Thinking about this possibility, she felt relieved.
Yes, that must be it, otherwise Xie Jingrun's behavior would be inexplicable.
It seems that Xie Jingrun's Qingxing Garden is indeed haunted!
"Don't go near Qingxing Garden unless it's absolutely necessary. I suspect it's haunted," she instructed Xiaotao.
Xiao Tao's eyes widened in surprise, "Haunted?"
"Yeah, I ran into him last night. Xie Jingrun must have been possessed by a ghost, otherwise why would he be so kind as to carry me back?"
Xiao Tao thought about it and realized that what the young lady said made sense.
After all, the Marquis's bad temper was notorious, and it was impossible for him to condescend to hug someone.
She said that the Marquis was acting strangely last night, even covering the young lady with a blanket.
It seems that the Marquis is truly possessed by a ghost.
"But Miss, the one who possessed the Marquis must be a kind ghost."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"Because the Marquis brought you back last night and covered you with a blanket," Xiao Tao explained.
Rong Qingqing: "..."
Why does she feel a chill down her back?
"That ghost, could it be that she's taken a liking to you?" Xiao Tao's eyes widened in surprise at the thought.
"Cough cough cough!" Rong Qingqing choked on her own saliva, goosebumps rising all over her body. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Even the kindest ghost wouldn't be kind to someone for no reason, right?" Xiaotao said innocently.
"Stop talking." Rong Qingqing was completely exasperated.
Just then, Xingchun's voice rang out from outside, "Madam, the head of the Changlin Guard is here."
Xiao Tao quickly went out, and when she came back, she was holding a piece of clothing in her arms, and her expression was extremely strange.
Rong Qingqing had already gotten out of bed and was washing her face in front of the washstand.
"What did Changlin tell you?"
"He handed this to the maid, saying that the Marquis instructed you to make sure it was thoroughly cleaned."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing turned around and looked at her. "What?" When she saw the men's clothes in her arms, she frowned. "Why do you want me to wash them for him?" Are the servants in the mansion just for show? Why do they ask her to do everything?
"The Marquis said that the saliva on these clothes was from you last night, and he told you to make sure to wash it clean and not to let anyone else do it." Xiao Tao repeated what Chang Lin had said, her expression becoming increasingly strange.
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing's face darkened, and she said angrily, "When did I drool on his clothes? He's slandering me! I don't want to wash his clothes, give them back to Changlin."
“But Changlin has already left. Miss, why don’t I wash the Marquis instead? That way he won’t get angry and cause you trouble. Anyway, he didn’t send anyone to keep an eye on him, so he won’t know that I washed it.” Xiaotao said.
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing grasped her hand and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
"Don't worry, Miss, I'll go wash right away," Xiao Tao said with a smile.
After Xiao Tao left, Rong Qingqing sat in front of the dressing mirror, combing her hair and humming a song, feeling quite at ease.
Unfortunately, after a short while, Xiao Tao returned with a long face.
Rong Qingqing saw it through the mirror and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I was just about to wash when a member of the Imperial Guard suddenly appeared. I was terrified!" Xiao Tao said, patting her chest.
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing understood everything. She sighed and said, "Never mind, it's just washing a piece of clothing. I can wash it myself." With that, she got up and took Xie Jingrun's clothes from her hands.
That jerk! It's just a tattered shirt, why does she have to wash it? What's even more outrageous is that she even sent the Imperial Guards to keep an eye on it.
Is his shirt inlaid with gold? That's so precious!
