The Death of Yuhuan (Part 2)
After the meal, the guests and the host were all happy. The four men at the table drank a lot of wine. Du Xingye drank to his heart's content. When he was in high spirits, he patted Lu Fanye's shoulder and burped: "Xiaolu, the young are formidable, the young are formidable!"
It's really amazing. No matter what you say, he will first affirm it, and then pick out some small points that are not wrong to make suggestions, and add some new ideas, which will fool you, an old man.
Lu is a big liar.
Xu Wei secretly complained in his heart, but Lu Fanye patted his head. He looked into the other's hazy eyes and spoke with a hint of alcohol: "What are you doing? Let's go."
Xu Wei quickly got up and held onto Lu Dahuoyou's arm, as he seemed drunk.
Lu Fanye lowered his head slowly, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Fortunately, I'm not drunk."
Okay, now I’m really drunk.
Pigtails led the five people to the west wing, where there were exactly five rooms lined up for them to choose from.
While the people were still there, Xu Wei hurriedly asked, "Do you have any restrictions at night? For example, not being allowed to go out, one person can only sleep in one room, etc?"
Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't risk asking directly, but the problem is that the person next to me is drunk and unconscious. If no one is watching, the rules will be triggered and I will be sent away. That would be more unfair than Dou E.
The girl with pigtail braids was startled when she heard that. She looked at Lu Fanye, who was leaning on her with drunken eyes, and smiled knowingly: "How can there be such a ban? If you want to enjoy the moon and the scenery in the middle of the night, just come out. Couples can stay in pairs and choose a room."
The conversation changed immediately: "Just don't wander into the Second Madam's yard when you are enjoying the scenery. There is a special person guarding the gate of her yard. If you see her, return as soon as possible."
Intuitively, this was an important piece of information, and Li Xiangdong hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
Pigtails were quite helpless: "Second Madam has not been in a good mood since she became pregnant. She always suspects that someone wants to harm her. The master has asked someone to watch over her to make her feel at ease. She was better a few days ago, but has been getting worse recently. She is often frightened at night. We servants all say that she is possessed. We have to ask a Taoist priest to take a look."
Xu Wei had a bad feeling.
Zhang Yuan frowned and asked, "How many months is the second wife's baby?"
"It's seven months, and the doctor said it's twins, a boy and a girl."
"When will we invite the Taoist priest?"
"The master never believes in these things, and he doesn't allow people to discuss them in private. I'm worried that you might accidentally offend the Second Madam. This is the first child in the mansion, and the master cherishes her very much. If that happens, it will be difficult to resolve the situation."
Seeing that everyone seemed to be thinking about something, Pigtail bowed and said, "I will take the maid away first, and I will come back tomorrow to help you wash. It is getting late, and the distinguished guests should rest early."
This is because they are not used to serving others.
Xu Wei held her back: "What's your name?"
The girl with pigtails smiled innocently, with two blushes on her cheeks: "My name is Lihua."
After entering the guest room, Xu Wei and Li Shaodong put Lu Fanye on the bed and made him lie on his side.
He endured the greatest criticism during the meal. Although he kept insisting that he was not drunk, he fell asleep as soon as he got on the bed.
The great hero slept on his bed drunk, while the other four made do with sleeping on the couch or lying on the table, taking turns to keep watch.
Since there are no restrictions, it is safest and most convenient to rest in a group.
The night was peaceful and nothing happened. At 4:30 in the morning, the other three returned to their rooms, leaving Xu Wei to watch over the sleeping Lu Fanye.
At this time, she couldn't sleep either, so she leaned against the bed with her legs hugged, looking out the door bored. It was still dark outside and the maids and servants were not awake yet, so there was no sound at all, only the chirping of insects coming in with the wind.
As I was staring absentmindedly, there was a sudden commotion in the distance. After a while, the entire yard in the east was lit up, and there was a noisy sound of people, mixed with shouts and exclamations.
When they opened the door, Zhang Yuan and the others were also woken up.
"Isn't this the second lady's yard?" Li Shaodong pointed to the brightest place.
I felt a little uneasy in my heart, but at this moment, the bracelet vibrated.
[Players are requested to find out the truth about the haunting of the Du Mansion within six days.]
Here it comes.
