I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded
Chapter 256 Lotus Tower (82)
"Pomegranate Wedding Dress?" Fang Duobing was stunned for a moment, then realized, "I've heard of this name! It's said that this wedding dress is woven from an extremely rare type of blood silk. Its color is as bright red as blood. Wearing it can make a person look radiant and unparalleled in beauty."
"These are just rumors spread by the people in town," Guo Qian said quickly. "Our Guo family has never said anything like this. We didn't want to publicize this funeral because we didn't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings."
"After so many years, why are these three brides wearing the same wedding dress?" Fang Duobing asked.
"My ancestors are from the Zhao tribe. This pomegranate skirt wedding dress is a treasure passed down from our ancestors. It must be passed down to every generation of our descendants." Guo Qian explained.
"I'm not interested in how people die. I just want to know where the lion soul is?" Di Feisheng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke. His voice was cold and without a trace of emotion.
"Lion Soul? What Lion Soul?" Guo Qian looked confused.
"He has six fingers on his right hand and his body has been burned, so he looks ugly. So, do you have any impression of him?" Di Feisheng pressed on step by step, his eyes like knives, as if he wanted to see through Guo Qian.
"I... I have never seen a person with six fingers." Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Guo Qian's forehead. His eyes flickered, as if he was hiding something.
Di Feisheng suddenly took a step forward, approaching Guo Qian. His voice was low and dangerous: "You'd better not lie to me, otherwise..."
"A Fei, calm down." Li Xiangyi interrupted Di Feisheng's words and said, "Master Guo, are you sure you haven't seen the person that Alliance Leader Di mentioned? This person is very important to us. If you know his whereabouts, please let us know."
"I... I really don't know." Guo Qian's body was trembling slightly, his eyes were wandering, and he didn't dare to look Li Xiangyi in the eye.
At this moment, a strange singing voice suddenly came from outside: "Lotus, lotus, blooming in the pond, red and white, pick one and give it to the bride..."
Guo Kun suddenly ran in from outside, his hair disheveled, his clothes askew, he had a silly smile on his face, and he was humming that strange song.
"Kun'er, why are you here?" Guo Qian's face changed and he hurriedly went to meet him.
"I came to see the bride." Guo Kun said with a silly smile, "The bride is so beautiful, I want to marry her."
"Nonsense!" Guo Qian's face turned pale. He grabbed Guo Kun's arm and said, "Someone, take him back to the room!"
"I won't go back! I want to marry my bride!" Guo Kun struggled and shouted.
"Second uncle, second uncle!" A young man's voice came from outside, and then a young man in a green gown ran in.
"Guo Huo, how do you look at people?" Guo Qian shouted angrily, "Hurry up and take your second uncle back!"
"Yes, father." Guo Huo hurried forward and tried to hold Guo Kun.
"I'm not going back! I want to marry my bride!" Guo Kun pushed Guo Huo away and rushed towards Li Xiangyi and others.
"Be careful!" Fang Duobing exclaimed and wanted to step forward to stop him.
"It's okay." Li Xiangyi waved his hand lightly, and a gentle internal force supported Guo Kun, preventing him from moving forward even half a step.
"The bride... I want to marry the bride..." Guo Kun was still struggling, his eyes were confused and he seemed to be out of his mind.
"Master Guo, what's happening to your brother..." Li Xiangyi asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all." Guo Qian sighed and said, "My second brother has been somewhat mentally retarded since he was a child, and it has become increasingly serious over the years. Every time he has an attack, only Kun'er can control him. Excuse me, everyone."
"Father, please forgive me. It is my fault for not taking good care of you. I will accept the punishment myself later." Guo Huo lowered his head and said with a guilty look on his face.
"Forget it, you take him back first." Guo Qian waved his hand, signaling Guo Huo to take Guo Kun away.
"Yes." Guo Huo responded, and together with several servants, he forcibly took Guo Kun away.
"Master Guo, have you ever consulted a doctor about your brother's condition?" Li Xiangyi asked.
"I've seen it, I've seen it." Guo Qian nodded repeatedly, "But all the doctors are helpless. They say it's a congenital dementia and there's no cure."
"Oh? Really?" A strange light flashed in Li Xiangyi's eyes. "I know a little bit about medicine. Could you let me treat your brother?"
"This...how can I feel embarrassed about this?" Guo Qian said hesitantly.
"It's okay. Saving the dying and healing the wounded is a doctor's duty." Li Xiangyi smiled and said, "If Master Guo trusts me, let me try."
"Then... I'll have to trouble you, Lord Li." Guo Qian hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
"Master Guo, it's getting late. Why don't we go check on your brother's condition first, and then go to the manor to appreciate the lotus flowers, how about that?" Li Xiangyi suggested.
"Okay, okay, I'll follow Lord Li's arrangements." Guo Qian said quickly.
"This manor owner with evasive words, the madman who suddenly showed up, the timid young master, and the weird housekeeper, why do they all look so weird?" Fang Duobing came close to Li Xiangyi and whispered.
"Three brides, wearing the same wedding dress, drowned in the lotus pond. What a coincidence!" Li Xiangyi said with a slight smile, "There must be some secret hidden here."
"Then what should we do now?" Fang Duobing asked.
"Let's go check on Guo Kun first, and then go check on the lotus pond." Li Xiangyi said, "I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
"Yeah." Fang Duobing nodded, "I also think there must be something fishy going on."
"Let's go." Li Xiangyi said, pulling Qiao Wanwan and walking out first.
Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng followed closely behind, and the group left the hall of Guo's mansion and walked towards Guo Kun's residence.
Along the way, Fang Duobing observed his surroundings. The architectural style of Cailian Manor was very different from that of the Central Plains, and it was full of exotic customs. The pavilions, towers, rockery and flowing water were very exquisitely arranged, but it gave people a gloomy feeling.
"Brother Li, what secret do you think this Cailian Manor has?" Fang Duobing couldn't help but ask.
"It's hard to say right now." Li Xiangyi shook his head, "But I have a feeling we'll know soon."
"I hope so." Fang Duobing said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with the people in Cailian Manor."
"Yeah, it's a bit strange indeed." Li Xiangyi nodded, "However, the stranger the place, the more likely it is to hide the truth."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at Guo Kun's residence. It was an independent small courtyard, filled with various flowers and plants, which looked very elegant.
"The young master is inside." Guo Huo pointed to a room and said, "I'll go call him right away."
"No need." Li Xiangyi stopped Guo Huo, "Let's go in by ourselves."
As he spoke, Li Xiangyi opened the door and walked in. Qiao Wanwan, Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng followed him in.
