Heritage in the Castle (28)
Because of Xia Lingge's sudden withdrawal, Bai Weiwei fell to the ground defenselessly, her long black hair fell down to cover her face, Bai Weiwei rubbed her sore elbows, and raised her face again with a pitiful appearance.
He ...... He's not really a steward. Bai Weiwei said with a crying voice, "I, I met him to find a property treaty, and then he threatened me, saying that if I told others, he would kill me......"
"That's it?" Xia Lingge asked.
Bai Weiwei shook her head, the tears in her eyes rolled down intermittently, so as not to be lovely: "I, I saw that he was still holding something in his hand, it seemed to be a piece of paper, but I didn't have time to look at it carefully, so I passed out...... I—Am I going to die?! ”
Paper......?
Xia Lingge ignored Bai Weiwei's crying, thinking slightly, Si Cheng came to her side and asked in a whisper, "Could it be the other half of the property treaty?" ”
"It's not out of the question."
Xia Lingge looked at Bai Weiwei, "Do you remember when you met the housekeeper?" ”
"I ......"
Bai Weiwei had tears in her eyes, and her voice sobbed: "I only remember that not long after you left, there was a sound of a tiger, which scared me at that time, and then I planned to close the gate of the ancient castle when the butler I bumped into stealing things, and then ...... After that, I don't know anything. ”
Tiger Bark......
Xia Lingge and the others had encountered tigers twice, the first time in the depths of the dead forest, but it was too far away from the ancient castle to know so clearly that even if there was a sound, it was difficult to know so clearly that it was a tiger roar.
Then the tiger roar that Bai Weiwei heard may be the second time, when they are fighting against Luo Yan, if it is calculated, the young butler must not have left for long, and even if it is really a property treaty in his hand, it is only half, he will not leave easily, he will only hide himself and then look for an opportunity to find the next half.
Where is the hiding place of the ancient castle?
Xia Lingge turned to Si Cheng, Si Cheng immediately turned around and walked out of the bedroom, Shen Yu leaned against the door frame and looked at them lazily, and then stretched his waist and said, "Then I won't bother you, go back to sleep for a ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was carried by Xia Lingge by the neck.
"Where to run?"
Xia Lingge looked at him indifferently: "It's difficult enough to have a guy who is secretly making trouble, and if you have another one, you will be very idle?" ”
Shen Yu was unconvinced: "Am I the kind of person who causes trouble?" ”
"Aren't you?" Xia Lingge dragged him closer to him.
"Miss Lingge! Little Master Jingui, you can be careful. The old housekeeper looked at Xia Lingge tugging at Shen Yu's neck, and there was a hideous complaint of worry in his eyes.
The aura that belonged to the monster Xia Lingge was very familiar, but she didn't stop there, but pulled Shen Yu tighter: "Don't worry, I'm just having a cordial and friendly exchange with him, if he really wants to do it, he will already lie on the ground." ”
At the same time, the remaining hand was behind his back, and the dagger that flashed red instantly appeared in the palm of his hand. The old butler frowned fiercely and wanted to say something more, but suddenly felt an inexplicable coercion that suppressed him speechlessly, and his body trembled a little.
His gaze swept over Shen Yu's exaggerated face, and then he retracted the steps he was about to take, and said in a low voice: "I believe in Miss Lingge's proportionality, so I won't bother, I'll go and prepare afternoon tea for the little master and the two young ladies." ”
"Go ahead." Xia Ling said.
Shen Yu struggled a few times to break free of Xia Lingge's hand, twisted his neck twice and muttered to the old butler's disappearing back: "I also said that Young Master Ben is important, but in the face of the evil forces, he ran faster than anyone else." ”
"So it can be seen that it is the person trained by the little young master." Xia Lingge patted him on the shoulder, "Don't rest, find the property early and call it a day early, I have a hunch that I will be able to find it soon this time." ”
Shen Yu snorted and walked away slowly.
Bai Weiwei, who was slumped on the ground, still lowered her head and didn't know what to think, her long black hair fell down to cover her face, making it impossible to see what her emotions were.
Xia Lingge retracted his gaze and walked out of the bedroom.
……
"Nope."
The three of them regrouped and shook their heads. Si Cheng frowned and said: "I have searched the first and second floors, and even the underground storage room, wine cellar and grocery room have also been searched, but I have not found any trace of that person." ”
"Except for one place."
Shen Yu's eyes flickered and he smiled darkly: "The underground altar in the study." ”
Si Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Xia Lingge. Xia Lingge knew what they were hesitating about, although the ghost bride had already dissipated, but it was difficult to guarantee that there was nothing else in the altar, they didn't know what the identity of that person was, what his main purpose was, and it might be dangerous to act rashly.
"Do you want to go or not, don't you know if you test it?"
Xia Lingge leaned lazily on the second-floor stairs, turned his head and looked down faintly, the old housekeeper made cakes and tea and brought them to the table and put them down, and picked up a cup of sweet hot milk and put it in front of Bai Weiwei to comfort him softly.
She looked at the girl in the white dress, her eyes flickering.
……
"Study? I? ”
Bai Weiwei was stunned and seemed a little at a loss, she held the glass and looked a little struggling, and hesitated for a long time before raising her head and asking, "Are you really sure that the fake butler will be in the underground altar?" ”
"I'm not sure, that's why I'm looking for it." Xia Ling said.
Bai Weiwei took a sip of hot milk, and then said with a firm gaze: "Okay." In order to leave the game as soon as possible, I will go with you. ”
Xia Lingge, Si Cheng and Shen Yu glanced at each other.
"Study?"
The old housekeeper frowned slightly when he heard their conversation, and his eyes fell on Shen Yu for a moment, and then he said to Xia Lingge: "Miss Lingge, no offense, I want to know what you are going to do in the study?" ”
"Can't you?"
Xia Lingge didn't answer the rhetorical question.
The old butler sluggishly pushed down the frame of his glasses: "Not really." You're the daughter of Lord Kloster, and you can step anywhere in this castle, but I don't know why you have to go to the Lord's study? ”
"Learn." Xia Lingge's face did not change, "As one of the inheritors of the Kloster family, I feel that I have an obligation to learn about the family. ”
The old butler was stunned for a moment.
Xia Lingge was even more keenly aware that he glanced at Shen Yu silently, maybe there were too many people to refuse, but the old housekeeper squirmed his lower lip but still compromised: "Okay, you must handle the things in the study with care, return them to their original places after use, and you can't move them casually." ”
"Okay."
Xia Lingge replied.
Before the four of them came to the study, they skillfully opened the door of the dark room again, Shen Yu and Bai Weiwei were about to go down without hesitation, but Xia Lingge suddenly said loudly: "Wait a minute." ”
