"Monster, monster, monster!"

Wen Zehai fell to the ground, his face as pale as paper with fear.

The old lady frowned unhappily.

"Da Hai, what are you doing? You are making people laugh for no reason!"

She, an old woman, had the courage to come here, so why was he, a man, so scared?

Wen Zehai wanted to get up and run, but his legs seemed to belong to someone else. His calves kept trembling and he couldn't stand up at all.

"No, no, that's not it, Mom, please leave quickly, Yi'er...he has turned into a monster!"

The old lady was even more unhappy.

"What are you talking about? You didn't drink, so why are you sober? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for looking like this?"

Seeing that the old lady not only did not leave but also began to scold him, Wen Zehai had no choice but to grit his teeth and pointed at the corpse pit in the mass grave and said: "If you don't believe me, just look over there and you will know..."

The old lady looked in the direction of Wen Zehai's finger with confusion.

The next moment, she saw Wen Chengyi, a man with a human face and a snake body.

After seeing Wen Chengyi's appearance clearly, the old lady's eyes suddenly widened, and then she fainted from fright.

The subordinates who followed also saw the scene, and some of the timid ones were so scared that they wet their pants.

Some were so scared that they turned around and ran away.

The scene was in a complete mess.

Before Qu came over, she heard Wen Qianqian remind her not to look into the pit, so she didn't even look at it, but pretended to be panicked and supported the old lady.

"Madam, wake up!"

"Dahai, the old lady fainted."

When Wen Zehai saw the old lady fainted, his legs finally regained some strength.

The group had no time to bring Wen Chengyi back, and they staggered and dragged the old lady back to the mansion quickly.

When the old lady woke up, she still looked frightened.

She remembered what Qu said, that her people were frightened silly after they were sent out.

It turned out to be so horrifying.

After Wen Zehai asked Qu to take Wen Qianqian away, he dismissed the servants and came to the old lady.

"Mom, you've seen it too...Yier...is a monster!"

"So Qu Shi should not be what you said. She may have sensed something. Her people must have been really scared, so they did not bring Yi'er back."

"Can you rest assured now? I think everything is just a coincidence. It is impossible that Qu Shi found out that Yi'er was not her child, so she arranged for Yi'er to hang himself."

The old lady had seen Wen Chengyi's current appearance with her own eyes, and her suspicion towards Qu had faded a little.

"That's true, but I always feel that something is wrong."

"You must be overthinking it."

"Then Yi'er... no matter what, we still have to bring him back."

Wen Zehai's eyelids twitched twice.

"Mother, what are you thinking about? Didn't you see what Yi'er looks like? If people knew that he was actually a monster...if nothing else, my career as an official would be ruined. Your Majesty will not employ a minister whose son is a monster."

"Not only that, His Majesty might even suspect that we are monsters and behead our entire family!"

"You must be sober. You must not bring Yi'er back."

"Anyway, he has been expelled from the family tree. Let's just follow what outsiders think. We are extremely disappointed in him, so we didn't bring him back after he died."

"Also, in order to prevent others from finding out, the child has to destroy his face directly so that no one knows that it is Yi'er."

The old lady's hands began to tremble.

"But if your elder brother knew about this, wouldn't he be sad?"

Wen Zehai sneered: "Mom, you still care about my elder brother's spirit in heaven, but don't you care at all that our whole family will be implicated by this?"

The old lady closed her eyes and said with great sorrow, "Mother, I know. Just do as you say! As for Qu, we still have to keep an eye on her."

Wen Zehai nodded.

"Don't worry, Yin Yue is already ours. If Qu Shi really finds out something, Yin Yue will definitely know."

A gloomy light flashed across the old lady's eyes.

"If she really knew, it would be her death!"

"Then I will get busy. There are so many people seeing this today, I have to find a way to shut them up. I have too many things to deal with, so I won't accompany you."

"Go!"

The old lady closed her eyes, feeling extremely tired.

How did that happen?

How could her lovely grandson, the only one who could possibly have a bright future, be a goblin?

But if you think about it carefully, her eldest son and daughter-in-law both died when Wen Chengyi was born.

Perhaps this is a sign.

Thinking of this, the old lady's heartache eased a little.

After a moment, the old lady thought of something and said, "Someone come!"

Nanny Xie responded and stepped over the threshold.

"What do you want, old lady?"

"Did you carefully keep the egg I brought back?"

Aunt Xie found it strange.

As soon as the old lady came back, she asked her to keep the egg carefully and told her to find a way to hatch it.

But is it necessary for the old lady to lift up an egg again and again?

Aunt Xie couldn't help but ask curiously: "Madam, is there anything special about that egg?"

The old lady's face changed.

"Why are you asking this? I told you to take good care of it, so just take good care of it!"

"Yes, yes... Don't worry, I called the servant who used to raise chickens in the mansion and asked him to take them over and find a way to hatch them."

"Tell me as soon as they hatch."

"Yes."

The old lady felt relieved a little and asked Madam Xie to help her wash up.

That egg was laid by her, so it was her child, so naturally she had to take good care of it.

But she wouldn't even tell this secret to Madam Xie, the person she trusted the most.

At the same time, in Qu's yard.

Qu waited in the room for a long time, but no one came from the old lady's side. She knew in her heart that what Qianqian said had come true.

If he guided the old lady and Wen Zehai to see Wen Chengyi's body, they would not cause trouble for him.

But what did they see?

Qu couldn't help but ask about Wen Qianqian.

Wen Qianqian smiled and said, "Mother, Wen Chengyi is actually the reincarnation of a snake demon. They saw Wen Chengyi's true form, so naturally they dare not mention this matter again."

Qu's eyes widened.

"The true form of the snake demon?"

As soon as the words came out, Yin Yue stepped in.

"Madam, I will help you wash up."

Qu stopped talking and said with a smile, "Girl, weren't I telling you to have a good rest? Why are you still here to serve me? Where are Ginkgo and Yinxing?"

"Gingxing is injured and has been inconvenient these days. As for Yinxing, she went to warm milk for the fourth young lady."

"In that case, then you come."

Qu put Wen Qianqian on the small bed and asked Yinyue to take off the hairpins on her head.

Yin Yue continued with her actions while asking, "Madam, aren't you angry that the old lady punished Yin Xing like this today? In my opinion, you should make a big fuss about it, so that she won't treat you and us harshly in the future."

Qu's face suddenly darkened.

"Don't speak ill of the old lady!"

Yin Yue was startled and quickly knelt down.

"I was wrong. I just felt sorry for you because of Ginkgo..."

Qu sighed.

"Get up, I don't mean to blame you, but don't speak ill of the old lady anymore."

"Yes……"

Yin Yue stood up and quickened her movements.

After Qu lay down on the bed, she quickly retreated and quietly went to Wen Zehai's study.

In the room, Qu was about to go to bed when she heard Wen Qianqian say, "Mother, don't sleep anymore. Go catch the adulterer!"
