Renew

Before Rong Changting turned his head, Meng Xian was shocked again.

Rong Li walked in towards the firewood room, looked at the maidservant huddled up beside the firewood, bent down, and asked in a soft voice: "Yu Zhuo, what you saw last night may not be a ghost, I'm afraid...it was me .”

Her voice was soft, as if she was afraid of frightening the tense maidservant.

Hearing her voice, Yu Zhuo trembled even more, as if being urged to death by an evil spirit, screaming, kicking his legs non-stop, and covering his face with his arms, blocking his vision Strictly.

She was really afraid, Xu also knew who she saw last night, so she panicked even more after seeing the real master.

Meng Xian stood outside the house without saying a word, staring at the trembling maid, afraid that she would say something that should not be said, the veins in the hand that twisted the silk handkerchief bulged, and even her breath became short of breath.

Rongli put his hands on his knees, and slowly squatted down/body, originally wanting to get closer.

Unexpectedly, Yu Zhuo suddenly put down his hand covering his face, and pushed towards her violently, his frightened and ferocious appearance really seemed to have bumped into a ghost, maybe even if he bumped into a ghost, he wouldn't be so frightened, "Don't come, don't come over--"

Seeing that her girl was about to be pushed to the ground, Xiaofu hurried forward and grabbed the girl's arm.

Yu Zhuo bumped forward suddenly, exhausted all his strength, and even clenched his teeth, looking like he wanted to drag someone back to death.

Rong Changting stared straight, and before he could speak, the guard who was standing behind had already rushed forward and held down the maidservant who had suddenly gone mad.

Rongli's face was pale, he straightened his waist and took a few steps back, he pressed his chest and panted, "Yu Zhuo, I never harmed you, what kind of grudge do you have with me?"

Now that the madam and the master are both present, Xiao Fu dare not speak, but secretly turns her head to look at the third madam.

"Yu Zhuo, do you know what you are doing, lost your mind?" Rong Changting scolded coldly.

Yu Zhuo was pressed to the ground, struggling like crazy, with messy hair and clothes, he looked more like a ghost than a ghost.

"What the hell is going on here!" Rong Changting slammed the door frame with a loud bang.He raised his hand to press the center of his eyebrows, and after suppressing the anger in his heart, he turned his head to look at Xiao Fu, and said softly, "You said, the girl really bumped into the nightmare last night?"

"Maybe it's sleepwalking." Xiaofu responded anxiously, "Last night, the girl went to bed early, and I lay down on the table to take a nap, and fell asleep without paying attention. When I woke up, I found that the girl was no longer in the house, so I hurried out When I went to look for it, I saw the girl standing outside the Orchid Court with a lantern, as if her soul had been taken away, when I called her, she couldn't regain her senses for a while."

Rong Li lowered his head, his eyelashes fluttered like butterflies, "Yesterday I suddenly woke up from a dream, and felt chills all over my body. Later, Xiao Fu called me, and I woke up, and found that I was outside the Orchid Courtyard, with a lift in my hand. Turned on the light, maybe Yuzhuo was so frightened when he saw my appearance at night by the window last night."

Her voice became softer and softer, as if she was dying, she said again: "Li'er... didn't mean it."

"People with weak bodies often suffer from the disease of leaving their souls, and they may even startle sleepwalking at night." Rong Changting shook his head, "It's because my father didn't think carefully, so it's just right for you to move back to the Orchid Academy. There are many people in the Orchid Academy, and there is a caretaker , if it's in the bamboo courtyard..."

He paused, looked at Xiao Fu coldly and said: "I'm afraid you have woken up several times, you maidservant hasn't noticed yet!"

Xiaofu was so frightened that her knees gave way and she almost fell to her knees.

Rong Li tightly held Xiao Fu's arm, forced her to support her, and said softly: "It's not Xiao Fu's fault, I lit incense to help sleep last night, and Xiao Fu would be so sleepy after smelling this fragrance. "

Xiao Fu looked eagerly at her own girl, her eyes were red, almost crying.

Only then did Rong Changting calm down, and said coldly to Yu Zhuo: "It's just that I saw the eldest girl at night, but I was frightened like this. If people from outside the house were here, I would think that you have done something to shame the eldest girl." thing."

Si Zhao said in a low voice, "Master, just ask this maid, and you'll know."

