Chapter 2 There are ghosts (2)
These rumors are like sharp swords that have tortured Mr. Yuan.
Although he was very far away from his father and his father did not spend much time together, Mr. Yuan admired his father very much. When he was very young, he heard his mother say that although his father was a scholar, he was very strategic and had a plan to conquer the world with the commander. He was the right-hand man of the commander. His father looked like a gentle general in his heart. Later, the warlords' melee ended and his father came back. He soon started business and took home and sent him to study abroad. Some people said that his father was alienating him, but he thought that his father wanted his son to be successful. After all, he was the eldest son and the pillar of the Yuan family's future.
Therefore, Mr. Yuan did not believe in the rumors outside at all.
But the haunting continued. Within a year, two more concubines and their children died in the Yuan family, and the Yuan family seemed to be cursed.
"The two concubines were married by my father when he went home to do business after the melee. They were the third and fourth concubines. They each had a son. My two younger brothers were only in their teens. In a year, four people died!"
When Mr. Yuan said this, he covered his face with his hands and almost collapsed.
Ye Xian thought that this was true. After his father passed away, a daughter fell into the well. Then something happened to the girl's mother, the sixth concubine, and two more concubines and younger brothers died within a year. The Yuan family is so unlucky.
"Then what?"
Ye Xian thought about what he had given birth in the past five years. Mr. Yuan was at least ten years older than his actual age, and his face was exhausted. It seemed that he would be tortured a lot in the following days.
"The two concubines died in their own room with their respective children. The police have never found out the cause of death."
"How could it not be found?"
Ye Xian asked.
"There was no trauma and no poisoning reaction, and I died so calmly. Oh, before the accident, the two concubines said that they saw my father's shadow in the garden and said something nonsense. My mother also said that she wanted to invite the mage to come home to see it, but she didn't expect that something happened before the mage came."
"This is just the beginning. In the following days, everyone in my family lived in fear and no one dared to go to the back garden because everyone said that there was a haunted place. I spent more than a year careful, that is, more than two years ago, my father's fifth concubine also died."
"How many concubines do your father have in total?"
"My father is a filial son. Before joining the army with the Grand Marshal, he was worried that he would be the eldest of the three no queens. So he hurriedly married my mother to join the family. Less than a week after the marriage, he followed the troops. He only went home when I was five years old. When I saw him again, I was already ten years old. He got home and went home to marry two concubines. The second concubine died early and had no descendants. The third concubine and the fourth concubine each had a son, the fifth concubine and the sixth concubine and a daughter."
"Now, your father's concubines all died after he died, right?"
"Yes, after the fifth concubine died, I was very scared. I only had a seven-year-old brother and an eight-year-old sister. I was worried that something might happen to them, so I asked them to move into my yard and take care of me personally. After nearly two years of caution, these two younger brothers and sisters... disappeared last month."
"In other words, the only ones who are safe and sound in your family are you and your mother." Ye Xian thought of the old lady he saw last time, with kind eyes and devoted himself to eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name.
