Because of this, everyone lost their appetite at dinner time and barely touched the food on the table. The housekeeper seemed very unhappy about this and walked directly to Li Weiyan and asked, "Miss, why did you only drink a little soup? Is the food tonight not to your taste?"
Li Weiyan felt unlucky when he saw him. Just as he was about to scold him, Lan Shuang put down her fork, tapped the edge of the plate, and gave him a look.
Li Weiyan held back his desire and said through gritted teeth, "No, I don't want to eat."
"Ah...I see. But if you don't eat and your health is not good, and you fail the physical examination, the mistress and the master will be angry. Disobedient children will be punished. As the eldest daughter, shouldn't you set an example for your younger sisters?"
Li Weiyan immediately pointed at Pei Jinzhi when he heard this, "She's still the eldest brother, why don't you say anything about her?"
Pei Jinzhi didn't say anything and looked at the housekeeper. Unexpectedly, the housekeeper just glanced at her and then looked away, saying coldly: "The eldest young master is the eldest young master, you are different."
The others found it very strange to hear this. Could it be that the people in this manor still favored boys over girls?
Lan Shuang immediately realized what was happening and asked the housekeeper, "But isn't Big Brother the oldest among us?"
The housekeeper looked at her as if she was a fool. "Of course the eldest young master is the oldest. Alright, you should eat more food to replenish your brain. If you can't even remember such a small thing, you will be laughed at if you tell others about it."
Lan Shuang exchanged glances with the others.
Since the eldest brother played by Pei Jinzhi is the oldest, even if they favor boys over girls, why do they have so many daughters when they already have an eldest son?
This question has been lingering in Lan Shuang's mind. After dinner, no one wanted to go upstairs, so they just stayed in the living room, either sitting on the sofa or walking around in the living room.
Gao Yaozu scratched his head. "I don't think we can continue like this. Strange things keep happening one after another. I'm really afraid I won't live to see the last day."
He smiled bitterly, "My granddaughter is waiting for me at home."
Looking at his gray hair, everyone fell silent. He was the oldest and the least talkative one here. Perhaps it was due to his life experience, but he had a simplicity and generosity that none of them had.
It is really heartbreaking to see such a person being drawn into this game of life and death.
"Yeah, my parents are still waiting for me. I didn't want to go to school before, but now you give me the chance to get out of here. I will study hard and never come to this damn place again." Li Weiyan looked annoyed, covering his face with his hands and leaning back on the sofa.
Liu Quan paced back and forth with his hands in his pockets. "There are still too few clues in this game. They say we need to find our own identity information to restore the plot, but our movements are restricted most of the time. How can we find clues?"
Lan Shuang's eyes slowly swept across every corner of the living room. When they landed on the housekeeper's closed door, a sudden idea came to her mind.
Since NPCs can restrict their activities, why can't they restrict NPCs in return?
I wonder if that pill works on NPCs?
She turned to Jiang Lusheng and hooked her finger. "I need to go to the bathroom. I'm a little scared. Please come with me."
Jiang Lusheng stood up with a smile, "Okay."
"Which bathroom?" Zheng Mingxin looked at her nervously.
Lan Shuang pointed to the one next to the kitchen.
Zheng Mingxin's face immediately turned pale, "You still dare to go?"
Lan Shuang spread her hands and said, "This is close to the living room. If we go to the second floor, it will be even scarier."
Zheng Mingxin looked upstairs and saw that the doors of the rooms on the second floor were all open. Looking around, he saw a pitch-black hole, as if it was waiting for them to fall into a trap.
She was frightened by her own imagination, shuddered, and quickly lowered her head.
Lan Shuang had already pulled Jiang Lusheng into the lounge. Jiang Lusheng stood at the door holding it, not afraid that the door would suddenly close this time.
He looked at Lan Shuang standing in front of the bathroom door and raised his eyebrows: "Do you have something to say to me?"
Lan Shuang nodded: "I can't hide it from you. I was just thinking, that white drug works on us, will it work on the housekeeper as well?"
Jiang Lusheng was startled, then frowned and thought, "In the game, since he plays the role of a butler, he is in the same world as our characters, so the same props should be effective for him."
"Are you planning to knock the butler unconscious?"
Lan Shuang nodded, a cunning glint in her eyes. "If the butler fainted, we can get a lot of clues, such as the key to the warehouse where the shovel is kept, and the clues in his room."
Jiang Lusheng was silent for a while after listening to this, then smiled and said, "I think it's feasible. It's just that the process is probably very exciting."
Lan Shuang shrugged. "Hasn't it been exciting enough since we came here?"
Jiang Lusheng looked at her fearless and excited little appearance, and his heart began to itch. He turned his head to look at the people in the living room and suddenly closed the door.
Lan Shuang was puzzled: "Why did you close the door?"
Jiang Lusheng put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms, whispering to her ear, "Do what couples should do."
The moment the warm lips touched her, Lan Shuang sighed. She had been in this crappy game for too long, and everything she saw now seemed unreal. But this wet and hot kiss brought her back to life.
At least the person in front of me is real and unchanging.
That's enough.
The two separated after not much time of kissing. After all, there were so many people outside who were worried, and it would not be good for them to be too presumptuous.
Jiang Lusheng rubbed Lan Shuang's lips with his thumb, stepped back and calmed his breathing, "Okay, let's go."
"Yeah." The two of them went back one after the other. No one paid much attention to them. They were more concerned about their own lives now. As the night grew darker, everyone became visibly nervous.
"Dear players, it's now nine o'clock in the evening. You can wash up and go back to your rooms to rest. I also want to remind you not to go out after midnight, otherwise you will encounter terrible things and be punished. So, please obey the rules and protect your own safety."
Lan Shuang stood up first, "Okay, go back and rest so you can be energetic tomorrow."
She walked towards the stairs. The others looked at her in surprise, "How could you sleep?"
Lan Shuang walked up the stairs. "Is there a choice?"
Everyone: “…”
Yes, is there a choice?
Lan Shuang gave them another heart-wrenching blow, "If you don't come upstairs soon, the housekeeper will come and kick you out, right?"
As soon as the words fell, the remaining nine people stood up at the same time.
Lan Shuang: “…”
The housekeeper is still useful.
Ten minutes later, everyone returned to their rooms and the living room suddenly became empty.
The butler slowly came out of his room and walked up the stairs step by step.
The leather shoes made a "click", "click", "click" sound on it.
Lan Shuang was brushing her teeth and looking in the mirror, her heart beating rapidly.
She was not afraid, but excited about the next plan.
