Chapter 637 Two Old Men: (▼へ▼メ) What a pleasant surprise
The murder that occurred in Shouyaotang did not cause any waves in the girls' school.
However, the young ladies who had no one to pick them up were sent back to the mansion overnight by the order of Ms. Zheng. As for their future fate, it was estimated that they would not escape death.
The three little ones spent a thrilling night in Shouyaotang, and finally fell into a deep sleep with the help of calming incense.
However, what they did not expect was that in addition to the big news at Shouyaotang last night, a shocking news also broke out next door.
The next morning, when the three little ones arrived, Liu Zhenying, the pioneer of melon-eating, was already talking excitedly. Seeing that the three of them were late, she hurriedly closed the doors and windows.
Then, she took Xiao Yining's hand, her face full of regret: "Sister Princess, you really shouldn't have stayed in Shouyao Hall last night. You missed a good show!"
Three little ones:......
Seeing that they were all confused at the same time, Liu Zhenying started to blast out: "At midnight last night, my uncle Lian's nephew was sent out of Yunfei Academy."
Xiao Yining's heart skipped a beat, his eyes widened, and he asked silently.
Seeing that the little kid didn't seem to react, Liu Zhenying shook her head and gestured with her hands and feet, reminding him, "It's Lu Tingfeng, Master Lu, we still... Did the princess forget?"
The little girl naturally would not forget that this person accidentally "fell" into her rice field before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Yan Ke, who was standing by, could not help but be curious and asked quickly, "Why did Master Lu send Yunfei Academy out at night? Did he do something?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little sisters who knew about this matter beforehand looked at each other with deep emotion.
Cui Zhiyao pursed her lips and explained to them: "Last night, Yunfei Academy was haunted again. The three of you lived in Shouyao Hall, which was far away, so you didn't hear any noise."
Three little ones: @_@, haunted?
Jin Xingman couldn't help rubbing her arms, and added with a look of fear: "I heard that last night, after everyone fell asleep, more than a dozen white ghost fires rose up without any warning and slowly wandered in the air."
Hearing this, Xiao Yining immediately had an idea and asked hurriedly: "What does that have to do with Master Lu? Was it him who did it?"
Unexpectedly, this guess was rejected by the children's sisters who shook their heads.
Chen Jiaoyi smiled gloatingly: "My sister, you guessed wrong. Mr. Lu forgot to close the window when he went to bed last night, and the will-o'-the-wisp ran into his room and contaminated him."
Liu Zhenying also nodded, confirming the matter, and looked relieved: "I don't know whether the will-o'-the-wisp wanted to harm him or save him. The rapist was hiding on the beam in his room. When he was burned by the will-o'-the-wisp and was running for his life, the rapist suddenly rushed out of the room full of will-o'-the-wisp, and everyone saw the man's face clearly."
She patted her chest with lingering fear, looked at the little boy, and continued, "That man is just as the princess's sister said, even more terrifying than Uncle Wang Er. I heard from Mrs. Zhou that his face was covered with blood sores, like a red-faced evil ghost. The noise also alarmed the female guards on patrol from our female school, and they went straight to kill him. But unfortunately, after being seriously injured, he first kidnapped Mr. Wu San, and was later rescued by a dozen men in black."
Shangguan Ruyi concluded the matter: "Now it seems that the man is not a rapist, but I don't know why he entered our girls' school. When the three sisters came this morning, they should have seen more yellow-dressed ladies on the road."
After hearing this bizarre and strange news, the three little ones looked at each other with shock on their faces.
I thought what happened last night was shocking enough, but I didn't expect this incident to be no less shocking.
At this moment, Liu Zhenying still shook her head with regret, full of pity.
"If the princess's sister had stayed in Linglong Courtyard last night, maybe we could have gone to Yangui Tower to watch the fun. It was noisy for a long time last night."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Nishang stammered, "Last night...the young lady who lived in Shouyao Hall was killed by a maid. The female doctor was afraid that we would be startled by the dream, so she lit some calming incense for us to fall asleep."
When the children heard this, they all cocked their heads and looked at the three of them in surprise.
While the kids in Class B were enjoying each other's company, the aftermath of the chaos was still lingering in Hanqiu Courtyard.
Zhao Ya stood on the top floor of Yangui Tower, looking down through the window.
In Hanqiu Courtyard, there were more than a dozen packed bags placed in the yard, and several students walked out of the rooms with bamboo bags on their backs, and said goodbye to Wang and Lin who were standing in the yard.
"Since we moved into Hanqiu Courtyard, there have been constant troubles." The leading senior brother sighed as he looked at Hanqiu Courtyard.
Then, he looked at Wang and Lin and said with a wry smile: "Although this Yunfei Academy is good, we don't want to stay here any longer. We have already agreed last night to rent a secluded house in Yanjing City to prepare for the exam. If Junior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Lin want to exchange knowledge with the senior brothers in the future, they can come and find us."
Wang and Lin looked at each other helplessly and both let out a long sigh.
