Chapter 290: The Butler's Threat
Shen Caiyi's first reaction was to run away quickly, and in this dark night, her footsteps were clearly audible.
Especially in the past few days when Nalan Zhen left, as long as the maid had nothing to do, he would rest in the house early, and he would not run around at all.
Therefore, the footsteps of Shen Caiyi's escape became the only sound at this time, and the housekeeper looked in the direction of the sound.
Maybe some people usually do something wrong, suddenly hear a cat barking at night, or a breeze blowing everywhere, they can imagine whether Nalan Zhen came to ask for his life.
"What the hell."
"What the hell is your name, scare me."
The two night watchmen were noisy in a low voice, and their voices trembled when they spoke.
"There was a cat running over there, I thought it was the old man's soul that was still alive and coming to take revenge."
"It's not the old man who killed the two of us, even if you take revenge, you are looking for the person who killed him, what are you afraid of."
"Old man, it wasn't us who killed you, there is a debtor." The family kept paying homage to the surroundings, and kept muttering, "Hurry up, let's go, this night is just scary." ”
With that, the two of them quickly slipped back into the house.
Shen Caiyi thought about Dongfang Yi's attitude when he came back during the day. I was on fire in my heart, so I had been by his side for so long.
But in the end, Dongfang Yi only had Nalan Jin in his heart, and he didn't take her seriously at all.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I mustered up the courage to have a showdown with Dongfang Yi, and I couldn't stay in such a wretched Wow Senalan Mansion for a lifetime.
Shen Caiyi couldn't sleep and ran out for a night trip, just bumping into the housekeeper's conspiracy. It was so unfortunate that the man in black discovered her whereabouts.
"Who?" The man in black shouted, "I'll talk about this later, I'll go first to avoid trouble." The man in black flew away from the beam of the house with a puff of smoke.
Shen Caiyi held her breath nervously, and was shocked to find that she didn't know how to deal with herself, and the only thought in her heart was to run away quickly.
The housekeeper was also scared, and chased towards the place where the sound came from, seeing that the figure was a little familiar, worried about alarming the people in the house, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he rushed up and blocked Shen Caiyi's mouth and took it to the corner.
"Is that you?" The housekeeper saw that it was Shen Caiyi with a surprised expression.
Shen Caiyi looked at the housekeeper in panic and kept struggling. The housekeeper knew that once the fire was discovered, it would be a dead end.
"I'll let you go now, you should know how to do it, right?" The housekeeper looked at Shen Caiyi and said, she nodded.
Seeing the man in black fleeing like this, the housekeeper had to find a way to save his life, otherwise even if the man in black gave him more money, he would not be able to spend it.
"I haven't seen anything, I've heard nothing, please let me go." Shen Caiyi begged the housekeeper in a trembling voice.
Looking at Shen Caiyi's panicked appearance, the housekeeper suddenly had an irrepressible impulse, Shen Caiyi in the moonlight revealed that changing you was distressing and pitiful.
"Come,
Get up, it seems that you have seen and heard. The housekeeper slowly helped Shen Caiyi up.
"Please believe me, I really don't know anything, I have night blindness, I can't see things at night, please let me go." Shen Caiyi kept shaking her head, emphasizing that she hadn't seen anything.
"It doesn't matter if you see it or not, you just need to remember one thing, if tonight's events are known by a third person other than you and me, you should know the end, I can send the old man away, do you think you are harder than her? Wanhualou in the city seems to have a top girl. ”
The housekeeper's words were extremely cold, and Shen Caiyi's whole body was like being frozen, and the insidiousness in his words made Shen Caiyi fearful, and he kept nodding his head and agreeing to all the housekeeper's words.
"Don't worry, I have night blindness and don't know anything." Shen Caiyi once again emphasized that she did not know.
"That's good, now that you already know about this matter, I heard that you are following your uncle to investigate this case?" The housekeeper suddenly looked at Shen Caiyi sinisterly.
"What do you want to do to the East?" Shen Caiyi glared at the housekeeper.
"Don't be nervous, he's an uncle, our well water doesn't interfere with river water, I just want you to help him have a little more accidents when investigating the case, that's all." The butler stroked his mustache.
Shen Caiyi knew that he had bad intentions when he looked at the housekeeper's eyes, but now that he was being held hostage by his master, he could only bow his head, otherwise even Nalan Zhen would dare to kill someone who would do something even more excessive.
"Okay, I got it." Shen Caiyi timidly agreed to the housekeeper's request.
"Don't think about playing any tricks, I will keep an eye on you all the time, if my uncle notices a little abnormal, I will sell you to Wanhualou at any time!" The housekeeper looked at Shen Caiyi's rolling eyes and felt that she was a little uncontrollable.
"No, no." Shen Caiyi hurriedly shook his head.
"Well, get out."
The housekeeper hummed with satisfaction, making Shen Caiyi grateful that you disappeared from his eyes.
Back in the house, Shen Caiyi was too frightened to remember how she crawled back into the house, only to know that her body was full of large and small scars and bruises.
Thinking of the picture of the housekeeper's threat, Shen Caiyi broke out in a cold sweat. Quickly got into the quilt, thinking that if you fall asleep, it will all pass.
