Chapter 38: Do Bad Things
Chapter 38
Ming Yue smiled as she carried the teacup back, "This servant will go first, miss should rest well."
"Mm."
Gu Ying put down the book with an expressionless face, listening to the sound of the wind and snow outside, not knowing what she was thinking.
After Ming Yue left for a while.
Yanzhi sneaked out with an elfish laugh, "Miss, this servant added sweating powder in their dinner, they will sleep like dead pigs after going back."
"They won't wake up?"
"That medicine was used for medicating horses in the mansion, they definitely won't wake up."
Gu Ying stood up, grabbed her cloak from the clothes stand, pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "Let's go."
"Great!"
...
On Gu Jia's side.
After hearing Zhou Ma's reply, she slammed the teacup in anger, "Mother! Are you just going to let that cheap hoof Gu Ying bully your child like this?"
Mrs. Liu said impatiently, "Child, this winter hunt has honored guests everywhere, you tried to set her up tonight but failed to frame her, what else do you want to do now?"
Gu Jia cried in anger, a vicious look flashed in her eyes, "I don't know how she suddenly became smart, she opposes me in everything now. I feel like I didn't do anything unforgivable, why does she treat me like this? Since she doesn't take me, her elder sister, seriously and doesn't want me to have a good time, I won't let her have a good time too!"
Mrs. Liu also couldn't figure out why Gu Ying changed into a different person.
The last time that Taoist priest came to the mansion, he didn't find any evil spirits either, until now she still felt it was like seeing ghosts.
"If not, let Ming Yue put something in her drink again tomorrow morning. Don't let her go to the hunting ground and embarrass herself?"
"No!" Gu Jia gnashed her teeth viciously, "We must let her go to the hunting ground, a useless good-for-nothing like her should go to the hunting ground and let everyone laugh at her! I will have someone go and add something to her horse later!"
Mrs. Liu said, "That's also a good idea."
But as her mother, she had an ominous premonition.
She held Gu Jia's little hand and sighed, her eyes slowly moistened, "Jia'er, you have to protect yourself well. Your mother was scared to death by what happened tonight. Seeing you come back in a mess reminded me of your poor fate sister Min, if she was still alive, she would be the same age as you now."
An uncomfortable look flashed across Gu Jia's face as she laughed dryly, "Mother, sister Min passed away so many years ago, stop mentioning her..."
She didn't know if it was bad luck recently, but she was frightened by Gu Min's ghost at the ancestral hall. Now when she thought of Gu Min, she still felt terrified of the words "vengeful spirit seeking revenge".
Mrs. Liu wiped away her tears, "Ai...go rest."
After seeing Mrs. Liu go to sleep, Gu Jia came out from her tent.
In the rustling snow, she gathered her cloak, her sickly pale face was especially gloomy and terrifying.
"Doukou."
"Miss..."
"Go, have someone drug sister Ying's horse."
"Yes..."
Doukou picked up the lantern and went to the stable with the medicine pouch reluctantly.
"Gu Ying, if you're heartless, I'll be unjust!"
Gu Jia sneered and walked towards her own tent.
But she had just walked for a while when she felt a black shadow following her in the vast snow. A creepy chill came from behind, making her hair stand on ends.
"Jia sister~~~"
"Sister~~~ wait for me~~~"
"Still remember your sister~~~"
"Sister was born together with you, how cruel your heart is~~~"
The faint voice coming through the wind and snow pierced her eardrums.
Scared, Gu Jia ran wildly forward.
When the voice was gone, she finally lowered her hands covering her ears. Her whole body stiffened as she held her breath, her eyeballs rolled around looking everywhere in panic.
The thick night was like ink that couldn't dissipate.
In the darkness, the dim lights made the large and small tents scattered around seem even more eerie and bizarre.
She forced her eyes open and suddenly saw a withered tree standing far away at the shooting range. A bright yellow paper was hung on it, stained with blood, with four terrifying big words written on it.
"Vengeful spirit seeking revenge!"
The paper swayed gently like a ghost. Behind it was an indistinct black shadow, vaguely overlapping with Gu Min's figure back then, as if it was going to rush at her.
"Ah!"
She could no longer control herself and let out a scream, frightened into fainting.
The wind and snow rushed back, the pine wind shivered.
"Hahaha."
A charming laugh came from the corner.
Yanzhi spat at Gu Jia on the ground and laughed, "Serves you right, still daring to drug my miss's horse. You deserve to be scared to death!"
Gu Ying pursed her lips with a smile at the corners. She put away the paper and withered tree in her hand elegantly, and said lightly, "So you see, this shows that if you don't sleep at night, you will see ghosts and monsters everywhere."
In her previous life, she had slept too peacefully.
That was why she had missed the countless times Gu Jia tried to scheme against her during the night.
"Miss is right. Servant will go put the medicine Doukou prepared in eldest miss's horse manger later."
Gu Ying nodded lightly, "Let's go, Yanzhi. Let her freeze here a bit longer."
Just as the mistress and servant were about to leave.
"Yo, second miss Gu, leaving after just scaring someone?"
An unfamiliar male voice made their hearts tighten and they had to stop.
Gu Ying frowned deeply. She turned around calmly to look in the direction of the voice.
Seeing it was Su Huanfeng, she felt slightly relieved.
She bowed to him, raised her small face, and revealed an enchanting smile that could bring down cities and countries, "Young master is still not sleeping so late?"
Su Huanfeng's heart skipped a beat seeing that clear and transcendent smile. He stubbornly refused to admit that he had come to find her on purpose, and awkwardly tried to cover it up, "I really can't sleep. You call this not sleeping?"
Gu Jia was sprawled inelegantly on the ground.
Gu Ying tilted her head. Her eyes were as clear as a deer's, "This is my first time following my family out of the manor to attend this grand winter hunt, but my elder sister here has ten thousand tricks to harm me. Young master, tell me, how can I sleep peacefully on such a long night?"
Su Huanfeng raised his brow. He walked up to her.
He had heard that the little girl was fifteen this year and looked like a baby, only coming up to his shoulders.
But she was young yet had matured into a graceful beauty.
Just glancing down at her made his breath hitch.
When she grew up, she would be formidable.
The prodigal young masters in Bianjing would definitely fight him over her.