Meng Xian suddenly turned her head to look at the fourth lady, her eyes were full of disbelief.

But Si Zhao didn't look at her, his eyes were fixed on his master's body, and he didn't even move an inch away, as if he didn't notice the cold and puzzled eyes beside him.

Rong Changting approached Yu Zhuo, bowed his head and said, "You tell the truth."

Yu Zhuo's hair was in a messy bun, and her hair covered her face, revealing a pair of frightened eyes, her eyes turned dully, her mouth was wide open, as if she wanted to speak, but she was too scared to squeeze it out at all. speak out.

She was looking at Rongli, her eyes trembled as if being caught by the undulating water.

Rong Li said softly: "Why are you afraid of me?"

"If this continues, she will really be scared out of her wits." An indifferent voice suddenly sounded.

Rong Li looked sideways slightly, and spotted Hua Su from the corner of his eye.

Hua Su didn't walk into the fog, but walked over several walls like a rampage.She was wrapped tightly in a black robe, not even her neck was exposed, only her eyes were exposed from top to bottom, the eyes were narrow and long, and the ends of the eyes were dyed with crimson rouge, bright and cold, strange and treacherous.

Rong Li didn't respond, and lowered his eyes as if he was thinking.

Hua Su looked down at the helpless maidservant on the ground, and said indifferently, "What do you want to dig out of her mouth?"

The small firewood room was full of people, Rong Li never found a chance to answer, he couldn't say that he had run into a ghost again for half a day.

Hua Su raised his hand suddenly, with five slender fingers protruding from the cuff, and the black ghost aura in his palm was suddenly released. The cloud of ghost aura, like a ghost head with green face and fangs, rushed towards the maidservant's face.

Ordinary people can't see it, but Rongli can see it clearly, she raised her eyes suddenly.

The ghostly aura bumped into Yu Zhuo's face, and condensed into her eyes like ink, those eyes with a frightened look suddenly turned black, filled with ghostly aura.

Rong Li was stunned, she didn't know what Hua Su was trying to do, but she guessed that other people would not be able to see the ghostly look in Yu Zhuo's eyes, otherwise they would all be frightened by those dark eyes.

Hua Su coldly said: "Let her remember the past, frighten her soul, and make her tell it herself."

The corners of Rongli's calm mouth raised slightly, with a slight arc, never thought that this ghost would have such abilities.

Yu Zhuo, who was held down, didn't know where he got so much strength, and suddenly sat up straight, and slowly turned his frozen eyes to the side, looking at Rong Changting.

The eyes are dull, not like a living person.

Rong Changting was taken aback by her look, a chill ran down his back, and he felt inexplicably terrified.

The two nurses who were holding her back couldn't see the expression on her face, and they couldn't understand the sudden changes in the expressions of the master and wives.

Meng Xian became even more panicked, unable to figure out what Yu Zhuo meant, so she could only stare at Yu Zhuo, but Yu Zhuo's expression remained unchanged, and she was stunned by the first step.

Yu Zhuo stared blankly and said: "I shouldn't, I shouldn't have broken the guardrail at night, I shouldn't have picked up that cup of hot soup, and deliberately poured it on the eldest girl, I, I..."

"Don't turn into a ghost to kill me, don't turn into a ghost..." She opened and closed her mouth, closed her eyes, and passed out.

As soon as these words came out, Rong Changting said coldly: "Lock her up for me, and ask the truth, how can a maidservant have such vicious thoughts!"

He turned his head and looked at Meng Xian, "Do you dare to send such a person to Li'er?"

The ghostly aura that seeped into Yu Zhuo's face gushed out like a plume of smoke, and was taken back by Hua Su.

Hua Su crushed the ghostly energy between her fingers, "She was exhausted, she passed out before she could finish speaking, and she couldn't wake up for a while."

It's a pity that Rong Xin said.

Meng Xian, who was stared at coldly, suddenly lowered her body, "Master, this girl was fine before, how could I know that she would treat Lier like this, there were two other girls with her earlier, why don't you take those two together?" The girl called to ask."

Rong Changting said coldly: "Go to someone and get those two maidservants."

Rong Li stood still with a lot of work, like a weak willow supporting the wind.

"When Li'er is tired, go back and rest." Rong Changting sighed.

Rong Li shook his head, and said in a weak voice: "Yu Zhuo usually takes good care of her, but she actually..." Her voice choked up and she couldn't continue.

