Chapter Twenty-Five: Uninvited

Inside the Huashang Temple.

Su Qianling sat on the soft couch with a book in his hand, and there was a cup of tea and a stack of cloud cakes on the table in front of him, which was Su Qianling's habit for so many years.

After reading a page, Su Qianling reached out and took a shallow sip of the cup, put the cup down, and habitually reached out to take the cloud cake, but the moment her hand stretched out, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, she raised her head to look at the tempting stack of cloud cakes, frowned, and withdrew her hand.

"Third Miss, a few days ago, you asked me to inquire about the affairs of the Luoyang Palace, and a letter came." Mother Hua entered the house, took an envelope and handed it to Su Qianling, saw that Su Qianling's cup was almost dry, and reached out to fill the cup with tea.

Su Qianling paused, looked away from the book, took the envelope and opened it, there were two pages of stationery inside, Junxiu's Xiaokai was vigorous and powerful, it seemed that Mother Jin had found a reliable person to write.

Duanmu Gaoyang, the eldest son of the current three princes, has the courage and resourcefulness to win the emperor's heart, and now he is in charge of the guards at the south gate, with 3,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and he can be regarded as the emperor's henchman.

Most of the letters are about Duanmu Gaoyang's achievements and preferences over the years, these Su Qianling have long been so clear that they can't be clearer, seeing the last page, Su Qianling's face moved slightly, recently Duanmu Gaoyang frequently went out of the house in the middle of the night, and when he went out, he didn't take anyone with him, and he only went back early in the morning, as for what he was going to do, the people who sent it out were not as good as Duanmu Gaoyang's light skills, so they haven't been able to find out.

Her eyes lingered on the letter, Su Qianling's face became colder and colder, and now as long as she thought of something about Duanmu Gaoyang, she couldn't suppress the hatred that flowed wildly in her body, and her whole body trembled slightly, how could such hatred be vented with a thousand cuts!

The cold as an ice cellar stirred between Su Qianling's eyes for a long time before dissipating, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his complexion improved slightly.

After reading the letter, Su Qianling reached out and threw the letter into the stove next to him with the envelope, the orange flames licked the pages, and instantly turned into thin ash, and as the weight increased, it collapsed instantly, and fused with the ashes in the furnace, and they could no longer distinguish each other.

"Keep staring, don't keep staring too closely." Su Qianling lightly opened her lips, and a sentence came out of her mouth, her tone was still as calm as before, but there was a little more coldness out of thin air.

Mother Jin paused, looked at Su Qianling's cold face, nodded, as if she remembered something, and the foot that she just wanted to step out of was retracted: "I just chose two bold little guys, they grew up in the house, and they are both reassuring people, let them go to Huarongju to wait now?" ”

Su Qianling's face changed slightly, put the book in his hand on the table, and after a moment, the corners of his lips raised slightly: "No, go after the lamp, let them hide in the old lady's courtyard." ”

Mother Jin responded, her face eased, thinking that this was also the best, she restrained the love on her face, and was ready to withdraw with the teapot in her hand.

"Mother Jin!" When Jin's mother was about to go out, Su Qianling suddenly stopped her, watched her turn around, and pointed to the cloud cake on the table: "Take the cloud cake down, don't go up in the future." ”

Mother Jin was stunned, isn't this cloud cake the third lady's favorite thing to eat? Drinking tea and eating cloud cake while reading a book is a habit that Miss San has always had, what's wrong with it today?

Su Qianling's face moved slightly, looking at Mother Jin's stunned face, she reached out again and picked up the book on the table, and she didn't want to explain.

In her previous life, she loved cloud cakes, especially Song Shunzhai in the east of the city, she never got tired of eating, Duanmu Gaoyang was courteous to her at that time, and she also sent cloud cakes every day, at that time I really thought he was sincere, but now I think about myself It's ridiculous, and now when I see this cloud cake, I can't help but think of my previous life, where can I still eat it?

Mother Jin looked at Su Qianling's cold expression, and she didn't dare to ask more, sighed silently, and reached out to remove the cloud cake on the table and take it out.

The sun gradually turned west, and as the glow slowly fell, the golden sunlight gradually added a layer of red brilliance, and the busy pace began to slow down.

As the lights in the courtyards came up, two people who were not tall quickly rushed into the side courtyard of Huarongju, hiding in the bushes, and with the dim shadow pressing over, no one could be seen from the outside at all.

Mother Hua served the old lady to sleep, and explained Liuli and Liuyu, then went out to her own house, and when she arrived at the door, she glanced at the maid who was keeping vigil, and her voice was a little more shocking: "Be vigilant, the old lady has just been able to sleep well these days, don't make a noise about her!" ”

Thinking of what happened last night, the two maids were scared, but they didn't dare to face Mother Hua, seeing Mother Hua go away, the two couldn't help but wrap their hands around their bodies, I don't know if it was cold at night or cold in their hearts.

In the house, Liuyu saw that the old lady was sleeping peacefully, and she changed her clothes and fell asleep, Liuli followed Su Qianling to see the two maids who were keeping vigil last night during the day, and she felt cold in her heart, and she couldn't sleep, turning over back and forth on the soft couch outside, and looking up at the outside from time to time.

I was thinking about it in my heart, when I suddenly heard a slight noise from the old lady in the room, and Liuli sat up suddenly, and before she could put on her shoes, she heard the old lady's exclamation.

Liuli was shocked, and rushed towards the back room without putting on her shoes, and when she opened the curtain, she saw the old lady's eyes wide open and looking at the window, her face was a little pale, and her body trembled slightly.

