This middle-aged woman, surnamed Zheng, was a local village official. We called her Sister Zheng.

Hearing her say that the Ge Xueying family was very strange, Jiang Yongguang quickly inquired, "Sister Zheng, how are they so strange?"

Sister Zheng told us that the Ge Xueying family were all women. There had never been a man in the house, and it had been like this for generations. Everyone in the area knew about it.

It was said that Ge Xueying's ancestors were very wealthy. They were well-known landlords for miles around. Her maternal grandmother's maternal grandmother was the only daughter in the family, and because there was no one to inherit such a large family business, she simply recruited a son-in-law, finding a handsome scholar from a respectable family to come and live with them and carry on the Ge family line.

This scholar who joined the Ge family had a child within a few years, but it turned out to be a daughter. It seemed the Ge family was destined to have no male heirs.

Two years later, the son-in-law suddenly died for no apparent reason. The mistress of the Ge family did not remarry. This left only one female child in the next generation of the Ge family, who was Ge Xueying's maternal grandmother's mother.

When this girl grew up, the Ge family was not as wealthy as before, but a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. They still had some wealth, so they recruited another son-in-law, hoping to continue the Ge family line.

Unexpectedly, the female head of the family in this generation still gave birth to daughters. She still didn't have a son. Unwilling to give up, she continued to raise two more children, but they were all daughters. The youngest of them was Ge Xueying's maternal grandmother.

The three daughters of the Ge family in this generation were known as the Ge sisters. It was said that the three sisters were all beautiful and stunning, causing a sensation at the time. Many romantic talents came to admire them, hoping to catch a glimpse of their beauty.

But at that time, it was a chaotic world, and people were displaced. It was difficult for the Ge sisters to survive in the torrent of the times.

The eldest and second sisters both died young before the age of thirty, without leaving any children behind. Only Ge Xueying's maternal grandmother was lucky enough to survive the war.

Because Ge Xueying's maternal grandmother was beautiful and stunning, there was an endless stream of men pursuing her. It was said that the men who came to propose marriage lined up outside the village.

However, her grandmother set a condition: the men who pursued her must join the Ge family and the children they had in the future had to be surnamed Ge.

At this time, the Ge family was no longer a wealthy family in the area. Their family fortune had declined, and there was not much left.

Although her grandmother was beautiful, people wouldn't necessarily become live-in sons-in-law just for her beauty.

In the end, only a few people agreed to join the family. Ge Xueying's maternal grandmother chose a satisfactory partner from these people, married him, and gave birth to Ge Xueying's mother. But unexpectedly, not long after Ge Xueying's mother was born, the son-in-law disappeared for no reason.

Hearing this, we all felt that things were too strange. It seemed that the men who joined the Ge family had a miserable end, either dying suddenly or disappearing for no reason.

Uncle Mei couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Ge Xueying's maternal grandfather also died suddenly?"

Sister Zheng said with a grim expression, "Although there's no news of him until now, everyone thinks he must be dead! Otherwise, how could a perfectly healthy person just disappear? Moreover, the older generation all say that Ge Xueying's maternal grandmother killed her maternal grandfather, and then buried the body in the yard! Many people say that!"

Hearing this, I felt chills down my spine. Why would Ge Xueying's maternal grandmother kill her maternal grandfather for no reason?

Moreover, according to this logic, did Ge Xueying's maternal grandmother's maternal grandmother also kill her husband?

What was the motive for killing?

At this time, Sister Zheng continued to tell us the story of the Ge family.

After Ge Xueying's maternal grandfather suddenly disappeared, Ge Xueying's maternal grandmother raised her daughter alone. Because the Ge family had good genes, this girl grew up to be a beautiful woman, no less beautiful than Ge Xueying's grandmother when she was young. She was Ge Xueying's mother.

But it was said that Ge Xueying's mother had a bad reputation. When she was young, she always liked to interact with men, often bringing different men back to the village, and these men would stay overnight at her house.

Ge Xueying's maternal grandmother turned a blind eye to these things and didn't care much. Later, something happened. Ge Xueying's mother's belly suddenly grew bigger, but she wasn't married at the time.

Getting pregnant before marriage was an extremely shameful thing in those days. She would be pointed at and scolded by the neighbors, and drowned in their spittle.

The villagers gossiped about Ge Xueying's mother every day, at first behind her back, and then directly to her face, pointing at her and gossiping.

Unexpectedly, Ge Xueying's mother was also a ruthless person. She pretended not to hear and walked around the village every day with her big belly, completely unaffected, eating and drinking as usual.

Later, the child was born. It was Ge Xueying. She also inherited the beauty of her mother and grandmother. She grew up looking like a water lily, with fair skin and a straight and tall figure. When she grew up, she became an even more beautiful woman than the big stars on TV.

However, perhaps because she had been gossiped about by the villagers since she was a child, Ge Xueying had a bad relationship with the neighbors in the village. She wouldn't speak when they met, always with a cold face, ignoring people.

The story of the Ge family ended here, and we didn't know how to evaluate it.

We could only say that the Ge Xueying family was indeed very strange!

At this time, I suddenly recalled what the singer Mu Mu had said, that he had been in love with Ge Xueying for a year and a half, but they had never slept together. He had only broken into Ge Xueying's bathroom while she was taking a bath, and she had directly pinned him to the ground.

There must be some unspeakable secrets in this, and this secret was likely related to the cause of death of her maternal grandfather and her maternal grandfather's father.

After a while, Jiang Yongguang asked Sister Zheng, "By the way, I heard that Ge Xueying's mother is also gone? How did she die?"

Sister Zheng shook her head and said, "I'm not too sure about that. Probably died of illness. The Ge Xueying family has conflicts with us, and we don't usually talk much. I only remember that one year there was a funeral banner hanging in front of Ge Xueying's house, and everyone knew that her mother was gone."

Jiang Yongguang nodded and asked, "By the way, does this Ge Xueying have any family martial arts? People from families like hers, whose ancestors were wealthy, must have some skills, right?"

Sister Zheng squinted her eyes and thought for a while, and said, "I seem to have heard the older generation say that the Ge family was good at using flying knives in the early days. When everyone went up the mountain to hunt together, it seems that someone had seen it, saying that the Ge family's flying knives were accurate, and they could stab a wild boar running very fast in the eye with one knife."

Hearing this, we knew we had found the right person.

The White-Clad Immortal's flying knife skills must have been passed down from her ancestors.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Zheng." Jiang Yongguang nodded to Sister Zheng and said, "Then we won't bother you. We'll go to the Ge family's old house and take a look ourselves."

"Okay, if you need any help, just come to me." Sister Zheng also said enthusiastically, and then turned from the fork in the road ahead and walked in the other direction.