"Know people, know face, but not heart." Rong Changting flicked his sleeves abruptly, and walked out of the narrow woodshed.

The fog outside the house has not cleared, and the mist and rain are falling, and even the faces of other people can't be seen clearly from ten feet away.This dense fog is strange and strange, but no matter how strange it is, it is not as strange as Yu Zhuo's appearance just now.

Meng Xian was terrified, turned his head and glanced at the maid who was next to him, the maid also took a quick breath, her eyes turned black from fright.

Xiaofu opened an umbrella under the eaves to cover her girl's head, with a lot of thoughts in her heart.

But Rong Li raised his hand, took the handle of the umbrella over, and the umbrella tilted towards Hua Su's side.

It is obviously a thing of the underworld, and ordinary people can't see her, but the moist rain can fall on her.

Fortunately, Hua Su wore black silk on his head, otherwise the top of his black and white hair would have been covered with icing sugar.

Before stepping out of the threshold, Hua Su raised his hand against the edge of the overturned umbrella, and said softly, "No need."

Rong Li blinked, thinking about Fang Caihua's action of coming through the wall, wondering if this ghost could not get close to the heavy fog outside the house, so he straightened his umbrella.

Hua Su sneered, "You are kind."

This remark was a bit against her will, and she should have known that after living with this girl for a few days, this seemingly submissive and weak girl had a dark heart, and she was not as easy to deceive as she appeared on the surface.

Hua Su looked at the fog outside the house, and said in a low voice: "The fog is rising, it's not peaceful tonight, you can't take half a step out of the door at night."

Rongli looked at her sideways, the meaning in his eyes was clear at a glance——

Are you going out again?

Hua Su understood her eyes, and said with dark eyes: "Go out and have a look, others have been bullying you, so you can't be obedient."

Rong Li clenched the painting monster hidden under the sleeve. With such a powerful magical weapon on her body, it would be a little less strength if she didn't take it with her. She knew that she couldn't defeat those ghosts, but the painting ghost in her hand But it can be an enemy.

"You don't even know how to control Hua Sui, so you'd better stay in Rong's mansion so as not to be caught by others, and I have to save you for Hua Sui." Life and death are in sight.

Rong Li had no choice but to slightly nodded his head, indicating that he heard clearly.

"Remember?" Hua Su turned to look at her, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Rong Li nodded his head indistinctly again, so that others would not see anything unusual.

After a while, Kong Qing and Bai Liu were brought over, Kong Qing was still calm, but the horror in Bai Liu's eyes could not be hidden.Neither of them knew why Yu Zhuo suddenly went crazy, they just heard that she confessed to harming the elder girl.

The servants brought a grand master's chair, and the chair was placed under the eaves outside the door of the firewood room. Rong Changting was sitting on this chair, and there were several tall guards standing on the left and right sides.

When Bai Liu saw the battle, she almost knelt down, but seeing the fierce eyes of the third lady from the corner of her eye, she had to stand up straight again.

The two of them stood together, not daring to raise their heads.

"Are you going to serve the eldest girl with the maid in the woodshed?" Rong Changting asked coldly.

Bai Liu's white teeth trembled violently, her throat was so tight that she couldn't make a sound, she hurriedly turned her head and glanced at Kong Qing.

Kong Qing nodded and said: "Master, the two of us went to wait on the eldest girl on the same day as Yu Zhuo."

"Serve the eldest girl?" Rong Changting snorted coldly, "Why don't you see the eldest girl by your side today, that's how you serve her?"

Kong Qing lowered her head and said again: "The eldest girl left the mansion yesterday, and she was accompanied by Xiao Fu, I was going to wait for the girl to come back, but unexpectedly Bai Liu was caught in the wind and cold at night."

"I don't know when Rong's residence has an extra second girl." Rong Changting slapped his knees and said sarcastically.

Bai Liu trembled, "Master, this servant suddenly fell ill last night, I knew I shouldn't go to take care of the girl, so as not to let the girl get sick too, Kong Qing stayed with me for a long time, I, I'm afraid that Kong Qing will also get sick." Feeling ill, I had no choice but to persuade her not to go to the girl."

Kong Qing silently lowered her head, acquiescing to the matter.

"Really sick?" Rong Changting looked at him coldly, quite disbelieving.

