Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Gu Zheng is as heartless as his mother. He even angered the old master to the point of falling sick. In my opinion, today’s ancestral worship ceremony…”
As the man spoke, he suddenly felt someone pat his back and stopped talking.
He abruptly turned around, but there was no one behind him. However, the touch just now was terrifyingly real.
The middle-aged woman also hurriedly turned around and muttered, “Maybe it’s the leaves on the tree. Anyway, Gu Zheng…”
Before she could finish, the two of them felt someone pat them from behind. The two of them were instantly stunned. The woman shouted in exasperation, “Who is it?! Come out!”
She looked around angrily and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Her eyes were filled with horror. The mother and son had unknowingly walked down this path.
This path was the path to Yun Court, which was where Lu Qingyun lived when she was alive.
She had just said bad things about Lu Qingyun, then someone patted them from behind. Could it be…
Cold sweat trickled down her forehead. The middle-aged woman was so scared that her entire body was trembling. Her voice trembled slightly. “S-Son, let’s go. This place is too strange. That woman died at such a young age. Maybe… Ahhh!!”
The mother and son screamed. They felt as if a ghost was floating around them and was about to take their lives.
In the study on the second floor of Yun Court.
When Gu Zheng heard the shouts outside, he raised his eyes slightly and looked outside. Then, he looked at the person opposite the computer. “It’s nothing. Continue.”
On the small path in Yun Court, the middle-aged woman clearly did not see anyone around her. However, when she turned around, a face suddenly appeared in front of her. She was so scared that she screamed crazily. Her son was so scared that he squatted on the floor and covered his eyes. The two of them screamed until their throats were hoarse. They then collapsed on the floor, their bodies still trembling uncontrollably.
Qiao Xi stood in front of the two of them and smiled in satisfaction when she saw their sorry state.
After a minute, Qiao Xi slowly opened her mouth and said with a smile, “What are you shouting for? Could it be that you saw a ghost?”
Hearing Qiao Xi’s voice, the middle-aged woman raised her eyes tentatively and realized that it was a young and beautiful woman in front of her. She carefully sized her up and felt that she seemed to have seen this person somewhere before.
After thinking for a long time, she finally reacted. Wasn’t this Gu Zheng’s weak wife? The person who patted them from behind just now was this little vixen! She was clearly doing it on purpose!
The middle-aged woman was burning with anger. She struggled to stand up and roared, “Mrs. Gu, why did you scare us on purpose? Do you know that scaring people like this can kill them?”
Qiao Xi had an innocent expression. “I wasn’t scaring you!”
“Didn’t you take photos of us just now? Why are you so vicious at such a young age? You and Gu Zheng are really…”
Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Xi’s eyes suddenly turned cold, but the corners of her mouth were still filled with a smile. “I really didn’t take any photos of you! Are you hallucinating? I was walking on this path when I suddenly heard your heart-wrenching screams. I thought there were people in danger, so I ran over to take a look. After all, I stay in Yun Court. Your voices were very loud!”
The middle-aged woman instantly choked as fear spread from her heart to her limbs and bones. She looked at the innocent and confused Qiao Xi, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.
Could… Could it be that… something really patted them just now? If it was really Qiao Xi who patted them, it was impossible for them not to have seen anything after turning around! So was it really a ghost?
“Are you Third Uncle’s wife?” Qiao Xi chuckled and asked.
The middle-aged woman looked around warily. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. I just think that you look very afraid. Did you encounter something paranormal just now?” Qiao Xi pretended to ask casually.
Hearing Qiao Xi’s words, the woman’s entire body could not help but tremble. Previously, someone had always said that Yun Court was haunted and there would be figures and voices at night. Lu Qingyun died for no reason. Could it be that her ghost was causing trouble here?
She was so scared that her entire body went cold. She looked around again.
Qiao Xi smiled and comforted her. “Madam, don’t be afraid. I can help you so that you won’t be afraid of ghosts anymore.”
The middle-aged woman looked at her with a puzzled expression. Why was Qiao Xi helping her? Could it be that she wanted to please her? When she thought about this, the woman instantly became arrogant and smiled proudly. “Alright! Since you’re willing to help me, then quickly…”
Before she could finish speaking, the woman felt a sharp pain on her face. She could not help but grunt, then she looked at Qiao Xi in disbelief. “You hit me? Are you crazy?”
