"You shouldn't reject Mr. Henry so quickly. As long as he is willing to pursue you, you will have a steady stream of gains, not only status, but also money and even high-end equipment."
A clear female voice came into Lianyi's ears.
Lianyi turned around and saw a pretty red-haired girl with a headband of the same color. She had a round face and big eyes. She was only about 1.6 meters tall and wore a puffy Lolita skirt, looking like a petite little bird.
"Really? I didn't know! No one reminded me. If I had known, I wouldn't have refused Mr. Henry."
Although Lianyi said it was a pity, there was no trace of regret in her tone.
"Of course they won't remind you. You are a very strong competitor."
"Really? I think I have the ability to do that."
Lian Yi stroked her black hair and said with a smile.
This time the red-haired girl didn't respond, but the corners of her mouth twitched.
"What about you? You don't try to please Mr. Henry? Although you are a little worse than me, you are much better than those people."
Ripple glanced at the red-haired girl and raised an eyebrow.
"I'm a distant relative of Mr. Henry, and I'm just visiting. My name is Lacey, and you?"
"Just call me Ripple."
"Nice to meet you, Miss Ripple!"
"Ms. Lacey, when will the party end? I'm a little tired."
Lianyi asked with a yawn. She felt that this kind of occasion was the most boring.
"I'll have the butler take you to the guest room to rest. The reception will last for half a month, and the guests will come from different places and arrive at different times, so the castle has prepared a lot of guest rooms."
Lacey said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you very much!"
Lacey waved her hand, and the butler who had brought Lianyi into the party came in. After listening to Lacey's instructions, he respectfully took Lianyi away from the party.
The two walked through the long corridor one after the other and went up to the second floor. The butler opened the door of a guest room near the stairs:
"Miss Lianyi, this is your room. Please rest here tonight."
"Okay, thank you."
Lian Yi directly threw a gold coin to the other party, and then asked with a smile:
"I heard that ancient castles with a long history usually have some taboos. Does Dracula's Castle have any?"
The servant received the gold coins and was very happy. He carefully put the coins into his sleeves. When he heard Lianyi's question, he lowered his voice and said:
"Miss Lianyi, when the lights in the castle are turned off, no matter what sound you hear, please do not leave the room and do not go to the third floor of the castle. No one is allowed to go up there except the members of the Dracula family."
"I see. Thank you for your reminder. I will stay in the room."
"Okay, I won't disturb the young lady's rest. I will withdraw first."
The butler bowed and left the room, closing the door considerately.
Lianyi locked the door directly, then walked around the guest room. Looking at the portrait hanging on the head of the bed, she curled the corners of her lips, took off her shoes, stepped on the bed, and took down the heavy portrait with one hand.
Then he threw the entire picture frame directly into an empty closet, and tied the handle of the closet with the death thread. Then he went to the bathroom, took a nice bath, and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, a woman's scream echoed in the corridor, and there seemed to be the sound of a door opening, and then there were messy footsteps. None of these affected Lianyi's rest. It was just that in the second half of the night, the cabinet that was entangled with the death-defying thread moved twice, as if something was trying to rush out of the cabinet.
Lianyi then opened her eyes and said impatiently:
"It really disturbs my sweet dreams!"
She turned her wrist, and as if receiving an order, one of the deadly threads separated and went directly into the cabinet. After a scream, there was no movement in the cabinet.
Lianyi turned over and continued to sleep.
Lianyi waited until she woke up naturally, then she got up to wash up, and then she heard a knock on the door:
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Miss Ripple. I'm here to bring you new clothes."
It was last night's butler.
When Lianyi opened the door, she saw two maids following the male servant. They both lowered their heads, not daring to look at Lianyi. Each of them held a tray in her hand, which contained exquisite clothes, which were obviously sent for Lianyi to wear.
"Come in!"
Lianyi waved her hand casually, and the butler led the two people into the room.
"Let them both help Miss change her clothes, and then I will take you to the restaurant for dinner."
After the butler finished speaking, he left the room, but before closing the door, he deliberately glanced in the direction of the bed.
With the help of two maids, Lianyi finally put on the gorgeous maroon dress in three layers, then lifted her skirt and went to the restaurant on the first floor.
Henry looked radiant and had changed into a navy blue suit. He was sitting in the main seat. A variety of meals were placed on the long table in front of him. There were already ten people sitting on it, all of whom were beauties who attended the cocktail party last night. After seeing Lianyi, everyone had a different expression.
Henry, who was sitting at the main seat, had his eyes light up and asked with a smile:
"Ms. Lianyi, did you rest well last night?"
Henry stood up as he asked, and very gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Lianyi to sit down.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Henry. I went to bed early last night, but I seemed to hear a scream in the middle of the night. I don't know if I heard it wrongly."
Lian Yi said, and then asked Lacey who was sitting opposite her:
"Miss Lacey, did you hear that?"
"Hey! Someone went out to look for food in the middle of the night, then missed a step and fell from the second floor, which alerted the guests."
Lacey said helplessly.
"I see! When I went up to the second floor, I did notice that the staircase was quite long. I wonder if the person was seriously injured?"
"She broke her neck."
Lacey could only say helplessly.
"Dead?"
Lianyi exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.
"What's the big deal? She went downstairs by herself. If she had called the servant and lighted the lamp, there wouldn't have been any accidents."
A beautiful woman said disdainfully.
"I am deeply sorry for Erin's passing. I have sent my butler to transport her body away and have compensated her family. May she rest in peace."
Henry said sadly.
"Mr. Henry, is Miss Irene your ideal wife?"
Lianyi did not respond to the woman's words, but asked Henry instead.
"I have a good impression of Miss Yilin. We even watched the moon together last night. She agreed to stay in the castle for a few more days. In the end, I personally sent her back to her room. I didn't expect such a sad thing to happen in just one night."
Henry said helplessly.
"Since Mr. Henry likes Miss Yilin so much, why don't you give her a few more pieces of equipment? It must be that your love is not strong enough. Otherwise, why would you not spend more time protecting your beloved even though you knew she would be in danger?"
Lianyi said pointedly.
"This Miss Lianyi, how do I know she will leave the room in the middle of the night?"
Henry said with some grievance.
"Mr. Henry, they all want to be your wife. Before you decide on the final candidate, one less person means one less competitor. What do you think they will do?"
My dears, there is still time before 10 o'clock. Fengling will go to write after dinner. It's mainly because of some writer's block. Thank you for your patience! It's the end of the month, please vote for the monthly ticket! (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
