Chapter 139 Extra: Actually It's a Woman

"Butler, what are you doing here?" Tao Jianchun asked.

The butler seemed to be startled by them. He immediately stood up and put the jade pendant into his sleeve calmly.

Then, he put on his standard smiling face: "Hello, everyone."

Seeing him like this, everyone didn't know how to start the conversation for a while.

Only Gu Wanyin asked directly: "Are you here missing the second young master's mother?"

Upon hearing this, the butler's expression suddenly changed, and the smile froze on his face.

"You two must have a good relationship, right? She was forced to marry here, you must be very sad, right?"

The housekeeper's expression gradually turned cold, he walked closer to Gu Wanyin step by step, and said coldly: "Who told you this?"

"I guessed it at first." Gu Wanyin said calmly, "Now it's confirmed."

The housekeeper: "..."

He kept staring at Gu Wanyin fiercely.

Everyone else was worried for her.

But in the end, the housekeeper just glared at her and left.

The others breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are so brave!" Gu Han said to Gu Wanyin, "Aren't you afraid that he will suddenly go berserk?"

"In this copy, you can't kill people during the day." Gu Wanyin said, "Every time something happens, it happens at night. And tonight is the wedding, life and death will depend on this one move, and you are not afraid of offending another housekeeper."

"Thanks to Boss Gu, we can now confirm an important news." Bai Shuwen said, "It seems that the housekeeper and the second young master's mother were really in love back then."

"Not only that." Gu Wanyin's tone was a little heavy, "I think the second young master... is the housekeeper's child."

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

But think about it, it's not impossible.

Since the housekeeper and the second young master's mother were in love at the time, it doesn't seem unimaginable that they secretly got married.

The second young master's mother married into the family with the second young master in her arms. When she gave birth, she could have bribed the doctor and the midwife to say that the second young master was having a premature birth.

"The hairpin in the second young master's study should be a token of love between his mother and the housekeeper." Gu Wanyin said, "He is very likely to know about the housekeeper and his mother, and also know about his own life experience."

"That's not right!" Tao Jianchun frowned, "I remember the maid said before that the relationship between the housekeeper and the second young master is not good! Isn't it because the housekeeper can't stand the fact that his beloved woman gave birth to another man's child, so he has always disliked the second young master?"

"Is it possible that their bad relationship is just to hide the truth?" Zhuang Xiaoxia said, "As long as they keep pretending to have a bad relationship, no one will doubt that they are father and son."

Dong Yue scratched his hair and said distressedly, "But we still don't know who killed the eldest master and the servants in the mansion, and why?"

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Gu Wanyin suddenly said something out of the blue: "Don't you think the second young master is a little short?"

"Why? Do you look down on short men?" Tao Jianchun asked unhappily, "There's nothing we can do about him being short! Who doesn't want to grow taller?"

"That's not what I meant." Gu Wanyin explained, "I just think that the second young master is an adult, but he is only about 1.65 meters tall..." "

For an adult man, 1.65 meters is indeed a little short, but there are men like this." Zhuang Xiaoxia said.

"Wan Yin, do you mean that the Second Young Master is actually a woman?" Gu Han asked in surprise, "How is that possible? He is the Second Young Master! Everyone in and outside the house calls him that." "

And, judging from his behavior, he doesn't sound like a woman." Chen Sisi said, "Neither does his voice."

Bai Shuwen thought for a moment and said, "If a girl is raised as a boy since she was young, then it is normal for her to not behave like a woman. A voice can also be trained."

"If that's the case, then our previous guess that the second young master killed the eldest young master for the person he loved is no longer valid!" Dong Yue said, "If the second young master was a woman, how could he like a woman? And how could he kill his own brother for a woman? Oh, no, not a biological brother, no blood relationship, but they grew up together!"

Gu Wanyin smiled and said, "Unless, the second young master's sweetheart is not the second young master's wife."

...

That day they searched the house carefully again. They

did find some clues.

For example, they found traces of rouge and powder at the door of the second young master's bedroom.

It is impossible for the second young master's wife to come to the second young master's bedroom in her current state.

The maids in the house all had plain faces and didn't use any rouge or powder.

In other words, this clue was telling them that the second young master was indeed a woman.

"Alas!" Bai Shuwen sighed, "Even if she grew up like a boy, she is still a girl after all, and this is an ancient background. Maybe the second young master has always longed to wear girls' clothes and use girls' rouge and powder."

"But why did you raise her as a boy?" Dong Yue asked puzzled.

"I'm afraid only the second young master's mother and the housekeeper know this." Gu Wanyin said.

But since they met the housekeeper once in the morning, the housekeeper has never appeared again.

The servants in the house seemed to have disappeared.

The kitchen door in the house was closed before, and they didn't dare to go in.

But this time when they passed by the kitchen, they found the door was open.

After walking in, in a corner of the kitchen, they found a small thing similar to a magic circle.

A strange pattern that had never been seen before, with an incense burner on it, and three incense sticks burning on the burner.

"It should be this magic circle that allows the dead in the house to move during the day." Dong Yue shuddered, "Alas, I always feel a creepy feeling..." "

The one who set up this magic circle should be either the housekeeper or the second young master." Bai Shuwen said, "The murderer who killed everyone must be one of them!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement, but Gu Wanyin felt that something seemed to be wrong.

She suddenly remembered the letter she had seen in the Second Young Master's study.

At the bottom of the letter, it was written "Kill him, kill him".

If, as they had previously inferred, the Second Young Master's sweetheart was not the Second Young Master's wife, then it must be the First Young Master.

They grew up together since childhood, and although they were brothers, the Second Young Master was a girl after all, and over time, she fell in love with this brother who had no blood relationship with her.

Before, the First Young Master was going to marry the Second Young Master's wife, and the Second Young Master was naturally dissatisfied.

But why did it say "Kill him"?

How could the Second Young Master kill his sweetheart?

It is true that in ancient times, "he" could refer to men, women, and everything, but the other characters in the letter were simplified Chinese characters, so they should be understood according to modern thinking. If

the Second Young Master wanted to kill someone, he should have killed the Second Young Master's wife, so he should have written "she".

But that letter...

If their previous inferences were correct, then that letter was not written by the Second Young Master.
