Chapter 100: Hidden Secrets (1 / 2)

“Ah”, when the crowd was playing lively and energetic, a miserable scream came from the distance, breaking the lively atmosphere.

Qi Xue’er hurriedly got up and walked outside, “What happened”

“A maid in the back said she saw a ghost.” The visitor reported back.

“Nonsense.” Qi Xue’er, however, did not believe it, “How has there ever been such a thing within the State Duke’s residence?”

“Yes, it’s true.” That slave said and pointed not far away, “The slave also saw it.”

“Eldest cousin, this” Qi Xue’er turned her eyes to look at Mu Zi Yan, thinking that today is her birthday, but even this kind of thing came up, it is really bad luck.

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes and swept over the crowd’s expressions, and then she saw Qi Xuan walk over, “I’ll go take a look.”

“En.” Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at them, “Maybe it’s just some girl who doesn’t know what’s important looking at her eyes.”

Staffer came forward, “I’ll go along for the ride.”

“I’ll go forward with you.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

“In that case, why don’t we all go together, or see if it’s really there.” Qi Xue’er felt that today was her birthday, if she left them all here, it would definitely cause them to guess, in case something hard to say came out, then the face of the State Duke’s Mansion would be lost.

Seeing that Qi Xue’er was able to think of this layer, Mu Zi Yan nodded her head slightly in appreciation, and then the group walked towards the backyard.

The State Duchess had heard the letter, and walked over with a slightly sunken expression, “How come they’re all out?”

“Come to see the fun.” Mu Zi Yan said with a smile.

Seeing that Mu Ziyan was so calm, the Duchess of State nodded her head slightly as well, “That’s true.”

Not a moment, will turn into the backyard remote a courtyard head, the State Duchess frowned, to see the ground kneeling a girl, cowering and crying, raised his eyes to see the people, rushed forward regardless of grabbed Qi Xue’er’s feet, “Missy, help ah”

Qi Xue’er lowered her eyes and looked at the girl, only to see that her clothes were disheveled, as if she had been scratched, and even the skin that was exposed was covered in a long line of scratches.

“What’s wrong with you,” Qi Xue’er asked in a low voice as she stared at the girl with a frown.

“Eldest Miss, there is a female ghost,” that girl held Qi Xue’er’s leg and didn’t let go, saying tremblingly, her eyes showing fear.

Mu Zi Yan gazed down at her, “Did you see where the ghost went?”

“Inside.” The girl said, pointing to the dilapidated room.

Qi Xue’er’s face showed difficulty as she turned her eyes to look at the State Duke’s wife, “Mother, this”

“This is just an abandoned courtyard, how could there be a ghost?” Mrs. Guo Gong snapped, “Tell me honestly, what’s going on?”

“Slave girl slave girl was rushing to the front yard, then heard a white shadow flashing in this yard, slave girl was curious and came over to take a look, not expecting to see a woman with a face full of blood, cloaked hair flying towards the slave girl, slave girl was so scared that she wanted to run away, but was grabbed by that female ghost, grabbing the slave girl into this appearance.” That girl said in horror.

As Mu Zi Yan listened carefully, she heard voices of discussion coming from behind.

“Look at the scratches on her body, it’s really scary, could it be that there really is an evil spirit in this place” a childish voice rang out.

“Then we’d better get going.”

“Yes, in case that evil spirit is on your mind, when the time comes”

Mu Zi Yan listened to the whispers and slowly stepped forward, then walked towards that house.

“Cousin.” Qi Xuan rushed forward.

Mu Zi Yan did not stop but continued to walk up, “She saw the white shadow, since she can see the shadow, how can it be an evil spirit”

That girl quickly retorted, “Nu servant Nu servant did not see the shadow.”

“Is that so” Mu Zi Yan continued to move forward, and when she got on the steps, she laughed lowly and said, “Then tell me, she scratched you like that”

“Slave girl slave girl slave girl slave girl really saw a female ghost.” That girl couldn’t say anything, just shaking her head vigorously.

Mu Zi Yan stood at the door and pushed the half-covered door open, then walked in, when a figure flashed by, Qi Xuan hurriedly blocked in front of her, “Be careful.”

