This worship ceremony for the deceased should have been during the day, but Xiao Tiange went against the grain and changed the ceremony to the evening.
Officials from all walks of life, as well as local wealthy people, entered through the main entrance and went to the mourning hall one after another to see the nanny off. The fact that the nanny was treated so favorably was naturally related to Xiao Tiange's reputation.
Xiao Tiange was still wearing a white mourning dress, with a cold look on her face, but she bowed to all the guests one by one with a sincere attitude.
Although everyone knew that this ceremony should be performed, due to Xiao Tiange's special status, who dared to accept Princess Shengping's ceremony in a grand manner? Therefore, when Xiao Tiange performed the ceremony, all the guests were polite.
Return gift.
It took a long time to complete the round. When it was close to midnight, the room became quiet again, and only a few of them were left.
"Could it be that the murderer knew what we were planning today, so he didn't dare to come?" Youlan on the side finally lost her composure and asked in a low voice.
Xiao Tiange's eyes darkened, and her cold gaze was directed towards Youlan who was standing aside. Youlan felt as if someone had stabbed her face with a sword, and a chill rose from the soles of her feet. She still dared not say a word.
The enemy is in the dark, and they are in the light. They cannot take it lightly at any time. Although this is the nanny's former home, they cannot be sure that there are no enemy spies or ambushes around here.
If they listen to it, then everything they have done before will be in vain. However, Xiao Tiange cannot lose this time.
The mourning hall, which was hung with black and white silk and satin, looked particularly cold and quiet, and there was an indescribable coldness.
The four people in the room, Xiao Tiange, Yueying, Chu Yunxuan, and Youlan, all stopped saying a word and just stood quietly in the center of the room.
The light in the room was dim and yellow, making the atmosphere even more eerie. A breeze blew from the window, causing the candlelight to sway wildly.
"I got tied up on the way because of something, so I came a little late. I hope the Sixth Emperor Sister won't take offense!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Tiange calmly curled her lips slightly. The big fish finally took the bait, and then the fun was about to begin.
Xiao Tiange lowered his eyes and didn't say much. You Lan lit three sticks of incense from the side and handed them to Xiao Tianci. Xiao Tianci took the incense, walked to the coffin, and bowed respectfully three times.
Xiao Tiange and Chu Yunxuan both returned gifts to Xiao Tianci. Xiao Tianci handed the incense in his hand to Youhuang who was standing aside. Youhuang took the incense and turned back to insert it into the incense burner.
The cool night breeze blew in from outside, causing the candlelight in the room to flicker faster and faster. The white candles shed tears all over the table, as if they were also crying for the deceased.
The atmosphere was a bit gloomy for a time. Xiao Tianci glanced at Xiao Tiange. Although his speed was extremely fast, Xiao Tiange still caught the panic in his eyes.
After Xiaotian returned the gift, he said:
"It is a great honor to the eldest sister that she has worked so hard to come here. My sister, on behalf of the nanny, would like to thank the eldest sister in advance!" As if she suddenly remembered something, she glanced at the big red coffin aside.
Youyou said: "If the nanny is still in heaven and wants to express my gratitude in person, my sister will naturally avoid this unnecessary step!"
Xiao Tianci's eyes flashed slightly, his face changed instantly, and his legs involuntarily faced the door, as if he wanted to escape from this gloomy place quickly.
Huh, now you know you are panicking and scared? When you killed someone, why didn't you think that evil will be punished?
The incident with the wet nurse also made her think clearly about one thing. No matter how smart or wealthy a person is, if he does not have a certain degree of power, he will not be able to survive for long just relying on money and wisdom.
If you want to compete with others, in addition to money, there is actually another very important thing, which is to establish your own power.
Apart from being the beloved Princess Shengping, she seems to have nothing more than a title. If one day she is no longer favored, will any servant in the palace be able to ride on her head?
She has no power at the moment, has no military exploits, and is still young. She really cannot make much waves in the government and the public.
To put it bluntly, people simply regard her as a little brat born with a silver spoon in her mouth. As for the respect for her, it is actually more because of her father.
Therefore, today, she has strengthened her belief that Xiao Tianci must be won with one blow, because in the remaining time, she must rearrange other things.
And this matter is related to her future safety, so it is imperative to do it. People will always be a little scared after doing something bad, and what Xiao Tiange wants is the fear from Xiao Tianci's heart.
Xiao Tianci said sarcastically: "Sixth Sister, how can you make such a joke at this time? It's really not appropriate!" Although she deliberately pretended to be calm, her eyes couldn't help but look up and down.
With a face full of fear and fear, Xiao Tiange snorted coldly. It's just the beginning now, and I will let you know later the profound meaning of the word "fear" and my personal experience that life is worse than death.
Suddenly a strong gust of wind blew, blowing the windows and doors in the house. The originally closed door was blown open by a strong gust of wind and opened with a bang.
Xiao Tianci trembled with fright, turned around and looked at the dark door. After seeing that there was nothing at the door, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But an even more frightening feeling suddenly rose up behind her, and her heart seemed to jump into her throat. She turned her head slowly, like a machine, bit by bit.
"Ah!" screamed, and she instinctively ran out, but as soon as she ran to the door, the door quickly closed, blocking her way. Out of instinct, she banged on the door wildly, not forgetting to shout loudly.
shouted:
"Let me go out and don't come looking for me. I didn't kill you. You have to go find someone else. I didn't kill you!"
Just when Xiao Tianci turned her head, she saw the wet nurse with disheveled hair and wearing a white gown slowly crawling out of the mahogany coffin little by little.
The long black hair covered most of her face. Although the light in the room was dim and she could not see clearly, the scene was really too scary and weird.
What frightened Xiao Tianci even more was that several people in the room disappeared in an instant. In the huge room, except for her, there was the dead man crawling out of the coffin.
Xiao Tianci felt that all the hairs on his back seemed to stand on end, and waves of chills rose from the soles of his feet, instantly covering his whole body.
She still didn't give up and knocked on the door hard. Her voice was a little hoarse, but she still yelled wildly:
"Open the door, open the door quickly, there is a ghost, let me out quickly!"
