Chapter 604 Going to Find the First Wife
The ghost only stayed at the door for a while and then left. It did not stay with the second concubine for too long.
Her heart was finally at ease, and she quickly closed the gate again.
If Gu Chaoxi hadn't asked about this matter today, the second concubine would have planned to keep it to herself.
After listening to her story, Gu Chaoxi was silent for a moment.
The black shadow went to find the third concubine because the land deed from her could guarantee him a lifetime of food and clothing, and he came to find the second concubine because she had something so-called life-saving.
Therefore, this dark shadow clearly knew that each concubine had something in her hands, and even if she did not rely on Ji Ze, she could live well on her own.
If you think about it this way, the first wife and the fourth concubine might have also encountered the dark shadow?
She said goodbye to the second concubine and quickly went towards the first concubine's yard.
Perhaps he and Pei Yan had the same idea, and the two of them met on the road outside the eldest lady's courtyard.
"Are you here to see the first wife too?" Pei Yan asked her.
Gu Zhaoxi nodded and said in a low voice: "I just asked the second concubine some questions and wanted to come over to verify them. What about you?"
"I just had some doubts, so I wanted to come and take a look."
When Pei Yan went to bed last night, he always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
I didn't wake up until the morning and heard the maids discussing the eldest young master.
The maid said that the eldest young master's original plan was to study abroad, but now Ji Ze is unwell, so this matter has been delayed.
He suddenly remembered that Ji Ze originally did not agree with his child going abroad, but the eldest young master actually had such a plan.
That means that the eldest young master doesn't care whether Ji Ze provides funding for him to go abroad. In that case, where does the money for his study abroad come from?
She can only be the eldest lady.
The two looked at each other and walked towards the eldest lady's yard together.
As soon as the maid saw the two people coming in, she quickly put down the basin in her hand and wiped her clothes twice: "Second Miss, Third Master!"
This sound is equivalent to reminding the people inside who is coming.
The eldest lady looked up towards the door, but did not move from her seat. Instead, she turned to look at the person sitting next to her.
"Son, just do what you have to do."
When Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan walked to the door of the room, the eldest young master just walked out of the room.
He was wearing a black coat today and looked like an old-time teacher, with a pair of glasses on his nose.
Gu Chaoxi's gaze swept across him and quickly retracted.
Pei Yan walked towards the direction of the eldest lady, but she suddenly stopped and looked in the direction where the eldest young master left.
He walked briskly, with the corners of his gown fluttering as he moved, and he actually looked as if he was taking pleasure in revenge.
Then, she withdrew her gaze and turned towards the seat where the eldest lady was sitting.
"Sit down, don't stand."
The eldest lady glanced at them indifferently and raised her hand to signal the two of them to sit down and talk.
Gu Chaoxi nodded and sat down on the chair next to her, and Pei Yan also sat down next to her.
"Just tell me what you want, don't beat around the bush."
She has lived in this house for so many years, and because of her identity as General Ji Ze's wife, she has seen a lot of things.
When these youngsters came over, she knew what they were going to do just by taking two steps.
Gu Chaoxi glanced at Pei Yan, obviously not expecting the eldest lady to speak so directly.
I'd rather not beat around the bush and just say it out loud.
"I came here today just to ask the eldest lady if she has seen anything strange, such as the ghost that the third concubine mentioned."
The eldest lady sighed and put down her hand that was originally on the table.
“Speaking of which, it is indeed very strange.”
Ever since I saw that black shadow once in the funeral hall, I felt like I was haunted by it.
Sometimes, the eldest lady even felt that there were actually no such strange things in this house. It was just because the old lady had passed away that they imagined things to scare themselves.
But last night, when the dark shadow stood in her yard, she was indeed frightened.
She was sleeping in a daze at that time. When she got up at night, she heard rustling sounds in the yard.
Her yard was almost in the middle of the entire mansion, so it could be considered very safe. Even if a thief came in from outside, it would be others who would be in trouble first.
But when this voice sounded, the eldest lady felt that she should come out to see what had happened.
So, she came to open the door wearing her own clothes. Who would have thought that as soon as she opened the door, she would see a dark shadow standing in the yard.
The gate to the courtyard was also open.
The gate of the courtyard was left open to provide convenience for the maids who would come to serve in the courtyard the next day.
After all, this kind of door can only be locked from inside the yard and there is no way to lock it from the outside.
But locking you up with something is a bit too immoral.
The black shadow stood in the yard without moving. The eldest wife was frightened awake, but she didn't dare to move. She just watched.
The dark shadow suddenly ran towards her, and she was so scared that she immediately closed the door.
Fearing that the dark shadow might force its way in, the eldest wife turned her back and held the door open. The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer.
Sweat broke out on the eldest wife's forehead. Fortunately, the dark shadow just knocked on the door when it approached.
She didn't dare to look back and held on tightly.
After a while, the knocking on the door stopped and the sound of footsteps dragging on the ground was heard fading away.
After a long time, the eldest wife finally relaxed, her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.
When she returned to bed and tried to fall asleep again, she couldn't fall asleep.
It was not until the sky outside began to brighten that she finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep for a while.
"Do you know why Black Shadow wants to find you?"
"I know." The eldest wife nodded.
In her hands, she held several house deeds and land deeds of the Ji family. Although these house deeds and land deeds were not particularly valuable, they could still make a lot of money if they were all sold at a slightly lower price.
Gu Chaoxi blinked his eyes. Sure enough, the eldest wife also had something like this that could be exchanged for money to ensure that she would have no worries about food and clothing.
Then the next one is the fourth concubine.
However, she suddenly thought of a new problem.
"Madam, do you know who that dark figure is who is playing tricks?"
The eldest wife looked at her but did not answer for a moment. Instead, she picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
Then, he smiled slowly: "It doesn't matter who it is, kid, sometimes the result is what really matters."
"I suppose you have other things to do? Then go ahead and don't waste your time here with me."
The land deeds and house deeds of the Ji family are not a small number, so of course she would not put them all together.
