Chapter 61: Ghost in the heart

As soon as everyone rushed to the garden, they saw a few sturdy maidservants carrying a stretcher, coming out of the fourth lady's courtyard, and mother Gu followed behind with a panic expression.
Jiang Xiaolou looked from a distance, and at a glance recognized that the person lying on the stretcher was Mo'er. At the moment she was wrapped in a roll of mat, with her wet hair sticking out. A pale face, sallow face, eyes closed.
Seeing this situation, Wang Baozhen hurried forward and asked, "Mother Gu, what is going on?"
Mother Gu lowered her head and replied: "Auntie Wang, the stranger did something wrong yesterday. The young lady blamed it because she was angry for a while and said she wanted to send people out. Who knew this girl took it seriously, she cried in the middle of the night. The one who wiped his tears couldn't think of anything, quietly went out in the dark, and committed suicide by throwing himself into the well.
After hearing this, a shadow fell on everyone's faces. Mo'er is the son of the Xie family, and her parents are still slaves in the Xie Mansion. Although she is not the most outstanding of the girls, she is also considered to be smart and likable, and her popularity is always good. Seeing her dying like this, all the maidservants and mothers showed some sympathy on their faces.
When Xiaodie saw Mo'er's body, she felt her head bang, and her heart suddenly moved to her throat, and her body trembled. Mo'er was alive and kicking yesterday, but he is dead today.
At this time, the other four young ladies from the Xie family also rushed here. I heard that the dead people were still in Xie Yu's yard, and Xie Xiang's face was a bit unusually excited. She didn't care much, and grabbed Gu's mother and said, "Gu mother, how did the fourth sister scold me? Mo Er is always a cheerful girl, why would she commit suicide because of a few words?"
Mother Gu was impatient in her heart, but she didn't dare to show the slightest on her face. She just said respectfully, "Miss San, you know Miss Fourth is a human. On weekdays, even an ant is reluctant to trample to death. The stranger is broken. She just rebuked her beloved Yupei slightly. The servant girl thought, Xu Shimo'er, a girl who has too much self-esteem, has always had too many good days. If she doesn't understand that the lady is doing her good, it will be gone if she can't think about it."
Xie Xiang opened his eyes for a moment, snorted from his nose. Before he could speak, he only heard a woman howl: "My daughter!" As he said, a blue figure came straight in from the garden gate. Stumbled and climbed all the way, almost fell on Mo'er. The other servants looked at each other and recognized that this person was Mo'er's biological mother Zhang.
Zhang's face was full of tears and a look of grief and indignation. He raised his head and stared at mother Gu fiercely and said, "You said, I am a good daughter, why is it so gone?"
Mother Gu's expression was a bit eccentric. She took a slight step back and said guiltily: "Mother Zhang, no one thought about this. You were not in the garden yesterday. I don't know how many things have happened. Mo'er was reprimanded by the master. , And accidentally smashed Miss Fourth’s jade pendant. Although the young lady didn’t scold her much, she felt sorry for her. She said it was her own life, no wonder others."
Jiang Xiaolou's eyes moved, things in the garden...
Zhang cried even more miserably, spitting to the face without mercy. While crying, she turned her head and said to Wang Baozhen: "Auntie, you have to be the master of my daughter! For so many years, the slaves and maidservants have done their best in Xie's house. They are also conscientious and hardworking, and there is no slack for a while. At this age, we are just such a single seedling. Now she just turned her eyes and left. How can we live as a couple in the future?"
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help feeling miserable. He only heard Xie Xiang exclaimed, and he suddenly realized: "According to what my mother said just now, could it be because of everything that happened during the day yesterday?"
Mother Gu's face turned pale, and she said as if she didn't say anything: "Miss San, don't you dare to say that. The slaves and maids don't mean that."
But everyone has heard it clearly. Although Ms. Gu said at the beginning that Mo Er was the jade pendant of Miss Fourth, she committed suicide in fear of sin. But no matter how careful the maidservant in the house is doing things, there will always be times when she makes mistakes, not to mention that although the fourth lady is a little arrogant, she rarely loses her temper, and does not care about the playthings such as hosta and jade pendant. It's not that Mo Er didn't miss it before, why is it so serious this time? Thinking about it, this is just an excuse. It is very likely that it was because of what happened yesterday that Moer was born to die. In this way, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Xiaolou.
