"Hey, are you addicted to picking up people? Did you know that if someone scares you, you will scare them to death?"

Shen Xinyue managed to stand firm, and hurriedly patted her chest with her hands and asked in a low voice, "Fortunately, I'm quite brave and didn't yell out, otherwise the courtyard would definitely be in trouble now."

Huo Weilou laughed and said, "You are quite brave. I don't know who was panicking when they heard the noise just now."

Shen Xinyue said "cut" and said disapprovingly, "That's a natural human reaction, okay-"

Before he finished speaking, he was pushed down by Huo Weilou and fell to the roof. His mouth was blocked by his hand and he couldn't make any sound. He was about to struggle when he suddenly realized something and followed Huo Weilou's gaze.

I saw three or two figures in the distance quietly sneaking into the old princess's courtyard, running along the cobblestone path to the lotus pond, looking around, and then the few people quietly squatted down and unloaded a basket from their backs. He opened the lid and poured the contents into the lotus pond.

"What is that? A fish? Two days ago, there was a rumor in this house that there was a strange phenomenon coming from the sky. All the koi that the old princess had raised for many years died overnight. I really want to see those people. Is your brain flooded? You are just talking nonsense without checking the reason." Shen Xinyue muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Have you found it?" Huo Weilou asked.

"No - to be precise, I didn't have time to check. Just when I was about to check, I heard some noise, and then I was taken here to watch a show." Shen Xinyue looked sideways at Huo Weilou, still thinking about what he had just done. He was startled and protested, "But, then again, where did you come from?"

Huo Weilou: "..."

What kind of word is this? "Come out"! Is this what a serious regent should say? She should be trained and trained in the future.

"My prince's palace, is it strange for me, a dignified regent, to appear anywhere in my palace?" Huo Weilou asked in return.

"That's not surprising. However, not taking the right path and falling from the sky is not what a serious regent should do in his own palace." Shen Xinyue retorted unceremoniously.

Fortunately, the night was too dark to see any expression on the face. Huo Weilou complained: It makes sense for an unorthodox regent to be paired with an unorthodox regent.

Shen Xinyue deliberately teased Huo Weilou. Seeing that he didn't speak, she lightly touched Huo Weilou with her shoulder and said jokingly: "Are you worried about me and are you here for me?"

Huo Weilou slowly looked back, met Shen Xinyue's eyes waiting for a good show, and gently put his hand on her shoulder.

Shen Xinyue smiled slightly, "What? It's harmful again-"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped into the air and was carried to the lotus pond by Huo Weilou.

Shen Xinyue: "..."

Brother, don’t play like this, okay?

If you have something to say, say it nicely without touching anyone, okay!

"Can you see clearly what's in the lotus pond?" Huo Weilou stared into the pond with a stern expression.

By the way, there were still serious things to do, so Shen Xinyue immediately put aside her playful thoughts.

Following Huo Weilou's gaze, Shen Xinyue frowned slightly, "It's a snake. A poisonous snake. I thought these people just bought some more koi and put them in."

"Releasing fish in the middle of the night?" Huo Weilou snorted coldly.

"I just don't want to think bad things about others." Shen Xinyue naturally knew that there would be nothing serious about ghosts appearing in this courtyard in the middle of the night, but subconsciously she still didn't want bad things to happen.

"I'll ask Huo Xing to take care of this place." Huo Weilou sighed and turned around to leave.

"No need. I'll do it."

Since some people are constantly doing tricks, then stay with her.

Shen Xinyue took out a beautiful little bag from her arms, untied the small belt, took out a small paper bag, put it under her nose, smelled it, smiled slightly, and poured it into the lotus pond. middle.

"You want to poison these poisonous snakes?" Huo Weilou was a little confused.

"No. That wouldn't be fun. I just fed these snakes some delicious food." Shen Xinyue emptied the paper bag, put the beautiful kit away again, clapped her hands, and rushed Huo Weilou smiled slyly.

"Just take these poisonous creatures away, throw them in front of them, and expose them. Why bother causing trouble again?"

Looking at the evil smile on Shen Xinyue's face, Huo Weilou knew that she would not give up and was worried that she would anger those people. Compared with those people, Shen Xinyue was weak in this house and was a female prostitute. , if you fail to take care of someone, and someone really plots against you, the consequences will be disastrous.

Shen Xinyue didn't think so. When she heard that he wanted to settle the matter, her expression dimmed and she looked at Huo Weilou with disdain, "It seems that you are not here for me, but for the person behind you. You are so afraid. Has she been betrayed? Huo Weilou, don't forget your identity."

If Lan Qing is your sister-in-law, are you still thinking about her? Shen Xinyue suddenly felt very unhappy. She had been cuckolded, but she was still thinking about her.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this person was unreasonable. Shen Xinyue stopped talking and angrily left the old princess's yard at night. Huo Weilou followed closely behind without explaining anything.

Early next morning.

Shen Xinyue woke up to a sudden knock on the door. She got dressed and went to open the door. She saw a sweet-looking girl about seventeen or eighteen years old standing outside the door, "Princess——"

As soon as the girl opened her mouth, Shen Xinyue stopped her, "I'm not a princess. I got married by mistake and haven't left yet. I'm just staying in the palace for the time being. Who are you, girl?"

