Chapter III, Section 6

The case ended with the Viscountess secretly raising a few lovers outside because she was jealous of the Viscount, murdering her husband, and committing suicide in fear of crime. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Grandma Betty paused and said, "But since the day of the murder, strange things have happened in the villa. It is said that late every night, the sound of people walking on the wooden floor can be heard in the hallway. There was a bold servant who suspected that a thief had sneaked in to steal something, and went out to check it, only to be gone. The next morning they found the corridor covered with mud footprints, and the dead servant was found in the garden, but all he could say was, 'Miss Primla, no, no!' It was clear that the man was completely insane. ā€

"Ahh

"Did it scare you?" asked Grandma Betty, concerned.

"Well, it's a little, now~here~ is there still a creaking sound at night?" asked Lena in a shaky voice.

"Hehe, these are all legendary things, and there are no strange things here now. Grandma Betty comforted.

"And what about later?" I asked. To be honest, I was a little scared at first when I heard that there was such a horrible thing going on in the place where we were going to stay tonight. But after listening to Grandma Betty's words, coupled with curiosity, I still want to know what is next.

"After this incident, no servant dared to live in the villa anymore, and resigned one after another. Grandma Betty sighed, "In the end, it was the maid who took up the young lady who volunteered to take over the place." Strange to say, it seems that no strange things have happened since the maid moved in. In this way, the maid and her descendants have been taking care of the villa. ā€

"So, Grandma Betty is the handmaiden's descendant?" asked Lena the question that was on everyone's mind.

"Yes. Grandma Betty smiled and admitted.

"No wonder you know so many things. Lena said with a smile.

"Well, excuse me. I'm a little curious. Singh suddenly interjected at this point and asked, "The room where the viscount died is in the master room?" As soon as Lena and I heard this, we only felt a chill down our backs, and we stared at Grandma Betty with wide eyes, waiting for her answer.

"Yes. Grandma Betty replied.

"Ah!!h

"It seems that we will have to change rooms in the end, so let's get close to Haoyan tonight. Singh looked at me and Lena with a smirk. Haoyan didn't answer, just glanced at Singh, looking like you are less fleshy.

"Then I'll trouble you," Lena replied happily.

"Thank you," I said sincerely.

After that, Grandma Betty said she was going to start preparing dinner and left the lounge. While it was still early, Singh suggested that everyone might as well play poker together. Everyone said yes and gathered around in high spirits, but Flinda stood up, didn't speak, just glanced at us, and left the lounge without looking back.

Although I really wanted to ask Pi to chase Flinda, I didn't say anything when I saw Pi enthusiastically join in playing poker. The time passed happily in the game of poker, and it was not until dinner that we returned to our respective rooms. With the lesson of lunch, at dinner, I sat down at the dinner table early, pulling Singh to sit on either side of Lianna, while Haoyan was arranged to sit opposite the seat. In this way, Pi can only sit obediently next to Flinda, and can finally avoid Flinda's fierce gaze and eat in peace.

After dinner, Lena and I packed up the things in the room, and then moved our luggage to Singh and Haoyan's room on the third floor, and Singh and Haoyan went to the master room.

"Lena, are you all packed, can you go to the bathhouse?" I asked, after packing my luggage.

"Eh, my talisman is missing!! Lena said in surprise suddenly.

"Ah!?, let's go find it together!" I asked with concern.

"Well, no, I remember, it looks like I missed it on the dresser in the master room when I washed my hands before eating," Lena said, scratching the back of her head.

"Well, I'll go with you to get it?" I suggested.

"Well, no need, I'll go alone, why don't you go to the bathhouse first, and when I get the bracelet back, I'll go to you." Lena thought for a moment and said.

"Well, okay then. I nodded and replied.

So, I left the room alone with my slippers, bathrobe, towel, and shower gel, and walked to the restaurant on the first floor, and passed through the vegetable garden through the back door of the restaurant to the door of the bathhouse. Along the way, I didn't meet anyone, and the library, gallery, and lounge were not lit, and everyone was probably tidying up in the room. Looking at Grandma Betty's room not far away, the lights inside are not on, and Grandma Betty said to make strawberry pudding for us to taste at dinner today, and now it is estimated that it is in the kitchen.

I looked at the bathhouse, which was one and a half stories high, with walls made of ashlar bricks, and a row of vents under the roof, each of which had an iron wind chime. It is said that you can't take a bath when the wind chimes are tinkling, because it's windy in the mountains, and if you still take a bath, you can easily catch a cold. A beaded curtain hangs at the entrance of the bathhouse, and people make a tinkling sound when they pass through the doorway. Hearing that voice, the person who is bathing inside can stop the person in time or hurriedly get dressed, so as to avoid the embarrassment of seeing each other in vain. The two walls on the left side of the doorway, shaded from each other, and around those two walls, there was a small bathroom inside. In order to soak in the bath, the dirt on the body is washed off first, and the bath is behind the bath. The bath is a large semi-circular pond topped by three stone sculptures in the shape of chrysanthemums, from which the spring water falls into an oval stone disc and finally flows into the pool.

Now I'm slowly stepping into the bath. Whew, it's really cool and comfortable, I can't help but admire. Every pore soaked in the water seems to be slowly opening, absorbing the nutrients in the spring water, releasing the toxins inside, and the skin looks more supple and smooth. It seems that, as Grandma Betty said, this spring water has a beauty effect. I arched my hands, caught the spring water that fell from the disc, and took a small sip, well, very sweet to quench my thirst, no wonder Grandma Betty's chrysanthemum tea is so delicious, and it also has the credit of this spring water.

Ding Ding Dong -

At this time, the sound of the bead curtain at the door colliding came.

"Lianna?" I asked aloud.

No one answered, no one heard footsteps.

"Is that you?" I asked again. At the same time, I alertly left the bath and put on my bathrobe.