Just yesterday, Moer accused Jiang Xiaolou of pushing her young lady down to the lake. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaolou proved his innocence with a poisonous bee. Miss Si can of course say that she didn't see anything, but Moer, who would believe her? Everything became her fault, even the master severely reprimanded it. Mo'er was frustrated, and it was very likely that he couldn't think about it.
Xie Yue's charming and wonderful eyes moved, and she couldn't help but say to Zhang with regret: "Mo Er is a good girl. She has always been diligent and responsible. What happened today is just an accident. Don't worry. , We will bury her well. As for your husband and wife..."
Having said that, she looked at Wang Baozhen. Wang Baozhen nodded and said, "Since your only daughter is gone here, we will be responsible to the end. It's just that in the public, crying and crying is not proper after all. It is passed out. People outside do not know what to pass on, let Moer I also feel uneasy. In my opinion, Mama Zhang, you will lead Mo'er back first, and we will take care of all the follow-up funerals."
Mama Zhang cried and led Moer away. Wang Baozhen turned his head and stared at Mama Gu sternly and said: "Why hasn't the fourth young lady been showing up yet such a big thing has happened?"
Mother Gu had already thought about her excuses, and said, "This kind of thing happened early in the morning, and the young lady was very sad, and she shed tears for Mo Er, saying that she didn't notice that the girl was wrong, and it was so. A young life was ruined, and I might be crying in the house now."
Wang Baozhen lowered her face and said, "In any case, I have to make this matter clear to Miss Fourth." After that, she had already moved towards the courtyard where Xie Yu lived. Mother Gu glanced, feeling anxious, stomped her foot, and followed along.
The other people looked at each other and looked at each other. Xie Yue was meditating. Of course, the third lady Xie Xiang beside her couldn't stand anymore, and she took Xie Yue's arm and said, "Sister, let's go and take a look. How can we miss such a lively thing."
Seeing what she said, it seemed like Mo'er's death was a happy event. Maybe Miss Boudoir's life was too boring, and even such unfortunate things could make her so excited. Seeing that Xie Xiang was so rude, Xie Yue couldn't help but scolded softly: "Sanmei, what are you talking about? You don't know how this kind of thing happened at home, how can my aunt be able to get rid of the relationship. You don't help to divide the worry, still There is a booze here. My auntie really hurt you in the past." After saying this, she snorted and fell off Xie Xiang's hand and walked away quickly.
Xie Xiang glanced at Xie Yue's back and couldn't help but curl his lips, leading the girls and mothers, turned and went straight to the fourth lady's yard.
In this way, only the second lady Xie Rou, the fifth lady Xie Chun, Jiang Xiaolou, Li Xuening and others remained in the entire garden.
Xie Chun showed fear on her face, and said to the second lady: "Second sister, the family is so good, how could I have killed a person for no reason? My father is not at home now, what can I do?"
The second lady Xie Rou was taken aback: "Father is not here, where did he go? Wasn't she still at home yesterday?" But she turned her eyes to Jiang Xiaolou.
When Jiang Xiaolou asked her about it, he smiled and said, "Uncle Xie said that he had to go back to Cangzhou to deal with some things. He left overnight last night."
Xie Rou glanced at Jiang Xiaolou, her face darkened. In this family, the second lady, Xie Rou, is a person that everyone doesn't pay much attention to, so that she is the last person to know about such big news. There was something uncomfortable in her heart, she smiled faintly: "Miss Jiang knows better than my daughter."
Jiang Xiaolou saw her soreness and discomfort in his eyes, but smiled slightly: "When Uncle Xie left yesterday, she specially ordered someone to leave a message. Aunt Wang was thoughtful and disclosed the news to us, but It was late at that time, I'm afraid the second lady has already fallen asleep, so she didn't pay attention."
After saying this, Xie Rou's expression immediately turned from cloudy to fine. She just turned around and glared at the girl next to her and said: "Father is not at home, so I won't tell me sooner, what do you want you to do?
