"Why?" Fu Miaoxue asked with wide eyes.
Du Lai replied, "The servants say that the Fu Family's Treasure Room is on the third floor. Anyone who approaches it without permission will be dealt with. There was once a servant's cat that ran away; she chased it to the third floor and never came down again."
At this point, Du Lai chuckled, "Miss, I'd like to live a little longer, so I will not venture to the third floor."
"Why didn't she come back down? Did she die and become a ghost?" Fu Miaoxue exclaimed in amazement, "My house actually has such interesting rumors. Are there any others?"
"Yes," Du Lai continued, "It's also said that old Master Fu has collected the mummy of an Egyptian Pharaoh in the Treasure Room. After 2 a.m., strange noises come from the third floor, which are said to be the Pharaoh scratching at his own sarcophagus."
