The light around her dimmed again. Mu Tiao was startled. The familiar creepy feeling appeared again. She slowly turned her head and saw a man on the bed.
Mu Tiao: “…”
Your plot is quite clever.
Before he could think too much, the door was suddenly opened forcefully from the outside. The lady's delicately painted face and fiery red lips were exceptionally eye-catching. When she saw the man lying on Mu Tiao's bed, the lady's facial features twisted into an expression of "as expected".
"I knew it, I knew it!" Madam pointed at Mu Tiao, her fingers trembling. "I knew something was wrong from his attitude towards you. So many people wanted to buy you, but he refused to sell you. Sure enough, he was hooking up with you behind my back."
The lady opened her mouth to curse, but when she saw the master open his eyes, she swallowed her words back.
"Why are you here?"
The master saw that the person at the door was unusually calm, as if he didn't care at all that he was caught in bed with someone else.
The servants lowered their heads and dared not speak. The lady glared at him: "A dog will always eat shit. Why don't you get up quickly?"
The master snorted and slowly stood up from the bed. Mu Tiao subconsciously closed his eyes, fearing that he would see something eye-catching.
Mu Tiao opened his eyes only after everyone got off the bed, and then he met the master's meaningful gaze.
Be a decent person in front of your wife!
Although she also disliked the lady, she was a woman after all, and at this time she could better understand the psychological feelings of women.
"Just wait for me, you little bitch."
The lady left with her people after making some harsh remarks. It seemed that she still had some concerns in front of the master.
Mu Tiao didn't expect that the matter would end like this. He thought there would be a big fuss.
The master followed his wife out, and soon the sound of the two arguing could be heard in the corridor. "Even rabbits don't eat grass near their nests. You are worse than an animal."
"What position do you have to stand here and accuse me now?"
The master scoffed, "Don't forget your origins."
The lady was suddenly speechless, and the footsteps in the corridor were heard again, gradually fading away.
Mu Tiao gently pushed the door open and took a look. There was no one in the corridor.
She turned back and called the people out.
"Did you hear the master's last words?"
Mu Tiao asked thoughtfully.
Lan Shuang and Jiang Lusheng exchanged a glance. "I didn't hear anything. What did you say?"
Mu Tiao sat down beside the bed and said, "He and his wife were arguing in the corridor just now. He told her not to forget her origins. I think this sentence should be some kind of hint. After he said it, his wife fell silent."
"Background?" Pei Jinzhi stood by the bathroom door, his knuckles resting on his chin. He suddenly raised his finger and asked, "Does he mean that Madam is the same as the Fifth Miss? Was she also adopted and then sold?"
"Huh?" Li Weiyan was surprised. "That's impossible. If she also came from such a background, how could she be so indifferent to a girl who had the same experience as herself? She even went from being a victim to being the perpetrator."
"Because human nature is inherently complex, not everyone has a heart as passionate as yours." Lan Shuang agreed with Pei Jinzhi's statement. "Maybe she really did go through this before, but for her, maybe marrying a rich man with this background is not a bad thing, so she acts so superior and looks down on those who resist."
"These people's hearts are so evil." Gao Yaozu stood aside and sighed, obviously unable to understand.
"Let's not discuss human nature for now, let's look at me first." Mu Tiao spread his hands: "Madam has discovered me... No, she has discovered the relationship between the fifth lady and the master. Is she going to take action against the fifth lady next?"
"According to previous clues, Miss Fifth's body is still buried in the garden. This means that I will be shot by her soon."
Mu Tiao felt a chill at the thought.
"So for the next period of time, you'd better stay with us and don't act alone."
Lan Shuang began to rummage through the bedside table, and the others were not idle either. Their current task was to find all the identity information so that they would not be completely in the dark in the following plot.
Soon the noon time passed and everyone gathered in the living room downstairs again.
The others saw that Lan Shuang and the others were very silent and didn't say anything. When they sat down, the five of them sat together, as if drawing a clear line between themselves and Lan Shuang and the others.
Li Weiyan's face turned very ugly when he saw this scene. He felt betrayed. He originally wanted to ask them if they encountered anything strange at noon, but now he was not in the mood.
Jiang Lusheng glanced at them, turned around and gave Lan Shuang a look, and Lan Shuang stood up and followed him to a secluded place.
"Their attitudes changed so quickly."
Jiang Lusheng leaned against the wall, his tone casual but his eyes dark.
Lan Shuang nodded. "I suspect Rose is behind this. She might have said something to them without us knowing. Trust is inherently weak in this kind of game. If it's exploited by the system, it could easily turn into enmity."
"Be careful in your next moves, especially from behind." Jiang Lusheng hinted at something. Lan Shuang met his gaze and nodded in understanding.
Neither the mistress nor the master spoke during dinner. The atmosphere at the table was so heavy that it was suffocating. After dinner, everyone left without staying for a moment.
Mu Tiao originally wanted to leave, but thinking of Lan Shuang's instructions, he turned around and went to wait on the sofa, waiting for everyone to finish eating before going upstairs together.
"Everyone come to my room tonight and the five of us can squeeze in together." Lan Shuang glanced at the other four people. Everyone had no objection and followed her in.
However, the night was unexpectedly calm and nothing happened. The three girls slept on the bed and the three men slept on the floor. When they woke up, they looked at each other and were all a little surprised.
After washing up, they sat at the dining table on time, and after eating, it was time to answer questions.
"How did everyone sleep last night? Not bad, right?" Rose's tone sounded like a naughty little girl. "Don't worry, you can still get a good night's sleep tonight, so that you can face tomorrow's Rose Feast in the best spirit."
"Now, start answering the questions. Today's points are still 1,000~"
Lan Shuang picked up the paper and looked at the fifth question: How will you die?
Lan Shuang: “…”
He really didn't hide it at all. What? Can he order food by himself?
The others' faces also turned green.
"What do you mean? Let us curse ourselves? Isn't that too unlucky?"
Liu Quan looked up in dissatisfaction.
Li Weiyan sarcastically said, "Are you too immersed in the role? People are asking about the character."
Liu Quan choked and touched his nose awkwardly.
The others didn't say anything, just communicated with their eyes.
Soon, everyone picked up their pens and wrote down their answers.
Lan Shuang thought about her experiences so far and hesitated to write down the word "suicide".
