"What's the matter? Why don't you explain it quickly?"
A gust of night wind blew by, causing the little girl to shrink her neck, "On the surface of the pond, there was a white shadow floating..."
Mother Zheng and Nong Shao looked at each other, their expressions changed, and they walked towards the pond together.
The two of them were quite brave, but when they arrived near the pond, they were so frightened by the scene in front of them that their faces turned pale.
In the dark garden, the pond reflects the pale moonlight, and a white shadow lies on the dark water, floating in a trance.
Nong Shao opened her mouth several times but no words came out.
The night wind was chilly, making her shiver.
The little girl who brought them here trembled and said, "Sister Nong Shao, Mother Zheng, look at that, is it... is it Sui'er?"
Mother Zheng's scalp was numb and she said harshly: "What the hell, Sui'er, don't talk nonsense!"
Before she finished speaking, the light in the lantern suddenly went out, and the white shadow appeared clearer in the darkness, and was swayed by the waves, making it appear blurred.
That was clearly the shadow of a woman in white!
It's just that they were a little far apart, and it was pitch black all around. They could only see the figure floating slowly and rotating, and couldn't see his facial features clearly. He could only see that the person's skin and clothes were almost the same color, pale and very pale. Horrible!
Everyone held their breath, and the surroundings were deathly quiet.
Zheng’s mother’s legs were weak, but she couldn’t show her panic in front of other people, lest they make a fuss, “Go over and have a look…”
No one responded. The little girls shook their heads wildly and covered their mouths in silent resistance.
They can control themselves from running away, which is their limit!
Mother Zheng looked at the strangely dancing figure and was a little undecided. She didn't dare to go alone!
After a long time, the figure slowly sank into the water. Mother Zheng did not dare to delay any longer, and hesitantly said to Nong Shao, "Let's go over and have a look."
The color on Nong Shao's face had long since turned pale, but until this matter was investigated clearly, the old lady would have no way to deal with her. Moreover, she still had doubts in her heart, and she felt that someone was causing trouble, so she immediately gave up and said, "Let's go... …”
The two of them moved forward step by step.
When we arrived at the edge of the pond, the white shadow had not disappeared.
If it was really man-made, wouldn't you be afraid of being caught and exposed?
So...is it really Sui'er's ghost?
Nong Shao's feet felt weak and she couldn't move her feet as she leaned against the railing of the pond.
Mother Zheng's scalp was so numb that she had no choice but to step forward. She knelt down cautiously and took a deep breath. She gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand to grab the phantom.
The little girls around gasped!
Mother Zheng's whole body was aroused by the sound of their breathing, but her hand was empty, and her fingers splashed on the water, and the coldness fell on her body!
She groped around in the water for a few times, but didn't touch anything, but she felt even more terrified. She took a trembling breath and backed away, leaning against Nong Shao.
She turned back and glared at the girls, "Why don't you light the lanterns and bring them over!"
The little girls didn't dare to disobey, so you pulled me and walked over holding the lantern.
Everyone looked at the water surface by the light of the lanterns, and they could clearly see the bottom of the pond. Only a few koi carps were awakened by the visitors, and they were swimming around, with nothing around them.
However, this is even scarier!
"There was clearly a figure just now, where did he go..."
"We kept watching! She just sank!"
"If there is no one, then... just..."
"Ghost!!!"
Finally, the little girl couldn't hold herself any longer and screamed in terror.
Mother Zheng wanted to reprimand, but she was also frightened to death. She watched the little girls running away and dragged the peony leaves away from the small pond.
When the two returned to Songhe Hall, they heard the little girl report that the old lady had developed a fever.
Mother Zheng was taken aback and looked at Nong Shao, "Please tell me first."
Husband, come over. "
Nong Shao quickly turned around and sent the housekeeper to open the second door to ask for the doctor.
After struggling for half the night, the old lady finally woke up after the fever subsided, and said in a hoarse voice: "What time is it..."
"Go back to the old lady, it's already five o'clock."
Zheng's mother didn't look good, and Nong Shao was also absent-minded.
Madam Wei sat up, took a sip of water, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The two looked at each other, and Mother Zheng told her what had just happened at the pond, "We were about to come back to report to the old lady, but you got hot."
She looked at the sky and said, "Look, it's already dawn, and you just woke up."
The implication is that they are fooling around and do not retreat until dawn.
Mrs. Wei frowned slightly, obviously a little suspicious.
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Mother Zheng and Nong Shao were usually very steady people, but now they were nodding like chickens pecking at rice.
"Is it really that evil?"
When there are disasters and diseases in the houses of various governments, many people ask people to perform rituals. If they don't believe in these sacred ways, why do they do this.
Nong Shao saw that the old lady was shaken and glanced at Mother Zheng. Mother Zheng continued to persuade her: "Master Miaohui of Yueming Temple is profound in Buddhism and is highly respected by the female relatives of the imperial family in Beijing. Since she has pointed out all the points during the day, There is an evil spirit in our house, why not bring her to show the old lady, maybe we can find out something."
Master Miaohui was well-known, and Mrs. Wei had actually heard of it. Thinking of Sui'er's death with a bruised face and blood all over her body, she murmured in her heart. After thinking for a long time, she nodded feebly, "Yes or no, after all, There needs to be an explanation, otherwise the servants in the house will not be able to calm down, and if they are careless, they will end up with a small loss."
Seeing her promise, Zheng's mother quickly ordered people to leave the city at dawn to go to Yueming Temple to invite people.
However, the mother-in-law went there twice and failed to invite anyone, so the old lady asked Mother Zheng to ask in person. Only then did she know the reason why Master Miaohui didn't come.
"Old madam, Master Miaohui is really capable. She knew everything about our family at once. She said that old madam, you are haunted by evil spirits. My servant gave you your birth date. She said that you are guilty of Tai Sui this year. Two evils go hand in hand, and this is why I am seriously ill..."
Mrs. Wei didn't really believe this at first, but she was really not feeling well these past two days, and there was no warning before, so it was very sudden.
She thought for a moment and then asked, "Is there any way to resolve this?"
Mother Zheng wiped her tears with a handkerchief and choked up: "She said that the old lady was afraid that it would be... difficult for her to recover, so she didn't come."
"Is it hard?!"
When the old lady heard this, her face became angry.
"This Miaohui is just a nun, but she really dares to say anything!"
Mother Zheng burst into tears, "Old madam, I'd rather believe it or not. Let's think of a way, or else I'll ask Master Miaohui again..."
As she was talking, several daughters-in-law of Princess Yuanheng came after hearing the news.
The second wife, Mrs. Lin, returned to her former face-changing prodigy. She rushed in from outside with a disheveled look on her face, threw herself in front of the bed and cried, "Mother!"
Mother Zhao followed her closely and said anxiously: "Madam, you are still seriously ill and cannot withstand such a torment!"
Mrs. Lin turned around and scolded her angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's unfilial for me not to serve my mother at her bedside when she is so ill! Do you want me to just watch something happen to my mother without being able to do anything about it? Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law will go." I beg you, Master Miaohui, to invite her over to you!"