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at the figure, then turned to look at the girl and continued, “Bring the lantern.”

“Eldest Miss.” Yunxiang walked over carrying a lantern.

Mu Zi Yan took the lantern, and then walked in, the inside is covered with dust, look around and there is nothing wrong, just that a flash of shadow and what is the matter?

When Mu Zi Yan was watching carefully, she suddenly heard a scream and saw a ghostly white shadow flashing behind her, Qi Xuan quickly turned around and chased after her, but the white shadow disappeared without a trace.

“Ghosts have ghosts,” the crowd has seen with their own eyes, so scared that even when they fled in all directions.

Mu Zi Yan turned her eyes to look at their panicked appearance, and her eyes flashed a cold smile before she said, “If there were truly ghosts, you would definitely be caught if you fled like this.”

“No, I don’t want to stay here.” The younger ones cried out in fear.

Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Qi Xue’er and saw that she was also pale and standing in place in shock.

Mu Zi Yan slowly went up, “There are so many of us, that female ghost is only one, as long as we don’t scatter, she won’t dare to touch you guys since.”

“First cousin is right.” Qi Xue’er also didn’t expect that this State Duke’s Mansion really had a ghost, however, she didn’t understand how this female ghost had to come out and make a mess tonight.

Mu Zi Yan but do not believe, she is a thousand years old ghost, is a real ghost, or someone pretending to be a ghost she is naturally clear, but looked at the crowd in front of the eyes were scared lightly, she whispered, “cousin, order people will be this place lights are lit, if it is really a ghost, she must not see the light.”

“Not bad, ghosts are afraid of fire.” Qi Yu’er hurriedly agreed.

“In that case, then I don’t let go of catching this little kid this day.” In front of Mu Zi Yan this thousand year old ghost is not a little kid.

Mu Zi Yan’s words obviously let the chapter Staffer a stunned, raised his eyes to look at Qi Xuan also obviously mouth slightly skewed, only to feel that this girl is really not afraid of the sky, and even this tone of voice is not small.

After Mu Zi Yan ordered someone to light up and so on, she also turned around and walked into the dilapidated house, and did not find any abnormality, and then walked out of the house, looking down at the feet of the lapis lazuli floor.

Zhang Zong and Niangzi Lu walked over, “But you found something”

“This person should be familiar with the State Duke’s Mansion, moreover, there should be a story in this courtyard.” Mu Zi Yan said as she raised her eyes to look at the State Duke’s wife.

The Duchess of State’s face stiffened slightly and looked at Mu Zi Yan in an extremely unnatural manner, “Someone died here.”

“How to die,” the crowd gasped in horror.

Mu Zi Yan asked calmly, for her, the death of a person in this mansion is a common thing, not to mention, she felt that if someone wants to make an issue out of this courtyard, there must be a reason.

The State Duchess looked at Mu Zi Yan, “Come over and say it.”

Mu Zi Yan slightly nodded, then along with the State Duchess to leave together, to be traveled not far from the pavilion, followed by Qi Xuan, the two looked at the State Duchess, waiting for her to speak.

“Here originally lived is your second uncle’s an aunt, at that time is favored, your second aunt nature is weak, will also let this aunt wantonly, over time, this aunt’s mind will be big, and then, your second aunt is happy, your second uncle is happy, but this aunt was born of jealousy, will secretly to your second aunt drug, the child did not keep, your second aunt, under the sadness, then also followed, that the aunt was also hanged in the head of this house. Under the sadness, then also followed to go, that aunt of the east window of the incident, then also hanged in the head of this house.” Mrs. State Duke said, “Your second uncle has been disillusioned since then, he has not married for life, along with your grandfather went to the border.”

“Then did Auntie ever have a child” Mu Zi Yan asked in a low voice.

“Never.” Duchess of State said, “The old madam was afraid that your second uncle would be sad, so she sealed this courtyard, and this matter was never mentioned again.”

Mu Zi Yan did not hear of this matter in his previous life, and now listen to it, but also sighing, since she knows since she knows that the second uncle has not renewed his marriage, until his death, but also is alone.

Originally, there is still this matter here, just this aunt and who is the lady of the family that aunt and what is the origin?

