The previous chapter was blocked, so I'll write another one to make up for the lack of attendance.

The sarcasm in Wang Jing's words was absolutely devastating.
So Zijun glanced at her, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at Master Wen and said, "Since Master Wen doesn't want to move out, then tell us in detail what has happened these past few days."
Master Wen glanced at Wang Jing with some fear.
If Wang Jing were just an ordinary girl, he would probably have already started cursing.
But when he heard that Wang Jing was Zi Jun's senior, he really didn't dare to say a word.
"Okay!" After saying that, he sighed and said, "Here's what happened. Last night, I was lying in bed reading as usual, planning to rest after reading for a while."
"But not long after, I drifted off to sleep, and when I woke up again, I found that the light in the room had been turned off for no reason."
Upon hearing this, Zijun said, "Is it possible that a servant helped you with the massage?"
Mr. Wen shook his head: "They were asleep by then. Besides, I told them not to go upstairs at night. The second floor is where I live alone. And my room is locked from the inside out."
Zijun nodded thoughtfully, signaling him to continue.
"I turned on the light with a bit of fear. Before I started to have a crush on that light, I was wondering if there was a power outage. But the light was on, which means that someone, or rather, someone else, turned off the light in my room for no reason."
Master Wen took a deep breath, as if his emotions were still lingering from that moment.
Wang Jing raised an eyebrow: "Go on."
"I didn't think much about it at the time. After turning on the light, I was going to wash up and go to sleep. For some reason, even though I only dozed off for a short while, I was sweating a lot."
"Then when I went into the bathroom and looked at the person in the mirror, I was startled. The person in the mirror was me, but it wasn't me!"
Master Wen's face showed a look of horror, and his facial muscles twitched as he remained immersed in the fear of that time.
"Bleeding from all seven orifices?" Wang Jing asked maliciously.
Mr. Wen's lips twitched slightly: "No, it's just that his expression was a bit strange. Anyway, it wasn't my expression at the time. I was so scared that I was shaking all over and then I fainted."
"When I got up again, I was still lying in the bathroom. I quickly ran out of the room and woke everyone up, asking them if anything strange had happened. But they all said nothing had happened."
"At that moment, I heard a series of cries, like a woman's cries, or a child's cries, it was all very terrifying!"
At this point, Master Wen was almost in tears.
"However, none of the servants, including the steward, heard that sound! Only I heard it! Even so, I felt that the whole room was eerie. I didn't sleep all night, and today I'm going to find Master Zijun!"
The butler was also worried: "We really didn't hear anything. It was just the master all by himself. Master Zijun, you must help the master."
Zijun remembered what Master Wen had said.
It can be roughly concluded that this was not the work of that ancient, vengeful spirit.
That's so low-class!
It doesn't match the level of that evil spirit.
If it's not that evil spirit, then it could be something else entirely.
He and Wang Jing were now thinking the same thing: Could it be that someone here has recently died?
So it was tainted by a trace of yin energy and became haunted?
He said to Master Wen, "My brother and I are currently without a place to stay, so we'll probably have to stay here with you tonight."
"No problem, no problem, please feel free to stay! If you need anything, just tell the housekeeper."
The butler immediately came up, his honest and kind face beaming with joy: "That's right, you two are welcome to stay here. Please feel free to ask me anything."
Wang Jing glanced at Zi Jun, knowing that he was about to get involved in this matter.
Although I understand it in my heart, I still can't get over it.
This Master Wen is clearly not a good person, so why should they help him?
But then I thought, if we could find out the reason for this disturbance, we would know just how many heinous things Master Wen had done.
That's good!
He simply stood up and said to Master Wen, "Call out all the people living in this villa now, so I can identify them."
Mr. Wen nodded quickly, not daring to look at Wang Jing.
Although Wang Jing looked so young, her eyes seemed to have been through an accident, and when he looked into them, he couldn't help but feel timid.
"Butler, didn't you hear what the master said? Go now!"
The housekeeper glanced at Wang Jing and then went downstairs to call for help.
Soon, the people inside the villa gathered in the hall.
Master Wen's villa looks large, but he doesn't have many servants, although this number is only relative to other people of similar social standing.
There are two maids, a pair of 25-year-old twins, Su Tianlian and Su Kugan.
And two cooks in their forties and fifties, Aunt Wang and Aunt Li.
Aunt Li was also the wife of Steward Zhou.
And Xie Ziheng, a forty-year-old gardener.
Xie Kuan, a twenty-year-old flower farmer.
Xie Ziheng and Xie Kuan are father and son.
Finally, there was a driver in his thirties named Li Datian.
Including the butler, there were a total of eight people.
Wang Jing looked at these people, then walked around the villa again, and asked Mr. Wen, "Have these always been the same people? I mean, are there any people who worked here before but recently left or died?"
As she spoke, she carefully observed everyone's expressions.
I noticed that no one's expression changed.
It seems that her and Zijun's guesses were wrong.
It can't be said to be wrong; the person who died might not have been someone who worked here.
She saw Zijun raise an eyebrow as well.
Master Wen's face was very ugly. If it weren't for the fact that Wang Jing in front of him seemed to have some ability, he probably would have turned on her on the spot.
"What are you saying, Master? These people have been doing just fine here. Do you perhaps think I've done something heinous that has attracted those spirits?"
Wang Jing raised an eyebrow, ignoring his words, and simply stretched, saying, "Let's see tonight; we can't tell anything now."
Master Wen dared not confront Wang Jing any further, fearing that Zi Jun would also stop helping him later.
He doesn't want to be unable to sleep every night!
He didn't dare look at himself in any mirror today, and even kept the curtains drawn, afraid of seeing a face on the window that didn't look like his own.
He regained his composure and said, "Okay, I'll see tonight."
Night fell quickly.
Wang Jing went home in the afternoon and brought the two cats to Mr. Wen's villa.
However, I still managed to squeeze in a live stream, changed my nickname, and left a message saying that I would be skipping the whole night.
She's preparing to perform a spirit-catching ritual tonight, so she won't have time to do a live stream.
Mr. Wen's family also keeps several cats, and they have cat food and other supplies.
The prince, possessed by Hua Rong, fell asleep, and the princess obediently stayed by her "brother's" side.
Night fell quietly.
