"Ma'am."

I don't know how long it took, and the maid called the peony back with a soft cry.

Looking at the overwhelming number of flower petals in the huge tub, the whole room was foggy because of the steam emitted by the hot water. The fragrance of the petals and essential oils gives a relaxing effect.

Peony gritted her teeth and soaked her entire body in the water, exposing only half of her head to the water.

The teeth seemed to collide up and down uncontrollably, making a "clicking" trembling sound, the warm water temperature was just right, but Peony felt as if a cold air was spreading from the soles of her feet to her whole body.

"Madame, the slave maid has gone and asked you what you are going to wear in a moment."

I don't know if I felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and as soon as the maid's voice fell, the whole person had already quickly drilled out of the screen.

Peony opened her mouth and called her a few times, and the room was empty, and no one responded.

What are you afraid of, people are not killed by her, what is she afraid of.

Exhaling, Peony comforted herself in her heart.

Anyway, it was the woman who died in Sango, if she hadn't secretly had a private meeting with a man, how could she end up like this?

"It just so happens that she is dead, and there will be one less person who will oppose me in the future!"

snorted coldly, and the moment this sentence came out, it seemed to invisibly embolden her.

Peony gradually relaxed, and her expression was no longer as flustered as Fang Cai.

The heat steamed on her cheeks, and she felt the reassurance that the hot water brought her.

And at this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew from nowhere, and the sound of "bang" was particularly abrupt in the silent room.

The psychological effect that the peony had just played only disappeared in an instant.

"Whew." Another cold wind blew, accompanied by the sound of something falling to the ground, clear and terrifying.

"Who? Who? ”

Peony panicked instantly, and she asked loudly with a frightened face, as if this would make her feel a little calmer.

The wind suddenly stopped, and silence returned to the room.

Peony didn't breathe a sigh of relief, the feeling of uneasiness seemed to spread in her heart little by little, and even she didn't know if it was the illusion that she was too nervous, but she felt that there was suddenly a hint of cold smell in the room.

She called out to her maidservant, wanting to prove her heart.

But for some reason, I shouted several times in a row, and there was silence outside the door, and the maid hadn't come back yet, so naturally I couldn't hear the call of the peony.

Swallowing his saliva, Peony could only keep comforting himself.

The hot water in the tub was no longer as warm as Fang Cai, but she didn't seem to feel it, and almost submerged her whole body in the water, leaving only a pair of big watery eyes looking around.

There was nothing unusual in the room, except that the hairpin on the dresser had fallen to the ground due to the strong wind, and Peony didn't even see a suspicious figure.

But for some reason, instead of alleviating the uneasiness, it swelled up.

The outside world had turned into pitch black, and Peony made sure that every window in the room was closed because of the bath, but just like that, a touch of inky deep black fell into her afterglow in an instant.

The window was only slightly open, revealing a knuckle-wide slit.

There was nothing to see outside, only the pitch darkness in the yard.

Peony swallowed, she didn't know why the window was open, and when the gap was exposed. Reed bamboo forest

And what she is most worried about at the moment is not that someone has spied on her.

I don't know if it's an illusion or an illusion caused by excessive tension, Peony only feels that the darkness seems to flow, little by little, it seems to be able to swallow the whole room.

"Ahh

Before the maid had entered the courtyard, she heard a hoarse shout, the owner of which was so familiar to her.

She hurriedly quickened her pace, ran all the way through the yard, and the moment she pushed the door open, she saw the naked peony falling to the ground, babbling and shouting something in her mouth, and the maid couldn't hear it clearly.

She only knew that the peony's appearance could not be seen.

"Madame!"

The maid closed the door very quickly, and she didn't care about the clothes in her hand, and hurriedly came to Peony's side, but saw that her face was pale, as if she had just experienced some fright.

"Madame, what's wrong with you?"

The moment the maid asked, Peony screamed, fell on top of her, and muttered: "Ghost, there is a ghost, the ghost is coming to me, ah!" ”

"What the hell?"

The maid was frightened by her words, but when she looked closely in the room, it was clear that there was nothing?

However, how to look at the appearance of the peony now, how wrong it is, the maid knew that it was useless to reason with her, so she hurriedly patted her back and comforted: "Madam, don't be afraid, the slave is here." ”

"The slave is here, don't worry, no ghosts are coming to you." The maid said patiently.

A pair of eyes did not forget to look at the room again, after all, the Governor's Mansion only died last night, it is inevitable that the Yin Qi of the Coral Garden is too heavy, and it accidentally came here.

The ancients were superstitious, and they were also afraid of these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

The maid patted the peony's back again and again, and it took a while to see that the peony's breath was calmer, but her face was still pale after being frightened.

Footsteps gradually came from outside the door, and the two of them patronized and talked, but they didn't notice it.

By this time, the footsteps had reached the front of the room.

The maid just wanted to speak, but she heard the door of the room "squeak", and the thin figure of Governor Xiong appeared from outside the door.

His face was gloomy, and his eyes were heavily gray.

There was a tiredness that couldn't be concealed in his expression, and he couldn't sleep well this night.

Seeing the naked peony on the ground, Governor Xiong's face immediately turned cold.

The maid was afraid that Governor Xiong would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained what had just happened.

I never thought that after hearing this, Governor Xiong's face became more and more gloomy, he looked at the panicked peony, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he unceremoniously reproached on his face: "It's just nonsense, there are no ghosts in this world, it's just your own imagination." ”

Governor Xiong's tone was very disdainful, and he didn't seem to take Peony's words to heart at all.

Peony had just been frightened, and now she was misunderstood like this, and her eyes turned red, "Really, my lord, you believe in the concubine, the concubine really saw a figure in a white skirt passing, and the hem of the person's clothes was full of blood!" ”

"Enough!"

Before Peony finished speaking, Governor Xiong's face suddenly changed.

His tone was very harsh, and he could vaguely feel a hint of anger and corruption.

Glaring at Peony, Governor Xiong opened his mouth and scolded: "It's just nonsense, I think you are crazy, you can actually say such a thing." ”
