Chapter 159

"Mrs. Lu said that not long after they got home, she felt uncomfortable. She was always sleepy and tired, but she couldn't find out the reason. She accidentally heard the servants talking." What the lady said was repeated to Song Shiyun and Song Siwen.

Mrs. Lu was in a daze when she heard several servants whispering at the door.

Talking about Mrs. Lu’s illness.

One of them said: "The fifth lady fell ill just after she came back. Could it be related to what happened before?"

"Yes, before the first few committed suicide, they were always asleep for a while."

"But doesn't the Fifth Madam have nothing to do with that incident? She wasn't even at the house when the incident happened."

"Then who knows, it's too weird to say this."

Mrs. Lu broke into a cold sweat when she heard this, and woke up suddenly. She pushed herself up and called those people in.

Only then did she learn that several elders had committed suicide before.

But for the sake of the Lu family's reputation, the Lu family told the outside world that those elders died of illness or accidents.

Never mentioned suicide.

Mrs. Lu was puzzled at the time. When they were out of town, they had also heard about the death of elders in the family.

But first, after all, those elders are old.

Death is normal.

Secondly, the stories passed down to them by the Lu family were also very normal. They all died of illness or died of old age.

They never thought twice about it.

But hearing the discussions among the servants made Mrs. Lu feel that this matter was not that simple.

She asked a few questions, but the servants were hesitant and said that the elders seemed to be suffering from evil spirits. They would be dazed for a period of time, then go crazy, and finally commit suicide.

The strange thing is that when committing suicide, they will change into red clothes.

Quite scary.

Mrs. Lu then asked them, which incident the servants just said was 'related to that incident'?
However, after Mrs. Lu asked this question, the servants refused to speak.

They all seemed to have been silenced. No matter how Mrs. Lu asked, they never mentioned anything and begged Mrs. Lu to let them go.

Only then did Mrs. Lu realize that the matter seemed quite serious.

She was also quite worried.

But fortunately, after being sick for two days, he recovered and did not appear to be crazy.

After she got a little better, Mrs. Lu asked people around her to inquire inside Lu's house.

However, every time they had a good conversation, as soon as they talked about those who committed suicide, the servants stopped talking.

Mrs. Lu really couldn't find out anything, so she went to find Duke Dingguo.

Duke Dingguo had heard of this incident, but the version he heard was the same as Mrs. Lu's - those elders died normally.

Therefore, Mrs. Lu did not get any useful information from Duke Ding.

Mrs. Lu was worried.

The eldest princess then suggested that instead of worrying, she might as well invite a master or someone from the Tiansi Bureau to visit the Lu family.

Mrs. Lu thought it made sense, and after returning home, she told her family.

However, it was opposed by the Lu family.

"Such a big thing has happened in the Lu family. You don't want to solve it, but you still oppose Mrs. Lu's idea?" Song Shiyun frowned and didn't understand.

Xie Rugu poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip, "Yes," Mrs. Lu said. At the dining table, as soon as she opened her mouth, the head of the Lu family and Mrs. Lu were all on the same page and opposed her, and they did not allow her to mix the mess of people and the mess. Take the matter to the Lu family."

He even warned Mrs. Lu that if she felt that the home was unclean and was unwilling to stay at home, she would just move out.

This is a threat.

Mrs. Lu couldn't say anything. As a married daughter, it was impossible for her to make the decision to move out.

Mrs. Lu had no choice but to seek help from Ding Guogong again.

Xie Rugu happened to be present and mentioned Song Shiyun.

Song Shiyun was the second young lady of Pingninghou Mansion. She had a distinguished status and not many people knew that she was a member of Xuanmen. It was perfect for her to go to the Lu family to explore the situation in the name of a guest.

In addition, both Xie Rugu and Duke Dingguo trusted Song Shiyun's abilities.

After mentioning it to Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu asked Xie Rugu to first explore Song Shiyun's tone.

Song Shiyun originally didn't want to help Xie Ruji. She felt that Xie Rugu would be fine and needed her help.

