Chapter 326 Haunted
The backyard of the Hou Mansion.
Xu Jing drank a bowl of strong calming tea and finally fell asleep.
Today, she had taken a quick glance at the restaurant and was genuinely startled by the face that looked so remarkably like Lin Wantang. Afterwards, she sent someone to the Lin residence to inquire, but the servants only said that the fourth young master, who had accompanied the army on the northern expedition, had returned, and that the fifth young lady was still missing.
Only then did she feel a little relieved.
Lin Wanfu and Lin Wantang were born of the same mother, so it made sense that they looked similar. Perhaps I had mistaken them for the wrong ones.
It was already autumn in Shengjing. At night, the autumn wind blew, making a whistling sound against the window frames. In the second half of the night, it began to drizzle.
The autumn wind and rain make everything seem bleak and lonely.
Xu Jing was awakened by a gust of cold wind. The autumn wind wrapped in drizzle blew open the window, making the table by the window wet.
"Frost red! Frost red!"
Xu Jing called out a few times, but Shuanghong, who was on guard, didn't come in, so she had to get up, put on some clothes and go to close the window.
Unexpectedly, just as I walked to the window, a white shadow flashed by in the yard outside.
"what!"
She screamed in fright and cold sweat broke out on her back, but when she looked again, the yard was empty. There were only leaves swaying in the wind and withered flowers blown to the ground. There was no white shadow at all.
"Frost red! Frost red!"
Xu Jing became a little panicked and called Shuanghong several times, but Shuanghong, who was sleeping in the compartment, was like dead. No matter how she called, there was no response.
"You damn girl, you sleep like a pig!"
Xu Jing walked a few steps to the couch in the compartment and pulled back the frosty red quilt.
A strong smell of blood rushed into her nostrils. Under the quilt, his head and face were covered in blood, and he was dead on the bed, his face unrecognizable.
"what!"
Xu Jing screamed and fell to the ground with a thud. Her hands were covered in sticky stuff, some red, some white, with a pungent, fishy smell.
"Shuanghong! Someone come! Someone come! Someone's dead! Dead!"
Xu Jing crawled out, shouting as she tried to pull the door. But just as she opened the door, something grabbed her foot. She turned around and saw Shuang Hong rolling down from the bed, grabbing her ankles with her bloody hands, and screaming:
"Miss, save me! Save me!"
His hair was disheveled and frosty red, with bright red blood still oozing out of it, and large patches of white, sticky stuff like tofu pudding hanging from his head.
"Ah! Let me go! Shuanghong, you are doomed! Let me go!"
Xu Jing kicked Shuanghong's hand hard, but she clamped her ankle tightly. Her cold hand, as if it had just crawled out of an ice cellar, penetrated through Xu Jing's pants and went straight into her bones.
"Shuanghong? Miss, I'm Qingshuang! Miss, it hurts so much, my head was smashed... Wuwu... Miss... save me..."
"Qingshuang? What Qingshuang? I don't know you!"
Xu Jing was so frightened that her eyes almost popped out of her head.
"Miss, how could you not remember Qingshuang? I ran away from home with you and encountered robbers on the way. Miss, someone hit my head with a stone. Miss, it hurts so much! What is this? Is it blood or brain matter? Miss, please don't abandon me!"
Qingshuang cried miserably, pulling Xu Jing's ankles and climbing up on her little by little.
Xu Jing finally realized that Qingshuang was Lin Wantang's personal maid, who had run away from home with Lin Wantang. If she wasn't Shuanghong, then who was she?
ghost!?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Xu Jing's mind exploded with a buzzing sound.
"Ah! I'm not! I'm not your lady, you've got the wrong person!"
She used all her strength to push Qingshuang away and ran into the yard screaming.
As soon as she left the yard, she saw a white figure with disheveled hair floating straight towards her from under the tree. His face was pale, and he stretched out his sharp fingers to grab at her, shouting:
"Xu Jing, you killed both us, the master and the servant. I want you to pay with your life!"
"what!"
The visual impact was so strong that Xu Jing's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Hey! Hey!"
The female ghost in front of him lifted her pointed fingernails and lifted her messy hair, revealing Lin Wanfu's miserable face. He kicked Xu Jing twice and said regretfully:
"Why are you so frightened? I just started the performance, my fingernails haven't even touched her, and she's already fainted! I spent an hour putting on makeup for nothing."
In the room, Qingshuang, who was crawling on the ground, stood up, dusted off her clothes, walked out and stood beside Xu Jing.
"Oh my god!" In the dim night, Lin Wanfu was shocked when he suddenly saw his sister's ferocious appearance. He patted his chest with his fingers raised, "Xiao Wu, you scared me to death!"
Lin Wantang took out a handkerchief and wiped her face, which became even more frightening with the red and white streaks.
Lin Wanfu couldn't bear to look directly at her, so he pointed at Xu Jing lying on the ground with his orchid finger and said hatefully:
"This bitch looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious! Sister, pretending to be a ghost to scare her is too easy for her. If you dare to harm my sister, I will just kill her!"
Lin Wantang snorted coldly.
"Qingshuang died such a tragic death. Wouldn't it be too easy for her to just kill this bitch? I want her to live a life worse than death, with nothing she wants or desires fulfilled! I want her to lose everything and be cursed by everyone! Only then can I offset the suffering Qingshuang has endured."
"Okay! Whatever my sister says is what it is! Fourth brother will help you! Sister, what did you add to her soup just now? It's so spicy!"
"Some hallucinogenic powder."
……
The next morning.
Qin was woken up by the servants and hurried to Xu Jing's yard. Before she even entered the door, she heard her crying:
"There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"
"what happened?"
When Qin entered the inner room, she saw a mess on the floor. Xu Jing was wrapped in a quilt, hiding in a corner of the bed, crying and making a fuss. None of the maids in the room could get close to her.
As soon as her personal maid Shuanghong approached, Xu Jing swung a pillow at her.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Frost was so frightened that his eyes were full of tears and his face was full of grievance and confusion, but he didn't dare to take a step forward.
"Jing'er? It's your aunt. Be good and tell your aunt what happened?"
"Aunt, there's a ghost!"
Xu Jing threw herself into Qin's arms.
Qin and the maids in the room looked at each other in bewilderment. She patted Xu Jing on the back and said softly:
"Jing'er, how could there be a ghost in broad daylight? It rained heavily and was windy last night. Maybe you are seeing things."
"No, no, auntie, there really is a ghost! There are two female ghosts, one lying on Shuanghong's bed, and the other standing in the yard. Auntie, they, they want to strangle Jing'er to death!"
Xu Jing was terrified, still recovering from the illusion of last night. She hugged Qin and yelled loudly, fearing that Qin would not believe her. She pointed at the couch where Shuanghong slept and said tremblingly:
"The quilt and bed were covered in blood and brains. Wuwuwu, aunt, I didn't lie!"
Qin frowned and asked her personal nanny to go forward and check.
The couch in the compartment was clean, without any of the pickled things Xu Jing mentioned.
Seeing the nanny come in and shake her head, Xu Jing jumped off the bed and yelled:
"How could there be none? Clearly..."
She wanted to go and check it out herself, but she was extremely frightened. After hesitating for a while, her glare flew directly towards Shuanghong. She took a step forward and slapped her hard in the face.
"Are you pretending to be a ghost to scare me?"
