Strange Tales of the Ghosts

Under the maid's crying, Han Ruomei gradually calmed down. This maid had served her for no less than ten Hanshu. She knew her character well. If she wanted to steal things from the house, how could she let her know that from the maid's It looked like she was hiding something, but Han Ruomei didn't expose it.

Get up, I think you have been serving me for a long time. I won't pursue it this time. I will go to the woodshed to think about my mistakes.

Thank you for your kindness, Miss. The maid quickly kowtowed in thanks.

After the maid left, You Sheng felt strange, so he asked: Madam, this may be a clue to find dad, why did you let that girl go so easily?

Ms. sir, I believe Yin'er is not that kind of person. Maybe my father accidentally left it behind and was picked up by others. It has nothing to do with her. Han Ruomei answered with a smile, put the jade pendant into her arms, and suddenly As if remembering something, he reminded: Ms. sir, didn't you say that there is a big case to be handled in the Yamen recently?

Ah, thanks to my lady's reminder, I almost forgot about this. You Sheng stamped his feet and became anxious, hurriedly changing his clothes. Someone from the imperial court issued a wanted order, saying that they wanted to arrest the notorious thief Xue Zhongfei, and ordered me to search the entire city within three days.

Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Han Ruomei. Han Ruomei personally dressed You Sheng. She had a round belly and looked like a good wife. Maybe she was pregnant, but Han Ruomei's temperament was not as cunning as before.

You Sheng looked at Han Ruomei with satisfaction and said tenderly: I am so lucky to have such a good wife like you.

Go quickly, go early and come back early. Han Ruomei urged with a smile. You Sheng did not dare to hesitate and left the Han Mansion in a hurry.

As soon as You Sheng left, Han Ruomei's expression changed. She hurried to the woodshed, opened the door and saw the maid Yin'er squatting beside the wood and crying miserably. Han Ruomei quickly helped her up: Okay Yin'er, I've wronged you, tell me quickly, what's going on?

Miss... The maid cried so hard that she choked and replied: Master... Master, he may have been killed.

Why do you say that? Han Ruomei became anxious and grabbed the maid's hand.

The maid wiped away her tears and looked outside. Seeing no one around, she asked in a low voice, Miss, do you know where I found this jade pendant?

Speak quickly and stop being so pretentious.

This morning I went to the market to buy rouge and gouache for the lady. Suddenly a beggar passed by me and asked me for food, so I simply gave him some reward money. It turned out that the beggar had the master's jade pendant tied around his waist. , I have been in the Han Mansion for such a long time, so I know the master’s personal belongings, so I asked him where he got the jade pendant...” The little maid told how she got the jade pendant. Maybe her good intentions were rewarded, The beggar took her to the place where he found the jade pendant. That place was not far from the county and very close to Wanhuapo. There was no human habitation around. Just under a big tree, a pile of bones lay horrifyingly. I thought some unlucky person had been attacked by a wild beast, so I took away the jade pendant from the pile of corpses. I didn’t know how much the jade pendant was, but I just thought it looked good, so I wore it. The maid was frightened at the time, knowing that it might be Sir, he didn't say anything, but the beggar repaid his gratitude and gave this jade pendant to the maid.

Originally, the body had not been found, and there was still a glimmer of hope in Han Ruomei's heart. Now she felt like the world was spinning and she almost fainted. It was the maid who helped her back to the room, and she rested for a while before she woke up. As soon as she woke up, Han Ruomei couldn't wait to ask the maid to take her to the place where she found the jade pendant.
