Chapter 137: The sound of the piano in the middle of the night
In Tong's house, Mrs. Tong was sitting under Mrs. Tong and wiping her tears, and the other two daughters-in-law of the Tong family were sitting on the side nervously, not having the courage to cry.
The old lady listened to the ins and outs, and put the cup down, and everyone's hearts jumped. When Mrs. Tong saw that the old lady's face sank, she immediately stopped crying and looked over in disbelief.
The old lady said coldly: "When did I let you provoke that girl in King An's Mansion, you dared to cry in front of me after losing face for your own initiative!" ”
The old lady rarely spoke so sharply in front of people, and the other two ladies were suddenly frightened and lowered their heads and silenced. Mrs. Tong San was also the most in awe of her mother-in-law, and she didn't dare to fight back, but she was aggrieved in her heart.
Old Madam Tong saw her thoughts at a glance, and said in a soft tone: "You also know about the people of the palace being sent back a few days ago, so you can see that that girl is not easy to handle." Is it not a shame for you to be so reckless and cause people to seize the handle? ”
Mrs. Tong was still unconvinced, glanced at Mother Jiang, who was standing beside the old lady, and argued: "It's not that Zhu Yong's wreckage is useless, what kind of skills can he have when he comes out of a small family." ”
Old Madam Tong glanced at her, and the old god was saying: "A girl who you don't look down on from a small family, but now she can climb to the position of the princess, how can she be an ordinary person." ”
Mrs. Tong was completely speechless, and when she saw that Mrs. Tong closed her eyes, she obviously didn't want to care about this matter anymore, so she had to grit her teeth and retreat.
After everyone left, Mrs. Tong opened her eyes silently, thought quietly for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhu, that thing is useless, you go and let someone notify Miao Yu and ask her to give that girl some color to see, lest she really don't take the Tong family in her eyes." ”
Mother Jiang nodded silently, always with that honest appearance of few words.
In autumn, everyone said that spring was sleepy and autumn was lacking, and everyone slept a little dead at night, but in the second half of the night, everyone couldn't sleep steadily.
Just because there was a sound of the piano floating from nowhere in the night, which was sad and graceful. Vaguely from the garden, it is the place where Chunyi often went to hide and practice the piano before his death, and he came in the middle of the night, which made people smell creepy.
The sound of the piano sounded for three days in a row, and rumors were already boiling in the palace.
When it comes to the sound of the piano, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Chunyi.
I don't know who heard it from where, saying that Chunyi was not driven out, but died in the side courtyard of the palace, and the day when the piano suddenly sounded in the middle of the night was her first seventh.
If a person dies unjustly, the first seven will be terrified. As soon as the news spread, everyone was even more frightened.
Another brave do-good person went to the side courtyard to look around, and actually saw blood stains in an abandoned house, and immediately confirmed the rumors, and the people shivered.
Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, and vice versa.
Chunyi has been in the palace for two years, and there are few people in the palace who give her a good face, but there are a lot of people who are squeezing in the open and secret, and she is even more frightened at this time. For a time, paper money charms were prevalent in the house, and everyone was prepared with both hands.
The matter is so big, Linglong Xiaozhuli is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.
Especially Zhu Ling used to be in the same house with Chunyi, and the relationship between the two was not very good. It just so happened that Zhu Ling was inexplicably injured like this a few days ago, so naturally she added to the head, and for a while, the other girls didn't even dare to enter the house.
Zhu Ling naturally knows the ins and outs, but it is difficult to say. Shu Yue not only lives in this house, but also sleeps in the bed that Chunyi used to sleep in, scared and nightmares every night, and is a lot more honest during the day.
Su Xin told Bai Yanran about this, it was originally told as a joke, but she didn't want Bai Yanran to listen to it but thought for a moment, and asked: "The relics of Chunyi were all cleaned up by a few of you girls, what about the dulcimer?" ”
Su Xin replied: "Everyone is dead, and everything is naturally burned, although the qin is a good thing, but it is unlucky in the end, it is a pity." ”
Yan Ran looked at the little girl in surprise and asked, "Are you really not afraid at all?" ”
The little girl doesn't look very bold on weekdays, but today she is not taboo.
Su Xin pouted, "Chunyi was originally a fine work, and the young lady and the prince were merciful when they didn't kill her after learning about it." Even if she really has a grudge and wants to find someone, then she should go to the person who really killed her. ”
Bai Yanran agreed: "You are right, if it is really a wronged soul asking for her life, she should go to the life of the person who really killed her, how can there be a reason to play the piano at night." ”
She narrowed her eyes and said, "But since everyone heard the sound of the piano, it can't be that they all heard it wrong, it seems that someone really stroked the piano in the middle of the night." ”
The palace is so big, and Linglong Xiaozhu has never heard the sound of the piano here, so Su Xin is so unimpressed.
Hearing Bai Yanran say this at this moment, she also came back to her senses and said, "Miss means that someone did this on purpose, just to make people think that Chunyi's ghost was doing it?" "Search
The little girl wondered again, "But why did that man do this?" ”
Bai Yanran said: "Others don't know Chunyi's true identity, and all the rumors in the house are that I am jealous of her." Now that people have died unjustly, and their souls are haunted, am I not going to have a reputation for being ruthless? ”
Su Xin also understood, gritted his teeth and said: "This person's evil mind is so vicious, isn't it Zhu Yong's conspiracy again?" ”
Bai Yanran was sure: "No." Zhu Yong was quite cautious, he planted such a big heel, he wouldn't have made another move so soon, and he shouldn't have known about Chunyi's death.
