Possessed 26-30 (Martial Arts Science Fiction Adult Novel)

Part Three: The Storm in the Jia Mansion Part Four: The Young Master of the East Mansion Chapter 26: The Night Banquet at the Jia Mansion "Great! You are getting even more daring!" My face turned pale: "How dare you kill someone so blatantly to silence him!"

"It may not be done by Butler Qi." Lian Hufa said calmly, "Take a rest for a while."

"Stop?!" I said angrily, "Are you going to stop until Steward Qi kills all the people in the Jia Mansion?" Thinking that I had let a wolf into the house and even brought his fellow disciples into the Jia Mansion, Qi Niang and others would be in greater danger, and I couldn't help but feel murderous.

"Young Master," Lian Hufa sneered, "I don't know where you learned this martial arts, and I don't want to know! But if you think you can subdue Qi Pan, you are wrong! Although his martial arts have been abolished, he is full of poison, so don't mess with him!"

I turned around suddenly, stared at the Dharma Protector Lian, and grinned, "So you're saying I should be afraid of him?"

"Ah~" Lian Hufa sighed softly, lowering his eyebrows and eyes: "It's useless to say too much. With my current status in this sect, I may be able to suppress him. Let me ask first, okay?"

"You said it before," I calmed down a bit when I saw her begging softly, "You are not allowed to hurt anyone when you enter the Jia Mansion."

"Yes." Lian Hufa answered and said no more.

"Pah!" A thick, sticky hand landed on my shoulder. The short and fat man said proudly: "If he is the one who harmed you, I will help you!"

"Take your dirty hands away!"

I don't know where the anger comes from. Could it be that I can no longer tell the difference between the eldest master and myself? Perhaps it is because I was the one who introduced Lian Hufa into the Jia Mansion, and I bear the moral responsibility?

"My injury is not a problem anymore." Seeing me turning around and leaving, the Dharma Protector said coldly.

I turned around and said, "That is to say..."

"Yeah." She didn't even raise her head.

My heart skipped a beat and I felt mixed emotions, so I didn't know what to say. What was originally a matter of great excitement ended in a tense atmosphere, and the final decision was made. As to whether I came to find her or she came to find me, I won’t go into details right now.

"You guys should handle the matter that the people from Jia Mansion are asking about on your own."

This sentence shows that I am still angry. Such a small matter shouldn't be difficult for her, right?

Xiaoyin's death was actually suppressed secretly. The night banquet at the Jia Mansion was held as scheduled, with laughter and joy everywhere in the mansion and the lights on. Only a few maids in my room knew that Xiaoyin was missing. Although they behaved as usual and did what they were supposed to do, they were obviously very cautious and even spoke to each other in a low voice, but no one came to ask more questions.

The evening banquet was held in the garden. I felt uncomfortable thinking that Xiaoyin might have died nearby. The others were unaware of the inner situation, but they were talking and laughing, and the maids holding lanterns and the boys carrying wine played around from time to time, making the whole place full of joy. From the long corridor to the Moon Gate, there are red lanterns hanging along the way. People were coming and going, making it very lively.

"Brother!"

I looked back coldly and saw a young man in bright clothes bowing to me randomly, pulling the corner of the maid's clothes beside him, and walking to the other side. As he passed by, the busy maids screamed, not knowing what he had done.

"The Madam is here!"

From afar, I saw a beautiful lady of medium stature dressed in fine clothes, accompanied by a group of maids, walking towards me. She stopped and walked along the way, giving instructions. When she came to me, she suddenly looked up and said, "Oh, Yun'er is here early? Let me see!"

The jade-like face came closer, and I felt a slight chill on my jaw. Her soft hand touched me briefly, then moved away: "You really look much better. You should have a few drinks today!"

Amidst her sweet laughter, she suddenly yelled, "Sheng'er, what are you doing?!"

The young man in bright clothes smiled and said, "I am just having fun, you have nothing to do with me."

The lady sighed slightly and her eyes slowly moved across my face. In an instant, her dreamy black pupils and bright complexion were deeply imprinted in my heart. I was stunned and thought to myself: I didn't expect that such a beautiful woman could be such a lewd and vicious woman! I’m afraid Xiaoyin’s death has something to do with her, right?

But she asked, "Is the old lady ready?"

Granny Lin beside her said, "Yes, I'm coming right over." As she said that, she couldn't help but smile, "Isn't that right?"

There was a large group of people at the garden gate, looking bloated and walking slowly towards them. There were women wearing cloud-like belts and slanting hairpins, and their buns were piled up side by side, competing for beauty. In the middle stood an old lady with a kind face. She was none other than the old lady of the Jia family.

"Really?" The eldest lady said with a smile, "I said that no one in the other rooms was to be seen - they all went to the old lady's place!"

