Jian Yao didn't know when she let go of her hand holding the handle of the teacup. She was rubbing the skin on her fingers.
In this case about the Duke, she seems to have done nothing, and has never appeared in this case. She is a veritable "marginal figure".
But there is still a crucial doubt, that is, did the Duke get this scroll with his own hands from the God of Fools and Lies, or did he get it from someone else?
If the situation at that time was the former, then everything that happened after that was the Duke's fault. But if someone else gave the scroll to the Duke, and it was also hinted that the Duke used his eldest son as the first sacrifice,
So who can profit from this?
Jian Yao turned her attention to Gray. The person who most clearly desired the position of Duke in the castle was this so-called adopted son.
Although he was not related by blood to the Duke, he only needed to get rid of the Duke's eldest son, and the remaining daughter who was related by blood was nothing to be afraid of.
Because Liz was engaged to the heir of another duke a few years ago, she would marry into that duke's family and become the duchess there. Naturally, she would not be able to inherit the duke's position here.
In addition, Chen Jiu was not a member of the Duke's family, and Wu Jiu had a gloomy personality and was always unpopular. He did not let the Duke remember him as a person, and it was even more impossible for him to inherit the position of Duke.
As for the other servants in this castle, it is impossible for them to inherit the position of the Duke. They may only be bribed to do things for others.
Everyone's motives are clear, but Gray's motives are the most wrong. It would be completely impossible if he didn't do something else.
After all, it can be seen from his behavior of coughing to attract the attention of the guests present before every speech that he really hopes to get other people's eyes, especially the kind of admiration and looking up eyes.
Therefore, he will crave power even more. Only power can make him a superior person, and only having power can allow him to live the life he wants.
But if all this really develops as Jian Yao thinks, then where did Gray get this scroll, and how did he know that the Duke would die because of this magic circle.
There are too many doubts here, and if asked directly, Gray would not necessarily tell the truth to her.
But now time is running out. If Gray dies later, he will really take the secrets about the Duke's case into the coffin, and then he can only guess blindly.
Jian Yao's black eyelashes and dark brown eyes looked a bit gentle under the sunlight outside the window, but the look she looked at Gray was like a sharp blade, directly penetrating his disguised human skin and stabbing him.
His dirty soul.
"Do you know a scroll? There is a pattern of a magic circle on it, and it also says that any wish can be realized." Jian Yao stared at Gray, unwilling to miss anything wrong with him.
Gray touched his nose, rubbed his hands on the table, and showed a confused expression: "I don't understand what you are talking about, Master Jian Yue. I have never seen any scrolls."
Jian Yao noticed Gray's little actions, touching his nose and rubbing his hands, which were all obvious signs of lying. This also meant that Gray was lying and he definitely knew about the scroll.
"You know that I am a loyal believer of my God, and I am also my God's favored one. Lying in front of me is like stripping off your clothes and running naked."
This is a lie. Jian Yao doesn't know if he really lied or what he was telling a lie about. She just used her status as a follower of the God of Lies to deceive him.
But it was obvious that Gray was really frightened by Jian Yao's words, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
It was obviously a season when the sun was still a bit scorching, but Gray felt as if he was in the middle of winter.
Forget it, Gray gritted his teeth. After breaking away from the role, he completely gave up the struggle in his heart. At worst, he wouldn't get any points.
Gray spread his hands helplessly. He didn't expect that his hidden mission would fail on the third day. He originally thought that he could survive longer, and maybe it wouldn't be a problem to pass the level.
Can we only say that she is worthy of being the girlfriend of the top player and a new dark horse anchor who has been in the limelight recently? It seems that she did not rely on her boyfriend's fame to get where she is now, but she really has some ability.
Only now did Gray truly recognize from the bottom of his heart this female player who he had previously looked down upon.
"Okay, okay, the Duke's scroll was indeed given to me."
Gray first admitted what he had done, and then slowly told the story of the incident.
Although Gray is apparently the adopted son of the Duke's family, his true life experience is that he is the Duke's true first child.
It’s just that his biological mother cannot be exposed to be related to the Duke, and there is no way to stay with her to raise him.
So, one rainy night, as a baby, he was sent to the Duke's castle.
Although the Duke at that time was a bastard, he still loved his first-born child, so he made him his adopted son. He could also earn some good reputation from others, so why not?
It's just that Gray lives in this castle as the adopted son of a duke, so it is inevitable that he will feel like he is dependent on someone else.
His initial status was not even as good as that of a servant. If he hadn't often flattered and flattered the Duke later, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the status he has today.
It wasn't until Gray grew up that he realized that he was indeed the Duke's child, so he should have his share of the Duke's position.
Hatred and resentment towards the Duke, jealousy towards the Duke's other children, desire and greed for power...
These emotions piled up in Gray's heart, making him more and more perverted.
Until one day, he met that man.
He went to the downtown area because he had something to do, and it was the man he met in the downtown area.
He stands out just by standing in the crowd because he has great looks and is a rare handsome man.
But for some reason, the people around him seemed not to see his face, and regarded him as an ordinary-looking person, minding his own business.
As if he was possessed, Gray followed this man to an extremely remote alley.
The man seemed to have the ability to read minds. He saw through his heart at a glance and gave him a scroll.
Gray didn't dare to accept what the stranger handed him at the first time, but the man's next words dispelled his doubts like magic.
The man with outstanding appearance said: "You only need to show this scroll to your father, saying that there is a method to realize any wish on this scroll, and hinting that your father will sacrifice his eldest son who has been sick for many years, and you can
