Cheng Miao expected that the second lady would refuse, so she imprisoned the two players in her yard in disguise.
But these are not important. Cheng Miao estimates that Li Cheng's mission is aimed at Mrs. Chang, and the two doctors' mission is aimed at the second wife. Their own mission is the most hidden. Mr. Chang is staying in Mrs. Chang's room, so there is no need to save him.
After exchanging a few words, Cheng Miao glanced at Mr. Chang, who was as quiet as a chicken today. Just as he proposed to go back to his room to rest, Mrs. Chang suddenly said to Lin Zhu, "Mu'er seems to be in a bad mood. Did he have a nightmare?"
Lin Zhu nodded with a stiff face, "It's a little bit, but if you have nothing to do, just go back to your room and rest."
Mrs. Chang continued to smile, "I want to take a good rest."
Lin Zhu: ...I feel like there is something in your words.
Cheng Miao was not in a hurry to go back to the room and went to the garden for a walk. Now the dense peonies were particularly frightening to look at.
"These peonies can be planted on pebbles." Lin Zhu from the side came closer. He didn't look carefully last time. The two most conspicuous peonies among the flowers seemed to grow out of the white pebbles.
Cheng Miao also felt strange. He looked over and saw that the pebbles were white and about the same size...
No, the sizes are exactly the same! Including the curvature and thickness, they were all the same. Cheng Miao watched a chill rise on his back.
"Hey...what are you looking at?" A man's voice came from behind.
Recognizing the voice of the butler, Cheng Miao replied smoothly without turning around: "I'm looking at these two peonies. Hey, butler, why are these two peonies planted in the gravel ground?"
"Hey...what are you looking at?"
"I didn't mean..." Cheng Miao replied impatiently. The next second he realized something was wrong. Lin Zhu beside him was already sweating profusely and clutching his hand with a blue face. He used so much force that Cheng Miao could feel his bones. It's all going to break.
Cheng Miao suddenly had an unquestionable sixth sense in his mind. The man behind him was not a human being...
This strange feeling came fiercely and surely. Cheng Miao knew that this was her "dead soul's friend" bUff activated.
Is the housekeeper different from Mrs. Chang in that he is not a monster but a revenant...
Cheng Miao swallowed and tugged her hand but did not pull it out of Lin Zhu's paw. She turned around and saw the housekeeper standing at an arm's length behind her, his eyes still the same as when he looked at Lin Zhu in the morning.
But now it was a different person, he was looking at Cheng Miao motionless, his face was blue and his face was droopy.
Cheng Miao held Lin Zhu, who had completely transformed into a human body pendant, and whispered, "Hey, don't hold on so tightly. Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
Lin Zhu glanced at Cheng Miao apologetically, but did not relax at all, "I'm not afraid of ghosts, but he is more like a corpse. I'm afraid of corpses!"
Cheng Miao: ...that makes sense.
Looking at the housekeeper who was still stuck in the road, Cheng Miao was not as scared as when she saw the ghost for the first time. She calmed down and said, "We were just passing by here, we didn't see anything."
Lin Zhu next to him nodded desperately with a pale face, and the sweat on his forehead fell onto Cheng Miao's hands.
Perhaps after getting the answer he wanted, the butler slowly gave way to the road with a stiff face. Cheng Miao took Lin Zhu away along the road, not forgetting to nod to the no longer human form of the butler.
After walking a few steps, Lin Zhu relaxed and stopped clasping his fingers on Cheng Miao's arm. He looked back frequently and suddenly lowered his voice and exclaimed, "Sister Miaomiao, he... there is someone behind him!"
Cheng Miao's scalp went numb and he slowly turned his head to take a look. The butler was still standing there with his back to them.
An old woman's face faintly appeared on the back of his head, with many grooves and grooves. She grinned silently at the two of them, revealing a row of shrunken gums and no teeth.
"Hey...what are you looking at?"
The old woman moved her mouth, and the housekeeper in front made a sound like a marionette. She turned her back to Cheng Miao and the two of them rushed backwards and rushed over.
Cheng Miao gritted his teeth and said to Lin Zhu next to him: "Use the cannon!"
As he spoke, he reached into his arms and took out a small ball with a strong smell of gunpowder and smashed it hard on the ground.
"Bang!" The sound was particularly loud in the garden, and Lin Zhu was not slow to react, following Cheng Miao's actions and throwing several at once.
The strong smell of sulfur filled the garden, and yellow smoke rose around the figure of the butler. The ghost carried on the butler's body was frightened by the throwing cannon, and controlled the butler's body to run quickly into the depths of the garden, disappearing without a trace.
Back in the room, Cheng Miao and Lin Zhu's clothes were all wet with their sweat. After changing their clothes, Lin Zhu hugged his knees and sat directly under the bed, with his back against the window and his head raised to look at the bed curtains.
"The butler is so scary. He seemed fine a few days ago, but suddenly he is no longer a human being."
Cheng Miao sat on a round stool and took out the musk wrapped in oil paper from his arms, "That should be Granny Sang. I thought there was no such character in the copy."
Lin Zhu heard Cheng Miao tell the story "Gejin", "Grandma Sang appeared twice, once to find firecrackers in my bag, and once because we were looking at peonies..."
Cheng Miao poured a cup of tea and drank it without interrupting, listening to Lin Zhu brainstorming beside him.
"So when it comes to the secrets she's afraid of and the secrets she needs to protect, Granny Sang will appear!"
Lin Zhu scratched his head, put his hands on his bent knees, and bit his fingers unconsciously, "So there must be something wrong with that peony, but the housekeeper has always been there. The garden housekeeper was there both times we passed by."
"Grandma Sang is afraid of firecrackers, but she is just so scared that she wants to run away. If we touch Peony, she may fight us regardless of her fear."
Cheng Miao put down the tea bowl and nodded to Lin Zhu, who had a look in his eyes that was like a child's showing off when he answered a question correctly. "That's right, so we need a way to restrain ghosts."
Lin Zhu was praised and raised his tail, "Sister Miaomiao, do you have that kind of thing?"
Cheng Miao smiled like a fox, "I don't have it, but there are two Taoist priests there, so they must have it."
Lin Zhu lamented in his heart that Cheng Miao's personality was completely different from his previous one after getting to know people. Hearing Cheng Miao's words opened his mind, "They have just entered the Chang Mansion and need our information. We can exchange resources."
Before Cheng Miao had time to answer, he saw a crowd of people outside. The maids and servants were shaking and running, and many of them had tears of fear on their faces.
What's going on here? Mrs. Chang has revealed her true form now?
While Cheng Miao and the two were observing the situation calmly and ready to take out the tools at any time, there was a special "puff" sound of a sharp weapon being inserted into the flesh and blood from the corner door, accompanied by the man's rough, slightly hoarse voice. The sound sounded.
"Bah, why did you run away? You got hit by a knife! You deserve it!"
"Everyone who didn't want to die inside was brought out by me and robbed!"
Cheng Miao and Lin Zhu looked at each other, oh, old acquaintance, finally here.
