She was so scared that she didn't dare to open her eyes. The hairpin in her hand was fiercely swiped backward. "Get away!"
She lost her footing and fell to the ground in a most awkward state. Suddenly, her palm touched something. She turned her head and saw a somewhat damaged skeleton being pressed under her hand. Her hand just happened to press on the two extremely eerie eye sockets.
"Ah!"
Xue Jingjia was already scared out of her wits. Looking around, there were skeletons as soon as she entered. The gentle breeze blew by, carrying with it a strange sound of the flute, exactly the same as what had appeared in the Grand Marshal's Mansion before.
She couldn't help cursing Liu Rumei in her heart. What did she mean by "it's already taken care of"? It clearly wasn't!
Who on earth was playing tricks on her?
Who would have thought that just as this thought flashed through her mind, something suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her view.
She fixed her eyes and suddenly realized that this thing was actually floating in the air without touching the ground.
Her heart tightened again. Her eyes were full of fear. She tightly held the only weapon in her hand and, shivering, looked up. A hideous face appeared in front of her.
Another shrill scream rang out: "Ah! Ghost... There's a ghost! Someone come quickly! Come quickly!"
He was clearly dead. How could he appear here?
Zhou Xudong's face was blue and purple. His eyes were full of unwillingness. He stared fixedly at Xue Jingjia in front of him. Scarlet blood dripped from his empty eye sockets, like tears, dropping to the ground.
How could Xue Jingjia bear such a gloomy and terrifying sight? Although she was cruel and ruthless, she was after all just a young girl!
"Get away from me, get away!"
It seemed that Zhou Xudong heard her words. Another gentle breeze blew by, carrying a little dust that made Xue Jingjia's eyes blink. When she opened her eyes again, the bloody scene in front of her had disappeared. The strange green fires in the house behind her had also all gone out. The whole courtyard had returned to calm again, but the skeletons on the ground still reminded her that all this was not a dream.
She fled towards the door like a madman, wanting to escape this gloomy and terrifying place as soon as possible.
However, just as she opened the courtyard door, she saw a skeleton standing right in the middle of the door. The bones were full of wounds, and it was tottering towards her.
The delicate makeup on Xue Jingjia's face had already disappeared. Her tears had long since wet it.
She subconsciously stepped back. Her eyes were full of fearful tears. "Get away, get out..."
Suddenly, she bumped into something behind her. A cold feeling instantly spread throughout her body, making her shiver involuntarily.
Just as she was about to turn around, a cold voice came from her ear, eerily mysterious: "Why did you kill me..."
This familiar voice made Xue Jingjia's heart suddenly turn cold. Without thinking, she tried to rush out of the door.
But unexpectedly, the skeleton standing at the door also walked towards her. A gloomy voice came from its mouth, "Why..."
Watching the skull open and close, accompanied by the strange sound of the flute, sobbing and plaintive, it made one's hair stand on end.
Xue Jingjia was already buried by fear. Her face was pale as she continuously shrank towards the corner beside her. "It wasn't me. I didn't want to either... It was you who forced me. It was all of you who forced me."
On the roof not far away, Liu Rumei was being held in Mo Liandi's arms. Xue Changsheng and the others beside them all had complex expressions on their faces.
In a place where Xue Jingjia couldn't see, A Nan and Heng Niang were controlling the silver threads in their hands to make Zhou Xudong and that skeleton walk towards Xue Jingjia.
"Give me back my life... Give me back my life..."
"Jiajia, come with Daddy. Jiajia..."
"Jiajia..."
Xue Jingjia's eyes were full of madness. She held the hairpin in her hand and fiercely swiped at the two of them. "Get away from me! Get away!"
"I'm the eldest miss of the Marshal's Mansion. I'm not the daughter of such a lowly person like you! It's all your fault! Why did you come to find me! Why did you tell me the truth."
After saying that, she angrily shouted at the skeleton again: "It's his fault. You go find him. It was he who asked me to kill you, and it was also he who asked me to dismember your body and scatter it everywhere. If you want revenge, go find him! Don't come to me."
"Get away from me, get out..."
Heng Niang sneered as she watched this scene in front of her. She rolled her eyes and then said, "You're my daughter, Jiajia. I've done so many things for you. Why don't you recognize me? Why did you kill me?"
A Nan beside her was full of helplessness in his eyes, but he also very cooperatively sent the skeleton in front of Xue Jingjia.
Xue Jingjia's voice was full of tremors. She curled up together. Her eyes were full of deep hatred. "I'm not your daughter. My father is Xue Changsheng, the Grand Marshal in the court! Not you, this lowly servant. Not you. You deserved to die. It was you who brought that bitch here. It was you who ruined everything for me. It's all your fault..."
At this point, Xue Jingjia didn't know where she got the strength. She suddenly turned over and got up. She picked up a human bone from somewhere and waved it at the two people in front of her.
Zhou Xudong's body was hit right on. Two of the silk threads in Heng Niang's hand were also broken. Heng Niang secretly thought something was wrong in her heart. The next moment, Zhou Xudong's body crashed to the ground.
Xue Jingjia's eyes were full of surging hatred. She tightened the hairpin in her hand and fiercely stabbed it into Zhou Xudong's body. "Whether you're a human or a ghost, you have to die. No one can stop me!"
Heng Niang stared at this scene in front of her in a daze. This little girl was really powerful. She could even fight back!
However, their goal had already been achieved. A Nan also put down the silver thread in his hand, and that skeleton crashed to the ground.
Xue Jingjia was slightly stunned. Her eyes were full of disbelief. What was going on?
After a while, the maids in the courtyard finally appeared. Each of them held a lantern in their hands and stood trembling on one side. Obviously, they were in awe of the skeletons in the courtyard and Zhou Xudong's body.
At this time, Mo Liandi also flashed down from the roof with Liu Rumei in his arms.
Xue Zhan was carrying the Yun Xi brothers and followed closely behind.
Xue Changsheng was full of surging anger in his heart. He never would have thought that the daughter he had raised for so many years would be so cruel that she wouldn't even spare her own biological father!
Seeing the sudden appearance of people in the courtyard, even if Xue Jingjia was a fool, she would understand. She looked at Liu Rumei in disbelief. "Bitch, you framed me!"
Heng Niang shook her head and walked past her. "What a venomous person!"
A Nan also felt a bit unhappy in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't have much hope for this half - sister in front of him. He indifferently said to Xue Zhan, "I'll leave first, young master."
After saying that, he was about to pull Heng Niang away. The opportunity was just right. In order to avoid not guarding the door, he had to strike first.
