Chapter 216: Midnight Ghost Fire

He's not coming back?

Shunhua, who was thinly dressed, stood barefoot on the snow, shivering with cold, but his eyes stayed in the distance.

Waiting for the carriage to appear in the snow-white sky, after a while, there were a few strange sound of horses' hooves in my ears, and a carriage inlaid with gems arrived, and in the blink of an eye, it stopped in front of the gate of Yan's mansion.

Shunhua watched with anticipation as the silk cloth was lifted, waiting for the person in her heart to come back, how did she know that the first person to come out of the carriage was Fang Xiaoji, who was wearing a wedding dress, she held the red silk cloth in her hand, and got out of the carriage with Fu Mujian, the two of them smiled and respected each other, as if they were a couple.

"Husbandβ€”"

The surprised Shunhua pushed away Yan Shuangshuang's hand and rushed to the front of the carriage, suddenly his feet slipped, and the whole person fell to the snow, his whole face was wet and cold.

"Miss, be careful, your child is going to fall out."

"The kid fell out?"

Shunhua knelt on the ground, looked down, his flat abdomen suddenly swollen like a big watermelon, suddenly, there was a pain in his legs, his belly as big as a watermelon was gone, and a group of quacking ducklings came out of his feet.

She was blinded, and her mind was full of quack, quack, quack...

"Ah, I don't want a duck!"

The struggling hand stopped in mid-air, and Shunhua, who was covered with cold sweat, sat up from the bed, with an unwrung out handkerchief dripping on his forehead.

"What? What raw duck? Who gave birth to ducks? ”

Yan Shuangshuang, who was dozing off on the edge of the bed, was suddenly awakened by fright.

Quack quack quack...

The sound of the ducks was still echoing in the room, and Shunhua, who was blank-minded, looked at the yellow-haired ducklings walking all over the ground, a little blind.

"Good frost, why, there are ducks in Miss Ben's room?"

"Ah, maybe the duckling was too naughty and ran out of the cage on its own."

Obviously, she didn't put the cage away yesterday, but Yan Shuangshuang still didn't blush and put the blame on the duck without a beat.

"By the way, what about my child?" Shunhua asked anxiously.

"Miss, are you pregnant? Didn't the doctor say anything? Frost shook her head.

"Am I not pregnant?" She said with red eyes and a stunned voice.

"Oh no, Miss must have a fever and burned out her brain, so Frost has to hurry up and call the doctor."

Shunhua grabbed Yan Shuangshuang's wrist with one hand and stopped her.

"What do you mean I have a fever?"

"Miss Hui, my uncle just left for Minghua this morning, and he had a high fever after you sent him back, Steward Gu invited a doctor to come to see you, and told Shuangshuang to guard you until your fever subsides."

"Do I have a fever?"

Shunhua raised his palm against his forehead, only to find that his forehead was as hot as his palm.

"Miss, don't be scared of Frost, you won't forget things again."

Looking at the anxious frost on her face, she remembered the farewell to Fu Mujian this morning, and realized that everything she saw just now was all a dream.

"Isn't the princess ready to come and kiss?"

"Miss, it seems that you are really confused, Minghua and Wan Qiong don't know if they want to fight, how can the princess come to make peace?"

"Sure enough, it's a day to think about, and a night to dream."

Therefore, in her dream, she shivered with cold when she stepped barefoot on the snow, because the frost had torn her quilt to the ground, and the windows were not closed, so that she was blowing the cold wind and thinly dressed, and slept on the bed.

She fell to the snow, soaking wet, because the stupid girl had put an unwrung wet handkerchief on her forehead, and the water was dripping down her face.

As for the leg pain, it's because...

"Okay, you, Yan Shuangshuang, actually dare to bite my leg..."

Shunhua, who had tears in the corners of his eyes, looked at the tooth marks on his calf with pity, which were so red that they were about to ooze blood.

This little girl is so scary, why does she sleep and bite someone?

It's because Yan Fu didn't have enough food for her, and she was hungry, wasn't it?

"I'm sorry, Miss, actually... Frost took care of you all night, and you haven't even eaten dinner yet, and you saw a braised duck leg in a dream, and she couldn't hold back for a while, so she took a bite. ”

"It's good that you just took a bite, otherwise would Miss Ben still have her leg left? Silly girl, go to the kitchen and cook some food, and remember to catch these ducks back to their cages one by one. ”

"Quack, quack, quack...", the sound of ducks in the room was still heard.

Shun Huasheng held his ears unlovingly, for fear that if he listened to it any longer, his illness would become more serious.

"Frost will go right away."

As soon as Yan Shuangshuang stepped out of the room, she found a fire in the courtyard in front of her, turned back in panic, and shouted, "What should I do?" Miss, there's a ghost fire. ”

"Ghost fire? Silly girl, there are no gods and ghosts in this world, only people can make ghosts. She put on a garment for herself, took the hairpin, and went out.

The cold wind outside was biting, and Shunhua, who was dizzy and sick, watched in surprise as someone came over with a torch.

Her fingers trembled, and she subconsciously protected the frost behind her, and just wanted to open her mouth to call Steward Gu, but how did she know that he had already arrived at the door.

"Miss Hui, Lord Chen from the Criminal Department rushed in with a large number of officers and soldiers, saying that he had received a secret report that our Yan Mansion had hidden the things of murderers and deceased, and was holding torches and searching everywhere."

"We have a murderer in the Yan Mansion?"

Yan Shunhua was a little blindsided, but at the moment, she had a headache and couldn't think of anything.

Murderers and dead things ...

How could it be here?

"Come, Shuangshuang, help me, let's follow and see what they want to find in my Yan family." Shunhua, who was pale, said weakly.

"But your body..."

