Alien landlady

Chapter 6 The Funeral Attack
After crossing half of the city and returning to the hotel, Bai Tongtong went into her room and spread the clean clothes in the closet all over the bed. When she was folding and tidying up each piece, Seya knocked on her door, but she didn't go out for shopping.

Seya asked the waiter to keep an eye on Bai Tongtong's whereabouts, so that he could come over and intercept her so quickly, ask about the new job situation, and learned that she was hired and would stay at the employer's house tonight, and when she would return to the city tomorrow afternoon, Seya would She started lobbying, coquettishly begging to use all of it, and insisted that Bai Tongtong get out of the room and move to her new home, not counting her rent, but only asking for a good companion.

Bai Tongtong was so worn out by her that she couldn't lose her temper, so she had to agree. Seya immediately took her arm and wanted to take her to see the house. Now Galty's servants are putting in the daily necessities, including mattresses and quilt covers. , Seya wants Bai Tongtong to pick out a set she likes, and identify the house by the way, so she can go there directly when she returns to the city tomorrow.

Quickly packed up the luggage, and asked Seiya to help her pack the clothes that the hotel had cleaned this morning. The two went downstairs to check out together, and walked to No. 323.

It was a two-and-a-half-story detached house with a beautiful red pointed roof, suitable for a family of three or five and two or three servants. Mr. Galty rented it for his fiancée early, and cleaned and ventilated it once a week, so yesterday When the servants came to tidy up, there was not much labor involved, but today it took some time to bring in the daily necessities and arrange them so that they can be moved in.

Seya naturally lives in the master bedroom on the east end of the second floor, with a window on the south wall. The second bedroom she reserved for Bai Tongtong is at the west end of the corridor. It also has a window on the south wall, and the sunlight is second only to the master bedroom.

Both Fern and Laurie work here, Laurie is responsible for moving things downstairs, and Fern is upstairs arranging the master bedroom according to Seiya's living habits.

The servants already know that Ms. *** has a very good female mercenary friend, and they may live together, so the furniture and bedding needed for the second bedroom are already in place immediately behind the master bedroom, it just takes a little time Arrange it well.

Instructing the servants to move the furniture to a new location, the rest of the room layout is the women's business, Seiya didn't go back to her room to see, and stayed with Bai Tongtong all the time, helping her, helping her make the bed After being quilt, put the clean clothes into the closet by category, and went to the living room downstairs to choose the color of the curtains, and let the servants install them.

The kitchen was ready for use, and the servants didn't go back. A large group of people cooked some simple light meals in the new house at noon. Bai Tongtong took the opportunity to ask about Mrs. Hope, but none of the servants wanted to talk about it. At most, Mr. Frish, the butler, reminded Bai Tongtong to pay more attention to safety tomorrow.

Mr. Flish's vague but huge amount of information made Seiya also nervous, but at this time, it was too late to repent. If the news spread, Bai Tongtong would not be able to receive any more calls in the city. Aristocratic female family members are now working as bodyguards.

Jobs that are easy to make money and have a lot of money are so easy to find, and the dangers are generally not high. How can delicate ladies have high-risk enemies, right?

What's more, tomorrow is the funeral. Could it be that someone is playing kidnapping at the funeral?Terrorist activities?
It is really unexpected that there will be any danger tomorrow, Bai Tongtong shook his head, put it behind him, finished his lunch, took a nap, hugged and said goodbye to Seiya, and drove to Viscount Hope's Mansion on the front street of Wan En Knights .

The concierge had already recognized Bai Tongtong, let her in directly, and handed her over to a little maid to take her to her attic bedroom tonight, and then the wife of the housekeeper walked in with her hands and brought several maid dresses of different sizes to Bai Tongtong for her to try on. , leaving a well-fitting dress as her tomorrow's identity disguise.

Tomorrow, Bai Tongtong's mission is to dress up as Mrs. Hope's personal maid, and accompany her around, never leaving her.On tomorrow's occasion, it is not convenient for the male knight to be there at any time, but the maid is unimpeded.

The maid skirts were all close-fitting, so Bai Tongtong had no choice but to take off her leather armor and coat, and only put on the tightest underwear and trousers, and then put on a skirt. Fortunately, the skirt was ankle-length, covering her short boots and only showing a little From the tip of the shoe, it was impossible to tell whether it was an ordinary woman's shoe or a mercenary boot.