Bai Liu hurriedly said: "It's absolutely true, don't dare to lie to the master, I, I even went to the government doctor to get the medicine, the government doctor will definitely be able to testify."

Rong Changting nodded slightly, but his face was still sharp, "Yuzhuo designed the girl to fall into the lake, but was it instigated by others?"

Rong Li looked at the two of them intently, with interest in her eyes, she raised her hand to cover her lips and coughed twice, her chin was covered by the cuff, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.

Kong Qing looked calm, shook his head and said: "Report to Master, I don't know."

"The three of you get along day and night, doesn't she know who she has met on a daily basis?" Rong Changting narrowed his eyes.

"The three of us seldom go out of the mansion, so the people we see are naturally the people in the mansion. Although we served in front of the third lady before, we were not together all the time, so the servants don't know who she has met in private." Kong Qing said slowly.

Bai Liu bowed her head in silence, stirring with her hands by her side.

"The one named Kong Qing is really calm, but the other one doesn't know." Hua Su suddenly said.

She raised her hand, the black silk slid down her wrist, wisps of ghost aura emerged from her palm, just about to shake it out, she clenched her five fingers tightly, crushing the ghost aura in her palm.

Rong Li looked at her sideways, as if looking at the maid in the woodshed.She thought that Hua Su was about to use the same trick just now, but unexpectedly she stopped abruptly.

The fog in the courtyard has not dissipated, and it is getting thicker and rolling like clouds.

Rong Li covered his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly, and was just about to ask a question, but he noticed that Hua Su silently stepped back a few steps.

The thick fog rolled into the firewood room, Hua Su...she forced herself through the wall she had passed through when she came in, and hid in the next room.

It was the first time for Rong Li to see a ghost through the wall, his eyes were dry before he blinked, thinking that if Hua Su appeared in front of others, he would be no different from ordinary people, except that the black silk wrapped around his body was slightly weird.

Her heart sank, she knew that it was nothing special that could make Hua Su disappear in a hurry, this Qi'an city would really not be peaceful.

Kong Qing who was being questioned was really calm, her eyes didn't dodge in the slightest, but Bai Liu lowered her head and dared not speak, she refused to say a word.

Meng Xian breathed a sigh of relief, swayed back, leaned on the body of the personal servant girl, and said something in her ear.

Rong Li saw the two whispering, but he didn't know what Meng Xian said, her hearing was not as good as Hua Su's.But for some reason, when she focused slightly, she could hear the rustling of tinkles, but she still couldn't make out the sound of the characters.

Hua Su hid in the wall, and Rong Li didn't expect her to perform another trick to make Bai Liu tell the truth like Yu Zhuo.She said softly: "Kong Qing and Bai Liuxu really don't know about this, Bai Liu is still sick, but don't blow the wind in the yard, it's raining today, it's colder than usual."

Bai Liu raised her drooping eyes quietly, the eyeballs were wet, she was about to cry but not yet.

Rong Li sighed softly, "Father, if not, let's forget about it, even though I fell into the lake, I'm getting better now."

"With daddy here, you don't have to be afraid." Rong Changting said.

Rong Li coughed twice more, "I don't know what Li'er did wrong to cause others to treat her like this."

With a gloomy expression, Rong Changting waved his hands and said, "Go home and rest, father will definitely find out about this matter."

"Then Li'er will go back to the house." Rong Li leaned over, went to his own house to put away the umbrella, opened the door and entered the room.

When I entered the door, I saw Hua Su sitting on the edge of the boxwood table, with his eyes closed tightly, and there was not a trace of ghostly spirit coming out of his body, and the breath was tightly hidden.She opened her eyes, and before Xiaofu had time to close the door, she took a look outside and said softly: "This formation is interesting."

Rong Li sat on the drum stool, turned to Xiao Fu and said, "Go get some hot water, I'm thirsty."

Xiaofu nodded, put the umbrella away, and immediately left the house.

Because of the cloudy sky outside, the room was also dark and gloomy, as if it was evening.

Rongli stood up and lit the lamp, the dim yellow light of the fire reflected on her face, the light was soft and warm, covering the paleness of her lips, adding a bit of vitality that a living person should have.She stretched out her hand to protect the flame that had just ignited, and whispered: "Maybe you can see something strange?"

