Cursed Mansion [Completed]

14. Sins of love...

yibo finally understand the mysteries of wei mansion. all that is left is to tie up loose ends...

they all converged in zhan's cottage after the shocking events of the evening - after lord wei ying confessed the truth.

"tell us everything. and do not leave a single detail out." said yibo.

he look straight into lord wei ying's dark eyes which are riddled with guilt.

"ziyi is..." said wei ying.

"tell us everything from the very beginning." said zhan.

"yes, starting from the diary." said yibo.

"hnngh...!" said qiren.

lord wei ying looks at yibo confused.

"what diary?" asked wei ying.

"there is a diary in your study room drawer and it tells of the story of a man who lost his lover to an illness..." said yibo.

lord wei ying's eyes go wide with surprise.

"you saw the diary in my study room that day i found you there, didn't you?" asked wei ying. 

"indeed." said yibo.

"how did you all find out about the diary?" asked wei ying.

"i saw it in a dream." said yibo.

"a dream?" asked wei ying.

"yes. and then i found it in your study room." said yibo.

lord wei ying stares at him incredibly.

"but now the real question... is what is written in the diary is truth?" asked zhan.

lord wei ying expels a brief sad sigh.

"yes..." said wei ying.

"hnngh...!" said qiren.

yibo and zhan stare at each other unbelievably.

'so everything about the diary from my dream turns out to be real?!' thinks yibo.

"there are so many questions... so many questions with little answers." said yibo.

"ask me. i promise to answer them all." said wei ying.

yibo stare into wei ying's brooding eyes. zhan gently lays his hand on yibo's shoulder.

"we'll ask the question gradually." said zhan.

"okay." said yibo.

"hnngh..." said qiren.

Mr. qiren also lays his hand on yibo's shoulder to show support. yibo feel bolder now knowing he have zhan and qiren with him.

"so, we'll start from ziyi. you said she is possessed by lan zhan's ghost." said yibo.

"indeed." said wei ying.

"does it mean that ziyi will need to be exorcised?" asked yibo.

"i don't know... but her life is in serious danger if we don't do something to save her." said wei ying.

"what do you mean?" asked yibo.

"ziyi will end up like the corpses in the crypt." said wei ying.

yibo suddenly feel his chest squeeze painfully and his breath seizes in his throat.

'i might lose my best friend?? forever?!' thinks yibo.

he try his best to stop the tears that are about to spill from his eyes but they stream down his cheeks. lord wei ying reaches out to touch his hand but zhan stops him.
