Yan Li loved that crooked tree; she loved it in life and she still loved it in death.
By the time Wen Hao reacted, Yan Li had already floated out of the window. With light steps, she soon hung herself on the crooked tree again.
In no time at all, her tongue came out.
With tears of blood streaming from her eyes, she stared straight at Wen Hao, who was still standing at the window.
Anyone who witnessed this horrifying scene would want to immediately find a Taoist priest to exorcise the ghost, but Wen Hao was an oddball.
He remained calm, as if he hadn't seen Yan Li. He stood by the window for a while before sitting back down at his desk.
Yan Li frowned and hugged the tree trunk with both hands: Can't you really see her?
In the study, Wen Hao's lips twitched involuntarily, and he finally couldn't help but chuckle softly.
…*…
Since learning that she was a ghost, Yan Li has become increasingly unrestrained in her behavior, and she always likes to hide the items in the study when Wen Hao is not around.
From a small calligraphy brush to any item in the study, anything could potentially fall victim to her 'poisonous hands'.
"Who has visited my study today?"
After the lecture, Wen Hao returned to his residence looking quite exhausted. As soon as he opened the door to his study, he found it in a complete mess.
The cups and saucers were shattered all over the floor, and the books that had been placed on the bookshelf were scattered all over the floor as well.
Almost instantly, Wen Hao strode into the study, his expression urgent as he searched for something. The old butler following closely behind him was also startled, and upon seeing the scene inside, he froze on the spot.
How could this be?
The servants in the mansion all know the rules; if there's nothing wrong, they would never enter the study, let alone leave it in such a mess.
Without hesitation, Wen Hao began rummaging through a pile of junk, while outside, the old steward quickly gathered all the servants in the mansion together.
Old butler: "Who among you entered the master's room today?"
The servants who had been summoned looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Steward Hu, even if you gave us a hundred times the courage, we wouldn't dare to enter the master's study and act presumptuously."
Everyone in the household knows the rules of this lord.
When the young lady was still alive, they dared not enter or leave this study at will. After she passed away, they were even less daring.
"If it wasn't you, then who entered the master's study? And how were you guarding the door?" Butler Hu rebuked the group of people who were shirking responsibility with a hint of anger.
Meanwhile, Wen Hao in the study had already found what he wanted.
The unfinished painting from yesterday has now been torn in two, and large pieces of rice paper are now stained with stains that cannot be ignored or repaired.
Wen Hao held the destroyed painting in his hand, slightly raised his eyes, glanced at Yan Li who was watching the commotion, and his thoughts became even more chaotic.
Is it her?
She still resented him.
Otherwise, why wouldn't they even allow him to keep a single painting?
In the past few days, the things in the study have been moved around frequently, and Wen Hao is aware of it all. He even puts on a show for Yan Li just to make her happy.
At this moment, Yan Li was sitting on the roof beam, his legs swinging leisurely, a smile playing on his lips, but it seemed more like he was watching with schadenfreude.
He was called fickle and promiscuous, leaving his mark everywhere; now he's getting his comeuppance.
It was at this time.
Outside, a servant sweeping the courtyard slapped his forehead, as if just remembering something, "I remember now, Miss Yan came to the manor today..."
Meanwhile, inside the house.
Wen Hao suddenly stood up, ignoring the torn scroll he had just put down, and rushed towards the door. He stared at the servant, his voice turning cold.
"Say it again, who came?"
When Butler Hu saw Wen Hao come out, looking so flustered, he instinctively assumed that something valuable had been stolen from the study. He turned around, pointed at the servant, and shouted:
"Feng Liu, the magistrate is asking you a question. Quickly tell him everything you know!"
The servant, who had been lost in thought, was so startled by Wen Hao's appearance that he immediately knelt down. Upon hearing the steward's words, he panicked and dared not conceal anything further.
"My lord, I remember it very clearly. It was indeed that young lady from the Yan family who came. At that time, she was wearing a bright red long dress, a pearl flower in her hair, and a bell on her foot that jingled with every step she took."
"At the time, I was sweeping the yard. When I heard the noise, I rushed over to ask her to leave. But Miss Yan said she had something to discuss with the master and went straight to the front hall to wait for him to return."
“I am a lowly person with little influence, so I naturally couldn’t ask anyone to drive her out of the mansion. I let her sit in the front hall and went to the back to brew a pot of tea. I didn’t expect that when I came out again, she was no longer in the front hall.”
"I thought she didn't want to wait and went back. I didn't expect her to cause trouble in your study."
As Feng Liu spoke, his voice trembled slightly.
Upon hearing these words, Wen Hao couldn't help but sneer repeatedly.
That guy from the Yan family is really something. Since he can't teach his own daughter well, he might as well find someone else to teach her.
Everyone knew who Miss Yan was, even Yan Li, who was perched on the roof beam.
Wen Hao does have a good appearance; just standing there, he exudes an extraordinary aura, attracting the attention of countless people, regardless of gender or age.
The Miss Yan they were talking about was none other than her cousin, Yan Menghuai, who had been kicked out of her home.
Even before she died, Yan Menghuai had always been thinking about Wen Hao. Now that she has been dead for three years, she wants even more to replace her and become Wen Hao's new wife.