The girl didn't dare to argue, she just lowered her head and said, "Yes, the maidservant was wrong. I heard that Mo'er was dead when I woke up this morning, and the maidservant panicked and didn't have time to tell you."
Seeing Jiang Xiaolou's words have been verified, Xie Rou's face looks even better. She smiled at Jiang Xiaolou and said, "In that case, Miss Jiang, let's go to the Simei's yard and have a look."
Jiang Xiaolou stood still, Xie Rou looked at her strangely, Jiang Xiaolou smiled slightly, and calmly said: "Second Miss, this is Xie's housework. It is really inconvenient for me to be an outsider, please do me Send my greetings to Miss Fourth and ask her not to be too sad, just take care of your body, I won't go in."
Hearing this, Xie Rou nodded, thinking that Jiang Xiaolou is a person who knows books and respects, and knows how to behave. This is the private matter of the Xie family and should not be known to outsiders. Thinking of this, she said to Xie Chun next to her: "Fifth sister, let's go and take a look, maybe the fourth sister is sad at this time." When she said this, her expression showed a little sincerity. Care.
Miss Fifth Xie Chun blinked at Jiang Xiaolou playfully, her round eyes were exceptionally clear and bright, and then she took Miss Two's arm and said, "Okay, let's not say anything, let's go."
Seeing the two leaving together, Li Xuening walked up to Jiang Xiaolou and said, "Xiaolou, what do you think about this matter?"
Jiang Xiaolou turned his head and saw Li Xuening's expression seemingly disturbed. She smiled softly: "This is Xie's business, it has nothing to do with me, and it doesn't matter how I look at it."
Xiaodie said, "Miss, you can't say that. You didn't hear what Mama Gu said just now. She meant to say clearly..."
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Xiaolou glanced at her with a smile. When Xiaodie felt nervous, she immediately shivered and forgot what she was about to say.
It is rare for Li Xuening to continue her words and say: "Xiaolou, although Xiaodie's words just now are rough, but the meaning is not wrong. You have heard all the words of Gu's mother just now. It's hidden, but it's as if the responsibility for Mo'er's death is to be put on your head. Yesterday's incident was not directly related to you, but Gu's mother's statement is very suspicious."
When Jiang Xiaolou heard this, his expression was not nervous. Just indifferently: "Even so, so what? Is it because a mother is talking nonsense, do I have to be flustered and afraid of fear? People have a clear conscience, and why are they afraid of it?"
Li Xuening looked very solemn and reminded Jiang Xiaolou: "There is always nothing wrong with being careful."
Jiang Xiaolou nodded and couldn't help but smile...
Seeing that the two of them didn't take the matter too seriously, Xiaodie couldn't help but say another word. "Miss, we are going to stay in Xie Mansion. What if those people talk nonsense."
Jiang Xiaolou paused for a while before he smiled brightly: "If you want to live in this kind of family, you will be blinded for many things you shouldn't know. If you shouldn't have heard, you will be deaf. Other people's mouths grow. On their faces, do you want me to seal each of their mouths?"
Xiaodie woke up and Jiang Xiaolou was right. There was no need to care about what those people in the Xie Mansion said. Miss Anyway had already said that they wouldn't live here long. Could it be that Xie's family would still embarrass Jiang Xiaolou because of the death of a maidservant?
Mo'er's death at Xie's house was like a pebble thrown into the lake, and disappeared after a faint ripple. To say that in the deep house compound, a girl can't really say anything to death, after all, this kind of thing is very common. Even if Xie's family is generous, he can't stop the girl from thinking about it. Besides, Wang Baozhen had properly handled Mo'er's funeral and gave the Zhang family a lot of money. They closed their mouths soon and stopped talking. But this matter was still spread among the girls and servants in private, and everyone was quietly guessing the real cause of Moer's death. Some people say that she committed suicide because she was beaten by the fourth lady. But this is only a very small group of people, most people are whispering, they think that everything happened in the garden that day.
For some reason, Mo Er went to accuse the new Miss Jiang for pushing her fourth young lady, and turned around and was severely scolded by the master. Mo Er felt wronged, so he jumped and it was gone. After this statement spread, everyone couldn't help but become suspicious of the matter. If a person is not wronged to that point, he would not think of jumping into a well to commit suicide. I can’t say that Moer was telling the truth...
