Chapter 94: Don’t open the door at night
Midnight.
The entire Shangshu Mansion was plunged into darkness, and the lights in Ji Rong's yard had been blown out early.
Although Su Tan had instructed us not to go out no matter what unusual movement we heard.
But Ji Rong was afraid that she would be possessed by the ghost and fall into the trap of the corpse, so she asked the maids to turn off the lights and keep watch at night, and not to make any noise, and she went to bed early.
Tick-tock...
Tick-tock...
There was a sound of dripping water under the eaves.
It is infinitely amplified in the silent night sky, as if ringing in people's ears.
Ji Rong was awakened by the sound of dripping water.
She frowned.
Originally, he wanted to ask the maid Luzhu who was accompanying him in bed to go out and see what was going on outside.
Just thinking of Su Tan's instructions, Ji Rong's expression paused. She was afraid that the person who came in was not a human being, so she endured it, turned over and continued to sleep.
“Wuwuwu…”
“Wuwuwu…”
The baby's cry rang clearly in my ears.
The crying sound was sad, but also had a familiar feel, as if I had heard it somewhere before.
Ji Rong's heart tightened, as if ants were crawling on the tip of her heart, making her feel uncomfortable.
Ji Rong finally couldn't help herself, turned over, and asked Lu Zhu, who was accompanying her in bed, "Did you...did you hear anything? Outside...it seems like there's a child crying outside..."
The voice sounded very familiar.
She was afraid it was her Jing'er.
Lu Zhu's heart tightened when she heard this, but she tried to deceive herself by saying, "Madam, there is no baby's sound at all. You must have misheard it. In the past few days, many wild cats have suddenly come to Aunt Wan's yard. It's not the crying of children, but from what I see, it's clearly a few wild cats in heat. Madam, go to sleep quickly, you will be fine after these two days."
Ji Rong clutched the quilt tightly and couldn't help taking a few deep breaths.
Did she really mishear?
Is that really a cat's meow?
Instead of... instead of her Jing'er?
Ji Rong hid under the quilt, her plump body trembling slightly. "County Lady Jiayi said that beautiful girls are easily targeted by the skin corpses..."
She swallowed and spoke very quietly, fearing that her voice would be too high and attract the attention of the things outside.
"You said...you said Sister Elegy will get into trouble tonight?"
Luzhu was complaining in her heart, and at this moment, she didn't dare to say anything at all!
I was afraid that if I made a sound, some damn corpse would hear me.
But since her master asked her a question, she had to answer.
"Madam, please relax. With the amulet given by Master Su, that vixen will be fine. Besides, she is so arrogant and domineering, why are you worried about her?"
"In my opinion, it would be better if she died. This way, she would not have to continue to seduce the Second Young Master!"
In the dim light, Ji Rong's expression was unclear. After a while, she sighed, "I hope she's safe. It's never a good thing for a woman to be overly beautiful. I just hope her beauty doesn't bring her any trouble."
Luzhu grabbed the quilt and whispered, "You are so kind. Why are you still bothering her at this time? Go to sleep quickly, Madam, and don't be blinded by those noises."
After hearing this, Ji Rong said no more.
But the crying was intermittent, sometimes starting and sometimes stopping. If it had always filled her ears, she would have been able to gradually ignore it and just think of it as someone singing in her ears to help her fall asleep.
It was quiet at one moment, and then the crying sound echoed in my ears at another moment.
Ji Rong was tortured to the point of being exhausted. She couldn't help but push Luzhu's arm and said, "Luzhu, how about... how about you go out and take a look?"
Luzhu's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and her expression suddenly became extremely ugly. She bit her lip and said, "Young Madam, have you forgotten? Master Su has instructed that no matter what noise you hear, you must not go out."
"It's not a pity for me to die, but if I accidentally let the corpse in and hurt the young lady, even if I die ten times, it won't be enough to atone for my sin..."
When Ji Rong heard Lu Zhu say this, she finally sighed and did not force Lu Zhu to go out and take a look. She just wiped away her tears and said, "I'm just worried. I'm afraid it's Jing'er who's crying outside..."
"Jing'er is the child I risked my life to give birth to. He is my only support..."
