Chapter 1219: 1219 Chapter 1219: 1219 “Divine Doctor, my servant and the carriage are outside the door.

May I let the servant bring the carriage in?”

“Please do,” Su Qingyue said with ill intent.

“However, there’s only one side room cleaned up for staying; if you want to stay, you’ll need to tidy it up yourself.

Also, there are no spare beddings.

Considering it’s late at night, it’s unlikely any store selling beddings would still be open.

You’ll need to figure it out on your own.”

Having said that, she headed toward the side room.

Enthralled, Gao Shen stole a glance at her retreating figure, which elicited a sneer from Xiao Yuchuan.

“Stop looking!”

“Brother Xiao, are you thinking of hitting me?” Gao Shen quickly waved his hands.

“I, for one, do not fight…”

“It’s not that.

This residence is home to a red-dressed resentful female ghost who died under your family’s roof.

Now that you have returned, that resentful ghost just might seek to claim your life.” Xiao Yuchuan patted his shoulder.

“You’d better pray for your own luck.”

Without paying him any further attention, he followed his wife’s steps.

Gao Shen stood there, his face drained of color.

Although a lamp was lit in the side room nearby, the whole courtyard was pitch black.

As the cold wind blew, he couldn’t help shivering.

“Yo-youngaEUR| Young MasteraEUR|” Gao Jia’s trembling voice came from outside the courtyard wall.

“Are youaEUR| are you there inside?”

“Speak properly, why are you shaking!”

“I’m freezing.”

“Lead the carriage to the front yard; I’ll go to the front yard to open the door for you!” Heart filled with gloom, he made his way to the front yard.

“I, Gao Shen, am supposed to be a young master born with a golden soup spoon in my mouth, yet here I am, reduced to opening a door for a servant!”

He continued his complaints as he walked to the front yard, passing several buildings, and then he was completely out of sight.

There was at least the light from the lamp in the side room in the backyard.

The front yard, however, was engulfed in darkness.

Fortunately, the ground was covered in snow, which reflected a bit of light.

“HeheheheheaEUR|” An eerie laugh of a woman echoed throughout the yard.

Gao Shen halted mid-step, an icy chill running down his spine.

Being faint-hearted, he dared not look around randomly, and with hurried steps, he ran to open the main gate of the mansion in the front yard.

Instead of a servant with a carriage, he was greeted by the sight of a red-dressed female ghost, with a pale face and menacing features, and two green and sharp claws.

“Ah!” He screamed in terror and turned to run away.

“Young Master, don’t run!” Gao Jia, driving the carriage, came over and was baffled by his master’s frantic escape as if his behind was on fire.

“A ghost!” Gao Shen dashed toward the backyard, reaching the door of the room lit by the lamp, and he pounded fiercely on the door.

“Open up!

There’s a ghost!”

Xiao Yuchuan opened the door impatiently.

“What are you screaming about!”

“XiaoaEUR| Brother XiaoaEUR| there’saEUR| there’s a ghost!” gasped Gao Shen, out of breath.

“Didn’t I tell you this house had a ghost?

What’s with the fuss?”

“I’maEUR| I’m scaredaEUR|” Gao Shen lunged into Xiao Yuchuan’s arms and clung to him tightly.

“Brother Xiao, pleaseaEUR| stay with me tonight…”

Meanwhile, Su Qingyue was sitting at a table inside the room, holding a cup of hot tea.

“If my husband keeps you company, what about me?”

Gao Shen gave a suggestive smile.

“If the Divine Doctor is willing to keep me company, that works too.”

“Get lost!” Xiao Yuchuan pushed him away forcefully, disgustedly brushing off his clothes.

“Don’t just hug me out of nowhere in the future.”

“Brother Xiao, I was just scaredaEUR|” He still looked utterly terrified.

“I really saw a ghost…”

With a light chuckle, Su Qingyue said, “You came at the perfect time.

You’re from the Gao Family, and the ghost is your Gao Family’s ghost.

Speaking of which, those dead ghosts were your father’s concubines, your stepmothers no less.

They’ll take ‘good care’ of you.”
