A mournful cry came from somewhere, sometimes sour, sometimes sad, echoing in the darkroom . The sounds were very distinct .

This was not an illusion or a dream .

Yu Linglong slowly sat up, and Xuan Cao on the side was already terrified, so terrified that her teeth were chattering: “Miss… here, there’s only two of us!”

Yes, there only were two of them . Then, where was that mournful cry coming from?

In Yu LingLong ’s thought, there suddenly appeared a girl with a frightened expression that Li Fengnian’s family brought here yesterday .

How did she ignore this? And if Li Fengnian’s family poisoned her under deliberate intentions, how could she let that little girl know the truth?

If the little maid didn’t know the food was poisonous, why didn’t she dare to enter this room?

There was only one answer: the problem was this Pinlan garden .

What came to their ears was the faint crying floating in the room, but it was unclear as to where the voice was coming from .

As a girl from the modern age, Yu Linglong certainly did not believe that there were ghosts in this world . From ancient times to present, all ghost stories were just legends for her . If the plot of the ghost story really appeared in reality, then it was someone pretending to be a ghost!

It seemed like Mu​ s.h.i.+ treated her well . Not only was she given poisonous food, but she was also arranged to live in this haunted house . Attacking her from two angles at the same time, she would not give up without killing her .

In this way, beating her during the​ daytime was​ so​ weak!

The crying voice of Xuan Cao rang beside her: “Miss, let’s leave this place first, I am afraid…”

Yu Linglong sneered: “Leave? Where do you want to go?”

Deep in the middle of the night, were they going to live in the gra.s.s outside?

Xuan Cao didn’t dare speak again and sobbed in a low voice .

Yu Linglong frowned slightly: “Why are you crying? Isn’t it messy enough?”

Xuan Cao bit her lips tightly and swallowed the cry .

The weeping outside still came in unwillingly, and it seemed that it would go straight into their ears, mixing with the wind that was getting louder and louder outside .

Yu Linglong lifted the quilt and got out of bed .

Xuan Cao was surprised: “Miss, what are you going to do?”

Just listening to the crying scared people enough – what if they meet the​ real body of the ghost if they go out?

Yu Linglong walked out without fear, and while walking she quietly said: “I want to see who dares to come into my yard!”

“Miss!” Xuan Cao was so surprised that she forgot most of her fears, and quickly got up and followed Yu Linglong .

With a clatter, Yu Linglong had opened the door, and the cold wind outside suddenly fluttered into the room, blowing her moon-white inner garment .

Xuan Cao s.h.i.+vered and s.h.i.+vered, suddenly cold and frightened, and couldn’t help but shrug her shoulders .

As soon as the door opened, the bursts of weeping suddenly fell, but the night breeze got bigger and colder, and it made people chilly .

Under the dim moonlight, the courtyard looked dark with the tall trees, elegant bamboo forests, and delicate orchids in the daytime .

At the moment, it swayed greatly due to the wind and cast a strange shadow on the ground . As unpredictable as it may be, it looked so dreadful . In the quiet courtyard, it seemed even more sultry late at night .