Luzhu just wanted to ask Ji Rong to stop talking. At this moment, the more she said, the more mistakes she would make. She was afraid that if she continued talking, the corpse would think that using the young master to open the door was the safest way.
Luzhu prayed in her heart that the night would pass quickly.
However, sometimes, what you fear will come true.
Originally, Ji Rong had calmed down and even gradually fell asleep like Luzhu.
But not long after, the two were awakened by the sound of conversation outside.
The charming female voice was filled with chilling malice, "Yao Lang, are you sure this trick will work?"
"Would that stupid woman really hide in the house all night?"
This voice is full of charm, it could not be a dirge.
But the next moment, a male voice that surprised both Luzhu and Ji Rong exploded in their ears like spring thunder.
"Hmph, don't worry, that woman is as stupid as a pig. She believes whatever others say."
"She really believes there's a hideous corpse in our house. Believe it or not, even if there was a fire in her yard tonight, she would just think it was the hideous corpse making the noise, deliberately trying to lure her out."
The voice actually came from Yu Yao, the second son of the Minister of Revenue, who had been in a coma for many days.
Ji Rong's heart tightened and her head buzzed loudly. She had no idea what the person outside meant.
She subconsciously wanted to lift the quilt and get up to leave, but Luzhu grabbed her arm tightly.
"Young Madam, you can't go out. This is all a trick of the Pi Zombie!"
"Think about it carefully. The young master has clearly been unconscious for many days. How could he suddenly appear outside your courtyard with Aunt Wan in the middle of the night?"
"Besides, are all those servants on night watch outside dead? They didn't even inform the Second Young Master when they saw him coming?"
Luzhu spoke quickly and urgently, fearing that Ji Rong would lose her mind and open the door the next moment.
Ji Rong's face suddenly turned pale, and she quickly calmed down, just holding on to the quilt tightly.
right!
Luzhu is right!
This is most likely a trick of the corpse, she can't be fooled!
Ji Rong took several deep breaths to calm herself down.
The sound outside became clearer and clearer, as clear as if someone was talking to her in her ear.
"Yao Lang, she is your first wife after all, you really won't be reluctant to let her go?"
Elegy smiled sweetly, and every word she sang fell into Ji Rong's ears.
Yu Yao sneered rudely, his eyes filled with contempt, and said sarcastically: "What are you thinking? She is ugly and stupid, not even close to you. How could I be reluctant to let her go?"
"I've hated her for a long time and have long wished she were dead. Now that I've finally found my chance, all my longing is worth it."
Ji Rong trembled all over when she heard this, and her tears fell on the quilt one by one. She curled up into a ball, feeling so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.
How could Yu Yao...
How could you treat her like this?
Ever since she married into the Yu family, she has been virtuous, following the three obediences and four virtues, and never dared to disobey Yu Yao. She is almost open-hearted to him!
How could Yu Yao wish for her death!
Luzhu held her arm tightly. Hearing the sobbing beside her, she knew that Ji Rong was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe.
She hurriedly said, "Young Madam, this is all fake, please don't listen!"
"That corpse said this on purpose to hurt you. Don't be fooled!"
Ji Rong clutched the quilt tightly. Yes, she couldn't be fooled.
She would never leave this door tonight.
She cannot die tonight. Women are weak, but they are strong as mothers. She also has to protect Jing'er and pave a smooth road for Jing'er.
But what Elegy said next almost shattered all her hopes.
She heard Wange ask with a sweet smile, "Yao Lang, even if you don't take that stupid woman Ji Rong seriously, Jing Ge'er is your child after all. Do you really want to burn him and Ji Rong to death together?"
"What if you blame me later, saying that I instigated you to kill your own son?"
Yu Yao smiled broadly, seemingly unconcerned about the biological son Wange mentioned. "Only the son born between you and me can be considered my biological son."
"As for the bastard child born by that foolish woman, if he dies, then so be it. There's nothing to regret. How could I blame you? The doctor said you're carrying twins. They'll be smart and clever, truly exceptional, far superior to the idiot child born by that foolish woman."
After Yu Yao finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the servant beside him and asked, "Is the oil poured?"
