Vol 2 Chapter 401: Haunted

Early the next morning, Mr. Ren went to Yunyang City again, this time he went alone.
Although the guards of the Yanbei Palace prohibits the entry and exit of Ren's residence, they turn a blind eye to the people inside and the visitors through the gate to speak. This was originally unreasonable, but no one realized it.
When the concierge came in to report that Master Ren was coming again, Ren Yaoqi was accompanying Master Ren San to paint in the study. Painting has always been a good medicine for Ren Shimin to relieve his worries.
"No." Master Ren San was very displeased when he was interrupted, and he said coldly without turning his head back.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while and asked the concierge: "Master Ren came by himself? Can you tell me what's the matter with my father?"
"The big master only brought an entourage today. He only said that there are important things to discuss with our master, and that the master must go and see him." The concierge did not dare to enter the study room and could only be careful through the door. In reply, everyone in the Ren family knows that if the third master is not angry, he is more temperamental than anyone else.
Ren Shimin frowned when he heard that he was about to get angry, but he was stopped by Ren Yaoqi.
"Father, you'd better meet your uncle. You have a good relationship with your uncle on weekdays. Besides, the decision to remove you from your clan is not something he can do. He might have something to do with you in private this time. ?"
Ren Shimin thought for a while and sighed, put down the pen in his hand: "Then go see you."
Ren Shimin cleaned his hands and went out. Ren Yaoqi cleaned up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the book case and left the study. Only when he went out, he saw Mother Zhou standing outside the study with a worried expression on his face.
"Miss, the old man is here again?" Mother Zhou asked as soon as she saw Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Father just went out to see the uncle."
Grandma Zhou looked around and saw that there was no one else, she leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Miss, the elder is here to see the master again. Could it be that the Ren family changed their mind again?" Everyone hopes to get rid of the Ren family, as long as there is no old lady Ren gesticulating, the backyard of the third master is the Li family alone. If she hadn't dared to think like this before, but now that the third master has an official position, he can stand on his own. Naturally, the farther away from those people, the better, so as not to be hindered later.
Regarding Mother Zhou’s concern, Ren Yaoqi just smiled and said confidently:
No.
The two elders of the Ren family always only seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. How can they change their minds so easily?
"Why did the great master come?" Mother Zhou frowned.
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said, "Who did the mother just send to follow? Xi'er or Que'er?"
Mother Zhou was a little embarrassed: "It's a second-class maid in the yard. I asked her to watch it. If there is anything, I can report back in time."
Ren Yaoqi didn't take it seriously: "Then I'll find out later."
Unexpectedly, Ren Shimin came back less than a stick of incense, and was still full of anger. Seeing Mother Zhou standing in the courtyard, Ren Shimin said to her: "Please go down, if the Ren family in Baihe Town comes back in the future, No matter who it is, give me a slapstick!" After saying this, he went to the study and didn't come out until that evening.
Grandma Zhou was stunned, and then immediately bowed her head and bowed her hands in a respectful response.
After Ren Shimin entered the study, Mother Zhou called the little maid who had been sent to inquire about the news in front of Ren Yaoqi.
The little maid said: "The big master didn't speak loudly, and the slaves didn't hear clearly. Later, the master suddenly lost his temper and said to the big master,'I am incompetent and will not be shameless to divorce my wife and avoid disaster. It’s just thinking about pushing women and children out to prevent disasters. It’s totally unreasonable! From now on, you will not bother with my housework! It’s so easy to leave or not!
Then the master returned."
After hearing this, Grandma Zhou gritted her teeth with hatred, and asked the maid not to spread the message and sent her away before saying to Ren Yaoqi: "It turns out that the elder is here to cheat our lord to divorce his wife. Fortunately, the lord did not listen to them. Yes." Mother Zhou really realized the benefits of Ren Shimin at this time.
Master Ren San may not be good in everything, but his character alone is something that people can't pick for mistakes.
After this day, Master Ren came again, but Ren Shimin did not go out to see him, and Ren Shizhong stopped coming after that, and the Ren family did not send anyone to persuade him. Seeing that Ren Shimin and the others were imprisoned for six or seven days, the Yanbei Palace had no intention of letting people out. The attitude of the Yanbei Palace has been kept secret. There are rumors outside that the Yanbei Palace will wait until the old princess's birthday banquet. People come to deal with the affairs of the Royal Palace. Because of the death of the eldest son, the old princess's birthday banquet can no longer be held, but according to the usual practice, the court still has to send someone over to give some rewards.
Seeing that the birthday banquet of the old princess was getting closer, the Ren family finally gritted their teeth and opened the ancestral hall, formally expelling Ren Shimin from the Ren family. From then on, Ren Shimin is not considered Baihe Town in terms of the law or the clan system. Ren's family.
