In fact, Ji Qian originally wanted to switch rooms with Ying Xu, but considering that Xu Qi was next door, and to avoid any strange rumors about Ji Qian, Ying Xu considerately declined the suggestion.

In fact, Ying Xu should thank Ji Qian. Thanks to Ji Qian's explanation of the 'aristocratic couple's room,' many of Ying Xu's doubts were resolved.

Heaven knows how confused Ying Xu was when he entered the room yesterday and saw the embroidered bed curtains with tassels hanging on the bed canopy.

For a moment, Ying Xu even thought he had accidentally wandered into a female guest's room.

[As expected of the Countess's room, it's on a completely different level from Miyasi's!]

As expected, the minimalist style is worthless compared to the glamorous style.

[Miyesi: Are you being polite?]

So... Ying Xu is staying in the Countess's room?

This room is too luxurious; it's too much for a young man like Ying Xu to handle. Let me stay here to balance things out.

[You've really messed with my plans!]

This bed looks so soft and bouncy; it must make exercising so much easier.

Sisters, this is a live chat, not a no-man's-land.

After leaving Ying Xu's room, Wang Yingying's room is right across the street. Her room is basically the same as Mi Yesi's room, except for the color scheme.

The curtains in the room were almost all made of pink silk with intricate patterns, which stung Ji Qian's eyes. After arranging them, she quickly left the scene and headed towards the last bedroom.

Han Mengyao's room was at the end of the corridor and was the largest room on the fourth floor.

Because the previous rooms were very safe, Ji Qian couldn't help but relax her vigilance when she opened the door this time. Unexpectedly, this moment of relaxation led to her being enveloped by the black mist that rushed towards her.

"Qianqian!"

"Ji Qian!"

"Sister Qian!"

The others were shocked to see this and wanted to step forward to stop it, but they didn't know how to do it and could only watch helplessly as Ji Qian was engulfed by the black mist.

Xu Qi was initially startled, but calmed down after realizing it was just a cloud of black mist. Seeing the others' anxious expressions, he calmly advised them:

"Don't worry, this thing can't hurt her."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Ji Qian struggled out of the black mist, which then dissipated into the air without leaving a trace.

"Qianqian, what was that just now?"

Seeing that Ji Qian was swaying, Han Mengyao quickly stepped forward to support her.

With Han Mengyao's help, Ji Qian shook her head, finally regaining some clarity, before dry heaving without a care for appearances.

"Ugh, I never thought foreign ghosts could be so disgusting!"

Seeing that Ji Qian was too busy to answer their questions, everyone turned their attention to Xu Qi, who was clearly in the know.

Xu Qi didn't keep them in suspense and directly revealed the true form of the black mist:

"That thing is the resentment left behind after a ghost is devoured. Although it is very rare, it is not very lethal. If an ordinary person is trapped in it, at most he will be in a daze for a while and then fall seriously ill."

Upon hearing the phrase "seriously ill," Han Mengyao instinctively tightened her grip on Ji Qian's hand. Ji Qian noticed this and offered words of comfort:

"Sister Meng, I'm fine, it's just that this stuff smells disgusting, it makes me feel nauseous."

After resting for a while, Ji Qian grabbed Xu Qi and pushed open Han Mengyao's door again.

"No! Ji Qian, why are you pulling me?!"

Xu Qi hadn't expected Ji Qian to drag him into this, and after a brief moment of stunned silence, he began to struggle frantically.

Ji Qian pushed the door open smoothly, completely unaffected by Xu Qi's struggles, and even kindly explained:

"What if there's something else hidden? Maybe you can lure them out."

"So you're using your dear childhood friend as bait?!"

"Oh dear, this has always been the case since you were little. You should be used to it by now!"

Ignoring Xu Qi's protests, Ji Qian dragged him around Han Mengyao's room until she was sure nothing else would suddenly appear before reluctantly letting him go.

As soon as Ji Qian let go, Xu Qi instantly ran to the middle of the group, fearing that the other party would use him as a ghost trap again.

[This has always been the case since childhood... I'm suddenly very curious about how you two spent your childhood.]

[Is there anyone in the know who can reveal this?]

[Seeking inside information, a devout woman prays for a balanced diet of meat and vegetables throughout her life, just like Zhen Huan's prayer.jpg]

[An insider has arrived! Xu Qi, Ji Qian, and I came from the same orphanage. They were inseparable since childhood, but I wasn't close to them. To be precise, apart from Xu Qi and Liu Xia, none of the other children were familiar with Ji Qian.]

[Was my sister Qian ostracized when she was a child...?]

I used to criticize Ji Qian, and suddenly my conscience is bothering me.

[How dare someone who ostracized another person expose them? Aren't they afraid of being cyberbullied?]

[Please listen to what I have to say. Ji Qian hung the bully in our compound from a tree on her second day here, because he tried to drink her beverage. She's unpopular because nobody dares to approach her!]

[...As expected of her]

Knowing that my sister Qian is as strong as ever, I feel relieved.

Thinking about it carefully, it's really impossible for Sister Qian to be bullied.

Yes, look how badly Director Liu has been tortured.

Wait, we've gone off-topic. So what's this about Xu Qi being used as bait?

[I'm here! Just finished a meeting. Master was furious about Xu Qi spreading rumors that he was selling fake books. Qi Qi is probably in big trouble when he gets back.]

Great news!

[Senior brother, you're finally here! Come and answer our questions!]

[This is actually quite simple. When Qiqi was little, she was very prone to attracting ghosts, and Ji Qian was easily frightened. So whenever she got really scared, she would use Qiqi to gather all the ghosts together and then deal with them all at once.]

I had the misfortune of witnessing this when I visited the orphanage. I thought this situation had disappeared as the two children grew up. I never imagined it would see the light of day again. I miss it so much!

[Xu Qi: Senior brother, are you being polite?]

Hahaha, my senior brother is quite the comedian!

Suddenly I feel like Xu Qi is pretty lucky; he hasn't been played to death yet.

[You can't say that. If Ji Qian hadn't been there to protect him, Qiqi might have been devoured by ghosts before he even saw my master.]

Oh my god, now that you mention it, it suddenly feels so dangerous.

Thank you, Sister Qian, for protecting Qiqi!

Thank you, Sister Qian!

[Go, Qianjie! As long as Qiqi is alive and has his face intact, you can do whatever you want with him!]

[Xu Qi: ???]

You won't believe how big Han Mengyao's room is until you visit! It's ridiculously large, with a separate living room and dressing room, and even a huge balcony with a view outside the window!

Unfortunately, due to limited resources, Ji Qian reluctantly gave up the viewing balcony and only enclosed the interior of the house.

Miyesi, who had been following the tour, couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when she saw this room:

"Normally, shouldn't the largest room in the house be the master bedroom and mistress's room? How come this room is so much bigger than Ying Xu and Xu Qi's? And,"

Miyesi looked at the exquisite reliefs on the ceiling and the jewelry and embroidery decorations everywhere: "This place looks too luxurious."

Regarding this, Han Mengyao, who had the opportunity to have an in-depth conversation with the former mistress, had some guesses: "This may be the room of Countess Brooke's aunt."
