Chapter: 147 out of 513 – The truth behind the haunting (2)

Wen Wan woke up during lunchtime. Ji Man personally cooked lunch for her. It wasn’t because she wanted to treat her well. She just wanted to avoid Wen Wan getting food poisoning during her stay here.

Later in the afternoon, Ji Man went over to old madame’s courtyard.

After Ji Man had been chatting with old madame for a while, Ji Man mentioned Qian Lianxue and old madame responded, “Lianxue is quite pitiful. She’s Qian Yingchen’s older sister. She’s had to constantly drink herbal medicine since she was born. Xuan-er felt pity for her, and since she also likes Xuan-er, she entered this household as an honored concubine.”

Based on Ji Man’s impression of Marquis Moyu, he definitely wasn’t the type of person that would feel unchecked sympathy. Instead of saying he felt pity for Qian Lianxue, it would be better to say Qian Yingchen was very valuable to Marquis Moyu.

In order for Marquis Moyu to continue showing care and concern towards Honored Concubine Xue, Qian Yingchen had to continue being important to Marquis Moyu.

Fine, she would admit that she was already biased against Marquis Moyu. Anyways, this person always gave her the impression that he did everything with purpose.

Qian Lianxue’s background could be considered simple and clean. She also had a good-natured personalty. She probably wouldn’t do anything outrageously evil. Ji Man thought that perhaps, she was being too suspicious of everyone and overthinking things.

Ning Yuxuan had already said that he would send over people, but Ji Man didn’t see a single shadow that evening. Holding onto the belief that the male lead was all-powerful, Ji Man still persuaded Wen Wan into sleeping early.

Nie Sangyu's servant girls slept on the floor of her room again and the lamps were also left lit.

When midnight arrived, Ji Man even silently counted out, “three, two, one”. As expected, the sound of a baby crying started on the roof.

However, this time, the sound of crying was accompanied with the sound of fighting. Many roof tiles were broken from the fighting before the sound of the crying fell from the roof and into the courtyard.

The courtyard was suddenly brightly illuminated. Ji Man hurriedly put on an outer robe and went outside to look.

A group of servants were holding up lanterns. At the center of the group, there was man holding a baby. Because the living baby was feeling unwell, it let out a plaintive cry.

As expected, the baby ghost hadn’t been real.

Ning Yuxuan was standing by the side.“Mingjie take off that person’s mask.”

Ning Mingjie was currently restraining the black-robed figure by his hands. Hearing these words, he took off the mask –

Alright, even after the mask was taken off and an honest-looking face was revealed, Ji Man still didn’t recognize the person.

The black-robed figure pursed his lips and glanced at Marquis Moyu, then his head tilted to the side and black blood dripped out of his lips. He was dead.
