Tang Si Afraid of Ghosts
Jing Rong carried Ji Yunshu away, leaving Marquis Kang dumbfounded.
It took him a while to react. He glared angrily at the captured Cai Da and waved his hand. "Lock him in the woodshed. If Teacher Ji is really injured, I'll kill you."
Cai Da did not struggle and allowed himself to be dragged away.
Jing Rong carried Ji Yunshu back to the room and immediately called for Mo Ruo.
Ji Yunshu spread her hands on the table and allowed Mo Ruo to apply medicine on her palm. She gritted her teeth in pain when the medicine stained her palms, but she forced herself not to make a sound.
"Does it hurt?" Mo Ruo was gloating. "Look at you. You took on that ghost case, and now you're investigating a death case. This is obviously the Jingzhou prefectural magistrate's matter. Marquis Kang is really too much, stuffing things into your hands whenever he can. He really knows how to save trouble."
"It's just a little cut."
"If that knife had slashed you, would you still be able to say such words?"
This!
Ji Yunshu did not speak.
Jing Rong, who was standing at the side, looked angrily and worriedly at her bloodied palms. He secretly clenched his fists and frowned. "Are we still investigating?"
Ji Yunshu looked at him. "Yes, this case is very strange. Why not investigate?"
"Your hands are already like this. Do we still need to investigate?"
"Don't we still have you!"
"This prince?" Jing Rong was confused.
Ji Yunshu smiled. She wanted to keep him in suspense. "You'll know in a while.
She's a little treacherous!
What is this woman up to?
After Mo Ruo finished bandaging her palms, she looked at her bandaged hands, then looked at Jing Rong, who was standing at the side in confusion.
Her gaze sent a chill down Jing Rong's spine.
… …
As soon as the sky darkened, everyone hurried back to their rooms. After all, Granny Lin's death was too strange. Everyone trembled in fear. They were afraid that something unclean was really behind this.
Tang Si, who had a ghost knocking on her door, was also very scared.
She stayed in the room all day, with a little girl accompanying her.
Speaking of which, it was strange. She was bold and fearless by nature. In the forest, she was accompanied by wolves, caught wild beasts, and encountered fierce tigers. She had experienced everything. Usually, her mouth was a little stubborn, saying that she was not afraid of ghosts. But when she remembered that she had been knocked on the door by an illusory 'ghost' for an entire night, she was now covered in cold sweat. She always felt that the back of her head had been flipped open by someone, and the cold wind was drilling straight in.
She couldn't help but hug her arms tightly.
The maid who had accompanied her the whole day also returned to her room at night.
"Miss Tang, hurry up and rest. I'll return to my courtyard first."
"You." "Lin" Lin Of Lin Lin.
"No, it's already so late. If I don't leave now, I'll …" He didn't dare to continue. He lowered his head and looked out the window, swallowing his saliva.
Tang Si quickly got up and pulled her back, "Good girl, stay with me. How about this, we sleep together tonight, I promise I won't squeeze you."
This was the first time a guest wanted to sleep with her.
She hurriedly took a few steps back and said, "Miss Tang, please don't joke with a maid like me. How can I sleep on the same bed as you?"
"Of course, of course. You can stay."
"Aiya, this … it's already so late. Miss Tang, you should quickly go to bed. I … I really can't stay here. Please don't make things difficult for me."
The maidservant pulled away the hand that was grabbing her arm and ran away.
If he didn't return to his room and waited for the sky to turn darker, he might run into something unlucky!
Tang Si chased after her until she reached the door. The lass was like water that had been splashed out, there was no way to catch her back. She clutched the door tightly, thought for a moment, and then ran out.
Instead of chasing after the girl, she went to Mo Ruo's room.
At this time, Mo Ruo returned from Ji Yunshu's place. He was drinking tea and reading a book in his room. He was engrossed in reading when someone suddenly rushed in from outside the door and sat down beside him. Without saying anything, the person pulled the book out of his hand and looked at him with big, pleading eyes.
"I'll sleep with you tonight."
Pfft!
Mo Ruo spat out a mouthful of tea!
Not a single drop was spilled on Tang Si's face.
He wiped his mouth in disbelief, "You … sleep with me?"
Tang Si's face was covered in tea and she looked miserable. After a long time, she opened her eyes. As she wiped her face, she clenched her fists and punched the man in front of her, cursing, "Did you do it on purpose?!"
"What do you mean by on purpose? I think you're the one who did it on purpose. How dare you say such things to me? Are you even a woman? "
"What did I say? Isn't it just sleeping with you? "
"This …" Mo Ruo was speechless.
Tang Si punched his arm again, "What are you thinking? What I meant was that we'll be sleeping in the same room, but not on the same bed."
"Then why do you want to sleep in the same room as me? Why do I remember that Marquis Kang gave you a big and spacious room? Why didn't you just stay in your own room? Why did you come to my place? "
"I …" She choked and bit her lip, "I just want to accompany you."
"Accompany me?"
"That's right. Look, so many strange things have happened in the estate recently. I was worried that you'd be scared, so I came to accompany you. I'm being kind, Ah Mo. You know how kind I am." She smiled, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.
Mo Ruo shuddered. He felt that the smile was sinister, like a gust of cold wind wrapping around him.
Is this woman crazy?
He touched her forehead with the back of his hand, "You're not sick! Why are you talking nonsense? I've even been to the mass grave several times. Why would I be worried about ghosts? Besides, Jing Rong and Teacher Ji both said that there are no humans in this world, only human hearts. I think the strange things happening in the estate are clearly man-made. "
"That's hard to say. Although I haven't gone to see that Granny Lin, I heard from the servant girl that even Ah Ji couldn't find the cause of her death. She died for no reason. And the child who knocked on my door last night, tell me, what's going on?"
Mo Ruo finally understood after she said that.
"So you're not here to accompany me. You're afraid."
Ah!
Tang Si's face turned green when her thoughts were seen through. She pouted awkwardly, "So what if I am? We're going to get married sooner or later anyway. What's wrong with sleeping in the same room? "
Pfft!
Mo Ruo frowned deeply, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who's getting married to you? "
Oh my, still trying to deny it!
Tang Si's face was full of displeasure. She looked like a creditor and began to scold him, "Previously, we slept in the same bed in Yufu for one night. Later, you saw my naked body. Although nothing happened between us, but … I'm already yours. You were the one who asked me to follow you back to the capital, so it's only right for us to get married. If we were in Houliao, we would already be married."
"Great Aunt, can you not bring up the past?"
