Chapter 17 Pretend to be a ghost

Whatever happened, the only one who felt aggrieved was Su Yijuan. She was a low-class daughter-in-law, and her family was in such a mess. She would not be given much support in the future, and it would be easier for her to be rounded and squashed by the Prince of Kang County.

Mrs. Cen, Mrs. Jiang and others may not have thought of these consequences, but they thought it was no big deal. How can a new daughter-in-law not be angry? This is how everyone has been. For many years, a daughter-in-law has managed to become a mother-in-law, please her husband, and give birth to a son.

, why should you be afraid of a county princess without a son? As for how many years the old concubine can live?

Everyone's calculations were very precise, and they felt that this was a business with low risk and high reward rate.

Su Yiqing felt that this was the beginning of chaos in the family, especially in the uncle's house. Normally, the relationship between the two families was pretty good, and they could at least make peace with each other. But once this incident came out, they were afraid that they would fall out completely.

Is it really a good deal to cause discord between brothers and sisters over a marriage?

The Yuanping Mansion has been really in bad luck these days, with bad luck happening again and again.

The theory of innocent souls claiming their lives, which had been suppressed by Qu with great force, became popular again and could no longer be easily suppressed.

Because several people saw Rui'er's ghost floating by the well in the dark night, singing the southern folk songs she liked to hum. Several maids and women said that it was really Rui'er, because only Rui'er could sing.

This kind of folk song full of local customs is spread in Rui'er's hometown. No one else understands the meaning, only the tone.

Everyone who saw it was frightened and screamed for help. The timid ones couldn't get out of bed the next day. This couldn't be suppressed by a few slaps.

The news reached Uncle Yuan Ping. He was not that timid, and he didn't believe in strange powers and gods. He personally took people to guard the place to see if anyone was pretending to be a ghost.

As a result, I kept watch for several days without even seeing a ghost.

As soon as Uncle Yuan Ping left, the ghost appeared again.

Some people say that it is because a group of men have strong yang energy, and Rui'er, a little female ghost, naturally does not dare to come out.

There is no way to go on like this. If the matter spreads out, will Yuan Ping's house still lose face?

Mrs. Cen could only secretly ask people to perform more rituals in the temple and invite eminent monks to come out and chant sutras.

Yet the singing continued.

It can be as short as ten days and a half a month, or as long as once a month. This is really unbearable, especially when people in Mrs. Cen’s yard don’t dare to go out at night.

Although Su Yiqing traveled through time and saw immortals with her own eyes, she remained skeptical about the idea of ​​innocent souls seeking their lives.

On a dark and windy day for a month, she quietly put on a dark dress, activated the ring, and hid nearby to wait.

I thought that just once, if I were lucky enough to encounter it, I could find out the truth. Curiosity killed the cat.

However, just this time, I really don't know whether I should say that I have good luck or bad luck.

As soon as Su Yiqing arrived there, before she could find a corner to hide, she saw a white shadow rushing towards her.

She jumped. She couldn't be too fierce, right?

As a result, the white figure fell down in front of her, and their eyes faced each other. The dark clouds happened to disperse. Su Yiqing saw a pair of dark eyes, but it was a girl about her age. She was dressed in white with her hair disheveled. However, she was indeed a human.

ghost.

At this time, I remembered the noise around me, and someone shouted loudly: "Search for me quickly, it must be nearby."

The situation was so urgent that Su Yiqing didn't have time to think too much. Seeing the footsteps approaching, she gritted her teeth, picked up the little girl on her back, activated the ring, and rushed out of the encirclement like a puff of smoke.

Coming to an unused courtyard, Su Yiqing often wandered around the uncle's house. She knew very well those places were vacant and there were few people there.

Although Bofu has a large population, there are also many places. There are always one or two places where no one is living. This is a small Buddhist hall dedicated to the Buddha. Although there are people cleaning it on time, no one lives in it.

The everlasting lamp in the Buddhist hall is also lit.

Su Yiqing put the little girl down and gasped from exhaustion.

Although the ring is equivalent to a running aid, it is so heavy to carry a little girl about the same age as herself, using her own strength.

Seeing Su Yiqing's appearance, the little girl came back to her senses and said in horror: "You, are you a human or a ghost?"

Su Yiqing found it funny and took a serious look at the little girl. She was dressed as a maid, only holding a pair of small stilts in her hands. She immediately understood and said: "You are the one pretending to be a ghost to scare people, right? You asked me if I was a human or a ghost?"

"

The little girl blinked her big eyes hard and looked straight at Su Yiqing before saying, "I recognize you, you are Miss Ninth."

Su Yiqing's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized that she was in big trouble.

In the flash of lightning just now, she decided to take the little girl away. On the one hand, she wanted to save someone's life, and on the other hand, because the little girl saw her face, if she used a mobility aid to run away in front of her, the little girl would be caught.

Afterwards, there is no guarantee that nothing will be said.

Now after being recognized by the little girl, she suddenly realized that there were endless consequences.

Forget it, the worst option is to run away. During this period, she saved a lot of money. She has hundreds of taels of gold jewelry of various colors, some pearls and jade pendants, and dozens of taels of broken silver. Considering the consumption level here, one tael is enough.

The money is enough for an ordinary family to live for a month. The money in her hand can allow her to live comfortably for several years.

She wanted to leave here, she didn't want to stay in this twisted environment any longer, marry another wealthy family, and live a fighting life like the Xu family and the Qu family.

She originally planned to wait at least a few years for her to grow up and become more familiar with the environment, but if there was an emergency, she didn't mind leaving early. As for Yuanping Uncle Mansion, not many people would care about her.

Of course, even if you want to leave, you have to find a suitable opportunity. You can't just leave silently, otherwise a large number of maids and women will be implicated.

It is best to get lost while viewing lanterns during the Lantern Festival, especially if you are with a group of mistresses and no one is paying attention.

The ideal is beautiful, but unfortunately it is not easy to implement in reality. It is really impossible not to implicate anyone. If the young lady is lost, the maids and women around the young lady will definitely be punished.

Facing Xin'er's big black eyes, Su Yiqing sighed. It was better to ask about the situation before her first, and then asked: "Who are you Rui'er?"

I thought Xin'er wouldn't say it easily, but when asked, she poured the beans into a bamboo basket and told her everything.

Rui'er and Xin'er learned to juggle in a troupe. Two years ago, the troupe offended the powerful and was forced to disband. Rui'er and Xin'er were both bought by the troupe leader, and then sold separately.

Rui'er was sold to the Liu family. Because she was younger, she was sold to the Yuanping uncle's house.

Unexpectedly, they could meet again after two years, so Rui'er and Xin'er were naturally very happy. Their interactions were very secret and no one knew about it, because when Ren Yazi sold them, they had warned no one to know that they were.

They came from the opera troupe. Because the actors were of low status, most people didn't want them. The person was kind-hearted and felt sorry for them, and he couldn't bear to sell them to such a dirty place for just a few bucks.

They were said to have escaped from famine, and they were first taken to a rich family to try their luck and see what their fortunes were, and then Rui'er was bought by the Liu family.

She was bought by the mother who was in charge of Yuan Ping's house.

Both of them are doing well, better than in the opera troupe. Naturally, they don't dare to mention the past, or even recognize each other, lest people know that they are from the opera troupe. The actors are from a lowly background and come from a noble family.

They didn't want a maid like this, so they could only meet in secret, just saying hello and joking occasionally like other maids.

Unexpectedly, not long after the good days, Rui'er died, and her death was so mysterious that the government said everything.
