"Lotus Pond?!" Wei Yuanjia's face changed suddenly, and he immediately covered it up. She barely squeezed out a smile: "Fourth sister, you are talking nonsense, where are the ghosts, they are all scary, you are so old, why do you still believe this?"

"No, no, I saw it, she was still a female ghost, she was soaked in water, her hair was scattered, and her face was pale and miserable. Yuan Jie said that she was going to drill into Yuan Jia's arms, Yuan Jia's expression was a little flustered, but she still tried to restrain herself. Yuan Jie trembled: "She is soaking in the water, I see it, I see it, eldest sister save me, you save me." ”

Yuan Jia suddenly pushed Yuan Jie's hand: "Fourth sister, you are tired." Her wandering gaze collided with Yuan Xi's, Wei Yuanjia rubbed her eyebrows and said, "The fourth sister looks frightened, let her have a good rest." ”

"Yes, it seems that the eldest sister is also scared, there is a soothing soup here, do you want to drink some?"

"Uh, no need," Yuan Jia laughed embarrassedly, obviously squeezing out: "The fourth sister is just talking nonsense, where is it scaring me?"

Cheng Yong blew on the fire fold and lit the lamps one by one. The light in the room dispelled some of the gloom and fear. Cheng Yong said: "If there are ghosts in the water, the eight achievements are flower spikes, I heard that the girl is also like the fourth sister, and plunged into the lotus pond." If he hadn't died unjustly, how could he be so evil?"

Yuan Jia didn't answer, his face twitched obviously, and Yuan Xi smiled disappreciatively: "Big brother, our Wei family has been in business for generations, and we believe in Tao Zhugong, not King Yama." Besides, even if there is really a ghost in the lotus pond, she should pestering the murderer who killed her, what is it to pestering the fourth sister?"

"Don't say it, don't say it! It's weird!" Yuan Jia rubbed his arms and left.

"You guys go too, I don't want to see you!" Seeing Yuan Jia leave, Yuan Jie grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it at Yuan Xi. Cheng Yong blocked it with one hand, and called Ju Xiang: "Where do you go to the old lady, if the play is over, you will go back to the old lady, the fourth lady did not commit suicide by throwing herself into the lotus pond, she stumbled and slipped down, there is no big problem, please rest assured the old lady." ”

Ju Xiang answered, and ran away, as long as she could not be by Yuan Jie's side at this time, even if she was asked to move the ladder to pick the moon, she was willing. Yuan Jie was a little annoyed in her heart, she had just started too hard, and she beat both sides of Juxiang's face to be red, swollen and purple. The rules of the Wei family, it is not allowed to slap someone in the face, she was angry and violated the taboo for a while, but I am afraid it will be too late for people to chase after it at this time.

She simply broke the jar and broke it. She is a young lady, she fell into the water, she was frightened, no matter how angry the old lady is, she won't punish her now, right?

If the ghost in the pool is really a flower spike, then she should also pester the eldest sister, why would she entangle herself? Just thinking about it, Yuan Yue pushed the door in and sat on the edge of the bed with a bowl of soothing soup: "Fourth sister, the soothing soup is already warm, are you about to drink it?"

Yuan Jie was also afraid that everyone would betray her relatives and leave, so she didn't dare to lose her temper at Yuan Yue again, so she took the bowl and drank it all in one go. He cautiously asked, "Second sister, do you believe that unjust souls will haunt people?"

Yuan Yue pondered for a moment and replied, "Believe, so we just don't do anything wrong." ”

Yuan Jie stepped forward: "Then you say, if you didn't do anything bad but were haunted by ghosts, what would be going on?"

Yuan Yue smiled and tightened the quilt for her, stroked her hair and smiled: "I just follow what you said, there should be no such thing, right?"

Yuan Jie asked solemnly, "What if there really is?" Second sister, if you were that ghost, who would you pester with someone?"

Yuan Jie, like her mother Zheng, speaks out of proportion and is a heartless child. Yuan Yue lowered her eyelids and replied seriously: "If I were that female ghost, I wouldn't just pester that murderer, I would pester whoever dared to help her." Seeing that Yuan Jie's eyes were full of panic, Yuan Yue pretended to smile freely, pinched Yuan Jie's cheek and said, "Fool, do you still believe this?"

Yuan Jie let out a long sigh, and her heart beat wildly. Let Yuan Yue make the bed for her, lie on the bed and turn over, as soon as she closed her eyes, the miserable white face appeared in front of her, and the miserable white hands suddenly stretched out from the water and grabbed her ankles! Yuan Jie screamed miserably, opened her eyes, it was already late at night, and cold sweat wet the bed.

It was pitch black all around, and Yuan Jie got into the quilt and sobbed. Yes, it must be because she and You Shi are too close, it must be because she overheard the secret of You Shi killing Hua Sui, Hua Sui's ghost must think that she and You Shi are in cahoots, so they will attack themselves!

She lit an oil lamp, opened the drawer and took out two pieces of silver and put them on the side of the pillow.

......

"What's going on here?" Wei Dongshu hurriedly fastened his clothes and belts, and recently there have been a lot of things in the house, one after another, making everyone unhappy.

Wei Dongshu passed through the screen and sat in the right seat, and the fourth lady Yuan Jie had been kneeling in the flower hall for half an hour, crying pear blossoms with rain.