Don't think that the disguise is complete after changing the clothes. Even the hairstyle has to be changed into a maid's head, with two twisted braids crossed and fixed behind the head. The general hairstyle of an unmarried maid, a little light makeup and eyebrows have to be trimmed.

The housekeeper's wife and her assistants looked left and right around the dressed Bai Tongtong, and finally nodded in satisfaction with her appearance, but Bai Tongtong suddenly realized that these were nothing, and the most painful part of the disguise preparation was next. links.

Receive training in maid etiquette.

Wearing a maid's outfit but acting like a mercenary, what kind of disguise can this be called?
Bai Tongtong practiced martial arts since he was a child. He is in pretty good shape. He holds his head up and his chest up very well. This saves the housekeeper and his wife a lot of work. They focus on training other details. After all, there will be other guests at the funeral tomorrow. Just pass those outsiders.

As a personal maid, when the master sees the guests, he must also know how to salute and greet the guests. It happens that Bai Tongtong's knowledge of social etiquette is zero. Taking this opportunity, he corrected it for a while .

Even the dialogue between the maid and the master has a fixed sentence pattern, which is simple enough to memorize it.

After finishing so many things one by one, it was soon time to prepare dinner. The housekeeper's wife asked Bai Tongtong to practice hard in the room by herself, and she took her assistants back to their posts to do things.

Bai Tongtong practiced in the room for a while, rested for a while, practiced for a while, rested for a while, over and over again, so that these unfamiliar skills could be transformed into conditioned reflexes as soon as possible.

When it was dark, a maid knocked on her door and took her downstairs to the first-class manservant, who then took her into the dining room to meet Mrs. Hope.

In the spacious dining room, the wife sat at the main seat, and on both sides sat two men, two women and four children in their teens to their twenties, all dressed in mourning clothes, looking at Bai Tongtong together.

It is self-evident who will hold the funeral tomorrow.

Bai Tongtong stood upright, showed the maid's demeanor she had just trained, walked to Mrs. Hope's left hand in small steps, bowed her body and bowed her head, and asked her what she wanted in a soft voice.

The lady with a serious face scanned Bai Tongtong up and down with sharp eyes, picked up the napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth, pushed a small box at hand to the table, and signaled Bai Tongtong to pick it up.

The box looked like a ring box, and when it was opened, there was indeed a gemstone ring with the color of earth yellow, a complete round gemstone, small and cute, although it was only the size of a pea, it was as dazzling as a diamond .

"Miss Bai..." Madam opened her mouth, Bai Tongtong held the box in both hands, and listened respectfully, "I heard that there is only one space bag beside Miss Bai, which is inconvenient to take things in an emergency. This is a space bag at home. I will lend you the ring for tomorrow."

"Thank you, Ma'am." Bai Tongtong looked calm, and he acted like this. He should have assumed that this was to prevent any serious incident at tomorrow's funeral, and this incident is very likely to happen, but no one knows how serious it will be. Just do your best to be fully prepared.

Madam not only lent her the precious ring, but also patiently taught her how to use it herself. Bai Tongtong used it for an interview and confirmed that she had fully grasped the ring before letting her go back.

Bai Tongtong left the restaurant, and the children, who had been silent all this time, began to discuss. From their point of view, this temporarily hired female mercenary already possessed the qualities of a maid who could get away with it.

"It's unbelievable. Did she really train this afternoon? She has never been a maid before?" A lady asked the housekeeper.

The housekeeper shook his head, "I'm sorry, miss, time is urgent, we don't have time to do enough background checks. But she escorted Mr. Galty's fiancée, Miss ***, Mr. Galty's fiancée, Miss *** all the way from Xinxin Town to Fort Chamington. Mr. Galty spoke Miss highly praised her, and she passed the test in the morning, I believe she is very capable."

"No matter how capable she is, I hope there won't be any accidents tomorrow. I'm willing to pay Miss Bai a few gold coins just in case, and I don't want to see her fight." The eldest young master said in a low tone.

The other brothers and sisters were silent for a moment, the wife did not interfere with the children's conversation, she drank the wine in the glass and left the table.

After Bai Tongtong left the restaurant, she was taken to the kitchen by the maids waiting outside. The dinner for the masters was over, it was time for the servants to eat, and Bai Tongtong ate with them.

After eating and washing up, she went to bed early, and everyone in the house woke up before dawn the next day. The masters, knights, and servants who were going out were all getting ready in an orderly manner. Bai Tongtong went to bed after breakfast. He was sent to Madam's side. In fact, Madam has another personal maid who has been with her for many years, so Bai Tongtong's superficial identity is to run errands for Madam, a small role, inconspicuous, and unnoticed.