But this night was the longest night Shen Caiyi had ever experienced, she had frequent nightmares, dreaming that she was killed by the housekeeper, dreaming that she was threatened by the housekeeper and killed Dongfang Yi, and was looking for her to take revenge.
Yes!
Shen Caiyi woke up from a dream, the sky was already bright, remembering what the housekeeper had explained, she quickly got up, cleaned herself up, with dark circles under her eyes and full of exhaustion, she hurried to find Dongfang Yi.
This night, Dongfang Yi told Nalan Jin about her guess and the basis of the matter, so that she was convinced that Nalan Zhen's death was murdered by the Bei people.
"Jin'er, why did you get up so early?" Dongfang Yizheng was a little surprised to see the refreshed Nalan Jin.
"It's been decadent for so long, and it's time to cheer up
, get up and eat, I asked Lian'er to prepare a lot. Nalan Jin raised his head and looked ahead, his eyes were extremely determined.
"Your body is recovering, you should pay more attention." Dongfang Yi wears long boots.
"I must find my grandfather's murderer myself!" Nalan Jin gritted her teeth.
Dongfang Yi understood Nalan Jin's mood at this time, even if he persuaded more, it was useless to talk about it, so he had to accompany her to find it.
Nalan Jin's appetite was very good, and he ate the breakfast prepared by Lian'er, Dongfang Yi held the bowl in surprise and looked at Nalan Jin with his mouth wide open.
"Do you eat or not? Give it to me if you don't eat it. Nalan Jin stared at Dongfang Yi's bowl that didn't move.
"I don't ......" Dongfang Yi's words hadn't finished yet, only to see that Nalan Jin had already snatched his bowl.
Dongfang Yi looked at Nalan Jin in surprise and swallowed his saliva.
After breakfast, Nalan Jin couldn't wait to watch Dongfang Yi to find clues.
"That...... Why don't you go again? Anyway, there is no rush for a while. Dongfang Yi felt that Nalan Jin was a little uncomfortable with being full.
"It's been slow for so long, it's enough."
Nalan Jin stretched as she spoke, feeling that she had indeed been lying down for too long before she felt the muscles of her whole body aching and uncomfortable.
Shen Caiyi lingered at Nalan Jin's door for a long time, covering her face and remembering the picture of being angrily slapped by Nalan Jin that day, and her cheeks were still aching faintly.
I finally made up my mind to go in.
"Dongfang and Sister Jin'er are going out? Can you take me with you? Shen Caiyi smiled and deliberately curryed favor with Nalan Jin.
"Your eyes...... Did you not pay attention? Dongfang Yi looked at Shen Caiyi's dark circles, and thought that he was running around with his fatigue in the past few days.
"It's okay, maybe I'm worried...... Slept late and didn't get in the way. Shen Cai hesitated for a long time, but he didn't dare to say what he was worried about.
When Nalan Jin saw Shen Caiyi, she remembered that she was red a few days ago, scratching her head and posing, and she was angry, Dongfang Yi still cared about her so much, which was obviously adding fuel to the fire.
"Since you are not feeling well, you can take care of it, and the province says that Nalan Mansion abuses others, and grandpa is gone, but there are many masters in this family." Nalan Jin pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, implying that Shen Cai was guarding himself.
"What my sister said is, Dongfang, can you take me out with you?" Shen Caiyi looked at Dongfang Yi weakly.
Dongfang Yi couldn't refuse, so he agreed to Shen Caiyi's request. Along the way, she was like a coat. Follow behind the two. This also gave her the convenience of doing things in secret.
Every time Dongfang Yi went to inquire about a place, Shen Caiyi threatened those people so that they didn't dare to speak.
Dongfang Yi felt so strange, and when he thought about it, he thought it was Liu Ruyan's revenge.
"So I didn't find any strong evidence, are you wrong?" Nalan Jin was a little slack, sitting on the tea stall and wondering.
"I'm definitely not wrong, it must be that we overlooked some important details, and then think about it." Dongfang Yi replied in the affirmative.
orient
After thinking about it, I suddenly thought of the time when there was a fire that night. Lian's son went to Nalan Zhen's house, so he hurriedly took Nalan Jin back.
"Lian'er, can you recall well, did you see or hear anything on the night of the fire?" Dongfang Yi slowly induced.
Lian'er has been busy with trivial matters in the house recently, and she has long been unaware of forgetting all the things of a few days ago.
"Nothing seems to be the case." Lian'er thought for a long time and said.
"How is it possible, think about it again, there was only you if grandpa's room that night." Dongfang Yi stared at Lian'er.
"Lian'er, think about it, this matter is about the death of grandpa, please." Nalan Jin bowed her head to Lian'er.
"Miss can't help it." Lian'er hurriedly helped Nalan Jin up, "I seem to have a bit of an image, that night I saw a figure flash from outside the old man's door, it seemed to be a housekeeper, but I wasn't sure." ”
"Butler!" Nalan Jin shouted.
"It can't be a housekeeper! It's okay to say that others have been in the house for so many years, and this housekeeper will never do this kind of thing, you must be wrong. Dongfang Yi didn't believe that the housekeeper would do such a thing at all, so he vetoed it directly.
Shen Caiyi followed the nervous heart, and finally let go.