“Your second aunt is the first miss of the Yin family’s second house.” Mrs. Guo Gong said.

“The Yin family” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “is the exiled Yin family”

“Good.” The State Duchess nodded in response.

“What about Auntie” Mu Zi Yan continued to ask.

“That aunt was brought by your second uncle from the border, but she is just a peasant girl.” Mrs. Guo Gong continued.

“I don’t think it’s as simple as a peasant girl.” Mu Zi Yan spoke faintly.

“You girl, do you think I’m swindling you,” Mrs. State Duke saw Mu Zi Yan’s mouth turn away, she whispered.

“Not so, great aunt, just that the things in that house are not all untouched” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Guo Gong.

“Since it has not been moved.” The State Duchess said, “What’s the point of moving a dead man’s things?”

“That’s right.” Mu Zi Yan then said, “If that aunt is a peasant girl, is not an ordinary peasant girl, know, smoke just went in to see that a painting hanging on the wall, just look at that painting, it is known to be practiced for a long time, and that the bookcase on the four treasures, all from the treasures, which is not an ordinary peasant girl’s insight, even if she was brought into the state government house, have some insight, it is impossible to The four treasures will be placed so neatly, and the table placed on the tea set, can be the top quality, some are also a unique, this house through the head of the elegant.”

Seeing Mu Zi Yan say so, the Duchess of State responded in a low voice, “Rather, you’ve got it right.”

“Great aunt, I think this matter still comes from that girl.” Mu Zi Yan said faintly, and then turned around and walked forward.

That girl knelt on the ground and didn’t dare to move, and when she saw Mu Zi Yan come, she cried more and more.

Mu Zi Yan half squatted, from the cuffs of his sleeve pulled out a silk handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, “What’s your name?”

“Slave girl Ying’er.” The girl whispered back.

“Oh.” Mu Zi Yan slowly got up, “Ying’er, there’s a purple inkstone missing in this room, do you know where it went”

“The slave girl has not been inside, so she does not know.” Ying’er whispered back.

“You really did not go in,” Mu Zi Yan stared down at the soles of her shoes, and then said, “just when I went in, I found a row of footprints on the ground, sister Lu, you and see, but she wore this pair of feet.”

“Let me take a look.” Niangzi Lu went forward and then visually inspected it, and then took off that Ying’er’s shoes and went inside the house, turning to look at Mu Ziyan, “It’s this footprint.”

“Nurse servant First Cousin Miss, slave servant did go in, but really didn’t know about that purple inkstone ah.” Ying’er hurriedly responded, raising her eyes to look at her, “The slave servant was only introduced there by that female ghost.”

“Is that so,” Mu Zi Yan laughed lowly, “then I asked you just now if you could go in, why did you deny it?”

“Slave servant slave servant is afraid.” Ying’er whispered, “Afraid that if you say it, that female ghost will come to claim your life.”

“You’re not afraid of solicitation, but you’re worried that if you say anything, it will be known that you sneaked into the head of this house to look for something.” Mu Zi Yan said sternly.

“Slave girl doesn’t know what Miss First Cousin is talking about,” Ying’er hurriedly lowered her eyes and denied it.

“This house must be hidden in the head of the secret, you several times three times sneak into here, but did not move inside the valuable things, but that bookcase and cabinets have been turned traces, is not you are not looking for something” Mu Zi Yan coldly laughed, “is looking for what?”

“The slave girl is unjustly accused.” Ying’er hurriedly cried out for injustice.

“I remember when the second uncle gave Auntie Qiu a generous dowry, and then the East Window was discovered, Auntie Qiu killed herself, and that dowry disappeared, you sneak into this house, is it to find the treasure” Mu Zi Yan said in a deep voice.

The crowd was confused, Su Qinrou went up in disbelief, “Sister Mu, since she is here to find treasure, then what’s with the scratches on her body”

“This courtyard is called the Autumn Lotus Courtyard, I think there is a lotus pond at the back of this courtyard,” Mu Zi Yan asked as she looked at the Duchess of State.

“Not bad, but this courtyard hasn’t been lived in for more than ten years, so that lotus pond is also deserted.” Mrs. Guo Gong said in a low voice.

