According to Liu'er, the nurse disappeared after meeting Miss Biao's ghost, and the most widely circulated theory in Zhuangzi is that Miss Biao missed the nurse, so she came back and took the nurse away.

The lord and wife of the Su family didn't believe this kind of rumor at first, so they specially ordered someone to search for more than half a month, and searched the Zhuangzi inside and out, and even sent someone to ask Miss Biao. As a result, there is no one alive, no corpse is dead, and then it will be gone.

"Then do you know why she disappeared? A person will never disappear for no reason, and before disappearing, there will definitely be a sign, such as restlessness or something. ”

"It's true that he didn't disappear for no reason!" Liu Er's expression was quite serious, and there was even a hint of awe in her eyes: "Nurse, she disappeared after meeting Miss Biao's ghost." In the first two days of his disappearance, as the girl said, he was panicked and easily frightened, and even spoke a lot less. At that time, we also felt sorry for the nurse, thinking that she was frightened by Miss Cousin's ghost, so we were also cautious those days.

When my young lady saw that the nurse was in a trance, she asked her to rest first, and instructed none of us to ask the nurse about the ghost of Miss Cousin, nor to discuss it in private. If you hear a sentence, you will sell it directly to someone outside. We are all maids who have signed a deed of sale with the Su family, so naturally we don't dare to make Miss angry. Later, the nurse disappeared, and it was still reported by Steward Su. Later, no one was found, and Steward Su was also sad and sad, so he resigned from his position as a housekeeper and followed the third young master to run business. ”

"Third Young Master?"

"Well, it's the third young master of our Su Mansion. There are three young masters in our house, the eldest young master is not in good health, and he rarely cares about the affairs of the house on weekdays, he reads, writes, paints or something every day, and he doesn't go out often. The second young master is the one just now, mainly responsible for some things in the house, the third young master has a lively temperament and doesn't like to stay in the house, so the shops and fields outside are under the control of the third young master. ”

"What about Miss Cousin? She also lived in Su Mansion before, did she live in this courtyard? ”

"Liu Er doesn't know much about Miss Cousin, and most of them are told by people in the house. It is only said that in the early years, the lord and Miss Cousin were childhood sweethearts, and Miss Cousin was the first to enter the house, and they lived in this courtyard. As a result, he entered the house for two years and has not given birth, so the old man married his current wife and entered the door. When Miss Cousin found out, she made a big fuss with the old man and asked the old man to divorce his wife. The old man had no choice but to agree. Therefore, the current lady can be a lady, otherwise, it can only be a side room. ”

Liu Er's last two sentences were whispered, and she looked very cautious.

"And then?" Xing Ruyi asked, becoming more and more interested in the affairs of the Su family.

"Later? Later, the lord fulfilled Miss Cousin's wish and gave her a letter of resignation, but Miss Cousin refused to leave, saying that the lord liked the new and hated the old, and said that the lord was a thin lover and a negative man. But at that time, the letter of resignation had already been given, and the lady had been straightened, and the eldest young master was already pregnant in the womb at that time, so even if the master and Miss Biao regretted it, Miss Cousin could only be a concubine and not a wife.

Miss Cousin is also a young lady from a large family, and her temperament is naturally different, so she is willing to be so wronged by herself, so she has been living in this courtyard as Miss Cousin. Madame was generous, and she didn't say anything, everything was still in accordance with Madame's specifications, and she politely called her sister when she met.

Who would have thought that Miss Cousin actually held a grudge and secretly mixed oleander pollen in Madame's snack, wanting to poison Madame and the child in her womb, that is, the current eldest young master. It was thanks to the fact that the lady had a bad appetite at the time, did not eat much, and later vomited, which saved herself and the child in her womb.

When the old man and the old lady found out about this, they were naturally furious. The lord wanted to send Miss Biao to the government, but it was the lady who pleaded for mercy that made the lord relieved, and only said that Miss Cousin would be sent back to her own home. Miss Cousin was naturally unwilling, she cried and cried, saying that she had been wronged, and the dim sum mixed with oleander powder was made by Mrs. herself, and Mrs. wanted to blame her.

This kind of thing, not to mention the old man and the old lady, even the maids and servants in the house don't believe it. At that time, Mrs. was already Mrs., and she still had the blood of the lord in her abdomen, how could she harm herself and the child in her womb. Even if the lady minds Miss Cousin, as long as she asks the master to send her out of the house, why use this method to blame her? Not to mention, Madame has always been kind-hearted, whether it is to the master, the young master or us maids, she is excellent, and she doesn't even have the time to speak loudly.

Miss Cousin is different, she has a big temper, and she dares to get angry with the master at every turn, smashing things and throwing things, which is even more commonplace. Therefore, it must be Miss Biao's lies made up to excuse herself in order not to let the master drive him away.

It's a pity that neither the lord nor the old lady fell for her, and the lord even wrote a letter to Miss Biao's maiden family on the spot, asking someone to send someone to pick it up. I heard from the elderly people in the house that when that incident happened, it was the Chung Yeung Festival, and Miss Biao's mother's family replied that there was something at home and that she would come back two months later. As a result, it dragged on for several months.

