Chapter 26 The Maid Who Died by Drowning

The sleeping Lord Xiahou was finally awakened by the messy voice, rubbed the center of his brows in boredom, got up, put on his robe and walked to the outside of the screen, and saw Mrs. Zheng stretching out her hands indiscriminately as if seeing a ghost, going crazy waving like.

Lord Xiahou approached, hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab her waving arm, and heard her yelling incessantly: "Sun Yuyan, you will die when you die, why do you still haunt me with ghosts, get out of here , get out!"

"Yunrong! Have you had enough trouble!" Master Xia Hou was furious, and immediately roared, taking a deep breath and looking at her.

Hearing Lord Xiahou's roar, Zheng finally came back to his senses, opened his eyes tremblingly and looked at the person in front of him, confirmed that it was Lord Xiahou, cried "wow", hugged Lord Xiahou tightly and said incoherently: "I saw a ghost just now. My sister came back to me and said that we shouldn't leave her daughter in the mountains and leave her alone for ten years."

"Okay, it's okay, you just had a nightmare. Yuyan died a long time ago, how could he come back." Master Xiahou impatiently comforted Zheng's emotions, helped her stand up and walked back to the bed .

Zheng Shi was frightened, and she was still thinking about the scene she saw just now, her face was still a little pale, and her fingers were cold and lifeless.

The white shadow floated around to the back window of the wing room in the back garden, and then disappeared through the window.

Xia Ningxi returned to the room, tore off the white gauze on her body, and strode towards the table.

Bai Luo hastily poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. Seeing her pale face smeared with face powder and red lips dripping blood with rouge, she blinked and asked, "Sister Xia, how's the situation? Are you scared?" Is that the Zheng family?"

Xia Ningxi poured the tea into her mouth in one breath, and said with a sigh: "I was shocked, and I also got some clues. I was still young when I left the Hou's mansion, so I don't know why my mother was demoted from the main room to the concubine's room." , now I finally understand why they didn't let me know."

Bai Luo rolled up his sleeves and asked curiously, "Tell me quickly, what is the reason?"

Xia Ningxi clicked his tongue, frowned, and said, "I said I was going to see my second brother, but I forgot because I was busy with my own business. Let's go see him tomorrow morning!"

Bai Luo curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "Why did you answer the wrong question?"

"I'll tell you after I find out the truth. My mother was wronged. I haven't found out the truth yet, so I can't tell you." After Xia Ningxi finished speaking, she went to the washstand and washed her face, restoring her cleanliness His face has an elegance that comes out of the mud but not stained.

She went to the dressing table and combed her hair. Looking at the person in the mirror, Yin Chen's gentle smile and the words she said to her suddenly appeared in her mind: "Miss Xia is the prettiest girl I have ever seen. , the most special woman."

Pursing her lips and smiling slightly, she lowered her eyes slightly and rested her chin, thinking to herself: "Yin Chen, who are you? Why is my master, who is not stained with the world, always respect you?"

Seeing her in a daze, Bai Luo walked to her side, wondering, "Sister Xia, what are you thinking?"

"It's nothing, it's getting late, it's time to rest." Xia Ningxi took a deep breath, stood up and walked back to the bed, lay down on her side, closed her eyes and started to fall asleep.

Bai Luo scratched his cheeks, turned back into his original body and returned to the bamboo basket on the table, closed his eyes and rested.

After a peaceful night's sleep, Xia Ningxi got up early and was busy dressing up when she suddenly heard a commotion outside, as if something had happened, someone was whispering and pointing.

Frowning, she looked up at the maid who combed her hair, wondering, "What happened outside?"

The servant girl sighed, frowned, and said: "Early this morning, someone found that Qing Xing in the Shizi's room was drowned in the lotus pond, so everyone gathered by the lotus pond early in the morning to watch. The servant girl has not had time to go Look, but it doesn't sound like drowning, because she's not dead at all except unconscious."

"There is such a thing."

Xia Ningxi's pupils shrank, she took a deep breath and stood up, "Let's go and have a look!"

The servant girl pursed her lips and said, "Miss San, the injury on your face hasn't healed yet, so you better stop walking around!"

"I'm fine, go and get me a veil, I'll just cover it up." Xia Ningxi lowered her eyes and straightened her sleeves, smiling gently.

The maid hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, turned around and went to the cabinet to get a veil that matched Xia Ningxi's light purple dress, and carefully helped her tie it on.

Xia Ningxi nodded in satisfaction, hugged Bai Luo in the bamboo basket and went out.The spirit beast Little Putao quietly followed her not far behind.

All the way to the lotus pond, there are many people watching around the lotus pond.

Right now, the corpse of the maid Qing Xing has been fished out of the water. Master Xia Hou stood nearby, looked at her with frowned eyes, waved his hands and said, "Make arrangements, let her family members come to pick her up, and give her some more money. as compensation."

The butler Xia Bo hurriedly responded, and arranged for someone to go to inform Qing Xing's family.

Zheng's face turned pale, trembling all over her body, she held Master Xia's hand tightly, and said in a low voice in panic: "Master Hou, my sister's old house was flooded yesterday, and someone died in the house early this morning, don't you think it's too much?" Is it a coincidence?"

Master Xiahou glanced at her impatiently, and said with a flick of his sleeves, "She has been dead for nearly ten years, even if there is a ghost, she has already been reincarnated, are you thinking too much?"

"But Marquis, don't forget that she still has a daughter who is still alive. Maybe she can't let go of her own daughter."

"That's enough! Don't mention her again! People cannot be resurrected after death. Even if Ning Xi is an evil star, she is also the flesh and blood of this Marquis. If it is not possible, Ben Marquis will arrange for someone to send her back to the mountain now." Lord Xiahou became annoyed, Turn around and leave.Turning around, he happened to see Xia Ningxi standing a few steps behind him with a veil on.

Cautiously lowering her head, Xia Ningxi leaned forward slightly: "Father, aunt."

Zheng's shoulders trembled suddenly, and she turned her head to look at Xia Ningxi, with an imperceptible sense of confusion in her expression.

Master Xia Hou let out a sigh, frowned and said: "Someone died here, and you were injured again, it's better not to walk around, hurry back to the room and raise it!"

Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes, and her eyes fell on the dead maid. A golden light flashed across her pupils, and she could easily see the evil spirit remaining on her body.

After clearing her mind, she said softly, "Father, I'm afraid there is something unclean in our house, why don't we invite a mage to take a look."

"Ridiculous! This is the Hou's Mansion, how could there be unclean things." Master Xia Hou didn't believe it at all, he waved his sleeves angrily, and strode away.

Mrs. Zheng followed closely behind Lord Xiahou and was about to leave. When she passed by Xia Ningxi, Xia Ningxi reminded her in a low voice: "Auntie, if you want to survive, you'd better ask the mage to take a look. Maybe, then Clean stuff is for you."

Zheng's lips trembled, his face turned pale, and he quickened his pace and left in a panic.

Xia Bo impatiently waved his hand to disperse the onlookers, then walked up to Xia Ningxi, and said respectfully: "Miss San, you are injured, you should hurry back to your room!"

Xia Ningxi didn't stay too long, turned around lightly, and strode away.

Bai Luo moved around in her arms, looked up at her, and said worriedly: "Sister Xia, there must be a monster in this lotus pond, don't you plan to take that monster away?"