Wei Dongshu took a sip of tea, pointed at Yuan Xi and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Xi solemnly knelt down and said, "Father, do you remember the girl who burned the stove who fell into the water and died?"

It was just a few days ago, Wei Dongshu couldn't forget it, so he nodded indifferently: "Isn't it the girl in Yu's room? The twenty taels of silver rewarded by the house were all wrapped up for her, why did she mention it again?"

Yuan Jie just cried, Wei Dongshu, who was crying, was upset, Yuan Xi glared at her and continued: "The child found out the clue of this, so he reported it to his father. ”

Yuan Jie cried even louder.

"What's the clue? A girl drowned, what clues will there be?" Wei Dongshu pointed at Yuan Xi: "You stand up and say." ”

Yuan Jie lowered her head, and her complexion became even darker. Yuan Xi asked: "Fourth sister, in front of your father, you can tell everything you know." Lest you worry every day that the ghost of Flower Spike will come to take revenge on you. ”

"What ghost?" Wei Dongshu stood up and pulled Yuan Jie up: "What the hell is going on?"

Yuan Jie clenched her teeth tightly, the muscles on her face tensed, she looked at Yuan Xi depressedly, why did she frequently fall into her hands in the past two days?

Yuan Xi saw that Yuan Jie didn't mean to confess, so he said: "Fang Cai's daughter passed by the lotus pond and found that the fourth sister was burning paper by the lotus pond, and the daughter looked at her quietly when she felt strange. It turned out that the fourth sister prayed to the lotus pond, begging the drowned girl not to come to her trouble again. also said that there is a debtor and a debtor, and everything was done by Aunt You......"

Wei Dongshu was stunned, he immediately understood what Yuan Xi meant, You killed someone in the Wei family?! Wei Dongshu pulled Yuan Jie and forced him to ask: "Is what your third sister said true, what do you know?"

Yuan Jie glanced at Yuan Xi angrily, and she realized that it was fake to give satin to make herself ugly, and it was true that she couldn't go to the theater! If it weren't for that, she wouldn't be wandering around the garden, let alone falling into the lotus pond. I'm afraid, even the female ghost who asked herself to go into the water was arranged by her Wei Yuanxi! I went around such a big circle, just to make myself afraid, and personally told the cause of Hua Sui's death! Wei Yuanxi, you are so deep in the city!

Yuan Jie wiped her tears: "Dad, what are you talking about, I don't understand." I was in the lotus pond just now, and the third sister inexplicably asked the little girl to tie me up and forced me to frame Aunt You. If you don't make the decision for me, it's just that you're still here to ask me! It's also my father's daughter, and my father can't be partial!"

Yuan Xi knew that she would be so quibble, so she slapped her face twice, and Ling'er entered the flower hall in response, and took the copper basin used by Yuan Jie to burn paper and the unburned paper money. Yuan Xi sneered: "Fourth sister, you can not admit what you just said, but these things are always yours, right?

The copper basin was engraved with the mark in Aunt Zheng's yard, and Yuan Jie couldn't get rid of it, so she simply raised her face and said, "Third sister, you are too domineering." I just read a few books, and I felt sad and sad in my heart, so I burned paper money to worship those literati in the past, do you also have to take care of your third sister?"

On weekdays, she can't even recognize a few big characters, and if she can memorize three wrong sentences of four poems, she will also be sad about autumn and spring? It's ridiculous!

"Fourth sister, you'd better remember what you said, in our Wei family, liars, but they have to kneel in the ancestral hall all night. Yuan Xi glanced at Ling'er: "Go and bring Ju Xiang in." ”

In the middle of the night, Ling'er dragged a bruised girl into the flower hall. Wei Dongshu was a little surprised, he pointed at Yuan Jie tremblingly and asked, "What's the matter with this maid's face?"

Yuan Jie glanced at Ju Xiang angrily, and Ju Xiang hung her head in a panic. Yuan Jie simply broke the jar and fell: "I beat it, if it weren't for this Diao slave who couldn't protect the master, how could my daughter fall into the lotus pond and almost lose her life, my daughter slapped her lightly!"

"Light?!" The corners of Wei Dongshu's lips twitched a few times, frowning and not speaking, he just thought that the fourth lady had a little temper, but he didn't expect that it was a ruthless master, who turned a maid's delicate little face into a dye shop. Is this the daughter he raised?

Yuan Xi snorted lightly and asked rhetorically: "No, Fourth sister, as far as I know, on the day you fell into the water, it was clear that you asked Ju Xiang to leave and go alone." Even if you fall into the water and are frightened, you shouldn't be angry with chrysanthemums. Even if you are angry with her, you shouldn't be so ruthless. ”

Yuan Jie took a sip and turned her face away: "What? Do you want to stand up for a maid?"

Yuan Xi didn't answer her, only gave Ju Xiang a look, and asked, "Ju Xiang, let me ask you, what is the fourth lady buying incense candle paper money for?"

Ju Xiang glanced at Yuan Jie, her lips opened slightly, and Yuan Jie saw that she really wanted to speak, and she suddenly became angry. Suddenly grabbed Ju Xiang's ear, tore her cheek fiercely, and scolded: "I beat you to death, a cheap slave, eat inside and out, what benefits did she give you, make you black-hearted?

Wei Dongshu grabbed Yuan Jie's arm, threw her aside, pointed at Ju Xiang and shouted: "You tell the truth, I see who dares to touch you!"