Xu Wei returned to the room, with the cool morning air on his body, and patted the person who was sleeping soundly.
"Get up, there's something wrong outside!"
Lu Fanye moved his head, squinted his eyes and said "hmm", unwilling to open them.
Xu Wei was helpless: "Li Shaodong and the others have gone to investigate, get up quickly."
Seeing no response, she began to shake him: "Finish the investigation before going to sleep. It will be too late and there will be no clues. I can't leave you here."
Unable to bear the shaking, Lu Fanye sighed, finally opened his eyes, looked at the person in front of him for a while, and then got up silently.
Xu Wei put his clothes on him, smoothed down his hair, and said softly for the first time: "Are you still drunk? Why are you so confused?"
Looks pretty good.
Lu Fanye shook his head, put on his coat and shoes, stood up quickly and walked out.
Then he staggered.
Xu Wei hurried over to support him.
"His wine is so strong..."
When they arrived at the East Courtyard, the people led by Du Xingye had already sealed off the courtyard and driven out all the servants, leaving only a few personal maids and the mansion's doctor.
Zhang Yuan looked at the two people who arrived late and shook his head seriously.
The two maids beside them didn't care and whispered, "I wasn't awake yet, what was going on?"
"Don't mention it. I got up to go to the bathroom and heard the second wife making a noise in the main room. I thought she was in a nightmare as usual. But when I was squatting there was a scream outside. It was so creepy. Then there was a loud noise. I almost fell into the pit because of the fright."
"Is the Second Madam okay?"
"I hope the Second Madam is well, otherwise the Master will do something to us."
Xu Wei and Lu Fan Ye looked at each other.
"Bang!" A gunshot was heard from the inner room, startling everyone.
After a moment's silence, the crowd suddenly became excited.
Just now, few people were talking because of Du Xingye's reputation, but when the gunshots were heard, it was as if a start button was pressed, and everyone outside began to whisper to each other.
The chief guard at the gate shouted a few times, but still couldn't help it.
The main house door opens.
Xu Wei reflexively pulled Lu Fanye behind the crowd.
A woman rushed out of the door, tumbling and crawling, and rushed towards everyone with a terrified face, shouting, "The lady is dead! Run! Run! There is a ghost!"
Another gunshot was heard, and the woman fell in front of the two maids, with a few spots of blood splattering.
Du Xingye stood at the door of the main house, with the gun raised in his hand, staring at everyone with a sinister expression.
The two maids collapsed to the ground in an instant, screaming and pushing the woman's body away.
Du Xingye came out from the inner room. Everyone around took a step back. He walked up to the woman and kicked her: "Carry her away."
Two guards came over to carry the body. He then turned around and looked around, fixing his eyes on Li Shaodong and Zhang Yuan's faces: "Something happened in the mansion. Did I disturb you?"
Li Shaodong didn't dare to answer this question, and said nervously: "No, no."
Du Xingye ignored him, fiddled with the gun in his hand, looked around again, and said to the maidservant, "Keep your mouth shut about what happened today. If I hear a word outside, you know what I will do."
Those in sweatshirts and cotton and linen clothes all lowered their heads when they heard it.
Only then did Xu Wei realize that the woman who fell to the ground was also wearing cotton and linen clothes, but her dress was a little more fashionable, and she looked very much like the second wife's personal maid.
"Xiaolu, you are here too?" Du Xingye saw them at this time.
It was difficult because Lu Fanye was too conspicuous and he couldn't hide even by lowering his head.
Fortunately, he finally came to his senses and nodded, "I drank a lot last night and slept soundly, so I came here."
The implication is that we know nothing and are just here to see what's going on, and not to get involved.
Du Xingye nodded. He seemed to have a good impression of Lu Fanye. He put away his gun and said, "Let's all go. It will be dawn soon."
At the command, the crowd dispersed in a hurry.
Xu Wei held Lu Fanye's arm and kept his head down until they turned around and left, then he dared to secretly look up.
He was still in his uniform, but his body was more wrinkled than during the day, as if he had fallen asleep in it and was woken up in a hurry.
He didn't sleep at the second lady's place? Or, did he not sleep at any of the ladies' places tonight?
Behind Du Xingye, another corpse was carried out by the guards, and it did not look like the Second Lady.
Then who is it?
