"The mistress of this house, if it really hasn't appeared for ten years, then it is most likely that Mr. Butler will wind the bell in her place, so it is not surprising that the housekeeper knows how the door to the bell tower opens, but you are just a cook, and you are neither responsible for managing other people, nor have direct contact with the hostess, why are you able to enter the bell tower after Mr. Steward?"

"Since you know the secret of the double door, it means that you know the secrets of all the secret passages and mechanisms in this house, and besides, you are the person who came here 15 years ago when the Spiegel House was built, and you must know much more about this kind of house than anyone else. So, mother-in-law, please stop denying it and tell us the truth. ”

When Yun Yeyao said this, the cook's mother-in-law's waist had already bent down, she seemed to be in pain and propped her hands on the table, and Sister Wang helped her massage her back, looking extremely worried.

After enduring and enduring, Sister Wang finally spoke: "Mr. Yun, can you please say hello after a while?" Now my mother-in-law's heart is very uncomfortable, I am afraid that something will happen to her? ”

Yun Yeyao didn't refute what Sister Wang said, he shook his head and stood up, walked to the two women across the table, Yan Muheng, who was next to him, immediately stood up together, and followed behind Yun Yeyao like a shadow, his tall body gave people a sense of intimidation, making people dare not get close to Yun Yeyao for half a step.

When the two of them passed by Liu Qiaopu, Liu Qiaopu stood up and grabbed Yan Muheng, and asked him quietly, "Are you okay when you come up?" ”

"It's good, Xiaoxiao is not injured."

"I'm asking if your little mood is okay?"

"It's the same as usual! I didn't see her particularly excited. ”

"That's good! You've got to take care of her for me, do you understand? ”

"I know, teacher, don't worry."

"Also, be careful of the old woman's physical condition, I think she is really bad, let Xiao Yao pay attention to proportion!"

"I understand that Xiao Yao is not a reckless and impulsive person, he must have a reason when he says this."

The words of the two people were almost limited to lip synching, and when Yan Muheng answered Liu Qiaopu's question, one hand was still firmly holding Yun Yeyao's hand, as if he was afraid that he would be taken away again in the next second.

After Liu Qiaopu asked, he sat down silently, he didn't glance at the clasped hands of the two people, but continued to stare at the every move of the cook's mother-in-law and Sister Wang. If it is found that the cook's mother-in-law is indeed unable to support her body, Liu Qiaopu will immediately stop Yun Yeyao and prevent him from taking further action.

Yun Yeyao walked up to the cook's mother-in-law, at this time, the cook's mother was leaning her forehead on the table, one hand in front of her head, and she could be heard gasping for breath mixed with pain. Yun Yeyao didn't alarm the cook, but said to Sister Wang, "Please put your hand on the table, okay?" ”

"What for?" Sister Wang was a little overwhelmed and stared at Yun Ye.

Yun Yeyao continued to smile and said, "What do you think you are going to do? I just want you to touch the pulse of the cook's mother-in-law, is it normal? ”

"But I ......" Sister Wang wants to say that she is not like Mr. Housekeeper, who knows a little about medicine, so what's the use of letting her take her pulse? Seeing Yun Yeyao's hint in her eyes, Sister Wang swallowed her words back.

Yun Yeyao said: "Now we are the only one here who is most familiar with the kitchen mother-in-law, usually, you should also know a little about her physical condition, help us take a look, the kitchen mother-in-law must not have an accident at this time." ”

"Okay, okay!" Sister Wang swallowed her saliva, hesitated and stretched out her hand to the cook's wrist, at this time, a beam of yellow light suddenly illuminated the faces of the two people, Sister Wang raised her head and saw Yan Muheng holding a small flashlight connected to the keychain in her hand, facing them.