"The formation is pure, it was not done by ghosts, it should be the formation set up by Fanxiu." Hua Su was very calm, without the slightest panic that should come from being surrounded by enemies.

"Did the monks and priests in the city do it?" Rong Li asked again.

"It's just a guess, I can't be sure, most of the monks and priests in the city were also attracted by Qi An's ghost." Hua Su bent his fingers and tapped on the table.

"If ghosts attract monks and Taoists, wouldn't they also become turkeys?" Rong Li frowned.

Hua Su snorted lightly, "These ghosts are not dull and stupid things. When I went to Jingyin Temple last night, the green-clothed ghost was about to leave. Now that the great formation has been launched, she naturally senses it, and she will not let herself go. Being imprisoned, the rest of the ghosts think so too."

"What about the rest of the brats?" Rong Li put down his hand protecting the flames.

"Some dead souls who have just stepped into the shadows, it is not a pity to die." Hua Su said lightly.

Taoist Rongli couldn't escape the fate of the weak even if he died, he sighed in his heart, raised his eyes and said: "Is there a way to break this formation, do you need my help?"

"It's nothing more than the bee battalion and the ant team. This battle won't last long." Hua Su suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were calm. "It's not in a hurry, don't startle the snake."

Rong Li nodded, stood up and walked towards the window, slightly propped up the window lattice, glanced outside, saw Rong Changting leading a group of servants out of the Orchid Courtyard, and Meng Xian was standing in the courtyard He remained motionless, as if he had lost his mind.

She was about to put down the window, when suddenly Meng Xian turned around abruptly, his eyes were like snakes and scorpions, gnashing his teeth and staring at her room.

Meng Xian twisted the veil, raised her hand to pinch the shoulder of the maidservant beside her, barely stood up straight, and then walked back to the room step by step.

The mist outside the house was like a soft and boneless hand, brushing against the window, almost poking into the house.

Rong Li hastily closed the window and looked at the skinning ghost standing in the corner. He wanted to call the skinning ghost to eavesdrop in the third lady's room, but the fog was unusual. If he thought about it, if he accidentally revealed Hua Su's location, She...will not be spared.

After a long time, Xiaofu came into the house with a porcelain pot filled with warm water. Before she could close the door, the door was slammed shut by the wind, so startled that Xiaofu staggered and turned around, almost letting go of the porcelain pot in her hand .

Hua Su withdrew her hands unhurriedly, and it was she who closed the door with the technique.

Xiaofu patted her chest and said, "Why is this wind so scary."

Rong Li lifted the cup covered on the table, his eyes swept across the crack of the door, and saw that there was no wisp of mist seeping into the room, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Why have you been here for so long?"

"On the way back, I met the master, the fourth madam and the fifth madam, and the master asked about the girl again, and I told the truth." Xiaofu poured water into the glass and raised her eyes cautiously.

"What did he ask?" Rong Li raised his glass and took a sip.

"Ask the girl how she has been these few days. She slept soundly at night." After finishing speaking, Xiao Fu's eyes lit up, and she said, "Master and Madam are going to the accountant, and they said that Luo Zhizhou sent someone to invite the master last night. I went to listen to music, so I didn’t have time to question the accountant gentleman last night.”

Rong Li nodded slightly, "It was a coincidence that Luo Zhizhou came last night."

Xiaofu snorted angrily, "The accountant doesn't know how he intends to fool the master. With his various rhetoric, he might even call the dead alive."

"Perhaps he is forced to do so." Rong Li said softly.

Xiaofu snorted, "I have no choice? He eats and drinks well, but the eldest girl can barely make up the money for the medicine. I heard from the servant that the accountant Zeng and the third lady had a private meeting at night, and it was not enough." I don’t know how much is true and how much is false.”

"Speak carefully." Rong Li's expression froze, and he seemed really angry, "No matter how bad she is to me, she is also the third wife of the Rong family. You must not do such things as ruining the reputation of the wife."

"I, I didn't." Xiaofu stammered, "Didn't I just listen to what others said."

"If she really did something, there will be evil spirits coming to claim her life. We must not chew other people's tongues behind." Rong Li's complexion was slightly red when he was in a hurry, and his eyes were moist, like water.

Xiaofu could only nod her head, "I don't say anything."

