I just want to be a princess, no, you want to be a queen

Chapter 186: Human or ghost

Lu Mingyuan was a little worried: "Two little girls who haven't even read a book may not be able to do it!"

The maid of a mistress of a mansion not only has to serve the mistress, but also has to manage the servants and handle the interpersonal relationships among the various mansions. It is not an easy job.

At the beginning, Lu Mingyuan wanted Qin Xin to go to the palace with his sister, but his sister refused.

Lu Mingyang looked up and asked in confusion, "Sister, how do you know they haven't been to school?"

"If their families had enough money to support their education, they could still be sold to brothels!"

Lu Mingyuan poked his sister's head and suggested, "If you want to have some useful confidants, Madam Fang can be the one. She was a maidservant by Grandmother's side. After Grandmother passed away, she was sent back to her hometown to retire. I'll send someone to borrow her back. In addition, you can pick a few smart ones in the mansion."

"No need to bother!" Lu Mingyang took her eldest sister's arm and said coquettishly, "They learned a few words in the opera troupe. As long as they follow the two sisters and study hard, there will be no problem."

Lu Mingyuan asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

How could he tell? Lu Mingyang felt guilty: "No way!"

"Okay!" Seeing his sister insist, Lu Mingyuan had no choice but to agree.

"Miss, Fourth Miss, it's time for dinner." Zhuxin set the table and came over to invite people.

Qin Xin stood in the yard and scolded the little maid. The little maid held the dinner plate in her hands and folded it in front of her, lowered her head and cried.

Lu Mingyuan sat down and saw this scene. He asked Zhuxin to call the two people into the house and asked, "What's going on?"

Qin Xin said, "Young lady, you are going to swear brotherhood with the old marquis tomorrow. I told her to watch the kitchen prepare the offerings, but she forgot one thing: the Third Young Master's favorite crispy fish cakes. The fish market is closed now, so you can't even buy fish, let alone cook them."

The little maid said anxiously: "Miss, I really gave them orders."

"Then why is it not included in the offerings sent!" Qin Xin packed her things in advance when she was going to worship early the next morning, but she unexpectedly found that one thing was missing.

Lu Mingyuan knew that when Qin Xin encountered something she cared about, she would become extremely concerned and lose her composure. Seeing that the little maid didn't seem to be lying, she said, "Just ask the kitchen staff."

The kitchen staff rushed over and stood outside the door, saying, "My Lord, the chef who makes the crispy fish cakes went home today for something, so they made them last night. Were there no crispy fish cakes among the offerings?"

The person who counts the dishes will cover the bowls after counting and send them to the delivery place. The person who delivers the dishes does not know what the dishes are.

The chef thought for a moment and said with certainty, "Then it's gone."

"Why not?" Qin Xin couldn't stand seeing them blaming each other. "How could the crispy fish cake just run away?"

"My Lord!" The head chef trembled with fear as he spoke of this. "Food has been missing from the kitchen these past few days. We first thought it was a stray cat, but even though we sealed the food well, it still went missing. Then we thought it was a thief, but we couldn't understand why the thief only stole cheap food like pancakes, and why he came every night to steal, until we saw a ghost."

Qin Xin angrily scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about."

It was dark, and the wind was howling. The chef shuddered and mustered up the courage to argue.

"Miss Qin Xin, it's true. The ghost made no sound, just floated around and disappeared in a flash. What else could it be but a ghost? Furthermore, judging by the ghost's appetite and favorite foods, everyone says it means the Third Young Master has returned."

"You're talking nonsense!" Qin Xin was so angry that she went forward to hit someone, but Lu Mingyuan stopped her.

In the dead of night, Lu Mingyang took Lu Mingyuan's hand and pulled her back: "Eldest sister, are you really going?"

"I have to find out who's playing tricks on me." Lu Mingyuan looked at his sister's shrinking expression and said with a smile, "If you're scared, go back to your room."

"I'm not afraid!" Lu Mingyang pushed his elder sister forward, muttering "Hurry up and obey the order."

The kitchen was completely silent. Because of the "ghost," the servants who were supposed to be on night watch stayed away. The two of them hid deep in the kitchen, waiting until everyone fell asleep, and then they saw the "ghost."

The ghost's shadow was imprinted on the wall, slowly moving towards the door without a sound. The door swung open, and the ghost stepped into the kitchen, heading straight for the steamer with ease.

Lu Mingyang silently grabbed the pottery jar on the kitchen shelf. Suddenly, the ghost stopped moving, turned his head to look at the kitchen shelf, and walked away sideways.

"Stop!" Lu Mingyang threw the clay pot and slammed the person next to him who had no reaction.

The ghost dodged sideways and flew out the window. Lu Mingyuan flew out and saw a black shadow disappear from the wall. When Lu Mingyang chased out, he could no longer see the black shadow and said anxiously: "Eldest sister, why are you slower than me!"

Lu Mingyuan stared at the wall without moving: "Yang'er, is it a human?"

"Of course it's a human!"

Before Lu Mingyang finished speaking, his wrist tightened. Lu Mingyuan turned his head and looked directly at his sister: "I feel that figure is Aze!"

Aze, isn’t that the third brother who has passed away?

Lu Mingyang was talking behind his back, "Eldest sister, you just heard about the crispy fish cakes and you're overthinking it."

"Didn't you say that was a human?"

Lu Mingyang: “…”

"We didn't move, how could he have noticed someone? If it wasn't Aze, who else could it be!"

All the way back to Xunyang Pavilion, my eldest sister's light words floated in my head, gradually weaving into a terrifying scene: a lonely ghost found its way home...

"Ah, ghost!!!"

A black shadow appeared in front of him, and Lu Mingyang swung his fists and hit it.

"Yangyang, what's wrong with you!" Chu Mingzheng directly held her hands and held them in his arms.

Lu Mingyang came to his senses and was so angry that he hit someone, "Why didn't you say anything?"

Chu Mingzheng picked up Lu Mingyang and sat him on the bed. He asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so scared?"

Lu Mingyang held onto Chu Mingzheng tightly, told him what had just happened, and asked him to verify: "Do you think it's a human or a ghost?"

Chu Mingzheng asked with a smile: "Didn't you say it was a human?"

"But my eldest sister said it was the third brother, she was sure of it."

"And you're not sure?"

Chu Mingzheng smiled and let go of the little girl in his arms and stood up. Lu Mingyang grabbed his hand in fear.

"Can you please not leave tonight?" His eyes were filled with panic.

Chu Mingzheng took the little hand that was trying to keep her and put it on the jade belt around her waist, "Then, please undress, madam."

In fact, he had no intention of leaving, but he didn't want to say it now.

With the evil spirit, the little girl can get whatever she wants. She is as well-behaved as she can be. The dependence in her eyes makes the man enjoy it endlessly. When the love reaches the deepest level, he whispers softly in her ear: "I am here, don't be afraid, Yangyang."

Soon, everything will come to light.
