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 .

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 .

Ji Man retreated two steps and frowned . She had never seen someone actually commit suicide in real life .