Such speculations circulated quietly in Xie's house, and everyone saw Jiang Xiaolou's expression become a little weird. Obviously, they all believed this rumor in private, but Wang Baozhen didn't show anything on her face, and she was still polite and respectful to Jiang Xiaolou. Since she didn't speak, no one else would say anything more. Everyone knew that the master now regarded Jiang Xiaolou more importantly than his own children, even the Fourth Miss, who was so much loved in the past, could not match. The master would rather ask her to be wronged, but also to maintain Jiang Xiaolou's integrity and face.
After all, Xiaodie heard the rumors outside, and she was very dissatisfied in her heart, but she couldn't use this to tell the two ladies, she could only sit there and sulking. A man was in a daze holding a teapot, but he didn't even notice when he came into the house. Qingqing stood by the door and coughed deliberately.
Hearing the noise, Xiaodie hurriedly raised his face and smiled at Qingqing: "It's you." Qingqing smiled and said, "Xiaodie, what are you thinking about again?"
Fluttershy shook her head quickly, lowered her head and complained, not knowing whether to say or not.
The corner of Qingqing's lips twitched. She heard some rumors today and was about to tell Xiaodie. Seeing her lowering her head intently thinking about her own thoughts, she vaguely guessed that the other party already knew about it.
After a while, Xiaodie raised his head, and the eyes of the two met. Xiaodie wanted to talk to Qingqing, but he felt that the other party was not his own after all. If he talked too much, he was afraid that the lady would blame him, so he stopped talking.
In his eyes, Qing Qing looked like a human being and had already understood it. Can't help but say: "Xiaodie, what's on your mind? Or..." She paused before continuing: "It's the people outside, what did you say that made you unhappy?"
Fluttershy shook, and his voice immediately fell low: "No, nothing."
Qingqing shook his head and said, "I know that people outside are spreading bad things about our lady everywhere, right?"
Xiaodie nodded involuntarily, but shook her head hurriedly, the expression on her face very disturbed.
Qingqing smiled. She could see that Xiaodie was actually a relatively simple-minded person. Such a person is very rare in this mansion. You cannot survive here without two faces.
Xiaodie looked at Qingqing and asked purely, "Sister Qingqing, you have been in this house for a long time, do you know Moer?"
Qingqing said naturally: "It's more than just acquaintance, that girl..." She paused, seeming to observe Xiaodie's reaction, and saw that the other party turned pale with satisfaction, and then continued: "That girl is a family-born child in the house. We used to play together when we were young. It’s just that when people grow up, they are divided into different yards. You guard me and I guard you, so we have been alienated a lot. In the past two years, she has rarely moved around." With that said, there was obviously a trace of emotion on the face.
This is a bit of a heartbreak, Xiaodie was a little confused as she listened.
"Sister Qingqing, why did you think Moer committed suicide?"
Qingqing hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a very low voice: "It seems that it was because of what happened in the garden that day. After being severely reprimanded by the master, Miss Fourth also rebuked her. Her heart was upset. If you don't eat or drink, you can't think about it."
Although Qingqing didn't continue speaking, Xiaodie's heart picked up. But it's just such a small matter that will kill you? She couldn't understand it anyway, because after Xie Kanghe had taught him a few words, Mo Er would not be able to think about it, and this life was too low. When in the Guose Tianxiang Tower, whether it was Jiang Xiaolou or Li Xuening, which one was not tortured and humiliated, but no one said that he was going to die. It's better to die than to live, to find a life for a little thing, which in Xiaodie's view is a particularly absurd thing.
Of course, this was also because of the different living environment, so she couldn't understand Mo Er's move to give up her life, and her heart became more uncomfortable: "No way..."
Qingqing understands everything halfway through hearing, but smiles faintly: "Silly girl, this matter is not difficult to understand. I only tell you quietly, you don't want to spread it."
Xiaodie nodded obediently, and Qingqing deliberately whispered mysteriously: "You know, Miss Si is not the master's biological daughter."
Of course Xiaodie knew about this, so she pierced her ears, opened her eyes, and listened quietly to Qingqing.
