Thinking back carefully, the conversation last night was very ordinary. The master and servant were calmer than the other. Ruo Nanzhen didn't know the cause and effect, so she couldn't tell that the courtyard was "haunted".

Seeing Nan Zhen staring at her for a moment, Fan Ran couldn't help it after a while and asked, "What doubts do you have, little master?"

"There are some."

Nan Zhen smiled and cut straight to the point, "Yesterday I heard from Jia Jia that Miss Fan likes wind chimes, won't the disturbance of the ringing disturb your rest?"

Fan Ran originally thought that she would ask about the "weird" scenes she saw in her eyes these days, but she didn't expect that she would ask about something irrelevant. Did not notice."

"Did you wake up in the middle of the night?"

Fan Ran shook her head, "No."

Nan Zhen asked again, "In the past few days, do you feel in a daze before your eyes, as if something is floating around?"

"I can vaguely detect some dark shadows, but when I look closely, there is nothing there," Fan Ran thought for a while, and continued, "However, when the lights were turned off the night before yesterday, I did see something flashing past the window. At that time Jiajia is here too."

She turned her head to look at Jiajia, and Jiajia responded immediately, "That's right, because I practiced kung fu when I was young, I even chased him out to check, but I found nothing."

Last night, she guessed that Nan Zhen and Chu Li should have seen that they knew martial arts, so they were suspicious.

Now I just take this opportunity to take the initiative to speak out about this matter, hoping to dispel the other party's doubts.

But she never thought that after Nan Zhen finished listening, the smile in her eyes deepened, which made the master and servant a little puzzled.

"Ah!" Cao Yue exclaimed suddenly, "Little master, do you know what's going on? Don't those unclean things have been swimming around in the incense garden?"

She looked at the talisman papers pasted around her, feeling a sense of sadness in her heart.

What a powerful thing this must be, even a yard full of yellow talismans can't hold it back!
When Nan Zhen heard her question, she smiled and comforted her, "Madam, don't worry, it's not a difficult matter. After tomorrow, you can return your residence to peace."

After Cao Yue finished listening, she finally settled down and murmured, "That's good, that's good."

The whisper fell on the corridor, which made Fan Ran understand.

She didn't speak, just lowered her eyes, covering the emotions in her eyes.

Nan Zhen stayed in the Ranxiangyuan for about half an hour, and when Fan Ran said that she was tired and wanted to go into the room to rest, she also shook the whisk and walked away.

Passing by a water pavilion, you can see the exquisite carvings on the wall, the algae in the pond, and the koi shuttle freely. The scenery is excellent.

At this time, Chu Li should have not come back, and she had nothing to do when she went back to the small courtyard in the bamboo forest, so she simply stopped and was about to rest.

There was bait on the railing of the water pavilion, Nan Zhen picked up a pinch and threw it into the water. Soon, the surrounding koi swarmed up and devoured it.

Nan Zhen's eyelids drooped slightly, looking at the ripples on the surface of the pool, she was a little dazed.

Recalling the conversation just now, why did she feel that Fan Ran and Jiajia seemed to be in collusion...

But the reason behind this, she has not yet figured out.

Just as Nan Zhen was picking up the bait for the second time, she vaguely noticed someone talking behind the rockery, so she stopped her movements and approached gently.

The speakers were two young servants from Fan's family. They had just finished their work and had a little leisure time, so they sat crookedly by the flower bed with their backs hunched, chatting casually.

"Hey, do you think the Taoist priests invited this time are useful? I see that they haven't moved since they entered the mansion yesterday. Don't be liars again!"

The other curled his lips, "Who knows! But I heard that the Taoist said before entering the mansion that he had to wait for two days. The master was afraid that he would not be able to find him by then, so he hurriedly invited him to live in the mansion first." .Even if you can’t exorcise ghosts for the time being, you can deter them a little bit.”

"I hope they can really help. If this ghost is not eliminated, there will be no peace in the mansion."

After counting, the whole family has not had a good sleep for some days, and they, who are servants, naturally suffer accordingly.

The two looked at each other, both reading helplessness from each other's eyes.

"If you ask me, Miss is really pitiful. Originally, the wedding date is approaching, and she will be able to marry into the Kong family as a young mistress soon. Now that she looks like this, this marriage is probably..."

He suppressed his throat and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Even if he didn't say it completely, the other party understood what he meant, and said in a low voice, "The young master of the Kong family came to visit the young lady the day before yesterday. Afterwards, I heard from the maid on duty in the front yard that the Kong family seemed to be very taboo about this. Although they didn't say it explicitly, but Judging from what Young Master Kong means, he probably wants to cancel this engagement."

"Although it is human nature, it is somewhat unfair to our young lady. It was the Kong family who tried desperately to get married before, and now they are also the ones who want to be banned. It is really easy to bully the Fan family!"

"We and the Kong family were originally equally divided. Now that this incident has happened, it is understandable for the Kong family to divorce. As the old saying goes, 'Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately'. Who is not afraid of this matter? "

"..."

The two also chattered about something, Nan Zhen casually listened to it, and after they left, she also walked back to the bamboo forest courtyard.

But after leaving for a whole morning, a lot of bamboo leaves floated down from the courtyard. Chu Li moved a low table, put a stove on it, and simmered tea, quite contented.

Hearing footsteps, he said without raising his head, "Are you back?"

Nan Zhen didn't answer, just went straight to sit down opposite him, took the tea he handed over, "Did you find it?"

Chu Li said calmly, "This maid named Jia Jia joined Fan's family at the age of 12 and has been with Fan Ran for seven years. Fan Ran has treated her very well, and the Fan family and his wife have never scolded her. It can be said that he is loyal to the Fan family, and there has never been any discord."

"So," Chu Li paused, "she has no reason to harm Fan Ran."

Nan Zhen: "In other words, if these organs are all created by Jia Jia, then Fan Ran must know about it?"

Chu Li nodded, "It can be understood in this way."

Nan Zhen squinted her eyes, shook her wrist lightly, and told about what she saw and heard when she went to Ranxiangyuan today.

After Chu Li listened, there was a moment of silence, "Tell me, if Fan Ran and her servant girl are talking about the idea of ​​ghosts and gods harming people, what are they trying to do?"

It can be seen that Fan Yizhao and Cao Yue's worry is not fake. It is really hard for Fan Ran to deceive not only outsiders, but also the closest parents.

Nan Zhen suddenly thought of the marriage between the Kong and Fan families that she had heard near the waterside pavilion, and muttered, "Break the engagement?"

"Huh?" Chu Li didn't understand this level, and asked in confusion, "What divorce?"

"I also heard the servants in the mansion secretly talking behind their backs, saying that Fan Ran and Kong Yuan have a marriage contract, and they had to set a date, but now that this happened, it was naturally delayed."
