Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 270 The Interest of Playing Ghosts

After finishing speaking, Nan Surou took Dong Liu and Xia Shi out of the gloomy old house.

Walking all the way to her own room, under the snow-white moonlight, Nan Surou saw something disharmonious from afar.

Dongliu and Xia Shi didn't see anything unusual, and Xia Shi whispered to Dongliu, "Sister Dongliu, I'm still a little scared, can you stay with me on night watch?"

Dong Liu glanced at Xia Shi with contempt, and couldn't help but glance at Nan Surou.

I saw Nan Surou looking for something in the open space under the cherry tree in front of the window, as if she picked something up from the ground.

Dong Liu hurried over, and Nan Surou was holding something like a silk thread in her hand, which was a piece of tassel that fell off.

Nan Surou looked at this tassel under the bright moonlight. This tassel is different from the ordinary tassels sold in the market. It is made of feathers and is used to tie on clothes. The most important thing is that it is... …

Nan Surou turned her head and asked Xia Shi: "Xia Shi, is the ghost you just saw standing here?"

Xia Shi nodded hurriedly.

Nan Surou frowned and asked, "Are you sure what you saw was a woman? Not a man?"

"Huh? This... the servants were frightened and didn't see clearly. Aren't those dressed like that all women?" Xia Shi responded with some confusion.

The corners of Nan Surou's lips curled up slightly, and she quietly took out a brocade handkerchief and hugged the tassel. This thing was custom-made by her...

Xia Shi didn't know why, so he asked respectfully: "Miss, did you find something?"

Nan Surou gave her a sideways glance with a half-smile, and said, "Why?"

"Miss, the maid will not be mistaken, it must be a ghost." Xia Shi swallowed.

Nan Surou didn't respond to her words, but turned around and walked towards the gate of the courtyard. Dong Liu narrowed her eyes slightly and followed.

A doubt spread in Dong Liu's heart. Although the young lady didn't say anything just now, she saw the tassel on the young lady's hand, which... clearly fell off from the special accessories for the young masters of the Hu family.

The person in charge of guarding the door tonight is Shen Nai. She is not very old. She entered the mansion a few years ago to be the nanny of the Seventeenth Young Master. When she entered the mansion, Shen Nai was the youngest nanny. In [-], although she was called a nanny, she was a half-aged woman who still had the charm of a young lady.

At this moment, Nanny Shen is lighting a few candles in her night-duty room, and she is making female red in her hand. Her eyes are as bright as a pair of crystals. When she sees Nan Surou approaching, she quickly gets up and salutes: "Miss Surou , it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" She said, and handed the needle and thread in her hand to the maidservant Yan'er beside her.

Nan Surou said casually: "Nurse Shen is really energetic, to be a female celebrity in such a dark place, watch your eyes carefully."

There was concern in these words, and Mother Shen blushed, and said: "Thank you for your concern, miss. It's okay. There's nothing to do around the night watch here. If you don't do something, you will always feel sleepy."

"Does Mammy know that someone entered the yard just now?" Nan Surou still spoke casually.

Hearing this, Nanny Shen was obviously taken aback, and said in astonishment: "This... how is this possible? The slaves have been guarding here, and no one is seen."

Xia Shi was frightened by the "ghost" at first, but now when he heard Nan Surou's question and saw Shen's behavior, he was a little out of breath, and sneered: "Shen, you are not old-eyed, you Just sit outside the door, if someone enters the yard, can you not see it?"

As soon as Xia Shi said this, Mother Shen became anxious. She hurriedly argued: "Miss, the servants have been guarding here. If there is any movement, they will definitely see it. I have never seen anyone go in. This is the courtyard of the young lady. , if someone enters, the servant will definitely send Yan'er in to inform, if the young lady doesn't believe it, just ask Yan'er."

After saying that, everyone turned their attention to Yan'er who was at the side. When Nanny Shen was working as a female celebrity just now, this Yan'er had been silently serving her side, serving tea and water, and she didn't seem to be unusual.

Upon hearing Shen Nanny's words, Yan'er immediately looked at Nan Surou, nodded violently, and supported Shen Nanny. "Miss Su Rou, this servant just lifted the stove to boil water at the door, if someone enters the yard, this servant will know."

Both of them were guarding the door, how could they let a stranger in?

No, on the other hand, even if they really accidentally let a stranger into the yard, they have to deny it.

Just kidding, such negligence will be punished!

Xia Shi was so choked by the expressions of these two servants that he was speechless for a while.

Nan Surou's face was as calm as water, and she said: "Since Mother Shen said so, then Xia Shi must have been confused and dreaming just now, let's go back."

Nan Surou led Dongliu and Xia Shi back to the house. After entering the house, the door was closed. Xia Shi held Dongliu tremblingly and begged: "Sister Dongliu, you can sleep with me today, I'm afraid ..."

"You are so timid. I will sleep with you, and who will serve the young lady? Everyone else has already slept. If there is any disturbance, it will be bad." Dong Liu said sternly.

Nan Surou looked at Xia Shi, "Are you really so scared?"

"Miss, this servant is really scared." Xia Shi nodded abruptly.

"Dong Liu, you can accompany her, I don't care." Nan Surou chuckled, "I'm going to sleep by myself."

Dong Liu groaned for a while, and finally agreed. However, she was full of questions and couldn't get answers, so she was destined to have a sleepless night.

Nan Surou entered the room alone, and saw Qu Lanyi heartlessly nibbling on the dishes that had been left on the table for a long time.

While gnawing on the roasted pigeon, Qu Lanyi said without raising her eyes, "You're back?"

"Well, the other party's skills are not high, just trying to scare me." Nan Surou casually walked to the soft couch, and lay down on a recline.

"How? Are you going to scare me back?" Qu Lanyi was still gnawing on the pigeon, and said, "It seems that a small amount of Datura pollen has been added to these dishes. I'm afraid many people will see a ghost tonight..."

"What? You dare to eat it even though you know it's in it." Nan Surou laughed angrily.

"I have a good tolerance." Qu Lanyi squinted at Nan Surou, and said, "Since I played with that Daoist Song, I have been free for a lot of days. I don't think you have anything to do with the people in the Hu family. So good, can you let me play."

try it out?
Nan Surou frowned, this Qu Lanyi is very similar to Yun Ai in a certain sense, but this Qu Lanyi seems to be the kind of person who is so idle that she takes pleasure in torturing others.

"What? You're actually interested in that 'ghost'?" Nan Surou couldn't help asking.

"That's right. When it comes to pretending to be gods and ghosts, I'm an expert." Qu Lanyi chuckled and said, "I'm very interested in the 'ghosts' hidden in people's hearts."

These words just fell to the ground, Nan Surou only felt a soft wind blowing on her face.

And Qu Lanyi's next voice unexpectedly reached her ears.

At some point, Qu Lanyi had moved from the dining table to behind Nan Surou, and whispered in her ear: "Just like I am very interested in the 'ghost' in your heart, Yu Ru... ...You said that if there is an afterlife, we will not be masters and servants, but husband and wife..."
