Distressed wife

Chapter 244 The Hidden Secret (2)
The girl quickly retorted, "Your servant...the servant did not see the shadow."

"Really?" Mu Ziyan continued to move forward, waited until he reached the steps, and said with a low smile, "Then tell me, how did she scratch you?"

"Slave... Slave... Slave really saw the female ghost." The girl couldn't say anything, but kept shaking her head.

Mu Ziyan stood at the door, pushed the half-open door open, and then walked in, when a figure really flashed by, Qi Xuan hurriedly stood in front of her, "Be careful."

Mu Ziyan raised her eyes to look at the figure, then turned to look at the girl, and said, "Bring the lantern."

"Miss." Rue Xiang walked over with a lantern.

Mu Ziyan took the lantern and walked in. The inside was covered with dust, and there was nothing wrong with looking around, but what happened to that flashing shadow?

When Mu Ziyan was observing carefully, he suddenly heard a scream, and saw a ghostly white shadow flashing behind him, Qi Xuan quickly turned around and chased after him, but the white shadow disappeared without a trace trace.

"Ghost! There is a ghost!" Everyone saw it with their own eyes, and they were so frightened that they ran away.

Mu Ziyan turned her eyes to look at their panic-stricken appearance, a sneer flashed across her eyes, and then said, "If there is really a ghost, you will definitely be caught if you run away like this."

"No, I don't want to stay here anymore." The young man cried in fright.

Mu Ziyan raised her eyes to look at Qi Xueer, and saw that she was also pale and stood there in horror.

Mu Ziyan stepped forward slowly, "There are so many of us, but there is only one female ghost. As long as we don't disperse, she won't dare to touch you."

"Big cousin is right." Qi Xueer didn't expect that there really was a ghost in the Duke's mansion, but she didn't understand, how could this female ghost come out to make trouble tonight?

Mu Ziyan didn't believe it, she was a thousand-year-old ghost, she knew whether it was a real ghost or someone pretending to be a ghost, but looking at the frightened people in front of her, she whispered, "Cousin, order me to The lights here are all lit, if it is really a ghost, she must not be able to see the light."

"That's right, ghosts are afraid of fire." Qi Yu'er quickly agreed.

"Since that's the case, then I won't let go and catch this brat today." The person in front of Mu Ziyan, a thousand-year-old ghost, isn't a brat after all.

Zhang Ni was obviously taken aback by Mu Ziyan's words, and when he looked up at Qi Xuan, the corners of his mouth were obviously slightly curled up, and he felt that this girl was really fearless, and even her tone was not small.

After Mu Ziyan ordered people to light it up and wait, she also turned around and walked into the dilapidated house, but didn't find anything unusual, then walked out of the house and looked down at the bluestone floor under her feet.

Zhang Zong and Mrs. Lu came over, "But what did you find?"

"This person should be very familiar with the Duke's Mansion, and there should be stories in this courtyard." Mu Ziyan said, looking up at the Duke's wife.

Mrs. Guo's face was slightly stiff, and she looked at Mu Ziyan unnaturally, "Someone died here."

"How did you die?" When everyone heard this, they gasped in fright.

However, Mu Ziyan asked calmly. To her, it was normal for someone to die in this mansion. What's more, she felt that there must be a reason for someone to make a fuss about this courtyard.

Mrs. Duke looked at Mu Ziyan, "Come and talk."

Mu Ziyan nodded slightly, and then left with the Duke's wife, and when they arrived in the pavilion not far away, Qi Xuan followed closely. The two looked at the Duke's wife, waiting for her to speak.

"It used to be an aunt of your second uncle who lived here. She was being favored at the time. Your second aunt was weak, so she let this aunt do whatever she wanted. As time passed, this aunt became more thoughtful. Later, your second aunt was happy. Yes, your second uncle is very happy, but this aunt got jealous, so she secretly drugged your second aunt, but the child was not saved, and your second aunt was sad, so she followed her, and the aunt got caught He also hanged himself in this room." Mrs. Guo said, "Your second uncle has been disheartened since then, and has never married for the rest of his life. He went to the border with your grandfather."

"Did that aunt ever have a child?" Mu Ziyan asked in a low voice.

"It never happened before." The Duke's wife said, "The old lady was afraid that your second uncle would be sad, so she sealed off this yard, and no one mentioned this matter again."

Mu Ziyan had never heard of this matter in her previous life, and now she hears it with great embarrassment. Ever since she was sensible, she knew that her second uncle had never been remarried, and that he was alone until his death.

It turns out that there is another incident here, but whose family is this aunt from?What happened to the aunt?

"Your second aunt is the daughter-in-law of the second wife of the Yin family." Mrs. Guo said.

"The Yin family?" Mu Ziyan narrowed her eyes slightly, "Is that the Yin family that was exiled?"

"That's right." Mrs. Guo nodded her head.

"What about Auntie?" Mu Ziyan continued to ask.

"That aunt was brought from the border by your second uncle, she is just a peasant girl." The Duke's wife continued.

"I don't think it's as simple as a peasant girl." Mu Ziyan said lightly.

"You girl, do you think I can't trick you?" Mrs. Guogong said in a low voice when she saw the corner of Mu Ziyan's mouth twitching.

"That's not the case, Auntie, it's just that everything in that room hasn't been touched?" Mu Ziyan raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Guogong.

"Naturally, I haven't touched it." Mrs. Guo said, "What's the matter with the dead man's things?"

"That's right." Mu Ziyan continued, "If that aunt is a peasant girl, and she is not an ordinary peasant girl, then Yan'er just went in and saw a painting hanging on the wall. , I know that I have practiced for a long time, and the four treasures of the study on the desk are all from treasures. This is not the knowledge of ordinary peasant girls. The Four Treasures of the Study are so neatly arranged, and the tea sets on the table are all top-grade, some of which are unique, and the room is full of elegance."

Seeing what Mu Ziyan said, Mrs. Guo Gong responded in a low voice, "You are sure."

"Auntie, I think it's from that girl." Mu Ziyan said lightly, then turned around and walked forward.