Hua Su snorted softly, not like sarcasm, nor contemptuous, and his long and narrow eyes were slightly bent, as if he was amused.She always smiled very lightly, and then suppressed the smile for a moment, and said softly: "What a wicked ghost came to ask for his life."

Rong Li didn't say a word, he lowered his head and took small sips of water.

"You don't have to be afraid. If she dies, she will become an evil ghost who will take your life instead." Hua Su's tone was very light, obviously trapped in the house, but quite calm and content.

Rong Li raised his eyes silently, put down the water glass in his hand, and took out a slender and ordinary pen from his cuff.

Draw ghosts.

She has a painting ghost in her hand, so she has nothing to be afraid of.

Hua Su raised her lips slightly under the black silk, feeling that this sick and beautiful girl was really like a fox, and she would do some deceptive things from time to time.

Because the eldest daughter of the family would run into ghosts from time to time, Xiao Fu didn't dare to go away too many times, it happened that Kong Qing was outside the house, and when noon came, she asked Kong Qing to bring some food over.

The meals are prepared by the cook house for the masters. The elder girl is weak and often does not eat with the wives, so now even if the master comes back, the chef of the cook house is used to leaving a portion for the elder girl, and the maidservant only needs to go to the cook house It can be picked up in one trip.

Kong Qing came back with the food, with no expression on his face, a hard-working look, different from those who can only talk nonsense.She knocked on the door, and as soon as the door opened, she handed the food box into the room, and said in a low voice, "Girl, the food is here."

The door is slightly open, the fog outside is still thick, and the day is not cloudy like noon.

Xiaofu took the food box and glanced back at her daughter.

Rongli looked at the mist outside the house through this gap, and said softly: "Let her come in and have dinner together."

Xiaofu was a little puzzled, but she did as she did, "The girl asked you to come in and eat together."

Kong Qing was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Miss."

Once the door is closed, the lingering mist cannot even enter an inch.

Xiaofu opened the food box, took out the dishes and rice one by one, then turned to get the bowl and chopsticks.

Rong Li sat still, looked at the maid who was standing stiffly in front of the door, knocked on the table and said, "Come and sit, what are you doing standing up?"

Kong Qing shook her head: "There are rules in the mansion, servants are not allowed to eat at the same table as the master."

Xiaofu raised the corners of her mouth triumphantly, shook her head and scooped up the rice, then sank down and sat next to her girl, as if to show off.

Rong Li felt helpless, and said breathlessly: "I ordered you to come in to eat with me, not to let you stand and watch me eat."

"Is it possible for a girl to invite you?" Xiao Fu turned to look at Kong Qing.

"Thank you, miss." Kong Qing had no choice but to sit down, hesitated for a while before picking up the chopsticks.

Hua Su stood up the moment Kong Qing sat down, so as not to be caught upright by ordinary people.She put her arms behind her back, glanced at these fragrant vegetables, turned her eyes, and her eyes fell on the top of her empty green hair.

Rong Li chewed and swallowed slowly, and did not speak again.

"This person has a good temper, and he's honest." Hua Su narrowed his eyes, "You're right."

Rong Li raised his eyes, saw that Kong Qing was not eating much, and said slowly: "I don't have to be so cautious here, just be the same as Xiao Fu."

Xiaofu laughed, "Fortunately, I followed the eldest girl. If it was with other wives, I might not be able to eat until after noon."

Kong Qing whispered: "It is Kong Qing's blessing to serve the eldest girl."

Rong Li has heard many things like this, he shook his head slightly, "You just need to remember it in your heart."

Xiao Fu sighed, "I don't know what happened to the account manager, but the girl's monthly money has been deducted a lot."

Kong Qing was silent for a while, and then said: "I heard that the master checked the account himself, and there is 3000 taels of silver in the mansion. His whereabouts are unknown, and the person in charge of the account has been sent to the government."

Rong Li's eyes narrowed, "What did that man say?"

"I'm not sure. If Miss wants to know, Kong Qing will go and ask in a while." Kong Qing lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes.

Rong Li swallowed the rice, and said slowly: "Forget it, I have already taken him to the government, and I'm afraid it's a fixed number for the future of account management. It would be great if I could get back the 3000 taels of silver."

Kong Qing raised his eyes to look at her, but his eyes wandered to other places for a moment, his shoulders and neck were tense at first, but now they relaxed half a bit, and they were no longer as stiff as before, "Girl is kind."

