After sleeping until noon, Ni Huairou woke up from the nightmare, her forehead was full of cold sweat and her face was pale, and it was raining heavily outside the window, crackling and knocking on the window glass.

Knock knock, the door was knocked, the startled Ni Huairou's heart jumped down again, took the mobile phone and saw that the time was already half past eleven in the morning, and the stomach sent out a stinging protest denunciation.

"Miss Xiaorou, are you awake? It's time for lunch, so please go downstairs to the restaurant. ”

The voice of the old housekeeper came, which calmed Ni Huairou's mood, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and coughed lightly before he began to respond: "I know, go immediately." ”

"Okay, Miss Xiaorou, then I'll go down first."

The footsteps of the old housekeeper gradually faded away, as if he had left downstairs, Ni Huairou lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

There is a bathroom in the suite of the room, and after a simple freshening, I look at myself in the dressing mirror, my face is haggard and pale, and the blue and black under my eyes are obviously because I haven't slept well.

Thinking of the scene after opening the door last night, Ni Huairou still felt a chill in her heart, and when she arrived at the restaurant on the first floor, Liu Manwen and Pan Weixuan were already sitting at the dining table waiting for her, and the old housekeeper saw Ni Huairou nodding gently.

"Miss Xiaorou, you sit here."

Pull away the seat on Liu Manwen's left hand, the tableware has been placed on it, and Pan Weixuan is sitting on Liu Manwen's right hand, and he looks at her with a worried face after seeing Ni Huairou sit down.

Liu Manwen looked at Ni Huairou with a gloomy face, and at first glance, he didn't like her arrival, and he didn't hide his unhappiness, and his old hand touched and slapped it on the table.

"Who is she? Why do you live at home? ”

Liu Manwen's voice was full of vicissitudes of life, and he stared at Ni Huairou, but turned his head to question Pan Weixuan.

"Grandma, you forgot again, this is Aunt Manzhen's daughter Rourou. I came to see you at home last night, and you invited her to stay. ”

Pan Weixuan's tone was calm, and Liu Manwen's face softened a lot after hearing this, and he looked at Ni Huairou again.

"Manzhen's daughter? Or did I let her stay? ”

Liu Manwen's voice soared, obviously not believing that these words could come out of his mouth.

"Grandma, of course you said this yourself, if you don't believe it, you can also ask the light housekeeper."

Pan Weixuan said and glanced at the old housekeeper beside Ni Huairou, and Liu Manwen really turned his head at the old housekeeper and asked rhetorically.

"Impossible! Butler, tell me, was it really my decision? ”

Liu Manwen's tone was questioning, and he looked at Ni Huairou who was sitting on the left hand side as he spoke, with a tentative look on his face.

"Yes, old lady, it is true that you said that. Have you forgotten? ”

The light butler nodded in agreement.

Ni Huairou accepted Liu Manwen's scrutiny and temptation, looking back unaffected, and her frank appearance made Liu Manwen himself begin to wonder if he had said these words.

Looking at Liu Manwen's expression, he obviously forgot what happened yesterday, not only that, but he even felt that it was decades ago, and sure enough, as Pan Weixuan said, suffering from the symptoms of paranoid will lead to the consequences of amnesia.

Although it seems that Liu Manwen is normal on the surface, he can forget what happened yesterday, has such a condition reached the point where it cannot be cured?

"Hmm."

Liu Manwen looked at Ni Huairou for a long time, but he only nodded and began to bow his head to eat, as if he had accepted this fact.

But why didn't Liu Manwen ask her to leave? Ni Huairou looked at Liu Manwen a little strangely, but the latter was elegantly holding bamboo chopsticks to eat.

Pan Weixuan smiled at Ni Huairou, and stopped talking and bowed his head to eat, and the butler filled the water cup on the table for Ni Huairou.

"Miss Xiaorou, please use it slowly."

"Thank you."

After thanking her lightly, Ni Huairou decided to brake quietly, although she didn't know what Liu Manwen wanted to do, but so far she should still be in a state of more observation in the Liu Mansion, so as not to stimulate Liu Manwen to make things out of control.

The food on the table is unusually rich, full of color, flavor, and taste, the taste is sweet and light, and the fish soup is thick and delicious, without a little fishyness, which makes Ni Huairou's stomach be well soothed, and the stomach pain is completely cured after the meal.

After lunch, Liu Manwen left and went back upstairs, Pan Weixuan had to go to the law firm in the afternoon to deal with things, and arranged for Ni Huairou to move around at will, but it was best not to leave the villa alone, because the villa was inconvenient to enter and exit in a remote mountain.

Ni Huairou originally planned to probe Liu Manwen's tone again, but Liu Manwen refused sharply in the room, but Ni Huairou could only give up this idea for the time being, thinking of what she encountered last night, she directly found the light housekeeper.

The light butler is directing the servants cleaning in the hall, although the overall style of the villa is European-style architecture, but the ornamental utensils placed inside look like antiques.

"Wipe the blue and white porcelain vase, be careful, that is the old lady's favorite."

"Light butler."

Seeing a few servants obediently cleaning, Ni Huairou went behind the light housekeeper and whispered.