She even wondered if Xie Rugu was deliberately teasing her when he said he wanted to talk to her about something private today.

Now it seems that this matter with the Lu family is indeed unusual.

The Lu family's attitude is so strange.

And four people died in succession... If it was really haunted, the ghost would kill seven people and become a ghost.

If there is really a powerful ghost in the Lu family, if he kills three more people, he may become a ghost.

Once it becomes a ghost, it becomes more difficult to deal with.

When the time comes, everyone in the Lu family will not be able to protect themselves, and they are afraid that the whole capital will suffer.

Thinking of this, Song Shiyun still agreed, "The prince has said so, so Shiyun naturally wants to go and have a look, but I don't know when it will be convenient?"

Xie Ru said as usual: "It's probably too late today. The second sister agreed. I will ask my mother to send a letter to the Lu family later. I will ask the second sister to come over tomorrow."

Song Shiyun nodded after hearing this.

Also.

The Imperial College had just resumed classes today, so it was impossible for her to take leave and go to the Lu family now.

Mrs. Lu doesn't know yet, so it's not appropriate to run over.

Moreover, she has other plans tonight.

Thinking of this, Song Shiyun agreed to Xie Rugu's arrangement.

Xie Rugu gave Song Shiyun some more tea, "After talking for so long, my second sister should also drink some tea to calm down."

Song Shiyun sat here and didn't talk much, but after sitting for so long, he was indeed thirsty.

She thanked him and didn't refuse, so she picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.

Song Siwen glanced at the two of them and felt inexplicably that Xie Rugu and Song Shiyun got along well.

There was no sign of any discord, nor did he look like someone he had just met.

It's like they've known each other for a long time, or like an old couple.

Hey, no!

Song Siwen realized that his thoughts had gone astray, and quickly shook his head to get rid of the unwanted thoughts.

Several people sat in the private room for a while, thinking that the master was coming soon, and then everyone returned to the school.

When Song Shiyun, Xie Rugu and others entered the school one after another, they saw many people from the Tiansi Bureau around.

It seems that the Tiansi Bureau is quite concerned about the Imperial College.

Song Shiyun was thinking about it when a person suddenly ran in from outside.

He whispered something to Zhenren Zhou who came to monitor as a representative.

Song Shiyun caught a glimpse of Master Zhou's expression and suddenly changed.

Then, he quickly looked around, and his eyes fell on the Imperial Academy Jijiu on the other side.

"Hurry up and get them ready to pick you up. Lord Jijiu, your Majesty is here!"

what?
Song Shiyun's body stiffened suddenly, and his feet seemed to take root on the ground.

In an instant, she felt chills all over her body, and her whole body was completely cold.

At this time, a hand stretched out from the side and held Song Shiyun's cold hand.

The palm was warm and broad.

Song Shiyun turned his head stiffly and met Xie Rugu's eyebrows.

Xie Ru was smiling as always, "What's wrong with the second sister? If you don't go in quickly, the doctor is here and he will be angry."

Song Shiyun's face was pale, he looked at Xie Rugu in a daze, and opened his mouth.

She felt that she should say something, but she couldn't.

Xie Rugu held her hand and said, "Go in."

After speaking, he led Song Shiyun into the school.

Song Shiyun's mind was in a state of confusion. She didn't even know why she walked in behind Xie Rugu.

All she knew was that soon after entering, there was a burst of noise outside.

It seems like someone big is coming!

That big shot is her father!

Song Shiyun suddenly woke up with a start, and almost subconsciously wanted to get up. She wanted to rush over and ask His Majesty, if the poison of a tiger does not eat its seeds, why did he kill her?

"Shi Yun, what's wrong with you?" Song Siwen, who was sitting in front, also noticed that Song Shiyun's reaction was not right, and asked with concern: "Your face suddenly became so ugly, are you uncomfortable somewhere?"

Xie Rugu also looked at Song Shiyun, stretched out his hand to pull her to sit down, "Lecture is about to start, don't move around."

Song Shiyun's forehead was beating sharply, and he heard his heart beating wildly in his chest.
