Chapter 628 5 Sister, Don’t Wrongly Accuse People

When this question was asked, no one answered.

Gu Chaoxi raised his eyes and looked at the young master sitting opposite him. He lowered his head slightly, as if thinking about something.

Turning his eyes, he saw the fifth young lady sitting at the edge. She was holding her cloak and looked a little sick.

Is she pretending to be sick and addicted?

Since no one was talking, Gu Chaoxi naturally wouldn't rush to speak. He leaned back a little, leaning lazily on the back of the chair.

Ji Ze glanced around and then lowered his eyes. Perhaps because he was feeling uncomfortable, he coughed violently a few times.

The eldest young master looked towards Ji Ze, his dark eyes seemed to be thinking about something, but he just watched.

It was not until Ji Ze recovered and raised his head to look at them that the young master lowered his head again.

"You won't tell me? Then let the boss tell me first. Is there really a ghost in our house?"

The eldest young master had to speak when he was named. After all, in this house, no one could disobey Ji Ze.

One of the rules states that you cannot disobey the general.

This rule also applies to other people in this house.

Gu Chaoxi raised his eyebrows. He was quite curious about how the young master would respond. After all, he was the participant, planner, and mastermind of this matter.

The eldest young master raised his brows a little, his throat rolled a little, and he sat up straighter.

"Father, do you believe in these fabricated things and rumors?"

Ji Ze didn't say anything, but snorted coldly. It was obvious that what the young master said was not from his heart, but was just to fool him.

But if the eldest young master doesn't say anything, there are others. If everyone gives the same answer, it will be meaningless.

So, the next second, his gaze shifted to Gu Chaoxi.

"Xiangxiang, go ahead."

Gu Chaoxi raised his eyebrows slightly. Just come in order now?

But she didn't care.

"Father, he is just playing tricks. He will be exposed sooner or later. After all, due to your majesty, he doesn't even dare to come to you. He can only scare others."

After she finished speaking, her eyes swept around and finally fell back on Ji Ze.

"Father, am I right?"

Gu Chaoxi had a smile on his face and tilted his head as if to act cute.

Ji Ze glanced at her and his eyes slid away from her.

To be honest, no one could suspect Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan. After all, these two were the first to tell him about this matter, and they said they saw it.

As for the other three, there is the eldest young master who is so gloomy all day long as to not let anyone get close to him, the fourth young master who is described as a loser by the second concubine, and the fifth young lady who is sick all day long.

It seems that each of them has their own unique behavior, but none of these three people mentioned the ghost in the general's mansion.

Even if those concubines didn't come to him to complain repeatedly when they encountered such things, wouldn't they remind their children to be more careful?

Either these concubines felt it was inconvenient to tell others about the ghost and their past affairs, or these young masters and young ladies were hiding something in their hearts.

Obviously, in Ji Ze's mind, things lean towards the latter.

"Mingwei, you go ahead."

Pei Yan coughed lightly, glanced at a few people, and then turned to Ji Ze.

"Father, there are some things that people who do things know clearly in their hearts. I have a clear conscience, but I don't know what those who pretend to be mysterious are thinking."

How to answer? You can't just point out the eldest young master's name, and who knows how the three of them discussed this matter.

They both chose not to get involved, leaving it to their own devices.

Ji Ze's gaze shifted to the Fourth Young Master again, but before he could say anything, the Fifth Young Lady, who was sitting on the other side, weakly raised her hand.

"Father."

"What's the matter?" Ji Ze looked over.

The Fifth Miss looked a little hesitant, but she raised her hand and pointed at the Fourth Young Master.

"Father, in fact, all these things were done by my fourth brother. I saw them."

"Fifth sister! You can't wrongly accuse people!" The fourth young master seemed anxious. He was about to stand up from the chair, but he restrained himself.

Gu Chaoxi glanced sideways, it seemed that he was planning to throw the fourth young master out!

The eldest young master also looked over, but before that he glanced at Gu Chaoxi first.

The Fifth Miss seemed to be frightened and shrank back, avoiding the Fourth Young Master and looking at Ji Ze who was sitting in the main seat.

There seemed to be tears in her voice as she spoke: "Father! I didn't lie!"

"Shut up!" The fourth young master was really angry. He immediately stood up from his chair, and his hands were shaking as he raised his hand to point at her.

Then he turned to Ji Ze and said, "Father, don't listen to Fifth Sister's nonsense. How could I do such a stupid thing?"

Well, why can't you do it? You are still conspiring with each other.

Gu Chaoxi raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Ji Ze raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, with a bit of disgust in his eyes: "Xiao Si, is this how you treat your sister? Sit down! What's the matter with you yelling at me!"

He choked and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment. He could only sit on the chair angrily.

Pei Yan interlaced his fingers, rubbing the back of his hands with the tips of his thumbs. He lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

The same goes for the eldest young master. Although he was looking in the direction of the fourth young master, his eyes did not look genuine.

It was more like he was observing Ji Ze's reaction out of the corner of his eye.

The person sitting in the main seat tapped his fingers on the armrest, his eyes moving back and forth between the Fourth Young Master and the Fifth Young Miss.

One is the person who took the initiative to complain with a determined look in his eyes, and the other is the person who is somewhat furious after being complained.

To be honest, you can tell who is telling the truth just by looking at it.

Regardless of whether what Miss Fifth said was true or not, from Ji Ze's perspective, Miss Fifth did not lie and what she said were all based on her own understanding.

As for the Fourth Young Master, he refuted very quickly, as if he was pissed off, but it was hard to tell whether it was true or not.

"Xiangxiang, do you think it's Xiao Si?" The topic suddenly shifted to Gu Chaoxi.

She raised her eyes and looked at Ji Ze. She didn't know why he mentioned her, probably because she said she saw the black shadow at that time.

But the black shadow didn't say anything, so how could he tell?

But just as she was about to answer, she saw the young master opposite her reach out and pick up the teacup on the table.

The hot steam rose up from inside, and the young master lowered his eyes and took a sip.

"Father, the black shadow is indeed taller than me, but I can't say whether it is my fourth brother. The black shadow has never spoken in front of me."

"Perhaps, you can ask the third concubine you met?"

What the eldest young master meant just now was to ask her to admit that it might be the fourth young master.
