In the dark night, a heart-rending shout came from the Shen family's mansion.

"Ahh......h

"What, haunted again......"

"Do you hear me, get up quickly......"

For a while, countless people in the house were alarmed, and the lights in each small courtyard were lit up one by one.

The lights in Old Madam Shen's house were also lit. An old voice rang out. "Red embroidery, what's going on with the noisy outside." Red embroidery is struggling with how to answer.

At this time, a person came in, and Hongxiu saw that it was Mama Tian, and she was relieved. "Old lady, why are you up?" Mama Tian saw that the old lady had already sat up, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up a cushion and put it behind the old lady.

"It's so noisy outside, where can I sleep, let's say, what's wrong."

When Mama Tian saw the old lady's attitude, she knew that she couldn't hide it, so she had to speak: "It's haunted again." ”

"Alas, the eldest and second have also been woken up, let them come to see me." Hongxiu heard that she hurriedly went out and ordered the other maids to call someone.

Then he came back and dressed the old lady with Mama Tian.

As soon as the two dressed the old lady, the eldest girl Dewdrop came in, saying that the uncle and the second master had arrived.

"Let them in." The old lady was dressed and sat on the couch.

As soon as the words fell, the dew dropped opened the curtain, and the eldest and second masters rushed in.

As soon as the people came in, they first stepped forward to greet the old lady.

"The mother was disturbed in the middle of the night, and it was the son's." The eldest lord Shen Botao was the first to speak. Several people behind him also echoed one by one.

The old lady waved her hand. "Get up, it's not your fault, what's going on this time?"

Hearing this, the kneeling people all got up, and the maid had already moved over the stool, and several people sat down in turn.

Shen Botao looked at his wife, and Cheng Shi saw her husband's signal, and after thinking about it, he began to answer: "It was a rough maid in the courtyard of the third lady, who said that she had a stomach trouble at night, and came out to look for medicine, and saw a ghost that looked like a child floating in front of her, so she screamed in fright. “

Hearing that it was the third lady's courtyard, the second wife Feng, who was sitting on the side like a shadow, suddenly raised her head.

Ghost? The old lady was speechless for a long time, she believed in Buddhism, and she also believed in ghosts and gods. It's just that cause and effect have always followed. Because of the old lady, there is no one in the family who takes concubines from top to bottom, and their sons and daughters-in-law are also filial and harmonious. Compared with other families, there are a lot less selfish things.

So why are there ghosts?

I couldn't figure it out, so I looked up and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Shen Zhongtao was secretly pondering, and when he saw his mother asking, he no longer hesitated, and said what he thought in his heart. "My son thinks it's better to ask Master Yuantong of Puji Temple to take a look, if it's once or twice, it can be said to be a coincidence, but this month is the third time it's haunted, there must be a reason, Master Yuantong's Buddhism is profound, I think I can find out the reason."

Shen Botao nodded approvingly, and echoed: "The second brother is reasonable, mother, just ask Master Yuantong to take a look, otherwise the family will always be panicked." ”

The old lady was old, and she was troubled in the middle of the night, and after saying this, she was tired of talking, and thinking that there was really no other way but her son's idea, she agreed.

"The eldest and second are going to court tomorrow, so go back to sleep quickly. The eldest daughter-in-law remembers to go to Puji Temple tomorrow to invite the master, you can step down. ”

Several people also saw that the old lady was not in good spirits, so they hurriedly retired.

Coming out of the old lady's house, the eldest lord and the lady had already accelerated away. The second master and the second wife walked on the way back, and after listening to the words of the sister-in-law, the second wife was uneasy.

Shen Zhongtao saw that his wife's face was not good, and asked with concern: "Nian Ge, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" "Nian Ge is the second wife's maiden name, and only her close friends and husband will call it that.

The second lady came back to her senses when she was called, she looked at the direction of the third lady's yard, and whispered: "Master, I'm worried about Biyan and want to go and see her." ”

Speaking of this daughter, Shen Zhongtao sighed, "Then let's go, I'll go with you to see her." ”

As they spoke, the two walked towards the courtyard where their daughter lived.

Lan Yu, the maid who followed behind her, couldn't help but think of this master who was rarely mentioned.

The third lady is the second child of the second wife, and she was born a fool and couldn't speak.

Fortunately, the Shen family is benevolent and kind, and will not drown the stupid child who was born like other families, and like other young ladies, they are assigned a maid to serve them, but the place where they live is a little biased, and usually the Shen family rarely mentions this third young lady, and they are gradually forgotten. Only the second wife will go to see the last one from time to time.

Walking to the courtyard of the third lady, Lan Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A mother-in-law's voice came from inside the door, "Who?" ”

Lan Yu replied: "It was the second master and the second wife who came to see the third lady." ”

Hearing Lan Yu's words, the mother-in-law inside hurriedly opened the courtyard door.

The group walked in and walked towards the house where the third lady lived. A maid with delicate facial features walked over, and the maid saw that the visitor was busy saluting. "Bai Zi has seen the lord and the lady."

"Get up, lead the way." The second old man spoke.

When Bai Zi heard this, he got up and walked in front with his head down.

I didn't go far, and I arrived at the house where the third lady Shen Biyan lived, perhaps because of the night, the yard was very quiet.

Bai Zi took the second old man and his wife in, the young lady was older, and she was sleeping on the couch at this time, after the second master went in, he found a place to sit down, the second wife walked to the couch with the maid, looking at the innocent sleeping face on the couch, the tears of the second wife couldn't help falling, but she was afraid of waking up the sleeping person, so she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and didn't make a sound.

Seeing this scene, the maid Lan Yu behind her sighed silently, every time Mrs. came to see Miss San, she had to cry like this, she was used to it, but Miss San was really pitiful, it seemed that a girl with a smart water, and a family background like the Shen family, was a fool, it was really a pity.

After a long time, the second wife stopped crying, wiped her tears, and asked Bai Zi on the side, "Biyan is still the same?" ”

"Yes, the third lady just sits there every day and doesn't say a word."

Hearing Bai Zi's words, the second wife's eyes dimmed a little.

"All the prescribed medicines were taken on time?"

"Eat them all."

"Take good care of Miss Three."

"Yes, the slave knows."

After speaking, the second wife glanced at the sleeping person on the bed again, and left with the maid in frustration.

Bai Zi checked the window, tucked the corner of the quilt for the third lady, saw that there was nothing wrong, yawned, closed the door and went to sleep.

Finally, there was no one left, and the man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

"Xiaoyi, come out."

As soon as the words fell, a small figure appeared in front of the couch out of thin air.

The soft children's voice sounded, "Mother." ”
