"Knock, knock, knock--" A slow and rhythmic knock on the door sounded in the middle of the night. Everyone suddenly fell silent, staring at the door in panic.
They're all here now, who's knocking at the door?
Lan Shuang and Jiang Lusheng exchanged a glance. Jiang Lusheng stood up, walked to the door, and asked, "Who is it?"
“Dongdongdong——”
No answer, but keep knocking.
Lan Shuang narrowed her eyes.
Jiang Lusheng lazily leaned against the door with his arms folded. "Don't want to tell me? Then I won't open the door. It will tire you to death."
The knocking stopped for a moment, then started again.
"What are you doing? Are you really going to drive us crazy?" Li Weiyan pounded the table angrily. Lan Shuang raised her hand to stop him, "I'll go open the door."
"Ah? Goodbye? We don't know what's outside. What if..." Zheng Mingxin objected subconsciously.
Lan Shuang pulled her lip and said, "Open it and you'll know."
She walked to the door and raised an eyebrow at Jiang Lusheng, "I'll do it."
Jiang Lusheng didn't hesitate and gave up his seat.
Lan Shuang grasped the door handle and slowly turned it. As she moved, everyone's heart rose to their throat.
“Squeak—”
The door opened, and a familiar dead face stood in the doorway.
Everyone: “…”
"Why is it you again? Are you sick? You're not sleeping in the middle of the night and you're knocking - knocking on your ancestor's coffin?" Li Weiyan was furious when he saw this face.
"Ladies, why are you running to other people's rooms instead of resting in your own rooms? You will be punished for this." The butler had a stern face and gloomy eyes.
However, people no longer buy into his tricks.
Compared to those mysterious creatures, the butler's face is no longer as lethal.
Lan Shuang looked at him, "So you came here just to remind us to go back to our rooms?"
The butler's eyes moved slowly, and finally his gaze fixed on Lan Shuang's face.
"Sixth Miss, you will be punished. You have broken the rules of the game again."
Lan Shuang said indifferently: "Oh."
housekeeper:"……"
"It's a severe punishment."
Lan Shuang had no expression on her face: "Oh."
Butler: "...Did you listen to what I said?"
"Are you talking?" Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows in confusion. "I thought it was something farting."
Butler: “You——”
"If you have nothing to do, get out. This is my room. I can have whoever I want come. As for you, just mind your own business. You're not allowed to go out after 12 o'clock. Are you deaf or something? You forgot the rules you set? Look at the time now."
Lan Shuang spoke very quickly, and the housekeeper couldn't keep up as she opened and closed her mouth.
I could only watch her.
"If you're talking about being punished, you should be the first one to be punished. As for us—you should stay out of the business of handsome men and beautiful women!"
After saying that, she closed the door and locked the housekeeper outside.
housekeeper:"???"
Who is he and what is he doing here?
"Don't worry about him, let's just stay here for one night."
"Are you really okay?" Zheng Mingxin looked at her worriedly, "He won't cause trouble again tomorrow, will he?"
"It's already tomorrow. To be precise, today is the fourth day. There are still three days left until the seven days Rose mentioned. During this time, she will definitely add more scenes like crazy. Everyone should be vigilant at all times."
Jiang Lusheng said as he sat back on the small stool, "There shouldn't be any more trouble tonight. It's already past midnight. Everyone, please close your eyes and get some rest. We still have a tough battle to fight after daybreak."
"The bed is very big, the girls can squeeze in and sleep there. Gentlemen, just sleep on the floor." Lan Shuang took out bedding from the cabinet and spread it on the floor. During this special period, no one was pretentious. They lay down and closed their eyes even if they couldn't sleep.
