Chapter 1 Ghost in the West Courtyard
In the dark night, dark clouds and moon closed, every house in the quiet capital closed their doors, and the voice of the watchman beating the watch came from the street, "The sky is dry and the things are dry, so be careful with the candles."

In the west courtyard of Marquis Anding's Mansion, a little girl ran out to the hut with a lantern. In the dark night, only the dim yellow light in her hand remained, which could only illuminate the distance within five steps.

It was already April at this time, the night was as cold as water, and the air was very cold. She hugged her arms involuntarily, her eyes wandered around, and when she came back, she felt like a figure flashed in front of her eyes...

The little girl was trembling with long hair and ran back quickly, repeating tremblingly: "Namo Amitabha..."

Passing by the courtyard wall of the west courtyard, the courtyard wall is covered with moss. Since she came to the Hou Mansion, this courtyard has been vacant, especially at night, it looks extraordinarily eerie.

She held the lantern and looked in with her head. There were ghostly lights floating in the yard.

It seems to feel the sound of gurgling water coming from my ears, such a sound is particularly terrifying under the dark night.

She was holding a lantern and bravely aiming at the wall, suddenly her pupils dilated infinitely, her whole body was trembling, her heart was beating like it was about to jump out of her chest!
The viscous liquid trickled down from the wall bit by bit, and the air smelled bloody... Immediately, a lot of bloodstains flowed out, intertwined into a net, which was extraordinarily weird and frightening on such a night...

Right in the middle of this blood net, the wall slowly squirmed, as if something was about to burst out of it, first revealing a pair of red eyeballs, the blood red eyeballs turned left and right, and finally fixed on the little girl On his body, the eyeballs exuded excitement, which is the light that can only be seen when seeing prey...

"Ah!!" A woman's sharp cry came from the night sky, the voice was desolate and filled with despair...

The courtyard of the Hou Mansion, which had already turned off the lights and went to bed, was suddenly brightly lit.

In Jiyue Pavilion, Nanny Gui, who was on guard at night, walked quickly with a lantern and knocked on the door of Mrs. Hou's house. The whole room was filled with sandalwood. A 30-year-old with a good face was wearing a blue cloud brocade inner coat. His wife, but her eyes revealed shrewdness and calculations, she was slender but graceful, she sometimes coughed twice while covering her handkerchief, and she was reciting Buddhist scriptures by the lamp.

"Ma'am." Nanny Gui, who came in outside, was 45 years old, with gray hair, wearing a dark green satin mattress, with a medium to fat body, and her face was covered with wrinkles from the years.

The wife she called was An Dinghou's second wife - Li Qiumei. The original wife, Cui Shi, passed away five years ago.

"Is that voice coming from the west courtyard?" Li Qiumei's eyes were calm, as if she knew it long ago.

Nanny Gui nodded, "Ma'am, do you want to invite a Taoist priest over to do ritual rituals tomorrow?"

"No need," Li Qiumei shook her head and said, "After all, this is a house bestowed by the emperor, if you rashly invite Taoist priests, it will be bad for Lord Hou."

The Feng Shui of this Hou Mansion is so good, but the west courtyard is always haunted by ghosts, and has been vacant and uninhabited. Only the servants who go there at night will have accidents, which also makes people panic.

But this is a mansion bestowed by the emperor himself, so I'm sorry for Long En Haodang if he doesn't stay here.

The state of Chu was founded in Yuan Dynasty, the King of Chu conferred a title on the mansion, and Li Zhiyang was conferred the title of "Marquis of Tranquility". The word "An Ding Fu" is also an inscription written by the emperor himself.It is rumored that the west courtyard is haunted by ghosts and has been uninhabited.

"I heard that Miss Shou Xiao has returned and will be there the day after tomorrow. Ma'am, where shall we arrange for Miss to live?" Nanny Gui asked.

Li Qiumei smiled gently and virtuously, but there was a trace of hostility in her eyes: "Isn't there a vacant West Courtyard in the mansion, let such a little bitch live there, and help us suppress ghosts in our mansion by the way."

Speaking of Miss Li Ruoxian, she is indeed a fateful person. Her mother is buried in the ground, but she is still alive and well. Three years ago, she went to Jing'an Temple to guard the spirit of her late mother, Cui Shi. Back, Li Xianxian, who is now 15 years old, is not sure how beautiful she is, that kind of beauty must surpass her Yu'er and Yan'er.

Seeing that the marriage between Li Meiyu and the second emperor's uncle Rong Yujun was about to be settled, how could she, as a mother, let Li Ruoxian spoil her daughter's marriage at this time.

It just so happens that the West Courtyard is haunted by ghosts. Let that bitch go to Xiyuan Town to suppress ghosts.

Thinking of her calculations, Li Qiumei showed a calculating smile, seeing Nanny Gui from the cold eyes to the soles of her feet, and she was chanting Amitabha Buddha in her heart for the hard-working young lady of her family.

In the eyes of Nanny Gui, the eldest lady is a very kind person, she never criticizes her servants, and she is the closest to Master Zhixuan in the mansion, she and Zhixuan are twins, Zhixuan was born one slender late Time, became a younger brother.

In fact, Master Zhixuan is more like an adult, he is the only son of the Hou family, and will inherit the master's family business in the future, there is no one in the family who is not afraid of Master Zhixuan, except for the eldest lady.

"Mommy, it's getting late, you can go down too. Tomorrow, you pick a few quick-witted ones and go to the west courtyard to clean them. No matter what, you can't let the eldest lady do it by herself." Li Qiumei said it like a good mother.

"Yes." Nanny Gui nodded, and was about to leave the room when Li Qiumei's voice sounded at the right time.

"Nurse Gui, I know you watched the young lady grow up. In fact, as a mother, I have no preference for anyone. The west courtyard is just rumored to be terrible. I went to see it. There is nothing wrong with it. It's just that some people are brave. The little servants are just spreading rumors."

Nanny Gui lowered her head, "The madam treats the eldest lady as her own, it's obvious to all."

"Okay, go down, I'm tired too." Li Qiumei still yawned as she spoke.

Nanny Gui exited the Jiyue Pavilion in response, and closed the door behind her.

This month, Young Master Zhixuan went to Hangzhou to attend a gathering of poets, and I'm afraid it will take five or six days for him to come back. The master is busy with court affairs every day, and doesn't care about the affairs of the house. All the power is in the hands of Li Qiumei, the wife of Lord Hou. hands.

Nanny Gui was walking, thinking in her mind that she would have to see the master tomorrow, if the master didn't care about this matter, it would be really bad luck for the young lady.