"Miss Xiaorou, you call me."

Butler Guang immediately turned around respectfully, Ni Huairou still felt that it was awkward to be called you by someone older than herself, but Butler Guang didn't seem to feel anything.

"Can I ask you something?"

Regarding what happened last night, Ni Huairou was very concerned in her heart.

"Miss Xiaorou, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."

"I want to ask you, why are the guest rooms on the second floor locked? What's inside? ”

didn't directly say what he encountered, Ni Huairou couldn't be sure if someone was playing tricks, so he could only test Butler Guang in a roundabout way.

"You mean the guest room? Those are nothing more than rooms for guests, and there is nothing special about them. Miss Xiaorou, is the room uncomfortable, do you want to change the room? ”

"Oh, no. It's just that last night, I seem to hear some strange noises......"

Ni Huairou observed Steward Guang's expression, and before she finished her words, she saw Steward Guang's face change, as if with a trace of fear, looking at Steward Guang with doubt.

"What...... What a voice, Miss Xiaorou. ”

"It seems that someone is knocking on the door, but it took a long time to knock again, did you hear it, butler?"

Ni Huairou looked at the light housekeeper, but her eyes glanced at the faces of the two cleaning people nearby, and the faces became ugly, as if there was indeed something hidden in her that she didn't know.

"Miss Xiaorou, you didn't go out to see, did you?"

The light housekeeper's face changed drastically, and he approached Ni Huairou sideways and whispered, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

Ni Huairou frowned, hesitated for two seconds and shook her head, what she saw yesterday was too incredible, and it was not wise to say it so rashly.

When Ni Huairou just shook her head, she saw Steward Guang's relieved appearance, and her face was no longer so tense.

"That's good...... Well, it's not true, probably you misheard. This kind of old house is not very well insulated, you don't have to worry about it, rest well at night and don't go out. ”

Butler Guang deliberately explained the night, which made Ni Huairou feel that Butler Guang must have something to hide, thinking of the faceless girl she saw last night, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that it was too weird.

"But I did listen to ...... last night"

"Miss Xiaorou, you must have heard it wrong, you can rest assured that it's okay, just don't come out at night. Oh, if it's okay, then I'll get busy. ”

The butler was about to leave as he spoke, and as soon as he turned around, he turned back again: "By the way, Miss Xiaorou, if you don't want to go back to the room, you can let them put the fireplace on the fire and read a book next to it." ”

Ni Huairou hurriedly went up to the second floor after watching the light housekeeper finish speaking, the light housekeeper's expression was definitely hiding something, could it be that he had encountered such a thing before?

Is the faceless woman I saw last night really exist? Is it a demon or a hallucination?

The space of the villa was too large, Ni Huairou stayed alone in the hall on the first floor, and the cleaner also retreated to the room early after hearing Ni Huairou's words, as if she was deliberately avoiding her, so that she couldn't ask anyone if she wanted to.

Sighing, Ni Huairou felt as if she was isolated, remembering the lively scene of the courtyard before, although the small courtyard was not big, it was full of vitality, and the space of this villa was not small, but it always gave Ni Huairou a feeling of emptiness.

Looking at the flames burning in the fireplace, the crackling sparks exploded, and the heat wave made the skin in contact with it a little tight, sitting on the wooden chair next to the fireplace, Ni Huairou looked at the burning flames in a daze, and her mind was full of the scenes of seeing the faceless woman last night.

The pendulum clock not far away made a sound of swaying from side to side, and suddenly a few sounds startled Ni Huairou's thoughts, and he suddenly turned around to see that the hands were pointing at two o'clock, and two maids ran out of the room on the first floor.

"Hello little lady."

The two hurriedly bowed to Ni Huairou, one of the maids turned on the pendulum clock to turn off the sound, and the other maid looked at Ni Huairou with an apologetic face. "I'm sorry little miss, I forgot to turn off the pendulum clock, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

"It's okay, what do you want?"

Ni Huairou waved her hand and said absently, but saw that the maid who turned off the pendulum clock was dragging a tray in her hand, and there were water cups and medicine bottles on the tray.

"Back to the little lady, I want to send medicine to the old lady, I ...... I'll go first. ”

The two maids seemed to be very afraid of Ni Huairou, and the one who turned off the pendulum clock trotted up to the second floor after speaking, and the one left behind looked about the same age as himself with a double ponytail, and stood in place with a pale face and didn't dare to come out.

"You're afraid of me? Why? ”

Ni Huairou is very curious, is she very scary? Thinking of the last time she came, the servants also looked very afraid of her, and I don't know why.

"No, no...... No......"

The other party waved his hand in fright, trying to hide his frightened look, and stepped back as he spoke.

Ni Huairou raised her eyebrows, although she didn't think she was a good-tempered person, but she wouldn't scare others like this, right?

got up and walked in front of the other party, a few steps away from the girl, and the girl had been forced by her to stick her back on the blue and white porcelain vase, about a person high, the blue and white porcelain vase could block the girl's retreat.

"You're not afraid of me?"

Ni Huairou only felt funny, this girl's face turned pale with fright, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at herself, if this is not afraid, then what is fear?
