Wen Wan's face turned pale in an instant, her body trembled, as if she was about to cry. Ji Man looked up and listened, the voice was on the tile, very clear.
"Licorice wick, follow me with the lantern."
The two servant girls were startled awake and were shaking on the ground. When they heard what their master said, they almost knelt down: "Master, you want to go out? This thing is on top."
"I just wanted to see what kind of moth it was because I knew it was up there." Ji Man jumped off the bed, looked at Clover and said, "You guard Master Wan."
After lighting the lamp, Ji Man put on her clothes, thinking to herself, who is stronger, Nie Sangyu or this baby? While stepping out the door, he looked at the roof and retreated into the yard.
The licorice and the wick trembled and moved close to Jiman. The baby's cry seemed to pause for a while, and then it sounded again.
Ji Man listened for a while, and said, "It's not as eerie as the rumors say, it's like a normal baby crying, did someone put the baby on my roof?"
Licorice tugged at her sleeve and said, "Master... let's talk in the first room..."
The stinking Taoist also said that Feiwan Pavilion is the cleanest and there will be no evil things, so either the Taoist lied, or someone really came to scare Wenwan on purpose.
Really, the children are scared, so is it necessary to keep scaring? Ji Man pouted, and was pushed back into the room by two maids.
Wen Wan didn't know why, but fell asleep on the bed.
Jiman felt strange, glanced at Clover next to him, and asked, "Did you faint from fright?"
Clover huddled under the quilt on the ground, nodded: "It seems so."
Wen Wan is only so timid, she is really scared all the time, maybe she is so scared that she has schizophrenia. If it is artificial, who has such a big hatred against her? Mu Shuiqing is the only one who has complained recently, and Mu Shuiqing doesn't seem like someone with such abilities.
The baby's crying stopped abruptly, and Ji Man yawned. The more he felt that this was a prank, and he would have someone guard him on the roof tomorrow to ensure that there would be no such crying.
It's better to sleep, Ji Man lay down, glanced at the gentle and pale face, thinking that the heroine is really going to be tossed.
Early the next morning, before Wen Wan got up, Ji Man had already washed up and went to find Mo Yuhou.
"Do you think someone deliberately scares Wan'er?" Ning Yuxuan looked at her and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who could it be?"
Ji Man smiled: "Master Hou asks me, who should I ask? It's just that Wan'er is timid. If Master Hou was by her side, she wouldn't be frightened like this all the time. She was so scared that she passed out yesterday. If Master Hou is really distressed, shouldn't he bring Wan'er by his side?"
Ning Yuxuan took a deep look at her and hooked his fingers at her.
Jiman walked beside him.
He reached out, took a tooth of the apple cut on the table, stuffed it into her mouth, and said with a smile: "If you are thirsty, eat the fruit and don't talk too much."
Ji Man wanted to say, I am not thirsty. But looking at this uncle's expression that I can arrange for you to stay honestly, she doesn't want to ask too much, it's his heroine, not hers, so why bother so much.
"I'll send someone to stand on the roof tonight." Ning Yuxuan whispered, "You just need to comfort Wan'er."
She is really a nanny! The corner of Ji Man's mouth twitched, he turned and left.
As for Ning Yuxuan, she suddenly wondered if the second half of the original book was an abusive novel? With such a terrible male protagonist, the female protagonist must have been abused and sad in various ways. She has never liked to read articles in which the female protagonist is crushed miserably. It was a wise decision not to read it.
"lady."
She met Qian Lianxue within two steps, she seemed to be in better spirits, her face was as white as jade, and she still looked like a weak willow Fufeng.
Ji Man smiled at her: "Come out for a walk?"
"My concubine always feels bored, so I come out for a walk more often." Qian Lianxue smiled and said, "Unexpectedly, Madam also got up early. How is Master Wan?"
"Should still be sleeping, last night I was frightened and passed out again." Ji Man sighed.
There was no disturbance in Qian Lianxue's expression, and it was not very strange that Wen Wan was stunned, she just said: "I just have nothing to do, how about I go back with my wife to see Master Wan?"
Ji Man agreed, and the two walked side by side to Feiwan Pavilion.
Wen Wan was still sleeping, her little face was a little flushed, and she turned pale after a while, Ji Man reached out and touched her forehead, she didn't have a high fever, but she had slept for too long.
"Do you want to find a doctor to take a look?" Ji Man muttered.
Qian Lianxue said softly: "The doctor has been watching these two days, Master Wan should be tired, it's nothing serious. Why don't you talk about it like a concubine, what happened last night?"
Ji Man glanced back at her, and told her everything about the voice on the roof, then paused at the end, and said angrily: "I went to report the matter to Lord Hou today, and asked him to arrange some staff or take Wan'er Pick it up. Who would have thought that he said that he was too busy, he didn't sleep and didn't hear the sound last night, we must have heard it wrong, and he didn't even want to be quiet, he was really confused."
