Chapter 330: Survey
Shen Yixiang was very displeased and gritted her teeth as she complained, "Where did Third Aunt hear such a thing? You can’t just say anything during the New Year festivities. If I find out who started this, I’ll tear their mouth apart!"
Seeing her expression, Third Aunt sighed, "You all don’t know yet? Look, this is a serious matter. With it being New Year, if things go wrong, it could mess up the whole year. You should mention it to your parents too. I don’t know which taboos might have been violated... I know it’s serious, and I wouldn’t talk nonsense. This really isn’t easy to handle. Go ahead and eat first."
"Wait, who exactly saw this, Third Aunt? Come on, tell us."
"It seems more than one person saw it. Last night, Jianjun’s wife called her child back home for dinner, and she vaguely saw something as she passed by your house. And Huang Tao next door also said she saw something. She saw it in the evening while she was herding her chickens back home. And oh, Fu also seems to have seen something, not ghost lights, but shadows moving inside your courtyard wall... I must go home now..." By the end of her words, Third Aunt felt a chill breeze blowing from behind, realizing only then that she was in a place of trouble and quickly found an excuse to leave.
Shen Yixiang quickly took two steps forward, "When exactly did it happen?"
"Last night..." Third Aunt’s voice drifted from ahead, disappearing along with her shadow.
Shen Yixiang stamped her foot and reluctantly walked back.
"What did Third Aunt exactly say?" everyone asked Shen Yixiang.
"She said people saw a ghost in our house."
"What? She saw it?"