Probably Miss Cousin's mother's side also saw that the matter was irreparable, so they sent someone. When he sent him, it was already the year old, and it was past noon fifteen. On the day of leaving, Miss Biao was very calm, and she told the people waiting outside that she should dress up carefully. Later, outsiders felt that the situation was wrong, so they broke into the door, only to find that Miss Biao had committed suicide by hanging herself. Well, I heard that is the room. ”

Liu Er said, pointing to the room in the middle of the courtyard.

I also heard that Miss Biao wrote a blood book at that time, saying that she was wronged, and that she was born as a member of the Su family and died as a ghost of the Su family, even if she died, she would never leave this courtyard and leave the Su family.

Seeing this situation, the lady also comforted the master, and let the master follow Miss Biao's wishes, or buried her in the ancestral tomb of the Su family in the name of Mrs. Su family. As for this courtyard, it has also been sealed for a long time, and people are only sent over from time to time to clean it. ”

"Since it's a dead man's yard, why do your lord and lady want your lady to live here? Aren't you afraid that your young lady will live in bad luck? ”

"The old lady naturally doesn't want my young lady to live here, but my young lady insists on it. It is said that at that time, my young lady could not walk, and was carried by the nurse to play in this neighborhood, but the young lady cried and insisted on entering this yard. The nurse had no choice but to secretly carry her in, but as soon as the young lady entered the courtyard, she giggled non-stop.

Later, every day the nurse had to carry her, if she didn't come, she would cry, and sometimes she could even cry all day. The lord and his wife gave birth to three sons, and only then did they have such a daughter, so they were naturally distressed, so they ordered someone to clean up the yard again, and even changed the layout before letting the young lady move in. ”

"Then after you moved in, have you encountered any strange phenomena, or have any strange things happened?"

Liu Er shook her head: "Liu Er has been with Miss since she entered the mansion, and she has been living in this courtyard. For more than ten years, I have never encountered anything strange, and I have never seen the ghost of Miss Biao. Even the nurse herself, she only occasionally looked at a certain place, saying what was put there before, what was put on the table, and said that although Miss Biao had a bad temper, her heart was not bad, and she would never do anything to poison her wife. At that time, I didn't hear her say that she saw ghosts or anything. ”

"So, before Miss Biao's ghost appeared, did anything happen in this mansion?"

"If it's a small thing, it's every day in this house. After all, there are many people and many things, but if it is a big deal, there is only one thing, that is, the eldest young master got married and married a woman from an ordinary family, that is, the eldest lady. ”

"Is the eldest lady's family background very ordinary?"

"Hmmm! Compared with our Su Mansion, it is quite ordinary, but it is also a little better than ordinary people's homes. The eldest lady's house is not far from here in the paper shop town, and the family is also engaged in the trading of oil paper umbrellas, the business is not big, but it is very prosperous. The eldest lady's mother is the herbalist in the town, the kind of female doctor who can use flowers and plants to treat people, but the patients are also women. ”

"Then how did your eldest young master and eldest lady meet?"

"This Liu Er also listened to the little guy next to the eldest young master, saying that the eldest young master would meet friends with literature, and the location chosen was in the paper shop town, and there was a particularly difficult question at that time, saying that he wanted to draw the umbrella surface, and he also wanted to mention poetry on the umbrella, as for which umbrella to choose, there was no limit.

The eldest young master took the little maid to look around the town, and finally chose the umbrella of the eldest lady's house, painted the umbrella surface, and wrote poems. When she was about to leave, the eldest lady suddenly came out, not to mention the plain clothes, but also holding an unfinished oil-paper umbrella in her hand. Then I took a pen and made up for it.

The eldest young master was also angry at first, but he had always had a good temper and did not show it, and when the eldest lady finished painting, the eldest young master was not only not angry, but also felt that the eldest lady drew very well. After returning to the mansion, he asked the little maid to inquire about everything related to the eldest lady.

Later, the old lady was about to marry the eldest young master, and the eldest young master thought of the eldest lady and asked the little girl to ask, but the eldest lady acquiesced. As a result, it became a beautiful marriage. It's a pity that the eldest lady is blessed, and she only lived a good life for less than two years, and then went. The eldest young master is also very sad, the old lady wants to renew the strings several times, but he is unwilling. ”

"In this way, the disappearance of the nurse should have nothing to do with the fact that the eldest lady entered the door!"

"Of course it has nothing to do, the eldest lady doesn't recognize the nurse, let alone Miss Cousin. However, when the nurse saw the hell, it was not long after the doctor entered the door, and the lord and the lady were worried that they would scare the eldest lady. Who knew that this eldest lady was also a bold woman, not only did she not believe it, but she also came to hunt ghosts in person, and she came for several nights in a row. As a result, the ghost was not caught, and she herself was sick. Later, the nurse disappeared, and the eldest lady contracted an eye disease and couldn't see, so no one mentioned these things anymore. ”

"So, the eldest lady contracted an eye disease after the nurse disappeared?"

"Yes! The eldest lady was originally fine, but since she went to our yard to catch ghosts, her health has become worse and worse, and then she can't even see her eyes, and we all suspect that the eldest lady was actually killed by Miss Cousin's ghost. First the eldest lady, then the third young master, and then our young lady, if this yard is clean, Liu Er doesn't believe it. ”
