Only then did the Mu Shi come back to her senses, becoming aware of her indiscretion . She rubbed her tight brow and said, “How is the master?”

Mama Cui said: “The master sent Wang Yong over twice, saying that he wanted to greet his wife . I’m guessing it was probably because of concubine Mei . ”

Mu Shi snorted coldly: “Little slut! If I let her do her wish, what qualifications do I have to be Lady Yu!?”

Seeing that it was all these troubles, Mama Cui deliberately stopped the conversation: “The doctor paid a visit today and said that the Sixth Lady’s body has been cleaned of toxins, and if she takes care of herself, she will be good in the future . ”

With the mention of Yu Qianjiao, Mu Shi’s face showed a little smile: “Finally, the weather is good these few days . When I have time, I’ll ask her to come out and relax . Perhaps she will be better soon . ”

Mama Cui talked with Mu Shi for a while . She looked after Mu Shi until she went to sleep, and then quietly left the room .

Walking out the door, she couldn’t help but raise her hand and rub her chest, but her strained heart couldn’t relax anyway .

Every word that Mu Shi said echoed in her ears and the recent disasters in the Yu Mansion were relentless . Could it be true that there was a vengeful ghost at work?

If it really was a vengeful ghost, then…will they find her?

Mama Cui looked at the shadow of the dark trees and flowers in the yard, and couldn’t help tightening her collar, and then hurriedly left .

The crescent moon was like a hook, shining coldly onto the ground, casting a gloomy shadow on the bluestone brick floor . This summer night was unknowingly somehow steeped in cold air .

…

Yu Linglong slept until midday . She felt refreshed, completely comfortable, and her mood was exceptionally good .

She raised the bed curtains and looked around the quiet room . She knew that Xuan Cao and Ling’er had observed she was not yet awake and were guarding outside the room . She slipped on her pajamas and walked out of the bedroom .

As soon as she entered the main hall, she heard the chattering of Xuan Cao and Ling’er at the door .

“…Why isn’t Lord Xu coming these days?” The voice was clear and the words were straightforward, and she knew it was Ling’er .

Xuan Cao laughed in a low voice: “He’s a lord, how can he run to us every day?”

Ling’er sneered: “He’s still a prince, riding a horse into our courtyard . Isn’t it funny?”

Xuan Cao couldn’t help but laugh out loud: “You’re so funny! Be careful not to be heard, or you’ll be punished!”

Ling’er sighed, seemingly regretful: “I still think the lord really likes our mistress . Who knows what happened, he persevered for three days and then stopped coming . ”

Xuan Cao seemed to suddenly remember something: “Could it be that the lord got sick the day it rained?”

Xuan Cao’s tone suddenly became excited: “Yes, yes, he must be sick!”

Yu Linglong was happy and amused . These two girls were crazy . They were talking about the affairs of their mistress behind them, but they still talked with such gusto .

Yu Linglong coughed deliberately, and Ling’er sitting at the door suddenly jumped up and ran in, her little face flushed . She didn’t know whether she was nervous or guilty . She watched Yu Linglong’s expression in a sneaky way and had nothing to look for . She said: “Miss, are you awake? We will wash your face!”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse . com]

Seeing Linger’s cautious appearance, Yu Linglong didn’t know whether she thought she would be reprimanded or blamed . She pretended she didn’t hear them, and said, “Go get the water . ”

Ling’er was relieved and ran out smiling .

Xuan Cao came in holding an embroidery hoop and looked back at Ling’er’s cheerful figure as she walked: “Ling’er is very happy to come in, she’s much more lively than when she first came . ”

Since meeting Fu Yong’er in the Shangwu hall, Ling’er was obviously more cheerful . She thought it was because she knew that her brother had a lot of support and she felt very relieved .

