Chapter 245 Mrs. Yao's Taboo
After putting on his clothes and tying his hair, he walked out of the house and walked towards the hall.

"Aunt Yao." Arriving at the hall, Li Daoxuan bowed to Mrs. Yao who was sitting in the hall.

Mrs. Yao smiled and talked to him while drinking her morning tea: "Did you sleep well here last night?"

"Everything is fine." Li Daoxuan nodded.

"I slept peacefully, too." Madam Yao said with a smile, "Although you didn't stand guard outside the door for me last night, no one has entered the room since you came. I feel at ease and slept more soundly than ever before. I have to thank Daoxuan for this. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have such a leisurely moment."

Li Daoxuan looked at Madam Yao and saw that she was indeed radiant with health. Compared to the haggard look when they first met her, Madam Yao now looked much more energetic and still had her charm, looking like a middle-aged noble lady.

Although wrinkles are still visible between her eyebrows, it cannot conceal her former beauty. It can be seen that Mrs. Yao was a very beautiful and charming woman.

"Aunt Yao, you are too kind. Daoxuan actually didn't do much. The weirdness in the mansion has not been eliminated yet, so it's not right for Madam to say that." Li Daoxuan said modestly.

"It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal. If it's not cured, just stay for a few more days and leave after it's cured. Your master and I are good friends, he won't deny me this face." Madam Yao said with a smile, and then told the maids to prepare breakfast.

It was not until the breakfast was served that Li Daoxuan realized the value of the wealthy families in Yangzhou.

The types of food for breakfast alone were even richer and more diverse than the morning tea he had had in his previous life.

There are four kinds of porridge alone, not to mention other pastries, tremella soup and so on.

Each portion is not much, just enough for one mouthful, and people can take it away after they have tasted it all.

The little girl from the Yao family also woke up at this time, wearing festive clothes and came to say good morning.

When she saw Li Daoxuan, her eyes lit up, and she ran over to pull his sleeve and said, "Brother Daoxuan, can you tell me a story later?"

"Yu'er, don't be rude." Mrs. Yao, who was standing by, scolded when she saw this.

The little girl pursed her lips and let go of Li Daoxuan's sleeve.

She sat at the table drinking porridge, and her dark eyes looked at Li Daoxuan from time to time, as if she was thinking of something, but she failed to attract Li Daoxuan's attention.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan was thinking about asking Madam Yao about Yao Nianchun and Qian Bo. When he saw that the time was right, he bowed to Madam Yao and said, "Aunt Yao, can I ask you something?"

"Oh? Daoxuan, what do you want to ask me?" Mrs. Yao wiped the corner of her mouth, handed the handkerchief to the maid beside her, and then looked at Li Daoxuan with curiosity.

She had almost finished telling the story of what happened in this house, but she was surprised that Li Daoxuan suddenly came to ask her something.

"Daoxuan wants to ask Aunt Yao, is the eldest son Yao Nianchun in the mansion?"

"Yao Nianchun" Mrs. Yao's face suddenly turned ugly when she heard this name.

She looked at Li Daoxuan for a while, then asked slowly: "Where did you hear this name?"

"This..." When Li Daoxuan heard what Mrs. Yao said and looked at her expression, he immediately felt the air pressure in the room drop.

It seems that just as Qian Bo said, Yao Nianchun is a taboo for Madam Yao. Is Yao Nianchun in this mansion really a ghost? And Qian Bo is a real person? With mixed thoughts, he temporarily calmed down.

He took a deep breath and said to Madam Yao, "I heard it from your son, the eldest son of the Yao family."

"Asshole!" Mrs. Yao suddenly jumped up and slammed her hand on the table.

She stared at Li Daoxuan with eyes wide open and angry, her eyes were fixed on him, and the pain in her eyes was obvious: "This bastard is not my son! How can he be the eldest son! My son Yao Nianchun died a long time ago! The eldest son of the Yao family died more than ten years ago!"

"I was unaware of this matter and I am sorry for offending you, Madam. I hope you can forgive me." Li Daoxuan hurriedly apologized to Madam Yao upon seeing this. He never expected that Madam Yao would react so strongly when Yao Nianchun was mentioned. He also did not expect that Yao Nianchun was really dead, just as Qian Bo said.

