Chapter 342: The Mystery of Markham
"Talk about your death?" Qi Yuxuan scolded angrily, did not believe in evil, and tried his best to bang on the door.
However, the wooden door did not move at all.
Sheng Xi looked appreciatively at the brass lock on the door
Really awesome little cleat, take it out.
Qi Yuxuan couldn't open the door after trying many times, and scolded sharply: "Open the door!" Or I'll kill you all!" ”
Sheng Xi was not afraid of him: "Groom official, don't struggle." If you had opened the door yourself, you would have killed us last night. ”
Qi Yuxuan was silent for a moment.
Last night, Sheng Xi and Yuan Xian slept soundly under the rules, but he banged on the door all night.
It wasn't until dawn that he knew the two men were about to wake up, and tried to ambush them as they opened the door, before he stopped banging on the door.
Now that Sheng Xi said this, Qi Yuxuan was annoyed and angry: "That's because I don't want to kill you!" Don't forget, Yan Qian is still inside! She kills anyone she sees! ”
Sheng Xi turned around and asked the bride, "Are you going to kill us now?" ”
The bride named Yan Qian shook her head slowly, her neck turned, and she made a "click" sound, as if it would break at any moment.
"Then why did you suddenly do it to us?" Yuan Xian asked.
The bride could not speak, and stood in place.
Her feet are only on tiptoe, and her erect body is very weird.
It's not like it's standing on its own, but it's like it's being hung up by invisible threads.
"The matrimonial room is safe for you, but it's not so safe if you're in the presence of outsiders, isn't it?" Sheng Xi asked.
The bride nodded.
Last night, including when Qi Yuxuan appeared just now, although the bride did it to them, she didn't tear them apart directly, but just wanted to throw them out of the wedding room.
Although this may be due to the rule that "the marriage room is safe", there may be other reasons.
If the bride wants to kill them, she can do it as soon as she enters the wedding room last night.
But it wasn't until Qi Yuxuan approached the Yan Mansion that she suddenly attacked.
From this point, Sheng Xi deduced that the bride's two actions may not have been intended to kill them, but had another purpose.
In the truth confided in the butler after being beaten, he mentioned some of his rules and restrictions, which were different from the rules that Sheng Xi and they needed to follow.
Based on this, it can be determined that different people in Markham have different rules to follow.
Some of these rules are the same, while others are completely different.
Among the bride's rules, there should be a rule similar to "the wedding room is safe, but if outsiders are present, Qi Yuxuan can enter the marriage room and take her out".
The bride is not Qi Yuxuan's opponent, and once she leaves the wedding room, she will be killed by Qi Yuxuan.
This article should have been deliberately added by Qi Yuxuan and others in order to prevent the bride from finding a helper.
Sheng Xi voiced his guess.
The bride nodded in correctness.
Qi Yuxuan grinded his teeth outside the door: "I warn you two not to believe her, this woman is full of lies!" It will only deceive! ”
Yuan Xian said indifferently: "She can't speak now." ”
Qi Yuxuan was stuck, and he couldn't refute this, so he could only change the topic: "I know her rules, one of them is to kill all outsiders!" ”
"How do we know you're not lying?" Sheng Xi asked.
Qi Yuxuan sneered: "Your rules are written by me, why am I lying to you?" ”
"If you don't believe me, I'll recite a few for you."
"Number one, Markham has no spiritual power......"
"Article 4...... When you see the bride, run away immediately......"
"Article 13 ......"
"Article 14 ......"
Sheng Xi didn't interrupt him, until Qi Yuxuan finished speaking, she raised her lips and asked, "What is the seventh article?" ”
Qi Yuxuan, who was outside the door, was quiet for a moment, and said angrily: "There are so many rules, do I want to give you a full remorse?" Am I that idle? ”
Sheng Xi felt that he was very idle: "Everyone is trapped in Markham, isn't the most time?" ”
"Being idle is also idle, and carrying rules on your back helps prevent Alzheimer's."
"I'll give you a start, 'Article Seven, after the time and time, no matter what ...... you hear in the Yanfu Guest House', what's next?"
Qi Yuxuan thought for a moment, and said confidently: "You can't open the door." ”
"Complete."
"You can't open or open a door." Qi Yuxuan added angrily, "What's there to ask about this?" ”
"You didn't say it all. Can't open the window or open the door' behind, there is also content. Sheng Xi said.
Qi Yuxuan frowned.
He thought about it for a while, and felt that with this girl's cunning, she must be cheating him.
Qi Yuxuan said categorically: "You don't have to fool me, this rule is like this." There is nothing behind it! ”
At this moment, the bride standing in the house raised her hand and pointed to the marriage bed in the inner room.
Although she didn't say a word, she gave the answer.
[Article 7: After the hour, no matter what you hear in the Yanfu guest house, you must not open the door or open the window. Please take a good rest. 】
Qi Yuxuan failed to say the rule of "please take a good rest".
From the first time Sheng Xi saw this rule, he faintly felt a sense of disobedience.
Later, she noticed that the bride had an antagonistic relationship with the butler and the groom, and that the groom seemed to have something to do with the wedding, so she guessed that there were many forces in Markham.
At that time, Sheng Xi thought, could the rules she got also be customized by several forces?
With this thought, Sheng Xi recited the rules several times and confirmed with Yuan Xian whether they were word for word.
So, she made another discovery.
- In the rules that she and Yuan Xian got, there are several rules with different language habits.
For example, in the fifth, eighth, and twelfth articles, when giving them tips to avoid danger, they all politely use the word "please".
However, the word "please" is not included in Article 4.
There are assumptions in Articles 4 and 9, but one says "if" and the other says "if".
As a social animal who has been squeezed by the leader for a long time, Sheng Xi is very sensitive to this kind of thing, and pays special attention to the consistency of the format.
This writing language habit is different, but it just makes Sheng Xi suspicious.
It wasn't until she had just confirmed that Qi Yuxuan didn't know the rule of "please take a good rest", but the bride knew, that she confirmed her conjecture.
"The mystery of Markham should have something to do with the two of you, as well as the butler and the groom. The cause was the secret treasure that the butler wanted to steal. ”
"For the sake of this secret treasure, the housekeeper sneaked into the Yan family by hiding his identity. At the time of the eldest lady Yan Qian's wedding, she tried to steal the secret treasure. ”
"The eldest lady Yan Qian wants to escape from marriage." Sheng Xi said this, and looked at the bride specially.
Seeing that she didn't react, Sheng Xi continued.
"Yan Qian may have an affair with the groom, want to escape the marriage, and elope with him."
"Maybe it's just that the eldest lady is simply dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her parents and wants to take a servant out to see the world."
So, on the day of the wedding, when everyone was busy with this matter, Yan Qian, as the bride, made an appointment with the groom to answer at the corner gate and take her out of Yan's mansion.
The bride still didn't respond.
Qi Yuxuan sneered: "Now you know how hateful this woman is, right?" She's been with that groom for a long time! How could I possibly want such a woman! ”
Sheng Xi motioned for him to be calm: "I haven't finished yet." ”
"What else is there to say!"
Sheng Xi: "The groom was specially sent by you. ”
Yuan Xian was stunned, he didn't expect there to be such a person.
