Haunted house renovation plan officially launched
The next morning, gentle sunlight shone through the window onto the face of a person sleeping soundly somewhere. Ruan Yunsheng, who was negotiating with Zhou Gong, suddenly felt something strange and opened his eyes in a daze.
Suddenly, a magnified handsome face appeared above her bed, almost touching her nose. If the ghost hadn't been breathing...
"ah!"
Ruan Yunsheng shuddered, his head suddenly tucked under the quilt, revealing a pair of wide-open eyes. He said angrily, "What do you want to do?"
Ye Li was also startled by her action and was at a loss: "Someone is knocking on the door."
She pointed outside the door with her little hand in a wronged manner, and looked at the vigilant Ruan Yunsheng with an innocent face.
Well, Ruan Yunsheng tried to save face: "In that case, then I'll forgive you for now. Next time, don't get so close to girls. There are differences between men and women."
Not even her future husband!
"Are you awake, Miss?"
Hua Rong was waiting quietly outside the door. Ever since she recovered from her illness, the young lady has been particularly fond of sleeping in. She has gotten used to it these days and knocks on the door every once in a while.
"Come in."
Just as Hua Rong came in with a basin of clean water to help the young lady wash, Ruan Yunsheng suddenly shouted at her.
"Wait a minute!"
"Miss?"
Hua Rong was confused and thought that she had not done something well.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Yunsheng turned around and looked at Ye Li, "You go out first."
When Hua Rong saw the young lady talking to the air, her face turned pale and her voice trembled: "Is it An Yue from yesterday?"
"Guess?" Ruan Yunsheng wanted to train her courage, so he wanted to tease her with a bad intention.
Hua Rong's hand trembled, and the copper basin instantly fell to the ground with a loud noise, splashing water everywhere. Her face was pale, her mouth trembled, and she cried inexplicably: "Miss, don't scare me."
"Hua Rong." Ruan Yunsheng leaned close to her ear and whispered in a low voice, "There seems to be something on your back!"
"ah!"
Heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the room. Hua Rong jumped up and down anxiously, scratching her back frantically, trying to get the "ghost" off her back. It wasn't until she saw the young lady covering her mouth and laughing secretly that she realized she had been tricked.
"Miss..." Hua Rong looked at Ruan Yunsheng with resentment, and the grievance in her heart was almost turning into reality.
"Okay, I was just teasing you. There's no ghost." Ruan Yunsheng touched her furry head to comfort her.
"Really?" Hua Rong's eyes lit up again in an instant, as if she saw hope.
"Really." Ruan Yunsheng nodded, and added: "At least you don't have it on your back."
At this moment, Hua Rong was like a rusty machine, turning her head intermittently and staring at her young lady in a daze.
"Then this house..."
Ruan Yunsheng showed a meaningful smile. Hua Rong understood without thinking. She swallowed her saliva and continued with difficulty: "It's really lively."
Ruan Yunsheng held his forehead helplessly: "How can you follow me in the future if you are so timid?"
Hua Rong had no words to express her suffering, so she could only go back silently to fetch water again. Ruan Yunsheng glanced at Ye Li, who had been watching the show, and said with a hint of threat in his tone: "Do you want to see me change clothes?"
Although Ye Li had lost his memory and didn't understand anything, he felt a chill on his back as he looked at Ruan Yunsheng, whose smile was getting brighter and brighter, and he quickly floated away.
Seeing the tactless ghosts in the house retreat, Ruan Yunsheng got up, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to Ye Mansion to see how the haunted house should be planned. Now that he didn't have much capital, he had to do many things himself.
On the street of Chuzhou County, Hua Rong was holding a bag and sticking close to Ruan Yunsheng. The young lady had just told her everything, and she also knew the young lady's future plans.
Hua Rong glanced around the young lady from time to time, looking at the male ghost Ye Li whom she couldn't see at all, and whispered: "Young lady, are we really going to the Ye Mansion?"
Ruan Yunsheng raised an eyebrow: "Of course, what's wrong?"
Hua Rong shrank her neck: "I heard...that place is haunted."
"Haunted? Tell me about it."
Ruan Yunsheng suddenly became interested. When she rented the house yesterday, the shopkeeper was hesitant and didn't explain clearly. When she arrived at the Ye Mansion, she found nothing. She was curious about what had happened that year. Perhaps she could use this incident to promote her haunted house.
Hua Rong was about to speak when her attention was drawn to the loud discussions of several people at the tea stall in front.
"Have you heard? The Ye Mansion has been sold, and it is said that it is sold to a young woman."
"Oh, I'm afraid I was cheated by the cheap price again."
One of them shook his head and sighed, as if he could already foresee the man's fate.
Ruan Yunsheng and Hua Rong exchanged a glance, then pretended to be nervous and moved closer. "Brothers, were you talking about the Ye Mansion just now?"
"Yes, you are?"
Several people stopped talking and looked at the beautiful woman who suddenly interrupted them.
When did such a beautiful woman appear in this place?
Ruan Yunsheng wiped away her tears! "Yesterday, my eldest sister refused to listen to my advice. She said the Ye Mansion was affordable and had once been the residence of a prominent family, and it was even quite nice. She ignored my advice and forced me to buy it. But if the Ye Mansion was really that good, how could it be so cheap?"
"That's the correct answer!"
A burly, rough-looking man clapped his hands and cheered: "This Ye Mansion is weird!"
