Chapter 599
Haunted? Cen Xiyan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the news brought back by Yingxue, with a look of surprise on his pretty face.
Although she has been a human being for two lifetimes, she also believes that maybe people really have souls, but she still cannot believe that the Cen Mansion is haunted, and she always feels it is a bit ridiculous.
But Yingxue looked nervous and lively, and vividly told about the haunting incident she had heard.
"I heard that many people heard the cry in the middle of the night last night. It was so sad and tragic that it was so penetrating! The cry came from Aunt Zhao's yard. There was a night watchman in the yard.
The mother-in-law also saw a ghost in the yard and was so frightened that she fainted on the spot! She is still having a fever! I also heard that the cry was a bit rough, not that of a young woman, but rather that of an older woman.
The voice of a middle-aged woman..." At this point, Yingxue paused, lowered her voice, and continued: "Now it is being spread in the house that it is the soul of Mrs. Wei, who is unwilling to accept her unjust death.
So she refuses to enter the underworld and wants to kill the person who killed her..."
"The voice of a middle-aged woman?" Hearing this, Cen Xiyan raised his eyebrows again.
Yingxue nodded repeatedly, and then said with a mysterious face: "Miss, tell me, is it true that Mrs. Wei was killed by Aunt Zhao? Now that Mrs. Wei's ghost is back, is she looking for Aunt Zhao to settle the score?"
Before Cen Xiyan could speak, Jingshuang, who was reading a medical book at the side, hit Yingxue on the head with the book, glared at her and said: "What ghosts are not ghosts? Don't scare me with such nonsense."
Miss!"
However, Yingxue curled her lips and retorted in a low voice: "What I said was nonsense! It was not just one or two people who heard Mrs. Wei's cry. There were also people who saw it with their own eyes. It can't be fake! Moreover, our lady
If you are brave, you won't be afraid of those ghosts and ghosts! Haven't you heard a saying? Don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door! Then Madam Wei must have died unjustly, and I think she must be the same as that
Aunt Zhao has nothing to do with it! Otherwise, why didn’t Madam Wei’s ghost go somewhere else to cry, instead of crying in Aunt Zhao’s yard?”
Jingshuang couldn't say anything to refute what Yingxue said so plausibly. She remembered that the night before Madam Wei's funeral, she and her lady went to examine Madam Wei's body, and she couldn't help but feel confused.
I feel a chill down my spine...
At this time, Cen Xiyan raised the corners of his lips, smiled, and said: "Ying Xue is right in what she said, if you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door..." After a pause, he smiled again and said: "That's right.
, I think this matter is quite interesting, so I will go and take a look at it tonight to see how the 'ghost' calls the door..."
After hearing Cen Xiyan's words, Yingxue couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked: "Miss, are you planning to visit Zhao's yard at night?"
Cen Xiyan nodded, "That's the plan."
When Yingxue heard this, she immediately shuddered and said, "Miss, aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?" Cen Xiyan glanced at Yingxue and said, "Didn't you just say that your young lady is very brave, so I'm not afraid of those ghosts and ghosts?"
"Uh..." Yingxue couldn't say anything else, and finally muttered, "That's what they said, but what they said was so weird..."
Jingshuang thought of the third master of the Cen family, Cen Lan, whom she met that night when she and Cen Xiyan went to examine Madam Wei's body. Looking at Cen Xiyan's face, she roughly guessed what her young lady was thinking. She was afraid that when the young lady said something to the ghost, she would be filled with emotions in her heart.
I was a little suspicious, so I said, "Miss, please be more careful at night." and said nothing else.
Late at night, Cen Xiyan changed into his night clothes, quietly left Jinglan Pavilion and went to Zhao's courtyard.
Cen Xiyan has strong martial arts skills and deep internal strength. She soon realized that the secret security of the Cen Mansion seemed to be even tighter. Presumably, she was discovered by her father Cen Ao that night, and Cen Ao had people tighten the security!
She didn't dare to be careless and acted more cautiously.
Cen Xiyan's guess was good, because Cen Ao didn't know who An Wan was visiting Cen's house at night. He was thinking that it was going on, so he ordered people to strengthen the vigilance against Cen's house.
However, the previous day only strengthened the manpower at the study area, the courtyard of Mrs. Lao Cen, and the residence of the crown prince Cen Hongyi. After all, Mrs. Zhao was just an aunt, so no additional manpower was sent.
It wasn't until the "haunting" incident happened last night that Cen Ao strengthened the guards around Zhao's yard.
Cen Ao didn't really believe the theory of being haunted. He felt that it might have something to do with the person who came to Cen's house to explore at night, but he didn't know what his purpose was.
In Cen Ao's view, no matter what the other party's purpose is, this is a provocation! If the thief comes again tonight, he will definitely tell "him" to never return!
Cen Xiyan quietly avoided several hidden whistles and sneaked into Zhao's courtyard. He listened carefully and found that the courtyard was quiet. Apparently the "ghost" hadn't come yet.
The light was still on in Zhao's room, it seemed that she had not fallen asleep yet.
This time she didn't dare to go to the roof. After thinking for a moment, she went around to the back window of Zhao's bedroom, wet her hands in her mouth, quietly poked a hole in the window paper, and looked inside.
Mother Feng was still the only one accompanying Mrs. Zhao in the room. At this moment, Mrs. Feng was holding a small bowl, handed it to Mrs. Zhao, and said: "Madam, this is a soothing soup. You drink it quickly. You should rest early."
"
Mrs. Zhao took the soup bowl with slightly trembling hands, held it and drank.
Cen Xiyan carefully observed Zhao's face and found that her face was pale and her lips were pale, but her eye circles were green and black. Her eyes, which were already quite big, now turned into a pair of panda eyes.
It seems that Mrs. Zhao was troubled by "ghosts" and must not have had a good rest last night. I'm afraid she will be on tenterhooks during the day today, right?
Mrs. Zhao finished drinking the soothing soup, and Mother Feng collected the bowl and went out.
Mrs. Zhao stretched out her hand, pulled Feng's mother's sleeve, and said in a somewhat urgent voice: "Don't leave!"
Mother Feng sighed softly and said to comfort Mrs. Zhao: "Madam, I'm not going to leave. I'm going to collect the bowl and I'll be back soon."
"Tell her to put it away! You can stay with me in this room tonight!" Mrs. Zhao still held Feng's mother and refused to let go.
Feng's mother had no choice but to ask a maid who was on night duty in the outer room to come in and let the girl take the bowl. Then she went to Mrs. Zhao's side and said, "Madam, please go to sleep. This old slave is here, watching over you, madam."
"
Mrs. Zhao lay down as instructed, but she still stared at the bed in a daze, unable to fall asleep.