Qingqing doesn’t like to talk very much on weekdays, but today it seems to have opened up the chatterbox and said calmly:
The fourth lady is not the master’s biological daughter, but has lived in this family for so many years. The master’s attitude towards her is extremely affectionate. , Even the eldest lady and the third lady are incomparable. So everyone says that the fourth lady will marry in the future, it may not be what kind of scenery it will be... so, but everyone knows that the master’s little love is actually not considered Quasi, after all, she is not her own person. Who knows that Miss Fourth will make some mistakes for a while, and the master will not like her. Or to say something rebellious, there will be unexpected events, and the master may not be able to protect her for a lifetime. It happened in the garden that day. After such a thing, Miss Si was nervous, and of course the people around her were also worried. If Miss Si completely lost her master’s favor, how could she stand in Xie’s family? Think about it, isn’t it this? reason."
Qing Qing said in the clouds and mists, pretending to be profound. Xiaodie seemed to understand a little bit, and then seemed even more confused. She subconsciously said: "That's a pity, but because the master scolded a few words, I can't think of dying. If so, I don't know how many times I have died."
Qingqing was very sensitive and immediately asked: "Xiaodie, have you suffered a lot in the past?"
Fluttershy immediately realized that she was wrong when she said what she said just now. When a young lady's close girl said such things, others didn't understand it, and they might think that Jiang Xiaolou often abused her. She couldn't help but smiled and concealed: "Oh, what I mean is that when I was at home, my stepmother used to beat and scold me, but it was fierce. I didn't commit suicide by jumping into a well just because I couldn't think about it. "
Qingqing watched Xiaodie closed her mouth tightly, just like a clam shell. She was not worried, but smiled from the bottom of her heart. The day will be long. If you want to cover the details of Jiang Xiaolou, there will be more opportunities in the future. Thinking of this, she sighed and said, "I am really worried for Miss Jiang."
Xiaodie suddenly raised her head to look at her. Qingqing said, "If this matter continues to develop, there may be even more ugly words coming out. As you know, everyone in this family has a long mouth and has each thought. , They may not necessarily welcome Miss Jiang."
Xiaodie became suspicious and looked at Qingqing and said, "You are also the Xie family. Will you help my lady?"
Qingqing groaned: "Look, you are such a stupid girl. I entered this yard to serve Miss Jiang. Seeing what the master said, he will keep the young lady until she gets married. In this way, I even have Maybe it’s normal to get married with the lady. In the eyes of everyone, I am a lady’s person. Why should I help outsiders?"
What Qingqing said is not wrong. Xie Kanghe took Jiang Xiaolou in, hoping to find her a good place to recuperate. When she gets better, Xie Kanghe will find a good marriage for her and let her get married. What Qing Qing said was true and reasonable, Xiaodie naturally had to believe what Qing Qing said.
Qingqing observed her expression and said in a treacherous manner: "Rumors and talks are still trivial, have you heard that there has been no peace in Xie's family recently."
Xiaodie was taken aback, somewhat silly: "It's not peaceful, is there anything else happening?"
Qingqing whispered a few words in Xiaodie's ear, Xiaodie suddenly jumped up: "What are you talking about? Haunted?" As soon as these two words were spoken, Qingqing followed quickly and covered her mouth. Said: "Speak down, are you afraid that Miss won't listen?"
Xiaodie nodded again and again, Qingqing let go, and looked at her complaining: "With a loud voice like you, there will be trouble one day. No wonder I didn't remind you. The most taboo thing the lord is this kind of strange power. It’s a mess, but...you have to be careful too."
Xiaodie was completely stunned: "Be careful? What am I careful about?"
Qingqing coughed softly: "You don't know, Mo'er's unjust death has something to do with our young lady. In case she feels resentful and touches our yard, it is impossible to tell. ."
After hearing this, Xiaodie couldn't help her legs being weakened. She was most afraid of these gods and ghosts.