Yu Linglong lowered her head for a moment and said, “I’m going to the ancestral hall in a little while . Follow me and let Ling’er stay at home . ”

Xuan Cao’s thoughts moved slightly, and she already understood Yu Linglong’s meaning: “…Yes, I’ll obey you . ”

Today was the day when sorceress Bai would hold the soul-calling ceremony . The location was in the ancestral hall in the inner courtyard of the Yu house . Was Yu Linglong afraid that Ling’er would see the ancestral hall and think of her relatives who have died?

After Yu Linglong washed her face and put on her make-up, Ling’er went out with the copper basin and opened the door to throw the remaining water out .

Who knew that when the door was opened, Ling’er was startled, and the copper basin in her hand was almost knocked over .

“Oh, Lord Xu, why are you standing here!”

Lord Xu’s long figure stood motionless under the swaying shadow of the flowers . His face was always smiling but not smiling, and he did not know how long he stood .

Yu Linglong heard Ling’er’s scream and holding a wooden comb in one hand and her hair in the other, she walked over to the door .

When Lord Xu saw Yu Linglong, his eyes lit up: “Linglong, I can finally see you . ”

Yu Linglong glared at him and said angrily: “Standing silently at someone’s door early in the morning, do you want to die?”

Lord Xu was not annoyed, and walked into the yard by Ling’er, as usual with a distinguished and elegant stride .

“I’ve been here so many times and I finally entered your yard . This method seems to work really well . ”

She knew how to scold his cheekiness but didn’t punish him . Yu Linglong simply turned and went back to the room, directly treating this guy as air .

Lord Xu was as comfortable as if he had entered his own backyard . He touched the rocks, tables, and stools in the yard, and twiddled with the flowers and plants . He smiled and said, “There are bamboo forests, flowers, and Linglong . You are so elegant . ”

The little maids and cooks of Pinlan Court naturally didn’t dare to step forward to stop him, as they were afraid of causing trouble . They all quietly avoided him .

Ignoring that Yu Linglong was only wearing a robe and had no hairpins, Lord Xu went into the boudoir openly and looked to his left and right as usual: “Linglong, this room is not bad . Although it is not as big as mine, it is well furnished and delicate . ”

Yu Linglong was not a lady of the ancient world . A man had intruded her boudoir . As before, her face was not flushed and she didn’t move to stop him . She minded her own business and combed her hair .

Lord Xu turned around . He couldn’t help it and walked to Yu Linglong’s side, and presented the things in his hand to Yu Linglong like a treasure: “Linglong, look at this, do you like it?”

Yu Linglong pulled up the hair in her hand and pushed away Lord Xu who was in the way . She picked up the jade comb on the dressing table and inserted it into her bun, completely ignoring him .

Lord Xu opened the box, took out a gold sheathed dagger, and drew it out with a swish .

Yu Linglong only felt the cold light before her eyes . The dazzling light eclipsed even the sun shining outside, and she couldn’t help but lift her gaze .

Between Lord Xu’s slender fingers he held a dark dagger, no more than seven inches long . Although its appearance was not good, the blade was flashing with cold light, which was chilling .

Yu Linglong took the dagger from Lord Xu without a word and brushed her slender white fingertips across the blade . Although it was summer, she could still feel the coolness from the blade .

Yu Linglong had been immersed in various weapons for many years . At a glance, she could tell that this dagger was rare and high quality . Although in modern times there were many kinds of guns and weapons for self-defense, she preferred cold weapons, especially this short dagger, which was easy to carry . It can be unexpected when attacking, and the effect is excellent when it comes to close combat .

She didn’t want to be polite when someone brought such a good thing to her door, just as compensation for being harassed for many days .

Yu Linglong took the scabbard from Lord Xu and placed it in the drawer of the dressing table .

Lord Xu’s handsome face beamed immediately, and he said with a complacent look: “I just knew you’d like it!”

Yu Linglong took the dagger, but still didn’t give Lord Xu a good look, and turned back to call Xuan Cao: “Change my clothes for me . ”

Xuan Cao glanced at Lord Xu hesitantly: “Miss…”

Lord Xu said with a smile, “Linglong, I’ll wait for you at the door!”
