"Auntie, why don't you ask these guards to take you back? After all, it's dark, and it won't be good if I have something following you here."
Aunt Meng's face turned pale and she said angrily: "No need." Then she hugged Wu Jinghua and stood up, and she and Chuntao dragged each other back.
Wu Sheyue turned around and returned to the yard. Sisi and Xiaoling didn't dare to ask any more questions and just went to clean up the mess in front of the door.
In the room, while Ning'er undressed Wu Sheyue, she asked in a low voice: "Miss, is it the second young lady who secretly came here to cause trouble today?"
Wu Sheyue took off her coat and said, "Yes, and their target should be you. But I didn't expect that it would not be you but Bai Lian who would serve me."
Ning'er felt scared for a while, thinking that it was probably her who was lying naked outside just now, and she shuddered. No wonder Wu Jinghua and Chuntao looked at her wrongly!
"Then the second lady will be punished tomorrow?"
"Probably, but I'm afraid the old lady will think I have something dirty here and cause trouble for me." Wu Sheyue was still a little worried. From the day the old lady believed her lie, she knew that this old lady was very superstitious. Since she can believe in gods helping her, she can also believe in ghosts causing mischief.
"Then what are you going to do, young lady?" Ning'er was very worried. Ghosts and gods were the most taboo.
Wu Sheyue shook her head and said, "Let's take advantage of it."
"But why did the second lady insist that there is a ghost here? And she said it so carefully, it seemed like the truth."
Wu Sheyue smiled and said, "I made something." She walked to the table in her middle coat and took out the ghost head that was placed on the window and a half-painted arm.
"Wha—ah!" Ning'er covered her unspoken exclamation, pointed at the pile of heads carefully, and asked tremblingly, "Miss, you, how do you hold—"
Wu Sheyue casually picked up the ghost head and shook it, "Don't worry, it's made of wood and is relatively light."
"Oh my god..." Ning'er slowly came closer, but she still felt that this was a real ghost, nothing looked fake at all! "Miss... it's too, too scary! Please put it away!"
Wu Sheyue casually threw the ghost head on the table and picked it up with a cloth.
Ning'er patted her chest with lingering fear, "It's too scary. I can't sleep at night... Who carved this thing? It's too scary!"
Wu Sheyue thought for a while, "I'll tell you later, we have other things to do tomorrow."
—
It rained a little early in the morning. Wu Sheyue sat in front of the window and watched the flowers and grass outside swaying in the rain. Water droplets condensed on the petals and grass leaves. The thin raindrops moistened the soil. When the wind blew, it brought A fresh feeling.
Ning'er went to Qunxingzhai early in the morning despite the drizzle.
Originally, Wu Sheyue should also go, but she already knew the outcome of today, so she was too lazy to watch the acting again. She asked Ning'er to tell her that her voice was hoarse from crying and she was still too cold to go out.
Anyway, everyone knows that he is frail and sick, so he should be fine.
Ning'er came back within half an hour, with many small droplets of water hanging on her hair.
Wu Sheyue still looked out the window and asked, "How is it?"
"Second Miss did not go to Qunxingzhai today."
Well, that's expected.
"Then what."
Ning'er said unhappily, "It's Aunt Meng and Chuntao who went there. Aunt Meng kept crying, saying that the second young lady had a high fever when she went back last night. She was frightened by dirty things, and she begged the old lady to hire a Taoist priest. "
"The old lady agreed."
"Yes, the old lady relented and said that she would deal with it after the second young lady recovers. She is temporarily locked in the yard and is not allowed to go out as before. But Chuntao's life is not so good. She has been taken away by Ya Po."
Wu Sheyue retracted her gaze and looked at Ning'er, "There must be a scapegoat for this matter, otherwise it will not be justified. Chuntao instigated the master, which is the end."
Ning'er sighed with some fright, "Aunt Meng is so cruel. It was the second young lady's idea at first glance, but she pushed Chuntao out." It is really incomparable between people, the gap between the second young lady and the third young lady It's so big.
Wu Sheyue patted her to comfort her, "Let's go and see Bai Lian's injury. When she recovers, she should leave my place."
Ning'er's heart tightened and she immediately said, "I understand."
In Bai Lian's room.
She frowned, her mind slowly clearing up. But as soon as I opened my eyes, I felt that my vision was blurry, and the back of my head felt like a needle pricking pain. "Hey, it hurts..."
"woke up?"
Bai Lian blinked and saw clearly that it was Ning'er who was looking at her with concern, and she was lying in her room
"What's wrong with me?"
Ning'er slowly helped her up, "You were knocked unconscious last night, but you made us worried."
"Why, why?"
"Hey, it's the second young lady and Chuntao." Ning'er sighed sadly, "I didn't expect that they actually robbed you. It was the young lady who heard the noise while she was still asleep and ran out, so she caught the second young lady alive."
"How is that possible?" Bai Lian covered the back of her head and stared at Ning'er in surprise. The second lady came to hit her? crazy
"I didn't believe it at the time, but... Hey, the nursing home also came at that time, as did Madam and Aunt Meng. The second young lady is at the old Madam's place right now."
“…”
Ning'er saw that Bai Lian was distracted and stuffed a bunch of bits and pieces into her hand, "Here, the second lady took them off of you."
"They are all really mine!" Bai Lian looked at the jewelry in surprise and asked again, "Is what you just said true?"
"Why are you lying to me?" Ning'er continued to smile. "Lie down well. The lady just came to see you. The lady also said that the eldest lady is also very angry when you are injured like this! Let me take your place in the next few days. You, just rest in peace for a while."
Bai Lian was about to get up when she was startled. She squeezed Ning'er down and worked so much more, but still got nothing. Now she was going to be squeezed back
Ning'er smiled and held her down with one hand, "You have a good rest. The lady said, let you have a lot of rest."
"..." Ning'er used several words, which made Bai Lian even more worried.
She felt that something was wrong, that something might have been missed. But Ning'er's words were not afraid of verification. This feeling of missing something important was really frightening.
In the days that followed, the Prime Minister's Mansion fell into silence again. At that time, Aunt Liu and Wu Lixiang saw Wu Jinghua's state. After witnessing Wu Sheyue's victory and Wu Jinghua's cheating, they would definitely think about it for a while. Aunt Zhao and Wu Yin'er were low-key, and Wu Liuyun was very arrogant. He never wanted to talk to them, and he never had anything to do with them.
Ning'er had naturally returned to Wu Sheyue, while Bai Lian had to "recuperate". Sisi and Xiaoling had only listened to Ning'er all this time, and Bailian was almost useless. (To be continued)
