Because of Xia Lingge's sudden withdrawal, Bai Weiwei fell to the ground unprepared, and her long black hair fell down to cover her face. Bai Weiwei rubbed the painful elbow and arm, and raised her face again, still looking pitiful.
"He...he is not a real housekeeper." Bai Weiwei said with a tearful voice, "I, I met him looking for a property contract, and then he threatened me, saying that if I told others, he would kill me..."
"That's it?" Xia Lingge asked.
Bai Weiwei shook her head, and the tears in her eyes rolled down intermittently, so as not to be lovable: "I, I saw something he was holding tightly in his hand, it seemed to be a piece of paper, but I didn't have time to take a closer look, and I fell into coma. In the past... I, am I going to die?!"
Paper...?
Xia Lingge ignored Bai Weiwei's cries and began to think slightly. Si Cheng came to her side and asked softly: "Could it be the other half of the property contract?"
"It's not impossible."
Xia Lingge looked at Bai Weiwei, "Do you still remember when you met the housekeeper?"
"I……"
Bai Weiwei had tears in her eyes and sobbed: "I only remember that not long after you left, there was a sound of a tiger, which scared me. Then when I was about to close the gate of the castle, I bumped into the housekeeper stealing something. After that…I don’t know anything after that.”
Tiger's cry...
Xia Lingge and the others encountered tigers twice. The first time was deep in the dead forest, but it was too far away from the castle. Even if there was a sound, it would be difficult to clearly know that it was a tiger's roar.
Then the tiger roar that Bai Weiwei heard might be the second time. When they were contending with Luo Yan, if we extrapolate from this, the young butler must not have been away for long, and even if the property treaty in his hand is really half, it is only half , he will not leave easily, he will only hide himself and look for opportunities to find the next half.
So where could the hiding place of the castle be?
Xia Lingge turned to Si Cheng. Si Cheng immediately understood and walked out of the bedroom. He leaned against the door frame and looked at them lazily. Then he stretched his body and said, "Then I won't disturb you. Go back and sleep..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Lingge was holding him by the neck.
"Run somewhere."
Xia Lingge looked at him with an indifferent expression: "It's difficult enough to have one guy who secretly causes trouble, but if there's another one, do you think I'm idle?"
Shen Yu was unconvinced: "Am I the kind of person who makes trouble?"
"Aren't you?" Xia Lingge pulled him closer to her.
"Miss Lingge! Young Master Jingui, please be careful." The old housekeeper looked at Xia Lingge pulling on Shen Yu's neck collar, with a worried and ferocious complaint in his eyes.
Xia Lingge was very familiar with that aura of a monster, but she didn't stop there. Instead, she pulled Shen Yu tighter: "Don't worry, I'm just having a cordial and friendly exchange with him. If I really want to take action, , he was already lying on the ground."
At the same time, the free hand was placed behind his back, and a flashing red dagger instantly appeared in his palm. The old butler frowned and wanted to say something more, but suddenly he felt an inexplicable pressure that suppressed him speechless and his body trembled a little.
His gaze swept across the melancholy and exaggerated face, then he retracted his steps to step out, and whispered: "I believe in Miss Lingge's sense of propriety, so I won't bother you. I'll go and help the young master and the two ladies." Get ready for afternoon tea.”
"Go." Xia Lingge said.
Shen Yu struggled a few times to break free of Xia Lingge's hand, twisted his neck twice and murmured to the old butler's disappearing back: "You said that this young master is important, but in the end, he ran faster than anyone else when faced with the evil forces."
"So it's more obvious that he was trained by the young master." Xia Lingge patted his shoulder. "Don't rest. Find the property as soon as possible and finish the work early. I have a hunch that we will find it soon this time."
Shen Yu tsked and walked away slowly.
Bai Weiwei, who was paralyzed on the ground, still lowered her head and didn't know what to think. Her long black hair fell down to cover her face, making it unclear what her emotions were.
Xia Lingge looked away and walked out of the bedroom.
…
"No."
The three people gathered together again and shook their heads. Sicheng frowned and said, "We have searched the first and second floors, and even the underground storage room, wine cellar and grocery room, but there is no trace of that person."
"Except for one place."
Shen Yu smiled with a dark glint in his eyes: "The underground altar in the study."
Si Cheng paused after hearing this and turned to look at Xia Lingge. Xia Lingge knew what they were hesitating about. Although the ghost bride had dissipated, it was difficult to guarantee that there was nothing else in the place like the altar. They did not yet know who the person was and what his main purpose was. They acted rashly. Might be in danger.
"Whether we want to go or not, we'll know after a test, right?"
Xia Lingge leaned lazily on the second floor staircase, turned her head and looked down quietly. The old housekeeper made cakes and tea, brought them to the table and put them down. He also picked up a cup of fresh and sweet hot milk and put it in front of Bai Weiwei and comforted her softly.
She looked at the girl in the white dress, her eyes flickering.
…
"Study? Me?"
Bai Weiwei seemed to be at a loss for a moment. She struggled a little while holding the glass. After hesitating for a long time, she raised her head and asked, "Are you really sure that the fake housekeeper will be in the underground altar?"
"I'm not sure, so I have to look for it." Xia Lingge said.
Bai Weiwei took a sip of hot milk, and then said with firm eyes: "Okay. In order to leave the game as soon as possible, I will go with you."
Xia Lingge, Si Cheng and Shen Yu looked at each other.
"study?"
The old housekeeper frowned slightly when he heard their conversation. His eyes fell on Shen Yu for a moment and then he said to Xia Lingge: "Miss Lingge, no offense, I want to know what you are going to do in the study?"
"is it not OK?"
Xia Lingge asked instead without answering.
The old butler pushed up his glasses frame slowly: "No. You are the daughter of Lord Kloster. You can enter any place in this castle, but I don't know why you have to go to the Lord's Palace." study?"
"Study." Xia Lingge replied without changing his expression. "As one of the heirs of the Kloster family, I feel it is my obligation to learn things related to the family."
The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Xia Lingge was even more keenly aware that he glanced at Shen Yu silently. Maybe there were too many people to refuse, but the old housekeeper wriggled his lower lip but still compromised: "Okay, you must handle the things in the study with care. , return it to its original place after use, and do not move it casually.”
"OK."
Xia Lingge answered.
The four of them arrived at the study and skillfully opened the darkroom door again. Shen Yu and Bai Weiwei were about to go down without hesitation, but Xia Lingge suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