"Back to the princess, this servant was called by the prince to serve you, and her name is Siqi. The prince's original words were that when the princess comes to the house for the first time, she needs to have someone who knows her and cares about her carefully, and must not be negligent in the slightest. So I gave the order to the servant. coming."

Although Si Qi is young, he looks very stable. The meaning of his words is also very obvious. First, the prince asked him to come, and second, the person serving him is the princess.

Shen Xinyue pinched her temples. She slept late last night and was woken up again early this morning. She couldn't figure out Huo Weilou's intention for a moment, so she didn't care. She yawned and asked, "Call me so early. "What's the matter?" The slave disturbed the master's dream early in the morning. It is impossible to do anything without something important.

"Back to the princess, it was the madam who sent someone to invite the princess to the old princess's courtyard. Early this morning, the old princess sent people outside to invite a master. He said he could exorcise ghosts and remove curses from the mansion. Now he is called Kill everyone in the house." Si Qi said very clearly.

However, Shen Xinyue didn't understand one thing, "Madam? Which madam?"

"It's the second young master's wife, Lan Qingruo." Si Qi replied.

"Oh~" Shen Xinyue knew clearly, were they in such a hurry? They just laid out the plan yesterday, and they couldn't wait early this morning.

Okay, let’s take a walk, who is afraid of whom?

Shen Xinyue was now completely awake, "Si Qi, since you are following me now, then listen to me. First, call me Miss Shen; second, when you follow me later, go help me with something."

Si Qi still wanted to debate the issue of address, but seeing Shen Xinyue's firm expression, he nodded in agreement.

When Shen Xinyue changed clothes and rushed to the old princess's house with Si Qi, everyone was already there.

The location for the master's practice was the lotus-viewing pavilion in the old princess's courtyard.

"Sister Shen, today the mansion has invited a master to exorcise ghosts and remove the curse. We cannot be neglectful. Why did you come? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

As soon as Lan Qingruo saw Shen Xinyue, she couldn't wait to greet her. Her words sounded like she was concerned, but in fact they implied that she didn't take the matters arranged by the old princess seriously. On the other hand, she also hinted to people that the master came to drive her away. Hell, there is something wrong with anyone who feels uncomfortable at this time.

Shen Xinyue pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and did not directly take up Lan Qingruo's topic, but asked: "Oh, please invite the master to come to the house to practice. Who is in charge of such a big thing?"

Lan Qingruo thought that Shen Xinyue wanted to compete with her for status in the mansion, so she couldn't hide her pride, "I'm in charge."

"Oh, you presided over it. You never told me, how could I know that such a big thing happened in the house?" Shen Xinyue asked directly.

This moment made Lan Qingruo freeze on the spot.

Damn it, she was always on guard against Shen Xinyue, fearing that she would be wary and make plans in advance, so she didn't even think of informing her.

However, after thinking about it, Lan Qingruo's seemingly harmless smile appeared on her cheeks again, "I was negligent. I thought that Sister Shen would come to the princess's house every day to say hello, so she would know about such a big thing, but I didn't think……"

Lan Qingruo did not continue talking, because she knew that Shen Xinyue had never visited the old princess to say hello, and she just wanted to tell everyone on purpose.

who knows--

"I am an upright person, and I have never had any intentions of conspiracy. So there is no need to sway anyone. Naturally, there is no need to come here every day to offer tea to people who are flattering and don't want to see me."

The words shocked everyone.

Everyone here has never heard such a bold person say such straightforward words, and they whispered among themselves in private for a while.

When the old princess saw that the verbal dispute between Lan Qingruo and Shen Xinyue not only failed to gain any advantage, but also made her whole body arrogant, she felt that she had been looking down on the daughter of the Taifu Palace in front of her. She patted the table impatiently. "Okay, okay, what are you arguing about? What time has it been? You are still talking about unimportant things. It has delayed the master's time to exorcise ghosts and remove curses. Who can shoulder this responsibility?"

After all, the old princess smoothed things over. Lan Qingruo nodded immediately, "Yes, princess."

Then he ignored Shen Xinyue, turned to look at everyone, and said loudly: "Recently, there have been a series of ominous omens in my house, which made everyone in my house panic. In order to ensure the peace of the house, I specially invited the master to come to my house today. During the practice, everyone must remain quiet and do not make any noise."

After finishing speaking, a master wearing a Taoist priest's uniform and holding a fly whisk walked up to the offering table with eight-character steps.

The altar table was filled with various magical instruments for practicing rituals. The master would spit out flames and pour wine to invite the gods. He was very busy.

After all this was done, the master's eyes were closed tightly, his left hand was raised on his chest, his right hand threw the fly whisk into the crook of his left arm, and he muttered something.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes and looked around at the people around him, "I was entrusted by the palace to come here today to perform a ritual to ward off evil spirits. According to my calculations, this evil spirit originated from this lotus pond, but is that so?"

Lan Qingruo nodded in agreement, "The master's calculation revealed that all the koi that the old princess had raised for many years died overnight from the lotus pond." After saying this, he deliberately showed some panic.

Look.

Everyone also echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, it does start from the lotus pond."

"That's right." The master said proudly, "The evil spirit caused trouble in this pond. It not only killed the koi in the pond, but also disturbed the water god in the pond. The water god made it clear that the evil spirit is now among the people here...
