==Chapter 17==

"Ahh

In the middle of the night, a scream suddenly sounded, waking everyone who was asleep with a stir.

Da Nan has always felt shallow, and opened his eyes at the first time.

Lotus Zhi was on the floor next to the big man's bed, and when he heard the movement, he got up, went to light the lamp, and looked at the big man who had already sat up with suspicious eyes.

The movement outside was getting louder and louder, with screams and cries, faintly mixed with the cries of 'ghost, ghost'.

After a while, I heard a sound of footsteps, and everyone's doors were knocked one by one, and some servants said that they were on the orders of the servant Mrs. He, and came to ask what had happened. It was only then that the people who heard the movement but did not dare to explore it went out one after another and went to the place where the crowd gathered.

The person who had the accident was a little lady in the fourth room, named Xiao Han, who was only ten years old this year. At this time, she was so frightened that she was trembling and sitting on the couch with the quilt, her hair was scattered, her eyes were straight, her face was pale, she couldn't even speak, and she was frightened at first glance.

And her personal maid Yan'er is not much better than her, and she also looks frightened. It's just that she is older than her after all, and she can still keep calm and shake her throat to tell Aunt He with a calm face.

It turned out that in the dead of night, the master and servant had already rested, but they were suddenly awakened by a gust of cold wind. The layout of the rooms in this cold rain pavilion is very different, each person's residence is a room, the outside is used for daily hospitality, and there are things such as couch screens and bathing utensils inside, separated by a screen and a layer of gauze curtains. Therefore, the personal maid is generally laid on the floor next to the master's couch.

Yan'er was woken up first, and when she woke up, she found that the window of the bedroom was blown open by the wind, so she fumbled up to close the window, during which Xiao Han was also woken up, and asked Yan'er what was going on. Because the moonlight was just right, Yan'er didn't light the lamp, got up to close the window, and just before she got close to the window sash, a white shadow suddenly appeared outside the window.

Yan'er was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

Xiao Han heard the movement and looked over, and also saw the white shadow. I saw that the white shadow was dressed in white, with black hair scattered on his face, and a faint cry of resentment came out of his mouth......

The master and servant were directly frightened stupid, and they let out a scream at that time, and then everyone heard the movement one after another......

After listening to Yan'er's stumbling narration, everyone couldn't help but shiver, and a chill rushed up to the soles of their feet and spread to their entire bodies.

Xiao Han on the couch still looked frightened, not far from the couch was the window, at this time the window was wide open, the faint moonlight sprinkled in from the window, there were leafy trees outside the window, exuding a dark green almost black color in the moonlight. At first glance, the moonlight is very beautiful, but when it comes to the previous incident, people can't help but feel their scalps tingle, and even looking at the tree makes people feel a little ghostly. A cold wind blew in from the window, which made people even more frightened.

Some of the timid were already frightened to tears, while others were white-faced and asked questions that they might have misunderstood.

For a moment, the whole room was filled with a tense and low atmosphere.

Aunt He frowned tightly, and her emaciated long face was full of solemnity.

This series of events really gave her a headache. Without definite evidence, there is no way to catch the evildoer, not to mention that Aunt He also knows in her heart that these things are not done by one person at all, as for why this is so, the answer is very obvious.

She also reported these things, but the above reaction was not obvious, and it seemed that there was a sense of resignation. Aunt He didn't dare to think deeply about it, so she could only carefully grasp the balance, and now such an incident has happened......

I saw that the little ladies around were all frightened and turned pale, and some people were crying quietly. Aunt He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed at her negligence, this kind of thing should have ordered everyone to stay in the room. But the incident happened suddenly, and it was not considered so thoroughly for a while.

"Alright, you all go back and rest, it's not too early at night."

Aunt He said this, it is clear that she doesn't want everyone to be around here, especially this kind of ghostly thing, it is unclear, whether it is really haunted or not, no one knows.

Da Nan, who was standing at the back of the crowd, looked around at the faces of everyone present. Judging from the surface, she couldn't tell who did it at all, she tightened the clothes on her body tastelessly, turned her head and left with the lotus branch.

When I arrived at the door of my house and was about to go in, it happened that Xiao Nan took her maid back to the room. Da Nan didn't look at her, Xiao Nan clenched her hands with complicated eyes, lowered her head, and hurried into the room next to her.

"Haunted?"

Duchess An Guo put down the tea cup in her hand and frowned.

Aunt Hu nodded and said, "Aunt He has already inquired, and the little lady in the fourth room and her personal maid saw it with their own eyes. The two of them are in agreement, and it seems that they are not dazzled. ”

The corners of Duchess Anguo's lips outlined a sneering arc: "Now these juniors are becoming more and more disagreeable, and they dare to make trouble about this kind of thing." ”

"But that's not the case, Aunt He ordered people to look around, but they didn't find any clues, and when they saw that the matter was not small, they reported it. What do you think, ma'am? ”

"My Xiao family is a dignified family, and if there are some trivial things on weekdays, I don't know about it, the daughter of the Xiao family doesn't need to be naïve, it can be regarded as a test and tempering. But this glamorous thing has always been a taboo, these juniors are really bold, if this matter goes out, others will still be how to be dirty in my Xiao family. Duchess An Guo pondered for a moment, and then said: "You order to go down, let the He family secretly investigate, and guard the gate of Jingyuan, and strictly order the entry and exit of Jingyuan from now on, and don't reveal any news." ”

"Yes."

*

In the afternoon of the next day, Aunt He rarely gathered everyone.

No need to ask, naturally it is for what happened last night.

