Chapter 66 Nightmare
Su Qingping couldn't help but look at Liu Rong. When Liu Rong first came
to her side, she did a careful investigation of her, and by chance discovered
that Liu Rong’s mother was the illegitimate daughter of Hua Pozi, that
is, Liu Rong is the granddaughter of Hua Pozi. At that time, after
learning this unknown secret, she felt that it might be useful in the future. I
did not expect that this is now really used, but unfortunately, the final
result failed.
"Liu Rong, have you ever felt that Hua Pozi is a bit pitiful?"
Su Qingping asked tentatively on purpose.
"That Hua Pozi, she is so old but she still suffers from this
suffering, it is a bit pitiful." Liu Rong said sympathetically, and then
shook her head again, "However, she did this kind of murdering the
master can only be regarded as self-inflicted and not worthy of sympathy."
Su Qingping finally relaxed and thought: It seems that Liu Rong should
still be unaware. But just in case, I have to look for another available
bargaining chip.
As for Nangong Xin, Su Qingping smiled grimly. Even if he complained to
Su Shi, so what, with her own deadly denial, who could believe this fool who
bumped into a ghost and talked nonsense?
Thinking about it, she could not help but frown lightly, but this is
always the next best thing, if possible, it is best not to spread a hint of a
thing detrimental to her reputation for good!
What Su Qingping worried about did not happen in the end. Nangong Xin
seemed to have forgotten what he saw yesterday afternoon. There were no rumors
about her and Nangong Cheng in the Mansion and Su Shi did not call her over for
questioning. Although this made her breathe a sigh of relief, at the same time
she also found that her past two days had not gone smoothly.
She usually wants to eat some bird's nest, white fungus soup, and so on.
The kitchen delivers them well and in time. But now, it took a long time to
deliver it, there are still some frothy crumbs, which made people turn down their
appetite.
This is not bad, but what makes her angry is that the meals used to be
fresh and delicious, so she could not help but have a big appetite. But the
last two days she ate like wax and chewed, unbearable.
Ask someone in the kitchen to reason, saying that the dishes are too
light, but the other party said that the vegetarian food in the house has
always been light. If the biao guniang is not used to eating, then take
a jar of salt.
Told the people in the kitchen that the fish was too fishy, but the
other party said that the steamed fish is just like this. If the Biao
guniang thinks this fish is fishy, you can taste the pickled fish, which
is not fishy at all. Once she bought pickled fish over and tasted it, but it
was so spicy. Talk to the other party again, and the other party said
with conviction, pickled fish are like this . If you don't eat spicy food, then
don't eat it!
She ordered a pumpkin cake, but it was so sweet that her teeth hurt, but the
other party said this is a pumpkin from a certain farm, two months before the
market than other places, this is the taste. If Biao guniang doesn't
like it, you can go out and buy another one.
Su Qingping was so angry at this tricky remark that her whole body was
about to blow up. But there was nothing she could do about it, she couldn't go
to Su Shi's place to sue for such a trivial matter. It’s not that you’re
missing food or something, it’s just unpalatable. She is just a guest after
all!
In the end, she could only suffer this dumb loss, but she hated the Zhao
Shi in her heart.
In the Nangong Xin encounter ghost incident, she was regarded as
offending Zhao Shi, thinking about when Zhao Shi looked at her with gloomy eyes
yesterday, she must be suspicious of her. And the fact that she is being made
so difficult by these unruly slaves must be behind mastermind Zhao Shi!
As for the Erfang family, Su Qingping didn't care at all. Nangong
Xin is a fool, and Lin Shi is a stupid. Nangong Yue seems a little clever, but
what kind of change can a little girl bring? As for the second cousin, Nangong
Mu, even if he suspected that she was related to Nangong Xin’s encounter with
ghosts. But there is no evidence, and it is not necessary to use these
unorthodox women's tactics.
On the contrary, the Zhao Shi was the mistress who presided over
lifestyle in the Nangong Mansion, and was completely capable and reasoned to do
this.
Su Qingping stroked her aching teeth and looked in the Linghua mirror.
She kept cursing Zhao Shi in her heart. Her teeth were so painful, don't know
if her face was swollen?
A beautiful face was reflected in the Linghua mirror. The complexion is
like jade, crystal clear and fair. A pair of autumn eyes are radiant, and a
beautiful nose and sandalwood mouth. Although it is not a national color, it is
also called beautiful and refined.
Su Qingping smiled confidently. With such beauty, it makes no sense to
marry a wishful man and enjoy the glory and wealth.
Su Qingping felt self-pity looking at the mirror and took up her eyebrow
pencil as she was preparing to draw her eyebrows, but she was shocked the next
moment.
Only to see the original flower-like beauty in the Linghua mirror,
has greatly changed its appearance. The original watery skin has dried up like
a sudden loss of water. The original glowing autumn eyes had lost their luster,
as if they were drying raisins like black holes hanging therein the eyeballs
and seemed to be able to hear the "click" sound.
Su Qingping screamed in terror and threw away the Linghua mirror in her
hand.
With a "pop", the Linghua mirror fell to pieces.
*antique bronze mirror with flower petal edging, most commonly from
the Tang dynasty
But the "click" sound was still incessantly drilled into her
ears.
"Ka Ka!"
"Ka Ka Ka Ka!"
The weird clicking sound seemed far and near echoing in her ears ......
she couldn't help but turn her head to look and was scared out of her wits.
Don't know when there was a white skeleton in my own room.
The two balls of green fire in the eyes glowing, so that people can not
help but feel creepy. The skeleton mouth opened and closed, emitting a
"click" sound.
Fear, like the vines growing on the ground, climbing upwards along Su
Qingping's ankles, binding her hands and gradually wrapping around her neck,
making her feel difficult to breathe.
"Ah!" Su Qingping could no longer contain her inner fear and
screamed in terror, her whole body collapsing.
"Click, click, click!" The skeleton's mouth was still emitting
a "click" sound. The two ghostly green fires are more like devouring
beasts that will come towards at any moment.
"Help! There's a ghost!" Su Qingping finally couldn't support
herself anymore, her eyes went black and she lost consciousness.
Su Qingping woke up again after being awakened by Liurong.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Liurong asked with a worried
look at Su Qingping.
Su Qingping's face was terrified and confused, and her eyes showed deep
fear. She grabbed Liu Rong's hand in a deadly grip, a trace of pain flashed
across Liu Rong's face, but did not shout out.
"Liurong, ghosts, there are ghosts." Su Qingping said in a
trembling voice.
Liurong was startled. "Miss, you, you, don't scare me, where's the
ghost?"
"Really, there are really ghosts." Su Qingping said in shock,
"Didn't you hear those 'click' sounds?"
"Clicking" sound?
Liu Rong listened and really heard some rattling sound. She followed the
sound and saw that one of the windows was not closed tightly and wind blew
through making a sound like "snap". She immediately said
comfortingly: "Miss, that is just the sound of the wind blowing through
the window, Nubi will close the window." She said she tried to draw
her hand.
Su Qingping was half convinced and let go of her hand. After Liu Rong
closed the window tightly, really did not hear the "click" sound, she
was a little relieved.
