Chapter 657: It's just artificial
Lianyi's move startled the women sitting around the long dining table. They all stood up and subconsciously held their usual weapons in their hands, including swords, spears, swords and halberds.
Lian Yi smiled and said to the female players who were looking at her warily:
"I hate it most when people falsely accuse me. If I have done something, I will admit it. If I haven't done it, I haven't done it!"
After saying that, Lianyi turned her gaze to Henry who was looking at her mysteriously:
"Now there happens to be a ready-made template. Mr. Henry can ask someone to verify it to see if Rowling's neck and this person's neck were broken by the same person."
"Ms. Lianyi, they are all my guests. You are embarrassing me by doing this."
Henry said lightly.
"Humph! I haven't even told you that you're not hospitable enough, but you're already blaming me!
Someone dies every night, and you can still continue flirting with other women with a clear conscience. You are really careless. I don’t know about other things, but wasn’t Rowling, who died last night, with you the whole night?
What did you promise her? Points or equipment? Or something she needed urgently, so she agreed to be with you? It wasn't you who went to her room last night?"
Facing Lianyi's questioning, Henry's face changed, then returned to normal, and he said with a little sadness:
"Miss Lianyi, I hope you won't make groundless guesses. I've sent people to the town to find the sheriff. They should have left by now and will arrive at the castle soon. They will definitely give everyone an explanation, so please be patient!"
The first half of Henry's sentence was addressed to Lianyi, but the latter part was to comfort everyone.
"So, I can only do something to protect myself when I am suspected without any reason. I hope Mr. Henry will forgive my recklessness. I came here alone and I am still very scared."
Lianyi patted his chest in a pretentious manner, saying that he was also very scared, but it would have been more convincing if there wasn't a corpse with a broken neck next to him.
Henry's eyelids twitched, and he could only smile helplessly and said tolerantly:
"Miss Lianyi, since you are a guest, I will not pursue this matter. I hope you can stay in the castle peacefully and don't do such scary things again."
"Of course, if no one bothers me, I won't bother to care."
Lianyi touched her long black hair and said calmly.
"The breakfast is so greasy. I don't have an appetite at all. I don't know how you guys managed to eat it."
Lianyi glanced at the bloody steak on the table and said with disgust.
"I'll ask the kitchen to send some snacks to Miss Ripple."
Henry said immediately, then glanced at the silent Lacey and motioned her to do it.
Lacey immediately stood up, walked over with a smile and said:
"Miss Lianyi, I'll take you to the kitchen. You can tell the chef directly what you want to eat."
After Lianyi and Lacey left, servants immediately carried the woman's body away, and Henry said apologetically:
"I'm sorry! I frightened you all. I didn't handle the situation properly. I will give everyone here 10,000 points as compensation."
As Henry finished speaking, a "ding ding" reminder sounded, telling everyone present that 10,000 points had been credited to their accounts, and everyone's faces looked better.
Henry then took the beauties to the small garden for a meal, and made a new table of delicious food to apologize to everyone, thus making the matter known.
On the other side, Lacey took Lianyi to the kitchen with a sweet smile and asked the cook who was good at making snacks to make some baked cheese and biscuits. Then the two of them started chatting in the kitchen while smelling the aroma of the baking biscuits.
"Ms. Lacy, were you scared by what happened just now?"
"That's true, but I can understand Miss Lianyi's feelings. If I were wronged, I wouldn't be happy either, and I don't have the courage to fight back like you."
Lacey whispered.
"Do you know why they deliberately targeted me?"
"It's because of Henry's attitude towards you. Although you clearly stated that you have a fiancé, Henry seems to like you very much and has confessed his love to you again and again. They think there is a high possibility that you will be chosen, so they are targeting you."
Lacey said helplessly.
"Ah! Jealousy makes people twisted! But I can understand that people like me who combine beauty and wisdom do attract envy."
Lian Yi said shamelessly.
Lacey picked up the teacup, took a sip of the black tea, and did not comment on Lianyi's words.
"By the way, on my first night here, someone reminded me not to go out to watch the fun at night no matter what I heard, and they also told me not to go to the third floor. I'm very curious, what's on the third floor of the castle, do you know?"
Lianyi blinked and immediately changed the subject.
Lacey almost spit out the tea in her mouth. She immediately wiped the corner of her lips with a napkin and said in a deliberately low voice:
"Miss Lianyi, I advise you not to be too curious. I have never been to the third floor. Only Henry can go up there, and he can only bring his chosen wife up there. There are no exceptions."
"That's a shame, I thought there was some secret hidden in it!"
Lian Yi said meaningfully.
Lacey still didn't respond.
Lianyi saw that she couldn’t get anything out of him, so she ate two cookies and then took Lacey for a walk outside the castle.
"Huh? Did they change the gardener? The gardener who gave me the red roses yesterday is gone?"
Lianyi said as she looked at the middle-aged man who was tending to the rose field.
"He is the son of the old gardener, and today he officially takes over his father's job."
Lacey explained with a smile, then raised her voice:
"Wander, pick a red rose and give it to me!"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man who was tending the flower field cut off a red rose and walked over to hand it to Lianyi.
Lianyi glanced at the other person, took the flower with a smile, put it under her nose and smelled it, and said with a smile:
“The fragrance of this flower is even stronger!”
"Yes! This is the season when roses are in full bloom. Every year at this time, the castle is surrounded by the rich fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel relaxed and happy."
Wan De said with fascination.
"I look forward to smelling the fragrance you mentioned when the roses in the garden are in full bloom."
"Miss, I'm sure you will."
Wande glanced at Lianyi and turned back to continue pruning the branches.
The banquet continued that night, but Lianyi chose another guest room for herself because she didn't want to face these hypocritical women, and didn't want to live across from the room where someone had died. Lacey smiled along the whole time and didn't have any objections.
In the middle of the night, the painting hanging on the head of the bed moved again, and its sharp claws stretched out and headed straight for Lianyi's heart.
Lianyi didn't even open her eyes, she raised her hand and grabbed the other person's wrist, then used her strength to pull the huge monster out of the portrait. Then she exerted force again and threw the other person against the door. Before the other person could get up, she kicked him and the door out together.
Then Lianyi cleared her throat and screamed miserably:
"Ah! Someone come quickly!! There's a monster eating people!!!"
