Chapter 238 Lin Mansion 33
With the guarantee of the contract, Yun Chu felt relieved to tell Yin Hui all the information he had obtained so far.
Including the strange man who came out of Aunt Hua's room in the middle of the night and the fact that he inexplicably lost consciousness last night.
"You mean you suddenly lost consciousness last night? You have no recollection of it at all?"
Yin Hui was not at the scene, so he naturally could not understand the panic in Yun Chu's heart.
"I really have no recollection of it at all. It was a sudden blackout. No matter how sleepy I am, I won't suddenly lose consciousness."
Yun Chu thought that she had gone through so many dungeons. Although she was not that powerful, she still had some experience. But what happened last night made her feel horrified.
The only person who came to the eldest lady's room last night was Master Lin. Assuming that it was Master Lin who knocked her unconscious last night, his ability must have been so powerful that she didn't even notice it.
Yun Chu even felt a little scared. If Master Lin had intended to kill her last night, it was still unknown whether she would be alive now.
“If it was really done by Master Lin, then he is most likely the most hidden person in the Lin Mansion.
But I really want to know why he knocked you out? Isn't it normal for him to go to his wife's room to sleep?"
Facing Yin Hui's doubts, Yun Chu had no clue. She couldn't understand Master Lin's actions. Moreover, although they had discussed for so long and put the suspicion on Master Lin, Yun Chu couldn't guarantee that Master Lin was the murderer without seeing the murderer with her own eyes.
It’s just that Mr. Lin is the biggest suspect at the moment.
"I'm still on duty tonight, but I've already made an appointment with another player in advance. She will take over for me while I hide in the corner and observe."
This is also the reason why Yun Chu is willing to give the clearance conditions to Ding You.
The person who knocked her out was very skilled, and she fainted without even realizing it.
If she continued to keep watch tonight, she might faint again, so it would be best to find someone else to replace her so that she could observe everything secretly.
By then it will be clear who the murderer is.
Yin Hui nodded. Now he could only start with Master Lin. Although he was with Master Lin, he could not show up often because of his status.
If the master didn't go out, he could only stay in the stable, and it would be very troublesome to go into the backyard to look for information.
Yun Chu looked at the time. She had been out for a long time. It was time to go back. Disappearing for too long would easily arouse suspicion.
"By the way, this is for you. If you find anything, you can use this to inform me. We'll meet here."
As he spoke, Yin Hui handed Yun Chu a black object.
Yun Chu held the thing in his hand and looked at it in confusion but couldn't tell what it was.
"What is this? A black coal doll?"
It was very small and completely black. The strange thing was that it had a pair of eyes that moved around as if it was curious about the surrounding situation.
Yun Chu pinched it curiously, and it felt soft.
“Eh!! Ah!!”
The black coal ball suddenly let out a shrill scream, and Yun Chu was so scared that she tried to cover its mouth in a panic. At the same time, she looked around anxiously for fear of attracting other people's attention.
"What the hell! What on earth is this thing?!"
How can a little thing like that still cry?
Yin Hui looked at Yun Chu's panicked look and curled his lips: "Its name is Xiao Hei, if you need to find me next time, just tell it."
"Just tell it and you'll know?" That's pretty magical.
Yun Chu held Xiao Hei carefully. As long as it didn't scream, it would be fine. She was really scared.
Yin Hui nodded, "I created it, so there is a connection between us. Also, it hates being pinched the most. If someone pinches it, the consequence will be just like what happened just now."
Yun Chu looked at herself from head to toe. The maid's uniform didn't have any pockets, so she had no choice but to put Xiao Hei on her shoulders temporarily. She would make a nest for it when she returned to the room.
"Does it want to eat? I've never had a pet."
Yun Chu was a bit troubled. She had picked up a stray cat before, but it was thrown away by her aunt. Since then, she has never kept a pet again.
Now that she suddenly has to accept Xiao Hei, she really doesn't know what to do.
"Xiao Hei can survive by just drinking water, so you don't have to worry about him eating."
Yun Chu breathed a sigh of relief. This was the best. She had been worried that she wouldn't be able to raise Xiao Hei well. Now that he only needed to drink water, it would be very easy to keep him alive.
*
On the way back to Wutong Courtyard, Yun Chu walked carefully, looking at Xiao Hei lying on his shoulder from time to time, fearing that it would fall down accidentally.
But the reality was different from what she thought. Xiao Hei not only did not fall, but was firmly stuck on Yun Chu's face.
After walking a short distance and making sure that Xiao Hei would not fall, Yun Chu finally felt relieved.
Passing through a patch of flowers, a pretty woman came towards him. Before Yun Chu could see who she was, he heard her excitedly shouting,
"Sister Yunchu!"
Yun Chu took a closer look and found that this was Qian Xing, whose clothes had been ruined by Shui Lian in the big kitchen.
"Qian Xing, why are you here? What are you doing?"
Qian Xing was carrying a bag at the moment, with an uncontrollable smile on her face.
"I am leaving the house and going home. Tomorrow is the day I will...be engaged."
As she spoke, Qian Xing's face turned slightly red.
Yun Chu remembered that Qian Xing did say that she was going to get engaged, but she didn't expect it to be tomorrow.
"Congratulations, I wish you a happy life with many children and grandchildren."
Qian Xing smiled shyly: "Come to think of it, I should thank you, sister."
"Thank me?"
Qian Xing nodded: "You also know that my engagement dress was destroyed. Sister Jingyue came over and gave me a dress personally.
I saw it and it was very beautiful, even better than the one I had before. Besides, the lady also gave me some silver as a reward.”
As she spoke, she wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "How could a lowly maid like me receive so much compensation? I think it must be because of you, sister."
Yun Chu felt somewhat innocent. This matter really had nothing to do with her. She didn't mention anything, and the eldest lady took the initiative to compensate Qian Xing.
"It really has nothing to do with me. It's just that the eldest lady is kind-hearted."
Qian Xing naturally thought that Yun Chu was being modest: "Sister, don't say that. You are a first-class maid who came out of our big kitchen. It's a great honor for our big kitchen."
Yun Chu was helpless. Fine, she had already explained it anyway, and there was nothing she could do if the other party didn't listen.
Qian Xing looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then pulled Yun Chu's sleeve.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Qian Xing bit her lip: "Sister, I'll tell you a secret."
"secret?"
Speaking of secrets, Yun Chu became interested and immediately came over. He only heard Qian Xing whisper,
"It is very likely that the young masters and young ladies in the mansion are not the master's children."
what? !
What kind of gossip gathering place is this Lin Mansion? Why are there so many different kinds of gossips coming out one after another?
