Lu Ze said, "Ghosts are all supernatural creations. There are no ghosts in this world."

Lingling said: "If there is a ghost, there is a ghost. Lingling wants Guigui to play together!"

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "Lingling will sleep with you tonight."

When Qi Yuning turned to leave, Lingling called out, "Mother, kiss me, Lingling wants mother to kiss me."

Qi Yuning walked over to Lingling and said, "If you can't play with Guigui, then Mommy will sleep with you."

Lingling said, "I want Guigui to sleep with my mother."

Qi Yuning: "..."

The eunuch on night watch outside heard the commotion inside and came in to greet him, "Prince, Princess, is there anything wrong?"

Qi Yuning coughed and asked, "Is there a ghost here?"

The head eunuch's eyes flickered and he said, "It is haunted. Two years ago, His Royal Highness Prince Duan was killed by a water ghost here!"

"Ah!" The timid Jingzhe screamed.

Qi Yuning maintained her princess demeanor and said, "Jingzhe, stop yelling. Didn't His Royal Highness Prince Duan drown? How could he have been killed by a ghost?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Duan was dragged into the water by a water ghost and died. We saw it with our own eyes."

The eunuch's voice was shrill, and it was even more creepy when the cold wind blew through the late autumn night.

Lu Ze's eyes glared. "How can there be a saying in this world that water ghosts kill people? It's all just some weird and supernatural thing."

Qi Yuning only felt her feet were extremely cold, but Lingling was still saying, "Lingling wants to play with Guigui in the water."

"No, Master Lu, there really was a rumor in my hometown when I was a child that water ghosts who fall into the water need to find a substitute before they can be reincarnated."

Jingzhe trembled and said, "So there really is a ghost here! Could it be the ghost of Prince Duan..."

Lu Ze said slowly, "If it really is my third uncle's ghost, he will never hurt anyone. I'll go check by the lotus pond first."
