The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Liu Guangtian took a look at the house and shuddered subconsciously.

In fact, he didn't want to step into this house again unless it was necessary.

Isn't there a way now?

"What's your relationship with the Liu family, who are famous for making lanterns?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

Although an official had previously said that this might be a branch of the Liu family, she still wanted to confirm it.

"That's the main family, and our lineage is a side branch. I want to call the current headmaster of the Liu family uncle."

Mr. Liu is in his fifties.

"Is this house yours, or does it belong to the Liu family?"

"It's mine," Liu Guangtian was suddenly shocked when he heard Lu Zhaoling's question, and he stopped talking, "But..."

Lu Zhaoling didn't rush him and just waited for his answer.

"You..." Liu Guangtian hesitated and looked at Lu Zhaoling. He didn't know who Lu Zhaoling was.

But Lord Lin and this handsome man who looks very noble seem to listen to her?

"This is Miss Lu Er, and this is Prince Jin." Lin Rong reacted.

He thought that people in the capital would always recognize Prince Jin, but he didn't expect that Prince Jin had been away from Beijing for many years.

When Liu Guangtian heard this, his face changed color with shock, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees.

"I kowtow to the King of Jin."

Prince Jin knew that when the retired emperor was still in power, this person was his favorite.

"Get up and talk."

Prince Jin frowned, and when Liu Guangtian became trembling with fear, he pulled Lu Zhaoling closer, so that Liu Guangtian saw Lu Zhaoling who was being led by him.

His heart skipped a beat.

"Meet Miss Lu Er!"

He remembered that he had just heard a few days ago that the second daughter of the Lu family who was brought from the countryside was given a marriage with the Prince of Jin. It seemed that this person was the one in front of him.

Prince Jin was getting close to her without any scruples.

Lin Rong looked at Prince Jin's actions, moved his mouth, and held back.

He meant to say that in front of others, he should at least consider the reputation of Miss Lu Er, right? How could he be so close to her?

But considering that they are already an engaged couple who have been granted an arranged marriage, I guess no one would dare to say anything just because they hold hands?

Moreover, Prince Jin was obviously unhappy that Liu Guangtian ignored Second Miss Lu.

Lin Rong felt like he had discovered something.

Little did he know that what King Jin was thinking at the moment was: He had already agreed to cooperate with Lu Er, and he had to be her backer for the next six months. Now that he was here, if others still dared to ignore Lu Er, how could he save his face?

What he wanted was that when Lu Er walked out, the words "the son protected by King Zhou Shiyue of Jin" would be clearly written on his head.

Only this kind of cooperation is prestigious.

Now that he saw Liu Guangtian knew to say hello to Lu Zhaoling, he felt satisfied.

"What were you just saying?"

Liu Guangtian quickly replied, "This house is indeed under my name now, but originally it belonged to the Liu family. However, due to some issues between our fathers, the house was given to us as compensation by the owner."

Lu Zhaoling understood and asked, "When did this happen?"

"It's been quite a while, more than ten years. We thought this house was really nice, so we moved in happily. But after less than half a year, strange things started happening one after another, and we couldn't live here any longer, so we had to move out."

"Can you tell me what happened back then?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

Lin Rong immediately added, "Tell the truth."

This is a matter of human life. There are so many dead people here. How can he not speak out? He will be tried even if he doesn't speak out.

"Yes, yes, I dare not hide it."

Liu Guangtian quickly told the story of what happened that year.

"When we first moved in, someone got sick every few days. No one cared at first, after all, it was very cold then, so it wasn't surprising to catch a cold. But half a year later, my wife and daughter said they heard people crying in the middle of the night."

"I didn't hear it. They said it sounded like a young girl crying, the kind of sad crying that made them unable to sleep well. But when I asked during the day, no one was crying."

"So everyone said it might be haunted. I didn't believe it at first, but one night I was so thirsty that I got up to drink some water. Then I saw a woman's shadow on the window. The moonlight outside was so bright that her shadow was reflected very clearly."

Speaking of this, Liu Guangtian shuddered again. Although the incident had happened many years ago, he still felt a little creepy when he thought about it.

"I was a little confused at the time. I thought it was a servant from the mansion, so I shouted, 'Who is it so late at night?' But then, the shadow disappeared in an instant! I immediately opened the window to see if there was anyone outside. Even if someone ran away, there would be footsteps, but there was no sound at all. It was so quiet that I couldn't even hear my own breathing."

Only then did he come back to his senses and thought that what he saw might not be a human.

"At that time, I was thinking, don't people say ghosts don't have shadows? So if I saw a printed shadow, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a ghost. But the next day I asked everyone in the family, and no one said they got up in the middle of the night."

"Two days later, a maid in the mansion died. She was walking in the backyard and suddenly screamed and died. When she died, her eyes were wide open and her face was full of fear. We were all scared silly. On the night she died, many people heard crying sounds, just like the voice of that maid."

Liu Guangtian's face turned pale as he spoke.

Especially now that he is standing in this house and talking about these things, he is scared.

"Later I went to invite Taoist priests and monks, but they all advised me to move out. There was no other way. I had no choice but to move out. The house couldn't be sold."

Lin Rong frowned and asked, "Did only one maid die?"

Liu Guangtian's eyes widened in disbelief, "Sir, are there more people going to die? We were terrified when a maid died!"

"After the maid died, what did you do with her body?"

Liu Guangtian felt that Lin Rong's questions were all very strange. "When a person dies, he should be buried. Lord Lin, we are not the kind of black-hearted people who would wrap him up with a tattered mat and throw him into the wilderness."

"Buried?"

"The body was really buried, and the host family helped to take care of it because my mother and wife were both frightened and sick at the time, and I was too busy to handle it," said Liu Guangtian.

"Then did you know that there were three dead women in a room in your backyard, and there were several coffins?"

While asking this question, Lin Rong was observing Liu Guangtian's expression.

Liu Guangtian looked at him in horror, his lips trembling, "Master Lin, please don't joke with me!"

His reaction didn't seem fake.

Lu Zhaoling looked at Liu Guangtian and did not see any deathly look on his face, but rather a bit of bad luck.

"Let's go over there. It's a good opportunity for him to see it with his own eyes." Lu Zhaoling said.
