"What's the big deal...it's just a nightmare, is it necessary to make a fuss about it?" An Qingran felt that Rendong was making a big deal out of nothing.

I yawned and went back to sleep.

"But Qiaojie said that even the concubines wanted to search the whole yard for evil spirits, which means that our yard is the first choice!" Rendong continued.

An Qingran was finally successfully tormented by her. She sighed and sat up: "She is looking for an evil ghost, not a bad person. Let her find it. I really don't know how long she will stop!"

Honeysuckle also nodded: "She has been very quiet in the past few months. How come she suddenly has a nightmare again? Miss, do you think this nightmare is true or false?"

"I say...if a person's heart is upright, evil will not invade!" An Qingran said with a smile.

Honeysuckle also smiled when she heard this: "I agree with what the lady said!"

She originally thought it was just a nightmare, which had already frightened the servants. What else could she do?

But unexpectedly, that night, An Qingran was sleeping soundly when the gate of the courtyard was suddenly knocked. Before she could react, she heard the scream of the little maid, and then there was a noise. An Qingran got up and put on her clothes. Just as Ren Dong pushed open the door, she heard a shrill voice from the courtyard: "Stop..."

"I just don't believe that I can't kill you..."

Want to kill more people?

An Qingran picked up a thin-necked vase in her hand, and Rendong quickly turned around, closed the door and locked it: "Miss, please hide in the house quickly, that concubine is waving a knife in the yard!"

"Even the concubine? Let me go out and see if she really hurts anyone^"

"Miss, you can't go out. The guards will be here soon. If the knife flies out, who can guarantee that it won't hurt anyone?" Rendong hugged An Qingran.

An Qingran smiled and said, "Ren Dong, do you think I'm just a child? Don't worry, I know my limits!"

The master and servant were arguing in the room, and a voice from outside came in again:

"I'll fight you now, since you've tortured me to death at night!"

"Goddess Guanyin, come and save me!"

"Amitabha, kill that monster..."

An Qingran smiled bitterly: "How many gods and immortals are needed to come here to handle this..."

At this time, a man's voice appeared in the yard again. It must be the guards patrolling the general's mansion. They said in a deep voice: "Concubine Lian, please speak softly. Everyone in the mansion is asleep. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow..."

"What do you know? I just chased a goblin with a red beard and green eyes to this yard. If I were a little later, it would have run away and the young lady would have been frightened... Look, it's right there!" As he said that, the servant ran over the wall and threw the knife over. In the end, the knife stabbed into the tree, and Lian Jinrong calmed down. "It finally ran away. Tell the young lady to be careful and don't open the doors and windows..."

As she spoke, her voice became lower and lower, and finally it became completely quiet. An Qingran sat back on the head of the bed. She felt a little depressed. No matter whether this Lian Jinrong was real or not, if he came to bother her once a day, she would not be able to sleep well!

This time, Rendong really believed what Lian Jinrong said and closed all the windows and doors. As a result, the room was like a steamer and An Qingran couldn't sleep at all. In the morning, she was lazy in bed again. Rendong didn't call her this time, but the yard became chaotic and An Qingran woke up.

Ren Dong saw that she was awake, but whispered back: "Master An cried loudly last night, saying that he had a child and wanted to take him away..."

"What?" An Qingran's mind was in a mess.

"Young Master An had a nightmare last night and had a high fever when he woke up this morning. The maids and boys in the yard are all in a state of unrest. Some are catching chickens, some are beating dogs, and even the concubine is told not to let these things get close. From Young Master An's description, the child seems to be a chicken demon!" said Honeysuckle.

"What monster? Where is the monster?" An Qingran jumped up. This was exactly what she had imagined. She didn't know what her father would say for making such a fuss.

When Lian Jinyu knew that An Mingxuan had a high fever, she went to Lanxiao Pavilion with An Qingran. Because the tutor had been sold, An Mingxuan stayed here temporarily and was taken care of by Lian Jinrong.

When they went in, Lian Jinrong came out with dark circles under her eyes and a bitter look on her face.

Lian Jinyu asked, "What happened? Did you call a doctor? When did the problem start? Why didn't you notify me?"

Lian Jinrong said with a bitter face: "Sister, Xuan'er was shouting in the middle of the night that he didn't want to go out. I didn't know what was going on. I just thought he had a nightmare, but he ran around the room unexpectedly. Finally, he was pushed back to bed, but he still had a high fever. The doctor just came to see him, but didn't say anything. He only left a prescription. The maids are decocting the medicine..."

Lian Jinyu walked quickly. As soon as she entered the room, she saw the little person lying on the bed. His cheeks were strangely red, his eyes were closed, and he was sleeping...

An Qingran looked into the room. The curtains were half-drawn and the light was dim. She walked to the window and pulled open the curtains. The light shone onto the bed. An Mingxuan, who was sleeping, suddenly screamed, "No, no!"

Lian Jinrong hurriedly pulled the curtains shut: "He's afraid of the light!"

Afraid of light? How could this happen?

An Qingran looked at her poor brother in confusion. Although he had done a lot of evil things in his previous life, he was still a child after all. Seeing his current appearance, she felt a little tender in her heart and asked, "Did Mingxuan get hurt by something?"

Lian Jinrong shook her head: "I can't say for sure. These past few days, I've had nightmares every day. When I opened my eyes, there were shadows of different sizes on the floor. I couldn't see clearly, but they looked scary. I thought I was weak and attracted some unclean things, but I didn't expect Mingxuan to be like this. He is an authentic male of the An Mansion and has the righteousness of a general!"

An Qingran felt that the way she spoke was not like that, and all kinds of nonsense came out.

She didn't say anything. At this moment, another doctor came. He was invited by An Zhongtao. It turned out that when he went to court, he heard that An Mingxuan was sick. He didn't have time to come and see him, so he asked the imperial physician to come to his house directly.

After listening to Lian Jinrong's description, the imperial physician prescribed some tranquilizing medicine for An Mingxuan. Lian Jinyu asked about the specific situation again, and the imperial physician said that it was nothing serious and just needed two doses of medicine!

After hearing him say this, Lian Jinyu felt relieved.

The next morning, An Qingran heard that An Mingxuan had not recovered but his condition had worsened. This made Lian Jinrong panic. She didn't know what to do, so she went to the old lady to help her find a solution, because older people have seen more.

The old lady looked at her and said, "If a child is frightened, call his soul back and he will be fine. Who hasn't been frightened when they were little?"

Lian Jinrong said with a sad face: "I have called him, but it is of no use. He ran straight to the yard by himself last night, and the little maid who was on night watch was just taking a nap. If she hadn't found him, I don't know what would have happened!"