A well-dressed maid joked, "I say, you can't be jealous today, it's someone's birthday!"

Granny Lin pulled the maid secretly, but the eldest lady didn't see it. She sneered and said, "Why should I be jealous of an old lady? Mr. Li, are you out of your mind?" As she said that, she took a shaky step and went to meet him.

The old lady of the Jia family seemed unaccustomed to such lively scenes. She turned around clumsily and had to be helped to take a seat. He kept nodding his head around, and when he saw me, he raised his hand, but his hand was blocked by several people kneeling in front of him to pay their respects. The figure moved away, her hand still raised in the air, Xiao Jing whispered: "The old lady is calling you over."

"Hey, where's Qi Niang?" I asked as I walked. I regretted it as soon as I said it. Why did I have to ask Xiao Jing when there were so many people to ask?

Xiao Jing smiled and covered her mouth: "In the past, Qi Niang always came late and left early, you know that."

I suddenly realized: Qi Niang has a unique personality, why would she hang out with this group of women? He then shouted, "Stop laughing!"

"Who's laughing again?!" Xiao Jing turned around, and indeed, she was stern and serious, like a jade-faced little Bao Gong.

"I'll deal with you when I get back!" I threatened.

"You, you..." Xiao Jing suddenly remembered something, her eyes reddened: "If you continue to bully me like you did the other day, I, I..."

"What do you mean by you, you, me, me? Be careful not to be seen."

This trick worked very well. Xiao Jing really lowered her head and followed closely without causing any more trouble.

After greeting the old lady and listening to her holding my hand and talking to me like a loving child for a long time, I sat down beside her. A concubine asked a few questions with a smile, then tactfully stepped aside, and the eldest son's mother moved over to sit.

"mother!"

There were many people talking, so she didn't say much. She just held my hands tightly in her palms and comforted me silently. Our four hands were intertwined under the table. Although it was a deep mother-son love, it also seemed like a secret affair. My heart was pounding and I tried my best to suppress the evil thoughts that were absolutely inappropriate. However, my hands were held tightly by her and it was inconvenient to pull them out. My arms fell on her soft and round thighs, and even through the cloth, I could still touch the fatal flesh.

At this moment, I couldn't help but look at her carefully: her breasts were slightly prominent, her shoulders were narrow and her waist was weak. At first glance, she was just an ordinary frail woman, but her face was gentle and resentful, and when she raised her head and looked intently, her round buttocks and crossed legs, and the wrinkles in her skirt showed an indescribable restrained charm, just enough to put her in front of the table in the corner, whip and ravage her, and enjoy the ultimate pleasure of being weak and delicate.

While he was daydreaming, he felt a slight pain in his armpit. It was Jia Yun who poked him with his finger, and the chess girl stood in front of him with a smile on her face.

I was overjoyed and said, "Chess lady!"

I glanced at Xiaojing and saw a faint smile on her face. She was trying hard to turn her face away. I couldn't help feeling a little hot on my cheeks, and she stammered, "You're here." I thought to myself: You're finally here. During the few days since I returned to the Jia Mansion, Qi Niang has not come to see me once. I heard that she went to the East Palace to play chess.

The East Palace was originally the residence of Jia She, the father of Jia Sidao, separated from here by a lake. After Jia She's death, his old mother, Lady Tang, was still alive. For some reason, Lady Tang treated her illegitimate grandson Jia Sidao as an enemy and hardly allowed Jia Sidao to live in the same palace. Jia She originally had a daughter, whose nickname was Yuanhua. Her biological mother died early, and she was raised by Lady Tang since childhood. Although they were called grandparents and grandchildren, they were as close as mother and daughter. After Yuan Hua entered the palace, he was favored overnight, and Lady Tang was even respected as the queen mother. How could Jia Sidao dare to fight against her? He simply brought his biological mother, Hu, who was driven out of the Jia Mansion early in her life, and built another mansion, which is the Jia Mansion in front of us. Here, the old and the young are together, and the family is happily reunited, and a new world is created. But the branches and leaves cannot be separated from the trunk, and the newly built Jia Mansion is controlled by the East Mansion in every way. Therefore, when the "East Mansion" is mentioned, everyone in the Jia Mansion changes color. But for some reason, the chess girl came to the East Palace to play chess?

Before the chess girl sat down, there was a loud "bang". Everyone looked in surprise and saw a bunch of fireworks exploding. The beam of light shot straight into the night sky, and suddenly expanded into an umbrella shape. The light spots scattered and fell rapidly into the crowd, scaring the maids and servants so much that they jumped to avoid it and screamed.

The second son, Jia Sheng, immediately shouted, "May the old lady live as long as the Southern Mountains!" He did not follow the order of precedence and rushed to pay his respects to the old lady of the Jia family first.

