As night fell, Su Changle's carriage drove slowly outside the Pei Mansion.

Azhu said in a deep voice: "Princess Princess, we are here."

Su Changle did not speak or get out of the car. She only raised her hand to open the car window and looked at the dilapidated car outside. It even tilted to the side and read the word "Pei Mansion" that was crumbling.

Su Changle looked at those two words and made no move. Neither the coachman nor Ah Zhu made a sound.

The night in early spring was quiet and cool. Ever since the Pei Mansion was ransacked and exiled, the entire Pei Mansion had become an empty house. At first, everyone just thought that the house was unlucky, but later on, rumors came from nowhere at night.

The house that was originally just a bit ominous actually became known as a haunted house.

So even during the day, there are very few pedestrians passing by.

Pei Mansion is already a bit remote, and no one will come here at this time.

Except for those who are willing.

The setting sun gradually sets, and the surrounding darkness begins to sink. Jinling is prosperous, and it is rare to see such a desolate place. At this time, the lights elsewhere have been lit before nightfall.

Feasting on lights, endless extravagance.

The current Pei Mansion is incompatible with the entire Jinling, as if it is a separate space isolated from this world.

The last ray of sunset slipped from the slanted plaque, and then the entire Pei Mansion fell into darkness.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the narrator Ah Zhu shivered, and she whispered: "Princess, be careful of the wind."

Su Changle kept looking at the door of Pei Mansion in front of her. She heard what Ah Zhu said but did not respond.

She just kept waiting for the movement at the door, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see anyone entering Pei's house.

Su Changle frowned slightly, raised her hand to close the window, lifted her skirt and got out of the carriage: "Since you don't go through the front door, then I, the princess, will go in and catch you."

Ah Zhu hurriedly followed Su Changle out of the carriage and followed behind Su Changle.

Although it is known that there is someone protecting the princess in the dark, Pei Mansion has been uninhabited for a long time. Now as soon as you approach the door, you can feel the cold wind blowing from inside.

Azhu clenched her fists nervously.

I saw Su Changle holding up her skirt and walking step by step to the door of Pei Mansion. She reached out and pushed open the Pei Mansion, which had no seal or even lock.

"Squeak——"

After a hoarse voice, the door of Pei's mansion opened...

--

"Young master, you are joking. I came with the princess that day and accidentally overheard the two of you talking. Besides..." Jiang Shen looked at Lin Huaichuan in front of him with a contemptuous smile on his lips, "If I want to know

What, why come here to eavesdrop, just ask the princess directly, I don’t think she will tell me."

"Oh, Jiang Shen, you really overestimate yourself."

Lin Huaichuan called Jiang Shen over today and had no intention of playing riddles with him.

What's more, they both knew where Su Changle had gone today, so there was no need to hide anything from each other.

Only that fool Su Changle would think that she had hidden it from everyone.

"If she really told you, you wouldn't be here today, and..." Lin Huaichuan raised his head and looked straight at Jiang Shen, "If you were really sincere about her, you wouldn't be here today either.

.”

Lin Huaichuan smiled and said: "Jiang Shen, since you heard our conversation that day, you naturally know where Su Changle is now."

Jiang Shen smiled and said nothing.

He knew it all along and had no intention of hiding it. And he also wanted to know what Lin Huaichuan would say.

He was a little curious about the little girl.

In fact, this shouldn't happen. He shouldn't be curious about anyone. This feeling is very strange, even stranger than the chaotic and disorderly world he sees now.

But he still wanted to know.

Lin Huaichuan put down his sword and poured a cup of tea for the two of them. He took a sip and then said angrily: "If you have nothing to do, just sit down. I think this will be a long conversation, and the princess won't be like that tonight."

Come back early."

"That's it, Mr. Huaichuan is being disturbed over there."

Jiang Shen sat opposite Lin Huaichuan and watched Lin Huaichuan slowly speak after drinking a cup of tea: "Since you know that she went to Pei Mansion tonight, you must have heard of a name..."

