"Is it a human or a ghost?" Gu Yunru shouted at the person at the door in dissatisfaction, trying to raise her voice to boost her courage. A male voice rang out from the door, "It's me. I'm bringing you a bed and quilt. I'm afraid you'll be cold at night."
It turned out to be her husband. Shu'er relaxed her brows, walked to the door, opened it, and threw herself into his arms. Gu Yunru couldn't bear to see the two of them showing their affection, so she quickly turned her head away.
"Husband, you gave me the quilt, do you have enough?" Shu'er looked at Ji Heng worriedly, Ji Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are enough things. What were you doing just now?"
Shu'er was just hesitating whether to tell her about the sneaky movement, Gu Yunru strode forward and said, "It's nothing, we are just telling a ghost story, you can leave now."
After saying that, she ruthlessly locked him outside the door. Shu'er hugged the quilt and muttered, "Aunt, why don't you tell the truth? That voice is so weird. Could this Tang Mansion really be haunted?" When Shu'er thought of this, her face turned pale with fear.
"How could it be? There are no ghosts in the world. Don't scare yourself." Gu Yunru felt uneasy, but she had to shock everyone around her so that they wouldn't really lose their composure. If this was a trick by the person behind the scenes, then they would have fallen into the trap.
The two of them lay on the bed, and in the second half of the night the floating sound sounded again. Shu'er hugged Gu Yunru's arm nervously and slept like this all night. When they woke up early the next morning, one of Gu Yunru's arms was completely paralyzed. She came to the bronze mirror stiffly and had to ask Shu'er to comb her hair into a simple bun. Then the two of them went to the front hall to have breakfast.
Sitting in the front hall, I heard the maids discussing something furtively.
"Did you hear that? The wronged ghost is here to claim your life again!"
"Yes, that sound is really weird. Anyone who hears it is scared to death."
"Is it Miss Tang?"
"Don't talk nonsense. If the master finds out, watch out for your heads!"
These maids were gossiping early in the morning. It seemed that they were also scared last night.
Gu Yunru looked at a girl in green clothes, snapped his fingers and called her over.
"What's your name?" Gu Yunru looked at the maid with a cute face, fair skin and beautiful appearance. He thought he should be able to get something out of her.
"My name is Lampe..."
"Lan Pei, did you hear any noise last night?" Gu Yunru tapped the table with one hand and looked at her with interest. When Lan Pei heard Gu Yunru's question, she looked a little uncomfortable.
"No, I didn't hear anything..." Lan Pei took a deep breath. Gu Yunru saw that her eyes were erratic and must be hiding something. She took out a silver ingot and said, "Tell me what you know."
"this……"
Lampe thought about it for a while, but had to bow to the power of money.
"It's like this. The previous owner of this garden was a family with the surname Tang. However, this Tang family was a family of scholars and seemed to have some blood relationship with the master. However, that family committed suicide due to losses in business... and also jumped into the well with their two children..."
This was all that Lan Pei knew. Gu Yunru was fascinated by what she heard and nodded in a trance. At this time, Tang Ye, Ji Heng and others also came over to have breakfast.
"Master Tang, do you have no official business today?" Gu Yunru looked at Tang Ye who was walking over with Liu Hanwen beside him. Liu Hanwen was wearing a crescent-white suit and was still as stunning as the first time they met.
"There is no official business today. Those people can resolve any conflicts on their own... But there have been too many beatings recently, so we have to teach those guys a lesson!" Tang Ye said as he looked at the delicious vegetable porridge and started to eat with relish.
Gu Yunru looked at Shu'er, as if to ask about the noise last night, so she put a chicken leg in her bowl. After breakfast, Shu'er and Gu Yunru walked side by side. Shu'er said puzzledly: "Aunt, you obviously want to know what that noise is, why don't you ask Lord Tang, maybe you will know."
"Do you think he would tell you if he knew? If he didn't know, he would say he didn't know. If he knew, he would say he didn't know. There must be a reason for the strange sound that appeared out of nowhere."
When passing by a remote alley, I saw a few maids who were talking.
"You know what? Lampe just jumped into a well and died!"
"How could this happen? Wasn't it fine just now?"
"Don't mention it. I heard that she was haunted by a female ghost and became crazy. She jumped down without anyone being able to stop her. In order to prevent the incident from being publicized, the master had her body dragged to a mass grave and buried."
"It's true!"
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
"Yes, I just saw Shitou and the others dragging a sack out, and accidentally exposed their heads. That's not Lampe, then who is it?!"
"Ahem." Gu Yunru came in front of the crowd. Everyone's faces froze and they quickly shut up. No one spoke, as they understood each other's thoughts.
"Lampei is dead?" Gu Yunru was extremely surprised. She had asked Lanpei for some clues in the morning, but how come she jumped into the well and died in the blink of an eye? There was really something strange going on.
"Yes, it's absolutely true. Shitou and the others have already dragged Lampe's body out."
The maids looked at each other with faces that became extremely strange. It was obvious that they were really scared and were afraid of being haunted by the so-called female ghost.
"Who is that female ghost you are talking about?" Shu'er couldn't help it anymore and asked everyone. You looked at me, I looked at you, and seemed to be hesitating.
"Hurry up and tell me, or I will report you to Lord Tang for spreading rumors and supernatural things, and then he will drive you out one by one!" Shu'er's scolding was somewhat effective. The stronger maid stood up and said to them, "That female ghost is Tang Yanran. Miss Tang died very unjustly. It seems that she died in the dry well in the backyard."
"Which dry well?" Shu'er was getting more and more confused. The girls pointed in a direction, and Gu Yunru opened her eyes wide. Wasn't it the well in front of her and Shu'er's door? She didn't expect it to be so close to where they lived!
No wonder I saw that scene that night and thought it was an illusion. Could such a strange and bizarre thing really have happened?
