Chapter 444 Su Xiaoxiao disguises herself as a ghost to uncover the truth
Su Xiaoxiao said to the two of them, "I'll go back to Prince Gong's Mansion to look for clues. I refuse to believe that the murderer could be so meticulous in his actions."

"Then you must be careful!"

The little table said to Su Xiaoxiao.

"Don't worry, the Prince Gong's mansion trusts me a lot now. Besides, I'm just a servant, they won't pay any attention to me."

After saying that, Su Xiaoxiao changed her clothes again and went to Prince Gong's mansion.

Since Su Xiaoxiao's appearance these past few days, the oil lamp has not gone out again during night watch. Everyone still trusts Su Xiaoxiao very much, saying that this old woman from the countryside really has a way of keeping the young lady's ghost from causing trouble when she keeps watch.

In fact, Su Xiaoxiao didn't know the reason behind this. She thought it might be a kind of fate that made this young lady trust her and stop causing trouble.

This might allow her to meet Su Xiaoxiao, communicate with her, and ultimately have Su Xiaoxiao agree to help her overturn the case.

During the day, Su Xiaoxiao had nothing to do and could have rested in her room, but she was in no mood to rest and would wander around looking for clues.

Su Xiaoxiao found out the location of the new house and wanted to go and see what it looked like. Just after passing the small courtyard, she saw that the door to the new house was sealed with tape, and there were some officials on both sides guarding and patrolling back and forth. Su Xiaoxiao had no way to get close.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was pondering what to do, she suddenly noticed a servant-looking person peeking around, secretly observing the bridal chamber, and muttering to himself, "Miss, I was forced into this situation. Please don't blame me in heaven. If I tell the truth, I won't be able to live on myself..."

"Ok?"

Su Xiaoxiao immediately noticed something was wrong with this person. She glanced at him and realized he seemed to be a servant in Prince Gong's mansion, responsible for helping out in the kitchen.

This person is probably not even twenty years old, or even younger. People in ancient times tended to look older.

The servant trembled as he passed in front of Su Xiaoxiao, and Su Xiaoxiao had a premonition that he knew something, and that there seemed to be something fishy about this matter.

That evening, Su Xiaoxiao continued to wander around the small courtyard. There were fewer guards at the gate than during the day. As she was about to see if she could go in, she saw someone making a fire next to the courtyard.

It's almost midnight, what is this person doing coming over to start a fire?

Driven by curiosity, Su Xiaoxiao went over to take a look and found that the person was none other than the servant who had been muttering incantations like a madman during the day. He was burning paper money for someone.

Su Xiaoxiao went over to listen. While burning paper money, the guy was muttering something, as if he was repenting. It seemed very different. What did he have to apologize for about the deceased young lady that he needed to repent for?

Seeing how frightened he looked, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but wonder if this man was the real culprit. If he wasn't the real culprit, he should know something at least. Su Xiaoxiao was too far away to hear everything the servant said, and if she wanted to get any closer, there were no other cover in front of her, making her easy to expose herself.

Su Xiaoxiao could only wait until the servant finished burning the paper money, presumably to go back and rest.

Seeing her chance, Su Xiaoxiao pulled off her outer garment, revealing a white dress underneath. She let her hair down, leaving it disheveled, and then picked a red flower from the nearby flowerbed. She rubbed the juice from the flower, making it bright red, around her mouth, making her look like a female ghost who had eaten a dead child.

Originally, Su Xiaoxiao's face was made to look like an old woman, all black and grime. However, she had washed off the black ash from her face, revealing that her face was actually quite fair and beautiful, resembling that of a young woman. She felt that her current appearance was quite similar to that of the deceased young lady from the Prince's mansion. Thus, a good idea popped into Su Xiaoxiao's mind.

After the servant finished burning the paper money, he was about to leave when he suddenly saw a white shadow appear in the grove of trees ahead. At that moment, a cold wind blew around him. The servant, who was already feeling guilty, was terrified and began to tremble, even becoming unsteady on his feet.

The servant was nearly fainting from fright. Su Xiaoxiao didn't have time to waste with him and came straight over, floating over as if on cue, asking in a very resentful voice, "Do you remember who I am? I died so unjustly!"

The voice sounded somewhat like that of the young lady who had died in the Prince's mansion. After all, Su Xiaoxiao had already witnessed and heard the young lady's voice last night. So, she was somewhat prepared for this.

As for the voice, it doesn't really need to be very similar. Judging from this, the servant on the other side is already so frightened that he's practically out of his mind. What else is there to frighten him about?

He probably thinks any woman's voice would be mistaken for his deceased young lady's voice, given the environment and his guilty conscience. He would inevitably mistake Su Xiaoxiao for his young lady.

"Miss, please don't come any closer. I made a mistake. I just burned some paper money for you."

He hurriedly knelt down before Su Xiaoxiao, who was only a few meters away. However, due to the dim lighting, he couldn't clearly see if the Su Xiaoxiao in front of him was indeed their deceased young lady. Generally speaking, who would be out in the middle of the night, not sleeping, wearing a white dress?

"Do you think burning some paper money can make up for your mistake? Tell me, did you kill me? I'll definitely get my revenge on you today!"

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her long fingernails, which had just been coated with blood-red juice, to scare the servant. The servant saw this and exclaimed, "My God!" He almost immediately tilted his head and fell to the ground unconscious.

It's quite a frightening story. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, I didn't kill you, Miss. I saw who killed you, but I can't tell anyone!"

Seeing that there was hope for this, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly came over and asked, "Have you seen the murderer? Who is he?"

Seeing that there was a chance for this, Su Xiaoxiao pressed him relentlessly. After hesitating for a moment, the servant finally recounted what he had seen and heard that night to Su Xiaoxiao.

It turns out there was a lot of hidden truth behind this. To be honest, the servant never expected that he would accidentally witness the entire process of the murderer committing the crime.
