"Xianggong, you're here." Su Wanmiao raised her eyes to see him, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Although the two do not have a substantial husband and wife life, at least in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two parties is still very harmonious, otherwise people would not respect him so much. In any case, since he is already the son-in-law of the Su family, he should have this status.

It's just that he can feel that Su Wanmiao's smile on him is more similar to a polite response, like a habitual mask, which will not give people embarrassment and dissatisfaction, but also does not give people a chance to get close.

"Well, the lady has worked hard."

Du Bai nodded and replied politely.

It sounds a little rusty and not like a husband and wife, but it is indeed a normal manifestation of the relationship between the two.

"I've already heard from Granny Qian about the previous things." Su Wan Miao's fingers lightly pressed her temples, and she knew that there would be a lot of troubles outside the world that would cause her a headache, but when she got home, such a disaster happened again, which really made her uneasy.

"This is because she usually doesn't discipline the girls under her strictly, which makes them heretical......"

But she didn't say exactly what this heresy was. Du Bai wanted to ask, but he heard the mother-in-law Qian on the side suddenly fall to the ground, crying with tears and snot: "Miss, it was the mother-in-law who didn't take care of these dead girls, so that Na Lier listened to the nonsense of outsiders......"

"Oh, outsiders ......" Du Bai thought thoughtfully, but didn't say anything.

He also learned in the afternoon that there were three wealthy merchants in Yuanyang City, and the Su family was only one of them. Although they are harmonious on the surface, it is unknown what they are secretly, but the exchange of interests will not be harmonious.

It is said that the death of the old man of the Su family a few years ago may be mixed with some unknown secrets.

"This is to make the Su family desperate!" Du Bai's heart sank.

"I see!" Su Wanmiao seemed to be a little angry, and raised her voice slightly, but then slowly breathed as if she was trying to calm down, and turned to look at him and comforted, "Xianggong don't worry, the two maids you used to have changed before, whether you know it or not, I will send a trustworthy girl by my side to serve you for a while, if there is anything wrong, you can tell me directly." ”

"As for this matter, I will seek justice."

Du Bai should be down.

He now has no better solution under the fence, so he can only be secretly careful not to be like his predecessor. As for what the other party said about seeking justice...... If there is really a way, then none of the scurrying bandits who killed and oversold the Su family master back then have been arrested.

"That Lil......"

Su Wanmiao thought about it and said, to consider a way to relieve Du Bai's anger and not get into a lawsuit and be caught, suddenly a maid hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words in her ear, but saw Su Wanmiao's face change slightly.

"Dead?!"

"How did you die?"

Li'er, who had been locked up in the firewood room since she turned herself in, has died.

And it doesn't seem to be the so-called suicide of fear of sin, but a more bizarre way of dying.

She strangled herself to death.

It is said that when she was carried out of the firewood room at night, Na Li'er's face was blue and purple, her eyes were still staring at the front and could not close, and her two palms were like iron pincers around her neck, and she never let go even if she died.

Several of the guys who were working on the side were frightened, and then some strange rumors began to spread in the house, saying that the dead man's firewood room would come from a woman's cry in the middle of the night, and if anyone did not believe in evil and went to look, they would unfortunately see a transparent ghost looming in the wall.

The two able-bodied housekeepers were already frightened and bedridden.

Of course, these were all learned by Du Bai from a few maids' broken mouths two days later.

In the meantime, some officials came to see him, and after being served with good food and drink, he took the reward and strode away. Su Wanmiao didn't care about these rumors, she just ordered to go down and let the mothers-in-law take care of the girls under her hands, and if anyone dared to talk nonsense and disturb the peace of the house, the family rules would severely punish them.

Du Bai still maintains a wait-and-see attitude towards these.

With the body of another ghost king, of course he knew that there were ghosts in this world. But now that he is only a mortal, he has no way of knowing whether the haunting in the Su Mansion is really a ghost or someone is secretly doing the trick.

Anyway, he learned that at noon on the fourth day, the firewood room was finally under the personal auspices of Su Wanmiao, and several bold family members lit a fire together.

Maybe it's because even a few old people who have been working at home for decades have seen something unlucky, which makes her have to pay attention to it.

The fire was quite big, all the firewood and straw hoarded in it were burned empty, and the smoke was billowing out, and even Du Bai, who was not close, could see the thick smoke in the window of his room.

"Ahem......" Smelling the smell of smoke, Du Bai just coughed twice, and the little maid on the side hurriedly took two steps forward and closed the window.

"Uncle, be careful, this haunted house is unlucky to even smoke." The little girl is not very old, and her superstitious thoughts are set in a set, and she looks at it with care.

She is a personal maid sent by Su Wanmiao to take care of his daily life, called Ying'er. At the age of fourteen, she still has a round baby face, not fat, or rather round and cute, with big watery eyes full of innocence.

I heard that she was sold into the house by her father at the age of six in order to support her younger brother, and she was lucky to grow up with the eldest lady, so she didn't suffer much, and she was a cute little girl.

He didn't know if the smoke was auspicious, but his throat was going to be uncomfortable before the smoke cleared.

And the so-called clues before were indeed gone, Su Wanmiao went out early and returned late every day, and he didn't even have the time to say a word, so he didn't ask anything more.

But Ying'er's little girl has been by his side for the past two days, chattering, and helping him trim his clothes, she is still quite good at female red embroidery, and she has to help him trim a set of good-looking new clothes when she has time, saying that it was ordered by the young lady.

The reason is that after some time, Wanmiao is free, and she will go to the old mansion to visit Old Man Su.

The Su family's old house is in a remote place called Yongxu Village outside the city, and it was from there that the Su family made their fortune decades ago, and they moved to Yuanyang City for convenient transportation. In recent years, Old Man Su has suffered several big blows in a row, especially after the tragic death of his only son, he has little interest, and he brought some domestic servants and the second lady who has not yet met back to the old mansion to recuperate, and most of the business was handed over to Su Wanmiao and a few trusted shopkeepers cultivated by his subordinates.

A few days ago, there was news from the old house, saying that Old Man Su had a serious illness, although he had recovered a lot after taking the medicine, Su Wanmiao still couldn't rest assured, and wanted to finish the matter at hand quickly to visit.

This time Du Bai, as the new aunt, naturally wants to go, and to a certain extent, this is the second time he has met the old man.
