After Gu Nuo’er appeared, most of the servants from the Xie Manor looked at her from time to time.

It was because the little princess was really too good-looking.

Her soft black hair was neatly braided, and her watery eyes seemed to be able to speak. She looked at everyone with watery eyes.

Her nose was straight and cute, and her red lips were as delicate as peach petals.

Back then, Noble Consort Qiao was known as the number one beauty in the capital, but the princess looked even more beautiful than her mother.

The child was like an ice sculpture and had a lively expression, looking around like the picture of a child in a New Year painting.

From the moment Gu Nuo’er entered the Xie Manor, she had been looking around.

There was nothing suspicious.

However, Xie Xingli followed beside her and asked carefully, “Your Highness, how is it? Is this subject’s humble abode covered in dark clouds…”

Gu Nuo’er pursed her lips and her long eyelashes fluttered. “Uncle Xie, it’s raining now. Every residence would have dark clouds above them.”

At this moment, a mother and daughter rushed over from the long corridor not far away.

Although Gu Nuo’er was a bit of a distance away, she had good hearing. Their words traveled with the wind…

“Mother, why does Father have to invite the princess over? It’s said that family scandals shouldn’t be aired in public, but he, on the other hand, can’t wait for others to know that his wife, who died early, has come back to cause trouble!”

The girl’s words were a little overboard, but her mother didn’t stop her at all.

Instead, she echoed, “Your father is just badly scared. In my opinion, Madam Yu is already dead. If she has become a powerful ghost, why would she torture her own daughter?

“Your father is a coward to believe something like this. The princess is so young, so what does she know? She probably just came to have fun!”

Gu Nuo’er puffed up her cheeks quietly.

Not long later, the mother and daughter had already walked up to Gu Nuo’er.

Xie Xingli quickly introduced, “Your Highness, these are my wife and daughter.”

The mother and daughter said in unison, “Paying our respect to the princess.”

Gu Nuo’er walked past the two of them.

The people behind her quickly followed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The child looked around and said softly, “Uncle Xie, did the malicious ghost only bully you, your eldest daughter, and Old Madam Xie?”

Xie Xingli was greatly shocked. “Princess, you really have divine foresight. Other than us, my wife and daughter are fine.”

Gu Nuo’er tilted her head. “Oh, then let’s go see the old madam first!”

Xie Xingli quickly led the way and everyone arrived at the old madam’s courtyard.

Gu Nuo’er still didn’t discover anything.

On the other hand, after entering the room, she saw an old woman lying sickly on the bed.

Her face was pale, her eyes closed and she was frowning. Four maidservants were attending to her.

Xie Xingli went forward and whispered a few words in her ear.

Old Madam Xie’s eyes widened and she started to curse, “This Madam Yu has long died, but she still dares to come back and cause trouble. When she was alive, I didn’t think that she was a good person. After she died, she still dared to come and scare me…”

The more she spoke, the more agitated she became. Then, she quickly started coughing violently.

Xie Xingli was shocked and quickly got the four maidservants to calm the old madam down.

He ran up to Gu Nuo’er and bowed in apology. “Princess, after the scare last time, my mother hasn’t been in a good state. Please pardon her!”

Gu Nuo’er pursed her tender lips, her fair face showing an obedient expression.

“It’s fine, I don’t mind.” If the old madam hadn’t done anything wrong, she wouldn’t be so frightened.

The child seemed to have arrived at an answer in her heart.
