The downstairs was full of guests, and Pei Chengyi did not continue to entangle with Lu Yunxi, and went downstairs next. Lu Yunxi watched Pei Chengyi's back disappear at the stairs, and her eyes gradually darkened.
Just now, he questioned himself in the room, his eyes full of concern for Lu Anning. He thought he had hidden it well, and Lu Yunxi was not blind.
How could she, an orphan, be loved by so many people? She was the real daughter, and all this love should belong to her.
But it doesn't matter. Now that she is dead, I can finally be at peace as the daughter of the Lu family. No one will compete with her for it anymore.
The glaring light made the smile on Lu Yunxi's face look gloomy and cold. She was about to go downstairs when the lights in the corridor suddenly flashed a few times and it became completely dark.
Lu Yunxi yelled, "What's going on? Why is there a power outage? Help! Did anyone hear that?"
The Chengyang Mansion wasn't large, but it wasn't small either. The study and banquet hall were located in the two farthest directions. So many people had come tonight, and almost everyone was busy in the banquet hall. They had just been discussing matters and had instructed that no one else be allowed to follow them. Now, Lu Yunxi was the only one left in the hallway.
A few cool breezes blew, and Lu Yunxi shivered. She looked around in the moonlight and felt a little scared for a moment.
She swallowed hard, trying to find her phone to make a call, but then she remembered she was wearing a formal dress and had given her phone to a servant. Now, she was at her wit's end.
Lu Yunxi looked around warily. The empty environment frightened her. She called out a few times, but there was no movement.
"Why is there a power outage when everything is fine?" Lu Yunxi complained. She didn't dare to walk around and could only wait for the lighting in the mansion to be restored.
With so many guests in the banquet hall, they will definitely find a way to restore the power as soon as possible. She just needs to wait for a while.
Lu Yunxi comforted herself. At this moment, a few cool breezes blew by, and she vaguely saw a shadow flash past behind her.
She was startled and turned around suddenly. There was nothing behind her. The deep corridor was winding and there was no end in sight.
Lu Yunxi swallowed her saliva and shouted, "Who is it? You're playing tricks here to scare people. Get out of here right now."
As soon as she finished speaking, the shadow floated past her again. Just as she turned around, a white silk scarf floated out from somewhere and landed on Lu Yunxi's head, covering her and blurring her vision.
Lu Yunxi screamed in fear, backing away and falling to the ground. As she frantically scrambled to find the corner, she dropped her scarf. When she looked closely, she saw a mist rising from the corridor. She frowned and tried to stand when a cold voice suddenly called out from the far end. A red figure stood at the end of the corridor, its hair disheveled and its face indistinct.
"Lu Yunxi! Lu Yunxi! Lu Yunxi..."
Lu Yunxi was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly: "You... who are you? Don't come over here! I don't know you."
"You really don't recognize me? My dear sister, take a closer look at who I am. I... am your sister!"
Lu Yunxi mustered up the courage to look, and saw a red figure in the distance suddenly flying towards her. The cold wind blew away her long hair, revealing a pale face, which looked exactly like Lu Anning.
She screamed and hid in the corner, not daring to look. She waved her hands in the air and was suddenly grabbed by a cold hand.
"Ah! Don't come over here, don't look for me."
"Lu Yunxi, you've hurt me so much! The water in the sea is too cold, and it's so dark. I'm alone, scared, and lonely. Please come down and keep me company! Please come and keep me company!"
Lu Yunxi was forced to look up and meet Lu An Ning's face. Looking at the pale face so close to her, Lu Yunxi screamed, her eyes rolled back and she fainted completely.
Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Lu An Ning pushed her hard and sneered.
It turns out that Lu Yunxi is also afraid.
Lin Tao quietly ran out from the corner: "Madam, it's almost time. I'll take you out first. The power supply to the mansion will be restored soon."
Lu Anning nodded and gave specific instructions before leaving: "Clean up all other traces. Remember to leave some water stains where Lu Yunxi fainted."
"yes."
Hongying was taken away from Chengyang Mansion quietly by Lin Tao. After a long time, Shen Yizi still didn't see Lu Yunxi show up, so she urged the servants to go and see if Lu Yunxi was hiding somewhere and slacking off.
After a while, the servant came trotting over, looking panicked, and whispered a few words in Shen Yizi's ear.
"What?"
Shen Yizhi's face suddenly darkened: "I'll go over and take a look."
Tang Jingyuan was sitting aside, talking to Pei Wenbin. Seeing Shen Yizhi's hurried expression, he guessed that the matter was settled. Sure enough, someone came over to call him and Pei Chengyi. Seeing Tang Jingyuan's presence, they hesitated.
Pei Wenbin scolded: "Young Master San is one of our family, there is nothing we cannot say."
"The young mistress fainted in the hallway just now. She woke up in her room, talking nonsense and looking a little confused. She was mumbling about something related to the Third Master's wife. Madam, please go over and take a look."
Tang Jingyuan frowned and immediately put down his wine glass: "Is it related to An Ning? Second brother, let's go and see what's going on."
It was too late for Pei Wenbin to stop him. He regretted asking the servant to say it directly. Now he had no choice but to follow. Pei Chengyi followed at the end and frowned. Thinking of Lu Yunxi's previous reaction, he looked at Tang Jingyuan again, and all kinds of doubts surged in his heart.
The three of them hurried over and heard Lu Yunxi's crazy voice before they even entered the door.
"Mother-in-law, Lu An Ning came to see me. She came to see me! Right here in this room, and she was holding my hand. I can't be wrong, Lu An Ning is back."