Rong Li smiled lightly, the corners of his pale mouth raised slightly, he was as weak as a plum blossom on a thin branch outside the house, making it difficult for people to see her being wronged, as if he should pamper her.

She has a gentle expression, eating slowly, her drooping eyelashes fluttering slightly, she is so gentle and quiet, if her body is not too weak, why would there be no one to come to her door to propose a marriage, the whole Qi'an city would be rushing to get her.

It looks so pitiful, but the intestines are twisted and twisted.

"Is that really the case?" Hua Su asked quietly.

Rong Li didn't answer, he picked out the fishbone slowly, the good piece of fish in the bowl seemed to have been ripped apart, it was turned to pieces by chopsticks, and even a tiny thorn could not be seen.After picking the thorns, she put the fish meat into her mouth and chewed it again and again.

"I guess you won't just give up like this and just put on a show in front of the servants." Hua Su asked himself and answered.

Rong Li put down his chopsticks, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"Is the girl full?" Xiao Fu asked.

"Yeah." Rong Li agreed with this answer.

Hua Su didn't even care about human life, so how could he care about this matter.She walked towards the window, and the layer of thin paper on the window lattice was tightly pasted, not even a little bit of wind leaked in.

Last time the window was smashed by the skinning ghost, and it was repaired the next day, so as to avoid the wind blowing into the house, the earth dragon would not be warm, so it is better to live in the bamboo courtyard, the windows of the bamboo courtyard are good anyway.

Hua Su raised his hand, and his thin palm covered the window lattice, touching the mist outside through the window paper.After a long while, he withdrew his hand and said: "The fog has weakened a little. Tomorrow, at Yinshi, this formation will be destroyed without attack."

There was a sudden pause in her voice, she turned her head to look at Rongli, she seemed a little embarrassed to speak, there was obvious hesitation between her brows, and after a while, she asked: "Where is the cat?"

When Rong Li heard it, he was stunned for a moment, after she came back from Wen Xiang Xuan, she forgot about the black cat.Holding the hand of the handkerchief, he asked, "Where is the cat I bought from outside?"

Xiao Fu let out a soft "Ah", her eyes were wide open, she stood up abruptly and said: "I was afraid that it would keep barking at night and disturb the girl's rest, so I put it in the maid's room, and almost lost this Forget the little things."

The lower room in the mansion is where the servants live. Several maidservants live in the same room, and the beds are so tightly arranged that they can't even find a place to stay.

Rong Li turned his head to the side seemingly unintentionally, and looked towards the window.

"Hold me." Hua Su reluctantly opened his mouth, and said these two words very dryly and reluctantly.

Rong Li frowned, "It's such a small cat, I'm afraid it has to run around, you put it in the servant room, and you are not afraid that it will be caught by others."

"I tied it up." Xiaofu said cautiously, "My sisters in the same room said that this is the eldest girl's cat, and they will not dare to mess around, maybe the cat has already been fed."

"Hold me and let me see." Rong Li lifted his chin slightly, not fierce and arrogant, but rather delicate, he urged, "Hurry up."

Xiao Fu took the last mouthful of rice in the bowl, pouting and said, "Let's go!"

After one person was missing in the room, Kong Qing became cautious again, not daring to look away, for fear of bumping into the girl.She was a little anxious in her heart, but she was orderly when she tidied up the table.

"I thought you would intercede for Yu Zhuo." Rong Li said suddenly.

The bowls clanged together.

Kong Qing gave the hand holding the bowl a pause, and put the empty dish back into the food box, "She did something wrong and deserves to be punished."

"Aren't you worried that she will be taken away by the government?" Rong Li looked up at her.

Kong Qing stood, her fingers were trembling, but her expression was still calm, "She thought of harming the master, she should be severely punished, it is her blessing that the Rong family did not hand her over to the government, if this matter gets out , her life will be completely ruined."

Rong Li looked at her expression and said slowly: "If father wants to punish her, I can't stop him, but since she served me before, I will find a way to make father punish less."

She spoke very slowly, every time she uttered a word, she was distinguishing the changes in Kong Qing's expression, even the downward arc of Kong Qing's mouth, as if she was watching a play, and she was an outsider.

Kong Qing's eyes were red, and after covering the food box, she bowed her body and choked with sobs, "Miss, don't feel sorry for her, she committed her own crimes, and she will not be grateful if she is not punished."