Could it be that the Yao Nianchun he saw was really a demon? But his conversation and thinking did not seem to have anything to do with demons.

He had always regarded it as a ghost, and all the spells to exorcise it were ineffective. He had also seen Yao Nianchun's shadow, which was upright and honest, without any falsehood. If ghosts and evil spirits could reach this level, then why did Li Daoxuan come to exorcise demons and catch ghosts? He could just wait to be crushed to death by the other party.

Mrs. Yao was lost in thought, and after hearing his words, she slowly calmed down.

With the help of the maids, Madam Yao sat back on the chair, then looked out the door and sighed, "I was not angry at you just now. It's just that my son Yao Nianchun has died a long time ago. The one you saw was not my son."

"Daoxuan knows." Li Daoxuan nodded quickly.

"Alas," Mrs. Yao sighed.

Li Daoxuan thought about it and decided not to mention Yao Nianchun's matter again.

He waited until Madam Yao calmed down before speaking again: "Madam, did you know that there was a man named Qian in the mansion? He should have been called Uncle Qian."

"Uncle Qian?" Madam Yao frowned and thought for a long time. After that, she looked at Li Daoxuan in confusion. "There was a housekeeper named Qian in our mansion before, but he went out with my son Nianchun to do some work more than ten years ago and died outside together."

"Ah, this..." Li Daoxuan was stunned, but did not continue to ask. Looking at Mrs. Yao who had just calmed down, he was afraid that if he continued to talk, it would be like exposing someone's scars.

Qian Bo and Yao Nianchun are both fake, could it be that they are both evil spirits?
Li Daoxuan thought about it and felt that asking Mrs. Yao two questions actually resulted in more questions.

Qian Bo and Yao Nianchun died together, so who are the two people in the house now? Could it be that the two of them were attached to the Yao family and really came back together? But there is no ghost in the house, it doesn't look like a place where ghosts are lingering, and there have been many attempts to find them, so they should not be ghosts. But now it is confirmed that the two are indeed dead.
One ghost forms a house, two ghosts form a mansion, three ghosts form a realm, four ghosts form a domain, thousands of ghosts form the underworld, and crossing the Yellow Springs is the underworld.

If there are too many ghosts gathered together, it is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Yin energy gathers and a Yin land is formed, so the ghost energy will become stronger and it will be easier to give birth to evil and fierce ghosts.

Ghosts are rare in the world, but if you see them, most of them are fatal events, and this is the reason.

Unable to figure out the connection, Li Daoxuan prepared to perform a ritual to have a good talk with Yao Nianchun and Qian Bo, asking them if they had any unfulfilled wishes, which might provide some new clues.

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan stood up and said goodbye. Mrs. Yao was thinking about something and did not try to keep him. She only came to her senses after he left.

"Where's Daoxuan?"

"I just left."

"Alas, I was just thinking about talking to him about Nianchun. I didn't expect that he would run into that evildoer." Madam Yao mentioned the word "evildoer" with hatred in her mouth, "He killed his brother, so why are you still using his name now! I don't need him to be so hypocritical! Go and drive him out, don't let him stay in the house and pollute my ears."

"But Madam, this is the master's order." The butler came up and said helplessly, "Besides, the second young master is also filial and has never disobeyed Madam. Why can't Madam..."

"Snapped--!"

The slap was loud and crisp, and the butler covered his face and bent down to hide aside.

Looking at the furious Mrs. Yao, he didn't dare to say anything else.

"Who is the master in the family? I don't need his hypocrisy, nor do I need him as a fake son! What master, do you really think I don't know?! It's just that the master wants to train him as the eldest son, and let him inherit the entire Yao family in the future! Why! Why! My son died because of him, and now I want this evil creature to inherit my son's family business. How can I swallow this breath! I will not rest in peace even if I die——!"

Madam Yao was angry. This usually gentle and gentle woman now acted like a ferocious spirit, causing the maids and servants around her to tremble, fearing that they would be implicated the next moment.

At this time, the silent little girl sitting beside looked at Madam Yao and called softly, "Mother."

Mrs. Yao calmed down after hearing this, walked silently to the little girl and hugged her.

The lady sobbed softly and wiped away her tears with her hand.

"It's my fault. I scared Yu'er. It's all my fault."
