Chapter 80 maid and housekeeper

In the evening, after the simple ceremony, Wang Jiacheng wanted to have some tenderness with Yue'er, but seeing her tired look, he had to tell her to go back to the room early to rest, and then went back to his study to read at night with the light on. Yue'er took Suqin back to the wing room on the south side of the courtyard, after washing, she sent Suqin to sleep in the next room.Suqin said that she would go back to her original residence to pick up some clothes.Yue'er allowed her to go. After the week was completely quiet, Yue'er sat under the lamp, then took out the sachet that Mrs. Wang gave her during the day, and observed carefully, but there was nothing unusual.She found scissors to open the sachet, and there was a small red bead inside, like polished jade, with a faint red light, but it was not special.She put her nose close to Yuanzhu, and immediately smelled a faint strange smell, the same as the smell in Mrs. Wang's room.

Is this bead also made of realgar? Yue'er thought for a while, stood up and looked around, and after making sure that no one was spying on her, she quickly wrapped the little ball in a handkerchief and hid it close to her body.Then he took out a pearl of about the same size from his little baggage, put it in a sachet, put it on the table, turned off the light and went to sleep. In the middle of the night, a dark cloud floated from a distance to cover the moon, and the entire Wang family mansion was shrouded in thick darkness. At this time, a white shadow appeared in the yard.The white shadow was very erratic, and under the dim light, it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, and it disappeared into a row of rooms in a flash.

Then, everything was silent. Not long after, there seemed to be some kind of strange sound coming from the wing room, but it was very short, and it disappeared after a while. The next day, Yue'er woke up very early, and the first thing she did after waking up was to look at the table—the sachet was still in the old place.She smiled lightly, and put the sachet into her sleeve casually. It was time to wash up, but Suqin was not there to serve. "Suqin, Suqin—" Yue'er called twice, but Suqin still didn't respond. Did you oversleep?Yue'er had no choice but to fetch water to wash herself. Fortunately, she was born in a poor family, and she always did it by herself, so it didn't matter if she had someone to serve her.

After dressing up, it was already high in the sun, but Suqin still did not come over.This time Yue'er was really anxious and a little puzzled, so she came to the next door and was about to knock on the door, but found that the door was ajar, and there was a smell of blood coming out of it.She immediately felt uneasy. Nothing will happen, will it?The door creaked open, and when Yue'er saw the situation inside the house, she suddenly became stiff all over. I saw Suqin laying stiffly on the ground in a close-fitting little coat, motionless, her throat was bloody and bloody, and there was a pool of black blood on the ground—it must have been dead for a long time.What's even more frightening is that her already ugly face became contorted due to fright, and her skin all over her body also showed a sickly blue-black color, and it was shriveled as if her flesh and blood had been sucked dry!

"Ah! A dead person! A dead person!—" The exclamation sounded suddenly. Yue'er came back to her senses, and hurriedly turned her head to look, but it was the housekeeper—he had stood behind Yue'er at some point. This time Yue'er was quite frightened, peeking at her, although the butler tried his best to pretend to be terrified, but there was no trace of fear in his eyes, it was clear that he was acting for others.She thought to herself: From the looks of it, Suqin's death is probably related to him, maybe he was the one who killed her.Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered Suqin's words: the previous wives died not long after marrying the old man, and they were all called "Yue'er"...

Thinking of this, a chill hit her heart, she couldn't bear the fear anymore, she screamed, and at the same time her body trembled, as if she would fall down at any moment. After a commotion, Wang Jiacheng rushed over with a group of servants after hearing the news.Yue'er tilted her body and fell into his arms. Wang Jiacheng's face was still pale, but there was no particularly unexpected expression. With his arms around Yue'er, he took a hasty look at the situation in the room, and then waved to the housekeeper to deal with the aftermath.At this time, Yue'er's body was still shaking, as if she was frightened, Wang Jiacheng comforted her softly.

Taking advantage of people not paying attention, Yue'er secretly glanced at those servants, and saw that they all had blank expressions, like a group of zombies! What secrets are hidden in the huge royal mansion? Time flowed like running water, and a few days passed in a blink of an eye.Everything was as if it had never happened, Wang Jiacheng locked himself in the study all day long, Mrs. Wang never showed up again, the mansion was still in order, Yue'er even doubted whether the maid named Suqin really existed. On this day, at noon, Yue'er was walking in the garden of the mansion alone.Bypassing the rockery and a few thick trees, he walked to the pond, and sat down silently on an inconspicuous Taihu Lake stone by the pond, staring at the pond water, thoughtfully.Not long after, she suddenly felt that someone was approaching her.

"Hey! What should I do?" Yue'er frowned, looking so panicked and uneasy. "Cough—Madam Yue'er, don't be too scared." Yue'er jumped up in fright, turned her head away, it was the housekeeper. Seeing that Yue'er just lowered his head and didn't speak, the steward leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Yue'er, do you know that there used to be - haunted by ghosts?" "Ah!?" Yue'er screamed, her body swayed twice, she was about to fall, but she was supported by the housekeeper. "It's a coincidence that there were four wives named Yue'er in front of you. However, every few days after marrying the master, Mrs. Yue'er would die mysteriously like Qinqin. You say, this Isn't it scary?" The housekeeper suddenly smiled strangely, and continued: "Everyone says it was Madam who did it. Think about it, Madam hates you for taking away the master's love for her, so she is only willing to get rid of you, dont you agree?"

Yue'er looked at the housekeeper in surprise, "Why are the ladies in front...all called Yue'er?" "I don't know, maybe it's a coincidence." "They were all killed by Madam? Could it be... Madam is a ghost?" "She's not a ghost, but she's scarier than a ghost!" Yue'er was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and her body kept shaking. Seeing her like this, the housekeeper smiled and said, "I'm kind enough to remind you, don't believe what Madam says, and don't keep what Madam gives you. Otherwise... Maybe tomorrow, or Just tonight, you will end up like Suqin!"

"What should I do?" "Did Madam give you anything that day?" Trembling, Yue'er took out the sachet from her sleeve and said in a trembling voice, "Then, this is it." "Why do you still keep it? Throw it away!" The housekeeper's voice was urgent, as if Yue'er was holding a poisonous snake in her hand.Yue'er hurriedly threw the sachet away. "It's... so cold here, I'm going back to my room first." Before the housekeeper could respond, Yue'er ran into the woods in a panic. "What a stupid woman..." the housekeeper whispered, seeing that there was no one around, he walked over to pick up the sachet.He first weighed it with his hand, then pinched it, and nodded in satisfaction.Then he put the sachet on the Taihu rock that Yue'er had just sat on, found another stone the size of a jar, and threw it down on the sachet.

Once, twice, three times... The butler's face was full of murderous intent. The butler didn't stop until the contents of the sachet were smashed into powder.At this time, there was finally a smile on his expressionless face, and two rows of scorched teeth were exposed in his grinning mouth.Finally, he tied the sachet to the stone, and with a "plop", the sachet sank into the bottom of the pool together with the stone. The butler approached the pond, checked it for a long time, and was sure that the thing had sunk to the bottom of the pond and would never come up again, so he turned and left. Suddenly, he stopped his figure and fixed his eyes on that unremarkable Taihu Lake stone, as if he had discovered something incredible, his face was constantly changing...
