Your Highness, the Empress Runs Away Again - C213 red tassel

After the child finished eating the bun, he opened his mouth.

“I heard from the elders that there was once a tragedy in this town.” His words were clear.

“A tragedy?” Yun Luo was shocked. No wonder this place was so lifeless. However, logically speaking, there should be tragedies everywhere, so why did it become like this? There must be a deeper reason for this.

“Yes.” The boy nodded.

“Then can you tell me what kind of tragedy it was? Who’s it to do with? ” Yun Luo thought that even though she didn’t have the ability to change the situation, she could still figure out the sequence of events. She might as well stay here and do something.

“I can’t remember. I’m still so young, so I don’t understand a lot of things.” The little boy pursed his lips.

Yun Luo could only sigh after hearing this. Sigh, she really shouldn’t make things difficult for an innocent child, it seems like she should find someone else to ask.

“Then where does the old man you’re talking about live?” Yun Luo asked.

The child pointed and said, “Walk along this road and past a medicinal shop. Then turn two corners. The poorest one is the one with the surname Xie.”

The road has been pointed out, and Cloudfall set off.

Nangong Yu asked from behind, “Aren’t you afraid that if you find out the truth, you’ll attract a fatal disaster?”

Yun Luo did not care, “Let’s not talk about whether there are ghosts or not, even if there are, they might not be able to kill me. Aren’t you curious about what is going on?”

People always had a special preference for gossip and gossip. They would feel uncomfortable if they didn’t investigate it clearly, even if it had nothing to do with them.

“I shall sacrifice my life to accompany you then.” Nangong Yu smiled coyly.

Wherever she went, he would follow her. He would resolve her troubles and accompany her to experience the warmth and coolness of the world. This was love.

“Right, this is my good husband.” Yun Luo held onto her umbrella as she slowed down. Nangong Yu followed behind, and the two of them walked side by side, looking for the ‘Granny Xie’ that the child had mentioned.

Nanny Xie was blind, and there were no superfluous people in her house. Usually, she would rely on the alms of neighbors to lead a miserable life.

“All the outsiders love to ask about this. Now that I think about it, it has already been thirty years.” Grandma Xie sighed.

“Grandma, please tell me.” Yun Luo’s tone was respectful.

Grandma Xie revealed a troubled expression. “But this old woman doesn’t dare to say. This town has been cursed before, and it’s bad luck. If I do, I’m afraid that the vengeful spirit will pester you and cause you all to be unable to live a peaceful life.”

“However, we have come here specifically to inquire about this matter. Granny Xie, if you don’t tell me, I’m afraid that in the future, I will be too preoccupied to sleep, and the situation might become even worse.” Yun Luo smiled helplessly, “Please speak, we will bear the rest.”

There was no other way. The more the other party rejected her, the more she wanted to know. Besides, this mother-in-law seemed kind and amiable. As long as she tried to be soft with her, she would definitely surrender.

As expected, Grandma Xie knew that the other party didn’t care about life and death. Since he was so stubborn, she didn’t try to hide it anymore and recalled the events that happened many years ago.

“Thirty years ago, this town was not called Ghost Woman Town. It was no different from other towns.” Grandma Xie paused for a moment. “Until the town’s wealthy merchant Lady Chu marries a beautiful concubine.”

“A concubine? Looks like it has something to do with the house fight. ” Basically, Yun Luo thought, a large room wouldn’t let a side room be peaceful.

“That concubine was someone he met when he was out in the world doing business. Steward Chu fell in love with her, so he brought her back to the mansion to settle down.” “That concubine is called Hong Ying. I’m blind, so I’ve never seen her myself. However, I’ve heard from the surrounding people that she’s beautiful, even more beautiful than a fairy from the heavens. As a result, Lady Chu dotes on her.”

It was understandable that she had a perverted personality. It seemed like she was about to get to the exciting part.

The beauty of the red tassel is one thing, but its kind heart is much better than that of a Bodhisattva. I have always remembered that when I was ill, the red tassel invited a doctor to treat me. Grandma Xie was smiling as she said this, but the next moment, her tone turned into one of sadness. “But we don’t like her, and we think that not only did she take away the old master’s heart, she even did things that would make the old master lose his family, and was always against her. However, Hong Ying’s heart is kind, and she has always tolerated it.

“Nanny, please continue.” Yun Luo gradually blended into the story, as if she was personally witnessing a beautiful woman trying to save the world.

“The main house fears that the red tassel is pregnant with the child and that its own status is not protected, so it was framed as having an affair with the butler.” The main house fears the red tassel being pregnant with the child and its own position is not protected, so it was framed as having an affair with the butler.

There was no need to talk about what kind of scene it was. Any man who saw it would feel furious.

“So, what did Steward Chu do with the red tassels in the end?”

“Since this happened, I should have sent her to the government. But Steward Chu still cherished the memory of the red tassel, so I let her live in a rundown house in the government and serve her three meals a day.”

“Hur hur, that man is quite an infatuated person.” Yun Luoshen sighed. Normally, these kinds of stories were told by men who would hurt their women’s hearts thoroughly. However, this story was different. Emissary Chu had a deep attachment to the red tassel.

However, no matter how deep one’s emotions were, when the red tassel’s body was tainted by someone, it would not be able to withstand it.

Women tended to view chastity as very important. Even if Steward Chu didn’t care, she would still care about it. How could a woman so beautiful and kind, such a perfect woman, tolerate flaws?

“The main house is not satisfied yet, she had to put the red tassel to death.” The main house is not satisfied yet, she had to put the red tassel to death. Nanny Xie’s words were filled with infinite regret, but also loathing for the mansion.

It was true that he should hate a woman with such a heart like a snake and a scorpion. However, on second thought, it was only because her possessive nature was too strong and she couldn’t stand her husband falling in love with her that she had to torture him to death.

“But what does this have to do with the ghost woman? Did you cause a lot of trouble in the end? ” Since there was a fox like Yun Luo in this world, there was naturally a ghost. Besides, if the red tassel was wronged like this, then it must have become an evil ghost after it died.

“That’s right, the red tassel died at night. Before she died, she made a poison oath that no one in this town is allowed to go out during the day. If they do, she will pester them at night and make them beg for death.”

Yun Luo smiled bitterly. “Her death has nothing to do with the people in the town. Why would she make such a vicious oath?”

Grandma Xie shook her head. “Actually, it’s not that much of a problem. At night, it’s usually quiet. Thus, when the main house was torturing her, her screams resounded through the air, but no one went to save her.”
