"You shouldn't reject Mr. Henry so quickly. As long as he is willing to pursue you, you will have a steady stream of gains, not only status, but also money, and even high-end equipment."
A crisp voice A female voice reached Lianyi's ears.
Lianyi turned around and saw a pretty red-haired girl with a hairband of the same color. She had a round face and big eyes. She was only 1.6 meters tall. She was wearing a Lolita tutu skirt. Birds cling to people.
"Really? I don't know! No one reminded me. If I had known, I wouldn't have rejected Mr. Henry."
Although Ripple said it was a pity, there was no trace of regret in his tone. No regrets.
"Of course they won't remind you, you are a very strong competitor."
"Really! I also think I have this strength."
Lianyi stroked his own The black-haired man said with a smile.
This time the red-haired girl did not answer, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
"What about you? Don't you want to please Mr. Henry? Although you are worse than me, you are much better than those people."
Ripple glanced at the red-haired girl and raised her eyebrows.
"I am a distant relative of Mr. Henry, and I am just here as a guest. My name is Lacey, what about you?"
"Just call me Ripple."
" Nice to meet you, Miss Ripple!"
"Miss Lacey, when will the reception end?"
Ripple asked with a yawn. She thought this kind of occasion was the most boring.
“I’ll ask the valet to take you to the guest room to rest. The reception will last for half a month. The guests come from different places and arrive at different times, so the castle has prepared many guest rooms. "
Lacie said with a smile.
“Okay, thank you!”
Laisi waved, and the valet who had brought Ripple into the reception came in. After listening to Lai Xi’s instructions, he took her respectfully. Leaving the reception with ripples.
The two walked through the long corridor one after another. After reaching the second floor, the valet opened the door of a guest room near the stairs:
"Miss Lianyi, this is your room. Today Please rest here tonight."
"Okay, thank you."
Lianyi directly threw a gold coin to the other party, and then asked with a smile:
"I. I heard that there are some taboos in castles with a long history. Is there any in Dracula’s Castle? ”
The manservant received the gold coins and was very happy. He carefully stuffed the gold coins into his sleeves. When he heard Ripple's question, he lowered his voice and said:
"Miss Ripple, all the lights in the castle have gone out. No matter what sound you hear, please do not leave the room or go to the third floor of the castle. No one is allowed to go up there except members of the Dracula family."
"I understand. , thank you for reminding me, I will stay in the room obediently."
"Okay, I won't disturb the lady's rest."
The male servant bowed. , he exited the guest room and closed the door thoughtfully.
Lianyi locked the door directly, then walked around the guest room, looking at the portrait hanging on the bedside, she hooked the corners of her lips, took off her shoes, stepped on the bed, and lifted the heavy portrait with one hand. The painting was taken down.
Then he threw the entire frame directly into an empty closet, and wrapped the handle of the closet with life-threatening thread. Then he went to the bathroom, took a nice bath, and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, there was a woman's scream echoing in the corridor, and there seemed to be the sound of the door opening, and then there were the sounds of messy footsteps. These did not affect Ripple's rest, but he was taken away in the second half of the night. The cabinet with the thread of life around it moved twice, as if something was about to rush out of the cabinet.
Lianyi then opened his eyes and said impatiently:
“It’s really disturbing your dreams!”
She turned her wrist, and as if she had received instructions, she branched out one of the life-threatening threads and went directly into the cabinet. After a scream of "roar", there was no movement in the cabinet.
Lianyi turned over and continued to sleep.
Waiting for Lianyi to wake up naturally, then she got up to wash up. Then she heard a knock on the door:
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, Miss Lianyi. "I'm here to bring you new clothes." It was the valet from last night.
Lianyi opened the door and saw two maids following the male servant. They both lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Lianyi. Each of them had a tray in their hands with exquisite Chinese clothes inside. Obviously, It was sent to Ripple to wear.
“Come in!”
Lianyi waved her hand casually, and the manservant led the two of them into the room.
"Let the two of them serve the lady to change clothes, and then I will take you to the restaurant to eat."
After the manservant finished speaking, he exited the room, but before closing the door, he specifically looked at the direction of the bed.
With the help of two maids, Ripple put on this maroon dress three layers inside and outside, then lifted the hem of the skirt and went to the restaurant on the first floor.
Henry was radiant and had changed into a navy blue dress. He was sitting on the main seat. There were a variety of meals on the long table in front of him. Ten people were already seated. They were all beauties who attended the cocktail party last night. After seeing the ripples, everyone had a different expression.
Henry's eyes lit up at the main seat, and he asked with a smile:
"Miss Lianyi, did you have a good rest last night?"
Henry stood up as he asked, and in a very gentlemanly manner helped Ripple pull out the chair and let her sit down.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Henry. I went to bed early last night, but I seemed to hear a scream in the middle of the night. I don't know if I heard it wrong."
After Ripple finished speaking, she asked Lacey, who was sitting opposite her:
"Miss Lacey, did you hear that?"
"Hey! Someone went out to find food in the middle of the night. , and then missed the step and fell from the second floor, which alarmed the guests.”
Lacey said helplessly.
"That's it! When I went up to the second floor, I did find that the stairs were quite long. I wonder if the person was seriously injured?"
"She broke her neck."
< br>Lacie could only say helplessly.
“Dead?”
Ripple pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, covering her mouth.
"What's all the fuss about? Who asked her to go downstairs alone? If she had called the valet and lit the lamp and went downstairs, no accident would have happened."
一A beautiful woman said disdainfully.
"I am deeply sorry for Yilin's departure. I have sent the housekeeper to transport her body away and made compensation to her family. May she rest in peace."
Henry said sadly.
"Mr. Henry, is Miss Irene your favorite wife?"
Ripple did not accept the previous woman's words, but asked Henry.
“I have a good impression of Miss Yilin. Last night we admired the moon together. She promised to stay in the castle for a few more days. In the end, I personally sent her back to the room. Unexpectedly, it was only for one night. Such a sad thing happened."
Henry said helplessly.
“If Mr. Henry likes Miss Yilin so much, why don’t you give her a few more pieces of equipment? It’s because your love is not strong enough. Otherwise, why wouldn’t you spend more money even though you know your loved one is in danger? Mind protection.”
Lianyi said sharply.
"Miss Lianyi, how do I know she will leave the room in the middle of the night?"
Henry said a little aggrievedly.
"Mr. Henry, they all want to be your wife. Before you decide on the final candidate, one less person means one less competitor. What do you think they will do?"
