Chapter Eighteen: The Headless Corpse Reappears

  After a day of nervousness, the night finally arrived again. The front hall was somewhat crowded, not only the large group of banquet guests, but also the guards in the castle and the servants and maids all came to the side of the front hall. After all, no one wanted to lose their lives for no reason. Liu Shi saw it and didn't say anything, just thinking about why his second brother's body suddenly became very weak, and he would take a look after it was over.

  The face of the lady of the Liu family was gloomy and somewhat unsightly, her sharp eyes fixed tightly on Liu Shi's body. At that time, he was by Fei'er's side, this matter must be related to him. And that Liu Qi, it must have been his doing, he has the most motive here. These days, the servants have started to look down on themselves. And that second fox spirit. Thinking of this, the lady of the Liu family clenched her silver teeth and tightened her fists, you dare treat me like this, I will not let you get away with it!

  Tonight, Liu Shi specially ordered someone to set up a table in front of the hall door, prepared tea and snacks. The three ghosts sat there steadily, not infected by the tense atmosphere at all, but quietly drinking tea and not talking to each other.

  Just then, the ghost put down the teacup that had just been brought to his lips and said faintly: "It's here."

  Although everyone was crowded in the front hall, the densely packed crowd didn't make a single sound, as if they felt that even loud breathing was not allowed. The ghost's voice was small, but everyone still heard it clearly. Suddenly, the atmosphere became even more tense.

  The three ghosts didn't have time to pay attention to those things, or rather, even if they knew about them, they wouldn't plan on saying anything. After all, what they needed to do was take a good look at this headless ghost corpse.

  The ghost's voice had just fallen when, as the ghost had said, the headless corpse reappeared. This time, however, it did not stride forward to the front hall, but instead floated quietly in mid-air, gazing at everyone in the front hall before slowly fading away.

  "It's gone, it's disappeared." No one knew who started the first sentence, but the front hall suddenly became noisy.

  "He's gone, he's finally gone."

  "Is it because Master is sitting here that he has come?"

  "No matter what reason, it's good to have left."

  "Alas, I've managed to save one life."

  ……

  "Go." The madam of the Liu family said lightly, and her personal maid Chun Xi immediately stepped forward to support her as she left.

  "Madam, I heard that Second Master is bedridden with illness!" Chun Xi said in a low voice.

  "You little scoundrel, what are you trying to say? Are you suggesting I should go see him?" Madam Liu's face turned red with rage as she raised her hand to slap Chunxi.

  "Madam, madam spare my life! Chun Xi didn't mean it that way." Chun Xi hastily knelt down and kowtowed. Seeing the big madam of the Liu family still had a furious expression, he quickly spoke up: "Second Master is bedridden with illness, isn't this to cover people's ears and eyes, and pretend to be a ghost to kill the castle owner?"

  "Hmph!" Madam Liu said coldly, "I've thought of that too, but Liu Qi was present at the scene back then."

  "Wait," Chun Xi suddenly interrupted, "what if there's an accomplice among the guests at the banquet?"

  "You're right too." The old lady of the Liu family suddenly realized and said, "Let's go take a look."

  "Yes." Chun Xi hastily stood up, with a hint of an eerie smile at the corner of his mouth.

  Two people quickly arrived at the door of Liu Qi's house, looking around left and right, but there was not a single person. Chun Xi had no choice but to go up and knock on the door, but after knocking for half a day, there was still no response. Mrs. Liu was slightly angry, and when Chun Xi saw this, she directly used her body to bump against the door. After a while, the door finally opened. Mrs. Liu walked in with an angry face, rushing straight into the inner room, coldly saying: "Liu family's second master, what a big face you have! I personally came to see you, but you closed the door and refused to meet me. Are you really treating yourself as the current master of the Liu family?"

  The bed curtain hangs in front of the bed, and a figure can be vaguely seen bulging under the quilt.

  Mrs. Liu didn't expect herself to say such harsh words, but the people inside still didn't make a sound. Feeling ashamed and indignant, she directly lifted the curtain and reached out to lift the quilt. At this time, when Mrs. Liu was not paying attention, Chunxi had slowly retreated from the room.

  "Ah!" Madam Liu suddenly let out a loud cry and fell to the ground.

  At this time, Chunxi outside the door heard the sound and immediately shouted: "The lady has killed someone, the lady has killed someone."

  Mrs. Liu heard the voice of Chun Xi outside the door, but there was no anger on her face, only a stunned expression that couldn't speak. The person on the bed wasn't Liu Qi, but Liu Qi's personal servant, Xiao Si. At this time, Xiao Si's eyes were wide open and his face was pale. Mrs. Liu lifted the quilt and saw the scene in front of her, and she was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

  "What's going on!" Liu Shi immediately came forward and asked.

  "Third Master, the mistress has killed someone, it's so terrifying, waaahhh..." Chun Xi said intermittently. Liu Shi had already understood the meaning, Chun Xi was the personal maid of Madame Liu, and she wouldn't lie...

  "Second Brother! Second Brother!" Liu Shi shouted as he prepared to rush in.

  "Third brother, cough, third brother how did you come, what's the matter?" Liu Qi came in from outside at this time, accompanied by Miss Zhao Yanran of the Zhao family. Judging from his face, Liu Qi was indeed seriously ill and walked with a slight tremble.

  "That's great, Second Brother, you're fine." Liu Shi said.

  "What's going on?" asked Liu Qi with a cough.

  Liu Shi glanced at Chun Xi with a hint of spring joy, and Liu Qi immediately understood what it meant. If it weren't for Xiao Si today, he would be the one to die.

  "It's a good thing I took Liu Qi to the courtyard early, or else who knows what would have happened?" Zhao Yanran said, her eyes slowly reddening.

  "Yanran sister, you take my brother to the front hall first, I'll handle this here." Liu Shi said, his fists clenched tightly, his face a cold and stern expression.

  "Third brother, cough cough."

  "Don't worry, Second Brother, I know what's appropriate." Liu Shi said.

  Zhao Yanran immediately supported Liu Qi and left this place of right and wrong.

  What happened here was completely unknown to the ghosts, and even if they knew, they wouldn't care. The three of them were sitting at the stone table just like last night.

  "I think it's probably obvious by now," said Chang Qingzi.

  "En." Yīn Huàn Yuè replied faintly.

  "Then let's wait till tonight." The ghost said.

  "Aren't you worried at all?" Chang Qingzi asked with a smile.

  "When the time comes, if I'm no match for you, I'll push both of you out." The ghost said calmly and lightly, then returned to the house.

  "Heh heh, it seems our role is still quite significant." Chang Qingzi said nonchalantly to the ghost's back.

  "I'll push you out." Yin Huan Yue said seriously to Chang Qing Zi, and then returned to the house.

  In an instant, Mugua came to Zhang Qingzi's side and said: "Young Master."

  "Mugua, did you hear that? They were the first to be unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust." Chang Qingzi said with a smile.

  Mugyu helplessly rolled her eyes, as if you had never intended to do so from the start.