That night, it was Fluttershy's turn to watch the night again. This night, the moon was very good and the light was very soft. It was lightly sprinkled in the yard, illuminating a white frost. Fluttershy tossed on the couch outside, thinking about what Qingqing said in her heart, feeling increasingly uneasy. She wants to fall asleep, but she can't sleep well. Turning left for a while, turning right for a while, almost rolled off the couch. She raised her head and glanced into the inner room, then gasped in fear. Fortunately, Miss Jiang didn't disturb her. Jiang Xiaolou had a bad sleep. In the past, Xiaodie was still awake when she was asleep. Miss rested early today, Xiaodie reminded herself that she shouldn't wake her up at this time.
But at this moment, Xiaodie suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, in the corridor. Xiaodie was taken aback and raised her ears. The footsteps sounded like catwalks, silently. Then came the padlock sound of gently pushing the door, Xiaodie woke up all of a sudden, her eyes widened in horror and looked in the direction of the door, but as if she had a nightmare, the sound disappeared instantly.
Xiaodie was very upset, she put on her shoes and walked quickly to the door, and suddenly opened the door. Outside the door was empty, nothing except the silent night and the faint frost. Xiaodie breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door again, dropped the bolt, and then turned around and returned to his couch. Because of fear, she turned her back to sleep, but she always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her from behind her. The scary feeling made her creepy. She couldn't help but slowly turned her body back again, her eyes glisteningly round and looking around the room, first the door, then the window. The room was dark, but the moonlight outside was very bright. She clearly saw the edged flowered window on the east side, the window paper was torn off at some point, and her gloomy eyes stared gloomily behind the torn paper.
Fluttershy screamed and fell off the couch. The sound immediately excited Jiang Xiaolou. She woke up and walked out of the inner room quickly. She saw Xiaodie falling to the ground with all directions, panicking and frowning: "What are you doing? "
Xiaodie rushed forward and carried out Jiang Xiaolou: "Miss, there is a ghost, I see a ghost."
When Jiang Xiaolou heard this, he couldn't help but raised his brows slightly: "Ghost, where are ghosts?"
Fluttershy didn't dare to look at the window. He just pointed with his fingers. The fingers were still trembling, and even the voice was jittery: "It's there, it's there."
Jiang Xiaolou looked in the direction of her fingers, except for a window that did not know when the window paper broke open, and there was no one else. She sighed and said, "Xiaodie, in the middle of the night, she suddenly screamed. This will disturb Xue Ning's rest."
Hearing this, Xiaodie suddenly raised her head and stared at Jiang Xiaolou: "Miss, don't you believe in slaves? The slaves really saw it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with them. Those ghostly dark eyeballs and loose hair She was dressed in white, so scary. Oh, yes, she was still wet."
Jiang Xiaolou's expression became serious, she put on her coat, and her expression was cold and cold: "Go, come out with me, I want to see where the ghost comes from."
Fluttershy backed back again and again, desperately backing back: "No, the servant girl dare not, don't go! Ah, miss, don't pull the servant girl!"
Jiang Xiaolou carried Xiaodie's back collar all the way, and walked straight through the corridor. The wind was gusty all the way, but she was fearless. At this moment, a white light suddenly appeared in the room on the west side of the yard, her eyes condensed, and she quickly chased after her. Xiaodie's scared soul fell, but she was dragged by her, making her whole body chill with fright. The west room has been vacant. Xiaodie couldn't even get up. Jiang Xiaolou glanced at her, snorted, picked up her skirt, and kicked the door open.
The door opened with a bang and creaked, making it more ghostly.
"Miss, don't go in!" Xiaodie shouted tremblingly.
Jiang Xiaolou didn't look back, and entered the room without hesitation, his expression indifferent and imposing.
The whole room was empty, with nothing but silent furnishings.
"Miss—"
"Come in," Jiang Xiaolou said solemnly, Xiaodie dared to stumble and climb in. She lay on the threshold and said quietly, "Miss, have you caught a ghost?"
Jiang Xiaolou said coldly: "A ghost, but a rat with a hidden head, how can he show up?"
Xiaodie still probed her head in terror, Jiang Xiaolou grabbed her by the collar and pulled her up: "Don't look like you're so frightened, what are you afraid of?!"
"But... they said it was Mo'er's wronged soul!" Xiaodie was still terrified, and her face turned pale.
