Jiang Xuening glanced at Qinghe, Qinghe pinched his throat and took a deep breath.

"Ah! There's a ghost!"

"Miss, wake up quickly!"

"Come here, the lady has a nightmare!"

Qinghe screamed three times in a row, and the demonic sound filled his ears. Caiyue couldn't help but cover her ears.

They also lit up the lights instantly and looked busy.

The owners of a yard all saw ghosts one after another. The incident became a big deal for a while, and even alarmed the eminent monks in the temple and other ladies who were staying here.

The entire courtyard was instantly brightly lit, as bright as day.

Mrs. Shangguan sat in the room with a pale face. A familiar lady came to care for her.

"This is in a temple, there can't really be ghosts..."

"They say that if you don't do anything bad, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. What happened tonight is really weird..."

Shangguan Mingzhu said coldly, "What the hell is going on? I think someone is up to something!"

The master of the temple personally checked the courtyard and said, "There are no suspicious signs. Madam must have had a nightmare."

Mrs. Shangguan smiled and said, "I'm disturbing the master. It's the servants who are making a fuss."

There were all female relatives here. After confirming that there were no problems, the master left quickly.

A lady asked, "Who lives across the street? Why is there no movement at all?"

Mrs. Shangguan took a sip of hot tea to calm down her shock, "It's Princess Mingyue."

As soon as these words came out, all the ladies had different expressions.

"When I just came in, I heard something happened over there." She said hesitantly, "Should we go and take care of it?"

Mrs. Shangguan had completely recovered and returned to her calm and calm demeanor. She told the nanny beside her, "Go and check on the princess and ask if there is anyone who needs our help."

Grandma took the order and the room became quiet.

Mrs. Shangguan lowered her eyes. She had just met her during the day, but something happened at night, and she happened to live in the same courtyard.

It was hard for her not to suspect that it was Jiang Xuening.

Mammy came back soon, "Madam, the princess is here."

Everyone looked at the door. Jiang Xuening was dressed in flowing white clothes, her hair was loosely tied with a ribbon, her face was bloodless, and she looked strangely pale and beautiful.

Mrs. Shangguan did not move in her seat, "Why is the princess here?"

Jiang Xuening held a soul-inducing lamp in her hand and smiled faintly, "I heard that Madam encountered a ghost. I came to take a look."

White clothes and red lights, with talismans attached to them. Jiang Xuening stood at the door against the light, making people panic.

Shangguan Mingzhu stood up immediately, "Are you pretending to be a ghost? What are you carrying in your hand?"

Jiang Xuening shook the red lantern in her hand and said, "I dreamed about the blood fetus. I went to consult the master specifically. He said that there was too much resentment and the ghost was lingering. I needed to attract the soul."

Shangguan Mingzhu's expression changed sharply, and she said loudly, "Then why are you here with the lamp? Are you not well-intentioned and want to lure your soul here?"

Jiang Xuening smiled at her, her voice so ethereal that it made people feel chills in their chests, "I heard that you encountered ghosts here, and I came here to attract the spirits."

Mrs. Shangguan said sternly, "It's nothing but the servants making a lot of noise. Thank you very much, Princess, for your kindness."

Jiang Xuening shook the lamp in her hand and said with some disappointment, "I thought Madam, like me, dreamed about my second cousin and her unborn child."

Several other ladies looked at each other, always feeling that this place was eerie.

Shangguan Mingzhu took a few steps forward and said sternly, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Xuening was not angry either, she still looked good-tempered, "It's not interesting. I just think of my second sister's death, but it was a dead body and two lives. The child in her belly is already seven months old. It's normal to have resentment."

The ladies exchanged crazy glances. The Shangguan family had kept this matter secret, and almost no one knew about it. It was unexpectedly revealed tonight.

Mrs. Shangguan's heart was trembling, with a sad look on her face, "Hey, she was too sad at the time, so she was stillborn. It's a pity."

Everyone knows what they are sad about.

"It's indeed a pity." Jiang Xuening said lightly, "Did Madam also dream about them tonight?"

"No." Mrs. Shangguan said without hesitation.

Jiang Xuening bent down and placed the soul-inducing lamp at the door, walked in and sat down.

"Speaking of which, my second cousin will marry into the Sheng family, and my wife will be the matchmaker herself."

Mrs. Shangguan didn't want to bring up old things again, especially those related to the Gu family.

No one spoke for a moment, Jiang Xuening chuckled lightly, "I just said that casually."

"The princess knows so much." Mrs. Shangguan said softly.

"I heard that the second sister died tragically, so I was deeply impressed." Jiang Xuening said calmly.

Mrs. Shangguan's heart skipped a beat, and she was sure that the person in front of her was evil.

She straightened her back, "Both the Sheng family and Ting'er were very kind to her. After her accident, we tried our best. All we can say is that she lost her will to live."

Jiang Xuening said nonchalantly, "It's good that everyone has a clear conscience. After all, it's been so long and the dead can't speak."

Shangguan Mingzhu couldn't bear it anymore, "Who are you blaming? I think what happened tonight was your fault."

"Mingzhu be careful what you say!" Mrs. Shangguan scolded.

Shangguan Mingzhu said unconvinced, "Who are you trying to scare with such a nagging look? If you blame her for her death, it's the Gu family. It was the Gu family who killed her!"

Jiang Xueer looked at her with cold eyes, "You're right, it's all the Gu family's fault, she deserves it."

Although she said it in a calm tone, Shangguan Mingzhu felt inexplicably panicked when she saw her, and she took a step back, a little scared.

Mrs. Shangguan immediately smoothed things over, "She is used to being willful at home and speaks without restraint. Princess, please don't take it to heart."

Jiang Xuening stood up and smiled, "Of course I won't take it to heart. I hope everyone will stop having nightmares and have a good sleep."

"I say goodbye first."

Jiang Xuening left so unexpectedly, her coming and going was like a gust of wind, which made people have no sense of reality.

The soul-inducing lamp was left at the door, emitting a strange light.

"Why do I feel like she's acting weird and her words are scary?"

"She is indeed that person's cousin. She does look a lot like that person, but she seems cold to others."

"I always feel that there is something in her words..."

The ladies started discussing each other word by word. Mrs. Shangguan said, "It's a false alarm. It's late at night, so everyone should go back and rest."

After hearing the unexpected news, the ladies stood up and left in a good-natured manner.

As soon as they left, Shangguan Mingzhu said immediately, "Take that broken lamp and throw it away."

Mrs. Shangguan gave her a warning look, "Calm down and pay attention to your words and deeds."

Shangguan Mingzhu lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, looking absent-minded.

Mrs. Shangguan completely lost her sleep and ordered her servants to start packing their things and leave here at dawn.

She didn't want to have any more contact with Jiang Xuening. She always felt that there was something evil about her.
