Chapter 228 Doubt

Mi Congcong knew that this matter cannot be concealed, so he couldn't help but said to Lou Chenxiao: "Call Zhuangtou here."

She originally planned to wait for her brother and the others to go back to the house to rest before settling this matter, but the crying never stopped.

Hearing what Mi Congcong said, all the people present vaguely guessed something, their expressions changed slightly, they all tensed up and held their breath.

Lin Miaoyu unconsciously leaned towards Mi Dagang, and Mi Dagang held her hand under the table: "It's okay because Congcong is here."

Zhuangtou looked flustered when he came over, and Mi Congcong asked calmly, "Zhuangtou, whose child is crying?"

"This... this... I don't know." Zhuangtou hesitated, unable to explain why.

Lou Chenxiao's handsome face sank, and he knocked his fan on the table: "Just say what you want!"

"Eldest Young Master!" Zhuangtou was so frightened that he "plopped" and knelt down in front of everyone, and said in horror, "Eldest Young Master, it's a brat, and everyone said it was a brat crying!"

As soon as Zhuangtou finished speaking, everyone gasped.

"It's really a ghost!" Shangguan Yiyue became agitated, her eyes darkened, and she passed out.

"Yiyue!" Guo Hongyuan grabbed her.

Mi Congcong hurried forward to catch Shangguan Yiyue's pulse.

"How?" Guo Hongyuan said anxiously.

Mi Congcong frowned slightly, and said: "Send her back to the room first, if she wakes up, you must be with her, don't let her be frightened again."

Shangguan Yiyue's symptoms are obviously heart palpitations caused by excessive fright. Shangguan Yiyue has been emotionally unstable because of the incident in Shuhun Village. , fortunately discovered in time.

"Congcong, is Yiyue alright?" Guo Hongyuan asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's just that I was frightened. When she wakes up, she must be comforted."

"I know." After staying at Shangguan's house for so many days, Guo Hongyuan already had experience in taking care of Shangguan Yiyue.

After Guo Hongyuan took Shangguan Yiyue away, Mi Congcong continued to ask Zhuangtou: "How do you know it's a kid who is crying?"

"It sounds like the cry of a baby in swaddling. It's been around Zhuangzi for a long time. It's not just the little ones, everyone said so." Zhuangtou's voice trembled like a sieve.

"How long has this crying been going on?" Mi Congcong asked.

"It's been about half a month, and this cry has appeared every night."

"Did any baby die in Zhuangzi half a month ago?" Lou Chenxiao asked.

"No... I haven't heard of it!" Zhuangtou said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Lou Chenxiao and Mi Congcong looked at each other, Mi Congcong understood what he meant, and said, "Call all the women in the village to the main courtyard, I have something to ask!"

Zhuangtou looked at Lou Chenxiao subconsciously, Lou Chenxiao said lightly: "Do as Mr. Mi said."

"Yes!"

After Zhuangtou retreated, Mi Congcong said to the others: "Take your talismans and go back to your room. Don't come out if you have anything to do!"

"Haolin, let's share a room together!" Zhuang Baihan said, holding Wan Haolin's shoulders tightly.

"Da Gang..." Lin Miaoyu looked at Mi Dagang anxiously.

Even a grown man like Zhuang Baihan is afraid, let alone a girl like Lin Miaoyu.

Mida just thought about it and asked, "If you can't sleep, shall we chat here?"

Mi Dagang's voice was soft and steady, with a soothing effect, Lin Miaoyu nodded: "Okay."

"Why don't we chat here too?" Zhuang Baihan looked at Wan Haolin, thinking that it would be safer if there were more people.

"Let's go, idiot!" Wan Haolin dragged him out of the dining room.

They are unmarried couples, why are they here to join in the fun?
"Sister-in-law, I'll put amulets on the doors and windows, it's safe here, don't be afraid." Mi Congcong comforted Lin Miaoyu, and went out with Lou Chenxiao and the others.

Originally, he came here for fun, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and Mi Congcong was also very helpless.

The autumn wind was bleak, and all the lanterns that could be hung in the main courtyard were hung up, which still gave people a cold feeling. Zhuangtou brought the village and all the women in the village to the main courtyard, waiting for Mi Congcong to ask questions.

"Zhuangzi is so big, there are only nine women?" Mi Congcong asked after counting.

"Mr. Mi, now there are only a few tenants living in the village. Among these women, one is a young mother-in-law and two are young daughters-in-law." Zhuangtou replied.

Other tenants have moved out one after another in the past half a month.

Mi Congcong glanced around among the women, whispered a few words to Xiuxin who was behind him, and Xiuxin went back to the room to bring a pen and paper.

"You are Zhuangtou's lady?" Mi Congcong called out a fat woman in her 40s.

"Yes, Mr. Mi." The woman replied tremblingly.

Mi Congcong observed Zhuangtou's lady's expression while asking, and asked Xiuxin to record all the questions she answered.

Mi Congcong made such a battle, which frightened these women who had never seen the world.

After asking, Mi Congcong said, "Miss Zeng Er stays here, the others can go back."

Zhuangtou's surname is Zeng, this second lady Zeng is Zhuangtou's second daughter-in-law, although this second lady Zeng tried her best to bear it, but the tears in her eyes could not be hidden no matter what, obviously she knew something.

Seeing this, Zhuangtou became anxious: "Mr. Mi, I don't know what my second daughter-in-law did wrong. Do you want to keep her?"

"Mr. Mi told you to go back, why are you asking so many questions here?" Mo Qi scolded.

Zhuangtou gave his wife a wink, and Zhuangtou's wife smiled at Mi Congcong and said, "Mr. Mi, my second daughter-in-law is not in good health, and she can't do much if she stays. If Mr. Mi has any orders, how about Let me and the master stay here?"

Mi Congcong looked back and forth between the faces of Zhuangtou, Mrs. Zhuangtou, and Mrs. Zeng, and then smiled lightly after a while and said, "Since you want to stay, then you should all stay!"

Hearing this, Zhuangtou and Mrs. Zhuangtou looked at each other with a little apprehension in their eyes.

"Come on, go catch ghosts with me!"

When Mi Congcong said this, he used the same flat tone as talking about the weather.

The wind was rumbling, and the cries of babies outside the village were far and near, and Zhuangtou and Zhuangtou's wife shuddered at the same time.

"Master Mi—"

Second Lady Zeng suddenly cried out.

"Mi Gongzi, my second daughter-in-law is not in good health, and the night dew is heavy, please let her go back first."

There was an imperceptible trill in the Zhuangtou lady's voice, and her forced calm reaction made Mi Congcong even more suspicious.

Ordinary people would definitely be scared when they heard that she was going to hunt ghosts, and there was no need to hide their true emotions.

"So much nonsense!" Lou Chenxiao walked over impatiently: "Is it deaf to being the young master? If you don't want to do it, get the young master out of Zhuangzi now!"

The young master got angry, no one could resist, Zhuangtou hurriedly said: "Yes, we will go with Mr. Mi."
