Chapter 476: House Fight Turns into Thriller 15
As they spoke, they worked together to open the wooden box. Inside was a tattered diary and some strange props. Yun Shang picked up the diary and read it carefully.
"It turns out that there is someone behind this rumor about a female ghost!" Yun Shang said angrily after reading the diary. "This rumormonger not only made up rumors about the Liu Mansion, but also made up rumors about this female ghost, trying to make the people in the Liu Mansion feel fearful and achieve his goal."
Liu Hui looked at those strange props and understood everything. It turned out that these props were used to create the illusion of a female ghost. The rumormonger used these props and the records in the diary to create the illusion of a female ghost at a specific time and place, making the people in the mansion believe it.
"It's so abominable! We must find out this rumormonger!" Liu Hui said gritting her teeth.
Yun Shang nodded: "That's right! We can't let this rumormonger continue to get away with it. We must bring him to justice!"
So, they began to secretly investigate the identity and whereabouts of the rumormonger based on the clues and props in the diary. After some hard work, they finally found the hiding place of the rumormonger.
It was a remote hut hidden in a dense forest. Liu Hui and Yun Shang quietly approached the hut and peeked in through the cracks in the window. They saw that the house was brightly lit and a figure was busy.
"It's him!" Liu Hui said, pointing at the figure.
Yun Shang nodded: "Yes! It's him! Let's go in quickly!"
As they spoke, they pushed the door open and walked in. The rumormonger heard the noise and turned around abruptly. When he saw Liu Hui and Yun Shang, a look of horror appeared on his face.
"How...how did you find this place?" the rumormonger stammered.
Liu Hui looked at him: "Do you think your plan is perfect? You are wrong! We have found evidence of your crime!"
As they said this, they threw the diary and props in front of the rumormonger. The rumormonger looked at the evidence and his face turned pale. He knew that he had no way to escape.
"What do you want?" the rumormonger said in a timid tone.
Yun Shang looked at him: "We will bring you to justice! Make you pay for what you did!"
Then they tied up the rumormonger and took him to the government. After some interrogation and investigation, the government confirmed the rumormonger's crime and punished him according to law.
With the arrest of the rumormonger, the rumors about the female ghost completely disappeared. The people in Liu Mansion finally realized that it was all the rumormonger's doing. They began to re-examine Liu Mansion and found that this ancient family was not as scary as the rumors said. On the contrary, they found that the people in Liu Mansion were kind, upright, and worthy of respect and trust.
After this incident, the relationship between Liu Hui and Yun Shang became even deeper. They faced difficulties and solved problems together, becoming each other's strongest support. The Liu family also became more united and stronger because of this incident. They worked together to make the Liu family regain vitality and vigor.
However, just when the people in Liu Mansion thought that everything was over, a new mystery quietly emerged.
That day, a maid in Liu's house was picking flowers in the garden when she accidentally heard a strange cry. She followed the sound and found that the cry came from a remote corner. When she got closer, she saw a woman in white standing with her back to her, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and exuding a strange aura.
"Who are you? Why are you crying here?" the maid asked bravely.
However, the woman did not answer her. She still stood there with her back to the maid, crying more and more sadly. The maid was terrified and wanted to run away, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and she could not move.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and the woman's figure suddenly disappeared. The maid was so frightened that she trembled all over and hurried back to the mansion. She told Liu Hui and Yun Shang about this.
After listening to the maid's story, Liu Hui and Yun Shang were filled with doubts. They decided to go to that remote corner at night to see what was going on.
As night fell, the moonlight was like water. Liu Hui and Yun Shang quietly came to that remote corner. They looked around carefully, but found nothing unusual here. However, at this moment, a cry suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility of the night.
Liu Hui and Yun Shang looked at each other and understood: the cry was from that mysterious woman. They decided to follow the direction of the cry to find her.
Mystery in Liu Mansion
Liu Hui and Yun Shang followed the sound, which seemed to have an inexplicable attraction, leading them step by step into the deeper darkness. The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight sprinkled on the winding path. The flowers and trees on both sides swayed gently in the breeze, as if whispering unknown secrets.
"Hui'er, do you feel that this crying sound familiar?" Yun Shang held Liu Hui's hand tightly, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.
Liu Hui nodded, frowning, "Indeed, I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I can't remember where it is at the moment."
The two continued walking and finally came to the end of a path hidden by dense flowers. There, a lonely pavilion stood in the night, and the crying sound came from there. They approached carefully, fearing to disturb the sorrow.
In the pavilion, a woman in white had her back to them, her long hair fluttering in the night breeze. She cried intermittently, as if she wanted to pour out her pain and sorrow to the endless night.
"Excuse me, who are you? Why are you crying here so late at night?" Liu Hui mustered up the courage and asked softly.
The woman's body trembled slightly, but she did not turn around. The crying gradually stopped, leaving only a dead silence. Liu Hui and Yun Shang looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubts and uneasiness.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and the woman's figure suddenly became blurred, as if blending into the night. In the blink of an eye, she had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the echoing sound in the pavilion.
"This...what's going on?" Yun Shang widened her eyes in surprise.
Liu Hui shook her head, her expression solemn: "I don't know, but this matter is definitely not simple. We have to go back and investigate carefully."
The two returned to the mansion, full of doubts. They decided to take a long-term view, first find out the identity of this mysterious woman, and then find a way to solve this series of mysteries.
However, just as they were about to launch an investigation, a sudden piece of news broke the calm - Princess Jing'an was about to hold a flower-viewing banquet and sent an invitation to Liu Hou Mansion.
