Chapter 11 Windsor Castle (10)

At that time, the housekeeper knocked on all the doors and walked around the castle, but she didn't see Xu Zhinian there.

When she was about to tell her men to find someone, Xu Zhinian walked into the lobby on the first floor of the castle.

Seeing this, the housekeeper immediately stepped forward: "Miss Longguo, where have you been? It's already dinner time."

Xu Zhinian nodded calmly: "I'll go check out the nearby town. I didn't miss dinner time, right?"

"No, just in time."

"Oh! That's good." Xu Zhinian patted his chest gently with both hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I laughed. It turns out that what Sister Xu cares about most is eating."

"Nonsense, I obviously care about the clues to be exchanged at the dinner table."

"Pfft, upstairs, don't you want to laugh when you say this?"

The housekeeper looked at Xu Zhinian sadly, but in the end she just said "Follow me" and walked in front to lead the way.

Soon, the two came to the restaurant on the basement floor of the castle again.

The customs clearance personnel from the other four countries had already been sitting on their chairs. They glanced at Xu Zhinian before he came, and sneered again.

Balu: "A vase is a vase. I just said it at noon, and I was late again at dinner."

Wen Tu: "That's right, if she is late every day, the Dragon Kingdom will be destroyed sooner or later if she is there."

……

"I'm speechless. How come these two people keep staring at Sister Xu all day long?"

"I'm so angry. If I couldn't attack my companions, Sister Xu would have slapped them both."

"We, the Dragon Kingdom, have been destroyed. It's a beautiful thought. Both the Luochuan Kingdom and the Furong Kingdom have been destroyed, and our Dragon Kingdom will be fine too!"

……

Xu Zhinian was already used to this.

She pulled out the chair in front of the dining table and sat down. She glanced at Balu and Wentu speechlessly, then turned to look at the housekeeper.

It wasn't until she came over with the dining cart that Xu Zhinian turned his attention to today's dinner.

The dim light shines through the silver tableware, and part of the luster is reflected, making it look shiny.

But this does not affect the fact that the protagonist on the table is not the tableware, but the food.

Xu Zhinian quickly browsed tonight's dishes, including: duck breast, foie gras, grilled toast, onion soup...

Without exception, everything on the table tonight revolves around the magic of blue.It looks like you can eat with peace of mind.

Still halfway through eating, Eliade of Jiashui Kingdom started talking about exchanging clues.

Everyone agreed.

However, when Eliade was about to talk about the clues he had found during the afternoon, the housekeeper suddenly came over.She tapped the tabletop of the dining table with her hand: "Please keep quiet, and no whispering during the meal."

Eliade became quiet for a moment. He didn't want to make the housekeeper unhappy by exchanging clues.Wentu has learned a lesson from the past, and no one wants to make the same mistake again.

Balu and Wentu, who were still whispering to each other, fell silent instantly.

Xu Zhinian looked at each other, and it seemed that the exchange of clues could not be achieved.She took a sip of mushroom soup and decided to fill her stomach first and then go to the room on the second floor of the castle later.

She remembered the first rule: from midnight to six in the morning, do not walk around in the castle.

Perhaps, if you go to that room during this time period, you can make some other discoveries?

Soon everyone was full and full. The housekeeper pushed the dining cart and took away the tableware and remaining food on the table.

Balu still wanted to exchange clues, so he just said: "Now that we have finished eating, exchanging clues should not be counted as whispering during the meal."

The housekeeper rolled her eyes at him, scaring him so much that he quickly interrupted: "I'm just saying casually, let's go, let's go." "Pfft, you're a coward."

"They just talk about being great, but in reality they are nothing."

"Among this group of people, our sister Xu has to be the most powerful."

After everyone else walked out of the restaurant, Xu Zhinian walked out slowly.

Just as she walked down the stairs to the first floor, someone suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her aside.

Xu Zhinian almost slapped him away, but when he turned around and saw that it was Sidney from Coconut Country, he quickly stopped his hand: "?"

Sidney had never seen this scene before. Even if he was not hit, he covered his face: "It's me, it's me! Sidney from the Coconut Country."

"I'm here to tell you that we decided to exchange clues in the corridor of the guest room on the third floor at eight o'clock in the evening."

Xu Zhinian nodded: "I understand, thank you."

Sidney shook his fist and left as if running away.Xu Zhinian looked at his back and could still see his hands touching his face.

"Pfft, this time he was bitten by a snake once and has been afraid of well ropes for ten years."

"It's so funny, Sister Xu almost stopped her just now."

"There was a slap, and Sidney was dejected: Sister Xu, why did you hit me?"

*
Dinner starts at six o'clock in the evening. I just finished eating and it's not yet seven o'clock in the evening.

It was less than two hours before eight o'clock in the evening, and Xu Zhinian decided to look for clues again.

While thinking about it, Xu Zhinian didn't stop.Walking, she walked to the garden again.

The garden at night was dotted with stars, and the cold moonlight cast a layer of white.

She turned her head and saw the gardener packing his tools not far away.Next to the gardener, there was a little girl standing, whom she had never seen before.

Out of curiosity, she walked towards the gardener and the little girl.

As soon as she got closer this time, the gardener noticed her.

He raised his head and stared with an expression of enlightenment: "Ah, it turns out it's Miss Long Guo who came here during the day. What's the matter with you coming to me so late?"

Xu Zhinian responded: "Good evening. Who is this little girl?"

The gardener turned to look at the little girl beside him and pulled her closer to him: "This is my daughter. Thanks to the kindness of the earl, otherwise I wouldn't be able to live in the castle with my daughter."

"So that's it." Xu Zhinian looked at the little girl with a profound look on his face.

"Everyone, I don't think the little girl's identity is that simple."

"What do you mean? Do you still remember what was inside that doll?"

"You mean, the Countess, the letter she wrote to her daughter?"

Xu Zhinian approached the little girl and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Little sister, how old are you this year?"

The little girl seemed to be afraid of strangers and hid behind the gardener, but did not answer Xu Zhinian's question.

The gardener put down the tools he was packing and protected his "daughter": "Miss Longguo, please don't do this. My daughter has been frightened since she was a child and is very afraid of life."

Xu Zhinian nodded and took a half step back knowingly.

Absolutely wrong!
This little girl looks to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. She is as old as a gardener and could be her grandfather. How could she be related as a "daughter"?

But looking at the gardener's posture, he would never say that.

Xu Zhinian was very knowledgeable, and at least he had another clue in the direction.

She paused and then asked: "Uncle Gardener, do you still remember the scene at the wedding of the current countess 11 years ago?"
