Ji Man dutifully conveyed Pengyue's words, and finally said tactfully: "Pengyue begged for the second prince to be crowned king, what should be enshrined, probably there will be a lot of debate in the court?"
Mo Yuhou snorted lightly, looked at the bank notes Ji Man put on the table, and counted the amount, which was really surprising.
"You just need to send a message." He said, "I know what they mean, so I will naturally measure it."
"Okay." Ji Man nodded with a smile, it's naturally the best to completely remove herself in this way.
"I'll go to Luoyanxuan at night, you don't have to wait for me." Ning Yuxuan glanced at her again, pursed her lips and said.
Ji Man nodded: "Okay, the concubine will retire first."
Ning Yuxuan: "..."
As soon as he stepped out of the study door, he heard a low voice from behind: "Nie Sangyu, are you heartless!"
Ji Man paused, turned around to look at the man's annoyed face, and couldn't help laughing: "How can a person have no heart, he will die. It's just that if you have a heart to move around on someone who shouldn't be, then He will die too. Isn't Sang Yu's heart killed by Lord Hou himself?"
Ning Yuxuan was shocked.
"If you don't have sincerity, don't ask for others' sincerity. Sang Yu doesn't ask for the sincerity of Lord Hou, but only wishes for a stable life." Ji Man's smile faded: "Master Hou always hoped that Sang Yu would be gentle and sensible, Now that Sang Yu has done it, why are you still annoyed?"
He lost his composure, why did he ask such a stupid question. Ning Yuxuan smiled lowly, waved his hands and said, "Go."
"yes."
After walking a few steps, Ji Man realized that he felt a little regretful. What are you doing honestly? She should just say hello, little kiss! Isn't it easy to lie to him that I love you
It's just that she couldn't help but turn on the mocking mode. She didn't cherish what she got, and regretted it when she lost it. Seeing how annoyed he is now, she couldn't help feeling secretly happy for Nie Sangyu.
He was going to Luoyanxuan at night, so she had nothing to do. Jiman planned to rest after taking a bath, but for some reason, the wind outside suddenly became a bit strong tonight, and the lamp wick caught cold, so she went down to rest early, and there were only two maidservants outside the room, and she planned to stand for an hour before going to sleep.
"So cold..."
There seemed to be some shadow floating past the window, making a creepy sound.
Just as Ji Man was about to close his eyes, he sat up when he heard the voice.
"The water in Jietian Lake is so cold, master, how can you bear it?" A long and long voice sounded in the yard, and floated from the window to the door. The two servant girls screamed, and then they heard the sound of falling to the ground.
Is this meeting the midnight ghost? Ji Man raised her eyebrows, Clover has been in the lake for so long, and now she just remembered to seek her life, the reflex arc is long enough.
The door was blown open by a gust of wind, and the lamp on the table was also blown out. In the darkness, Ji Man saw a lump of something floating in, with its long wet head dragging in front of him, and the ground was covered with water stains all the way in. .
"Master, do you want to go to the bottom of the lake?" A pale face protruded from the middle of her head and asked her with a smile.
Ji Man sat on the bed, smiled and shook her head: "I don't want to."
"Clover" paused, seemingly out of words for a moment. Ji Man has already taken a wooden hairpin beside the pillow into his hand.
There are everything in this yard, but it is rare to see a ghost, and nine out of ten ghosts are pretended by people, but who has she offended recently, so why don't you let her go
"Master is so cruel, even Fu'er won't let it go..." The ghost continued to say quietly, "Let's use my life to pay for my child's life today."
Hearing this, Ji Man kicked the ghost in the stomach. It was indeed a real entity. He was kicked so hard that his head was thrown and he took two steps back.
Taking advantage of the darkness in the room, Ji Man immediately poked the hairpin hard at the ghost's shoulder, heard a scream, and resorted to the anti-wolf trick that he saw somewhere, slapped his chin upward with his palm, and then got out of bed Just run outside.
"Wick! Hurry up and call the police!" Ji Man ran to the door and opened his voice to howl. After howling, he realized something was wrong, and immediately said: "Call someone, there are thieves!"
The black shadow behind him has already rolled up again, and the wooden hairpin obviously failed to cause him too much damage, after all, the winter clothes are thick! It's not like wearing thick clothes in TV dramas and just piercing through with a hairpin.
Ji Man's neck was strangled, he struggled to touch the tender flesh under the inner side of the man's arm, and twisted desperately.
"ah"
With a man's voice, how dare you squeeze your throat and pretend to be clover? The corner of Ji Man's mouth twitched, and while he was letting go, he hurriedly kicked his lower body, then stumbled into the snow and ran to open the courtyard gate of Feiwan Pavilion.
Dim Wick fell into a deep sleep due to illness, but it was impossible not to wake up due to such a big commotion. When she woke up, she saw a disheveled thing chasing her master in the yard.
"Come on!" Dengxin's voice was hoarse, and it was useless to call someone, so he rushed over to try to pull Ji Man out of the man's hand. The courtyard door opened, and many people outside were alarmed, and the lights in several courtyards were turned on.
Ji Man was almost strangled to death, and several times felt that his heart was about to stop beating. But suddenly, the ghost let go of her, turned around and ran out of Feiwan Pavilion.
