Chapter 246: Scare Mrs. Zhu
The cold wind blew outside the window, maybe blowing down the flowers and plants in the yard.
The sound of "bang" startled Mrs. Zhu.
Mrs. Zhu suddenly realized something and looked around in panic. When she found that there was still nothing, she felt relieved.
"I've seen so much weird shit that I just scare myself."
Mrs. Zhu patted her chest and comforted herself.
But before she could completely relax, she vaguely saw a white dress floating behind her in the reflection of the bronze mirror in front of her.
"ah!!!"
Mrs. Zhu's screams spread throughout the Zhu Mansion.
Her dowry maid came over quickly and asked.
"Ma'am, what's wrong? What happened?"
Mrs. Zhu's voice trembled as she spoke hurriedly:
"Come in quickly and see if there is a thief in the house."
When the maids carefully patrolled the room and reported to her that they found nothing, Mrs. Zhu seemed a little incredulous.
Mrs. Zhu dared to guarantee that she definitely saw a dark shadow behind her.
Because she had that strange dream since she was a child, Mrs. Zhu believed in this kind of thing very much.
But Mrs. Zhu also knew that such a thing would bring disaster to the world if it were told to others, and she couldn't let anyone know about it.
He could only order the guards to patrol the courtyard more often. He also arranged for night watchmen, and asked two young maids to watch outside while he slept.
Only by doing this every night can Mrs. Zhu sleep peacefully.
Here, Gu Yan's childhood friend Zhuzi was also talking to Gu Yan about this.
"Brother Yan, after you told me about this, I asked my husband to dress up as a ghost to scare her at night.
But I don't know if the people in that household are brave or timid. If you say he is timid, he doesn't burn incense or worship Buddha. If you say he is brave, he lets people watch him every day.
After hearing what Zhuzi said, Gu Yan was also puzzled, but he did not tell Zhuzi, but said to him:
"You and your wife have worked hard during this period, and I'll have to trouble your wife to work hard for a few more days.
The main thing is that I don’t know what she’s thinking. If I don’t… you said my wife is still pregnant, I really don’t feel at ease.”
After Gu Yan finished speaking, Zhuzi immediately patted his chest and assured:
"Brother Yan, don't worry, we are here. We will definitely scare her away."
Gu Yan nodded, gave Zhuzi a purse of silver coins, and said:
"I trust you guys to do the job, but I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on her.
This is your deposit, and I'll give you a generous reward when she moves out."
After hearing what Gu Yan said, Zhuzi scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly:
"How can we ask for more money from you, Brother Yan? You have helped us a lot. You taught us how to hunt since we were young. If it weren't for you, we would have starved to death since we were young."
What Zhuzi said was true. Most of the people who played with Gu Yan were people who were not loved by their parents.
If Gu Yan hadn't taken care of them since they were young, most of these people would have starved to death.
The pillar is so big, but Gu Yan has no choice but to give it to him.
No matter how good a friend is, you have to show some appreciation when you ask him to do something for you, otherwise you will end up alone sooner or later.
So Gu Yan said:
"If you refuse again, you will be alienated from me, right? Even if it's not for you, you should think about the child. I heard that your son is a good student and is quite appreciated by the teacher.
Take it quickly, and buy some study materials for the child, or give it to the teacher as a gift. Think of it as a gift from me, the uncle, to the child."
Gu Yan's words were beautiful. If it was given to Zhuzi, he might not accept it, but children are the soft spot of parents, and Zhuzi would definitely accept it if it involved children.
As expected, when Zhuzi, a simple and honest man, heard what Gu Yan said, tears welled up in his eyes.
Assured Gu Yan:
"Brother Yan, don't worry, I will definitely make this matter beautiful for you."
Gu Yan nodded and sent Zhuzi away.
Mrs. Zhu also came to Li Wanqing's house.
Mrs. Zhu is very flexible. She had a conflict with Li Wanqing two days ago, but now she can come to visit without batting an eyelid.
So when Li Wanqing heard Aunt Qiu's report, she was quite surprised and almost thought she had misheard.
But Li Wanqing was not one to be easily persuaded, and she immediately said to Aunt Qiu:
"You're really being too attentive for no reason. You're either a traitor or a thief. No, Aunt Qiu, find a reason to refuse."
Li Wanqing originally thought that the matter was over, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Zhu would become obsessed with her and check in at her three times a day.
Li Wanqing was really annoyed, so when Mrs. Zhu came to visit again next time, she asked Aunt Qiu to invite her in.
"Mrs. Gu is such a busy person. It's not easy to see you."
When she finally met Li Wanqing, the resentment that Mrs. Zhu had tried so hard to suppress finally surfaced, and her words became sarcastic.
"If you don't want to see me, go straight, then turn left and you'll be back home. Bye."
Li Wanqing would not indulge his bad habits. She was pregnant and had to keep a good mood.
Seeing Li Wanqing's cold look, Mrs. Zhu didn't dare to make trouble anymore.
He pretended to be intimate and sat next to Li Wanqing, trying to hold her hand.
Li Wanqing was pregnant and didn't want to be near a dangerous person like Mrs. Zhu. She calmly pulled her hand away and motioned for Juzi to come forward.
Juzi also understood what Li Wanqing meant, and held Mrs. Zhu's hand as she tried to hold Li Wanqing's.
He forced Madam Zhu to the table and said:
"This is a new pastry that our family has researched. You are well-informed, please try it."
Mrs. Zhu didn't realize anything was wrong. When Juzi said that, she took a piece to taste. Before she swallowed it, she looked at Li Wanqing mysteriously and said:
"Mrs. Gu, you have lived here for so long, has anything wrong happened?"
After saying this, Mrs. Zhu was afraid that her hint was not obvious enough, so she continued:
"For example, I always see strange shadows floating around in your yard."
Mrs. Zhu thought hard for a long time yesterday and felt that if the house was haunted, it must not be just her family. So the best way would be to ask her neighbor Li Wanqing if she had encountered the same situation.
Mrs. Zhu’s idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
If Mrs. Zhu had encountered a ghost and Li Wanqing had not signaled Gu Yangan, Li Wanqing would have been happy to tell Mrs. Zhu whether it was really haunted.
"That's not the case. We've lived here for so long and haven't encountered anything like this before. Did you encounter something unclean when you moved?
I actually met a master once. If you go southwest, you'll come across a mountain with a dilapidated temple inside. Inside the temple, there's an old monk who's quite good at handling this kind of thing.
Li Wanqing pretended to be enthusiastic and gave Mrs. Zhu some advice.
