Chapter 34: The Ghost-Faced Man

Seeing that more and more people came to see Ren's, Ren only felt a little embarrassed on her face, she hurriedly asked Mama Shen a few words, and then returned to her house surrounded by everyone.

"My grandmother is in good health, and my granddaughter is very happy! If not, there must be those who love to chew their tongues, and say that their granddaughters are disloyal and unfilial, which makes it difficult for their granddaughters to be people! ”

Bai Yanqing helped Ren sit down, and repeated the old words. She didn't believe it, with Mama Shen herself, she dared to arrange those words to say to Bai Yanqing's face! If there is no one behind this to teach Mama Shen, Bai Yanqing doesn't believe it!

Hearing this, Ren only felt that she was a little uncomfortable, and she probably guessed Bai Yanqing's thoughts, so it was inconvenient to say more. And after this experience, Ren felt that Bai Yanqing's city was quite deep, and he became more and more vigilant against her in his heart!

"My granddaughter is thick-skinned, but I want to ask my grandmother about something, and I hope that my grandmother won't refuse."

Seeing that Ren still didn't speak, Bai Yanqing didn't care whether she ignored her or not, whether she wanted to or not, so she opened her mouth directly and continued.

"What?"

It's all said and done, how can Ren no longer hold a shelf in front of everyone and not speak?

"I don't know what my grandmother saw that night, so she was so frightened? My granddaughter is also curious! ”

Bai Yanqing didn't believe Mama Shen's nonsense, what kind of ghost-faced person? What sits at Ren's bedside in the middle of the night? What is still bleeding from seven holes? In Bai Yanqing's opinion, it must be Mama Shen exaggerating!

Hearing this, Ren's body suddenly shook, and his face really showed a look of fear!

"Ghostface! A ghost-faced man! ”

I never thought that Mama Shen was not exaggerating, and it was indeed as she said, there was a ghost-faced man. It's just that those seven-hole bleeding and the like, it is indeed Mama Shen herself who is exaggerating.

According to Ren, she slept until midnight that night and was suddenly woken up by something. When she opened her eyes again, she saw a person wearing a ghost mask, sitting at the head of her bed.

When the man saw that Ren was awake, he took out a dagger and stabbed it into Ren's chest. Ren is getting older, and his body is not so flexible, so he naturally can't dodge. But the strange thing is that the tip of the man's dagger was just aimed at Ren's heart, neither stabbing down nor retreating, and it was so stalemate that Ren was incontinent, and the man just stopped!

Let Ren tremble with fright, the man still didn't say a word, until Ren eased up a little, shouted loudly, and woke up Mama Shen, and then the man broke through the window and ran away!

So calm? Didn't she run away until Mama Shen was about to enter the house? How sure is this person that he can shuttle freely in Baifu?

"What kind of figure is that ghost-faced man? Or are there any characteristics that grandmother remembers? ”

A strange feeling faintly flashed in Bai Yanqing's heart, she always felt ...... It seems to be a little weird, but I can't say where it's weird!

"By the meager moonlight, I can see that it seems to be a ...... A tall, thin man. ”

Although Ren didn't know what Bai Yanqing's intention was in asking this, she still replied truthfully.

He is tall and thin...... Man?

Thinking of this, Bai Yanqing seemed to suddenly remember something, she hurriedly said goodbye to the Ren family and Bai Furong's mother and daughter, and then pulled Caixing and ran back to her yard.

"Caixing, do you feel ...... The ghost-faced man my grandmother described was a bit ...... Familiar? ”

Bai Yanqing quickly ran back to the house, closed the door, gasped, and asked Caixing in a low voice.

Caixing was stunned by Bai Yanqing's question, she thought for a long time before she understood what Bai Yanqing meant.

"Miss! It's ......! ”

Cai Xing also came to his senses at this time!

The ghost-faced man, the masked man, is it the same person?

can come and go freely in Baifu, except for the masked man, there is no one else, right?

If this is the case, then come to think of it, Ren's illness this time is really not pretending.

It's just that this masked man hasn't appeared for a long time, so how can he show up?

Bai Yanqing thought about it all day, until the evening, when the sky was getting dark, she didn't come up with any way to lure the man out.

"Miss, there is a way to lure him to show up, but it's just ...... You've got to suffer something......"

Seeing that Bai Yanqing was so persistent, Cai Xing wanted that person to appear, and he struggled for a long time before he hesitated to speak.

"Say it quickly!"

Bai Yanqing saw Caixing's grinding and chirping look, and she was in a hurry, so she blurted out.

Caixing immediately informed Bai Yanqing of his thoughts, that is, let Bai Yanqing go to the yard in the middle of the night to sit and wait!

What kind of method is this? This is really a crime, Bai Yanqing has always been in poor health, and he can't stand the cold, even if it is a hot weather now, it is still a little cold in the middle of the night, which is nothing to others, but for Bai Yanqing, it is very easy to get sick.

Besides, just sitting and waiting, can you really wait for that person? If you can't wait, it's not a night of sin!

But Bai Yanqing couldn't manage so much, so she had dinner early, asked Caixing to prepare some tea to warm up, and then sent Mama Zhao and the others to sleep. Only Caixing was left to guard, and the two sat in the courtyard, waiting boredly.

The moonlight tonight is so good, different from the starry sky in winter, the summer night, the breeze is slightly cool, and the moon is bright. The moonlight, which is as clear as water, shrouds the entire courtyard in a piece of moonlight, which is exceptionally clear.

