The housekeeper Wen Ruan answered Lian Yi's question, which was equivalent to telling everyone why they were gathered together.
As soon as she finished speaking, the brides in the yard were startled. They looked at each other with disbelief and a hint of fear in their eyes.
After all, they had heard about the farce at the gate of Wenjiabao during the two days they had lived there. A person died before they even entered the gate, and now they hadn't even seen the groom. Another person died two days after living in Wenjiabao. Any normal person would be terrified.
Lian Yi also pretended to be surprised, frowned again, then raised her hand and pointed at an attic and asked Wen Ruan directly:
"Manager Wen, is the Miss Liu you mentioned the one who lives in that attic?"
"Yes, how did Miss Hua know?"
Manager Wen raised his eyes and asked.
These brides had only been living in Wenjia Castle for two days, and according to the servants' observations, Miss Hua had only spoken a few words to Miss Hong and was not familiar with the other ladies. She was only familiar with Miss Liu and had never even spoken to her. How could she have accurately pointed out the other's residence?
"Maybe I saw the murderer last night."
Lianyi did not hide anything and said it directly.
After hearing this, Wen Ruan took it seriously and said seriously:
"Miss Hua, what did you see? Can you tell us so that we can find out what happened."
"certainly."
Lian Yi readily agreed, and then said:
"It was probably around the time of Yin last night when I was suddenly awakened from my sleep. To be more precise, I was awakened by a gust of wind. When I woke up, I found that the window was open. I remember that I closed the window at the beginning of spring last night."
Lichun also had a serious expression at this time, but she still stepped forward and reported to Wen Ruan:
"Manager Wen, it was me who closed the window last night."
This also proves Lianyi's statement.
Wen Ruan nodded, then turned to Lianyi, motioning for her to continue.
“I saw the window was open and it was the middle of the night, so I didn’t disturb the maid and got out of bed to close the window. When I was closing the window, I seemed to see a black figure entering the attic.
At that time, I thought I was dazzled, but when I looked again, there was no one there. Plus, I was also sleepy, so I closed the windows and went to bed. I was woken up by the beginning of spring this morning.
I just remembered it after hearing the housekeeper say that Miss Liu was in trouble. If you hadn’t told me, I would have thought it was just a dream.”
Lian Yi spread his hands.
"Miss Hua, can you recall some more details?"
Wen Ruan asked in a calm tone.
"Because of the distance and the dim moonlight, I couldn't see clearly, but I felt that the other person was a little thin and not very tall, but seemed very light."
Lianyi pretended to try hard to recall, and then spoke as she thought.
Hong Ling'er on the side also pretended to be surprised, but only she knew what she was thinking in her heart.
At this time, a guard came over and whispered something to Wen Ruan. Wen Ruan nodded and looked around the yard before saying:
"The palace doctor just examined Miss Liu's body and found that she died of poisoning. To ensure the safety of the ladies, the guards in the castle will check your rooms. I hope you will cooperate."
After hearing Wen Ruan's words, the remaining brides were a little unhappy, saying that it was for their safety. Everyone knew that they were just going to search their house. They were all women, and they had already sent their belongings to where they were living now yesterday. How could they let outsiders touch their underwear?
Lian Yi immediately said unhappily:
"Manager Wen, do you suspect that one of us killed Miss Liu? Or do you want to take this opportunity to search again?
Not to mention that our dowry has been turned upside down by you, how could we let these male guards look through our underwear?
We still don’t know which young master of your Wen family we will become the bride of. They don’t mind, but I do! I won’t bully you like this! "
Since someone stood up to speak for everyone, several other young ladies from prominent families also spoke up:
"Manager Wen, Miss Hua is right. Since we have been carried into the Wen Family Castle, we are considered half of the Wen family. How can we let outsiders enter our room?"
"It is indeed inappropriate. What if someone deliberately framed you? That person has bad intentions and can kill people in your Wen Family Castle. He must be someone from your Wen Family Castle!"
"That's right. When we entered Wenjiabao, we didn't even bring a maid with us. The maid who is with us now was also assigned by your Wenjiabao."
"Yes! We stayed in this courtyard after we arrived. At most, we went to the dining room to eat. We didn't go anywhere else. Who knows if anyone has entered our house after we left."
"That's right."
Everyone was talking at once, but they were all obviously intelligent women, and they had probably been trained by their families. None of them was naive, and they immediately started to fight back.
Wen Ruan frowned. Although she disliked these young ladies, especially Lianyi who was the leader of the trouble, their suspicions were reasonable and she couldn't force the guards to search.
"Since the ladies have this concern, the three of us will accompany Madam Wen to check and prevent the guards from entering the rooms where the ladies are staying temporarily. This will definitely not tarnish their reputations."
A slightly magnetic male voice sounded in everyone's ears.
Lianyi, like everyone else, turned to look at the person who was speaking.
Leading the group was a handsome man who was eight feet tall, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth. He was wearing a well-fitting black robe with gold patterns, and looked very imposing.
There were two people standing next to each of him. One was a man with a pair of almond-shaped eyes and an androgynous appearance. He was wearing a maroon robe and had a sharp gaze, as he was looking at them carefully.
The other man was about the same age as the man with the phoenix eyes. He had a pair of puppy-like eyes, but his facial features were very delicate. He was wearing a purple robe with dark patterns and was also looking at everyone with interest.
There was a smile in Lianyi's eyes. She knew that what happened last night would definitely alarm these three people. They were the three young masters of Wenjiabao, Wen Shirui, Wen Shige, and Wen Shixuan.
According to the information Yinlou gave her, Wen Shirui was the best person of the current generation in Wenjiabao. He was a think tank and was highly regarded by the current head of the family. However, his martial arts ability was unknown.
However, Lianyi felt the fluctuation of spiritual power from the other party. Although it was very weak, she was very sure that the other party was a cultivator.
Wen Shige is the external representative of Wenjiabao. Although he looks androgynous, he has high martial arts skills. He is usually the one who handles all external matters of the Wen family.
The youngest one, Wen Shixuan, is both a doctor and a poison master. He is the Wen family's little treasure who is protected by all means. His two older brothers also dote on him very much.
Lianyi smelled a hint of elixir on him. What else was there for her to not understand? This man should be an elixir practitioner, so his fighting power was low, which was why he was given special protection.
"Three young masters, how could I trouble you?"
Wen Ruan immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying somewhat awkwardly. (End of this chapter)
