Mu Yi was stunned by what he saw from behind. This Su Mingyu was so bold in front of the prince.
The most astonishing thing was that after being spoken to like that, the prince not only didn't get angry but even showed a faint smile. How terrifying was this? Was this still the prince he knew?
Zhizhu also scratched her head in confusion. Miss clearly didn't like Prince Ruixian before. Why did she seem like a different person today? Although they still bickered, her tone had a hint of coquetry.
That night, taking advantage of the dark and windy night, Su Mingyu quietly sneaked into the Su Mansion.
Su Yueyue was soaking in a barrel full of rose petals, enjoying the nourishment of the hot water. In the past two days, the King of Yu had come to pick her up every day to relax. Moreover, she had finally gotten rid of that detestable Su Mingyu. She had never felt so elated.
Touching the whip marks on her back, Su Yueyue gritted her teeth in anger. It was a pity that she hadn't found Su Mingyu's body, which took away a bit of her fun. She really regretted not seeing Su Mingyu's face scratched.
Su Yueyue clenched her fists, her eyes filled with hatred. "Su Mingyu! You dared to oppose me! This is your fate!"
Just as her voice faded, the candlelight in the room suddenly flickered.
Su Yueyue felt a sudden chill down her spine for no reason.
She frowned nervously and carefully surveyed her surroundings, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
Just as she let out a sigh of relief, thinking she had been imagining things, a gust of cold wind came out of nowhere and blew out all the candles in the room in an instant, even those in the candle holders.
Suddenly plunged into darkness, Su Yueyue's delicate face turned deathly pale with fear. "Someone! Xiaocui!"
With a "bang", the door was suddenly kicked open, and a slender figure rushed in nervously. "Miss, what's wrong?"
Su Yueyue's forehead was sweating nervously. "Xiaocui, quickly light the candles."
Xiaocui responded and then turned around. With a soft click of the flint, a flame lit up.
In the pitch - black night, it was particularly conspicuous.
Seeing the candles light up, Su Yueyue finally let out a sigh of relief. "Xiaocui, were you always at the door? How did you come so quickly..."
"Ah!!!"
Su Yueyue's eyes widened in horror, her mouth gaping so wide that it could fit an egg. Her terrified face was as white as a sheet. "Ah!!!"
"Ghost!"
Xiaocui was startled by her scream. "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Su Yueyue splashed water at Xiaocui desperately. "Get out! Get away from me!"
Xiaocui deftly dodged the water. In her hand was a white candle, and the white flame at the candlewick illuminated her terrifying face clearly.
She had a hideous gaping mouth with almost no lower jaw, only a row of terrifying white teeth chattering.
What was most terrifying were Xiaocui's eyes. They were pitch - black, seemingly without any white, just an endless expanse of darkness.
Xiaocui was getting closer and closer to Su Yueyue in the bathtub, and her mouth kept mechanically repeating the previous question. "Miss, what's wrong? Miss, what's wrong? Miss, what's wrong?"
The clear voice, accompanied by the chattering of teeth, made Su Yueyue scream hysterically. "Don't come near! Stay away!!"
Seeing Xiaocui getting closer, Su Yueyue was so scared that her whole body trembled. She grabbed the edge of the bathtub desperately and managed to climb out with all her strength.
She didn't have time to find her clothes. She just grabbed whatever she could and wrapped herself in it.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Xiaocui's voice was still approaching, and Su Yueyue was already a complete mess from fear.
But through the white light of the candle, Su Yueyue noticed something strange. "No... no... You... You're not Xiaocui! Xiaocui isn't this tall! Who are you?"
"I... I'm Xiaocui." A clear voice sounded.
The candlelight in the room suddenly brightened.
But the brighter the light, the more terrified Su Yueyue became.
She saw Xiaocui's face suddenly lose its features and start to melt slowly like a candle.
Su Yueyue was shaking like a leaf. For some reason, she felt that this voice was a bit familiar.
Suddenly, she remembered that yesterday she had accidentally heard the maids whispering behind her back that they had met Zhizhu, and Zhizhu insisted that Su Mingyu wasn't dead.
Could it be that Su Mingyu was really alive? So she was deliberately pretending to be a ghost to scare her?
Thinking of this, Su Yueyue grew a bit bolder. "You! You're Su Mingyu?!"
She suddenly stood up, grabbed the scissors beside her, and pointed it at the "Xiaocui" in front of her. "Su Mingyu! You're really not dead?"
But unexpectedly, the "Xiaocui" let out a low laugh, which gradually grew louder and finally turned into a wild laugh.
"Su Yueyue, take a good look. Do I look alive?"
As the "Xiaocui" got closer, Su Yueyue clearly saw Su Mingyu's pale face.
Even her lips were so pale, and only her eyes were pitch - black, looking extremely terrifying.
Su Yueyue trembled all over in fear. She picked up the scissors and stabbed at Su Mingyu. "Whether you're a human or a ghost! I'm going to kill you!"
Su Mingyu floated back about a meter away. She grinned at Su Yueyue, and tears of blood flowed from her eyes. "My dear sister, look at me. I'm your elder sister~"
Su Yueyue was so scared out of her wits by Su Mingyu's inhuman speed that she was almost crazy.
She didn't even dare to look at her. She just closed her eyes and stabbed blindly. "Get out! Get out! I don't care who you are! Get out!"
Su Mingyu floated gently and came in front of Su Yueyue again. She stroked Su Yueyue's face with her wet sleeve, and her voice became very gentle. "What are you afraid of? Is my death related to you?"
"No, no, no! You were shot to death by thieves. It has nothing to do with me!"
Su Yueyue shook her head like a rattle. She was so scared that she curled up in the corner and didn't dare to move at all. "Su Ming... Sister... Elder sister, I know you died unjustly. I will definitely help you find the murderer who killed you! Please... don't hurt me."
Su Mingyu let out a soft laugh. "The murderer? Weren't those people you hired to kill me?"
"No, no, no! It wasn't me!" Su Yueyue's voice was hoarse from denial.
"Sister, our relationship... is so good. How could I... possibly kill you..."
Before Su Yueyue could finish her sentence, Su Mingyu threw out a cloth bag like a magic trick.
As the cloth bag hit the ground, a bloody head rolled out of it.
Su Yueyue covered her head in horror and screamed. "Ah!!! I... I didn't mean to, sister... Please... please spare me!
"I... I just wanted to scare you. I didn't expect you to really die!"
