of exorcising herbs and some smoke in the air.

"Dingling~Dingling~"

Because of the wind, bells could be heard in the yard.

Judging from the sound, it is the evil-suppressing bell.

In the yard, Si He did not feel any evil energy. It seemed that the remaining soul had either been dealt with or was temporarily safe and just trapped.

At this time, a group of people came to the corridor not far away. Leading them was the master of the third house, Guo Xingjiang. He brought a team of guards and several Taoist masters with immortal looks and walked towards Fuhetang.

A few days ago, Guo Xingjiang spent most of his time outside taking care of the affairs of the business. Now that the Guo family has encountered troubles one after another, he temporarily put down the things at hand and came back to help deal with family affairs. After all, his eldest brother Guo Shuangjiang has fallen ill, and his mother is in trouble again.

He saw Si He standing in front of Fuhe Hall from afar and couldn't help frowning.

When he came closer, she bowed to him and said, "Third Uncle."

He responded and asked, "What are you doing here?"

He remembered that his mother did not like this concubine's daughter from the eldest house, otherwise she would not have sent her away for so many years. If she had not found a good marriage, no one would have taken her seriously.

She said: "I heard that my grandmother was not feeling well, so I came to see her."

Guo Xingjiang said: "Your grandmother is indeed unwell and cannot see you. You should go back first."

He didn't have the time to waste talking to her and just drove her away.

Si He looked at them silently, without saying anything, and without staying any longer. After answering yes, she turned around and walked back.

Guo Xingjiang looked at her departing back, his eyes slightly narrowed. After a while, he whispered a few words to the mage beside him.

Hearing this, the mage also looked at the slender figure with a focused and serious gaze. After a while, he shook his head.

Seeing this, Guo Xingjiang couldn't help feeling disappointed.

After a while, her figure disappeared from their sight.

Guo Xingjiang then led them into Fuhe Hall.

After Si He returned to her residence, she learned etiquette and needlework as usual, but she asked Gao You and Gao Zi to keep an eye on the Guo family's movements.

After a few days, the people in the Guo family seemed to have forgotten her, and even Mrs. Guo didn't come over anymore.

Because of the Guo family's affairs, things got a bit out of hand.

Previously, Guo Shuangjiang of the eldest house, under the order of the old lady, transferred most of the property in the public treasury. Although this decision was a bit incredible, the old lady and Guo Shuangjiang had a lot of say in the Guo family at that time, and no one could object.

But now, Guo Shuangjiang has been in a coma for many days and the old lady is haunted by evil spirits. What is even more worrying is that no one knows where the transferred public treasury property has gone?

However, the person in charge of these things was inexplicably killed by an evil spirit while he was in the villa outside!

As for those who were escorting the goods, they were either betrayed by Guo Shuangjiang or were unaware of the situation. Even the escort route and the location of the goods were confused. The boxes that were escorted contained only ordinary goods, not gold and silver from the public treasury!

Guo Xingjiang sent people out to search, but after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find the storage place of the public treasury. When he asked the eldest lady of the eldest house, she knew nothing about it.

Now, not only the people in the second and third houses were extremely anxious, but even Madam Guo was getting anxious and panicked.

After all, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes had been lost before, and there had been quite a stir at the time. And now, only a short time had passed? Even the public treasury that had been moved out had disappeared!

How can I stay calm?

If the public treasury cannot be found, the people from the second and third houses will swallow up the first house!

After all, this money is not the private property of the eldest branch. The second and third branches also have a share. However, it is lost from the hands of the eldest branch again and again. How can one not be angry?

People from the second and third houses even suspected that it was the eldest house that was behind this, using despicable means to embezzle all the money from the public treasury!

As a result, the Guo family had been in a serious turmoil these past few days, and even violence broke out.

It is said that Mrs. Guo was beaten by Mrs. Guo II. After all, the housekeeping power is now in the hands of the second wife, but such a big thing happened, and new hatred and old grudges were added, so they started fighting.

Mrs. Guo San was also very angry and started fighting as well.

For a time, the Guo family was in chaos.

However, they also paid more attention to the conditions of the old lady and Guo Shuangjiang, and kept a close eye on them. Not only did they invite many magicians to come, they also invited famous doctors in the city, for fear that the two would be tortured to death, and then no one would know the whereabouts of the public treasury.

It was for this reason that the exorcist did not dare to be cruel to the old lady and could only suppress the evil spirit temporarily. After all, the old lady was old and could not withstand the tossing. If she was not careful, she could easily lose her life. Moreover, the evil spirit was very tight, so they had to adopt a relatively gentle method to exorcise it.

As for Guo Shuangjiang, the wizards and doctors invited by him all frowned and shook their heads after checking him out. He was not invaded by evil spirits, but his head was seriously injured. There was no good way to wake him up in a short time.

The Guo family is in chaos right now, while Xiangxueyuan is relatively quiet.

Just when Si He was thinking about how to "drain" the remaining confidence of the Guo family, Gao You sent the latest news he had obtained.

It is said that a newly invited wizard made a divination and said that the Guo family will have bad luck this year and will tend to lose money. If it is not dealt with in time, the consequences will only become more serious.