The chirping of insects in all corners of the courtyard, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas on the branches in the distance, echo each other, composing a happy song of a summer night.

Bai Yanqing was unconsciously immersed in it, his elbows were propped up on the stone table, his palms supported his chin, he raised his head, looked at the moonlight sky in the distance, and his thoughts drifted far, far away.

Since Bai Yanqing and Caixing returned to Baifu, in the past few months, there have been countless bad things every day, where is there that leisure, and Caixing can sit for a while and rest?

Bai Yanqing doesn't know how long it has been since she has sat so quietly with Caixing, watching the moon, listening to insects, tasting tea, and smelling flowers.

Summer flowers are always the most intense kind, fading the scorching heat of the day, and smelling at night, which is exceptionally fresh and pleasant.

……

As everyone knows, some people are admiring the moon, some people are appreciating flowers, and some people are ...... In appreciation!

"Master, do you want to go over?"

In the shadow of the trees in the distance, two figures emerged from within.

"She's been waiting for so long, but she can't go, it doesn't seem appropriate!"

The man chuckled, this girl, quite persistent, waited until the early hours of the morning, and was still waiting.

Without waiting for the person behind him to reply, he flew away.

Just when Bai Yanqing was drowsy, there was a faint trace of smoke on the tip of her nose, from far to near, from shallow to deep. She opened her eyes suddenly, stood up suddenly, and because she got up too quickly and quickly, she didn't notice it for a while, and her knee hit the stone bench, and she grinned in pain.

Seeing this, Cai Xing was distressed, and hurriedly ran back to the house to find medicine.

"Can't wait to see me?"

A familiar male voice came from Bai Yanqing's ears.

"Whoever wants to see you, but there is something they want to ask you."

Bai Yanqing stared at the air and rolled her eyes, this person is really the same as always...... Narcissism!

"Same!"

The man laughed.

Why is it that in his mouth, wanting to ask him about things is equivalent to wanting to see him?

At that time, Cai Xing appeared at the right time with medicinal oil, which alleviated Bai Yanqing's embarrassment.

However, there is a foreign man, where is Bai Yanqing embarrassed at the moment, let Caixing rub the medicinal oil for herself, so she had to endure the pain and talk to that person.

"Is that you?"

"Yes."

The man was refreshed, did not deny it, and directly admitted it.

"Why?"

Bai Yanqing was puzzled, he was so good, what did he do to scare the old lady of the Bai family? Isn't he hostile to the Bai family? If you really want to target the Bai family, you can go and scare Bai Jingxuan, the owner of the Bai family, what can you do to scare an old man? And there is nothing to be gained.

"Guess!"

The man's joking tone made Bai Yanqing extremely unhappy: I guess? Can I guess what else I am asking you for?

"If you don't say it, don't say it."

Bai Yanqing doesn't have to get to the bottom of it, she just needs to know that the ghost-faced man is him, as for the rest, she doesn't bother to ask.

"Later, you'll find out."

Seeing that Bai Yanqing didn't chase after him, the man also sold it. This little girl is not the uninteresting person, which is a bit interesting.

Later? What can she and him do next? Bai Yanqing's eyes were about to turn to the sky.

Bai Yanqing has always been very clear that she is going to enter the palace to run for election, so although this masked man takes advantage of her from time to time, she can't bear to talk to her.

Bai Yanqing knows better than anyone that her future is in that huge palace. She is as clear as a mirror, since the moment she returned to Baifu, her future path is not to be able to make her own decisions. Once she enters that huge cage, she will never have a peaceful day like this moment in her life.

"Huh, later? What's next? Later...... I'm going to be locked in that impregnable palace! ”

Bai Yanqing laughed at herself, not caring at all what the person behind her was thinking.

"It's the seventh lunar month!"

Bai Yanqing couldn't help but sigh again.

Yes, it is already the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and according to the will of the previous emperor, after the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, she will enter the palace with other women from major families to run for election.

Life flies so fast!

Before entering the palace, she had to finish everything she had to do, so she could rest assured!

"That palace that combines glory, wealth, fame and fortune, everyone flocks to it, but you are not happy!"

Seeing Bai Yanqing so worried, the man couldn't help but quip.

"Do you think I'm in and out? Can I still visit my loved ones from time to time? Can we be with them every day? Can you live in peace and joy without intrigue? ”

Glory, wealth, fame and fortune, for Bai Yanqing, are just passing clouds, what she wants is just ordinary days. I can see her family all the time, and I can see her grandfather, uncle, and cousin all the time.

Bai Yanqing is actually very lazy, she just wants to lie down every day, she doesn't want to participate in the deceit of the former harem at all, she doesn't want to participate in the intrigue between those women, she just wants to win the heart of one person, and she will grow old in vain.

"Whatever you want, you can do it."

When the man saw the little girl in front of him, his troubled brows were wrinkled into a rag, so he opened his mouth to comfort him.

"You know what I want? You can make it happen?! Can you keep me from entering the palace? Can you keep the Bai family and the Ji family safe for generations? Can you let the person I marry in the future marry only me, and die in vain? ”

Bai Yanqing said disdainfully, this person is really crazy, whatever she wants, she can achieve a ghost.

"I swear."

The man raised his finger and swore in a decent manner.

Bai Yanqing was amused by him, he was really arrogant, did he think he was heaven?
