Chapter 80 A Chilling Aura
The third wife was clearly impatient, but she wasn't stupid either. "I don't know what you're talking about. If there's nothing else, I'll go back now." With that, she turned and walked out.
Her hurried figure seemed to be chasing after someone.
In the flower hall, Feng Qingge watched the fleeing figure, her eyebrows raised high. "It seems you were right, she's hiding something from us." Otherwise, she wouldn't be avoiding her like this.
Mo Linyuan, who hadn't uttered a word from beginning to end, suddenly stood up, moved to her side, and looked down at her, "You did this on purpose?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingge turned around and looked at him in surprise. "That's right." She did it on purpose, deliberately saying it to alert him.
The third wife is timid by nature, but for some reason she is hiding something. However, a person's character doesn't change, so she is deliberately pressuring her like this, believing that she will soon slip up and the truth will come out.
However, she never expected that he would see through her thoughts.
Raising her eyes, Feng Qingge looked at Mo Linyuan, only to find him looking down at her.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, and something else seemed to appear.
"Well done." Suddenly, Mo Linyuan spoke, his deep voice carrying a hint of amusement. After speaking, he turned and walked out.
Feng Qingge was left wondering, "What do you mean by 'not bad'?"
Then, she gave a soft hum and followed Mo Linyuan's footsteps, and the two returned to the courtyard together.
This trip, while not entirely fruitful, was still fruitful in some ways, though the gains were not substantial.
As night fell, Feng Qingge's work finally came to fruition...
That evening, as usual, after dinner, the group went to their rooms to rest early.
Although they wouldn't go to bed this early, they were all busy with their own things.
Mo Linyuan was reading in his room, Hei Mingxin cherished his sword and was slowly wiping it, while Qi Quan was busy packing clothes and such.
Only Feng Qingge went to bed early and lowered the gauze curtains to rest.
As time passed, the hazy moon outside the window gradually moved away, and the group of people all fell asleep.
Just as everyone was fast asleep, a white figure drifted into the courtyard.
If someone were here at this moment, they probably wouldn't notice anything. Given the vast expanse of white, they'd likely mistake the white figure for falling snow.
At midnight, when people are in the deepest sleep, a sound suddenly rang out in the courtyard.
It sounded like footsteps on the floor, or like the sound of a door opening.
It creaked and groaned, though not loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the dead of night.
When the noise started, the two people in the courtyard woke up, but Hei Ming and Qi Quan were completely unaware.
Feng Qingge and Mo Linyuan held their breath and listened intently in their respective rooms.
As the creaking sound drew closer, a chilling aura also seeped into the room.
In an instant, Feng Qingge realized that the hidden ghost had appeared.
So she relaxed her body, her breathing gradually became long and even, and she closed her eyes tightly, as if she had really fallen asleep.
The same was true for Mo Linyuan in the other room.
However, when he realized that the aura was getting further and further away from him, and even went to Feng Qingge's room, he finally opened his eyes. His eyes were pitch black, like a black mist, making it impossible to see his emotions.
She suddenly jumped out of bed, grabbed the clothes from the screen beside her, and turned to leave the room.
He fastened his clothes as he walked, his steps were very quick, but he made no sound at all.
However, upon arriving at the door, they discovered that Feng Qingge's door was ajar, and a chilling aura emanated from it.