Lin Huaichuan originally had an indifferent face, but when he mentioned the name, he suddenly paused and pronounced it as if he was unfamiliar with it.

He hasn't mentioned this name to anyone except Su Changle for a long time.

"His name was Pei Du. Everyone knows that he was convicted because of his father and was eventually killed at the hands of the princess."

Lin Huaichuan said slowly: "But Su Changle, she really liked Pei Du before, and even up to now, she only likes Pei Du."

Lin Huaichuan suddenly fixed his eyes on Jiang Shen's face and scanned his eyebrows carefully: "Even if she killed him with her own hands in the end."

--

It was a long night and the stars were dim. The moonlight shining on the human world was so bright that no stars could be seen at all.

Su Changle walked in front, and the embroidered shoes under his feet made a creaking sound as he walked. There were dead branches and leaves along the way. After years of accumulation, these dead branches and leaves have become a thick layer. After the snow in winter,

Melt, rotting these things into soil, with some only stems and leaves left, and bursts of cold wind passing by their skirts.

"Princess Princess..."

Ah Zhu was a little scared, so she tightly grabbed Su Changle's sleeve and took a few steps forward to walk side by side with Su Changle.

The two little girls walked forward hand in hand, and Azhu asked in a low voice: "Princess, do you know the way?"

Su Changle's whole face turned pale, her lips trembled, and even her words seemed to be cold: "I know, I am very familiar with this journey."

After all, she had made many demerits when she was little.

At this time, another gust of wind blew by, and the crow flying out of nowhere heard the sound, flew away quickly, and called "quack" twice more.

"Princess...Princess, I'm afraid." Ah Zhu's voice trembled, and she felt that her body was no longer obeying her orders and was shaking.

She carefully observed her surroundings: "Princess Princess, do you think this house is really unclean? After all, Master Pei's case was very strange at the time, and there were many people implicated. What if they were all alone?

But what if we all come here?"

The more A-Zhu thought about it, the more scared she became, and in the end she was afraid to go forward.

The lantern she was holding was also swaying. The wind blew the lantern around, and even the candlelight inside flickered.

The entire Pei Mansion was empty, with only the moonlight and the lanterns in their hands lighting up the road ahead.

"It's okay. There are secret guards around, so there won't be any danger." Su Changle advised Ah Zhu. She couldn't see her face now, otherwise she would be frightened by his own face.

"Besides, if there is really something dirty, I would like to ask them if they know about the original case of the Pei Mansion. I wonder if they can give me some advice at that time."

The two little girls were still walking forward slowly. Pei's mansion was not big. Su Changle remembered that after bypassing Jinghu Lake at the back, there was a small three-story building in the southeast corner.

Su Changle has carried that road countless times before. Even after so many years, she will never forget it and will definitely find that place.

They walked forward, and from time to time some movement from the side would make them startle and scream in low voices. After a short distance, they walked for a long time.

Su Changle felt that his hair was standing on end, not to mention the fine hairs on his body.

Ah Zhu also bit her lips tightly and forced herself to move forward. In the end, she couldn't hold on any longer, so she found some words to mutter: "Princess, it's really terrible. If there is a next time,

Yes, the princess should ask Mr. Huaichuan to accompany the princess, at least it will make her more courageous..."

Su Changle was helpless: she really wanted to find Lin Huaichuan to accompany her that day, but she didn't know that the two of them actually quarreled. In the end, Lin Huaichuan even kicked them out, and she couldn't say anything.

What's more, he didn't agree with going to investigate the Pei Mansion in the first place.

"When you get out, this princess will take you to eat delicious food..." Su Changle coaxed.

"That……"

"Shh!"

Azhu wanted to say something more, but Su Changle covered her mouth.

The two people's footsteps stopped in place. Su Changle suddenly looked up and saw the quiet lake in her memory. The small building was still in the southeast corner.
