"Miss, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect that Yilin's death has something to do with us?"
The beautiful woman who answered the question earlier immediately spoke rudely.
"It means exactly what it says. Besides, you know the truth."
Lianyi admitted it generously without any stage fright.
"you"
The other party was about to say something, but Henry stopped him with a melancholy expression:
"Everyone, please don't argue over me. I am very sad about Yilin's departure, and I don't want to make malicious assumptions about you. Let's just let this matter go!"
The master had already spoken, so naturally everyone couldn't make a fuss and shut up.
Lianyi looked at the bloody steak on the plate and had no desire to eat at all. This was what she thought and what she did.
"Mr. Henry, I suddenly have no appetite. I want to go for a walk outside the castle. Is that okay?"
"Of course, I'll let the servant accompany you."
Henry nodded immediately, but as the host, he couldn't leave the guests at the whole table to accompany Lianyi, so he could only let the servants accompany her.
"Hmph!" Someone snorted coldly, but Lianyi pretended not to hear it and left the castle with the butler who brought her to the restaurant.
The castle was surrounded by a circle of high walls, and the ground was covered with lush green lawns and carefully cultivated roses. Lian Yi suddenly had an idea and threw a gold coin to the servant and said directly:
"I want to ride a horse."
"Okay, Miss, please wait a moment. I'll go to the stable and get the horse."
After receiving the reward, the servant immediately ran to get the horse.
Lianyi looked at the lush flowers and plants in the yard, her eyes flickering twice. She took two steps casually and happened to see a hunchbacked gardener taking care of roses. She did not disturb him, but just stood by and watched.
"My dear guest, if you like roses, I can cut a few branches for you and have the servants put them in a vase and put them in your room."
When the wrinkled gardener noticed the ripples, he immediately said something flattering.
"No, flowers still need to grow in the soil to be beautiful. Without the nourishment of the soil, they will wither soon."
Lian Yi said meaningfully.
Although the gardener was rejected, in order to please Lianyi, he still cut a beautiful rose and handed it to Lianyi.
This time Lianyi did not refuse. After taking it, she lowered her head and sniffed it. Then she heard the sound of horse hooves behind her. It was the servant leading a white horse.
Lianyi walked over, handed the rose to the servant, and said with a smile:
"Give this rose to Miss Lacey."
"yes!"
Then Lianyi touched the neck of the white horse, turned over and rode on the horse's back. Then he clamped his legs together and whipped the horse's butt. The white horse neighed and rushed out, aiming at the gate of the castle.
"Miss."
Hearing the servant's shouting behind her, Lianyi rushed out of the castle gate without looking back. Then the scene in front of her distorted, and the next moment she was back in the castle.
"Miss, although this horse is docile, you must not go too fast. Don't trample on the rose field that the master loves most."
The butler trotted after Lianyi, talking as he ran, as if he hadn't noticed that Lianyi had rushed out of the castle.
Lianyi then pulled the horse and asked the servant to lead her around outside the castle. When she had walked enough, she returned to the castle. On the way, she met another woman who was teleported in.
The other party looked at Lianyi very vigilantly, and the butler dutifully took the two of them into the small banquet hall, where a cocktail party similar to last night began to take place.
"Ms. Ripple, Goode took you horseback riding. What do you think of Dracula's Castle?"
Henry asked as he came to Ripple's side as soon as possible.
“It’s very nice, but you can’t see the scenery outside the castle.”
Ripple said with a shrug.
"It turns out that Miss Lianyi wants to see the scenery outside the castle. It's actually not difficult. As long as you become the mistress of Dracula's Castle, you can climb the highest tower of the castle, where you can see the scenery outside the castle, and you are eligible to use the resources of the entire castle."
Henry said immediately.
"It's tempting indeed, but unfortunately I have to stay loyal to my fiancé."
Lianyi seemed a little conflicted this time. She touched the diamond ring on her right hand before refusing.
Henry's eyes flashed, and he seemed to feel the ripples loosening. He just smiled heartily, said a few words, and turned to entertain the new female guest.
At this time, Lacey came over with her skirt lifted up and whispered:
"Ms. Lianyi, thank you for the roses you gave me, but I don't dare accept them. They are Henry's favorite flowers, and he usually doesn't let us touch them. It's just you who picked one. If it was someone else, he would definitely be angry."
"Really? But I didn't pick them. The gardener picked them for me when I was walking in the yard."
Ripple said with a smile.
"Yeah?"
Lacey's face was unnatural for a moment, then she smiled and said:
"I was afraid that Henry would be unhappy, so I sent the rose to your room."
"Okay! Let's just leave it there for now!"
Lian Yi said indifferently.
The evening banquet started again. This time Lianyi did not leave early. She stayed until the end and returned to the second floor accompanied by Lacey. However, she did not go to the original guest room this time. She said directly to Lacey:
"I want to change rooms. This one is too close to the stairs. I'm afraid someone will go downstairs alone at night and wake me up if something happens. I have some neurasthenia and it's hard for me to fall asleep again after being woken up."
Lianyi put forward his request with sufficient reasons.
"sure."
Lacey said immediately.
This time Lianyi moved to the middle guest room on the second floor, which was right next to the woman who had argued with her in the morning.
"Humph! So pretentious!"
The woman glared at Lianyi and closed the door. Lianyi rewarded the servant with a gold coin, sent him away, and also closed the door.
The furnishings in this room were similar to the previous ones, except for the different orientation. Lianyi stared at the portrait on the bedside for a long time, but did not take the painting down.
When the moon disappeared in the middle of the night and the castle was plunged into darkness, the portrait above Lianyi's head suddenly moved.
The person in the painting first turned his eyes, then twisted his head, and finally his whole body popped out of the painting. His lips split, revealing a row of teeth flashing with a cold light, and his hands with sharp nails stretched out and grabbed Lianyi's neck.
Although Lianyi had her eyes closed, she had already smelled the scent of flowers mixed with the smell of blood, so when the sharp claw grabbed her neck, she suddenly opened her eyes, and as she turned her wrist, the deadly thread had already wrapped around the neck of the person in the painting.
"roar"
Before the roar could be fully uttered, the opponent's head and body had been separated. Lianyi turned over and got out of bed. He turned his wrist again, and the deadly thread wrapped around the half of the body stuck in the painting. The remaining half of the body in the painting was also pulled out.
"Mr. Gardener, it is very rude of you to appear in my room like this."
See you tomorrow! I'm almost dying of card card. Good night~
