Owner

Bai Xueyan looked at him when he heard Cen Haorong's question. "I asked some people about this before, and they said that the late mistress was fond of purple flowers. So, she had 'purple' in her children's names… and so is their home." He explained.

"Purple flowers?" Cen Haorong muttered and looked at the garden of the Purple Old Manor in the picture. "But, there were not even a purple flower here?" he said and showed Bai Xueyan the picture.

"Really?" Bai Xueyan was surprised and took the picture to look. "Strange…" his brows knitted. If the late mistress loves purple flowers, then there should be purple flowers planted in their home.

So, why there wasn't even just one of it? This is puzzling… but –

"Let's set this aside for now." Bai Xueyan turned to Cen Haorong. "Let's look for more clues." He told him.

"Yes!" Cen Haorong nodded and continued reading the report about the Purple Old Manor.

…

"Ai…" Su Yu heaved a sigh after he tried to twist open the doorknob of the front door, but as expected, it won't budge. It was as if it was stuck by a super glue.

Well, maybe it was considering how old the Purple Old Manor is…

"Hmm… calm down, everyone." Su Yu spoke when he read his audience's comments filled with worry and concern. "The ghost didn't appear and just trying to sneak around. My junior and I are still safe." He told them. "But… since we can't do anything for now, let's have a storytelling while we explore the first floor of the Purple Old Manor." He said.

"Senior?" Duan Yuan called.

Su Yu turned to him and patted his shoulder to reassure him. "We'll be fine." He whispered as his eyes glowed red while he scanned their surroundings. "Let's look around and find an exit." He said and blinked, where his eyes don't glow red anymore.

"Alright." Duan Yuan agreed. This is the only thing that they can do right now.

Su Yu is an ordinary person. It was already fortunate that he isn't scared even with what happened just now. But, Duan Yuan knows that he has to find a safe place for Su Yu while he deals with the evil ghost since they are not able to return home tonight with them trapped here inside.

Su Yu heard Duan Yuan's agreement and he smiled, satisfied. How sensible! He thought, then turned back to his audience. "Well, I forgot to say it earlier, but tonight we are exploring the Purple Old Manor." He spoke as he aimed the camera at the front where he and Duan Yuan are walking down a hallway. "But… who can tell me the history of the Purple Old Manor? Who is its owner?" he asked the online audience. "And, why is it called 'Purple Old Manor' when it isn't even purple color?" he added.

"Well, I only know that the Purple Old Manor was owned by the Lei family. But, they migrated overseas and up until now, no one still has bought the Purple Old Manor."

"I know the Lei family! Well, I looked them up a few days ago when the rumors about the Purple Old Manor exploded. The Lei family's former master and mistress are named Lei Zitian and Ji Zixin. The Lei family was famous before and Lei Zitian was an only child. So, when he married Ji Zixin, there were many objections around them, especially his own family who wanted him to marry a young lady from a fellow wealthy family unlike Ji Zixin who is an orphan. But, Lei Zitian insisted on marrying Ji Zixin. The Lei family relented, but only to Lei Zitian keeping Ji Zixin a mistress. Naturally, Lei Zitian didn't agree and he eloped with her."

"The Lei family wanted to disown Lei Zitian, but how could they when he is the only heir? So, they urged Lei Zitian back. But how can he return? His wife will definitely suffer in secret after the Lei family showed their true colors. So, Lei Zitian didn't return to the Lei family and bought a manor with his own savings as his and his wife's home. Later, they had three children – two boys and one girl. One day, Lei Zitian's parents who are dying called him back. They wanted to see their grandchildren. So, Lei Zitian reconciled with his family. But, his home was now the Purple Old Manor since his wife named it. They only returned to the Lei ancestral home from time to time, until Lei Zitian's parents finally died and all the properties fell on Lei Zitian's hands."

"Lei Zitian naturally values his wife more than his family's wealth, so he equally divided the Lei family's properties to their children, except the Lei family's ancestral home still in his name."

"Wow… upstairs really researched well!!!"

"Yeah. I didn't know there was such a story behind the former master and mistress."

"You flatter me *smiling emoji anyway, the three children grew up and Lei Zitian and his wife are also getting older. The two boys had their own families except the girl, so Lei Zitian and his wife decided to leave the Purple Old Manor with their daughter, who have yet to have her own family. Lei Zitian and Ji Zixin died, but not together. Although there was only a short time between their deaths. Ji Zixin left the world first, and she died in the Purple Old Manor. Meanwhile, Lei Zitian had his last breath in the Lei family's ancestral home."

"I don't know what to feel… I know that the former master returned to the Lei family's ancestral home because he wanted to apologize to his ancestors, but I also wanted for him to die where his wife died."

"I agree. After all, the Purple Old Manor is now their home…"

There were multiple sighs that can be seen on the screen.

"So now, the Purple Old Manor is in the daughter's name? What was her name again?"

"Lei Zixi. She is the second child. Li Zian is the eldest child, and Li Zihan is the youngest."

"They all have 'zi' (purple) in their names… a coincidence?"
