"You shouldn't reject Mr. Henry so quickly. As long as he is willing to pursue you, you will have a steady stream of gains, not only status, but also money, and even high-end equipment."

A clear female voice came into Lianyi's ears.

Ripple turned around and saw a pretty red-haired girl with a hairband of the same color. She had a round face and big eyes. She was only 1.6 meters tall. She was wearing a Lolita tutu skirt and looked cute.

"Really? I don't know! No one reminded me. If I had known, I wouldn't have refused Mr. Henry."

Although Lianyi said it was a pity, there was no regret in her tone.

"Of course they won't remind you, you are a very strong competitor."

"Really! I also think I have this strength."

Ripple stroked his black hair and said with a smile.

This time the red-haired girl didn't answer, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

"What about you? Don't you want to please Mr. Henry? Although you are worse than me, you are much better than those people."

Ripple glanced at the red-haired girl and raised her eyebrows.

"I'm a distant relative of Mr. Henry, and I'm just here as a guest. My name is Lacey, what's yours?"

"Just call me Ripple."

"Nice to meet you, Miss Ripple!"

"Miss Lacey, when will the reception end? I'm a little tired."

Ripple asked with a yawn. She thought this kind of occasion was the most boring.

"I'll ask the valet to take you to the guest room to rest. The reception will last for half a month. The guests come from different places and arrive at different times, so the castle has prepared many guest rooms."

Lacey said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you!"

Lacey waved, and the valet who had brought Ripple into the reception came in. After listening to Lacey's instructions, he respectfully left the reception with Ripple.

The two walked down the long corridor one after another. After reaching the second floor, the valet opened the door of a guest room near the stairs:
"Miss Lianyi, this is your room. Please rest here tonight."

"Okay, thank you."

Ripple directly threw a gold coin to the other party, and then asked with a smile:

"I heard that there are some taboos in castles with a long history. Is there one in Dracula's Castle?"

The manservant received the gold coins and was very happy. He carefully stuffed the gold coins into his sleeves. When he heard Ripple's question, he lowered his voice and said:

"Miss Lianyi, when the lights in the castle are out, no matter what sound you hear, please do not leave the room, and do not go to the third floor of the castle. No one is allowed to go up there except members of the Dracula family. ."

"I understand. Thank you for reminding me. I will stay in the room."

"Okay, I won't disturb the lady's rest. I'll leave first."

The valet bowed and bowed, then exited the guest room and closed the door thoughtfully.

Lianyi locked the door directly, then walked around the guest room, looking at the portrait hanging on the bedside, she curled up her lips, took off her shoes, stepped on the bed, and lifted the heavy portrait with one hand. The painting was taken down.

Then he threw the entire picture frame directly into an empty closet, and wrapped the handle of the closet with life-threatening thread. Then he went to the bathroom, took a nice bath, and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, there was a woman's scream echoing in the corridor, and there seemed to be the sound of the door opening, and then there were random footsteps. None of these affected Ripple's rest, but the cabinet was entangled with life-threatening threads in the second half of the night. After moving twice, something seemed to be rushing out of the cabinet.

Ripple then opened her eyes and said impatiently:
"What a disturbing dream!"

She turned her wrist, and as if she had received instructions, she branched out one of the life-threatening threads and went directly into the cabinet. After a scream of "roar", there was no movement in the cabinet.

Ripple turned over and continued to sleep.

After Lianyi woke up naturally from sleep, she got up to wash up. Then she heard a knock on the door:

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Miss Lianyi, I'm here to bring you new clothes." It was the valet from last night.

Ripple opened the door and saw two maids following the male servant. They both lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Ripple. Each of them had a tray in their hands, which contained exquisite Chinese clothes, which were obviously sent for Ripple to wear. of.

"come in!"

Ripple waved his hand casually, and the manservant led the two of them into the room.

"Let the two of them change their clothes, and then I will take you to the restaurant for dinner."

After the manservant finished speaking, he exited the room, but before closing the door, he specifically looked at the direction of the bed.

With the help of two maids, Ripple put on the maroon dress in three layers, then held up the skirt and went to the restaurant on the first floor.

Henry was radiant and had changed into a navy blue dress. He was sitting at the main seat. There were various meals on the long table in front of him. There were already ten people sitting there, all of whom had attended the cocktail party last night. The beauties, after seeing the ripples, each of them has a different expression.

Henry's eyes lit up at the main seat, and he asked with a smile:

"Miss Lianyi, did you have a good rest last night?"

Henry stood up as he asked, and in a very gentlemanly manner helped Ripple pull out the chair and let her sit down.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Henry. I went to bed early last night, but I seemed to hear a scream in the middle of the night. I don't know if I heard it wrong."

After Ripple finished speaking, she asked Lacey, who was sitting opposite her:

"Miss Lacey, did you hear that?"

"Hey! Someone went out to look for food in the middle of the night, and then missed the step and fell from the second floor. That's why the guests were alarmed."

Lacey said helplessly.

"That's it! When I went up to the second floor, I did find that the stairs were quite long. I wonder if the person was seriously injured?"

"She broke her neck."

Lacey could only say helplessly.

"Dead?"

Ripple pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, covering her mouth.

"What's all the fuss about? Who asked her to go downstairs alone? If she had called the valet and lit the lamp and went downstairs, no accident would have happened."

A beautiful woman said disdainfully.

"I deeply regret Yilin's departure. I have sent the housekeeper to transport her body away and made compensation to her family. May she rest in peace."

Henry said sadly.

"Mr. Henry, is Miss Irene your favorite wife?"

Ripple did not answer the previous woman's words, but asked Henry.

"I have a good impression of Miss Yilin. Last night we admired the moon together. She promised to stay in the castle for a few more days. In the end, I personally sent her back to the room. I didn't expect that such a shocking thing happened in just one night. Sentimental things.”

Henry said helplessly.

"If Mr. Henry likes Miss Yilin so much, why don't you give her a few more pieces of equipment? It's because your love is not strong enough. Otherwise, why wouldn't you put more effort into protecting your loved one despite knowing that your beloved is in danger?"

Lianyi said to the point.

"Miss Lianyi, how do I know she will leave the room in the middle of the night?"

Henry said a little aggrievedly.

"Mr. Henry, they all want to be your wife. Before you decide on the final candidate, one less person means one less competitor. What do you think they will do?"

Dear friends, there is still time before ten o'clock. Fengling will go to code after dinner, mainly due to some glitches. Thank you for your patience!It’s the end of the month, please vote monthly! (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭~
