The frightened Mao almost bounced up from the Luohan bed, raised his feet and walked out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Another maid hurriedly chased after her: "Madam, don't go-"
Mao turned a deaf ear, as if to verify something, and looked at the window.
Outside, the wind was blowing and pouring in through the open windows. Completely gone, the starlight and moonlight of the night are as thick as ink.
It just so happened that a thunderbolt fell, and the outside instantly brightened as day.
The woman outside the window was dressed in white and her face was as pure as snow, but at a glance, she was not popular.
The eldest girl Chunzhi only thought she was a ghost when she saw the woman in white outside the window, but Mao recognized it at a glance.
This is Qiao Zhao who died in the Northland!
The white-clothed woman outside the window suddenly bleed from the corners of her eyes and mouth.
Mao's brain exploded: "Don't come here, don't come over, I didn't want to kill your brother!" β
She fell softly, and another maid Qiuhua followed by screaming: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts!" β
She looked closer, but there was no shadow outside the window.
The maids and the ladies were all alarmed by the fact that he was sleeping in the study, and in a short time, the lights were already brightened everywhere, and everyone rushed over against the wind and rain.
Seeing the people arrive, the two slumped maids trembled like chaff, tears of horror flowed all over their faces, not to mention how embarrassed, and kept shouting: "Ghost, female ghost in white!" β
Ko Bohai strode over and said with a cold face: "Don't help your wife to the bed yet." β
The maids and mothers-in-law carried the fainted Mao to the bed.
Kou Bohai asked the two maids in a deep voice: "What's going on?" β
The two maids pointed to the open window in unison: "There are ghosts outside the window, and there are female ghosts in white." β
Cobhai strode to the window.
At this time, the rain had fallen, and the wind was blowing in the rain, and the white silk cloth tied to the window lattice was swaying in the wind, which was particularly conspicuous.
Ko Bohai took off the white veil and looked out the window, but there was no one outside.
"Look for any traces of someone outside." Ko Bohai commanded.
Zi is silent and confused, and he believes that there are villains more than believing that there are ghosts.
Kou Bohai glanced down at the white silk handkerchief, and there was a line of vermilion characters on it: "Auntie, what you do, I look at it."
is a very straightforward sentence, the bright red words fall on the white silk, but it makes people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
Kobhai was horrified.
Why does this handwriting look so familiar?
He was so frightened that he suddenly heard the joyful shouts of the maids and maids from inside: "Mrs. is awake." β
Ko Bohai walked in quickly.
Mao's face was pale and miserable, just like the white silk in Kou Bohai's hand, and when he saw him come in, his dull eyes rolled, and his lips moved slightly: "Master-"
"Ma'am, are you alright?" Ko Bohai patted Mao's arm.
Mao was like a frightened child, and shrank straight into Kou Bohai's arms: "Master, there are ghosts, there are ghosts!" β
"Don't be afraid, madam, you're wrongβ"
Mao's splitter snatched the white silk from Kou Bohai's hand: "What is this?" β
When it was opened, the blood characters on the white silk struck the Mao family like a thunderbolt.
She froze and let out a hoarse scream: "Go away, go away, don't pester me, don't pester me!" β
Mao hugged her head and was about to run out, but Kou Bohai stopped her: "Madam, don't run, there are really no ghosts-"
Before he could finish speaking, Mao had already fallen softly.
"Doctor."
The whole Shangshu Mansion was brightly lit up all night, and the red lanterns hanging under the corridor were blown by the wind and rain to shake constantly, and the candles flickered and flickered, just like the panic and anxiety in the house.
Mao, who woke up again, went crazy.
In front of the masters and doctors of Shangshu Mansion, Mao kept reciting a sentence in his mouth: "I didn't kill Qiao Mo, I just wanted him to be poisoned because he was not in good health, please don't come to pester me, don't come to pester me......"
This made everyone stunned, Kou Shangshu immediately decided to give the doctor a large amount of money as hush money, turned his head and immediately arranged for someone to move the Mao family to the most remote courtyard in the mansion, and called it Jinghui to the outside world.
"Did the white-clothed female ghost in the mouths of the Mao family and the maids find any clues last night?" Kou Shangshu asked Kou Bohai.
Ko Bohai shook his head: "No, it's obviously raining, and there are not even footprints left outside." β
The crowd was silent.
Kou Bohai couldn't help but say, "Father, could there really be a ghost-"
"Confused, do you believe in this kind of thing?"
Kou Bohai took out the white silk handkerchief: "Father, mother, you two take a look, this is what I found at the window where the female ghost appeared last night, and I have to think like this because I saw this." β
Kou Shangshu stretched out his hand to take it, and when he saw a line of blood characters on it, his eyes tightened.
Old Madam Xue, who was in a heavy mood, glanced at it and was shocked: "This, this is-"
Kou Shangshu closed his eyes, and his voice trembled a little: "This is Zhaozhao's handwriting!" β
As soon as these words came out, the room was silent.
If Mao and the others saw that the female ghost in white might be a human pretend, how did they do it with the same handwriting as their dead granddaughter?
The deeper you think about it, the cooler it becomes.
Old Madam Xue lowered her eyes and cried: "My poor granddaughter! In any case, it is true that Mao has done something that has lost his conscience. What is her heart made of, how can she harm Mo'er like this! β
Suddenly there was an exclamation outside: "Eldest sister, eldest sister, what's wrong with you?" β
Kou Qinglan rushed in and burst into tears: "Eldest sister fainted!" β
Mao's gossip was said in front of everyone, and they naturally heard it.
The elders were discussing their mother's affairs in the back room, and the three of them could not listen to it, so they could only wait in silence outside as if they were being tortured.
But even if they couldn't hear the elders, they knew that even if their mother's madness could be cured, it would be completely over.
After some tossing, Kou Zimo slowly woke up and choked up: "Zimo is not filial, which makes grandfather, grandmother and father worried." β
Withdrawing irrelevant people, Old Madam Xue sighed and said earnestly: "Zimo, Qinglan, after your mother gave birth to Tianyu, her health has not been very good, and you are considered to have been raised by me. Have you forgotten what your grandmother taught you? In this life, there is no smooth road, there will be many pits waiting for you to stumble and never get up again. So when you encounter something, the first thing you have to do is to calm down. Your mother did something wrong, and now it can be regarded as self-inflicted, but you can't stop your own life path because of this, don't you say? β
"Yes." The juniors bowed their heads in unison.
"Okay, now that you understand, you all go down."
After sending away the juniors, Kou Shangshu stared at the white silk handkerchief and said in a deep voice: "Go and investigate, how did Mao's poison that harmed Mo'er come from!" β
