Hearing this, a chill quickly ran up from his spine to the top of his head, and Rong Baichuan shivered.
Rong Baichuan is afraid of ghosts, even his mother's ghost.
Rong Chaoxi in his arms touched Rong Baichuan's neck, as if to comfort him.
Rong Baichuan swallowed his saliva and said, "It's daytime now, it shouldn't come out, right?"
Butler Chen shook his head repeatedly with a bitter face, looking like he was holding back a lot of fear.
"Who did the ghost possess?" Qin Nanjing guessed.
Butler Chen pursed his lips and nodded frantically.
"Do you know who it is?"
"Yes..." Butler Chen carefully glanced around again and lowered his voice, "It's the Second Madam."
Everyone who listened closely stood up straight, as if they had suddenly realized something.
From this perspective, the whole family was stricken with bad luck. Mrs. Hu was the worst hit, having lost her life.
It is also possible that the bad luck of the Annan Marquisate was brought by the ghost in Mrs. Hu's body.
Rong Xuqing grabbed Qin Nanjing's sleeve and squeezed into the crowd.
Rong Yubai patted the hand on his shoulder, and Rong Yuanyou loosened his grip a little.
"Yihuayuan was inexplicably attacked by ghosts for three days. They said that they saw the Second Madam's original soul being devoured that day."
"Now this lady's core is an evil ghost..."
Steward Chen's face, which was already full of wrinkles, was now wrinkled into a ball. The servants were discussing it in private, and only the masters above were unaware of it.
"General, why don't you move back? You are an invincible general, and your righteous energy should be able to suppress her..."
Before Butler Chen finished speaking, Rong Baichuan quickly refused.
"No, no, my general's mansion is very good..."
“Ahhhhh…
Just then, several screams were heard from not far away.
Rong Baichuan was so frightened that he immediately hugged Qin Nanjing.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's daytime now..."
Qin Nanjing swallowed and remained calm, "Let's go and take a look, make sure nothing happens."
Following the sound, everyone found the courtyard of Rong Qiwang's concubine, Xianghe.
The servants rushed out from the courtyard gate, all with fear and horror on their faces. When they saw Rong Baichuan, it was as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"General, someone is killing someone inside, someone is killing someone..."
Upon hearing this, Rong Baichuan walked in quickly.
In the yard, Mrs. Hu was sitting on the ground with blood on her hands and a look of fear on her face.
Rong Shihan stood aside, his face also filled with horror and pale.
On the swing set in the yard, a broken wooden stake was stuck in Xianghe's chest. Blood was still flowing down, forming a pool of blood at her feet.
She died with her eyes open.
"Someone, come and report to the authorities." Rong Baichuan said in a deep voice.
"No...you can't report it to the authorities." Hu suddenly came to her senses and shouted sternly, "I didn't kill him, you can't report it to the authorities!"
…
In the main hall.
The old man and the old woman sat at the top, looking like a dying tree.
Rong Shihan and Hu knelt in the middle.
Rong Baichuan and Qin Nanjing sat on one side with heavy expressions.
The children were sent outside to play.
"It's New Year's Day, what are you doing?" The old lady was already exhausted, and her words were weak.
This morning, Mrs. Hu was happily preparing for the New Year's Eve banquet.
When passing by Xianghe's yard, I heard a quarrel coming from inside.
It was Xianghe who was holding Rong Shihan's sleeve.
"Young Master, why didn't you come to see Xianghe when you came back this time?" She showed her charming look.
Rong Shihan pushed her away menacingly, "You are my father's concubine now, so just behave yourself."
"But this is not what Xiang He wants." Xiang He pulled Rong Shi Han again with grievance, "You know, I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you."
"You said you'd let me stay with you after I did that."
"When the Second Madam found me, I thought you asked her to find me, but I didn't expect that later..." She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I gave myself to the Second Master, and I was also calculated by someone..."
When Mrs. Hu heard this, she became furious.
That bitch not only seduced her husband, but now she is seducing her son.
He immediately rushed in and wrestled with her.
This led to the current situation... Xianghe's tragic death.
Naturally, Hu would not reveal the specific reasons.
"Mom and Dad, I really didn't mean it..." Mrs. Hu hurriedly defended herself, "That vixen wanted to seduce Shihan. She wanted to ruin my son. I just pushed her back. I really didn't intend to kill her..."
If you really wanted her dead, why would you make such a big fuss? You could just handle it secretly.
Everyone believed what she said was true.
but……
"Although Xianghe escaped from home, she is a good citizen. This matter... needs to be reported to the police." Rong Baichuan said without doubt.
"Brother..." Rong Qiwang disagreed, "If this kind of thing gets out, do you want people to laugh at our mansion?"
Qin Nanjing frowned and asked, "Xiang He was your concubine. If she died, wouldn't you care at all?"
"She's just a lowly concubine, what's there to worry about?" Rong Qi Wang looked indifferent.
In his eyes, women are just tools for satisfying his desires and he has never given them his true heart.
"You..." Qin Nanjing was shaking with anger.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Rong Baichuan raised his foot and kicked Rong Qiwang over. "That's a life!"
"Butler Chen! Go report to the police..."
"Shut up!" the old man suddenly interrupted the argument.
His face was heavy. "Nothing happened in the mansion today. Tell everyone below to keep their mouths shut!"
"You are taking human life lightly!" Rong Baichuan was furious and kicked Rong Qiwang again.
"Uncle, this is all Shihan's fault. This incident was caused by Shihan. My mother has nothing to do with it. I am willing to take full responsibility." Rong Shihan bowed to the old man and said, "Grandson will turn himself in now."
But he looked indifferent, without any regret.
"What do you mean by surrender? Cough cough cough..." The old man roared, and then started coughing violently.
"Rong Baichuan, this is a family matter of my mansion, get out!" He roared at Rong Baichuan.
"Who the hell wants to meddle in your family affairs!" Rong Baichuan was so angry that he cursed loudly and turned to leave. The old man warned again:
"Don't let anyone know what happened today. If I hear anything outside, you... you will be an unfilial descendant of the Qinan Rong family!!"
"Tsk..." Rong Baichuan sneered and turned away angrily.
This incident was indeed an accident, and the servants who were following Hu at the time can testify to this.
Reporting it to the police would only make it a laughing stock for outsiders.
Even though we don't want it to be spread out, there is no wall that is completely airtight in the world.
The rumor that Hu might have been replaced by an evil spirit still spread.
Another concubine died suddenly in the family for no apparent reason, so naturally, everyone thought of the murder as an evil spirit.
The ladies who had originally planned to go out for fun during the New Year sent people to return their invitations and have since avoided the Annan Marquis's Mansion.
Because of Xianghe's death, Mrs. Hu was exhausted both physically and mentally, and had no time to think about why they suddenly distanced themselves from her.
