Chapter 134 Scare yourself
The old lady snorted coldly, "There's no smoke without fire. Could it be that Huiyi would deliberately frame her? I heard the noise last night, and what Huiyi said is true."
Song Dai glanced in Qian's direction and scoffed, "Who knows if she staged this all on her own, just to slander Xiaoxiao today."
Qian was unhappy when she heard this. "Slander? Why would I slander her? She went out with Yu'an yesterday and didn't come back with him. What was she doing during this time? She must have been preparing something scary to scare me at night."
As she spoke, she looked at Shi Xiaoxiao and said, "Second Miss, you came back a step later than Yu'an on purpose just to prepare something to scare people. You've gone too far this time. I've forgiven all your mistakes before, but this time I have to teach you a lesson, otherwise, you'll never learn your lesson."
This Qian wanted to convict her just like that.
It's not that easy.
Shi Xiaoxiao looked at her with a half-smile, "Since you said I pretended to be a ghost to scare you, then tell me how I scared you. There are so many secret guards guarding your courtyard. Did I grow wings and fly in?"
After hearing this, Qian fell speechless.
Everyone in the mansion knew that there were secret guards guarding her yard, and now they said that Shi Xiaoxiao was pretending to be a ghost to scare her.
Unless Shi Xiaoxiao can fly, there is no way to get into her yard.
Thinking of the ghost's ability to fly and hide last night, she felt uneasy.
So what was it that scared her last night? Could it be a real ghost?
Last night she thought Shi Xiaoxiao had died and turned into a ghost, but Shi Xiaoxiao was clearly still alive, so she thought Shi Xiaoxiao was deliberately pretending to be a ghost to scare her.
Now that I think about it, Shi Xiaoxiao doesn’t seem to be that capable.
So, there really was a ghost last night!
Seeing that Qian Shi didn't say anything, Shi Xiaoxiao continued, "Since the Madam was frightened to death, the ghost must be very terrifying. To be able to sneak into the Madam's yard, it must have extraordinary abilities.
Xiaoxiao is a weak woman who can neither fly nor clone herself. How could she hide from the secret guards in the lady's courtyard and sneak away to scare the lady?
In my opinion, it's just a hallucination that the Madam created, scaring herself, or maybe she did something bad and is feeling uneasy.
Shi Xiaoxiao's words made a lot of sense. Qian's eyes rolled around for a long time and she hesitated for a long time before she uttered a word.
"Who knows if this is a master you hired from somewhere? Otherwise, how do you explain why you came back later than Yu'an?"
Shi Xiaoxiao sneered, "I did come back later than Big Brother, but it was because we were assassinated. Big Brother and I ran separately and got rid of the assassin. I ran far, so I came back a little late. I didn't expect that the First Lady would misunderstand me."
When Song Dai heard that Xiaoxiao was assassinated, she was immediately shocked. "Xiaoxiao, were you assassinated? Are you injured?"
Shi Xiaoxiao gave Song Dai a reassuring look.
"Don't worry, Mom. Xiaoxiao isn't hurt. She ran fast and got rid of them by making many detours."
"How come you won't tell me anything that happens, kid?"
Shi Xiaoxiao chuckled, "I wasn't injured anyway, so I didn't want to make Mom worry."
When Shi Yuan heard Shi Xiaoxiao's words, his eyes moved slightly.
Considering the message Shi Xiaoxiao conveyed to him, perhaps he guessed what Shi Xiaoxiao did last night.
Qian rolled her eyes and looked at Shi Xiaoxiao in confusion.
She didn't believe what Shi Xiaoxiao said about running fast, but Shi Xiaoxiao was indeed standing here well.
She cursed in her heart, not knowing what those people did. They took her money but couldn't even solve the problem of a little girl.
A bunch of useless things.
Shi Xiaoxiao turned to look at Qian, a look of deep doubt in her eyes.
"It's just that Xiaoxiao is very curious. The Madam is quite well-informed. I came back a little late, but you already know everything. Why was the Madam scared by a ghost the night I was assassinated? She insisted that the ghost was me and fainted from fright. Did the Madam do something bad that made her so scared?"
She smiled brightly and said, "Don't think too much, Madam. Xiaoxiao is just expressing her doubts. It's just a casual remark."
Qian's heart trembled, and she looked at Shi Xiaoxiao in surprise and suspicion.
"What do you mean by that? Do you still suspect that I hired those killers?"
"Xiaoxiao didn't say that. It's just that the Madam was frightened when she saw Xiaoxiao this morning. She even asked me if I was a human or a ghost. Did the Madam think I was dead and turned into a ghost to scare you? Why would you have such an idea? It's really curious!"
Qian flatly denied it. "Don't talk nonsense. It's just that the ghost spoke last night with your voice, so I thought you were pretending to be a ghost to scare me. Since it wasn't you, then someone must have deliberately wanted to scare me and then framed you. Maybe we've all been fooled."
She anxiously tried to stop Shi Xiaoxiao from speaking.
But she couldn't let Shi Xiaoxiao continue talking. She was not sure if Shi Xiaoxiao knew something from the killer.
That's why they pointed at her all the time, even though the killers promised not to leak the buyer's information.
Now that Shi Xiaoxiao is back alive, she has to rethink things.
If Shi Xiaoxiao really found out from the killer that she had bribed the killer to kill her, and she told Shi Yuan, she would suffer the consequences.
Shi Xiaoxiao lowered her head and smiled, "That's right, there are no ghosts in this world. It's either someone pretending to be someone else, or it's just your own hallucination. But the eldest lady didn't even investigate the matter thoroughly before complaining to Grandmother, and she scolded me for no reason. Xiaoxiao feels very wronged."
Qian's mouth twitched, and disgust flashed in her eyes. "Then I misunderstood you. Please forgive me, Second Miss. I was really scared last night, so I was suspicious. I didn't mean to cause trouble for you."
Qian gritted her teeth in frustration.
She just didn't understand. She had planned everything out clearly, but in the end, she was led astray by Shi Xiaoxiao's words.
He even set her on fire, forcing her to give up the plan she had been thinking about for a long time.
It seemed that any problem would be solved by Shi Xiaoxiao, and she would not be able to find any fault with Shi Xiaoxiao.
It's really a ghost!
She is just a little girl, but she is always so lucky.
Shi Xiaoxiao looked at Qian's clenched fists under her sleeves.
Laughed silently.
This Qian couldn't speak clearly, his logic was unclear, and he got confused after just a few words.
He is really brainless. In this Prime Minister's Mansion, he relies entirely on the old lady to put pressure on Shi Yuan to consolidate his position.
You're overestimating your own abilities and want to deal with her!
He thought he had found a good backer, and he couldn't even tell who was the most powerful person in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although the old lady is Shi Yuan's mother, Shi Yuan is no longer someone the old lady can easily control.
Just like the matter of promoting Song Dai to be a co-wife, it was useless for the old lady to object.
