Chapter 576: Chapter 576: The House is Haunted

"If you truly wish to bestow a gift upon me, grant your Imperial Concubine a child," Wenren Pingting said indifferently.

Yuwen Luanfei, who had just been deeply affectionate, suddenly froze.

After a while, he slowly said,

"Uh... It’s not that I don’t want to give one, but I am undergoing treatment. As soon as I am cured, I will surely do so."

Wenren Pingting slightly curled her lips, said nothing, and quietly curtsied before leaving.

Soon, only Yuwen Luanfei was left in the study.

He looked around the empty room with a plaintive sigh, "Ah!"

But in an instant, the wistfulness on his face disappeared, and he joyfully went to carve his new favorite, the small bamboo plant.

The guard at the door twitched an eyebrow, able only to silently fulfill their heartless master’s wish to secure the gate, making sure the Princess Consort and the Side Consorts from the backyard did not see.

...

Returning to the topic of Bai Junjun, who was on her way home.

She led her rewards in a grand procession away from the Prince’s Mansion.

Li Wenli had already arrived at the Bai Residence much earlier.

The entrance of what was once one of the top-ranked properties in the Old Imperial Capital was now overgrown with weeds.

The gate was merely left ajar, and the plaque hung askew.

With no repaint in three years, the plaque had aged badly, its words "Bai Residence" barely legible, looking rather pitiful.

They stopped the horse carriage at the front and were about to enter when a young voice called out.

"Hey, are you going inside?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Chan looked puzzled and saw a group of children at the end of the alley.

"I’m telling you, this place is haunted, be careful when you go in."

"Haunted? What do you mean?" Xiao Chan, as the diplomat of the Seven-Person Team, naturally went over.

Ever since they joined forces with the young master, they had neither worries for food nor a shortage of candied sugar.

At that moment, Xiao Chan took out some candied sugar and broke off a piece for each of the children.

The children’s eyes lit up at the sight of the candied sugar, and after receiving it, they began talking non-stop.

"My mother said that three years ago, a family of nobles lived here, but during the rebellion, they were all killed by the insurgents, over three hundred lives, not a single survivor."

"Every time it’s windy and rainy, this house emits cries and howls like ghosts and wolves, we’ve all heard them."

Saying this, the children solemnly nodded their heads, fear evident in their eyes.

"Later, some daredevils went in to explore, but not long after entering, they saw a hanged ghost. The man was so frightened that he fainted, and didn’t wake up until the next day. He fell seriously ill afterward and never dared to come here again."

"I heard there’s also a black cat living here, that it’s a transformed ghost. Once you lock eyes with it, you’ll die soon after, so we don’t dare to play here."

"Be careful if you’re going in."

"Be careful of the hanged ghost."

"No, no, be careful of the black cat, it’s scarier."

The children chattered ceaselessly, and Li Wenli heard everything clearly.

So-called stormy nights filled with ghostly cries and howls, what place doesn’t howl in the wind?

It was all just fitting tales to the situation.

As for the hanged ghost... it’s not unusual for broken fabrics in a house to be misleading, and the black cat, well, that’s even easier to explain. Not to mention this, even snakes, insects, rats, and ants are normal, right?

He curled his lips, dismissing the children’s words as insignificant.

However, seeing Bai Sasa with a complicated expression, as if she was taking the children’s words to heart,

he couldn’t help but pat Sasa’s head: "Let’s go, let’s go home and have a look."

Li Wenli’s words immediately stabilized Bai Sasa’s wavering heart.

How could Brother Wenli see her worries? Bai Sasa was astonished.

Xiao Yu was already sensible when they had to flee, so her impressions of this place were limited.
