Chapter 830: In the Middle of the Night, There Are Many Shadows

Therefore, if Shao Caihuan approves the marriage offered by Shao Jie'er, he may indeed be attracted to Chu Liuchen, not to mention Chu Liuchen's appearance. Even if Shao Wanru is reborn, he has to admit that he is as handsome as the one in the painting. The handsome young man who walked down had an elegant and gentle appearance.

Of course, the appearance is just an appearance, just a little superficial phenomenon seen on the surface.

The watery eyes were lowered, speechless for a while, and the long eyelashes cast jagged shadows under the eyes, looking quite tired.

"Miss, Qing'er is here!" Yu Jie's voice broke the silence in the room. Shao Wanru raised his head and nodded at Aunt Yu, indicating that he already knew.

Aunt Yu saw Yu Jie leading Qing'er in and knew that Shao Wanru had something to give, so she left.

"Qing'er, are your hands around?" Shao Wanru took a deep breath, suppressed a trace of displeasure in his heart, and raised his eyes to ask.

When they were at Yu Hui'an, it was easier for Qing'er to mobilize the manpower Chu Liuchen gave him, but this was the Xingguo Duke's Mansion, and Shao Wanru didn't know if Qing'er could easily mobilize the manpower Chu Liuchen gave him.

"Miss, you can send the servants around the house and you can find them!" Qing'er said.

"Okay, if you let people come in at night, come to the house and come over after nightfall." Shao Wanru nodded. It was very simple to send Qing'er out for a walk.

"Miss, do you want to inform His Highness?" Qing'er asked uneasily.

"No need!" Shao Wanru shook his head, paused and then said, "The news can definitely be conveyed, right?"

"It's definitely possible, don't worry, miss!" Qing'er nodded. Although it was inconvenient for the manpower assigned to protect the miss at Yuhui Temple to enter the Xingguo Duke's Mansion during the day, they were still afraid of something happening and kept guarding the door outside the mansion at night. If you have something to do, you can still enter the Xingguo Duke's Mansion.

"You go outside and buy me some candied fruits. Just say that I have a light mouth and need to use some. The candied fruits in the house don't taste good!"

"Miss, I understand!" Xiao Qing followed Shao Wanru's message. She is not a first-class maid, and her access is easier than Yu Jie's.

"Miss, do you have anything else to do tonight?" Yu Jie looked at Qing'er's back and asked carefully in a lowered voice.

"Since the matter has been raised and the goal has not been achieved yet, there must be a next step to force me. If a few days pass after this matter, not to mention my grandmother, even I will have thought of a way to deal with it!" Shao As if these words are not high-minded, it sounds like he is talking to himself.

"Miss?" Yu Jie became more and more confused. After thinking about it for a while, she asked in confusion, "Are you saying that the madam and the second lady have back-up plans?"

When she was at the Madam's place just now, Yu Jie could see clearly that what the Second Young Lady wanted to say should be related to the Madam. Whenever the Second Young Lady made up her mind about what to say, she would always look at the Madam subconsciously.

Shao Wanru smiled slightly and did not explain any more. In fact, she was not very sure, but tonight should be a key point. She wanted to start from herself. She could send people away with the excuse of "resting", so she had to What can you do to avoid it?

Looking at Shao Wanru's quiet smile and the hibiscus flower face with a bit of chill, Yu Jie could not help but feel an ominous feeling in her heart...

Although spring has begun, the weather is still very cold, especially at night. It is so cold that people feel shivering. If there is nothing to do, everyone goes back to rest early. Who wants to stay outside in a cold day when there is a hot quilt? At night, the lights in many courtyards were turned off.

Shao Jie'er's room was also lit with lights, which were not bright. This was a wing room. The decoration of the new house had not been completed before, so it was so messy that it was almost difficult to stay.

This yard is indeed not a good one, it was just done casually, and there are no heating facilities in the wing. Although Shao Jie'er is holding a hand stove, she is still shivering from the cold and cannot write a few words.

I asked the maid to push away all the things in the surrounding area to make the space a little bigger. Then I went to get a heater, so that the room became slightly warmer.

"Miss, do we really want to stay here all night?" the maid Liuxiang coughed a few times.

The coal in this stove is not good. It makes people cough, especially when they get close. She didn't get any good coal when she asked for it just now.

"Stay there for now!" Shao Jie'er seemed to have a much better temper. Although she was shivering from the cold, she was no longer as hot-tempered as before.

Liu Xiang remembered that when she went to get the coal, the young lady was still angry and scolded the fifth and third young ladies.

At this time, no one scolded anyone, and he warmed his hands, as if he was about to write. The paper on the table actually had only a few words written on it, only specks of ink.

Shao Jie'er's eyes narrowed and she warmed her hands again. She wanted to pull her hands away from the stove. As soon as she left, she felt so cold that she shivered. She walked to the desk and picked up the pen. She felt that her fingers were stiff. .

I stood in front of the table for a moment with the pen in hand, and suddenly an idea came to me, and the pen in my hand started scribbling on the paper.

