The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 5 Self-made
  Wenjiu got up before daybreak the next day, and it was still dark outside.

"Sister Zisu, the girl is looking for you."

After Banxia took care of things in Wen Jiu's room, he came to wake Zisu up.

Wen Jiu had to go to Zhang Mansion early today. If he went late, he might not see the ghost.

"Girl, are you up?"

Zisu had an extremely uneasy sleep last night, and all her dreams were filled with the female ghost in red who was threatening her life.

"Isn't that right? The girl is going out. Sister, hurry up and wait by the girl's side."

Banxia urged.

Going out again? Zisu's eyes suddenly widened.

"Girl, where are we going this early in the morning?"

Zi Su still felt like she was in a dream until she got into the carriage. When had her girl ever left home so early?

"Zhang Mansion."

Wen Jiu's words are concise and to the point.

Zisu was halfway through yawning and instantly turned to stone.

"Zhang Mansion?"

Zi Su's voice almost overturned the carriage.

"Girl, has this servant done something wrong recently? Or are you just sick and confused?"

Zi Su burst into tears, "I remember that you didn't like to go out before."

"My health was not good before, but now I'm better."

Wen Jiu patted Zisu's back to calm her down.

Lu Xu was still carrying the morning dew from the mountains and forests, and his group came from Liujia Village overnight.

In the past two days, he was still investigating the details of the girl from Huajian Pavilion in Liujiacun, but he learned that something happened to the Zhang family again.

This is already the third life, and he died in red clothes again.

His pupils reflected the white lantern in front of Zhang Mansion, and his face was actually a bit colder than the cold pond in winter.

"Sir, do you want to go in now?"

Although Lou Wu has experienced many bizarre cases with Lu Xu, this is the first time that it has been so difficult as this.

"Walk."

Lu Xu said coldly.

The sound of a carriage suddenly came from not far away, and Lu Xu stepped down alertly. Who else would come to Zhang's Mansion so early in the morning?
  The early morning fog had not completely dissipated. Lu Xu narrowed his eyes and stared closely at the carriage that came out of the fog.

"Whose carriage is that?"

Lu Xu said coldly.

"Sir, it's Wen's carriage."

Lou Wu specially checked the carriages of various officials and their families in Beijing, and he could recognize them at a glance whenever he saw them.

Lu Xu frowned, and the woman in the red cloak flashed in his mind, "Stop it."

"parking."

This early in the morning, the street was already eerily quiet, but Lou Wu's sonorous and powerful voice almost scared Zisu Hun'er away.

Wen Jiu was secretly happy that he had stopped him just right and took the opportunity to take a look at what was going on in the Zhang Mansion.

Zisu tremblingly lifted the curtain, and Wen Jiu saw Lu Xu's dark face before he even poked his head out.

Going out early was a mistake on my part.

Only the black energy was left in the Zhang Mansion that had not had time to dissipate, but Wen Jiu still felt that he had seen a ghost.

Lu Xu, whose face was as cold as the Lord of Hell, was half a ghost.

"Miss Wen got up so early."

Although it was a greeting, Lu Xu didn't have the slightest concern in his eyes.

Wen Jiu reluctantly got out of the carriage and bowed gently.

"It's not too late, my lord."

"If Lu remembers correctly, the girl seems to rarely go out. What is the reason for this trip?"

I repaid my kindness last time, what about this time?
  She couldn't help but squeeze her hands tightly under her cloak, her joints turning a little white, and she secretly felt bad luck.

Why do I run into him every time I go out?
  "I heard from my servant that the breakfast at Wang's Porridge Shop is very delicious. I couldn't catch up when I got there late, so I left a little early."

An embarrassed smile appeared on Wen Jiu's face, as if he had been caught stealing food.

"Oh? If I remember correctly, Wang's porridge shop is in the west of the city, right?" Lu Xu looked at Lou Wu aside and asked knowingly.

"Yes, sir. The day before yesterday, my subordinates went to inspect the west part of the city and passed by this porridge shop."

Lou Wu replied loudly, fearing that Wen Jiu wouldn't hear his voice.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Wen Jiu's dry laughter made Zi Su feel embarrassed, "I'm done eating. I'm going around to eat."