Master Ren Wu and Ren Shijia and his wife had come to inquire about the news and sent them something. Ren Yijun also sent a letter to Ren Shimin. Although they can't help much, but their heart is there.
During this period, something happened to the Lei family. The Lei family suddenly made a ghost.
When a night-watching woman passed outside the Lei's ancestral hall at night, she saw a woman in white clothes sitting on the wall of the ancestral hall, smiling at her with a pale face, and the woman was scared and fainted on the spot. Later, there were two more times when someone saw this "female ghost" on the swing in the garden and not far from the study.
The people in Lei's family were panicked, and no one dared to come out after nightfall, and those who watched the night would be brave even with three companions.
Later, there were rumors that the deceased Qiao came back, because the two places she later appeared were places where Lei Paner played and read and read on weekdays. It was said that Qiao was worried about giving her daughter to the bride. Come out and stare at Ren Yaohua.
If other women hear such rumours of people who have noses, eyes, and witnesses, even if they are not scared and lie in bed, they will tremble and be suspicious. But Ren Yaohua was only angry after hearing it.
Ren Yaohua does not believe in ghosts, she only believes that someone is pretending to be fools. Besides, she has never done anything wrong, even if there is a ghost, she is not afraid. No matter what purpose the person did this kind of thing, it is shameless to use the deceased to make a fuss.
Lei Ting wanted to come forward to investigate this matter, but Ren Yaohua stopped it. Things in the inner court should be settled in the inner court. Besides, Lei Ting is very busy every day, Ren Yaohua can't rely on him to give her a head for everything, let alone Ren Yaohua knows that this incident is aimed at her. Thunder ordered the butler Liu Gui to follow Ren Yaohua's orders.
On the second day, Ren Yaohua called the Lei family's subordinates to the chamber and strictly prohibited them from mentioning the matter again. Once they found someone chewing their tongues, they slapped a board and drove out. This is the first time Ren Yaohua has treated the servants of the Lei family with such a harsh attitude after marrying the Lei family.
After taking care of all the people in the house, Ren Yaohua seldom went out, especially after nightfall, she didn't take a step out of her yard. She used to follow Lei Pan'er when she went to the study to practice calligraphy or went to the garden to play on the swing, but now Lei Pan'er was asked to change the location of her calligraphy to the small study in the main room, and Lei Pan'er was not allowed Go to play in the garden.
Lei Pan'er was very well-behaved and didn't complain about anything. People outside thought that Ren Yaohua was guilty and afraid. Ren Yaohua fell ill within a few days, and even stayed home.
Within a few days, the "female ghost" that hadn't appeared for a long time appeared again in the corridor not far from the main house where Ren Yaohua was.
Only this time, this "female ghost" was caught by several nursing homes that had been ambushing in the dark.
The steward of the outer courtyard held a lantern and took a picture of the motionless female ghost, only to find that it was just a paper man. The paper man was put on his headgear and clothes. Only his mouth was hooked with cinnabar on his snow-white face. Looking from a distance in the evening is really a bit horrible.
Liu Gui took the paper man to return to Lei Ting and Ren Yaohua.
"No suspicious person is found nearby?" Lei Ting glanced at the paper man on the ground and asked quietly.
"The man tied the paper man to the pillar in the corridor and hid himself. When the little one looked for it, the man found that the matter was exposed and fled."
Ren Yaohua's gaze stayed on the paper man, she got up and walked over to take a closer look at the clothes on the paper man.
Seeing that Ren Yaohua seemed to be trying to get the clothes off the paper man, Liu Gui quickly stopped and said, "Mrs., don't touch it, it's bad luck."
Although Ren Yaohua was not afraid, he did not touch it with his hands.
"What did you find?" Lei Ting also got up and walked over, standing next to Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaohua paused, and said, "This material...is Yunjin cloth."
Lei Ting glanced at Liu Gui. Liu Gui twisted his sleeve carefully and nodded and said, "It is indeed Yunjin cloth."
Although the Yunjin cloth does not look much different from the ordinary fine cloth on the market, the price is more than tens of times higher. It is generally used by wealthy people to make lining, comfortable and sweat-absorbing, and fits well with the famous family. That kind of "low-key and luxurious" psychology.
"Yunjin cloth is precious, so it will definitely not belong to the people in the house. And the little one remembers that several masters in our house do not like to use this cloth for clothes, so the little one did not let the purchaser buy it. But..." Here, Liu Gui glanced at Ren Yaohua. Seeing that Ren Yaohua didn't respond, he said again, "After the wife came, the young man asked the purchaser to find a few horses."
Before the Lei family had no mistress, Liu Gui needed foreign affairs and internal affairs.
Ren Yaohua nodded: "I don't like to use this either. I only gave two horses to someone, and two of them remained in the warehouse." RS
