Chapter 5 The Ghost Under the Tree

In the General's Mansion, the night was deep, and Gu Lingyan, who was lying on the bed, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Ten days later is the day when she and the fourth prince Zhu Limo get married, and she cannot resist the order, otherwise, the entire General's Mansion will be killed.

How to do?
How can I prevent myself from marrying that fourth prince without causing trouble to the General's Mansion?

Gu Lingyan turned over and got out of bed, and put a thin plain white cloak on her body.

It was early summer, and the air in the house was stuffy. She opened the door and walked outside. A few dim lanterns illuminated the quiet courtyard, making this elegant courtyard a little more warm.

She walked slowly towards the corridor on the left, thinking how to avoid marrying Zhu Limo.

Before she knew it, she walked to another courtyard, and she remembered that this was the courtyard where Yang Qing lived.

"You wicked woman, Miss Ben is in a bad mood today, and I will always settle accounts with you when I solve my problems." Gu Lingyan looked at one of the rooms with a faint light, and said to herself. Talking to himself with contempt.

She wanted to avenge the original owner, and she wanted to do this as soon as she said it.

Just as she was turning around to go back, suddenly, a burst of tense and small footsteps reached her ears, and the shadows of the trees whirled, which made her feel chilly.

She snuggled under a tree, trying to find out, but saw a tall, thin, black figure running towards her quickly——

She immediately dodges, getting out of the way of the shadow.

"Ah! Ghost!"

Suddenly, in the silent night, the black figure let out a piercing howl.

Seeing him looking at her, Gu Lingyan was so frightened that he scrambled and ran away after a while.

hehe!She understood that this black figure saw her in a white shirt with disheveled hair, and thought it was a ghost that had bumped into the tree.

Interesting, but who is this man!The thief is still—

Gu Lingyan looked into the yard, and found that Yang Qing opened the door in disheveled clothes and looked out.

That look, hmm!Kind of abnormal.

After a while, Gu Lingyan saw a few people running over with lanterns, she looked up the tree, jumped lightly, and hid on the branch with lush branches.

"What's the matter? I just heard someone shouting."

"Yes! It seems to be calling for ghosts—" a maid said timidly.

Seeing Yang Qing from the tree, Gu Lingyan flashed into the room and closed the door. After a while, she opened the door and came out wearing a purple cloak.

"Aunt Qing, are you okay! I heard someone shouting just now."

"I'm fine, maybe some cat or dog is barking! You guys go back! I'm going to rest."

"Okay, Aunt Qing."

Several male slaves and maidservants in the courtyard turned and retreated with lanterns in hand.

Gu Lingyan was puzzled, this Yang Qing, didn't she let the servant girl serve her at night?
Yang Qing entered the house and quickly turned off the lights.

Gu Lingyan waited until everyone disappeared, she yawned heavily, and then jumped down from the tree.

I'm so sleepy, let's go back to sleep first!
The general's mansion is very big, and she lost her way when she was walking.

Fortunately, if you walk in the direction of going back, you can always walk to your own yard.

Just as she walked into a dark corner, she suddenly heard another strange noise.

She held her breath and listened carefully, a weak and ambiguous sound came from the grass in the corner.

Ha ha!Going out this late at night is really rewarding!

Gu Lingyan didn't bother them, and quietly left here.

She thought that there were many male slaves and maidservants in this mansion, such things must be common in the general's mansion.

Returning to the room in a tortuous way, she put aside all her thoughts and fell asleep as soon as she fell out of bed.

In the early morning of the next day, she was awakened by a sharp noise, and opened her eyes in a daze, only to find a small face staring at her.

"Who are you?" Gu Ling sat up in smoke, and hit that small face with his palm.

"what!"

When Gu Lingyan heard a scream, her brain instantly woke up, and when she looked at the bedside, it turned out to be a girl.

"Who are you? Why did you come out so early in the morning to scare people?" Gu Lingyan looked at the girl who was crying with her face in her hands, and asked sharply.

When she opened it and saw a face in front of her, it made her very nervous.

The girl held the hand holding her face, looked at Gu Lingyan with tears in her eyes, and cried, "Second Miss, I am Qiuliu! I am in charge of serving you."

Gu Lingyan rubbed the back of her head and remembered, didn't that wicked Aunt Qing send her a maid?

Gu Lingyan saw that Qiuliu's originally pretty face was now bruised and purple, and she said to Qiuliu: "My lady is not used to being served, so don't come to the bedside before I open my eyes in the morning. .”

Qiu Liu got up from the ground, then lowered her head and said respectfully, "Yes, Second Miss."

Gu Lingyan yawned heavily, stretched his waist, frowned and looked outside the door and asked Qiu Liu, "What's the noise outside?"

"Second Miss, it's Miss Lian Shuang and the others—" Qiu Liu didn't finish her words, because a very deliberate voice from outside had already come in.

"That damned girl, she didn't get up at three poles before sunrise. What kind of trouble is this going to make us unable to eat breakfast, Miss Ben starved to death."

"That's right! Grandpa insists that we wait until she wakes up to eat, what kind of a thing is that? Don't let anyone wake her up."

Gu Lingyan pricked up his ears, and he heard clearly.

It turned out to be urging her to get up!She slept so late last night, so it was natural for her to sleep in late this morning. If she didn't sleep well, she would lose all energy for the day.

"Qiu Liu, what time is it?" Gu Lingyan asked in a lazy voice, she lay down on the pillow, wondering if she should go back to sleep again.

"Second Miss, it's Yuzhong now."

In the corner!Gu Lingyan looked at the light outside the wooden lattice window, she thought it should be past ten o'clock in the morning of modern time!
It's really time to get up, but it's just that!As she listened to the noise, a playful smile bloomed on her delicate face.

She closed her big eyes again, her thick eyelashes covered her eyelids, she stretched out her hand to pat her yawning pink lips, and fell asleep again.

"Second Miss—" Qiuliu called softly, and then touched her growling belly.

She has to wait until the ladies have finished breakfast before she has anything to eat!

Didn't you say that the second lady is very weak!But she looked at the casual and domineering aura of this second young lady, she didn't look like a weak master!

"Don't get up yet, don't worry about it, grandpa can scold—" "Boom—"

As soon as Gu Lingyan fell asleep, she was awakened by this annoying voice. She slowly opened her eyes, and saw a beautiful and glamorous figure approaching the bed.

There was a sudden light on her body, and the thin quilt that was covering her had been lifted off by Gu Lianshuang.