He had just bent down when he heard a cricket chirping near his waist. The sound disappeared in an instant. Jia Sheng screamed "Ah!" and pounced to the ground as if he was grabbing a treasure, covering his hands with his hands for fear that the cricket would escape.

As everyone was laughing, the maidservant of the Li family, who had just been rebuked by the eldest lady, cheered: "The second young master has really paid his respects to the old lady this time!"

The old lady of the Jia Mansion hurriedly said, "Get up quickly, get up quickly! Be careful not to dirty your clothes."

The eldest lady also laughed, "It's a rare occasion for him to fall. This can be considered as his filial piety." She looked around, as if she was very pleased with Li.

Mrs. Li was flattered and proud for a moment, and said with a smile: "It would be great if the eldest son could also come and pay his respects in this way!"

This time no one responded to her words. Li realized that she had said something wrong and retracted her head.

The eldest son's mother gently pushed my waist with the back of her hand. I immediately understood and was about to get up, but everyone was silent and looked towards the garden gate.

"Someone is coming from the East Palace!" a maid whispered.

The lantern followed the winding path and illuminated the two women to the table.

"This is the birthday gift from the old lady of the East Palace to Aunt Hu." One of the middle-aged servants took a gift box from the maid behind her and placed it in front of the table. She stepped back a few steps and looked around. She frowned and said, "What a lively scene. The old lady said that the beginning of next month will be the tenth anniversary of the master's death. It is not appropriate to put up lights and decorations. Let's remove it quickly!"

Everyone in the Jia family knew that the master she was referring to was not Jia Sidao but Jia She, Jia Sidao's father. However, she still addressed Old Madam Jia as her concubine in her early years, which was like a slap in the face and humiliation.

Old Madam Jia looked gloomy, but nothing could be seen. The eldest lady's face turned pale and blue, and she sneered, "The old lady is too controlling. Since the old master's death anniversary is at the beginning of next month, then we should observe the mourning period next month. Now it's the old lady's birthday, and no outsiders were invited. The whole family gathered together, but the old lady is upset?"

The East Palace maid said expressionlessly, "Empress Jia is observing restraint in the palace, can't you guys just let loose?"

Hearing this, the eldest lady stood up suddenly with anger, her chest heaving up and down, and her hands on the table shaking.

Everyone was staring at them worriedly. After a while, the eldest lady seemed to have calmed down her anger and said in a hoarse voice, "Come on, clear the table and help the old lady back to her room to rest!"

"Yes!" The servants in the inner courtyard, led by Granny Lin, gathered together in response.

When the maid in the East Palace saw this, she smiled coldly and tried to turn around and leave.

“Wait a minute!”

The servant of the East Palace turned around and asked, "Young Madam, do you have any other instructions?"

The eldest lady's beautiful eyes were fixed on her, and the servant girl from the East Palace looked a little uneasy. The eldest lady smiled slightly and said, "Are the clothes you are wearing custom-made by the Nian family?"

The servant of the East Palace did not expect that the Madam would ask such a trivial matter, so she raised her head and said, "Yes, what's the matter?"

The eldest lady smiled coldly, "The clothes made by the Nian family are plain on the outside and bright on the inside, and the lining must be bright red. Since you want to abide by the rules, I will help you to abide by them to the end!" Suddenly she gritted her teeth and shouted with angry eyes, "Come here, strip her clothes off for me, and don't leave any bright-colored clothes!"

Some big-footed women with rough hands and feet surrounded them in response. The East Palace maid's face changed drastically: "Who dares to come up? Don't you want to live?"

Granny Lin stepped forward to persuade him, but the eldest lady pretended not to see him. With a stern face, she shouted, "Tear it off!"

The old women could no longer hold back, and upon hearing the news, they immediately rushed forward, grabbing the East Palace maid and twisting her around, creating a very chaotic scene.

I was both surprised and amused, thinking: This servant girl from the East Palace was so rude, she deserved this disaster.

During the struggle, an old woman stretched out her thick arms nearby. She couldn't reach the maid from the East Mansion, so she raised her palm and slapped her loudly. The other maid from the East Mansion stood nearby, shrinking back and shouting in panic, "Stop! Stop now!" But who listened to her?

A maid pulled the East Mansion maid's chest hard, and with a "hiss", half of her snow-white chest was exposed, and her round white breast bounced and trembled. Looking at the lining of her robe and her bra, they were indeed pink with flowers. I didn't expect that this East Mansion maid, who was over middle-aged, would wear such bright clothes. At the Jia Mansion, some people laughed and cheered, while others frowned and worried.