This matter is strictly hidden, except that you don't even know about a few other girls who know, and those guards won't reveal it. So the only one who still knows about this is the real murderer. ”
This person's stay in the mansion is a hidden danger after all, but she has been hiding it very deeply, and she couldn't see it in her previous life after being in the mansion for three years. Bai Yanran was worried about how to find someone, and happened to send an opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole.
So only one day later, the sound of the piano sounded again in the middle of the night, stirring up many people who could not live in peace.
The girls' room was closer to the garden, and after a moment the sound of the piano, Qiao'er was awakened in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she saw Miao Yu sitting in a daze, her face pale and frightened, but she was also startled by the sound of the piano.
Although Qiao'er was also frightened, she still comforted her and said: "You didn't live in this room a few days ago, and you didn't hear it, but the sound of this piano has been playing for a few days, and it stopped for a day and started again." ”
Seeing that Miao Yu was silent, Qiao'er leaned closer and said: "They all said that Chunyi's unjust soul was causing trouble, and I don't know if it's true, but we didn't have a grudge with her before her death, so don't worry." Let's go to bed early, and I'll have to get up tomorrow to work. ”
As soon as she comforted Miao Yu, her face was even more ugly, although the person was lying down, she couldn't close her eyes. I just kept my eyes open until the sound of the piano disappeared, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A few days ago, she went to Zhu Yong's house to sleep, and before going to bed, she coaxed the old man to drink tea with spices, and the person slept like a dead pig, which made it convenient for her to go out in the middle of the night to do things.
For three days in a row, Miao Yu pretended to be a ghost and stroked the piano at night, spreading rumors during the day, and felt that the fire was almost over. But I don't want to hear the piano again one day and tonight, but I didn't do it, so what's going on?
Miao Yu tossed and turned all night without sleep, with all kinds of thoughts in his heart, but his face had to be watertight. She also suspected that this was the princess's plan, and she didn't dare to show her feet easily, but she always remembered Chunyi's death for no reason.
Chunyi was originally a person from Concubine Lan, and he had never seen his true face, so Miao Yuyuan didn't have to worry. But this thing that is not enough to succeed and more than to fail was exposed when she was drugged, and Miao Yu had to kill people.
Later, the old lady sent an order to ask her to give Bai Yanran some color to see. Miao Yu also happened to want to test whether Ji Lingyun knew something that he shouldn't know, so he used Chunyi's death to make a fuss, but he didn't want to have another twist and turn.
The annoying sound of the piano sounded for three days in a row, and I heard that the princess was also suffering from a cold, so she asked the doctor to come and prescribe the prescription. Everyone privately said that it was stained with the yin qi of the resentful ghost, and it seemed that it was indeed Chunyi's unjust soul who had returned.
Miao Yu went to see it when she was eating, and the stove was really decocting medicine for the princess, and she couldn't help but panic even more.
Although she was ordered to lurk in the palace, she had always done things steadily and cautiously, but it was the first time that she had blood on her hands. I thought that in order to prevent being bumped into, I was wearing Chunyi's old clothes at night for a few days, and I shuddered.
Not to mention that Miao Yu panicked, even Shu Yue, who had never seen Chunyi in her life, was frightened by nightmares.
She herself was born again, so she firmly believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, and she was born and slept in a place where people had died. Listening to the gossip of the girls and mothers-in-law during the day, it is inevitable to dream of a blue-faced and long-tongued female ghost coming to ask for her life at night.
Zhu Ling lived in the same room with her, and because of her injuries, she slept a lot during the day, and she couldn't sleep at night. Although Linglong Xiaozhu couldn't hear the sound of the piano, she wanted to be disturbed by Shu Yue's dreams every night, but when she listened to it, she felt that something was wrong.
The guards in the house don't know how to play the piano, and in the past three days and nights, Ji Lingyun personally went to "pretend to be a female ghost", but he never found anything, and when he went back at night, he feigned anger and said: "I don't think you want to catch a traitor, it's true to play tricks on me." ”
Bai Yanran also laughed and said: "Lord Mingjian, how dare you be a concubine." ”
The night in late autumn was really cold, Ji Lingyun simply held the person in his arms to keep warm, his hands were not honest, and his mouth was still teasing: "Do you still dare?" I even made up the story of being haunted by unjust souls, so I'll do it tonight......"
It was another toss in the middle of the night, and Bai Yanran naturally got up late. Su Xin went out to call people, but it was Zhu Ling who came in to wait for freshness, Bai Yanran looked her up and down, and said with relief: "Look, it's almost good, but the doctor said that you have to recuperate for a few days, and then go back to lie down." ”
Zhu Ling's movements in her hands were neat, and she said with a smile: "After lying down these days, you will be lazy to lie down again, and it is okay for slaves and maids to do some light work." ”
Bai Yanran saw that she was really fine, so she nodded. Zhu Ling seemed to have thought of something, frowning and stopping.
"Princess, there is something that the slave and maid feel strange, and I don't know whether to talk about it."
Seeing Bai Yanran's signal, she hesitated and said: "It's Shu Yue, she has been frightened by haunted things in the past few days, it's not a big deal, it's just that it's strange for me to hear her always say some amazing things......"
Bai Yanran listened to Zhu Ling's narration, and her eyes darkened.
