Chapter 528: The Past

Chapter 528 Past events

The wooden door is locked.

"Let me out! How dare you?!..."

This is not Xiaolan's own voice.

Xiaolan saw other people's experiences again, but this memory didn't seem to belong to the little maid.

"What are you going to do?! I am the mistress here!..." I shouted heartbreakingly, "And I just found out..."

Before he finished speaking, the owner of the body covered his mouth, squatted on the ground and coughed desperately.

Through the corner of her eye, Xiaolan saw a person lying on the stone bed in the center of the room.

The owner of this body just said that she discovered something.

Is this the corpse?

My coughing became worse and worse, and my body gradually lost strength.

It's over, it's over, she's going to die.

Xiaolan tried her best to stretch her neck and take a look at the corpse on the stone bed.

Please, go a little further inside...

The flames burned in the stone house, spreading along the corners of the room, and soon reached the wooden door.

With a breath left, he struggled to get up and moved tremblingly to the center of the room where the flames were not yet invaded.

With tears in her eyes, she looked back at the body on the stone bed.

Xiaolan also saw it.

It was the body of a pale female.

Although it is dead, one can still distinguish the beauty of this face in life, but most of this beauty is destroyed by the expression of the corpse.

The female corpse on the stone bed had its eyes cracked, her mouth wide open, and two lines of blood hanging from the corners of her eyes. Her face was extremely hideous, as if she had suffered extreme fear and pain during her lifetime.

Of course, this face is also unfamiliar.

His body only glanced at the female corpse, and then fell to the ground faintly.

Finally, amid the crackling sound of the flames and his own vague curses, Xiaolan's consciousness left this body and returned to his own body.

She opened the white cloth with a splash, arched her body and coughed.

I have never felt that the fresh air is so refreshing. Indeed, I will never realize how happy I am to be able to breathe normally until I am burned to death.

The body of the blonde maid lay on her side on the other side, as if she was angry with her.

While coughing, Xiaolan returned to the ground, reached out to pick up the body of the blonde maid, and covered it with a white cloth.

If his guess was correct, he had just entered the memory of the death of his wife who was burned to death.

So whose body was found by the wife?

Judging from her reaction, this was obviously a big discovery, and it was even possible that she was killed at the same time she discovered the body.

Did Moses move his hands this time too?

Xiaolan shook her head and returned to the wooden door.

"Hello!" Xiaolan knocked on the door, "Hello!"

There was a rustling sound outside the door.

After a while, a cautious male voice sounded, "What can I do for you?"

It sounded like it was the manservant who gave him the lamp.

"That...the candle is about to burn out," Xiaolan turned her head and glanced at the swaying flame, "Can you give me a new candle?"

Xiaolan heard the manservant sigh, and then the footsteps slowly left and returned within a few minutes.

The valet opened the wooden window and handed in a brand new white candle, "Just... can you light a fire?"

"What's wrong with this?" Xiaolan smiled at the manservant.

The young manservant blushed and quickly looked away, "No...it's just...you have always been the master...no...no...I mean..."

"You don't have to worry," Xiaolan replied cheerfully, "The basement is full of rocks anyway, can I still light it on fire?"

The manservant's shoulders were clearly shaking, and he hesitated to close the wooden window again.

"Wait, wait a minute," Xiaolan reached out and blocked the wooden window, "Excuse me, what time is it now?"

The valet turned and glanced at the clock, "Yes...it's ten forty in the morning."

Xiaolan nodded, "Thank you."

It seems that the servants here should know about the fire.

Xiaolan thought about the little red-haired girl again.

The more I investigate, the more I feel that there are many secrets hidden in this manor that outsiders don't know.

Morvern Manor is, on the surface, a magnificent manor.

In fact, it is a hell that devours outsiders.

During lunch time and dinner time, Xiaolan only had bread and milk, but Xiaolan didn't really care. After all, if she wanted to eat, she could just sneak out to find something to eat at night.

Xiaolan lay on the ground and recharged her energy throughout the day.

Not long after dinner, there was a faint conversation outside the door. Xiaolan heard the familiar voice of the red-haired maid and knew that it was time for the two of them to change shifts.

Sure enough, after the manservant left, the wooden window was opened.

"How are you?" the maid asked with concern.

"I'm fine," Xiaolan happily approached the door, "What about you? You haven't been discovered, right?"

"No, Miss Yirel has been very busy recently and has no time to check those places."

Xiaolan thought for a while, "I may have to do it tonight..."

"Are you going out tonight?" The maid looked back, "But you may have to wait a while, everyone hasn't rested yet..."

"I understand, I understand," Xiaolan took a deep breath, "Before that, I want to ask you something first."

The maid seemed to feel something strange in the air, "What?"

Through the wooden window, Xiaolan and the maid looked at each other, "I want to know what happened to the previous ladies."

The maid's eyes were obviously panicked, as if these words had violated some taboo.

"What's wrong?" Xiaolan asked, "Can't you tell me?"

"It's not that I can't say..." The maid's eyes flashed with fear, "It's just..."

Xiaolan waited quietly.

"Didn't Miss Yirel tell you?" the maid asked.

Xiaolan thought for a while, "At present, I only know that the previous ladies have left Mr. Mo Wen due to various reasons..."

When the maid nodded, Xiaolan continued, "Can you tell me what happened to the ladies?"

The maid looked around and said, "You must never tell anyone."

Xiaolan almost laughed, but she still pretended to be serious and nodded.

"When the first lady was alive, I hadn't come here yet. I just heard that she passed away while giving birth to Miss Lily. After the first lady's death, the manor recruited many servants again. It is said that it was because...

Many of the original servants followed the lady, or they could not bear the death of the lady and left the manor. When I came, Miss Yrel was the only original servant. What was the first lady when she was alive?

It seems that only Miss Yirel knows the specific details..."

Thanks to Little Spider for the tip! ヾ(≧O≦)〃嗷~