Wang Cheng tried to persuade them to stay: "The rent of houses in Yanjing City is not cheap. Why don't you stay in the academy? Even if Hanqiu Courtyard is haunted, you can live somewhere else."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several senior brothers became unnatural and they smiled at them awkwardly.
Another senior brother was outspoken and said angrily, "If this could work, we would have moved out long ago. How could we still live here? They are just hypocritical people. I saw it clearly last night. It's clearly someone's intentional act."
These words immediately resonated with others, who echoed them with resentment.
"That's right. I don't know who is jealous of us. The last time it happened was before the Autumn Examination. Now that the En Examination is approaching, they are trying to use the same old trick again. As a result, Senior Brother Lu suffered for us."
"This Junior Brother Leng left without saying a word. He probably thought of this. He usually chats with us happily, but when he knew we were in trouble, he didn't even want to remind us."
"I think he is on guard against us. Moreover, there are more scholars taking the imperial examination this time than in the past, so it is even more difficult to pass. Even if we are classmates, we are still rivals in his eyes."
"No one is stupid!"
"..."
Seeing the conversation gradually turning into a conspiracy theory, Wang and Lin exchanged a knowing look.
Lin Yuzan interrupted the discussion and said sincerely, "My junior brother has a three-story house in Yanjing. If you brothers don't mind, I will write a letter to my wife and ask her to ask the housekeeper to take you there."
Then, he changed the subject and laughed at himself: "To be honest, I was planning to move into this house after I passed the imperial examination, but now it is not suitable. I can only shamelessly follow my daughter to live in the Princess's Mansion. I only hope that my career will go smoothly in the future, and I will be favored by the emperor, so that I can get a bigger house and revive my father's power."
These boastful yet derogatory words made the listeners feel complicated. They felt sour but also a little bit of pity, but more of it was deep gratitude.
The senior brothers who should have left after complaining hurriedly bowed and expressed their gratitude, and also gave a word of kind advice.
"After we leave, Junior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Lin, please stop quarreling. In the future, when you enter the officialdom, you can only go far if you support each other. You must not ruin the harmony and ruin your future because of a momentary temper."
Wang, Lin: ..., there is no need for support!
The two watched everyone leave, and Hanqiu Courtyard became empty again.
At this time, Wu Haoran also rushed back from the medical office. His face was pale and there was a bandage around his neck. It was obvious that he was frightened last night.
When he saw Wang and Lin, he was like seeing a ghost and jumped away immediately.
He said incoherently: "You, you two, don't come over here, don't, don't get close to me, I'm going home soon."
Wang and Lin no longer had the good temper they had before towards him.
Wang Cheng glanced at him and warned him, "I advise Senior Brother Wu not to go back. If something happens and you get hurt, you'll have to wait another three years."
Wu Haoran: …
The man couldn't help but feel that what the man said made a lot of sense.
He thought of a countermeasure quickly, but he remained tough: "So what? I would rather do this than live under the same roof with you two... to avoid being plotted against and killed one day without knowing it."
Hearing this, Lin Yuzan immediately put on a show of respect: "I thought Senior Brother Wu and I were close friends, but he avoided us like the plague. This is really too disheartening for Junior Brother."
Wu Haoran instantly got goosebumps and took another step back: "Don't hit me, you two are on different paths and have nothing to do with me."
His eyes rolled around quickly, and then he said, "You don't have to pretend to keep me. I won't go home, but will go live with Scholar Jiang. If you dare to deal with me, I will complain to Scholar Jiang."
Wang and Lin: ......
The two old men stopped teasing him, stood aside and made a gesture of invitation.
However, Wu Haoran took a few steps, then quickly retreated to the two of them, and asked in a low voice: "Did you two know that the person pretending to be a ghost was Senior Brother Lu on the first day you returned? Otherwise, how did you know where he hid the flint and let him backfire?"
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of teasing, and replied with two words at the same time: "Guess!"
Wu Haoran: ╰(艹皿艹 )
"Hmph, don't be so complacent. Sooner or later, someone will take care of you two." Wu Haoran retorted angrily. Without further delay, he quickly packed up his things and left this dangerous place.
When Hanqiuyuan returned to peace, Wang and Lin's eyes fell on the dean's room. If it was as expected, this person would have no reason to stay here and would definitely move out tonight.
The two men smiled as if they had succeeded in their evil plan.
Wang Cheng said happily: "The secret door can be opened again!"
Lin Yuzan nodded slightly and was in a good mood.
The two, an adult and a child, who were peeking from the top of Yangui Tower, also had smiles on their faces.
"Madam Zhao, looking at this situation, the princess can go to Hanqiu Courtyard to play again!" Qiuyi said happily.
Zhao Ya lowered her eyes to glance at her, shook her head, and sighed softly: "Even if it can be passed, I think the princess will not want to see the master and uncle these few days."
Qiu Yi looked puzzled: "Why?"
Zhao Ya did not answer, but gave her a mysterious smile that meant "wait."
Xiao Yining: (wДw), are my good days going to be over?