Jiang Xiaolou's beautiful face showed a scornful smile: "People are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points! What if it is an unjust soul, living is a cowardly thing, and dead is an incompetent ghost! Evil, only daring to bully those weak people, for a wicked person, he can only respectfully, bow down and claim the court!" After speaking, her cold eyes swept across the room, literally: "I don't care if you are People are still ghosts. Just come here upright when you find me, don't shrink your head, I want to see if you can peel off your skin to make a ghost bib!"
At this moment, Xiaodie screamed suddenly when he heard a snap, but a cat suddenly came out. Jiang Xiaolou coldly watched the cat brushing his feet, his expression unchanged, and said, "Let's go."
After speaking, she pulled Xiaodie out. Jiang Xiaolou observed the broken window in front of his house for a moment. Then she lowered her head, glanced at the ground again, and suddenly saw a pool of water stains, and there was a silver light gleaming in the water stains. Jiang Xiaolou was not afraid. He lowered his body and took the initiative to pick up the thing, and took a look in the palm of his hand. It was a pearl earring. The small pendant was very exquisite, but the material was not superior.
Xiaodie became more horrified and said: "Miss, this is Moer's thing, it must be hers."
Jiang Xiaolou glanced at Xiaodie, smiling but not smiling: "You mean Mo'er came back from the dead, so he climbed up to this window to see you?"
Xiaodie was dumb, yeah, Mo'er is dead. It is absolutely impossible for her to stand here and scare her. She couldn't help but said, "Miss, then it really can only be a ghost. Wrong, you believe me."
Jiang Xiaolou smiled softly, turned and walked straight out of the courtyard. Xiaodie didn't dare to stay anymore, and hurriedly followed her.
Today in front of Jiang Xiaolou’s courtyard is a mother named Luo, who is more than forty years old, very energetic, and has very energetic eyes. Seeing Jiang Xiaolou, she hurriedly saluted: "Miss Jiang, why are you coming out so late?"
Jiang Xiaolou's tone was casual: "Xiaodie saw someone in the yard just now in the room."
Mother Luo was taken aback, and said in surprise: "Oh, is there anything else?"
Xiaodie put her back on her back and said with a sneer: "Mom's words are strange, you just sit outside the door, if someone enters the yard, can you still not see it?" She can only cheer herself up. Tell yourself that it is not a ghost.
But the next sentence that Mother Luo said made her heart sink to the bottom. Mother Luo said, "Miss, the slave and maid are here and haven't seen anyone go in. This is the lady's yard. You rest in it. The slave and maid dare not let outsiders in even if you have the courage. If you don't believe me, just Ask her." As she said, she pointed to a maid who was dozing off next to her, but now she also stood up cleverly. The little girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and when she saw Jiang Xiaolou standing with a frosty face, she nodded her head again and again like garlic.
"Miss Jiang, the maidservant is sitting on the threshold. If someone enters, the maidservant will not know it."
This is also true. Both of them are guarding at the door, how can they let strangers in.
Are you really a ghost? Xiaodie couldn't help getting hairy in her heart. Seeing Mo'er's body with her own eyes, she felt that the yin air still couldn't dissipate. Thinking about this, my back became colder, and my calves were softening.
Jiang Xiaolou turned his head and looked at her with a look like water: "Since Mother Luo persists in this way, what happened tonight must be a nightmare. Xiaodie, you go back and rest, nothing will happen."
Entering the house, Fluttershy Qiqi Ai Ai said: "Miss, can the slaves and maids sleep on the floor in the inner room"
Jiang Xiaolou couldn't help sighing: "Really scared?"
Fluttershy nodded sharply: "It's really scary, miss, the servants are so scared!"
Jiang Xiaolou was angry and funny: "Then just do it with you, but are you sure that the ghost really doesn't come in to find you?"
Xiaodie almost cried on the spot. Jiang Xiaolou saw that she couldn't support the wall, and shook his head, and said, "I'm going to bed. If I'm really scared, come up and sleep with me."
In front of Jiang Xiaolou, Xiaodie didn't dare to say anything, she could only nod her head again and again, and followed Jiang Xiaolou into the inner room. Only this time, she dared not sleep all night, and sat on the couch with wide-eyed eyes, staring around nervously. The doors and windows have been closed, even the window has been repaired, and there is no more rustling footsteps. But Xiaodie is still very nervous, she prefers not to sleep all night, and does not want to encounter such a panic again.