Yun Yeyao asked at the right time, "Mother-in-law, are you okay?" ”

This is him looking for the kitchen mother-in-law to go down the stairs, and the cook herself knows that she can't deceive anymore, she slowly propped herself up from the table and said to Yun Yeyao, "I'm fine." ”

"Mother-in-law, I don't think you are the real culprit of the serial murders in the treacherous house, you may have your own unspeakable secrets, but it is not the best thing to dodge the question, or can you tell us honestly, what has happened in the past 15 years? What did you do when Mr. Butler died? What do you see? ”

At this point, the cook's mother-in-law could no longer disguise, she slowly sat up straight with the support of Sister Wang, and said to Yun Yeyao: "You guys are really difficult, why do you have to tell me the truth?" The past 15 years ago was so sad and painful, can't you let me go, an old woman? ”

"If there had been no homicide," Yun Yeyao said, "no matter what you experienced 15 years ago?" We're not going to get to the bottom of it. But now, several people have been killed, and we have to explore the secrets behind each one to restore the truth, so mother-in-law, please tell us about it! ”

"Was it really that important 15 years ago?" The cook's lips trembled, and her eyes gradually became cloudy as she looked at Mr. Actor.

Yun Yeyao nodded vigorously and said, "Important, very important, this may be related to the trafficked child!" ”

“…… Well, I'll tell you the truth. ”

"Hey! Wait," At this time, Lu Haoyu hurriedly interjected and said, "Mr. Yun, did you take us to the third floor just to listen to the story 15 years ago?" ”

"No, but before you move on, you have to listen to it, and you will understand what happened fifteen years ago." Yun Yeyao said unhurriedly, he took Yan Muheng's flashlight in his hand, and then walked towards the corner of the room according to Yan Muheng, and after a while, the room became brightly lit, and everyone's mood was relaxed a lot because of this transparent light.

Yun Yeyao and Yan Muheng returned to the seats of the two of them, and when they passed behind someone, Yun Yeyao also deliberately patted him on the back, after this person left the stairwell leading to the third floor, he never opened his mouth, and no one paid attention to him, as if he had disappeared again, but he did follow everyone all the time.

After sitting down, Yun Yeyao said, "Mother-in-law, please start." ”

At this time, because there was no need to disguise it anymore, the cook's voice was much louder, and she was no longer so weak.

"I remember many years ago, when I was a child, I was very lonely, because my mother was gone, and my father lived a mess every day, not that he didn't love me, but that he couldn't share more thoughts with me, because he had a lot of things in his heart, and I could understand some things, but some things I couldn't understand until now."

"Alas! I haven't remembered the past for many years, so don't laugh at me, an old woman, and babble and say useless things. ”

"No, mother-in-law, if only you could open your heart to us." Yun Yeyao comforted, when he spoke in a very gentle way, the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a halo, like a treasure that people can't put down. It's a fascinating charm and a temperament that belongs to him.

Yun Yeyao's warm smile made the cook's mother-in-law feel a lot more settled, she continued: "I won't say much about the things before following An Ze to the Spiegel House, let me talk about it later, the Spiegel House was built in 1998, and the only people who came to live here at that time were me, An Ze and Anqian were three people, Anze and Anqian were Anze's daughter, who had just graduated from elementary school when she came over, that is, a teenage girl." ”

"At that time, I didn't have anything to do, and I didn't have to do kitchen work, and after Anze arrived here, he found a maid in the mountains to do the housework for us. Except for the loneliness and blandness of life, there is nothing else. ”

Yun Yeyao asked, "Mother-in-law, how old were you when you arrived at Spiegel?" ”

"Thirty-six or seventeen years old, I remember that I was 37 years old, and I just turned 36."

"What is the relationship between you and Anze?"

"I'm Ancy's governess, her stand-in, or more accurately, the manager of Spiegel."

"In other words, until Mr. Butler arrives, actually, you are doing your duties as a butler, right?"

"Yes, the maid didn't live at home at that time, and Anze and Anxi were in complete seclusion, so I took care of everything inside and out." The mother-in-law said, "Also, Anze demanded that I must declare myself to be his daughter to the outside world in order to hide Anxi's identity. ”

Between the pauses in the words, the cook overflowed a sigh from her mouth, which was a particularly deep and sad sigh, which seemed to sigh out the depression that the cook's mother-in-law had buried deep in her heart for many years.

