Chapter 330 The Soul-Stealing Ghost?
Hearing Lu Minhui's words, everyone's expression changed involuntarily. Could it be that not only did someone want to harm Princess Xiang, but someone else also wanted to make a move against Princess Anlan?
"Minhui, you are pregnant now. Is someone trying to harm you?"
Princess Xiang looked worried. Only she knew how much she had suffered these past few days. If it were a pregnant woman, she would definitely not have been able to bear it.
Everyone's expressions turned solemn. It was already terrifying enough that such a thing had happened once, let alone that it had happened one after another. Could it be that the people behind this were working together?
“Princess Anlan, your situation doesn’t seem like the work of a little ghost. If you had summoned a little ghost, the things you dreamed about wouldn’t be so simple,” Song Ruozhen said.
Lu Minhui was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at Princess Xiang. Sure enough, Princess Xiang's expression changed. In the past few days, she had been having nightmares about ghosts and monsters that wanted to kill her, but she couldn't escape them. It was extremely terrifying.
"Then what's wrong with me?" Lu Minhui couldn't help but ask.
“Your Highness, why don’t you tell me about your dream in detail?” Song Ruozhen said.
Lu Minhui nodded and recounted how she dreamt of her great-grandmother, who said she was not comfortable, then that she always felt cold, and later that the house was leaking and she couldn't sleep at night.
Chu Jinhuai was amazed by this series of events. It was as if her great-grandmother was still alive and had told her this on her own initiative.
"At first, I thought it was because I was having more thoughts after getting pregnant that I had such dreams, but in the past few days I have kept having these dreams. I have tried many methods but nothing has worked. I am really scared."
Lu Minhui looked helpless. So many people were watching her pregnancy, and she didn't dare to go too far in this matter, much less tell others easily.
Once this gets out, I'm afraid someone will make a fuss about it.
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, this is your great-grandmother visiting you in a dream."
"Huh?" Lu Minhui was shocked.
"She said she couldn't sleep, and the house was leaking. She figured there must be something wrong with the tomb, and water would seep in when it rained, which is why she felt cold."
"Simply burning paper money for her won't do any good; you have to fix the roof for her," Song Ruozhen said frankly.
"But... this mausoleum was just renovated last year, so there shouldn't be this kind of problem."
Lu Minhui found it hard to believe. The Lu family was a prominent family, and the elders in the clan had always made good offerings to them. Last year, the family had even renovated the house. How could such a problem have occurred?
"The princess only needs to send someone to investigate carefully after she returns home to find out."
Song Ruozhen was very confident. Seeing that Lu Minhui still seemed uneasy, she took out a peace charm and handed it over.
"Since Your Highness is worried, please keep this amulet with you. You can rest assured that the child will be safe and sound."
Lu Minhui excitedly accepted the amulet, her face beaming with joy as if she had received a great treasure, and her gaze toward Song Ruozhen grew increasingly gentle.
“Miss Song, you are so thoughtful and considerate. I will have someone deliver this thank-you gift to your residence later.”
"Your Highness, there's no need for such politeness."
Song Ruozhen waved her hand. Lu Minhui was Chu Junting's very close aunt, and she was actually not much older than Chu Junting. She was just a peace charm and nothing to worry about.
“That won’t do. No matter what, I’m an elder, and I can’t take advantage of the younger generation,” Lu Minhui said with a smile.
Chu Junting told Lu Minhui to have someone thoroughly inspect the tomb after she returned to check for any problems before taking his leave with Song Ruozhen.
Seeing the two leave, Lu Minhui didn't bother to talk to the Princess Consort of Xiang anymore and quickly gave the orders.
Not long after, the servant returned.
"Your Highness, after a careful inspection, we found that there is indeed water seepage in the western corner of the tomb, a small, extremely well-hidden line."
If everyone hadn't checked everything so carefully, we wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"Is that really true?"
Lu Minhui's eyes widened, feeling that Song Ruozhen was truly amazing!
Without realizing it, she took out the amulet from her bosom. Thinking of what Song Ruozhen had said about the baby in her womb being born safely, her smile grew even brighter.
"I really shouldn't have believed the rumors before and misunderstood Miss Song. Now it seems that this girl is truly exceptional."
"Quick, get out my treasured jewelry; I need to choose two sets as a thank-you gift!"
……
When Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting arrived at the Zhang family's courtyard, Yun Nianchu looked worried.
Upon seeing Song Ruozhen, her eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly came out, "Ruozhen, Your Highness, you've arrived."
"You look like this... could something have happened?"
Seeing Yun Nianchu's restless appearance, Song Ruozhen's clear eyes showed concern.
Yun Nianchu nodded. "Last night I heard my mother screaming. She kept saying that she was useless to live and that she might as well be dead."
I quickly woke my mother up, and then I realized that it seemed just like the cries in my dream, that I had suicidal thoughts.
"When our family moved out, my mother was perfectly fine, saying she would take good care of my cousin and me. It hasn't been that long, and she's like a completely different person."
Chu Junting's eyes darkened. "It seems that your aunt's condition is more serious."
Song Ruozhen nodded, "The Princess Consort of Xiang is currently only having nightmares, unable to sleep and exhausted, but Auntie... it's quite obvious that they want to kill her."
"Miss Song, after you went to the Prince of Xiang's residence, do you know what the situation is?" Yun Chengze also rushed over.
He had been staying in the house with his aunt, but now that she couldn't be left alone, he was worried that something might go wrong if he wasn't careful. So when he came out, he instructed the nanny to stay by her side.
"My judgment yesterday was correct; someone was behind it all."
Upon hearing this, almost everyone present understood the implication.
Besides Yun Xiaoniang, I'm afraid there's no one else like her.
"Yun Xiaoniang is truly despicable! My mother is already getting a divorce, and if she wants to be Mrs. Yun, she should fight for it herself. How dare she try to take my mother's life?"
Yun Nianchu gritted her teeth in anger. For so many years, she had always disliked Yun Xiaoniang, but she never expected her to be so vicious!
"Let's go, I'll catch the little devil first, and we'll talk about it after Auntie wakes up."
Without hesitation, Song Ruozhen strode into the courtyard. However, upon seeing the thick black mist above the courtyard, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. The situation here was far more serious than that of the Prince of Xiang's residence.
It seems... Miss Yun has gone all out!
Chu Junting couldn't see these clues, but just by observing the changes in Song Ruozhen's expression, it wasn't hard to guess that the situation here was much more serious.
"Is it tricky?" Chu Junting asked with concern.
“They’re vengeful ghosts.” Song Ruozhen raised her eyebrows slightly, a confident smile playing on her lips. “Although they’re well hidden, as long as I’m here, I’ll definitely be able to find them.”