"Miss, the madam will find out!" Liu Xiang was so frightened that her face changed color. The master was not to be favored, and she, the maid, was certainly not to be favored. Although Aunt Lu was now helping to take care of things, she, the maid next to the second young lady, was not favored. Huan finally stood up, but his mentality hadn't been corrected yet, so he would panic and come over to hold Shao Jie'er's hand.

"Miss, please write carefully, otherwise Madam would let you stay here and copy books all the time!" Liu Xiang pulled Shao Jie'er and begged.

Not only the young lady will be punished, but the servants who follow the young lady will also be punished. They may have to be beaten a few times, or they may even be betrayed. I think of the final fate of the maids who followed the second young lady. They are all for sale, and the fragrance is really hard to stand up for.

Whenever the second young lady loses her temper and causes trouble, the one who suffers is always the maid.

However, the second young lady still couldn't understand the situation clearly, and she immediately raised her tail when she was slightly proud. In the end, not only was she unlucky, but the maid who followed her also failed to say a good word.

"What are you afraid of? It's okay this time!" Shao Jie'er said nonchalantly, pushing away Liu Xiang's hand, taking off the paper on top, and continued to put ink dots on the paper below, scribbling horizontally and vertically.

The lingering fragrance trembled like fallen leaves in the wind. His face was pale and he cried out sadly, "Miss!"

"It's okay this time" was not the first time Shao Jie'er said this. Liu Xiang didn't believe what Shao Jie'er said at all.

"Don't worry, these will be burned soon. It's good to see some ink spots. Who knows if I wrote at this time or scrawled something casually!" Shao Jie'er became more and more nonchalant, remembering just now The woman who secretly came over to convey Mrs. Tai's wishes raised the corners of her lips very proudly.

"Why...why can't you see it?" Liuxiang is not a very smart maid. In fact, following such a master, she really can't be smart. Shao Jie'er has lost all the smart maids, and Jiang has no intention of giving it to her. She keeps a few smart and capable maids.

"In a moment, this fire is going to start. Who cares what words I write here? It would be great if you can rescue me!" Shao Jie'er looked at the beam above his head and clicked his tongue twice. Next, "This house doesn't look like much, but it's actually pretty good!"

Liuxiang still didn't understand what Shao Jie'er said, but she heard the word "rescue" in Shao Jie'er's words. This time, she was so frightened that she almost collapsed to the ground.

He stammered and asked: "Why did the young lady need to be rescued? Is it... because she was on fire? Then... let's run quickly!"

The words before and after are connected, and there is some meaning that makes people guess.

"Don't run now, wait later!" Shao Jie'er lowered her head and began to doodle again, one picture after another, having a great time, and her expression was unusually calm, without any panic.

"When? Miss...why...this fire will burn?" Liuxiang still didn't understand. He looked around carefully. There were piles of messy furniture all around, all of which had not been taken care of. Yes, it was very chaotic, and there seemed to be many ghosts in the darkness.

Liuxiang was very scared, she was cold and frightened, and her upper and lower jaws couldn't help but fight.

"Little... miss..." Seeing that Shao Jie'er ignored her, Liu Xiang said again.

"Don't keep calling me, annoying!" Shao Jie'er said displeasedly. Of course the fire had to be lit, and she started the fire herself. She was not in a hurry at all. The madam also wanted to wait a little longer. She couldn't do it. Too early, otherwise there will be too many people coming and the fire will be put out in a short time, which will be bad.

"Little... Miss..." Liu Xiang called again, her eyes flickering timidly, "Then... what is over there..."

"What side?" Shao Jie'er asked annoyed.

"It's over there...outside the window. Miss...slave...slave, I seem to see a white figure..." Liuxiang stretched out her hand and pointed out the window. The sound of the upper and lower jaws fighting became louder and louder, even Shao Jie'er heard it. arrive.

Subconsciously, he raised his head and looked out the window. There was nothing in the dark sky.

"Miss... there are... some, you... look..." Liuxiang suddenly screamed, holding her head and shrinking into a ball.

Shao Jie'er first went to see her, waiting to hear the meaning of her words clearly. When she turned around hurriedly, she still saw nothing. But even so, Shao Jie'er was scared. She felt cold and stiff under her hand while holding the pen in her hand.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Shao Jie'er said sternly, trying to calm down the panic in her heart.

"Miss...Miss, I'm not talking nonsense. There was a white shadow just now, and...a ghostly face flashed through the window...Miss is not far from you..." Liuxiang cried in fright, whimpering and hugging her into a ball, keeping on The shaking.

Shao Jie'er also started to tremble. This girl Liu Xiang had never lied to her before, but she didn't see anything when she looked back. She suddenly remembered some past rumors about the haunting in this house. Shao Jie'er sat down in panic. On the chair, he didn't even dare to raise his head, and he was shaking into a ball with "ta-da-da" sounds.

After a while, she made a huge decision. She gritted her teeth and stood up. She dragged her feet hard and walked to the table where the oil lamp was placed. She picked up the oil lamp and held up a fallen curtain next to her. It's lit...

She didn't dare to wait any longer...
