"It's definitely based on an incident. What happened wasn't that bizarre. It was just the love story of a playboy."

"The young master actually went to the same theater, and the master invited him to another theater. There is no such thing as the same but different actresses. There are just two people, but both of them are favored by the young master."

"At first, the young master was attracted by the actresses at the East Theater. He kept her there and often went there for pleasure."

"Later, the master invited another troupe to perform at home to celebrate the young master's birthday. Now, both the young master and the master fell in love with the actress, but the actress chose the master first."

"The young master was unwilling to give up, so he repeatedly seduced the female prostitute. The female prostitute couldn't resist either, and the two of them secretly got together without the master's knowledge."

"This really pissed off the actress. She tried to win back the young master several times, but seeing that it was no use, she reported the matter to the master, and the actress was then thrown into a pig cage."

"When the young master found out about this, he didn't dare to vent his anger on the old master, so he took it out on the actress. However, the actress cried so pitifully that the young master let her go and brought her home as a concubine."

"But one time, when he was drunk, he killed the opera singer! Then he hung her in the pavilion in the backyard. The opera singer was very light, and the wind blew her away."

At this point, the little beggar's eyes were filled with terror, "But the end of this matter is a bit mysterious."

Li Mofu asked quickly, "How mysterious is it?"

"The servants in the courtyard heard the noise and said that the young master had been cursing the actress and calling her a nuisance."

"But when the young master regained consciousness, he said he didn't remember anything. When the servants went to take the opera girl down, they discovered she was hung by a snake, not a rope..."

"Snake?" Li Mofu stared in shock. "How can this snake be tied so tightly?"

"I don't know, I just heard it from someone." The little beggar waved his hand and continued to eat two mouthfuls of noodles, then said, "But this is not the most mysterious thing. The most mysterious thing is that the yard was haunted later!"

Li Mofu pressed on, "Haunted? How?"

"I heard that at night, someone would sing in the pavilion, and a few brave servants would sneak out to see who was playing tricks." The little beggar said in a low voice.

“In the end, I didn’t see anyone, but the sound was still there, so I took a few steps closer.”

"With just a few steps, the servants were close to the pond. The moon was bright and large that day, and they could clearly see the reflection of the opera actress in the water. She was wearing her stage makeup and performing in the pavilion!"

"That scared them half to death, and they ran back to their rooms screaming. Since then, the master's business has been in trouble, and the young master even fell off his horse and broke his leg."

"Later, the master invited a Taoist priest to look at the feng shui. The Taoist priest said that this yard was not a good place and told the master and his family to move out as soon as possible, the farther the better. So this yard was left empty."

The beggar ate the remaining noodles in big mouthfuls and even drank up the soup. At this time, Guozi came back and gave the big cake to the beggar. The beggar took the big cake with a smile on his face and wanted to leave.

"Oh, by the way," the little beggar added, thinking of something, "that yard has been abandoned for many years, but it was recently rented to a new official."

"..." Li Mofu hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and made a puzzled sound, "Huh?"

"That official brought a lot of people with him. I heard that he has a good family background. The officials who came before him didn't dare to intimidate him." The little beggar continued.

After saying that, he waved his hand, left a sentence "Thank you, sir, you are such a kind person" and ran away.

Li Mofu was still sitting there digesting what he had just said. When he came to his senses, he felt unwell and even the noodles didn't taste good.

"Is our yard what the little beggar was talking about?" Li Mofu approached Mo Yi and asked.
