Jiang Ancheng insisted on sending Jiang Si back to Haitangju. After returning to the study, he took down the sword hanging on the wall and stroked the cold sword blade.

If he waited a few more days, he would definitely give Dou Qitong a good scolding. It would not be difficult to find a reason, as long as it did not involve his daughter.

Jiang Si walked all the way and returned to Haitangju with cold feet. He took off his shoes and socks and leaned against the incense burner to keep warm.

Aqiao brought a cup of ginger tea.

Jiang Si took it and drank it sip by sip.

Ah Man wanted to say something several times but stopped himself. Seeing that Jiang Si said nothing, he was afraid of upsetting his master by bringing it up, so he held it back.

"Ah Man, Ah Qiao, try to find out which courtyard Uncle Dou who came today lives in."

"Girl?" Ah Man looked at Jiang Si, his surprise hiding a hint of joy.

Is the girl going to do something exciting again?

Jiang Si held the teacup and smiled faintly: "If conditions permit, we should try not to hold grudges overnight."

It is satisfying to take revenge on the same day. She does not believe in the saying that revenge is never too late. Who knows if the enemy will still be around ten years later? What if he is struck by lightning?

Ah Man nodded excitedly: "Yeah."

Ah Qiao was confused: "Why——"

Ah Man dragged her out and said, "Go and find out, I'll tell you on the way..."

As the two maids walked away, the room became quiet.

Jiang Si leaned against the incense burner, picked up a book beside him and flipped through it to pass the time.

It was snowing outside, and the sky and the earth were all white. However, there was no window inside, and the light was a little dim through the translucent window paper.

Such light made it seem that Jiang was not really reading the book, and her mind was not on the book.

Yu Qi hadn't contacted her in the past few days, and no one knew what evil tricks she had planned after being beaten by her father.

It was strange, she had been thinking about staying away from him before, but she always felt that he appeared in front of her more often, so much so that she was upset. But now, after only a few days without any news from him, she actually missed him.

Jiang Si put the book down and leaned against the fumigation basket, which was made of bamboo and was bent a little.

She suddenly remembered the night when he pressed her against the fumigation cage and her clothes were almost burned by the charcoal fire...

As Jiang Si thought about it, he couldn't help laughing.

It is such a rare thing to be able to miss someone openly and with confidence.

I don't know how much time had passed, but Jiang Si was drowsy leaning against the incense burner, and Aqiao and Aman came back in a hurry.

Ah Qiao replied, "Miss, Uncle Dou lives in Luofengju now."

Luofengju? It's next to my second brother's Tingzhuju.

Jiang Si felt more and more uncomfortable when he thought of this.

Cousin Dou looks like a quiet woman. Regardless of her true personality, since her father will stay away from her because of what happened today, she will not target her specifically.

But Uncle Dou couldn't do that.

Jiang Si felt that the man might not be normal in his mind, otherwise how could he dare to rush up and flirt with a young girl when he met her in someone else's garden?

If this isn’t a disease, what is?

She would never allow such a person to stay in the Earl's Mansion.

In this home, the elders are unkind and there is not much warmth, but no matter what, it is where she will live for a long time. Having such a person whom she can only see when she looks up and cannot see when she looks up, wouldn't that be a nuisance to her?

What's more, there are other sisters in the house. If they meet such a person in the garden, there might be a big chaos.

"Get ready. We're going to Luofengju tonight."

Ah Man was overjoyed and agreed promptly.

Ah Qiao raised her eyelids slightly, but remained indifferent.

Jiang Si twitched his lips when he saw the two maids' reactions, then waved his hand to send them out.

Get a good night's sleep so you can do more work at night.

At night, lanterns in various places in the mansion were lit early, illuminating the ground in white.

The snow had stopped falling, and it broke up and melted into the cracks between the stone slabs, forming a thin layer of ice.

Two figures walked cautiously on the road without turning on lanterns, their ink-black cloaks blending into the darkness.

"Girl, there's no one on the road."

Ginger seems to smile.

Who would come out in such a cold day unless they wanted to do something shameful at night?

When he reached the second door, Ah Man took out his key and quietly opened the door, feeling excited.

Since the girl asked her to make keys for the second door at the beginning of the year, life has become more exciting.

There were no stars or moon in the sky, only layers of dark clouds. Fortunately, the lights on the eaves of the corridor did not make people's eyes completely dark.

The wind was cold, like a knife cutting on tender skin. Occasionally, when it passed under a tree, snow foam would fall down, chilling the back of my neck.

The master and servant supported each other all the way and finally arrived at Luofengju.

This kind of front yard has no gate, only a moon-shaped gate of medium height.

Jiang Si leaned against the wall of the Moon Gate and looked inside coldly.

The lights in Luofengju have been turned off.

During the day, a rumor spread in the mansion that the new son of the Dou family had encountered evil spirits in the garden. It was the ghost of the red moon that fell into the pond in the autumn that was causing trouble.

Ah Man told Jiang Si the rumor he had heard, and Jiang Si smiled.

After Hongyue drowned, Mrs. Xiao sat by the pond at night to mourn her daughter, and because she was knocked unconscious by Yu Qi, rumors of ghosts spread. Since then, although the old lady and others had clearly ordered not to spread rumors, rumors of ghosts in the garden have never subsided among the servants.

And she was thinking at the time that having such a rumor would be convenient for her.

As expected, when Uncle Dou was found with a pig's face, he didn't dare to tell the real reason, and people immediately thought of ghost stories.

Jiang Si stepped forward and walked in.

Dou Qitong lay on the soft mattress, wrapped in a quilt that gave off a faint fragrance, and was half asleep but not soundly asleep.

There were several red marks on my face and it hurt so much that I couldn't sleep well.

Dou Qitong turned over and felt the urge to pee, so he mumbled to the servant sleeping in the outer room to bring him the urinal.

The servant had followed him from Jinsha, and Dou Qitong had no pressure in using him and it was very easy for him.

But the servant, who was used to serving, did not respond.

Dou Qitong called out a few more times, but the servant didn't come, and he woke up from his sleepiness.

He had no choice but to open his eyes.

The room was quiet and dark.

After a while, my eyes adjusted to the darkness and I could finally make out the outlines of the furnishings in the house.

Dou Qitong cursed and tried to stand up, but his expression suddenly froze.

There was a sound of breathing, even and long.

Along with the sound of breathing, there is an indescribable fragrance.

The fragrance is very faint, but very pleasant to the touch.

Dou Qitong trembled his lips and wanted to ask "who", but he dared not utter the word.

He suddenly thought of the rumor he had heard when he returned to the front yard during the day and someone saw the wound on his face.

The garden of the Bo Mansion is haunted!

My God, how could such a flowery place be haunted?

Could it be that the stunning girl in a bright red cloak walking towards him in the snow was actually a ghost?

So good-looking, so cold, and so merciless when beating people, what else could it be but a ghost?

Where in the world does such a girl exist!

Is the female ghost here to take his life?

As soon as this thought came to Dou Qitong's mind, his coccyx went numb and he couldn't move.

At this moment, the room suddenly lit up.
