In the next few days, Shi Li seemed to have forgotten about the hairpin and just kept wearing it on her head every day.

After searching busily, there was no trace of Hu Xiaoli or the scholar.

Shi Li was very depressed.

She Lu and the others did not provide any useful clues, and they were just wondering why Jiang Sheng was hiding at home. Only Shi Li knew that Jiang Sheng probably did not want others to know about his ridiculous affair with the Painted Skin Ghost.

Late at night on the seventh day, she closed her eyes and rested in the side room of the Lin Mansion.

Without any warning, I heard an extremely terrifying tiger roar and suddenly opened my eyes.

The tiger's roar came unexpectedly.

But let alone Haiyang City, even in the deep mountains where she was born, there were many common animals, but there was not a single tiger.

How could a tiger suddenly appear, and appear in Haiyang City?

Shi Li felt vaguely uneasy, so he stood up and walked out of the room to see if anything had happened again.

After walking out of the wing room, he found that he could not leave the courtyard no matter what. He also saw that the lights in the Lin Mansion were on everywhere, as if everyone had woken up.

When Shi Li was puzzled, she saw two maids accompanying Madam Lin hurriedly walking towards her.

When she got closer, she saw that Mrs. Lin came in a hurry, her hair was only loosely tied up, and her face was not made up, as if she had just woken up from a dream to come to see her.

"I seemed to hear a tiger roar just now." Shi Li said hesitantly.

She noticed that Mrs. Lin walked three meters away from her and stopped moving closer, and she seemed to be holding something in her hand.

Mrs. Lin's face looked a little pale in the night wind. She frowned slightly and said softly, "Miss Shi, don't worry too much. These are some things that happened in our Lin family in the past. They will be fine after an hour or so."

Wait for an hour or so?

If something really happened, after an hour or so, I guess only her real body would be left in the deep mountains and forests, right?

Shi Li knew that something was wrong and she didn't trust anyone, but she couldn't leave the yard at all. She could only frown and chase Madam Lin and ask, "Then why am I trapped in this yard? Madam, please help me solve this puzzle."

"Miss, don't make things difficult for me at this time. As long as you stay in the yard well, I promise that nothing will happen to you." Mrs. Lin was unable to answer the question. She subconsciously raised her clenched hands to her chest, and a hint of defensiveness appeared on her face.

It seems her identity has been discovered...

Shi Li realized it later and felt that something was not right.

But she didn't sense any ill will from Mrs. Lin, and now she couldn't leave the courtyard, so she couldn't think of what to do for a moment.

After Mrs. Lin finished talking to her, she did not leave. She just stood there quietly, looking at her with her eyes.

Shi Li felt like she was being watched.

This was not a solution, so Shi Li had no choice but to ask, "Madam, why are you standing here all the time? Is there anything wrong with me?"

She wasn't stupid enough to ask if someone knew her identity, because that would be a confession. If they didn't know, she would know after asking.

Madam Lin blinked her eyes, and she was also very good at lying with her eyes open, "Miss Shi is a guest of our house, so I naturally have to take good care of her."

Shi Li: ...

Okay, okay, let’s pretend and see who can pretend better.

Just as I was secretly complaining, I felt the ground shaking beneath my feet, as if there was an earthquake, but not quite.

After a few breaths, the shaking feeling disappeared.

A few stars seemed to twinkle in the night sky, and then everything returned to calm.

When the ground was shaking just now, Shi Li could vaguely feel a very scary force appearing and disappearing, but Mrs. Lin could not feel it. After she stood firm, she looked towards the direction of the back garden of the Lin Mansion with worry on her face.

Shi Li knew that something must have happened just now, but it should be over now.
