Luo Miaoyun's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but take a step back. She grabbed Aunt Liu's hand in panic, "Mom! What should I do? Is there really a ghost?"

Mother Liu's body also trembled, and her lips quivered: "No... No. Someone must be playing tricks!"

"What should we do now?" Luo Miaoyun was panicked.

Madam Liu swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and managed to come back to her senses: "Madam, we can't move. We can't move, otherwise we will fall into that person's trap."

Luo Miaoyun repeated unconsciously: "No."

Bai Juan, who was sitting at the side, suddenly moved her eyes, and two lines of hot tears flowed down her cold and blue face. She said in a sad voice: "Madam - that person might be Zhu Xiao!"

Luo Miaoyun was stunned. Zhu Xiao... She and Bai Juan were her most trusted maids. Although Zhu Xiao had a hot temper, she treated her wholeheartedly.

When Madam Liu heard this, she said sternly, "So what if it's Zhu Xiao? Do you want Madam to risk her life to save her at this time?"

Bai Juan didn't say anything else, just silently looked at the lady with tears in her eyes. Luo Miaoyun looked reluctant, and she looked at the wet nurse hesitantly: "Do you want to take another look?"

Mother Liu flatly refused: "Madam, let alone the possibility that it might be a thief pretending to be her, even if it is really Zhu Xiao, it is her blessing to be loyal to the Lord."

"What's more, even if something really happened, it was the maid's own fault because of her carelessness!"

After hearing this, Bai Juan stopped arguing and just lowered her head and wrapped the blanket tighter around herself.

Although there were many people in the room at this time, they were all in panic, and a strange atmosphere spread in the house.

Mother Liu winked at Luo Miaoyun, turned around and helped her back to the inner room.

A little maid came over with a bowl of hot ginger soup and said softly, "Sister, drink some. It's not convenient to take a bath now. Drink a little to warm your body."

Bai Juan was stunned for a moment, then took the bowl of soup and drank it in one gulp.

The little girl was a little scared, but also a little curious, so she asked, "Sister Bai, is there really a ghost crying outside?"

She twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying: "Maybe, maybe."

Suddenly the two people stopped talking and there was a sound!

"Open the door!"

Outside Guiyi Hall, there was a loud bang on the door and a strong male voice shouted.

Baijuan's ears suddenly stood up and she turned her head to look in the direction of the courtyard gate.

Then the man shouted again: "Open the door! Someone is coming from Song Shoutang!" There was an even more violent knock on the door.

"Song Shou Tang!" The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sister! They are from the old lady's place."

Bai Juan didn't know where she got the strength from, she stood up, threw off the blanket, and ran to the yard.

The little maid quickly opened an umbrella and chased after him.

When we got to the courtyard, the voice was even clearer and louder. We heard three or four people talking to each other outside the door. The man in the lead took a breath and shouted, "We are from Songshou Hall. We are here on the orders of the old lady. Please open the door, madam!"

Bai Juan grabbed the bolt and asked loudly, "Who is coming?"

Someone outside the door seemed to recognize her voice, and a slightly immature voice asked, "But Sister Bai Juan? I'm Meng Xi!"

Meng Xi! Bai Juan reacted instantly. He was the youngest son of Meng Zhonghe, the chief steward of the mansion. Meng Zhonghe's mother was the old lady's maid, so he must be quite good.

She didn't have time to think about it, and asked anxiously: "Meng Ge'er, is there anyone outside the door?"

"Is there anyone?" Meng Xi asked in surprise, "Sister Bai, it's so dark, where is there anyone?"

Bai Juan gritted her teeth and said, "Wait!"

She turned and ran back into the house, trembling as she took the copper key to the outer door and came out, saying to the little maid, "Go and ask a maid to bring a light."

Having said that, he made up his mind and went straight to open the gate. When the little girl and the old woman arrived, Bai Juan had already opened the gate with a loud noise!

