After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Qianxue was also a gossipy girl. When she heard Wang Yuejiao's question, she instantly became excited and recounted the legend about the "hanged ghost" that she had heard at the banquet during the day. In addition, out of her subjective fear of ghosts, she made the description of the hanged ghost sound even more terrifying.

As for everyone's speculation that Li Yaoyuan's ghost would haunt Xiao Jianting, Qianxue told her every word.

Wang Yuejiao was so scared that she fell into the chair. Her pale face contrasted with the bright wedding dress, as if she was the resentful ghost.

"Li Yaoyuan hates Xiao Jianting, not me..." She muttered to herself, "Every grievance has its perpetrator, if she wants to find someone, she should go to find Xiao Jianting. It's none of my business. Yes, that's right, it's none of my business..."

Qianxue felt that Wang Yuejiao was a little crazy, just like Xiao Jianting who was going crazy looking for Li Yaoyuan in Li Mansion. Both of them were not in a clear mind.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Wang Yuejiao ignored her and urged, "Quick, quick, go find me some yellow talismans."

"There are also peach wood swords, dog teeth, Zhong Kui statues, bronze mirrors, garlic, and something else... Let me think..."

Wang Yuejiao paced back and forth in the room, hitting her left palm with her right fist repeatedly, frowning and thinking for a long time.

Qianxue stood there at a loss, her head swaying from side to side with her movements.

"Go quickly! Why are you still standing there?" Wang Yuejiao urged again.

Qianxue could only do as she was told.

Qianxue was so scared that she lost her soul after searching for these things in the middle of the night. She didn't dare to go to a dark place or a place without people. After searching the mansion, she only found a few pieces of talisman paper and a bronze mirror. Even if other things were in the mansion, they were not easy to find.

Fortunately, Wang Yuejiao did not make things difficult for her. She took the bronze mirror and talisman paper as if they were a talisman and treated them as treasures.

She swept away all the plates of red dates, lotus seeds and other dried fruits on the table, placed the bronze mirror facing the door, and pasted talismans on the door, beside the bed, and hid one on her body. Only after doing all these things did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Qianxue was kept by her and slept with her in the room.

In the middle of the night, Qianxue heard the person on the bed muttering in a daze: "It wasn't me who killed you... Don't bother me... Don't bother me..."

Like a spell, it echoes in the endless darkness.

……

April 15th is the outing festival.

The breeze ripples, the reeds flutter, the distant mountains are green, and the ancient trees are green. The smoke from the cooking stoves rises from the wild inns and villages; the white gulls and autumn geese fly over the water.

The young ladies from the aristocratic families in Beijing made an appointment to go to the suburbs for an outing, to appreciate the flowers and to recite poetry.

Nian Susu didn't want to go at first, but she was depressed after being cooped up in the mansion for so long. Zhihua and Jingzhe begged her again and again, showing her the kite they had made two months in advance and begging her to go, so she had to agree.

On the day of going out, Nian Susu's mood was not very up and down, but Zhihua and Jingzhe were chattering non-stop.

When they arrived in the suburbs, everyone gathered in groups of three or four, talking and laughing, and everyone had made good friends. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but think of Li Yaoyuan.

Everyone thought she was dead, even Nian Susu occasionally had this illusion.

Li Yaoyuan was sent away, and there was no news for half a month. She couldn't help but feel a little worried, but there was nothing she could do. She could only hold the silver bracelet to remind her of her. Nian Qiaoyue saw this several times, and she comforted her: "Sister, the dead cannot be brought back to life, please accept my condolences."

This inadvertently conveyed a message: Li Yaoyuan was really dead.

Prince Ren did not send anyone to keep an eye on Li's mansion again, which showed that her plan was successful.

"Lingling, why are you standing here alone?" A cheerful female voice interrupted Nian Susu's thoughts, and then someone held her arm.

Xiao Yunzheng seemed to be in a good mood. He took her arm and walked along the riverside. "Lingling, I haven't seen you for half a month. Are you okay?"

There was something in her words.

Nian Susu lowered his eyes, knowing what she wanted to ask.

Li Yaoyuan was close to both of them, especially herself, who had the longest contact with Li Yaoyuan. No one could accept the sudden death of her good friend, or the tragic way she left. No matter how strong a person is, his heart is also soft, and Nian Susu is no exception.

She kicked up a stone and said sullenly, "The living should carry on the hope of those who have left and live well."

She glanced at Xiao Yunzheng with gentle eyes and advised: "You too, don't be too sad."

The wind blew her hair up, Xiao Yunzheng exhaled a breath and said "hmm" softly.

It's easier said than done, but in reality, neither of them can do it.

I am clearly sad in my heart, but I still have to pretend to be strong and comfort those around me.

Nian Susu asked again, "Where is Master Xiao? How is he? And Miss Wang..." She suddenly smiled, "Now we should call her Madam Xiao. What about her? Is she causing any trouble?"

With Wang Yuejiao's personality, it was impossible for her to remain indifferent when she heard that Xiao Jianting left her to find Li Yaoyuan. Even if she didn't like Xiao Jianting, she would not allow herself to be betrayed.

Xiao Yunzheng's reaction was flat. She grabbed her handkerchief and said absentmindedly, "Big brother is still the same. He is not in good condition. He has been sick for more than half a month and has not recovered. There have been a lot of crazy talk in the mansion recently, and he actually believed it."

At this point, she forced a bitter smile, very helpless, "He invited many alchemists to the mansion without telling his father, and asked them about the art of summoning souls, as well as some things related to salvation and reincarnation. He never believed in these things before."

"I remember we met a Taoist priest in Nanchu five years ago. He said that my eldest brother had killed too many people and had a lot of evil spirits on him, which would attract some bad things. At that time, my eldest brother asserted that he was a charlatan and that there were no ghosts in the world."

Xiao Yunzheng sighed, "I didn't believe it before, but now I force myself to believe it. Why bother?"

Nian Su Su listened in silence, not knowing what to say to comfort her.

Xiao Jianting is a very persistent person. Unless he figures it out himself, nothing others say will be of any use. Not to mention that Li Yaoyuan died because of him. The guilt alone will torment him for the rest of his life.

That day in the south courtyard of the Li Mansion, in front of the corpse of "Li Yaoyuan", Nian Susu said those hurtful words. She had selfish motives. She hated Xiao Jianting and hated him for almost forcing Li Yaoyuan to death. She wanted him to live the rest of his life with an apology to Li Yaoyuan and hatred for himself.

She now regretted what she said in anger.

If Li Yaoyuan knew that he lived like this, she would definitely feel bad.

Xiao Yunzheng waved her hand to dispel her sorrow, "Forget it, forget it. It's a rare opportunity to come here to have fun, so let's not talk about unhappy things."

Her emotions come and go quickly. She looked unhappy just now, but now I can talk to her enthusiastically about other topics.

Nian Susu was actually quite envious of her.

"Oh, and there's Wang Yuejiao. She was so scared after hearing about Zhizhi that she slept with a peach wood sword in her arms every day. Her room was covered with talismans. I heard that the Taoist priest that my eldest brother invited was intercepted by her and asked about ways to ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts."
