Chapter 270 The Weird Mansion

Soon they headed up the hill.

On the top of the mountain, there is indeed a big house.

In front of the house, there are two fiery red lanterns, very conspicuous in this dark night.

The surrounding area is full of forests, and at a glance, there is no end in sight.

There was actually the sound of crows in the woods.

Chu Baihan had already told Yan Lin and the others to hide in the dark, while she led Nan Xing and Tang Yu to knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock."

The knock on the door was very abrupt in this silent night.

After a while, footsteps came.

With a sound of "Yiya", the door was opened.

An old man poked his head out.

His hair was still dark, but his beard was all white.

The body and face are extremely thin, as if there is no flesh in the body, only a layer of skin and a skeleton.

Those eyes were deeply sunken, like two black holes embedded in his head.

The moment he saw the other party, Nan Xing was frightened.

She paled for a moment, then quickly backed away.

Chu Baihan frowned slightly, but remained calm.

"Old man, we are here to see your Patriarch." Chu Baihan said slowly.

"The Patriarch has already rested, please go back."

The old man spoke with a hoarse voice, like the sound of stones rubbing against each other, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Our family members want to discuss a business with your Patriarch, so they sent us here overnight. If Patriarch An is resting, it's fine for us to wait." Chu Baihan said quickly.

Nan Xing also reacted quickly, and she also came forward and said, "Old man, it takes time to go back to Beijing from here, and it's not safe at night. Otherwise, you let us stay at An's house for one night, so Tomorrow morning, we will be able to see Patriarch An."

"We settle down and never leave anyone overnight." The old man said coldly.

"Old man, we really won't disturb you, please accommodate us and let us stay overnight." Nan Xing said pitifully.

She also took out a bag of silver taels from her body.

"Our family members really value this business, thinking that we will get an answer tomorrow morning. If we go back now, he will be angry. Please, help us, we can give you all the money .”

But seeing the bulging money bag, the old man was not interested at all.

After he sized Chu Baihan and Nan Xing carefully, he gave Tang Yu a final perfunctory glance.

"Who is outside your family?" He continued to ask.

"It's Yuanwai Wu." Nan Xing quickly took out the token.

"It turned out to be Yuanwai Wu, so he can be regarded as a regular guest of the owner. I can let you in, but there are a few requirements..."

Hearing that he finally let go, both Chu Baihan and Nan Xing heaved a sigh of relief.

Chu Baihan hurriedly said, "Of course it is possible, old man, please tell me."

"First, you are not allowed to run around at night, and you are not allowed to disturb anyone in the house. Second, there are not many guest rooms in the house, and there is only one room. That can only accommodate the two of you girls, and the other has to sleep in the woodshed gone."

"It's okay, old man, I have rough skin and thick flesh, so it's fine to sleep in a woodshed."

Tang Yu scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

The old man withdrew his eyes, then opened the door, "Come in."

Walking into the house, Chu Baihan and the others were shocked by the scene before them.

There are many white lanterns hanging inside.

The whole yard is full of white lanterns.

There are red lanterns outside, but there are so many white lanterns inside.

What exactly is going on?

"Old man, is your family holding a funeral recently?" Nan Xing asked tentatively.

"If you shouldn't ask, don't ask." The old man didn't have much patience, he glanced at Nan Xing coldly, and then warned.

Nan Xing sneered, and couldn't ask any more questions.

Chu Baihan carefully looked at the layout of the house, and then remembered it in his heart.

They walked for a long time, and half of the servants could not see them.

Finally, the old man led them to the most remote house in the house.

"You two, you can rest here tonight. Remember, don't run around. I will take you to see the Patriarch early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, old man." Chu Baihan thanked softly.

The firewood room was next to it, and Tang Yu was arranged to go there.

After the door was closed, Nan Xing began to frantically touch his arm.

"Princess, this house is really scary, should we evacuate first?"

she said worriedly.

"Don't worry. Have you noticed that our room is a bit special. "

Chu Baihan sat on the chair and under the table, then raised his eyes to look at Nan Xing, and asked such a question.

"This room is special?" Nan Xing frowned.

She tried hard to think, but couldn't figure out what was so special about it.

"Just now when I came in from the outside, this princess found that almost every room in this house is covered with white lanterns. But there are no white lanterns at our door." Chu Baihan said slowly.

Hearing this, Nan Xing also reacted.

She patted her head and said, "That's right, there are indeed no white lanterns at our gate."

But she quickly said depressedly: "Could it be because we are a guest room, so there are no white lanterns?"

"Do you really believe that old man said that they settled down with only one guest room?" Chu Baihan asked quietly.

"Naturally, the slave doesn't believe it. How could there be only one guest room left in such a big Anjia. The old man is probably refusing. But the slave doesn't quite understand. Since he is willing to let us in, why doesn't he arrange for an extra room?" The guest room, so that Tang Yu will not sleep in the firewood room. If not, he simply won't let us in at all."

Nan Xing spoke depressedly.

"So, this room should be very special." Chu Baihan said meaningfully.

Soon, she got up and said, "Search the house, maybe you will find something."

"Yes, princess."

The two of them started searching the house.

Chu Baihan's eyes quickly fell on the quilt not far away.

Then, she glanced at the table next to her.

"This room is really spotless." She sighed softly.

Nan Xing came to her senses in an instant, and she quickly said, "If this is a guest room, according to what those outsiders said, the An family never let people into the house, then this place shouldn't be so clean."

"Maybe someone has stayed here before us." Chu Baihan murmured softly.

"Eldest Princess, could it be Miss Jiang? She is really settling down!" Nan Xing's expression brightened.

They keep searching.

"Princess, look." Nan Xing found an earring under the corner of the table.

"This is something from Yan Kingdom." Chu Baihan could tell at a glance that this earring was not something that Nanduan Kingdom should have.

"Looking at it this way, there is a great chance that Jiang Yu has stayed here."

Chu Baihan's tone suddenly turned cold.
