Chapter 22 Is she an evil ghost?

Xue Mei lay quietly on the kang next to the window, hanging her hair, and watching the flowers in her mind, replaying the pieces of today.

She first recalled the indifference of her mother Pan to her; then she remembered that Xue Yutan was plotted against her and tried hard to create a chance for her. I wonder if she would regret it tomorrow and want to strangle her to death?

She remembered the third lady's flashing eyes again.

Xue Mei also remembered her disabled elder brother.

When she just came here, she wanted to quickly understand the environment she was in, so she went to see her elder brother once.

The eldest brother lives in a yard southwest of the Hou Mansion.

The yard is relatively dilapidated, with a bit mottled exterior wall, not as luxurious as other places. Just so happened that day, Xiao Mingyu, the prince of Ancheng, came to visit her elder brother.

Prince Ancheng is the same age as her elder brother. He was a classmate who studied together in the Imperial College. The two have a good relationship.

However, can you maintain an eight-year friendship with Prince Ancheng, who controls several major shops in Kyoto, just by relying on that little friendship? Prince Ancheng is very busy.

And there is a servant next to my eldest brother, who is very skilled in martial arts.

That day Xue Mei eavesdropped on her elder brother and Prince Ancheng's conversation. She was very far away. No matter how good her ears were, she couldn't hear them. She cheated on her personal terminal.

However, she had just eavesdropped on a few words and was discovered by her elder brother's servant.

Is such a sensitive servant from Yongning Marquis’ Mansion?

"The people who jump up and down in the Marquis' Mansion are not worth paying attention; those who hide in the darkness should pay attention to it." Xue Mei seemed to be talking to herself, and also to her cat.

The cat seemed to be asleep.

Xue Mei buried her face on its belly, and it didn't move, letting her lean on it.

They were paralyzed like salted fish for the afternoon, and Xue Mei and Mao were resting well. They were both lazy and continued to sleep after dinner without delaying their heads.

However, many people didn't sleep well that night.

The first one who didn't sleep well was not Xue Run, who was injured in her foot, but Xue Mei's biological mother, Pan.

Pan took her mute maid to the yard of her eldest son Xue Chi in the middle of the night, avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, and the mother and son had a long talk all night.

The second one who couldn't sleep was the second lady Xue Yutan.

Ever since Xue Mei gave the fifth young master anesthetics and it made him feel less painful, the second young lady felt that things were not good. She might have set up a stage for Xue Mei and asked Xue Mei to sing a good show.

"You said, does she really know medical skills?" Xue Yutan sat at the table and refused to go to bed.

Her maid, the chrysanthemum hairpin, was careful: "How is this possible?"

"What did she use for her fifth brother at that time? Why didn't the fifth brother feel pain? She really knows witchcraft?" Xue Yutan asked again.

Ju Zhazhang didn't know, and she was silent and didn't dare to answer the conversation.

Xue Yutan pushed Xue Mei forward, hoping that she would commit suicide rather than give her the opportunity to show off.

"Since she woke up from the hang, everything has not been as good as I wish." Xue Yutan had a gloomy face, "Is she dead? Is it an evil ghost who occupies her body now?"

The chrysanthemum hairpin shivered hard.

It was so scary that the second lady said this at such a late night. Her chrysanthemum hairpin had a little twitching.

"Miss II, how can a ghost get into a human body?" Ju Zodiac comforted the second lady as much as possible.

Xue Yutan smiled coldly.

She was beautiful, her eyes were bigger and darker than others. At this moment, sitting under the dim candlelight, her eyes were full of ghost spirits.

The maid felt that compared to the eldest lady, the second lady at this moment seemed to be a ghost.

"I'll see what she is when I find some time." Xue Yutan said coldly.

The maid doesn't respond.

Xue Yutan couldn't sleep, and her mind was not on her fifth brother, but was all about intrigue with Xue Mei.

At the same time, Yongning Hou and Aunt Zhou were also unable to sleep.

The two of them lie down while changing clothes, but they are not sleepy at all.

"Mr. Marquis, I want to go and see Run'er. If he has a high fever tonight, I want to be with him." Aunt Zhou's eyes were still red.

Yongning Hou: "Didn't you give me instructions to the maid? Once Run'er has a high fever, she will report it."

"But... Run'er's wound was so deep that she was washed with water by the lady, and she cut a lot of flesh. The injury would only be more serious. I don't know what witch trick the lady used. Run'er didn't feel pain at that time, but she was afraid that it would be even more abnormal in the future." Aunt Zhou said.

After she said this, Yongning Hou could not lie down any longer.

He sat up.

Aunt Zhou hurriedly sat up: "Mr. Marquis?"

"Go and see Run'er." said Yongning Hou.

It's already late at night.

Xue Mei treated Xue Run's wound in the morning. Xue Run didn't feel any pain at that time, and kept crying for pain in the middle of the afternoon, which was very difficult to get.

Such a deep injury, I must have a high fever tonight, I wonder if he can get over it.

It's the second half of the night now, so it's time to get burned.

Yongning Hou and Aunt Zhou arrived at Xue Run's yard in the middle of the night, but found that the yard was quiet.

Two maids on duty were sitting with them on the big kang in Xue Run's house. Both of them were a little sleepy and napping in a daze.

The Marquis and Aunt Zhou came in overnight and they were shocked.

"You are actually asleep. No one cares about you. How dare you be so arrogant!" Aunt Zhou was very angry, her voice pressing into her throat.

The maids quickly knelt down and admitted their mistakes.

Yongning Hou was very irritable and asked them to get up. Then, while walking towards Xue Run's bed, he asked the two of them in a low voice: "How is the fifth young master burning?"

The clever maid got up and hurriedly followed: "Mr. Marquis, the fifth young master has no fever, he is sleeping well."

Yongning Hou paused.

He turned around in surprise and glanced at the maid.

The maid hurriedly repeated his words and told Yongning Hou very surely: "The young master did not have a fever, so the maids dared to relax for a while..."

Aunt Zhou didn’t believe it, and Yongning Hou didn’t believe it very much.

In front of Yongning Hou, Aunt Zhou lifted Xue Run's curtain and reached out to touch her son's forehead.

Xue Run's forehead was a little cooler than Aunt Zhou's palm, and there was no sign of fever at all.

Aunt Zhou was extremely surprised.

The Marquis of Yongning also stepped forward, and touched his son's forehead in the same manner as his concubine.

He tried it, changed his other hand, and even touched his forehead to compare.

No fever.

The son's wound was so severe that he was tortured by Xue Mei so randomly. He cut his flesh, cleaned and repaired it, but he did not have a high fever.

Incredible.

"This..." Aunt Zhou could only think of one possibility in her mind, that is, the young lady really knows medical skills, and her medical skills are particularly good.

The Marquis of Yongning was silent and stopped talking.

The two of them sat for another hour.

During this hour, Xue Run still slept very heavily and still had no fever.

The maid persuaded: "It's late at night, the marquis, the aunt takes care of her health, so it's better to go back and rest first. The maid dares not sleep anymore. She will do her best to take care of the fifth young master."

Yongning Hou was full of doubts. But he was so old that he couldn't hold on. He stood up and reminded the maid a few times, and then walked away.
