After collecting the papers, Rose laughed, "It's the fifth day, let's try something different. We won't reveal the answers today. You can tell whether you're correct or not by looking at the points in your hand. Remember to keep it a secret, after all, your points can be plundered now~"
After the words were spoken, everyone's expressions became even weirder.
Liu Quan and the others sat for a while and then left one after another.
Lan Shuang looked down at her wrist, which had "111" written on it.
111 points, obviously her answer was correct, Miss Six died of suicide.
Is it because of a crash?
Lan Shuang seemed to be lost in thought. She stood up and said to the others, "I'm going back to my room to look for clues. What about you guys?"
Mu Tiao also stood up and said, "I have to go back to my room. Just now, the servant bumped into the wine glass and the wine spilled all over me. I will go change and come back to you."
"good."
The others also went back to their rooms to look for things. Lan Shuang guessed that they might have realized something from this question.
After returning to her room, Lan Shuang found the notebook she had forgotten and began to read it carefully.
Most of the information that followed was useless, and she remembered it was all just a diary, so she hadn't read it carefully before. She turned the pages one by one, and through the thin paper, she seemed to have read through the short life of Miss Six.
"We have guests over today, and Mom and Dad asked us to go out and meet them. I wonder why they've been coming so frequently lately?"
"I feel like they look at us in such a strange way, as if they are picking out their favorite dolls. Yes, that's the feeling. I really don't like them."
"I feel like Big Brother is spying on me. I don't know why, but I just have this feeling. Every time I look over, Big Brother doesn't seem to be anything unusual. Maybe I'm overthinking it?"
"Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Aren't we their daughters?"
Seeing this, Lan Shuang's gaze froze. This sentence... Could it be that Miss Six discovered something?
Was it the time when He Ping sneaked into the eldest lady’s room?
But why only one sentence?
She flipped through the pages, and it was all blank, as if the diary ended there.
However, some intuition guided her to continue turning the pages. Finally, after turning two-thirds of the page, she saw another sentence, which was crooked and seemed to have taken her back to her childhood.
"Everyone here has gone crazy. I told my third sister about this and she's devastated. She wants to escape and I must help her. Luckily, Xiao Qi is on our side too. We're sure we can get out."
"Hopefully we won't be discovered."
The last word was so distorted that Lan Shuang took a lot of effort to make out what it was. She stared at the diary and fell into deep thought.
So what happens next is that the three of them escape and then fail?
With a "click", the door was suddenly opened from the outside. Lan Shuang looked up and saw Wen Qingqing standing at the door looking at her, holding the teddy bear backpack tightly in one hand.
Seeing Lan Shuang looking at her, she timidly called out, "Lan Shuang, I have a new discovery that may be important to you. Can you let me in? I'm scared."
Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, come in."
Wen Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled shyly, then closed the door and walked towards her. Seeing her reading the diary, she whispered, "Are there any clues in it?"
"Come to think of it, I also found a diary, and the things in it are related to you."
Lan Shuang became interested and asked, "Let me see it?"
"Yeah." Wen Qingqing took out a calendar from her bag and handed it to her. "Aren't you going to ask why I came to see you suddenly? Do you...don't mind?"
Lan Shuang took the diary without looking at her and started flipping through it.
"It's human nature, there's nothing to worry about. It doesn't affect me anyway." Lan Shuang said casually, "But if it's not good for me, I won't be so magnanimous."
"I see..." Wen Qingqing sat down beside her, slowly approached, and read the diary with her in her hand. "I just flipped through two pages, and I feel that the relationship between Miss Six and Miss Seven is very strange."
Lan Shuang seemed to be concentrating on reading the diary, without even looking up. "Why is it strange?"
Wen Qingqing slowly reached into her bag, lowered her head, her hair covering half of her face, and whispered, "Only one of them can survive..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly pulled out her hand and stabbed Lan Shuang's neck hard.
Lan Shuang was prepared and used her backhand to block her neck with the diary as thick as a brick.
The fruit knife stabbed in hard, but only the tip of the knife could penetrate and could not move forward any further.
"You react quickly."
Wen Qingqing gritted her teeth, pulled out the knife, and stabbed Lan Shuang at a different angle. Lan Shuang rolled on the ground, raised her hand to grab her wrist, and twisted it back fiercely. Their eyes met, and Lan Shuang smiled, "You can't hide your fox tail anymore? Rose, your acting is still as poor as ever."
"You figured it out." Wen Qingqing also laughed, changing her previous timid look.
Lan Shuang shook her head, squatted on the ground, and swept out with her other leg. Wen Qingqing's body fell backwards, rolled twice on the ground, and retreated to the door.
"You're not Wen Qingqing. No, or rather, there was no such person as Wen Qingqing from the beginning. You were the one directing and acting in this whole thing from beginning to end."
Lan Shuang stood up holding the fruit knife she had snatched back.
Pointing the tip of the knife at Wen Qingqing, he said in a deep voice, "The story of Rose Manor seems to revolve around the perspective of the Sixth Miss, but the real protagonist is you, the Seventh Miss, right?"
However, Rose did not answer her this time. She maintained Wen Qingqing's face, tilted her head and smiled at her, then her figure suddenly disappeared, as if she had never been there.
“Hahahahahaha——”
The playful voice echoed in the corridor on the second floor and fell into everyone's ears.
Jiang Lusheng's eyes flashed, and he pushed the door open and walked out, only to see Lan Shuang standing at his door, raising her hand as if she was about to knock on the door.
"Why are you here?"
"There's something wrong with Wen Qingqing!" Lan Shuang said in a low voice with a stern expression, "I suspect she's Rose. She just came to my room and was about to stab me with a fruit knife, but I caught her red-handed."
Jiang Lusheng narrowed his eyes. "I've doubted her before. Her presence is so weak. She often seems invisible. But when answering questions, she subtly maintains a state where if everyone agrees with her, she's right, and if everyone agrees with her, she's wrong."
Lan Shuang nodded. "I just read the diary. Her character is planning to escape today. Let's follow her and see if we can trigger a new plot."
Jiang Lusheng's eyes flickered slightly, "Okay."
The two of them immediately turned around and ran downstairs.
At the same time, Mu Tiao's door opened quietly.
She was wearing a blue dress and walked forward with an expressionless face, holding a piece of paper in her hand.
Doors opened one after another, and people passed by each other in the corridor, but it seemed as if they could not see each other. No one spoke, and only the chaotic sound of footsteps could be heard in the corridor.