"What do you mean?" Ruan Yunsheng pricked up his ears. This was perfect material.
They looked around warily, and when no one noticed them, they huddled together and whispered, "This Ye Mansion once produced a third-rank official and an imperial concubine, but who knows what happened and they were banished to this desolate place. But they are still the best here."
Another person continued, "But the defeat was caused by the eldest son of the Ye family. One day, he suddenly contracted an incurable disease, behaved like a woman, and acted strangely. He eventually hanged himself from the beam of his own ancestral hall."
"Followed by this, the people in the Ye Mansion died inexplicably one after another, without any wounds on their bodies. Many people in the government office were still unable to find the murderer, but they all speculated..."
At this point, the few people who were originally talking calmly suddenly turned pale, as if they were afraid of something. However, facing Ruan Yunsheng's eager and pitiful face, they finally said, "It's the wronged spirits who are taking our lives!"
"Ah!" Ruan Yunsheng screamed in fear, "Then, what about my sister?"
"Miss, please persuade your sister to sell this house as soon as possible."
After several people gave him some advice, he drank his last sip of tea and left.
"etc."
Ruan Yunsheng called out to them, "What's the name of this eldest son of the Ye family?"
"Ye Li." After saying that, he walked away.
"Ye Li?"
The fake Ye Li asked, "What about me? Didn't you say I was your cousin? But you don't even know what happened in the Ye family just now."
The series of questions made Ruan Yunsheng feel extremely guilty. How could she have known that it was such a coincidence that she would encounter someone with the same name even if she just made up a name.
“This, this, this…”
Think fast, you stupid brain!
Ruan Yunsheng, who was extremely smart, felt like his head was confused at this moment and he couldn't think of any excuses.
"Actually... that's basically the situation. The specific situation depends on what's going on. It's quite complicated, as you know. Anyway, this is mainly for your own good!"
Ruan Yunsheng had a serious expression on his face and was talking a lot of nonsense about literature.
"Ye Li"'s new brain was a little confused and he was stunned by what he heard. In the end, he was fooled by Ruan Yunsheng.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Ruan Yunsheng quickly ran to the Ye Mansion with Huarong, but he did not notice that "Ye Li" behind him was stroking the jade plate on his waist. Although there was no text on it, he always felt that it was an important object representing his identity. However, for some reason, the pattern carved on it seemed to have been damaged by a sharp weapon and it was no longer clear.
"Let's go, idiot!" Ruan Yunsheng urged.
"My name is not Idiot." He corrected with a frown.
Ruan Yunsheng looked at his handsome little face and said without thinking, "Then let's call him Big Beautiful."
He was dissatisfied: "Be more serious."
"Song Tinghe."
Song Tinghe… His eyes lit up and he was extremely satisfied with this.
"That's it." Song Tinghe nodded, very obedient.
The two men and the ghost reached a consensus and officially marched towards the Ye Mansion, with some bumps and bruises along the way, which was quite lively.
"Come in, and let's see how we can transform it."
Ruan Yunsheng kicked open the dusty door of the Ye Mansion's ancestral hall, startling a flock of gray pigeons. Her beautiful face trembled as she watched the young lady's actions. "Young lady, is there really no retribution for this?"
"What are you afraid of? This house is so clean it could be an operating room." She suddenly pointed at a plate of Song Tinghe and said, "This is the only ghost here."
"Ah?" He was studying the rotten dead tree in front of the yard at this time. He was suddenly called out and his face was full of confusion.
"Hua Rong, go get all the bronze mirrors from the west wing." Ruan Yunsheng rolled up his sleeves, revealing his slender yet powerful wrists. "Ye Li, go dig up some wet mud from the backyard. The fishier the better."
“…”
Oh, I forgot. He can’t touch me. Never mind. I’ll just do it myself.
Hua Rong stumbled back carrying a stack of bronze mirrors. "Miss, do we really want to create ghosts ourselves?"
"This is called 'scenery.'" Ruan Yunsheng hung a bronze mirror on a red string in the corridor, facing inward. "When the wind blows, the mirror's light interweaves and the shadows of people sway. Who wouldn't think it's haunted?"
He was about to go look for mud when Song Tinghe suddenly pointed at a patch of dark blue mud that was shimmering with water. "How about this?"
Ruan Yunsheng leaned in to smell it and nearly fainted: "Great! This is exactly the effect I want!"
"How did you find out?"
Could it be that living souls still have a sense of smell?
"I don't know." Song Tinghe shook his head. "Intuition."
Well, when she didn't ask!
She grabbed the mud and slapped it onto the wall, leaving a few blurry handprints. "Wait until the mud dries, then find something sticky to seal it up. It's guaranteed to be fishy and sticky, and you won't be able to wash it off for three days."
Hua Rong pinched her nose and stepped back: "Miss, this, this is too immoral."
"That's called professionalism," Ruan Yunsheng corrected.
"Once An Yue finishes her business with the banker, the haunted house can be officially opened." Ruan Yunsheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Miss, aren't we making ghosts? Why are we using real ones?"
"What's wrong with that?" Ruan Yunsheng smiled slyly. "How can it be called an immersive haunted house without real ghosts?"
She used to command countless wronged souls, but this is just the beginning. She is planning to recruit a few more. How can one be enough?
Hehe, Ruan Yunsheng was calculating in his mind, oh, and there was a certain useless living soul, it couldn't just eat for free.