The little girl's heart was beating in her throat.

Bai Juan shone the light outside and saw four or five young men in shorts standing outside the door. The man in the lead was tall and carried a weapon.

Meng Xi leaned over from behind and looked over, and said in surprise: "Sister Bai, what's wrong with you!"

It turned out that Bai Juan was soaking wet, her hair was wet and messy, and she looked very miserable. She had no time to care about this, so she just hurriedly said, "Hurry up and check! Is Zhu Xiao outside?"

The tall man took the torch and managed to illuminate the area within ten feet in front of the courtyard gate. "Miss Bai, although we don't know who Zhu Xiao is, we didn't see anyone along the way when we came here in such a heavy storm."

Bai Juan still couldn't believe it: "How could it be? Her voice just now seemed to be nearby!"

The man said helplessly, "Miss Bai, there is indeed no one here." He held up the lamp and walked around the wall, saying solemnly, "I am here on the orders of the old lady to take her to Songshou Hall."

Bai Juan was surprised and asked, "Is it now?"

Meng Xi said, "Yes, right now. The brothers who are going to pick up the young master and young lady are on their way. The old lady sent me here specially to reassure the Marquis."

Bai Juan was worried about Zhu Xiao again, so she had to go back to look for Luo Miaoyun.

She was dripping with water from head to toe, so she naturally couldn't enter the lady's inner chamber like that, so she had to call another maid to go in.

When Luo Miaoyun heard that Bai Juan had opened the door privately, she was angry at first, but then she heard that the old lady had sent several strong servants over, and she didn't have time to be angry for the moment and hurried out of the boudoir.

Bai Juan stood at a distance in the corridor and saluted her. She then said to the maid beside her, "Qing Ling, quickly help Madam dress up and change her clothes. She should get a shorter skirt and thick-soled shoes."

Luo Miaoyun asked anxiously, "Will the old lady really let me go over now?"

A familiar young man was standing next to Bai Juan. Hearing what she said, he knelt down and replied, "I am Meng Xi, and I dare not lie to the Madam. The old lady did ask me to come and pick her up."

Luo Miaoyun recognized him. While waiting for Qing Ling to get her clothes and shoes, she asked, "What did the old lady ask us to do? Have the young master and young lady arrived yet?"

Meng Xi shook his head and said, "We follow orders, but we don't know the reasons."

Luo Miaoyun packed up very quickly, but when she reached the doorstep, the howling wind urged the rainstorm to rage, and the flowers and trees in the yard swayed and rustled. She hesitated again and was unable to take a step forward.

Seeing this, Meng Xi said, "Madam, the old lady asked you to bring your close relatives with you."

Hearing this, Luo Miaoyun felt relieved. She glanced at Bai Juan with disheveled hair in embarrassment, and then said, "Let Madam Liu accompany me! Let Bai Juan wash up and rest."

When Matron Liu heard this, she suddenly felt nervous for some reason. She felt as if her steps were weighed down by a thousand pounds and for a moment she did not dare to move forward.

But the man outside had urged her two or three times, and Luo Miaoyun was anxious to take her with her, so Madam Liu had to force herself to ignore the strange feeling in her heart and helped the young lady walk out.

As soon as they stepped into the wind and rain, it was like they had suddenly arrived in another world, and the guards who had originally surrounded them suddenly moved away very far away.

Those few lights were almost pulled all over the place in the dark storm.

She immediately regretted coming out, but it was impossible to turn back now, so she had to stick closer to the person next to her and rely on that warmth to draw a little courage.

Nanny Liu suddenly felt something and turned around to look in the direction of Guiyi Hall. After just a few steps, the magnificent courtyard was completely hidden in the night rain.

In the dark ink color, a white shadow flashed by quickly!

A hoarse sound came from Aunt Liu's throat, and the hairs on her back suddenly stood up. Her scalp felt numb. She seemed to have heard that sound too!
