Madam Liu looked back at Xiao Xing and said, "Go and light a lantern for the young lady. Let's go over there and see what happened."
Xiao Xing quickly agreed and soon came out holding a lantern.
When the master and his two servants arrived at the main courtyard, his second uncle and second aunt had already arrived with their people.
Qin Antai cried so hard that his face was covered with snot and tears. He grabbed Liu Yinghua's sleeve tightly, hunched over, and huddled behind his parents.
Qin Shu looked at their family coldly.
When they turned to look at me, I quickly changed my expression to one of concern, "Uncle and Aunt, why are you here? What happened?"
She looked at the upside-down cornucopia at the door and said sadly, "How did this cornucopia get thrown at the door? Stepbrother, even if you don't want to burn paper money for your parents, you shouldn't throw this cornucopia around. If you don't want to keep vigil, just tell me and I'll do it from now on."
Qin Antai poked his head out from behind Liu Yinghua and shouted, "It wasn't me who threw it!"
Qin Shu didn't listen to his explanation, let go of Xiao Xing's hand, walked quickly into the room, carefully picked up the treasure bowl and put it back where it was.
Then he walked to Qingyue who had fainted on the ground, covered his mouth and exclaimed, "Ah, isn't this Qingyue?"
When Matron Liu stepped forward and took a look, she immediately noticed that the little girl was in dishevel and she became furious.
She took a step forward, raised her hand and slapped Qingyue hard on the face, yelling, "Bitch! You did such a lewd thing in front of the master and mistress's funeral hall, aren't you afraid that the heaven will not be able to see it and take you away, bitch!"
With a crisp "pop" sound, Qingyue slowly opened her eyes.
Before she could see the person in front of her clearly, Qingyue had already opened her mouth and screamed, "Ahhhh ghost!"
She pushed Madam Liu away with all her strength, and rolled and crawled to the front of the altar, where she prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed loudly, crying, "Master, please spare me, Madam, please spare me! I know I was wrong. It was Second Master, yes, Second Master!"
Qingyue cried bitterly, "I came to bring hot soup to the Second Master, but it was the Second Master who pulled me to accompany him..."
She raised her head and saw the treasure bowl returned to its original position. Her eyes suddenly widened and she spoke quickly and urgently, "It was the Second Master who pulled me and said that I was pretty and wanted to take me as a concubine... He held me and I was scared, afraid of being seen. The Second Master said it was so late and the weather was so cold, only ghosts would come..."
Speaking of ghosts, Qingyue's body trembled violently again, "Wrong, wrong, it's not a ghost... It's not a ghost! It's not me, it's the Second Master, it's all the Second Master..."
Liu Yinghua rushed forward, pointed at Qingyue's nose and cursed: "Bitch! Stop slandering me!"
Qingyue's eyes flashed with fanatical light. She raised a finger and made a loud "hush" sound towards Liu Yinghua.
Her eyes were very bright, and a strange smile appeared on her face. She said mysteriously: "I saw a ghost, I saw it, there really is a ghost!"
Qingyue mumbled incoherently, her eyes rolling around, "There really is a ghost..."
"This basin suddenly flew up by itself and smashed towards the Second Master."
"And this incense burner..."
"Where's the incense burner?" Qingyue suddenly jumped up, lowered her head and walked around, waving her hands and gesturing, saying: "Incense burner, ah, yes, the incense burner, it flew off the table."
As he was talking, he started to giggle again, "It flew, it flew! It flew down and smashed into pieces! There's a ghost! It's the master and the mistress, they're back, hahahaha..."
Then she started crying again, "It's not me, it's Second Master! It's Second Master, he held my hand and wouldn't let me leave..."
Liu Yinghua was so angry that her face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Come here! Capture this treacherous slave and beat her to death with sticks!"
"Second aunt."
Qin Shu quickly spoke up to stop them, "According to the laws of the Great Zhou, servants in the mansion cannot be beaten or killed at will unless they have done something wrong."
She looked at the crazy Qingyue and said, "My stepbrother is now the master of the East Mansion. Since my stepbrother likes Qingyue, it is her blessing..."
Before Qin Shu could finish, Qin Antai, who was hiding behind Liu Yinghua, jumped out and shouted, "I don't like her! Look at her now, she's clearly a lunatic!"
As soon as the words fell, the people around him all had different expressions: Isn't it said that scholars pass down poetry and etiquette from generation to generation?
The second master of the West Mansion has always regarded himself as a scholar, and always talks about the rules of the West Mansion.
How could a son be raised to be so heartless, ungrateful and shameless?
Although the master and mistress of the East Mansion are merchants, they are very kind to their servants.
They were truly enlightened today; they never expected that there are such people in the world!
Qin Shu was a little embarrassed and said, "Stepbrother, this is in front of our parents' spirits. Our parents are watching everything you do."
When he heard the words "Dad and Mom are watching", Qin Antai immediately remembered the strange scene that had just happened, and the hairs on his body immediately stood up.
He yelled "Ah!" and quickly hid behind Liu Yinghua. He pulled Liu Yinghua's sleeve and shouted, "Mom, let's go home. I don't want to be here! I don't want to be their son. This mansion is full of evil. I want to go back..."
A crisp "pop" sound interrupted Qin Antai's words.
Uncle Qin Jingchang's face turned pale. He looked at Qin Shu fiercely, then lowered his voice and shouted, "Shut up!"
He ordered with a cold face: "Lock this slave girl in the woodshed first, and we will deal with her when the day breaks."
Qi Wu, the steward of the West Palace, came over and whispered something in Qin Jingchang's ear.
Qin Jingchang was stunned and looked at Qi Wu in shock.
Qi Wu replied in a low voice: "He is not awake yet, in the duty room at Chuihua Gate."
The two big brothers of the Cao Gang who were guarding the warehouse also changed their shifts at this time. They came to the front yard after hearing the noise. Seeing that it was very lively here, they hurried forward and asked, "Is there a ghost here too?"
Qin Jingchang's face darkened and he was about to speak.
The tall brother of the Cao Gang said, "We also encountered this just now."
As soon as the words fell, a suppressed exclamation was heard from the surrounding area.
Some timid servants and maids hugged each other and involuntarily moved away from the mourning hall.
But the eldest brother was still not satisfied, "San'er and I were talking, suddenly!"
His tone suddenly became heavier and he paused, which immediately caused another round of exclamations.
The elder brother looked at the girls around him and continued, "Guess what? I heard a series of light footsteps, swish, swish... coming from the garden in this direction."
He stared, bent his waist, and imitated his companions, saying: "I said, there is someone! San'er asked where there is someone, where there is someone? Then, something suddenly moved the flower branch."
He just said that it was not scary enough, and as he spoke he scratched the dry branch next to him.
This immediately caused an even louder cry of surprise.
Another Cao Gang elder brother continued, "Maybe Shopkeeper Qin and Mrs. Qin are worried about Miss Qin, so they came back to check on her."
