Chapter 175 Three Months
Scarlett stopped briefly at Lanton Street and finally went to the Yarna Theater, where she casually took out a few low-quality ores and handed them to Mergard.
Mergard weighed the ore in his hand and looked at Scarlett meaningfully.
There was a hint of murderous intent in his shrewd eyes. "Scarlett, I heard you went to Lanxi Street this afternoon?"
Scarlett was stunned, but did not deny it. "Yes."
"What are you going there for?"
"I want to buy a store to do business."
"Business?"
Murgaard's brows rose and fell, then calmed down. "Are you going to stay here for a long time?"
Scarlett's eyes were a little dull, and she said subconsciously: "I don't plan to move."
First reactions can't be fooled.
Even though the answer was irrelevant, Murgaard's expression softened. He laughed and asked, "You went to the jewelry recycling store near Langton Street? What did you do there?"
Scarlett felt a little guilty when answering this question. She scratched the back of her head, glanced at the ore in Mergaard's hand, and said hesitantly, "Look, look at the ore."
Murgaard raised an eyebrow, his expression knowingly tinged with a hint of sarcasm. "You're worried that the price I give you isn't the highest, so you're comparing prices, right?"
Scarlett's cheeks flushed with heat after her secret was exposed. She smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, hehe, haha, hehe..."
Mergad was most annoyed by her commoner look, so he took the money and told her to leave.
He looked an eyesore.
Scarlett took the money and walked without stopping.
As soon as she left, Louisa, who had been hiding in the dark, came out.
Murgaard gave her a displeased look and said angrily, "She's still called the Imperial Princess? Anyone I can grab is better than her!"
Louisa frowned, “Listen to me, she is definitely pretending!”
"Pretending? Well, she's pretty good at it!"
Murgad rolled his eyes, full of sarcasm.
Louisa was speechless.
This Murgad is like a stinky stone in the toilet, smelly and hard, without any brains at all. If she didn't want to use his power to find the 12 wanted criminals, she would not bother to talk nonsense with him!
Louisa calmed down and said, "If you don't believe me, forget it. But if anything happens on Lanton Street in the future, don't blame me for not warning you!"
There was a threat in his tone.
Mergaard sneered, his eyes gnawing at Louisa's face. "Don't worry, nothing will happen on Lanton Street. You should take care of yourself first! Officer Louisa!"
…
…
Scarlett broke out in a cold sweat again.
When I rode my bike back, I was freezing cold.
Only when she got home and saw her beastly husband did she feel a little relieved.
Mo Ting and Zhe Ke are reclaiming the front yard.
Ashley and Brian are cooking.
Riley and Tyron are cleaning.
Chiye and Holst are cultivating the backyard.
The whole family is happy.
Scarlett looked at it with a sore eye.
This is the down-to-earth atmosphere of human life.
…
…
The next day, Scarlett went to work, and this was the last point she wanted to confirm.
Who is Isabel?
Just arrived at Fule Manor.
Following the instructions of the second lady Isabel, Minnie came to invite her to the room.
Scarlett followed Minnie.
Along the way, Minnie kept nagging and saying a lot, roughly meaning that she must be careful, that the second young lady was stubborn and had a bad temper, but had no bad intentions, and that she just had to be patient.
Pushing open the intricate and gorgeous door, Isabel was sitting in front of the dressing table at the back of the room, surrounded by maids who were helping her comb her hair.
"Oh, you clumsy guy! I don't want you anymore!"
"You too! My hair is chestnut brown, what are you doing here with a black wig? Go change it!"
"And you! You get scolded by me every day, and you're such a fool!"
Finally, Isabel couldn't stand it anymore. She swept everything off the dressing table and shouted at everyone, "Get out! All of you get out!"
Everyone left the room.
Minnie smiled at Scarlett and reminded her again: "Scarlett, remember, be patient."
Scarlett was silent for a moment, walked into the room, and hung up a soundproofing device as she closed the door.
She picked up the tailor's wooden ruler from the ground and tapped it on her palm as she walked towards Isabel.
Isabel was still looking in the mirror at the right pearls to wear on her head, completely unaware of the approaching danger.
It wasn't until a chill descended from the sky, enveloping her completely, that she raised her head, looking at the condescending person and the wooden ruler in her hand. Her eyes paused, and then she burst into tears, "Cousin! It really is you! I'm so glad to see you!"
She hugged Scarlett's waist and cried and shouted.
Her snot and tears were all over her clothes.
Scarlett, holding a wooden ruler and about to scare Isabel: "..."
After crying for about ten minutes, Isabel finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her loud crying turned into sobbing, and she was finally able to speak normally.
Scarlett looked at the face that looked exactly like Anne's. "Are you Isabel? When did you change your name?"
Isabel.
No, it was Annie. She raised her eyebrows, curled her lips, and said, "Cousin, I didn't change my name. The owner of the manor did."
"Manor owner?"
"right!"
Annie lifted her puffy skirt and sat on the ground, saying, "The owner's daughter died, but her daughter is married to a wealthy businessman, which involves the family's interests. She dared not tell anyone. Seeing that I look 80% like her daughter, she chose me to be her daughter in an attempt to get away with it."
Scarlett searched her mind for some memories of the Froeh Manor.
Her original body had only arrived two months ago.
Apart from knowing that the owner of Fule Manor made his fortune from a farmer, I know nothing else.
Scarlett didn't want to waste too much time, so she asked the most important question, "Annie, how long have you been here?"
Annie counted on her fingers, "Half a year."
"So long?"
Scarlett was a little surprised, and felt that there was something wrong with the mission in this dimension.
We checked each other's tasks together.
I found that except for the number of days of survival, everything else remained unchanged.
That is to say.
Each team arrives here at a different time, but the end time is the same. If they don't break through within this time period, everyone will die here.
"Annie, did you get any useful information here?"
"No."
Anne's face was solemn. "I can't leave the manor. My range of movement is very limited. I can only stay in my room and the garden behind. And I have to go to the restaurant for dinner when the owner summons me. I only found out that my brother-in-law is here when I occasionally heard Minnie mention that there was a new slave with strange clothes..."
"cousin."
Anne grabbed Scarlett's hand, about to cry, "Can you help me rescue Toby and the others? I can't get out, and I'm worried about them. Toby just recovered not long ago, if he encounters danger again, I'm worried he will die..."
Scarlett looked into Anne's red eyes and found it hard to refuse.
It just so happened that she also needed help.
She held Annie's hand in hers and said, "Okay, cousin, help you rescue them."
"Thank you, cousin."
It is better to save people as soon as possible. Annie stopped crying and read out the address and the beastly husband's name on the screen one by one.
When Scarlett heard this, her eyes changed a little.
After a brief pause, things quickly returned to normal.
She stroked Annie's hair and said softly, "Annie, play your role well. Don't move if you are not sure. Do you understand?"
Anne nodded, knowing that the world was becoming increasingly dangerous.
She looked at Scarlett and said, "Cousin, you should also be careful."
Scarlett secretly handed Anne a tranquilizer gun and a miniature pistol and said, "Shoot if you feel threatened. Don't be afraid."
"besides."
Scarlett gave her the golden pearl as well.
It was getting late, and Scarlett didn't dare stay too long for fear of arousing suspicion.
Just as she was about to leave, Anne suddenly remembered something from her messy memories and said quickly, "Cousin, three months ago, the owner's eldest daughter, Elizabeth, also died."