"Sitting in a carriage to eat, does Miss Wen really think Mr. Lu is a fool?"

Lu Xu saw that she refused to tell the truth and had no time to act with her.

"Girl, if nothing happens, go back quickly. Beijing is not safe now, especially for the woman in red."

Wen Jiu saw Lu Xu glance meaningfully at his clothes.

She dared to swear on the name of her master Quanzhen Sanren that Lu Xu was deliberately trying to scare her!
  Wen Jiu wanted to turn around and leave.

But now that I have encountered one, I want to ask what’s wrong? Can he still eat himself?

"Sir, I wonder how things are going with sister Anan?"

Wen Jiu asked softly, with concern in his eyes.

"Liu Anan's body has been found. I will tell Miss Wen the whole story after Lu has finished his official duties."

Lu Xu looked at Wen Jiu's expression carefully and paused deliberately.

"It's good to find it, thank you sir."

Wen Jiu didn't notice anything unusual about Lu Xu's words, so he turned around and walked towards the carriage.

"Miss Wen, wait a minute." Lu Xu narrowed his eyes coldly, "How did you know that Liu Anan was no longer alive? Lu didn't seem to have told the girl before."

Sure enough, Wen Jiu had known that Liu Anan was dead for a long time, and she was probably going to Liu's house that day to find out the cause of Liu Anan's death.

Wen Jiu's expression changed instantly. He had fallen into the trap. Lu Xu actually dared to trick her!

Where's the talisman? Where is my symbol? Stick it all on his face!
  When she turned around, she already had a sad look on her face. Wen Jiu half-covered her face with a handkerchief, barely squeezing out a few tears.

"Ahem, Master Lu, you don't know. Although I have some innate deficiencies, I feel very accurate. I don't know if this means God has mercy on me."

Lu Xu lowered his head and sneered, his eyes full of ridicule.

"Miss Wen, enough is enough."

"My lord, don't believe me?"

Wen Jiu's eyes widened in disbelief, filled with tears.

"My mother-in-law has also spread the word about Zhang's case, and I happened to hear a few words. If you believe me, I will fulfill my promise and help you solve this case even if I don't risk my life! Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough "

"Girl, how can you solve a case when you're coughing like this?"

Zi Su lowered her voice and just wanted to pull Wen Jiu back home quickly.

Wen Jiu pulled her sleeves hard, and no one could stop her from catching ghosts!

"Then Miss Wen, why don't you feel it out? Is the case in this mansion the revenge of the evil ghost as everyone said, or is it someone who is confusing the situation?"

Lu Xu narrowed his eyes and stared at Wen Jiu dangerously.

Wen Jiu turned his head and looked at the looming black energy in the mansion, opened his eyes and began to tell lies.

"Where did the ghost come from in this world? Of course someone deliberately pushed it onto the ghost."

Wen Jiu looked calm: "Your Excellency, you must be like Ming Jing'er, so you went to Liujiacun to investigate, right?"

At this time, the rising sun in the east began to show its signs, shining softly on Wen Jiu's face, which seemed to be a little more bright and gentle than the last time he saw it. Lu Xu looked at the woman next to him with a bit of inquiry in his eyes.

Even Liu Miao'er, who is from Liujia Village, knows that the Wen family's wife is not an ordinary powerful one.

"Come in with me."

Lu Xu wanted to see what kind of medicine Wen Jiu Gourd was selling.

"Sir, this"

Lou Wu's face was full of shock. When had his family ever brought a woman with him when handling a case?
  "Farewell, girl" Zi Su was about to cry but had no tears.

Wen Jiu hurriedly followed Lu Xu's footsteps, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The old lady had just left Zhang Mansion, and all the servants passing by were all dressed in white.

The mourning hall had already been decorated, with white elegiac couplets hanging high and candles swaying, which made Zi Su feel panicked.

There was an unsealed coffin placed in the center of the mourning hall. Lu Xu approached the coffin and looked at the body carefully.

Sure enough, as Wu Zuo said, the deceased showed no signs of struggle, and the strangulation marks on the neck were consistent with signs of hanging.

Lu Xu raised his head and glanced at the mourning hall and the standing tablet, his face solemn.

Everything seems normal but there is something unreasonable about it.
