Chapter 185: Gelton Manor 35
When everyone arrived, Du Xiaoyue asked everyone to move to the restaurant.
The dishes had been prepared in advance, and Su Qingyun brought them out one by one and placed them in front of everyone.
Then she poured drinks for everyone.
After pouring the wine, she stood behind Du Xiaoyue, watching the six people and two weird people having dinner together.
No one wanted to socialize, so everyone ate in silence.
The atmosphere is very weird.
At this time, music sounded, it was a waltz.
According to the rules, everyone had to stand up and dance. At this time, Su Qingyun was very glad that she was a maid because maids didn't have to dance.
Xin Yi chose to dance with Ye Jian. Yang Bingyan originally planned to invite Xu Xinghe, but perhaps because she remembered that Du Xiaoyue and Xu Xinghe were in a relationship at the Aimu Hotel, she chose Qin Shu.
Yin Qi seemed very interested in dancing, and he took the initiative to invite Yu Shan.
Du Xiaoyue sat in her seat waiting for Xu Xinghe to invite her.
Xu Xinghe walked towards Su Qingyun.
Su Qingyun wondered if Xu Xinghe didn't understand the rules. She was a maid and didn't have to dance.
But Xu Xinghe held her back by force.
Su Qingyun couldn't refuse or speak, she could only dance with him, even though she didn't know how to dance.
After the song ended, everyone returned to their seats and continued eating dinner.
Su Qingyun discovered that a piece of powder had fallen off Du Xiaoyue's snow-white face, revealing the dark skin underneath.
"Mr. Gourmet, why don't you invite me to dance with you, but invite my maid instead?" Du Xiaoyue asked Xu Xinghe with a gloomy face.
Xu Xinghe replied, "I thought Miss Du didn't like dancing."
"Why would I hold a dance if I don't like dancing?"
"Isn't the purpose of holding a ball to welcome us?"
Du Xiaoyue seemed to be stumped by Xu Xinghe's question, and she was stuck again.
Faced with this situation, Su Qingyun had no solution, although she now acted like an NPC.
She took the wine jug and continued to pour wine for everyone, hoping that the plot could move forward.
At this moment, she noticed that the basket of apples in the living room moved.
It looks like someone is taking an apple.
Su Qingyun looked back, but found nothing.
Is it a call from the sutra?
After asking Jing Huanyin to go upstairs, Su Qingyun never saw Ye Jian's contracted god. After Ye Jian went downstairs, he did not see him coming down with Ye Jian.
Among the many jewels hanging on Ye Jian, Su Qingyun did not see the jewel necklace she brought up from the cellar.
So Su Qingyun had no idea whether Jing Huan had gone to find Ye Jian, or whether he was still in the manor.
I hope it’s not Jinghuan who is eating the apple. The Contracted God can eat all the food in the copy, but I don’t know if he can eat the poisonous apple used to poison Snow White in the copy.
"Maid." Du Xiaoyue called Su Qingyun.
Su Qingyun hurried over.
"We don't need you to pour wine here, please go back to the servant's room." Let her go back and rest?
Although the task card required her to provide services to all guests attending the ball and also required her not to speak while providing services, there was no requirement for her to stay here all the time. Du Xiaoyue was the master here and she was a servant, and the servant had to listen to the master.
Su Qingyun put down the wine jug and went to the servant's room.
The servant's room was located in the innermost room on the first floor, right next to the stairs leading to the basement. Su Qingyun passed by this room several times when he went to the cellar and saw the words "Servant's Room" written on it.
She went there and when she opened the door, she saw Jing Huan sitting inside eating an apple.
"Summoned by the Lord?"
Jing Huan smiled at her.
Su Qingyun went over and snatched the apple from his hand, "Can you eat this apple? Just eat it?"
"Why can't you eat the apples? There are so many, one is enough for each of you." Jing Huan took the apple back and took another bite.
Su Qingyun sighed helplessly and had to tell the truth, "One of these apples might be poisonous."
Jing Huan threw the apple in his hand when he heard it. "It's poisonous. Who are you trying to poison?"
Seeing him so nervous, Su Qingyun suddenly laughed. She didn't expect that Ye Jian's contracted god was afraid of being poisoned to death.
She smiled and reassured him, "This apple is definitely not poisonous. You ate so many and nothing happened to you."
"I ate more than one, I ate two." Jing Huan stretched out two fingers.
Su Qingyun pushed his two fingers back and said, "It's okay. One bite of this apple will kill you. You are alive and kicking now, but you can't eat apples anymore."
"Do you have any more on you?"
Jing Huan took out two more from his pocket.
Su Qingyun asked him to throw it away.
At this moment, a squeaking sound suddenly came from a hole in the corner of the wall. Su Qingyun looked and saw that they were two fat rats.
Su Qingyun was afraid of mice to begin with, and she was even more frightened when she suddenly saw her, so she quickly pulled Jing Huan over to block her.
The big rat just squeaked twice and showed no intention of attacking. It did not run around the room, but picked up a big apple and went back into the hole.
"This mouse may be hungry." Jing Huan said.
Su Qingyun didn't say anything, she just looked at the rat hole quietly.
Jing Huan added, "If the rat is poisoned to death, you can't blame me."
This time, Su Qingyun finally spoke. She asked Jing Huan, "Why is there a rat hole in this room?"
"Strange?"
"Aren't maids supposed to be cleaning the manor? Why would they allow rat holes in their rooms?"
When the manor copy was opened, all the rooms here did become dilapidated, but after Du Xiaoyue walked out of the room barefoot, the manor returned to its original appearance, clean, tidy and presentable.
There shouldn't even be any mice in this manor.
Has the scene changed again?
Su Qingyun quickly pushed the door open and went out.
The scene had indeed changed. Behind the maid's room door was no longer a corridor and stairs, but a green meadow.
Su Qingyun looked back into the room and found that Jing Huan was no longer in the room. Not only was he not there, but even the furnishings in the room had changed.
The room was no longer a room, but a small wooden house with a chopping board on it, on which were placed kneaded noodles and some seasonings beside it.
Su Qingyun looked at herself again. She was wearing a fluffy white gauze skirt, a blue apron tied around her waist, and her hands were stained with flour.
[I made the noodles?] Su Qingyun thought, so now she has changed her identity and become a gourmet?
What about others?
Su Qingyun left the wooden house again. She wanted to find the other six people.
A crow flew down from the sky and landed on a branch in front of her.
"Quack, quack, quack" the crows cried in a very harsh voice.
Su Qingyun waved the electric baton to drive the crow away.
"Quack, quack, quack" a few more flew in the sky and circled above Su Qingyun's head.
This was an old woman carrying a basket, walking slowly towards Su Qingyun amidst the circling crows.
"Little girl," she said in a hoarse voice, "can you give me a bowl of water?"
Su Qingyun wanted to speak, but found that she couldn't make any sound.
The old woman stretched out her hand to her. Her fingers were like dead branches, and her nails were long and black.
Su Qingyun couldn't refuse, so she could only turn back to the wooden house and pour a bowl of water for the old woman.
The old woman drank the water and to show her gratitude she took an apple from her basket.
"Little girl, look at this apple, it's so red and big, why don't you eat it?"
Su Qingyun, "..." She is Snow White?
