As soon as he left, Ling Ruo immediately found Chen Shu and asked him if he had heard the whistle last night, Chen Shu shook his head blankly, saying that he had been outside all night and had not heard anything.

This was strange, Ling Ruo was very sure that he had heard it correctly, why didn't Chen Shu hear it? As for the water show, they went to bed early, and it was impossible to hear it.

Auditory hallucinations? No, Ling Ruo was the first to deny this possibility, she had heard it more than once last night, it was definitely not an auditory hallucination, what was the problem?

She sat in the chair, her fingers knocked on the armrest, puzzled, at this time, An'er said uncertainly: "When the slave maid woke up last night, she seemed to hear a sound in a daze, and the slave and maid were not sure if it was a whistle." ”

Chen Shu was already weak-hearted, and when he heard An'er say this again at this moment, he was afraid that Ling Ruo's suspicion would come to him, so he lied and said: "The slave's ears were in the water a few days ago, and occasionally there will be tinnitus, once the tinnitus starts, you can't hear anything, only the buzzing sound remains, and there were a few times last night, maybe when the master heard the whistle, it happened that the slave's ears were ringing, so I didn't hear it." ”

Ling Ruo glanced at him suspiciously, "Since you have such a disease, why don't you say it?" ”

Chen Shu pulled his ears and pretended to be calm: "It's not a serious illness, if it weren't for the master's repeated inquiries about this whistle, the slave himself would have forgotten about it." For fear that Ling Ruo would still hold on to this, he quickly changed the topic, "I don't know what the master is asking for this whistle?" ”

Ling Ruo stroked the Su Luo brocade clothes that were still on his body, and said in a condensed voice: "The iron snake appeared so strangely, and it was in groups, I suspect that someone was behind it. Other than that...... The words that Song said made people feel very bad. ”

"Does the master mean that she is ominous?" Seeing Ling Ruo nodding, Shui Xiu said with relief: "Why should the master take her words to heart, Song Fujin has never listened to what he says, and if he has heard it, forget it, if he goes back to think about it, won't it make him uncomfortable?" ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid ......" Ling Ruo was halfway through his words, someone knocked on the door outside, and Shui Yue came back and said, "Master, the prince asked the snake repeller invited by Zhou Yong to come, and asked the master if you want to see him?" "The clemat snake haunts Jingsiju, and this place has naturally become the first place to see.

"It's fine." Ling Ruo swallowed the words behind him, got up and asked Shui Xiu and them to change their clothes for themselves, they couldn't see outsiders in their bedclothes, Chen Shu had already known the opportunity to retreat.

After changing clothes and freshening up, Ling Ruo took Shui Xiu's hand and came to the outer hall, where a middle-aged man with a round face stood there, looking honest, standing in the middle at a loss, seeing Ling Ruo coming out and standing stupidly, until Zhou Yong reminded him in a whisper, he knelt down and kowtowed in a hurry, and said the words that Zhou Yong taught him just now, "Little Liu Fu asks Fu Jin for peace, Fu Jin is auspicious." ”

"Get up." After sitting down in the chair, Ling Ruo took a sip of the warm mare's milk pad, which was hungry from the night's trouble, "Will you drive snakes?" ”

Liu Fu hurriedly said: "Yes, the ancestor of the small one is to drive snakes, and it has been passed down to the small one for the fifth generation, and he is also famous in this industry." ”

Ling Ruo nodded, and after Liu Fu got up, he took out a lot of things from his body that others couldn't understand, some of which had a strong smell of medicine, and the most surprising thing was that he actually brought a bamboo leaf with him. Women have always been afraid of snakes, not to mention that it is still a highly poisonous snake, Shui Xiu and the others were so frightened that they lost their faces and screamed and retreated.

Seeing this, Liu Fu hurriedly said: "Girls, don't be afraid, Xiaoqing is what I raised since I was a child, and I am the most obedient, but I will never take the initiative to attack people without me." ”

"Even if that's the case, you shouldn't bring a poisonous snake in, the snake is impermanent, what if you hurt Fu Jin? Throw it out of the way. Despite his repeated assurances, Shui Xiu still didn't dare to reassure.

Liu Fu said with a bitter face: "Girl, this is not good, although I have a hand and skill in driving snakes, but the iron snake is hidden in the soil, and I can't see it with these eyes alone, I have to rely on Xiaoqing." ”

"Alright, Shui Xiu, let him do things." Ling Ruo raised his hand to stop Shui Xiu, who was still talking, and motioned for Liu Fu to start.

Liu Fu agreed, and drove the bamboo leaf green to carefully check the entire courtyard, and found that there was no trace of the wire snake in the courtyard, only a trace of fishy smell left in the air to prove that the wire snake had appeared.

After that, Zhou Yong took him to search the entire palace for most of the day, and he didn't find the snake, but found the skin of a wire snake shed in the flower garden.

Liu Fu left, but this matter became more and more strange in Ling Ruo's opinion, so many highly poisonous iron snakes appeared at once, but in only half a day, they disappeared without a trace, and none were left, plus the whistle she heard before, she always felt that this matter was not simple......

Facts have proved that Ling Ruo's worries are not superfluous, because only a few days later, a rumor spread in the mansion, saying that the fetus in Ling Ruo's womb is very ominous, and it has attracted a large group of poisonous snakes before it is born, and if this kind of child is born, it must be a demon.

As if to confirm this ominous rumor, Dai Jiashi sprained his foot during a walk and could not get off the ground for several days; Immediately after that, when a little girl was working in the kitchen, he was cut on the instep of his foot by a knife that fell from the stove for some reason, and there was another ......

In short, such things are endless, all of them are pointed at Ling Ruo and the child in her womb, although she didn't dare to speak out in front of her, but there were people behind her who constantly pointed at her backbone and scolded her for being a harmful spirit, and calling her child a demon; said that so many people have been harmed in the womb, if they are really born, I don't know what the entire Yongwang Mansion will become.

The backyard of the deep palace has always been a breeding ground for rumors, one rests and one blooms, and there will never be a time when it is truly clean and peaceful.

At this point, Ling Ruo had clearly guessed that the intention of the wire snakes that appeared in groups that night but did not attack was that someone wanted to use this to lead to ominous words and harm the child in her womb. Her intentions were more vicious than directly letting the Wire Snake attack her.

Guerjia and Wen Ruyan were both anxious about Ling Ruo, although Yinzhen trusted Ling Ruo at the moment, and even asked her to ignore these nonsense rumors. But the reason why rumors are so fierce is that the number of people who say them will increase until they are so large that one person will not believe in them before.

If the rumors are indulged, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be like Tong Jia's at the beginning, but the difference is that Tong Jia's is guilty and deserved, and Ling Ruo is innocent.

It's a pity that they are just Shu Fujin, they are soft-spoken, and they are not the most favored in Yinzhen, and their words are not of great use. The Nala clan didn't believe it at first, but later saw that there were frequent accidents in the house, and her heart was shaken, once, while Yinzhen was resting in Hanyuanju, she said to Yinzhen, whether to let Ling Ruo stay in the Jingsi Ju for the time being and not come out, so as not to make people panic in the house, not to mention that Lingxi will get married within a few days, in case there is some accident on the day of the wedding, wouldn't it be a loss of royal face.