Aunt He completely changed her appearance, her expression was very relaxed, and she told everyone that last night's incident was just a dazzle between Yan'er and Xiao Han, and there was no ghost in white. She had already checked, and not far from the window of Xiao Han's room, she found a white obscene clothes, maybe the clothes that were dried by someone were blown away by the wind, which caused such a misunderstanding.

Some people believe it and can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Some people didn't believe it, not to mention how the clothes that were dried by the next person were blown away by the wind, and it was so coincidental that Xiao Han's master and servant could see it.

Rather than believing that this was a coincidence, Da Nan would rather believe that someone was 'doing a ghost'. In the back house, this kind of selfish means have always emerged in an endless stream, and Da Nan has not encountered this kind of thing, and his natural vision is different from others.

It's just that this qiē has nothing to do with her, it is obvious that Aunt He is appeasing everyone, and Da Nan naturally won't interfere more.

The frightened Xiao Han and the maidservant Yan'er also seemed to believe this statement, and the people gradually eased up, as if they were really dazzled and misunderstood, and Jingyuan returned to calm after the turmoil of that night.

……

As the days passed, everything was calm and nothing happened.

Just when everyone finally forgot that incident, the events of that day reappeared.

Still going to Xiao Han, this time she and her maid Yan'er were directly scared stupid, crying all night, and the next day they stopped and looked demented, Aunt He had no choice but to hurriedly send the two out of Jingyuan.

Because of this incident, the atmosphere in the entire Jingyuan became tense again.

Maybe it's a mistake once, but it's also twice? Although everyone was strictly forbidden to leave the room this time, the screams and screams were still heard by many people. No one could close their eyes overnight, and the next day, Xiao Han, who looked stupid, was sent away, and everyone understood what was going on.

Tension and fear are gathering.

Although Aunt He was still trying her best to appease everyone, no one believed what she said. Everyone didn't dare to turn off the lights anymore when they rested at night, and every room was brightly lit all night.

*

In one of the rooms of Hanyu Xuan, Xiao Rong smashed a white coat in her hand on Xiao Xue's face.

At this time, her willow eyebrows were upside down, her face was full of anger, and she looked like she couldn't wait to eat Xiao Xue.

"I'll lend you the nails that I finally buried in, and let you deal with that wretched Xiao Han? How can I tell you, who our opponent is, you don't know? Now that the grass is startling the snake, Aunt He is very well prepared, I think what to do next? ”

Xiao Xue tightened her fist under her sleeve and snorted, "Then Xiao Han is also a strong rival......

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Rong smashed the handkerchief in her hand again, "Rival? Xiao Xue, are you lying to me, or are you lying to yourself? Personal grudges are personal grudges, then Xiao Han is a mud like you who can't support the wall, even if he stays until the end, he is still a waste, I told you this for the first time. You don't want to be unable to support the wall with mud, so you see everyone as an opponent, those few have already been helped to deal with it, who are you going to deal with this time, I told you before, you take my words as a deaf ear? ”

Xiao Xue half-hung her little face, her eyes were red, she felt humiliated, but since she agreed to Xiao Rong's plan, she was destined to be inferior, so it was naturally difficult to refute.

In fact, looking at the current situation, she also regrets it a little.

It's just that she has a deep grudge with Xiao Han, and her mother was punished this time, so Xiao Han's mother has the role of her mother. As soon as she and Xiao Rong reached a cooperation, knowing such a plan, the first thing that flashed in her mind was Xiao Han. After that, he did deal with Xiao Han as he thought, but he didn't expect to get this field.

And Xiao Xue didn't think much of what Xiao Rong said, for Xiao Rong, Xiao Han was naturally not a threat, but not for her. She and Xiao Rong cooperated to eradicate their opponents, and the two had different thoughts and positions, so they naturally had differences.

In fact, Xiao Xue also knew that Xiao Rong was using her, but using this kind of thing was always corresponding. Xiao Rong is using her, she is not using Xiao Rong. Without Xiao Rong's strength, it would be difficult for her to move alone.

I understand the truth, but it's a little difficult to swallow the humiliation. However, Xiao Xue is not an ordinary person after all, and she suppressed all the abnormal feelings before softly begging Xiao Rong to forgive her. The words are quite frank, and they admit that they are indeed carried away by personal grievances.

Although Xiao Rong is arrogant, because she still wants to use Xiao Xue, it is not good for her to continue to attack. After a lot of dealings, the two of them also gave up their previous suspicions on the surface.

"Don't get the wrong person this time." Xiao Rong warned.

"Sister Rong, don't worry, this time it won't be, even for the dead ghost, I have already found it. Once this is over, no one can guess what we are going to do. ”

Of course, Xiao Rong understood what Xiao Xue meant, and nodded with satisfaction,

After some deliberation, Xiao Xue left as if nothing had happened.

After Xiao Xue left, a person came out from behind the screen, and it was Xiao Rong's sister Xiao Qian.

"If you want to take advantage of her, you shouldn't lose her face like this. She can endure it, and she can hold grudges, but she is afraid that she will ...... in the future."

Before Xiao Qian's words could be finished, she was interrupted by Xiao Rong.

"Alright, sister, I know what you mean. It's just that she's asserting that I'm angry with her, it's a warning. Besides, what if she can endure and hold grudges, and after this time, what qualifications does she have to talk to us, is it natural or attached to me to make knives/guns for me. ”

This sister has always been assertive, and she is more ruthless than herself, and Xiao Qian also knows it. On weekdays, A-Niang also attaches great importance to Xiao Rong, and this time she also told her to discuss with her sister more in case of trouble, and Xiao Qian did not question it much.

"Anyway, you pay more attention, don't underestimate her."

Xiao Rong nodded, but she didn't actually put this in her heart.
