Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 529 Rumors

  The maid paused, with a strange look in her eyes.

   Xiaolan seized the opportunity and hurriedly asked, "Do you have any guesses?"

  The maid raised her eyes and looked at Xiaolan hesitantly, "That's just something passed on between our servants."

   Xiaolan loves to hear rumors, "What is it?"

   "Some of them said..." The maid leaned close to the wooden window and lowered her voice, "The first lady, it seems that she is not as kind as the rumors, and those servants don't seem to leave and... voluntarily."

   Xiaolan pricked her ears.

   "They said..." The maid's voice was almost inaudible, "Those servants seem to have died as the first lady was buried."

  Buried? !

   Xiaolan expressed her shock with her eyes.

  "Why do you say that?" Xiaolan asked, "Did someone find any clues?"

"First of all, although Miss Yrel told us that most of the previous servants left the manor to find another place, in fact, no one has seen those servants again." When it comes to rumors, the maid's order is also smooth. I got up, "Also, after Mr. Morwen returned to the manor, he didn't seem to show his nostalgia for his wife, but soon married the second lady..."

   Seeing the maid’s eyes seeking approval, Xiaolan immediately said, “It makes sense.”

The maid smiled, and then said, "The second lady has accompanied Mr. Morwen for nearly two years. The husband loved her very much, but in the summer four years ago, Mr. Morwen went out for a month. The second wife was after the husband left. On the weekend of Zhou, Madam was found hanging in her bedroom."

   "Why did she commit suicide?" Xiaolan frowned.

  The maid shook her head, "Madam did not leave a will, so we are not sure, and I am not the person who takes care of the lady personally, but I heard them say that the lady seems to be sick."

"sick?"

  It will be cured if you are sick.

   "Madam's spirit, I'm sick," the maid pointed to her head, "They said that in the days since Mr. Morwen left, Madam said that she could see... strange things every day."

  Mentally ill?

   "In the end, she didn't wait until her husband came back, she was in the bedroom..."

   "Why didn't you call in a doctor?"

   "Because Madam insists that she is not sick," the maid said, "Madam insisted that what she saw was true."

   Xiaolan couldn't help but think of what happened to her.

"Then?"

  "After the death of the second lady, Mr. Morwen was sad for a while, and it took a long time before he started looking for a third wife..."

  It's all like this, but you have to find a wife. This Mr. Mo Wen is really irritating.

  "The third lady only lived in the castle for a short time. After that, when Mr. Morwen was on a trip, the lady disappeared unexpectedly."

   "Does anyone know what's going on?" Xiaolan asked.

The maid opened her eyes wide and shook her head, "No one saw the whereabouts of the lady. Moreover, at that time, it happened to be the time to prepare Miss Lily's birthday party. The husband also returned home and invited relatives and friends to the banquet. At that time, the entire castle Everyone was busy. The day before Madam disappeared, she was still preparing desserts for Miss Lily’s mother’s birthday, but the next day..."

   "Have you looked everywhere?"

   "Of course, the manor has been searching for three days, but in the end there is no way. We confirm that the wife is no longer in the castle."

   Xiaolan remembered the corpse on the stone bed she had seen in her dream, "The basement, have you also looked for it?"

"The basement?" The maid looked suspicious. "The basement...we usually don't open it. Of course, the lady won't be in such a place, and there is only one key to the basement, which is at Miss Yrel's. If you take it away, Miss Yrel will tell us."

   Xiaolan changed the question, "The third lady, what does it look like?"

   The maid raised her eyes and recalled, “The third lady is very beautiful. She has long blonde hair like a waterfall. The biggest feature of the lady is that the lady’s pupils are golden red.”

  Every word hits Xiaolan's memories.

  That's right.

  In the dream, the corpse on the stone bed was the third lady.

  Although I only saw the terrified appearance of the third lady before her death, the golden red eyes were so special, so special that Xiaolan even thought it was an optical illusion that she had produced under the reflection of blood and flames.

   Xiaolan sighed lightly.

   "What's wrong with you?"

   "It's okay," Xiaolan replied, "What's next?"

  "After the gentleman returned to the manor, he also looked for his wife nearby for a long time, about half a year, he also gave up, and brought the fourth lady home...the fourth lady..."

   At this point, the maid's nose suddenly turned red.

  "Are you okay?" Xiaolan asked hurriedly.

"No, no, it's nothing, let you watch a joke," the maid hurriedly lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, "It's just...the fourth lady, we all like her, but the way she left is really too miserable. Just think of it..."

   "She must be a kind person, right?" Xiao Lan said softly.

   "Madam is brave, kind, friendly, and also very funny, very considerate to our maid," the maid sniffed, "just like you."

   Xiaolan smiled, "I heard that she died in the fire."

The maid narrowed her eyes and said, "Madam, she died in this basement. As of today, we don’t know why the lady took Miss Yrel’s key and came here, but from the scene where the lady died, it should be Madam entered the basement by mistake. The candle in her hand lit the firewood placed around the basement, and it turned out to be like this in the end."

   Xiaolan asked tentatively, "At that time... did you only see a corpse in the basement?"

   "Of course..." The maid blinked her red eyes, "If you mean the completeness of the body, when we found out, the lady had become a piece of coke."

   Xiaolan propped up her chin and thought.

  Where did the body of the third lady go?

   Shouldn’t they be burned to ashes together?

"It is precisely because of something wrong with Mrs. Since then, the basement no longer stacks firewood. Mr. Morwen seems to be worried for a while, but the castle always needs a mistress. It took about a year for Mr. Morwen to find him. His fifth wife, this time, Mr. Morwen only took a carriage to a nearby town to attend a banquet. It was only two or three days, but in these short days, tragedy still happened. It was a cloudy day. Early in the morning, the lady took the two children to play by the stream. After a while, the children came back crying..."

  The maid sighed, "Madam slipped and fell into the water and drowned."