She continued: "I don't remember what my own parents looked like, all I can remember is what I just said. For Anze, I am just a stand-in, a tool to cover his cash cow, and this cash cow is Anze's own daughter Anxi. ”

"Anze adopted me when I was not yet 20 years old, and at that time, he had just turned 40 and quit his job as a geography teacher to concentrate on his daughter's dreams. In fact, all of you have been deceived, and his so-called prophecy was not conceived by himself at all, but all came from the dreams of his own daughter. ”

"Anze is the most cruel father I have ever seen, there is no one. He drove away his wife, restricted her life's freedom, forced her to sleep and dream, and after graduating from elementary school, he never let her go to school again. And let me, a stranger, take care of his young daughter in his place. And he himself was often out and about, sometimes even not coming home for days. ”

"I also learned a little bit about what you said in An Ze's diary," Yun Yeyao glanced at Yan Muheng on the side and said; "When Xiao Meng was investigating the secret passage of the Blue Tower House, he found a broken diary from one of the secret rooms, many of the title pages on which had been torn off, and only a few of An Ze's diaries remained. I remember a diary entry mentioning that Anze had been away for a long time and had left his daughter at home alone. ”

"But most of these diaries tell about the events before they lived in the Spiegel House, and there is no mention of your existence at all, I think the reason why the suspect tore up most of the diaries may be to hide your relationship with An Ze, but not necessarily."

"There is a possibility that I have a mercenary relationship with An Ze, he imprisoned me at home, let me have no worries about food and clothing, and claimed that I was his daughter, but in fact, he hid his real daughter just to prevent others from robbing him of this wealth. An Ze is a humble and kind person on the surface, but in fact he is insatiable, and everyone in the family hates him. ”

When the cook said this, her face showed a look of disgust, and Sister Wang asked on the side: "Mother-in-law, you are already a middle-aged person who is nearly 40 years old when you enter the Spiegel House, and An Ze's daughter is so young, how can you replace her?" ”

Yun Yeyao replied for the cook: "It's very simple, what Anze needs is a woman who can disguise herself as a daughter and manage family affairs. If you really find a teenager, it will be impossible to manage the Spiegel House, and it will cause him a lot of trouble. At that time, the mother-in-law was nearly 40 years old, and An Ze should have been an old man who was nearly 60 years old, and if there was a difference of about 20 years, it would still be valid to play father and daughter. ”

"Moreover, the mother-in-law herself is an orphan adopted by An Ze, and instead of finding someone else to manage the Spiegel House, An Ze should find someone he is familiar with, so that it will be easier for him to control everything."

"Oh, I see, what about the past hostess? When I came here, I did meet the hostess once, although she was middle-aged, her skin was smooth and beautiful, and she was not the same person as her mother-in-law! Sister Wang then asked again.

"Xiao Wang, after you listen to me, you will naturally know." "In the beginning, there were many guests in the house, most of whom were archaeologists who came to ask for advice on prophecy. Later, because of the loneliness of the little Anqian and the persecution of her father, her dreams became less and less, and she suffered from depression. ”

"Almost every day she was crazy, and An Ze really had no choice, so he imprisoned her on the third floor of the Spiegel House. From this time on, I performed almost all the duties of the hostess and housekeeper, and An Ze either went out or engaged in some mysterious things in the study every day. ”

"And what about Anxi's mother? Didn't she come to care for her daughter? Yun Ye asked.

"Anxi is the daughter of Anze who got married and gave birth to many years after he quit his job as a geography teacher. I don't know much about this, because I didn't attend Anze's wedding, and I never met his wife, but when Anze brought Anze home, I heard him mention it casually. ”

"After Ann Qian became sensible, did Ann Ze talk about his wife in front of his daughter?"

"Never, even when Xiao An mentions his mother, he gets angry."

"As for Ancy herself, did she mention her mother to your face?"

There have been many times when Xiao An misses his mother very much, and often secretly calls his mother behind An Ze's back. If it weren't for Xiao An's old man, I might have thought that An Ze had never been married at all, and Xiao An and I were both adopted. ”