"Master." Dim Wick was so anxious that he could hardly speak, so he hugged Ji Man and strangled her.
Ji Man waved her hand quickly, she was still alive, but she didn't catch her breath.
"What's the matter?" Liu Hanyun was the first one to come here. Seeing Ji Man sitting at the door with disheveled clothes, he quickly came up to help her into the room: "What's the matter? Why are you outside in such a cold day?" .”
The two rough envoys were still lying at the door, Liu Hanyun looked at them, ordered Chunpi to light the lamp, and then went to inform Lord Hou.
Ji Man was wrapped in the quilt, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and said, "There is someone pretending to be Clover to scare me."
Liu Hanyun was startled, and looked around: "Alfalfa?"
"Well, it's a fake, it's a man." Ji Man touched his aching neck, took the hot tea poured by the wick and drank it: "I have a sore throat, wait until Master Hou comes."
"Didn't Lord Hou go to Luoyan Xuan?" Liu Hanyun pursed his lips and said, "I don't know if I can call you now."
During the conversation, Mu Shuiqing also came and sat quietly with her. Hearing about someone pretending to be a ghost, he frowned and said, "It really doesn't stop."
Thinking of what nothingness said about her being involved in something sinister recently, Ji Man sighed inwardly, it was true. Since the calculation is so accurate, why not help her avoid disaster or something
The women in the yard came one after another, even Wen Wan came to watch the show, but Xia Shi didn't come.
Liu Hanyun frowned and said, "Who is going to call Master Xia? Someone is playing tricks, so it's better for everyone to figure it out together."
Mo Yuhou and Nie Chenyu also came, and asked Ji Man about his passing, and Ji Man answered truthfully, after which Xia Shi finally came belatedly.
"What did you do in the middle of the night?" Xia Shi was rather dissatisfied, looking at Ji Man as if she had been woken up, and said, "Ma'am, you are so jealous, so there are so many disputes."
Ning Yuxuan glanced at her, pursed his lips and said, "I have made all the servants in the mansion stand outside the yard."
Ji Man nodded and went out holding the teacup. Many lanterns were lit outside, and every servant was a little disheveled and drowsy.
You have to catch a thief while it's hot, otherwise, after all the evidence has been destroyed, what's the point of catching it? Ji Man personally went to the pile of slaves, looked at them one by one, and removed the ones whose heights and shapes didn't match. The last eight looked the same, but one of them had a slightly wet head.
"Which yard do you belong to?" Ji Man stepped forward and asked him.
The servant bowed his head and replied: "The servant is serving in the Cailian Pavilion."
The Xia family next to him nodded: "Yes, that one is from my yard, very hardworking."
Ji Man paused, turned his head to look at Gui Bai and said, "Help me check his body, whether there are any bruises on the inside of his right arm and left shoulder."
Ghost Bai agreed, and a group of women waited to watch the show, Xia bluffed and said: "Impossible, isn't it? Madame suspects that he's going to pretend to be a ghost? He went down to rest before I went to bed."
Liu Hanyun lowered his eyes and said: "Don't talk too much, just wait and see the result."
Nie Chenyu was quite dissatisfied with being disturbed again tonight, and stood beside Ning Yuxuan impatiently. Ning Yuxuan frowned slightly as he looked at the bruise on Ji Man's neck.
"Go back to Lord Hou, Madam." Gui Bai checked out, pressed the man's hand and said, "As Madam said, this man has some bruises on the inside of his right arm and left shoulder."
So simple? Ji Man was dumbfounded, he was the only one with a wet head among the group of slaves, he was sure to catch one.
Ning Yuxuan frowned slightly, and glanced at Xia Shi. The Xia clan was a little dazed, looked at the slave and said, "It really is him..."
"Ghost Bai." Mo Yuhou said in a low voice, "Take someone to search the lotus pavilion."
"Yes." Gui Bai followed the sound and left, Xia Shi felt a little flustered: "Sleep well, you guys don't wake him up when you run."
Guibai didn't listen to her, so he led his people there. Nie Chenyu pulled Ning Yuxuan's sleeve and said: "It's not a big deal, Lord Hou, let's go back and rest? Your clothes are too thin."
Ning Yuxuan waved his hand: "You go back first, I'll go to Cailian Pavilion to have a look."
Nie Chenyu was not happy, and the person next to him smiled gently: "Sister Chen Yu is too ignorant. Of course, Madam is the most important thing in Master Hou's heart. If something happens right now, how can I care about you?"
Ning Yuxuan took a look at Wen Wan, and took Xia Shi to the Cailian Pavilion. Ji Man pursed her lips, and Liu Hanyun walked out holding her hand.
This night was destined to be non-stop, and the things used to pretend to be ghosts were found in the Cailian Pavilion, which happened to be in Xia Shi's bedroom.
Xia family knelt on the ground in a daze, Liu Hanyun snorted softly: "Thanks to Madam taking good care of you in the past, you actually want to use the pretense of being haunted to attack Madam?"
"I don't." Xia Shi pursed her lips, looked up at Mo Yuhou and said, "Master Hou believes in me, I can't do this, and this thing doesn't belong to me."