“Cousin, you order someone to go to the Lotus Pond to do some salvaging.” Mu Zi Yan said as she looked at Qi Xuan.

“I’ll go now.” When Qi Xuan saw Mu Ziyan say so, he was instantly satisfied and led the butler and a few household servants to the lotus pond in the backyard.

That warbler hung her eyes and shivered in fear.

And the others were silenced at the moment.

The chapter reporter looked at Mu Zi Yan’s eyes through the calm silence, the corners of his mouth then hooked up a shallow smile, stepped forward, “How did you find out”

“Want to hear” Mu Zi Yan raised her eyes to look at the report, hooking her lips and smiling, very pleased.

“Wash your ears.” Chaplaincy hastily bowed toward her.

Chapter Staffer’s behavior is obviously stunned the crowd, the capital, who do not know the chapter Shi Zi cold, arrogant and noble, not close to the feelings, but now to Mu Zi Yan showed this kind of warm smile, and put on this bottom of the gesture, it really makes people jaw-dropping.

However, the reporter did not think so, but just looked at Mu Zi Yan, wanting to know how this girl actually saw through it.

Mu Zi Yan smiled lightly, “Later.”

Zhang Zong also guessed it, but his heart was still a bit puzzled, turning his eyes to glance with Niangzi Lu, and then stood beside Mu Lingxuan, “This sister of yours, it’s really a pity, if she were a man, she would definitely become a famous minister of the generation.”

Mu Lingxuan saw Zhang Zong commenting on Mu Zi Yan in such a high place, “No hitting on my sister’s idea.”

“I wouldn’t dare.” Zhang Zong hurriedly waved his hand, “However, I really want her to go and sit at my place more.”

“Going to see dead people,” Mu Lingxuan shook his head, “I don’t want to.”

Not long after, he saw Qi Xuan walk out, and behind him, the household servants carried a person out, and then placed him on the ground.

The timid young lady of the world on the side was so frightened that she screamed in shock and fainted.

And the more daring ones hurriedly turned their heads not daring to look at it more than once.

Mu Zi Yan stepped forward to take a look and turned her eyes to Niangzi Lu, “Sister Lu, it’s your turn.”

“En.” Niangzi Lu faintly answered, and then she stepped forward, half-squatting and carefully examining it, before saying, “It was wounded by a sharp weapon, a fatal cut.”

“Ying’er, I didn’t expect you to have this ability, since you are able to kill a person with a single knife, now, you don’t have to pretend anymore,” Mu Zi Yan’s eyes were slightly cold, and then she handed Qi Xuan a wink.

That Ying’er got up in a hurry, so she came towards Mu Zi Yan, and then with a sideways turn, she pinched Qi Xue’er’s neck.

“Don’t come over.” Ying’er’s eyes showed ferocity, where there was still that timid look, now exuding a thick killing intent.

Qi Xue’er’s face was pale, and she didn’t dare to move, forcibly suppressing the fear in her heart, she said in a low voice, “Who on earth are you?”

“Who she is is not important, the important thing is that you’re not the only one who did what you did tonight, that female ghost is also your accomplice, right?” said Mu Zi Yan with a smile, and then took a step forward, “Do you think you can really escape?”

“Humph.” Ying’er’s eyes narrowed slightly as she glared angrily at Mu Zi Yan, “You have spoiled my good deed tonight, take your life.”

Ying’er said and pushed Qi Xue’er forcefully towards Mu Zi Yan, and then flew to grab her, Mu Zi Yan raised her hand to receive Qi Xue’er, and Zhang Staffer hastily tugged on Mu Zi Yan’s arm at this moment and brought it with force, and Qi Xuan had already flown up and went to take Ying’er together with the two of them, Mu Lingxuan.

Staffer grabbed Mu Zi Yan’s arm, Qi Xue’er crashed into her arms, and she fell back a few steps, it was good that Staffer’s strength was strong enough, otherwise, she would have been caught by Ying’er, or else she would have been knocked to the ground directly by Qi Xue’er.

Once she was on her feet, she turned her eyes to Chapter Staffer, “Thank you, Cousin Chapter.”
