Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

"Yes!" Wang Xifeng chatted with the other party through the window, "But I am not very obedient. So she asked you to come, just to make me obedient."

The other party fell silent: "..."

"To put it in a metaphorical way, she just wanted to use something against me.

"If you really jump in, I guess someone will surround the house in a minute and you won't be able to take action.

"Or I could just kill you right in front of me to silence you, or something like that..."

Wang Xifeng said it lightly, but the man was sweating profusely, and even cried when he replied:

"I don't want to die yet..."

"Then you should leave quickly... Oh, no..." Wang Xifeng deliberately hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I think you may not be able to leave.

"My grandmother has always been very good at planning. She must have ambushed people long ago. You can't get out of this Paradise Temple at all. You will definitely be caught."

The other party was in despair and sat down on the ground with a thud.

"How about you come in and hold me hostage with a knife?" Wang Xifeng gave him an idea, "Then just say you want money.

"Then you can run away. My reputation won't be ruined."

The person outside the window had collapsed to the ground, unable to utter a single sound.

Wang Xifeng held her chin in her hand and thought wildly as she said, "But you can't run far. My second uncle is the governor of the Beijing camp. He will definitely be able to catch you and kill you quietly.

"Besides, I am now a concubine and have been destined to enter the Eastern Palace. I was chosen by the Emperor.

"Your presence in my family temple will definitely damage my reputation.

"Even if it's just to maintain the dignity of pretending to be deaf and dumb in front of the emperor, he will not let you live.

"unless……"

The person outside the window got up, squatted down, and asked bravely, "Unless what?"

"Unless you are an eyewitness to another case. In that case, you will be under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture. The current prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture has no relationship with my second uncle, so you will have a chance to escape."

Wang Xifeng was smiling.

The person outside the window understood almost instantly, his face changed, and he gritted his teeth: "You two are fighting each other, and you are both using my life as a bet!"

"As soon as I see your skill in prying open doors, I know you have been doing this for a long time." Wang Xifeng sneered, "You take money from people and help them get rid of their misfortunes. You should know the rules.

"Now, I can either call someone to arrest you and silence you, or let this matter pass quietly. It won't do any harm to me.

"If you listen to me, I can try to find a way out for you.

“You choose.

"I can do it."

As she spoke, Wang Xifeng yawned and stretched.

The person outside the window clenched his fists and hammered the wall twice, then gritted his teeth and whispered, "I choose to be a witness."

No surprises.

Wang Xifeng uttered an "oh" and whispered, "Then find a place to hide, and I will cause chaos in the temple at four o'clock in the morning.

"When the time comes, go to the back door, pretend to be someone who just came in, and shout a few times at the top of your lungs. You will probably be tied up, so don't struggle..."

He continued speaking like this for a few more sentences.

The man outside the window agreed, and then asked cautiously: "What if you don't admit it then?"

"...I wonder if you asked my grandmother a question when you took the money from her. What if she wants to kill you to silence you?" Wang Xifeng glanced at the window.

The person outside the window said awkwardly: "I'm leaving now."

Wang Xifeng then fell down again, and in a moment she relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

There was a night owl standing on the branch outside the window.

A black cat jumped onto the windowsill and lay down quietly.

It was four o'clock in the morning.

Wang Xifeng and Ping'er were both sleeping soundly when suddenly there was a commotion outside. They woke up in shock, rubbed their eyes, looked at each other, and smiled knowingly at each other.

Ping'er hurriedly got up, straightened her clothes, opened the door a crack, and looked out.

Wang Yi's servant happened to run into the yard with his head bare. Standing in the corridor, he saw that the lights were on in Wang Xifeng and Wang Jialuan's rooms and a maid was peeking out, so he bowed first.

Ping Erh asked quietly, "What happened? Did I hear someone shouting 'A thief came in?'"

The servant bowed his head and replied, "Yes. A thief broke into the abbot's room. The two young masters have already rushed over. It has nothing to do with the girls. Girls, just go to sleep."

Ping'er said "oh" and shrank back and closed the door.

Seeing that their door was closed, a nanny appeared from Wang Jialuan's room, walked quickly to the servant and asked a question, and the servant answered in a low voice.

The nanny was so scared that she staggered and covered her mouth with her hands!

The servant bowed his head and took his leave, leaving the courtyard.

The nanny took a few deep breaths before she calmed down and returned to Wang Jialuan's room with a normal look on her face.

Ping Er watched through the crack in the door and turned back to tell Wang Xifeng, "That nanny was nearly paralyzed by fear. It seems that the matter over there has been settled."

Wang Xifeng was sleeping soundly. Hearing this, she hummed, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Ping'er smiled and was about to blow out the lamp and go to bed when she suddenly heard the door open outside. She hurriedly peeked in and saw Wang Jialuan and her maid walking towards her curiously.

"Miss, Miss Luan is here!" Ping'er hurriedly turned around to report.

Wang Xifeng didn't move.

Ping Erh had no choice but to tidy up her dress. When Wang Jialuan knocked on the door, she held up a candle, opened the door with a smile, and asked in a low voice:

"It's the middle of the night, why aren't you sleeping yet, Miss?"

"I heard the noise outside and was a little scared. I wanted to come over and sleep with my sister." Wang Jialuan said as she stepped into the bathroom and even looked around.

Seeing Wang Xifeng sleeping so soundly, she couldn't help biting her lip, took a step forward, and pushed her hard: "Sister, sister, can I sleep with you?"

Wang Xifeng opened her eyes dazedly and looked at her. She hummed vaguely, squeezed in, and said vaguely, "Okay, sister, go to sleep..."

Then he fell asleep again.

Wang Jialuan pouted, kicked off her shoes reluctantly, and lay down next to Wang Xifeng.

So, they are here to check on me?!

Ping Er immediately became angry, and a fake smile appeared on her face. She looked at Wang Jialuan's maid and said:

"It's just a small clean room, just right for two people. Why do we have to squeeze in? Three people can sleep there too.

"But if you are included, there will be four of us, then we will have to let the masters sleep, and the two of us will sit here for the night."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jialuan quickly got up again and nodded, "I forgot about this! Tomorrow's training session is the most important, we can't neglect it.

"I'd better take the girl back so that everyone can have a good night's sleep."

Ping Er smiled falsely: "Second Miss is indeed considerate of us. We servants are here to kowtow to you."

Wang Jialuan was flattered and went back happily.

When the maid in her room saw her coming back, she hurriedly took her in and asked quietly, "How is it?"

"Big sister is sleeping soundly." Wang Jialuan was puzzled, "She doesn't look like she has been disturbed at all."

The maid also frowned and was suddenly startled. She looked towards the abbot!

Wang Jialuan also reacted and covered her mouth with her hands, horrified: "Could that flower thief have gone to the abbot?!"
