After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Wu Shilu wanted to slap himself. God, if he had known that, even if he had three more courage, he would not have dared to stop the emperor.

He barely had the courage to report this to the emperor. The Xinyuan Marquisate was sealed, so something big must have happened.

Miss Ning is trapped inside, and no news can be sent out. If His Majesty knew about this, I wonder how worried he would be!

He crawled in front of His Majesty using his hands and feet, not daring to speak, and just kowtowed desperately.

Emperor Zhaoyuan's face turned cold in an instant, and he asked in a cold voice, "What happened?" As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the hall.

Wu Shilu's face was pale, but he didn't dare to hide anything. He just honestly said what the messenger brought back: "I don't know what happened to Xinyuan Marquis's Mansion. Today, they actually issued a ban on the mansion! Before the evening hour, all the doors and gates were closed, and all traffic inside and outside was cut off!"

Emperor Zhao Yuan's eyes instantly turned dark and deep. He had no time to get angry. He just glanced at Wu Shilu coldly and said, "Go find Xiao Ding. Prepare the horses immediately."

Wu Shilu was so frightened by this look, but the matter was urgent that he could not afford to be afraid, so he had to obey the order anxiously.

----

In Guiyi Hall, Luo Miaoyun and Liu Ma sat opposite each other, both with ugly faces. Bai Juan stood trembling beside them.

Ever since Zhu Xiao went out, she seemed to have disappeared and has not returned until now.

Luo Miaoyun knew that something must have happened, and as it was dark and raining heavily, she dared not send anyone out. She could only sit in the room and worry.

She asked Bai Juan: "How are Cangbai Hall and Jiaotong Courtyard? Is everything okay with the young master and young lady?"

Bai Juan said quickly, "Madam, don't worry. The old lady specially asked Feicui to bring a message to say that Master Chengying and Miss Ruyao are all safe. Please don't worry."

Luo Miaoyun slammed the table: "That was a long time ago! I'm asking if it's okay now!"

Bai Juan murmured in silence. How could she answer this? After the scream, Zhu Xiao went out to investigate the situation, but never came back. How could she know the situation outside?

She could only reluctantly comfort the lady: "The young master and the young lady are so smart. The old lady has left someone to watch over them in the courtyard, and there are trustworthy servants. There will be no problem."

Luo Miaoyun was about to explode when another maid in the room came over and reported, "Madam, I have checked everywhere in Guiyi Hall with my men, and there is no suspicious person coming in or out. Now, as you ordered, let the servants gather together and not move around at will."

Mrs. Luo felt relieved after hearing this: "Remember the gates and assign people to guard them. No matter what happens, no one is allowed to go out."

At this time, being a mistress or a lady was of no use. She had no choice but to stay in the house, anxiously waiting for dawn and secretly praying that nothing bad would happen again.

But her prayers were doomed to fail.

A moment later, the outermost gate of Guiyi Hall suddenly shook violently. The little girl who came to report was trembling with teeth: "Madam, Madam, someone is banging on the door! Do you want to open it?"

Luo Miaoyun was so panicked that she grabbed Liu's mother's hand and shouted in fear: "You can't open the door!"

Bai Juan still managed to keep some rationality: "Madam, what if it is Zhu Xiao..."

"No, you can't open the door!" Aunt Liu interrupted her firmly: "Why bother with red silk at this moment? For the safety of the lady, no one is allowed to open the door!"

Her resolute attitude immediately overwhelmed Bai Juan, and Luo Miaoyun subconsciously relied on her wet nurse.

Bai Juan was extremely worried, but she knew she couldn't persuade the man, so she could only stay by his side in silence.

Another maid guarding the door ran in and cried, "Madam! There's someone crying outside the door!"

With just one sentence, everyone in the room felt as if they were falling into an icy cave, and their whole bodies were chilled...

The cry was sobbing, thin and long, like the wailing of a woman who was sad and desperate.

Luo Miaoyun was speechless for a moment, so it was Liu's mother who stepped forward and asked, "Did she tell me who she is?"

The little girl shook her head like a rattle and begged, "Mammy, that sound is like a ghost crying. We really, really don't dare to ask..."

Mother Liu supported Mrs. Luo's shoulders and tried hard to dispel the fear in everyone's hearts: "I'm afraid it's someone pretending to be a ghost. You two should go and ask him together."

Bai Juan and the girl looked at each other, but seeing that the lady was half leaning on Matron Liu and had no intention of speaking to stop them, they could only bite the bullet and go out.

The heavy rain fell on the umbrella with a crackling sound, hitting the umbrella and making it fall all over the place. As soon as I stepped into the rain, the only sound in my ears was the whistling wind and rain.

Bai Juan had only taken a dozen steps when her shoes and socks became soaked.

The little girl, trembling all over, led her to the outer door. Amid the heavy rain and strong wind, faint crying sounds could still be heard through the crack of the door.

Baijuan's hairs suddenly stood up!

She took a few deep breaths before she mustered up the courage to ask, "Who's outside the door?"

But the man seemed to ignore her and continued crying. Bai Juan raised her voice a little: "Who are you?"

The crying sounded like that of a woman or a child. It was intermittent and vague in the stormy night, making people feel creepy.

"Who are you? Stop crying and speak!"

Bai Juan seemed to hear the man reply, but the wind and rain were too loud and she couldn't hear clearly. She was anxious and subconsciously moved closer and put her ear against the door, trying to hear clearly: "What did you say? Say it again!"

"woo woo woo woo……"

The man seemed to have seen Bai Juan's movements through the door, and suddenly stuck to the door. Through the door, the crying voice went straight into Bai Juan's mind: "Mother... Mother... Mother!"

"Ah——!" Bai Juan screamed as if a huge bomb hit her head. She was so scared that she sat down on the ground and kicked backwards.

When the little girl saw her like this, she was so frightened that she dropped her umbrella, turned around and ran inside, shouting, "Ghost!"

This time everyone was shocked.

Bai Juan was so frightened that she didn't even notice that the umbrella above her head was gone. She just sat there exposed in the open space in the yard, allowing the heavy rain to soak her from head to toe in an instant.

She gasped for air, and after an unknown amount of time, she realized that she could hardly open her eyes due to the rain. It was a maid who bravely came over and pulled her out of the water: "Girl, you are as beautiful as a flower, you can't stand being rained on like this!"

Bai Juan was in a daze and could hardly hear what she was saying. The voice of her mother kept circling in her mind. That voice sounded a bit like Zhu Xiao's! But if she listened carefully, it didn't sound like her.

It was not until she was sent back to the room and her sister covered her head with a felt blanket and wiped the rain off her head with a cotton towel that Bai Juan came to her senses.

She looked up and saw Luo Miaoyun and Liu Mama snuggling together. Standing far away, with fear and taboo on their faces, she asked her, "You, what did you hear?"

Obviously, her and the little girl's reactions of shouting ghosts scared away all their remaining courage.

Bai Juan unconsciously clenched her teeth because of the cold. She shivered for a long time, her eyes were wide open, and she looked as if she had lost her mind:

"I heard... that thing was screaming for its mother!"
