After rebirth, I became the villain’s sister-in-law Bai Yueguang

Wen Chaoyan tightened his grip on her waist, "What are you shouting for? You should call me husband, have you forgotten? Huh?"

Jiang Wancheng noticed some changes in his behavior with a red face. She immediately sat up and wanted to run, but was held down by him again.

And intentionally stick close to her.

His eyes were locked on hers deeply and solemnly, as if if she didn't scream, he would kill her on the spot.

Jiang Wancheng felt weak all over when he looked at her, and she quickly called out again, "Husband..."

Wen Chaoyan raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, holding the back of her head and moving her towards him.

After a strong peck, he let her go with a sigh: "My lady, you haven't finished your breakfast yet. If you don't eat now, it will get cold."

How dare Jiang Wancheng provoke him again?

He quickly returned to his stool, picked up the chopsticks, and took a few more bites.

If she keeps dawdling, she might just have to eat lunch!

Wen Chaoyan held his chin and just stared at her from the side.

Jiang Wancheng felt uncomfortable because of the stare, so he asked him, "Are you not on duty today?"

Wen Chaoyan: "The commander-in-chief has given me three days of marriage leave. If there is nothing urgent, I will just accompany you these days."

Jiang Wancheng bit the spoon and paused. Three days?

No wonder he looks so idle.

Then she would find him something to do, so that he wouldn't have to stare at her all day.

"Have Erlang and Yajie settled down? Have you visited them? There are a lot of things going on in the backyard, and I'm new here. How many servants did you have here before? Do you know the number?"

Wen Chaoyan said seriously, "Erlang lives in the Shuzhu Courtyard of the second courtyard, and Yajie lives in the Qinhua Courtyard of the third courtyard. Before I took over this house, it was an abandoned and haunted courtyard. I came in and 'caught' the ghost, and only bought five or six old maids and a few gatekeepers. There is no other manpower. We are just waiting for you to move in and take over and arrange everything."

The amount of information was too much, so Jiang Wancheng took a while to digest it.

First up, "Haunted house?"

Wen Chaoyan curled his lips, "Do you really think that the Queen Mother did a good deed by giving me this mansion that is more than five times larger than Bishuiju?"

Jiang Wancheng had not been out to see the house yet, so his guess about the house's outline was only that it was roughly larger than Bishuiju, but he did not expect that it would be more than five times larger!

When Wen Chaoyan first got this house, almost all of his colleagues laughed at him, saying that he had taken on a hot potato.

It turns out that the house is haunted, and has been haunted for seven or eight years.

Even the Jinyiwei were dispatched to investigate the matter, but their investigations always ended in vain.

Later, no one bought this house from the court, and it remained vacant.

Even if it was given out as a reward, another family would soon move out and the house would become empty.

Four years ago, a fire broke out in this house, so the Queen Mother took it back and never touched it again.

Until this time, Wen Chaoyan took the initiative to ask for a house as a reward, and the Queen Mother gave it to him.

"I have checked the files. This house used to be the residence of a minister surnamed Qi. Eight years ago, a massacre occurred in this house. All 67 people in the house died at the hands of the mad minister. Later, the minister also committed suicide. From then on, no one in the house survived."

"Later, there was a haunted incident, and the Royal Guards didn't find anything. We only knew that some supernatural things did happen here."

In broad daylight, Jiang Wancheng shivered violently.

"You, don't scare me..."

Wen Chaoyan couldn't help but smile when he saw her face turned pale with fright.

"What are you afraid of? Who cares? I've caught him anyway."

Seeing that she had finished eating, Wen Chaoyan picked up a handkerchief beside him and wiped her mouth, then took her hand and the two of them sat down at the table by the window.

Wen Chaoyan first poured a cup of tea for Jiang Wancheng, and then continued slowly: "Two months ago, after I got this house, I invited Brother Gu and Li Yan to live here with me. As expected, there is no 'ghost' in this world that can hide its hands and feet."

They came specifically to catch ghosts, so they were naturally very careful. At the slightest sign of trouble, the three of them would pounce.

The 'ghost' was nearly frightened to death by the three of them.

Jiang Wancheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Caught?"

Wen Chaoyan pinched her face and said, "We caught them. They are just playing tricks."

Jiang Wancheng: "Who can pretend for eight years? Is it another Qi Qilang?"

Wen Chaoyan shook his head, took a sip of tea and continued, "No. It was an old servant of the Qi family who was out on business. He happened to be out of town and came back a few days after the tragedy. He was a loyal servant and always felt that there was something fishy going on in the tragedy, so he refused to leave the old house. He lived in this house with his wife and children, pretending to be a ghost at night and going out to work during the day to earn some extra money. The family lived like neither human nor ghost, which was really pitiful."

Jiang Wancheng was a little confused. There was such a thing in Beijing. Why had she never heard of it in her previous life?

Or maybe, because Wen Chaoyan did not get this house in the previous life, the truth about the haunting has never been discovered by the world.

This haunted house has always been there, but there are so many busy things going on in the capital that no one talks about it to her?

Jiang Wancheng sighed in his heart, "Then his whole family hid in this house. When the Jinyiwei investigated according to the order, did they really not find any clues?"

Wen Chaoyan: "This house has a secret room, which the Jinyiwei didn't know about. In addition, their family is haunted and has set up traps, so it's not difficult to cover it up. What's more, I suspect that the so-called investigation was just a formality. Perhaps no one wants the truth here to be discovered."

Jiang Wancheng's expression changed slightly, "You mean... the Queen Mother?"

Wen Chaoyan raised his finger and said, "It may not be the Queen Mother. Eight years ago, the late Emperor had not yet passed away. However, it is definitely related to the court secrets."

Jiang Wancheng was horrified. "Then why did the Queen Mother give you this house now? Does she want you to find out the truth about why this house is haunted, or not?"

Wen Chaoyan: "Perhaps, she really thinks this house is haunted, just like everyone else does?"

Therefore, rewarding him is like giving him a favor and throwing him a hot potato.

There was no loss for the Queen Mother.

If Wen Chaoyan's family was scared away by a "ghost" afterwards, it would be their own business and the Queen Mother could not be blamed.

The people in this royal family are always calculating, thinking that everyone is an ant or a pawn in their hands.

Jiang Wancheng: "You said that there was a fire from the sky here four years ago. Was it really a fire from the sky?"

Wen Chaoyan: "It was done by the loyal servant's family. At that time, the Queen Mother frequently gave houses to people as rewards. Although these people were eventually scared away, they were still very annoyed. The loyal servant's family did this."

Jiang Wancheng was puzzled. "Since they want to investigate the truth about the Qi family, have they really found anything? Also, where are they now after you caught them? Are you going to make this clear to the world?"

Wen Chaoyan was about to continue chatting with her when there was a knock on the door from outside. "Miss, it's Madam Liu and Madam Zhao."