Suddenly there was a scream, and several old women who were surrounding the servants in the East Palace all fell to the ground. As everyone looked in surprise, they saw that the maid from the East Mansion was very agile. She jumped forward, pulled the servant girl from the East Mansion and walked away. I was shocked. I didn't expect that the maid from the East Mansion who had been keeping her head down and not saying anything actually possessed martial arts skills! When her face was illuminated by the lantern hanging by the path, I was even more surprised: Isn’t this Xiaoying, the granddaughter of West Lake Ajiu? How did she end up working as a maid in the East Palace?

He heard the loud noises from the maids in the Jia mansion, and followed after them. The chess lady stepped forward, stopped everyone, and said to the Madam, "That servant was indeed rude. She has endured such humiliation, and that is enough. Why should the Madam bother with her?"

The eldest lady smiled, "I want to teach her a lesson today. How dare a lowly maid do what to a third-rank lady of the imperial court? How dare these old women and servants bully me? If I don't teach them a lesson, they will be even more embarrassed! - Since Qi Niang said so, then so be it!"

The chess girl listened silently for a moment, then smiled and slowly retreated. Granny Lin smiled and apologized, "The rules of the East Mansion have always been strict, so we should just follow them. But the servants are ignorant and don't know the difference between master and servant. After a few times, they have become more and more presumptuous. Madam, please calm down and sit down and rest for a while."

At this time, the maids of the Jia family came back one after another. They had let out some of their anger that night and gathered together to chat and laugh. Old Lady Jia left quietly, surrounded by several maids and servants. The banquet had just been disrupted by the East Mansion, and Old Lady Jia was ashamed. The First Lady was not in a position to dissuade them, so she just had the wine and food sent to the old lady's room.

As the crowd was still gathering, a maid's voice suddenly came to mind: "Fourth Aunt, what's wrong with you? Wake up, wake up!"

A woman was lying on the ground, curled up. Everyone laughed: "Fourth Auntie just drank a few cups, but she couldn't do it anymore."

Qi Niang was surprised and walked to the side of the Fourth Aunt and asked the maid to lift her up. The fourth concubine had her eyes closed and was unconscious, her face was pale, and she did not look drunk.

The chess girl reached out her hand to feel her breath, but after a while, her hand trembled and she pulled it back. But he said nothing, and looked around with his bright black eyes.

Everyone was talking at once, and they all asked in surprise, "What happened?"

The chess lady murmured, "I'm gone!"

That means he is dead. The maid in her room pursed her lips and started to cry. The eldest lady hurried over, put her hand to feel the fourth concubine's breath, and pinched her palm, with a serious face: "She is really gone!"

I thought to myself, "Dead? Another one died!"

As I moved closer, Qi Niang happened to be beside me. I looked at her in confusion and heard her say in a low voice: "Yun'er, please remember the Eight Steps of Xingluo!" After that, she turned around and went to help take care of Fourth Aunt.

Eight steps of stars? I didn't understand what it meant and thought: Could it be a secret message between her and the eldest master? What does that mean?

After all, I couldn't figure it out, and seeing that everyone was in a mess, I couldn't help. So he went back to his residence with Xiaojing.

As I walked past the garden wall, I heard a muffled sobbing sound behind the rockery in the corner. I thought: Who is crying here? He waved his hand to signal Xiao Jing to be quiet, walked around the rockery, and saw a maid crying quietly on a stone bench in the distance. Who else could it be but Xiao Quan from the eldest lady's room?

I was filled with surprise and wanted to go up and ask, but I felt it was inappropriate. At this time, Xiao Jing quietly pulled my sleeve and pushed me back. I followed her back and listened to her softly explain, "Xiaoyin is Xiaoquan's biological sister. Xiaoyin is missing, so it's no wonder she's so worried."

I suddenly realized why Xiaoquan was not at the night banquet. It turned out that she was hiding here crying. Thinking that Xiaoyin was dead but she still didn't know the truth, she couldn't help but feel indescribable pity for her.

Everything was going on that night and my mind was in a mess. When I returned to the room, I felt quite uneasy. Being in the Jia Mansion, I couldn't help but care about some things, but I was getting deeper and deeper into it.

The top priority at the moment is to practice martial arts to detoxify, and then find an opportunity to sneak into the palace and rescue his senior sister. In the Jia Mansion, the person I care about the most is Qi Niang, followed by the maids in the house. As for the others, what does it really have to do with me?

Thinking this way, I vaguely feel that there have been many strange things happening in the Jia Mansion recently. Otherwise, why did Xiaoyin die for no reason and the Fourth Aunt also died of illness? If the eldest son's mother is in danger, should I save her or not? Where is the old lady? Where is Xiaoquan?

The only suspicious person in front of him is the butler Qi, but what is his intention in doing this?
