Lin Qianqian chewed the delicious meat filling in her mouth and said calmly, "I heard from the prince's wife that he had read some books and could write, so she assigned him to help me."

Gu Huai said to Gu Zhao, "Come closer, come here."

Gu Zhao, who was standing at the door, came over silently and stood three steps away from the two people.

He kept his head down, and his eyes unconsciously moved down to stay below the necks of the two people.

Suddenly, I noticed a red mark on Lin Qianqian's neck where the long silver earrings were hanging. It looked like a mosquito bite, but not quite.

Her skin was very white, as white as the glaze of fine porcelain, making the red mark look glaringly bright red.

Seeing Gu Zhao's submissive attitude, Gu Huai said, "Since you can read and write, you should work hard under Qianqian."

Gu Zhao nodded, "Yes."

Gu Huai followed Lin Qianqian to East Garden.

Along the way, he held her hand and walked beside her reluctantly.

"If I don't go, those women will definitely treat you badly."

"If I go, no matter what they do, they will have to give me some face and not say anything excessive."

The East Garden is the largest garden in the mansion, with many trees planted in it. In addition to the trees for viewing and greening, there is also a peach forest.

There is also a lake of medium size in the middle of the East Garden.

This largest garden is rarely visited by people from the palace, and it is almost half abandoned.

Two girls were hanged here before. People always say that they can hear the crying of female ghosts when they pass by the garden, and they will suffer from sleep paralysis when they return home that night.

“So many weeds have grown that the road has disappeared.”

Gu Huai looked at the wide road in front of him, which was originally paved with bluestone slabs. The dense Chinese spinach on both sides was taller than a person, and the leaves stretched out to block the road.

Gu Huai grabbed Lin Qianqian's right hand and said, "Let's not go over there. There might be snakes, scorpions, centipedes, or even jackals, tigers and leopards!"

When Taozhi heard the snake, he shouted "Snake, there is a snake!" and quickly ran back two steps.

Lin Qianqian walked over, patted her hands, and comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid."

Taozhi felt warm in her heart, "Yeah."

Seeing Lin Qianqian so calm, she also gained courage. What was she afraid of? Even her aunt was not afraid.

Granny Tian, ​​who was standing by, said quickly, "There really is a snake. I was bitten on the leg once before. And I just told you two that two girls died in this garden. It's not clean. You will get sick if you go back. If you have to come here and have a nightmare and get sick, please don't blame us old slaves for not reminding you."

The one who manages the garden together with Granny Tian is Granny Wang.

When Wang Po saw Gu Huai's pale face, she couldn't help but want to laugh. Look, this prince is even more timid than the concubine next to her.

She coughed twice to stop herself from laughing. "This place is really dirty."

"Maybe it's because the one who died was a girl, so she always wanted to pester men."

"Several young men have been possessed by this ghost. Some good young men have lost their spirit and vitality just because they have entered this garden."

"My Lord, I want to give you a piece of advice. You are not very strong, and you are the only child in this mansion."

"If anything happens to you, Granny Tian and I will definitely die to atone for our sins."

Granny Tian said, "The weaker the body and the less yang energy a person has, the more likely they are to attract evil spirits and see dirty things. We are both old, so we won't harm you, will we?"

Gu Huai felt a little frightened by what he said.

He held Lin Qianqian's hand and said, "Qianqian, let's not go any further."

How could Lin Qianqian, a modern person, believe in ghosts and gods? She put her hands on her waist and said in a relaxed manner, "The lake is in front of us. I want to go over and see what the lake looks like."

She was the calmest person in the room.

Granny Wang walked up to Lin Qianqian and said, "Auntie Lin, we have made it very clear. If anything goes wrong, please don't blame us."

She really didn't know where the little girl got the courage from. Even the prince didn't dare to move forward.

If the prince hadn't been beside her, she would never have given her such a good look.

Lin Qianqian turned around and said, "Don't worry, I won't blame you."

Lin Qianqian found a branch as thick as her arm from the bushes nearby, and swung it left and right to push the tall grass aside.