Early the next morning, Jiang Xiaolou told Xiaodie to go out to get hot water for her makeup. Xiaodie walked to the back corridor, only to see Jingqing, who had always been energetic, sitting there with a pair of panda eyes.
Xiaodie stepped forward and shook her, Qingqing stood up in a hurry and said, "Why are you so scary in the early morning?"
Xiaodie was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Miss ordered to pour water, she wants to dress up."
Qingqing nodded, and Xiaodie followed her. The two entered the water room one after the other, only to hear a few servant girls who boiled water talking.
One of the maid said: "Mo Er was thrown into a well and he was very yin."
Another person said: "Yes, did you hear any strange footsteps last night? It was scary." This voice immediately caused others to echo: "Yes, I heard it too, but it was dark outside in the middle of the night. It’s lacquered, no one dared to come out and check it out. What if it’s really a ghost and catch us?"
A younger voice said: "You can keep your voice down, Miss Jiang doesn't like to listen to these gods and ghosts."
Someone immediately retorted: "Huh, she was the cause of it. Why didn't Mo Er go to find someone else, how could he find her? It wasn't because she pushed the Fourth Miss down into the lake, Mo Er accused her, and she reversed it. , The master severely reprimanded Mo Er. This kind of thing is all Miss Jiang’s fault."
Before she could finish her words, another person hurriedly covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, the wall has ears. I heard that the master likes this Miss Jiang, and he is planning to keep her in our house for the rest of his life. This kind of person can be offended. Sorry."
Hearing this, Xiaodie took a breath of air, no longer caring about Qingqing who was standing next to him, turning around and ran back.
That night, Xiaodie still couldn't sleep soundly, always half asleep and half awake, vaguely feeling someone walking in the yard. Jiang Xiaolou knew that Xiaodie was upset, and she was also silently watching the movement outside the yard. Every time she lay down, she could hear the footsteps sliding past the door extremely softly, seeming to always turn around in front of her door and drift away.
This kind of thing lasted for seven days, and gradually everyone knew that the painting building where Miss Jiang lived was haunting. Even when they saw Jiang Xiaolou, they looked scared, for fear of something dirty. As a result, the Xie family became panicked.
Jiang Xiaolou did not worry about the eyes of others. Even if they said to break the sky, she didn't care. But Li Xuening and Xiaodie couldn't settle down anymore, Xiaodie was panicked, and Li Xuening was also frightened one night, unable to sleep for days. Both of them felt something unusual, as if something was surging and ready to emerge, but no one could tell what it was.
Jiang Xiaolou walked in the garden, everyone avoiding it for fear. She should not be able to see it. She just walked into the pavilion and sat down to admire the lake. While watching, she was counting silently. It will be the tenth day of October. Very important, she didn't want to disturb her mood just because of a little thing. What the Xie family wants or what the ghost is, she doesn't care at all, as long as it doesn't ruin her major event, these people can ignore it. She was thinking, but she heard footsteps next to her, and a voice whispered: "Miss Jiang is so Yaxing."
Jiang Xiaolou turned his head and saw Xie Liancheng walked into the pavilion with a smile. He was dressed in blue and described as being chic and romantic, with a clear and noble attitude and a touch of warmth.
She smiled slightly: "Why, Master Xie didn't go out today?"
Xie Liancheng was as busy with business as his father Xie Kanghe, rarely had a family, and would never see him on weekdays.
Xie Liancheng stood with a smile, with a strong sense of interest and research in his eyes: "I heard that something happened at home, and I specifically came to care. Is Ms. Jiang's living well?"
Jiang Xiaolou lightly sighed and said: "Good things don't go out, bad things spread for thousands of miles, and everyone knows the haunting of painting buildings."
Xiaodie hurriedly said, "Master, there are real ghosts in the yard, and the slaves and maids saw them with their own eyes."
Xie Liancheng shook his head: "I have lived in the Xie's compound for so many years, and I have never heard of any ghosts."
Jiang Xiaolou smiled sweetly, with a thrilling smile: "The young master is wrong, there are ghosts here, and ghosts are in people's hearts."
