Xuan Bao clapped his hands, put his hands on his hips, and the little doll put on a posture of laughing up to the sky, with the corners of his mouth grinning almost to the base of his ears, but he was quite restrained and did not even laugh out loud.
When Lao Zhou, who was flying so fast, arrived, he couldn't help laughing when he saw Xuan Bao's appearance, and almost dropped the important thing in his hand.
Xuan Bao was about to brag a few words when she glanced inadvertently and saw a wisp of smoke rising from Lao Zhou's back.
No, Xuan Bao rushed towards Lao Zhou as fast as lightning, and quickly snatched the things that Lao Zhou had finally stolen from his hands with his little hands.
Lao Zhou felt a little burning on his back. When he turned his head suddenly, the smoke rose and dissipated. The magic talisman originally attached to his back spontaneously ignited.
"What a risk, I almost hurt you." Xuan Bao threw the thing into the space without looking.
Anyway, the experienced Taoist master who was bored in the space would do his own research, so Xuan Bao was not in a hurry to take a closer look.
"Miss Seventh, what is this?" Lao Zhou was shocked when he saw ghosts drifting into the west courtyard from the corner.
"It's nothing. I broke a hole in the barrier guarding the West Cross Courtyard." Xuan Bao pulled Lao Zhou's hand, "Let's go, this is not the place to talk."
Lao Zhou was still in a daze until he left Xikuoyuan. Miss Seven was so powerful that she made a hole in the barrier, which was beyond the imagination of ghosts.
Xuan Bao walked in the moonlight, and the soles of his feet stepped on the shadows of the leaves swaying in the wind on the garden path. The little baby was in a good mood and skipped around.
Silently floating beside Xuan Bao, Lao Zhou saw several ghosts floating towards the west courtyard on the way. It seemed that the second lady would be sick tomorrow.
"Old Zhou." Xuan Bao picked off the leaves of the shrubs beside the path and played with them. "You have been squatting in the second room for these days. Have you noticed anything unusual about Xiao Liao?"
"Second Master?" Lao Zhou came back to his senses, "Miss Qi only asked me to keep an eye on the Second Madam. Besides, the Second Master often goes out. When he comes back and stays at Qimei Courtyard at night, the young couple is talking to each other. I am such a bad old man.
Sorry to go in."
Xuan Bao couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this: "Are you embarrassed to stare? You are such a stickler for rules. Are they the only two who are still young? They are already old."
"The second master and second wife called me Uncle Zhou back then." Lao Zhou explained.
"I understand, you don't know anything about Xiao Liao." Xuan Bao shook his head helplessly, "What about the other people in the second room?"
Speaking of the juniors, Lao Zhou knew more or less from Fang Rongru: "The eldest young lady and the eldest young master are good friends."
"Well, I also think cousin Youduo and sister Mingshan are pretty good."
"The second young lady has the same temperament as her mother. She is not as vicious as she is now that she is young, but given time, she will be indistinguishable."
"Xiao Minghu is not a good person at first glance."
"By the way, Xiao Mingzhu's maid has come to see Xiao Minghu several times."
"Xiao Mingzhu? Then has she been to Xikuoyuan?"
"I came here once, Xiao Minghu took her to meet Fang Rongru, but they didn't meet for long, just a cup of tea." Lao Zhou lowered his head guiltily, "I happened to leave for a while that day, and I didn't listen at all.
No matter what they say."
Xuan Bao did not blame Lao Zhou: "It's hard for you to stare at Fang Rongru every day. Now that the barrier is opened, those brats will be pestering her day and night. Just ask them from time to time."
"As for Xiao Youfeng, he has completely disgraced the Xiao family." Lao Zhou thought of Xiao Youfeng's actions and despised him, "His parents have spoiled him rotten and he will only get into trouble."
"Speaking of which, the couple prefers their younger son to others and doesn't treat their eldest son well."
"Yes, if I hadn't witnessed Xiao Liao being carried out of the delivery room, I would have doubted that he was not their son."
Xuan Bao frowned. Originally, she really thought that Xiao Youduo might not be Xiao Liao's son, but Lao Zhou's words undoubtedly confirmed that he was really the eldest son of the second wife.
"By the way, Miss Seven, since you don't have to keep an eye on Fang Rongru anymore, what else do you want to tell me to do?"
"You don't do anything for now, just follow me. Maybe your cultivation level can be improved while you have time."
Hearing this, Lao Zhou was so excited that he couldn't speak. He knew very well that it was not easy to improve one's cultivation, but Miss Seventh was a person with a golden merit bead, so what she said must be reliable.
While he was talking, he had already arrived outside Lingyunyuan Xuanbao's bedroom. Lao Zhou bowed slightly and retreated under the big tree outside the door to watch the seventh lady enter.
Xuan Bao tiptoed without disturbing Xia Yu, who was sleeping outside. She relaxed after she came to the back room, took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed and lay down.
If Xia Yu knew that she had sneaked out alone at night, she and Dong Xue would drown him in the saliva tomorrow. Xuan Bao felt disgusted in his heart, but he couldn't help but laugh. It felt like someone cared about her and was nagging her.
Not bad either.
"What are you thinking about? You're laughing so much that your mouth is watering." The veteran Taoist master in the space joked.
Xuan Bao came into the space: "Old Taoist master, what did you see?"
"You'll never guess who this thing belongs to?"
"Old Taoist master, stop showing off and tell me quickly. If you don't tell me, I will pull your beard." Xuan Bao said coquettishly.
Even though he knew that now he was just a wisp of soul and had no body, and Xuan Bao could not catch his beard, he still felt good about his young disciple pretending to be stupid and treating him as he was in the past.
"It's the object used by your senior brother Xuan Hui to cast a spell."
Xuan Bao was stunned. Previously, the old monk was involved, but now his senior brother Xuan Hui, who has passed away, was involved.
"Master Taoist, is Senior Brother Xuan Hui still alive?"
"Dead." The old Taoist master was very sure. "He probably has nothing to do with your second aunt. Maybe this thing came into her hands after some twists and turns."
Thinking of Senior Brother Xuan Hui's disciples and grandchildren, Xuan Bao frowned: "You are right. Speaking of which, Senior Brother's disciples and grandchildren are not very good. Maybe they took Senior Brother's things."
"Don't think too much. Anyway, with the experienced Taoist master here, the sky will not fall."
"Well, the old Taoist master will always stay with me."
"Okay." The old Taoist master looked at Xuan Bao's cute and innocent smile and couldn't bear to tell her, so he just followed her words.
Seeing Xuan Bao yawning, the old Taoist master felt distressed and drove her back to sleep.
"Xuan Bao will definitely be very sad when I disappear into thin air." The veteran Taoist master sighed deeply in the space.
Early in the morning, when Xiao Liao got up, he noticed that something was wrong with Fang Rongru lying next to her. She had become much more haggard in just half a night, and her face looked frighteningly pale.
Soon, after the Sixth Miss, the news that the Second Madam was also ill spread throughout the entire Hou Mansion.
Xuan Bao drank millet porridge slowly and listened to Qiu Yue and Xia Yu gloating about their misfortune. The little doll and the old god were not surprised at all.
"When you are sick, you should take good care of yourself. Second Aunt should be more at ease now." Xuan Bao was in a good mood and ate two more glutinous rice cakes.
