I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 618 How can a ghost appear in the daytime?

Gu Chaoxi returned to the yard and before she had time to go into the room to sit down and rest for a while, the maid in the yard trotted over to her side.

"Second miss!"

She turned her head and looked confused: "What's wrong?"

"Just now Miss Wu came to look for you, but you weren't there. She asked you to come back, so could you go look for her?"

"Fifth sister?" Gu Chaoxi was a little puzzled. What could she want from him?

But after thinking about it, she nodded again: "I'll go in the afternoon."

Speaking of which, it seemed unexpected that the eldest young master went to see Ji Ze today. I wonder what the fifth young lady wanted to see me about.

Gu Chaoxi returned to the room, threw himself on the bed, rolled twice, and then suddenly got up from the bed.

The girl who went to the kitchen to get food in the yard had returned with several food boxes and was placing them on the dining table slowly and methodically.

Today's meal was quite good, with three dishes and a soup. She was eating alone and was happy and comfortable.

After dinner, she lay on the bed thinking about things. Her thoughts were running wild in her head and seemed incoherent.

Maybe Ji Ze’s house has bad feng shui.

Thinking of this, Gu Chaoxi slowly fell asleep. When she woke up again, it was already past three in the afternoon.

At noon, she instructed the maids in the yard that no matter who came, they should say that she was resting and would not see guests.

Just after waking up and washing her face, the little girl came over and said, "Second Miss, the Fourth and Third Young Masters came to see you at noon."

"What did they say?"

"The fourth young master said he came to see what sister was busy with. As for the third young master, he said you knew what he was going to do."

"Yeah, okay." Nodding, Gu Chaoxi walked back into the room. It was a bit chilly outside, and she felt she needed to put on an extra coat.

After putting on her coat, she walked out to the yard, not forgetting to remind the maid in her yard.

"If anyone comes to see me again, just tell them I went to my fifth sister's place."

"I understand, Miss." The maid responded.

She walked slowly towards the Fifth Miss's yard, turned a few corners, and arrived at the door.

The maid in the yard was sitting idly on a stone bench sewing something. When she saw someone coming at the door, she immediately stood up.

"Second miss."

She nodded when she heard that. The little maid leaned forward to her, turned her head and shouted loudly into the room: "Fifth Miss, the Second Miss is here."

Gu Chaoxi walked into the house and raised his hand: "It's okay, I'll go in. Fifth sister is not in good health, so there's no need to come out to greet me."

When she finished speaking, she just walked to the steps. The fifth lady came to the door, saw her, and stopped.

"Second sister." The voice was so soft and weak that Gu Chaoxi couldn't help but look at her twice more.

She actually looked pretty good these days, but her body was a little weak, so she put on a cloak and wrapped herself up completely.

Miss Fifth led her to the tables and chairs on the left. She didn't say anything, but just followed behind.

After she sat down, Fifth Miss brought the teacup and poured her a cup of tea. When she pushed the cup in front of her, she slowly curled the corners of her lips and smiled.

"I went to my second sister's yard this morning to look for her, but she wasn't there. It was difficult for her to come to me."

Gu Chaoxi blew on the teacup, and the tea in it was still hot.

She looked up, then lowered her eyes, hiding some of the emotions in her eyes.

"Fifth sister is not in good health, so I, as her elder sister, should take better care of her. I can just take this trip as exercise, which is not a big deal."

"I went to see my father this morning, but I missed my fifth sister. I wonder what she wants to talk to me about?"

After she finished speaking, Fifth Miss said "Oh" as if she suddenly understood, then she chuckled and put her hands down on her legs.

"I just wanted to ask my second sister about what's been going on in the yard recently. I heard from mother that the house is not peaceful, and she asked me to walk around less on weekdays."

"Well." The third concubine talked to her a lot, and she didn't know whether this fifth lady was one of the people behind the scenes.

Those who know these concubines well are often the people closest to them.

Ji Ze may not understand every concubine, but he may understand their children, especially those who grew up around them.

Although the Fifth Miss did not grow up with the Third Concubine, she was her child after all, and the Third Concubine had no defenses against her.

It's very easy to know the third concubine's secret.

Gu Chaoxi rubbed his index finger on the teacup twice, blinked, and smiled easily: "Fifth sister, have you also heard the rumors in the house? Do you think it's true?"

He did not answer Gu Chaoxi's words immediately. Instead, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

"I think everyone has their own opinion. What do you think, second sister?"

She chuckled, raised her eyes and stared at the Fifth Miss for a long time, her gaze fell on the hand that she was holding the teacup. The knuckles were slender, white and tender, and one could tell at a glance that she was a lady raised in a large family.

"But I really saw it, sister."

He spoke each word slowly, looking up into the Fifth Miss's eyes.

She just blinked slowly, as if she didn't quite understand what Gu Chaoxi said. She was slow for a moment before she spoke again.

"Second sister, have you met? When?"

"Of course it was at night. How could a ghost appear in the daytime? Am I right?" Her tone became lighter. She took a sip of tea and put the cup on the table.

The Fifth Miss was silent for a moment, and no one knew what she was thinking. She raised her head again after a moment.

There was no particular change in his expression. He just raised his hand, lifted the hair beside his ear, and looked at Gu Chaoxi.

"Second sister is right. There is no way a ghost would appear in the daytime. But I have never believed in ghosts. Maybe someone is just pretending to be a ghost."

She seemed particularly frank when she said this, but Gu Chaoxi didn't want to go along with her.

"Fifth sister, you should know that there are some things that require awe."

You may not believe in ghosts or gods, but at least you should respect them. After all, the world is so big, and there are always many things that are beyond your cognition.

Among all things, even the illusory things have a certain logic.

Sometimes, denying something too early only shows your stupidity.

The fifth young lady lowered her head and did not respond, as if she did not want to answer the question anymore.

Gu Chaoxi looked at her and leaned back a little, leaning against the back of the chair.

"Fifth sister, come to think of it, I have something curious to ask you." Since we are already sitting in this yard, it is better to say some things.

"Sister, just say it directly."

"You and Big Brother, your relationship is really just superficial, okay?"

After all, it is rare to have a younger sister who can get so much attention from the eldest young master.

The Third Young Master is his own brother, but he is not always that fond of him.