Frost looked at her face, as white as a bamboo shoot, as if the north wind was blowing, and her waist was about to be broken.

"Shuangshuang, you just listen to Miss, take her there, the old man left the doctor, he can just give Miss another look."

The little girl nodded, and helped Shunhua to go.

As soon as they came to Chen You and Ning Xiaoxiao, a tall catcher found out.

"Big brother, I found it, is this brocade box what you are looking for?"

Ning Cute held the brocade box high, her face full of excitement.

"That's right, red silk brocade, black border, this brocade box." Tatsumi said in surprise.

But soon, he put away the smile on his lips again.

If the deceased's things can be found in Yan's house, what Mexin said is very likely to be true.

Yan Shunhua is the real murderer of the Jade Mother.

"Well done, worthy of my sister, open it." Ning Xiaoxiao's mood was a little excited.

"Don't."

A female voice cried out excitedly.

Everyone was stunned, looking at Yan Shuangshuang behind Shunhua, her expression was very flustered, and it looked wrong.

The atmosphere suddenly became eeriely silent.

Chen You walked over slowly, looked at Yan Shuangshuang with sharp eyes, and asked in a deep voice:

"Why don't you open it, could it be that the contents of this box have something to do with you?"

β€œ...”

Yan Shuangshuang was a little frightened by Chen You, and hurriedly hid behind Shunhua, not daring to look at him.

"Is it okay with her, we will know when we try it again, open the brocade box first, and see what clues there are inside."

Ning Xiaoxiao opened the brocade box, and everyone was stunned, it was actually empty.

Chen You was suddenly relieved, and he raised his voice and asked, "What about the things inside?" ”

"There's nothing in there, right, miss." The quick-thinking Steward Gu replied.

In an instant, Shunhua remembered the set of orange-red clothes and used jewelry, and thought of the rumor that the jade mother met the flower thief, and thought to herself, it must be the murderer who deliberately sent things over, thinking about planting the blame, but who is that person?

"This brocade box was delivered to my house, but Miss Ben has been busy lately and has not had time to open it, should there be anything inside? My lord. ”

The pale Shunhua couldn't help coughing.

"Ahem, cough, cough..."

"Miss Yan, are you okay?"

Ning Cute looked at Chen You in surprise, feeling that he seemed to care about this eldest lady of the Yan family.

"It's okay, it's just an occasional chill."

"It's okay, you guys have a big night. Bring someone to search for things without asking, my young lady still has a high fever, if she dies, Frost will fight with you. Yan Shuangshuang was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"This official doesn't mean this, if this brocade box doesn't matter to Miss Yan, can you lend it to Zai Xia and bring it back to the yamen, investigate it carefully, and see if it has anything to do with the murder of the jade mother?"

"Please, but my lord has no other instructions, can I let Miss Ben go back to the room to rest first, cough cough..."

The pale lips seemed to cough up blood, and she suddenly dizzy, her legs and feet went limp, and she fainted on Frost.

"Missβ€”"

"Let Ben Catch carry her quickly, where is the room where she is resting?" Ning said with a high spirit.

"Won't it be inconvenient for you, after all, there are differences between men and women, so let Frost carry it." Steward Gu frowned and said.

As soon as the words fell, someone's eldest brother couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Big brother, what are you laughing at?" Ning Kawaie, who gritted her teeth, turned her head and said patiently: "Don't be afraid, this is a girl, she has a lot of strength, I'll carry it." ”

After that, the tall Ning Lovely easily picked up Shunhua and walked behind the frost who led the way.

Tatsuyou's eyes were full of worry, and suddenly, his shoulders were heavy, and someone pressed his elbow down.

"Don't look at it, it's married, it's not yours to look at it again, Lord Ben advises you, or consider the cuteness of my family, maybe you will find that you are not afraid of death, hahahaha..."

Tatsumi glanced at someone speechlessly and sighed deeply.

"The best catcher in the history of your family, this official can't stand it, go back quickly, it's almost dawn."

"Tsk, are you defending so tightly? One day, Ben-sama will trick you into becoming Ben-sama's brother-in-law. Ning Xiaoxiao made up her mind in her heart.

After Ning Cute said goodbye, Shunhua on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, turned her head, and looked at Yan Shuangshuang, who was weak-hearted.

"Frost, tell me honestly, where did the contents of the brocade box go?"

"Miss, didn't you say before that you couldn't use anything, and that that set of clothes could be disposed of by Frost Frost herself."

"And what did you do with it?" She asked feebly.

"Frosty thought about doing something good and giving the clothes to the aunt who sold stinky tofu on the three streets next door, but before giving it away, she had to wash it, so Frosty took the brocade box to the river, thinking that when she rinsed it, the clothes were accompanied by jewelry... They all rushed into the river. Yan Shuangshuang scratched her nose, a little distressed.

"So, the brocade box is empty?" Shun Hua was surprised.

Frost nodded.

"Later, Frost put the brocade box back in its place, I thought no one would find out, how did I know that those officials were so smart, and knew that Frost had done something wrong, so they came to catch Frost."

"Silly girl, they're not here to get you."

"So what are they here for, so many people rushing in just to pick up a box and go back?"

"They probably got the news from somewhere, knew that something was with me, and wanted to arrest it... Ahem..."

Shunhua, who was already sick with a headache and a swollen brain, just blew a cold wind again, and his condition suddenly worsened a lot, and the whole person fainted.

"Miss, how are you, Miss?"

Yan Shuangshuang called her a lot of worriedly, but she still didn't respond.

"Yes, go to Steward Gu, he will have a way."

That day, Shunhua, who fell asleep again, had a nightmare, she saw her father in the dream, and also saw the person she had always wanted to see, but she couldn't see it, the woman looked at her indifferently, and then turned around and walked into the darkness.
