Shrugging, Zac didn't answer.
Putting her arm on his shoulder, Essie said with a playful smile, "Icy guy, to be honest, were you afraid at that time?"
Zac sneered, "Haven't you heard that people are afraid of ghosts while ghosts are afraid of people even more? For me, I did not have the slightest fear in my heart. So ghosts are afraid of me. "
That's right. Essie thought to herself, 'He is a devil. Even ghosts have to kneel down and submit to him when they see him. How dare she touch him?'
However, Jim was obviously the same as him, one of the hooligans. How dare she touch him?
Was it because he was the one who let the cat in?
"Do you really think that Jim has been haunted?"
"I don't know. But what happened to him at that time. Even he himself couldn't figure it out. He said he had nightmares and dreamed that something was chasing him. He kept running and fighting with that thing, but he couldn't wake up anyway. "
Zac looked out of the window at the ghost yard. There was no fear on his face, but he was very confused. This had always been an unsolved mystery in his heart.
Looking at his expression, Essie felt more scared.
To be honest, so far, no one dared to jump to a conclusion whether there was a ghost in the world or not.
There was a distant relative of the Yi family who was a professor of chemistry in a famous
university in America. But he believed in the soul more than anyone else. He also said that the soul study was actually a kind of science.
"Icy guy, what do you think the relationship between the ghost in red clothes and your family?" she asked.
There were many versions of the legend about the ghost in red clothes in the Rong Mansion.
Some people said that she was the mistress of one of the sons of the Rong family and was killed by the wife. She was resentful and refused to be reincarnated, causing chaos in the mansion and full of resentment.
Some people boldly guessed that the fierce ghost in red was the daughter of a concubine in the Rong Mansion. She married a poor boy regardless of her family's objection. However, the poor boy was just greedy for wealth, not true love for the daughter of the Rong family. He even found another mistress outside. When the daughter of the Rong family knew it, she killed herself angrily.
In a word, there were countless versions of the story. Everyone's brain was wide open, and the story they made up was so bizarre and mysterious.
However, they all had several common features, they died in red, and the day they died was exactly the time of blood moon, which was also the night of total lunar eclipse.
According to what Zac and Jim had seen, the ghost in red was not only dressed in red before her death, but also in her wedding dress. Did she die on their wedding night?
While she was thinking, Zac said in a low voice, "You are infected by Ivy. And you are more and more curious."
"After all, I'm the daughter-in-law of the family. It's strange that there is such a strange thing in the Rong Mansion. It's strange that I'm not curious." Essie pouted again.
Zac stroked her head and said, "Honey, remember what I said. Curiosity Kills the cat. Don't get involved in anything that shouldn't be your concern."
With a flattering smile, Essie reached out her hand and said, "Honey, let's have a private talk. It's our secret."
Zac glanced at her coldly and sharply, "don't you plan to tell that little girl, Ivy?"
With an embarrassed look on her face, Essie thought, 'He has found out all the secrets. Sure enough, I can't hide anything from him.'
"I won't tell her what you see. I'll tell her about Jim."
"It's good that you know what you are doing." Zac rubbed her nose dotingly.
She smiled. She always knew what to do. Since they had said that they didn't see anything in the yard. If she told Ivy everything, Ivy might have spread it everywhere. At that time, the elders of the Rong family would know that they were lying. Maybe they would hold them accountable for what they did before.
On the second day, she made an appointment with Ivy in a pavilion in the garden.
"Sister in law, have you got it?" Ivy asked in a hurry, with expectations in her eyes.