"Old lady!"

Seeing that the old lady couldn't sit steadily, Liuli hurriedly stepped forward to support her, her eyes turned to the place where the old lady looked over, but she didn't see anything, she couldn't help frowning.

Liuyu was woken up, and hurriedly entered the house, as soon as she pushed the door, she saw a shadow flashing in front of the window, she suddenly turned pale with fright, and couldn't help screaming, scared out of a cold sweat.

"Ghosts! Ghosts! The old lady grabbed Liuli's hand, her lips trembled between her words, and her face turned pale without a trace of blood.

Liuli's heart trembled suddenly, her hands grabbed the old lady tightly, her face turned white in an instant, she saw it, when Liuyu came in, she saw the shadow!

Ruyu trembled and got together with Liuli, unable to say a word, only trembling all over her body, until the little maid in the courtyard heard the cry and rushed in.

"Yes...... Ghosts! Ruyu's face was so frightened that her whole body trembled, she couldn't finish a sentence, she stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of the window, her fingers trembling.

This time, there is no doubt that Huarongju is haunted, not a rumor or a speculation, but a fact, the old lady and Liuli Liuyu saw it with their own eyes, can there be anything wrong?

Early in the morning, Su Qianling woke up early as usual, and as soon as she got dressed, the two little servants sent to Huarongju yesterday came to report and described the events of last night in detail.

As soon as the tea gargling in his hand was served, Su Qianling paused slightly, and his face was a little more cold with softness, but in an instant, he quickly regained his former calm, rewarded the little girl, and still rinsed his mouth and washed as usual.

"Miss...... Do you still go to Huarongju today? Zhiyan stood and stretched out his hand, and the peach comb in his hand passed through Su Qianling's hair, with a slight trembling.

Su Qianling looked at Zhiyan's expression through the bronze mirror, a trace of deep meaning flashed on the calm ground, thought for a moment, and opened her lips lightly: "Grandmother was frightened last night, I, as a granddaughter, naturally have to go and see, what are you afraid of in broad daylight?" ”

Zhiyan was stunned in his hand, thinking that Su Qianling's words were right, even if there were ghosts, they would not come out during the day, and finally sighed, curled up the braided hair in his hand, and combed it in a simple bun.

When she arrived at Huarongju, Mrs. Su had already brought someone to the old lady, this time, even if she was afraid, the second aunt, the third aunt, and the fourth aunt couldn't shirk it, and they all came to comfort the old lady.

"Ling'er, why are you here?" When Mrs. Su saw Su Qianling come in, she was taken aback at first, and her face couldn't help but show a little nervousness.

It is said that the woman is yin, she was haunted last night, and several girls in the house avoided it, why did this child still cover his head and hit it here!

Seeing the worry in Mrs. Su's eyes, the corners of Su Qianling's lips were raised, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she comforted: "I have a tourmaline from my father, this is to ward off evil spirits, don't be afraid!" ”

Mrs. Su sighed secretly, thinking that now there is only one concubine in the family, Su Qianling, in addition to Su Qianying, who is sick in bed, she is the biggest, if she doesn't come, she can't be reasonable, so she won't say more.

Su Qianling greeted Mother Hua, her face was as normal as usual, and she entered the back room.

Liuli was waiting beside the old lady, her face was not very good-looking, and when she saw Su Qianling coming in, she was stunned, as if she had something to say, but she didn't dare to speak because she took care of the old lady.

"How is Grandmother feeling now?" Su Qianling naturally sat on the edge of the old lady's bed, looking at the old lady is pale, her face moved slightly, she turned her face and asked Dr. Liuli about the diagnosis and treatment, and did not mention a word about the haunted thing.

"Ling girl, let your mother invite a Taoist priest with high mana to come to the house to exorcise ghosts, that is really a ghost, I saw it with my own eyes!" The old lady finally had a little strength after drinking the decoction, and the hand holding Su Qianling was still a little trembling.

The old lady spoke with a little unhappiness, just now Mrs. Su came in and asked about the situation, but depending on what she meant, she still needs to investigate, what is there to investigate? It's a ghost, she saw it, and she saw it all in the glass and jade! You have to let the master exorcise the ghosts!

Su Qianling's face was stunned, and she looked at Liuli with a panicked face, presumably they were also scared, but she always felt that something was wrong, this haunting was not so simple.

Although she had doubts in her heart, Su Qianling didn't say much, she hadn't found any clues yet, and it would be useless to say more now.

Listening to Liuli's report, Su Qianling nodded slightly, and was talking, Hua Rongju's little girl trotted all the way into the yard, and when she got to Mother Hua, she didn't even have time to breathe: "Hua, Mother Hua, there is a Taoist priest in coarse cloth clothes outside, saying that the black clouds in our house are overwhelming, and we must come in!" ”

The voice of the little maid was very loud, and the people in the whole yard heard it, Mrs. Su was stunned, a little more cold, and was about to open her mouth to reprimand the little maid for not understanding the rules, but she heard the old lady's voice coming from the back room.

"Quick, hurry up and invite the master in!" The old lady's voice was a little hurried, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, and she was about to get up and walk out as she spoke.

Su Qianling was startled, and hurriedly supported the old lady, and Liuli Liuyu also hurriedly came over to persuade her, so that she did not go out.

Looking at the old lady like this, Su Qianling couldn't help but feel cold in her heart, this Taoist priest is unpredictable? Why did he appear at the door of the Su Mansion in such a timely manner?