Qian Lianxue was slightly surprised: "How could this be? Didn't Lord Hou always love Master Wan?"
"Who knows what's going on with him recently." Ji Man waved his hand and said, "Although I also think the crying last night is nothing terrible, but Wan'er is timid, if she continues to be scared like this, she will go crazy."
Qian Lianxue turned her head to look at the person sleeping on the bed, her eyes were full of sympathy: "It's hard for her too."
Ji Man lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Wen Wan woke up during lunch, and Ji Man cooked for her herself, not to be nice to her, but to fear that she might eat something wrong in Feiwan Pavilion.
In the afternoon, Ji Man went to the old lady's place.
"Lianxue is a poor child." While chatting with the old lady, Ji Man mentioned Qian Lianxue, and the old lady started to say: "She is Qian Yingchen's older sister, and she was born with a medicine jar. Xuan'er takes pity on her, and this girl likes Xuan'er, so she welcomes her back to be her aunt."
In Ji Man's impression, Mo Yuhou was definitely not the kind of person who would overflow with sympathy. Rather than saying that he pities Qian Lianxue, it is better to say that Qian Yingchen is a very important person.
Only when Qian Yingchen is important, Mo Yuhou will always take good care of this Aunt Xue.
Well, she admitted that she already had prejudice against Mo Yuhou. Anyway, this person gave her the feeling that everything she did was purposeful.
Qian Lianxue's background can be considered pure, and she is also kind, so there should be no reason to do something outrageous. Ji Man felt that he might be superstitious, too suspicious.
At night, Ning Yuxuan said that someone had been sent, but Ji Man didn't see half of him. Adhering to the purpose of believing in the omnipotent hero, Ji Man comforted Wen Wan and went to bed early.
The maids were still laying the floor, and the lights in the room were still on.
At midnight, Ji Man even counted three two one, and sure enough there was another baby crying on the roof.
Only this time, the cry was accompanied by the sound of fighting, and the tiles on the roof were broken all the way, and then the cry fell from the roof into the yard.
The courtyard was suddenly brightly lit, and Ji Man hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to have a look.
A group of servants held up lamps, and someone in the middle escorted a person carrying a baby. The living baby was crying miserably because of discomfort.
It really is man-made.
Ning Yuxuan stood aside and said, "Mingjie, take off this man's face scarf."
Ning Mingjie was holding the hands of the man in black. When he heard the words, he pulled off the scarf on his face. He didn't recognize him when he pulled it off. This man had an honest face, pursed his lips, and looked at Mo Yuhou With one glance, his neck tilted, black blood spit out from his mouth, and he died.
Ji Man took two steps back, frowning. She had never seen such a living suicide scene.
Ning Mingjie handed the baby to the servants, and handed over the man's body to them to deal with, then glanced at Ji Man and said, "Why should Madam come out, it's time to have nightmares again."
Ji Man thought to himself, I don't want to come out either, but with such a big commotion outside, everyone has curiosity, so how could they not come to see it.
"It turns out that the ghost baby is really man-made."
"I haven't caught him several times, but this time it's strange." Mo Yuhou bent his lips and said, "He always doesn't come when he sees someone. Today I also arranged for someone in advance. He is so bold that he came gone."
Ji Man paused.
"Although the man in black committed suicide, he can still find some clues." Ning Yuxuan said, "I want to see who wants to put their hands into my mansion."
Ning Mingjie nodded: "Such tricks are actually aimed at women, which is a bit contemptible."
According to his way of thinking, if he doesn't like someone, he can just go and assassinate him directly.
Ji Man yawned. Now that this matter is known to be man-made, everyone in the mansion should feel relieved. It's getting late, let these men check the rest of the matter, she has to go to bed.
Going back to the room and telling Wen Wan what happened, Wen Wan leaned on the pillow with half-opened eyes and listened, and suddenly shed tears.
"Who on earth hates me so much?" She cried pear blossoms with rain: "My child, my child is just gone. I have nightmares day and night, and I can't sleep well. If you let me know who it is I have tampered with her back, and I will definitely pay her back a hundred times and a thousand times!"
His face suddenly turned ferocious, he gritted his teeth gently, and his tone became vicious, which startled Ji Man.
Ji Man felt a little strange: "You haven't really hurt anyone's child, why are you so afraid of the baby's cry?"
After a gentle pause, she lowered her eyes and said nothing. Ji Man shrugged, thinking she was timid.
The next day, Mo Yuhou took the baby out in the mansion to show the public. The innocent baby's face was a little purple, and he kept crying with his eyes closed.
"Send it to the Buddhist temple to take care of it." Gentle and kind, said: "It's still a life after all."
Marquis Moyu agreed, and sent someone to send the baby away, and then removed all the talisman papers and other things in the mansion.
"No one should mention this matter in the future." Ning Yuxuan looked at the crowd and said, "I will definitely find out who is behind the scenes and punish them severely."
