The heavy rain in the past few days has stopped, but recently there has been a lingering drizzle. Although it is sunny now, the trees in the courtyard are still covered with dew. It is refreshing and pleasant after the rain, but the wind is slightly cool, revealing a bit of chill.
"Have you heard, Fifth Sister, that there has been a ghost in the house these days? I heard that more than a dozen maids and guards have seen it, and they say that the ghost has a ferocious face and is terrifying..." Shen Yuning said with a look of sadness on her face.
Shen Yujia seemed startled and waved her hands hurriedly: "Third sister, please don't say these things, it's so weird."
The eldest lady glanced over and said: "The talk of ghosts and gods is just the talk of strange powers and gods. Besides, how could our house be contaminated with these dirty things."
"That's not necessarily the case." Shen Fengxu said vaguely, "Has mother forgotten? Cui Yi died in an unknown way before..."
Hearing Cui Yi's name suddenly, Shen Yuxiang's body couldn't help but tremble.
Shen Yuning also agreed: "Yes, the thief slandered the eldest sister and the sixth sister. Although it is not a pity to die, it seems that he was instigated by someone. He died like this in the end. He must be filled with resentment."
"So what." The second lady snorted coldly, "He was not killed by us. Even if he wanted someone to pay with his life, he would not be able to find us."
"That's what the Second Madam said." Shen Fengxu nodded, glanced at Shen Yuxiang from the corner of his eye, and said quietly, "Cui Yi worked for others, and was killed and silenced in the end. He ended up with such a miserable end. He must not let it go even if he is a ghost. Instruct his people."
The tea cup in Shen Yuxiang's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
The porcelain suddenly shattered, the tea cup was torn into pieces, and the warm tea splashed all over the floor, staining Shen Yuxiang's body.
The old lady couldn't help frowning: "You are also a lady after all. You have to pay attention to your identity in every move you make. How is it appropriate to behave like this?"
It's just that Shen Yuxiang's face turned pale and she didn't listen to the old lady's words at all.
The eldest lady stood up and reprimanded: "I told you last night not to stay up late to practice calligraphy. How can you do it if you only sleep for one hour a day?"
As she spoke, she stepped forward and pulled Shen Yuxiang over, then turned to the old lady and said, "Yuxiang practiced calligraphy until late at night last night. She was probably too sleepy and lost her mind. My daughter-in-law took her to change clothes first."
The old lady nodded, and then said: "That's all, you all go back."
"yes."
So everyone in the room got up and left.
When they left Yunsongyuan, Shen Yujia seemed to be frightened. She huddled behind Shen Yuning and said, "Third sister, I'm a little scared."
Chen Fengxu said gently: "Fifth sister, don't worry. Even if there is a powerful ghost, he will definitely resent the person who harmed him. You and I have no guilt in our hearts, so naturally we are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."
"Yes." Shen Yuning reassured, "If you are really afraid, at worst, you and I will go to the temple together to burn incense and worship Buddha tomorrow, which will give you some peace of mind."
"Okay." Shen Yujia calmed down a little.
When Shen Yuxiang heard this, her face turned as pale as paper.
Shen Fengxu glanced at Shen Yuxiang's face, walked up to the eldest lady, and said with a smile: "Mother, although the theory of ghosts and gods is not credible, the fourth sister and the fifth sister were both frightened, and Feng Xu was also a little worried, so why not invite Let some immortal aunts and Taoist priests come to the house to practice."
Shen Yuxiang had always been in tit-for-tat with Chen Fengxu, but when he heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, please ask a few experts to do it, collect his wronged soul, and don't let him wander around the house anymore. !”
The voice continued to tremble.
The eldest lady frowned, feeling bored for a moment.
Shen Yulou and Shen Yuxiang are both her daughters, but the two daughters are completely different. If Shen Yulou is the bright moon in the sky, clear and unparalleled, then Shen Yuxiang is not even as bright as a firefly.
This incident all started because of Shen Yuxiang, and even almost harmed Shen Yulou. If Shen Yuxiang hadn't cried in front of her that night, the eldest lady would not have known that Shen Yuxiang was so stupid. But after all, she was her own daughter, so she could only deal with the aftermath for Shen Yuxiang, secretly killing her. If someone kills someone and silences them, they won't be implicated anymore.
But Cui Yi's sudden death, so unclear, also made Shen Yanning suspicious.
But at the moment, it's just a mere talk about ghosts and gods, so Shen Yuxiang is so frightened, which really makes the eldest lady feel unhappy.
But after hearing what Chen Fengxu said, the eldest lady thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine."
She already had an idea in her mind.
"In this case, it saves me and Yujia going to the temple to pray for blessings." Shen Yuning held Shen Yujia's hand and said, "Don't worry, the third sister will not go to the academy these days, she will only stay with you."
"Yeah." Shen Yujia responded.
After everyone had dispersed, Chen Fengxu turned to Dansha and said, "Have the arrangements been made?"
Dansha nodded: "Yes, Li Xiangu should be waiting for the girl at Weixiang Tower."
So Chen Fengxu smiled: "Okay, let's go."
…
The streets and markets in Beijing are still as bustling as ever.
In the private room on the second floor of Weixiang Building, Li Xiangu was waiting with some anxiety.
Early yesterday morning, a maid from a wealthy family went to look for her. Li Xiangu usually just bluffed and deceived in front of the common people. At most, she had performed rituals in Yi'an Bo Mansion more than ten years ago. No reputation and no ability.
But someone happened to look for her, and they asked her by name.
How not to panic Li Xiangu?
She waited quietly for a long time, and suddenly someone opened the door to the private room on the second floor.
A young girl walked in with her maid beside her, walked to the opposite side of Li Xiangu, and sat down.
The girl's eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and her eyebrows are slender at the temples. Even when she is not smiling, she has a strong and romantic look. Although her breath is gentle and watery, her eyes seem to be filled with emotions as deep as night, which makes her It's hard to fathom.
Li Xiangu couldn't help but stood up: "Girl..."
But the girl didn't seem to hear it. She lowered her head to look at the tea, frowned, and turned to the maidservant: "How can you get such low-quality tea into your mouth? Dansha, go and get some good Yunwu tea." "
"Yes." The servant responded and went out.
That maid was the same maid who went to look for her yesterday.
The girl just raised her eyes to look at Li Xiangu, then the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she said: "I have always heard that Li Xiangu can worship gods and can communicate with ghosts, so she must have known my identity."
Li Xiangu shook her head repeatedly. She didn't have any real ability. She was just deceiving and deceiving the common people. However, for such a wealthy and wealthy family, there was no shortage of people with real ability around her. How many pounds did she have? , she knew it in her heart and naturally never dared to provoke him.
"How can I know who the girl is?" Li Xiangu just laughed and said, "Please let me know."
The girl's eyebrows were raised slightly and her eyes squinted: "Oh? I heard that Li Xiangu once worked for Yi'an Bo's house, and she has some skills. I never thought that she didn't even know my identity. Could it be that she was cheating at that time? .”
