Knock, knock, knock!
The Xu family’s front door was knocked on, and everyone in the house was awakened at the same time. Song Wangyue even leapt up, dressed quickly and went to the front door.
Uncle Xu was arguing with a butler-like man about something.
“What’s happened?”
Uncle Xu turned around at the sound of his voice, his face full of anger, “The people from the Duke of Qi’s house have gone too far, knocking on the door in the middle of the night and insisting on seeing Young Master Gu.”
The Duke of Qi’s Mansion?
Song Wan Yue walked forward, “What do you want to see Gu Yi about?”
The housekeeper knew something about Gu Yi’s identity, so he arched his hand and said in an evasive manner, “This girl, we are looking for Young Master Gu for an urgent matter, so if he is there, please ask him to come out.”
“I don’t remember him having any friendship with your Duke of Qi.”
The housekeeper choked and was about to say something else when Xu Yan came in a hurry, hearing what Xu Bo said, his face immediately sank, “Smashing the door in the middle of the night, those who know you are looking for someone, those who don’t know will think you are at the door to take someone.”
“It was us who were abrupt.”
The housekeeper accompanied with a smile, “We do have an urgent matter and want to see Young Master Gu, please also ask him to come out for a meeting.”
“You can see him if you want to, this is the Xu Mansion, not your Qi Gong Mansion. Uncle Xu, close the door! If anyone dares knock on the door again, break his legs!”
“Yes!”
Uncle Xu answered loudly, and after Xu Yan and Song Wan Yue entered, banged the door shut and bolted it.
The steward’s face was blue with anger, but he could do nothing about it and instructed his two underlings, “You guys guard the entrance to the Xu Mansion and see when Gu Yi comes out.”
……
Song Wangyue went back inside, thinking of Gu Yi’s perverse performance today, the corners of her mouth pulled out a dangerous arc.
At this time, Gu Yi, who had just returned to South City and had removed his armour, suddenly shivered coldly.
Xiao Si noticed it and took a very strange look outside. Although it was said to be after the ugly hour, it was now April and the weather was not that cold, right?
……
The following day, the morning court.
The imperial commander knelt on the ground, his face pale as he told what he saw last night, and just as he finished, the emperor smashed over a zheng, “Demonic words confuse the people! Take him down and punish him with thirty sticks!”
The Imperial Commander was dragged off and the hall was silent.
The civil and military officials’ minds coincided with what the Commander of the Imperial Guard had just said, that golden armour, many of them had seen it when it was burnt back then, and now it had reappeared, if it wasn’t worn by a ghost who was wearing it?”
“Where is the Duke of Qi?”
“In reply to Your Majesty’s words, Duke Qi fell last night and hit his head on the ground, he is still unconscious.”
“What a bunch of trash! Pass down the decree to get rid of all the weeds in the Sin King’s mansion and cut down all the trees inside, I want to see if those sneaks still dare to come out without the cover of these things!”
At dawn, word of the haunting of King Sin’s mansion spread through the streets of the capital, and both those who rose early to do business and those who walked were talking about it.
Uncle Xu opened the door with a yawn, he hadn’t even slept well after being stirred up by those few grandchildren yesterday.
Several people passed by the door just in time to discuss:
“Have you heard, the ghost of King Qin returned to the house last night and scared those imperial soldiers enough.”
“Hush!”
Another man made a gesture of silence and reminded him, “You don’t want to die and shout for King Chin!”
The man who spoke in front of him immediately covered his mouth and looked around for a few moments to see that no one was there before he let out a sigh of relief and lowered his hand.
“Not only that, but the Duke of Qi was also stunned, and he is still unconscious.”
The Duke of Qi?
Uncle Xu turned around and ran towards the house, but he didn’t get very far before he ran into Song Wangyue who was on her way out.
“Uncle Xu, what has happened so early in the morning that you are running in such a hurry?”
Uncle Xu stopped and lowered his voice, “I just heard from someone who passed by the gate that the Qin Wang Mansion was haunted last night and that the Duke of Qi was scared out of his wits, I was just going to report the news.”
Haunted?
Song Wan Yue looked as normal, “Then take your time, the pastry shop is going to develop heart cakes today, I’ll go there early, I won’t eat breakfast at the residence.”
After leaving the palace, Song Wan Yue got into the carriage and went straight to the mansion where Song Si and Gu Yi lived.
The gate was closed and the people inside were not yet up.
Song Wangyue hooked her lips and smashed the door directly, punching it down, and a startled question came from inside, “Who is it?”
“Me!”
There was a rush of footsteps, then the door was opened and Xiao Si came out sleepily, “Miss Song, why are you so ……”
Before he finished his sentence, Song Wangyue had already lifted her foot and walked in.
Xiao Si’s heart thumped and he raised his voice, “Young master, Miss Song is here.”
The door to Gu Yi’s room was immediately opened and Gu Yi walked out from inside, seeing Song Wan Yue, his eyes narrowed with a smile, “Little girl, why are you ……”
Song Wan Yue walked straight past him, Gu Yi stood frozen in place.
Song Wan Yue walked to the door of Song Si’s room, “Big brother.”
No one answered.
Gu Yi’s brain boomed, he had used quite a lot of enchanting incense last night, Song Si probably hadn’t woken up by now.
Song Wangyue gave him a look.
Gu Yi’s heart gave a jolt, three steps forward and two steps back, pulling her outside, “Big brother must be tired from rushing over for days, let him sleep for a while longer.”
Song Wan Yue broke away from his hand and looked at him with a smirk.
Gu Yi’s heart burst with hair.
“Last night, people from Qi Guoguo’s residence went over in the middle of the night and knocked on the door looking for you, today I heard that Qi Guoguo fainted in fear last night, Gu Yi, explain to me, how could it be such a coincidence?”
“Huh?”
Gu Yi played dumb.
Song Wangyue stepped on the top of his foot and crushed it so hard that Gu Yi’s eyebrows flew up in pain, but he didn’t dare to scream.
Xiao Si covered his eyes and dared not look.
“Little, little girl ……”
Gu Yi sucked in his breath and begged pitifully, “I, I really didn’t know, you, don’t be angry okay?”
“Don’t know?”
Song Wangyue raised her eyebrows.
Gu Yi wanted to grab the door and escape, but he didn’t dare, if he dared to escape, he wouldn’t even be able to enter the Song family’s door when he returned to Qingping County.
He had learned Song Wan Yue’s temper, and offending her was even worse than offending the young master.
Dang!
There was a sudden sound from inside the house.
Song Wangyue retracted her foot and gestured for Gu Yi to go in and take a look.
Gu Yi was so relieved that he couldn’t care less about the pain in his feet and took one big step inside, casually dropping the door curtain and seeing Song Si covering her head in pain, his eyes flashed.
“Big brother, do you have a headache?”
Song Si’s voice was also a little hoarse, “I have a terrible headache, have someone go and call Yue’er to come over.”
Song Wan Yue went in and heard, lifted the curtain and went in, checked his pulse, “It should be because he caught a cold after drinking last night, take a pill and get a good night’s sleep and he will be fine.”
“I’ll go and get the pills.”
Gu Yi went out and brought in the pills, poured water and let Song Si take them, seeing that he had closed his eyes and fallen asleep again, he was about to take a long breath when he noticed Song Wan Yue’s gaze, and his heart thumped again.