For today's funeral, more than half of the people in the whole house were mobilized. Bai Tongtong shared a carriage with his wife and her personal maid. The ring was worn on the middle finger of his left hand, and the interspatial bag was already placed inside. The three weapons were also taken out and thrown into the ring , Access is indeed much more convenient than a space bag.

The funeral was held in the family cemetery, and there was still a short walk after leaving the city. No wonder I had to leave early, the road was not close.

To pass the time, Bai Tongtong took turns taking out her weapons from the ring and putting them back in, imagining various emergency scenarios in her mind, and testing the fastest time to take out her weapons.

The lady and her maid closed their eyes and rested their minds all the way, but Bai Tongtong was always awake because of the unexplained excitement, which made her even more vigilant. According to her experience, unreasonable excitement is usually not a good thing, it is her sixth sense The natural early warning mechanism of the disease rarely appears, but it cannot be ignored.

The carriage gradually slowed down and drove into a large iron gate. Then Bai Tongtong saw a tall bell tower. The knight opened the door and helped the ladies get out of the carriage. The priest who had been waiting for a long time led everyone into the hall and greeted Huo Mr. Pu said goodbye and went to the lounge to wait for the guests and funeral time.

Everyone was solemn and quiet, only the madam had a brief conversation with the priest once in a while, and no one was in the mood to chat in the lounge. Taking advantage of being alone, Bai Tongtong went outside to check the scene.

The cemetery was prepared, with a deep, rectangular hole dug, with a tombstone in front, and around the tomb were rows of seats, each with a fresh white flower.

Bai Tongtong pretended that he came out to inspect the burial site, and even squatted in front of the tombstone and wiped it with his sleeve, as if there was something dirty on the tombstone.

In this way, even if someone is already ambushing around, there will be no doubt about what a maid who appeared alone is doing here.

After standing up, Bai Tongtong also visited the old tombstone next to her. This was a normal behavior when she was in the family cemetery, and every time she turned around and looked around, she quietly observed every tree nearby. Situation behind a bush.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

After Bai Tongtong returned to the lounge, he shook his head slightly to his wife.

But she knew that the danger was still there. She felt some slight hot flashes on her body, and the unreasonable excitement tended to increase. There must be unexpected situations in this funeral.

The guests attending the funeral arrived one after another. After looking at the remains in the hall, they went to the lounge at the back to meet the bereaved family members. No one paid attention to Bai Tongtong, a fake maid.

After all the guests arrive, the funeral will be held on schedule, speeches will be delivered in the hall, and the body will be bid farewell. The wife will close the coffin lid with her own hands, and the spirit bearer will drive a wedge into the coffin to seal the coffin. , held the funeral ceremony.

The coffin was carefully placed into the tomb, family members and guests sat on the surrounding chairs, and after the priest finished the last eulogy, everyone lined up and took turns throwing flowers into the pit.

Bai Tongtong did not dare to take a step away from Mrs. Hope, her excitement disappeared, and a strong uneasiness came to her heart, but there were only relatives and friends of the Hope family around, and the knights were scattered around the cemetery, and they could be seen when they looked up. Sneaking in without their eyes, everyone here has passed the strictest background checks.

The funeral is over here, and the family members and guests can go home. This is the time when they are most relaxed psychologically. Bai Tongtong has no patience to pretend anymore, and turns her head to look around unscrupulously.

The guests who threw down the bouquets had a brief conversation with the wife, and then returned to the hall by the same route, and went out from the main entrance to get on the carriage to go home. There were fewer and fewer people on the scene, and gradually only the Hope family remained.

The knights also gathered from all directions at this time. Once the knights formed an encirclement circle, they could easily deal with a sudden attack.

Suddenly thinking of this word, Bai Tongtong's heart seemed to miss a beat. He tilted his head to think about it, and inadvertently felt the reflection from the metal objects on the ground from the corner of his eyes.

The ground is soft soil, where did the metal objects come from?

In a blink of an eye, Bai Tongtong came to his senses. He covered his wife's neck with his left hand, and grabbed her waist with his right hand. In a protective posture, he threw her down towards the grave, and threw her face down on the soil used to fill the pit. pile up.

At the same time, with a whoosh, a cold arrow shot out from the ground, flew straight in the direction of Mrs. Hope who was standing there a second before, and finally pierced into the back of a chair. The other side came out and the arrow shaft stuck on it.