Seeing her bowing her head and sobbing, Rong Li propped herself up on the table and stood up, with her eyes slightly bent, as if she really stayed out of it.She helped Kong Qing up, and said softly: "I have always been soft-hearted, and I love the girl who is by my side the most."

The voice is light and fluttering, as if sounding from the valley, far away and clear.

Hua Su raised his hand to hook off the black silk mask, and slowly pulled it down to his chin, "You can talk, but have you ever lied to me?"

Rong Li weakly patted Kong Qing's shoulder: "If others treat me with sincerity, I will return with some kind of sincerity."

Hua Su chuckled lightly, with a cold smile, and there was no wave in his long and narrow eyes.

The servant's room is not far from the Orchid Courtyard, where the eldest girl and two favored wives live. If it is far away, it is inconvenient for the maids to come here.

After a while, there was a thin meowing sound outside the house, and Xiaofu walked lightly, muttering: "Don't meow, I'll get you some food later, I'm small, but I have a big appetite."

Xiao Fu pushed the door in with the cat in her arms, and the moment she stepped through the threshold, the cat not only stopped meowing, but also fluffed up its fur.

"Why are you unhappy to see Master, afraid of being like this?" Xiao Fu gave a soft yell, and muttered in a low voice.

Rong Li took the cat over, knowing in his heart what the cat was afraid of, he was a good cat, somehow he was not afraid of people, but he was terribly afraid of ghosts.She raised her hand to stroke the back of the cat twice, raised her eyes and asked, "Have you fed it yet?"

"No." Xiaofu said in a low voice: "The sisters in the next room dare not feed the cat at will, for fear that it will spoil the cat."

"You go to the Paowu to ask for some fish, and bring them after boiling them in plain water." Rong Li touched the cat's jaw.

"Girl, I'll go." Kong Qing picked up the food box, "I'll take the food box there along the way."

"Then you go." Xiao Fu cheered up.

After Kong Qing left, Xiao Fu said: "I just asked, and I said that the account manager is still under trial, and he hasn't been summoned to return home."

Rong Li shook his head, "It's okay, the third lady has gone out?"

"The third lady seems to have disappeared after returning to the house." Xiaofu thought for a while.

Rong Lisi recalled how Meng Xian was whispering to his personal maid not long ago, turned his head and said: "If there is any movement in the third lady's room, tell me that she is a little restless today, and I don't know if it is because of Yu Zhuo. It also hurts my heart."

She bit the three words "broken heart" a little deliberately.

"Miss, are you still worried that she will be sad?" Xiaofu almost fainted with anger.

Rong Li caressed the little black cat in his arms, and his voice was the same as that of a cat, softly and softly, "It's my San Niang after all."

She walked towards the dressing table, and sat down with the cat in her arms. She seemed to be looking at the mirror, but she was actually looking at the ghost beside her from the corner of her eye.

Hua Su's appearance could not be reflected in the bronze mirror, her hands were still hooked on the black silk, and she saw this thin and small cat with her cold eyes.

The rouge and gouache on the dressing table were neatly placed, and Rongli was not afraid that the cat would drop the thing, so he put it on the table, and was afraid that it would suddenly jump out, so he lightly pressed its back .

"Sure enough, it's still too young." Hua Su closed his eyes, unable to bear to look directly.

Xiao Fu was still in the room, it was inconvenient for Rong Li to speak, so she simply dipped the water in the copper basin by the dressing table and wrote at the feet of the black cat.

"Are you going to get into it?"

Hua Su lowered her eyes to read the words, and said coolly from her red lips, "Not yet."

Rongli wrote again.

"Then why are you looking for it?"

Hua Su was speechless, and reluctantly turned his eyes away, "It's not time yet, so there's no hurry."

The cat sat motionless on the table, not because it was cute, but because it didn't dare to move.

Rong Li got a little wet, a drop of crystal slipped from his fingertips, writing stroke by stroke.

"Could it be that after entering the body of this cat, you will not be afraid of the fog outside?"

"Using living things as a cover is a plan." Hua Su said calmly.

"It's fine if it's a living thing. There are so many maidservants in Rongfu, why don't you take away one of them?"

Rongli's handwriting is even beautiful, but just like hers, it seems to be weak, without the edge of the pen.

Hua Su didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a long time before saying softly: "Trouble
