Bai Youwei lifted her head, looking at the two by the railing.

The Gardener was comforting Cheng Xi meticulously.

Severely frightened, Cheng Xi needed such care. She was sobbing non-stop in his embrace, making them appear more intimate.

Bai Youwei shifted her eyes away, refusing to watch the man and woman, and looked down at her own hands instead.

There was a button in her palm.

The one she just ripped from the Gardener’s shirt.

The Gardener, due to his constant coming and going between the floors, lost the gentle carefulness he had at the beginning and was rushing up and down incessantly, totally oblivious to Bai Youwei’s action.

She stared at it for a moment, put the button away, and wheeled herself towards the dining room.

At this moment, a quarrel broke out upstairs!

“Cheng Xi! Are you a dog that cannot change its habit of eating poop?! It’s only been a few minutes since I last saw you, and now you’re in a man’s arms?!” Hu Ya’s voice was loud and piercing, filled with nameless fury.

Cheng Xi, already frightened like a quail, was now being reprimanded by Hu Ya. Her face turned pale white, tears streaming down her face, unable to utter a word.

Yu Yaqing also found Cheng Xi’s behavior inappropriate. At such a critical moment, she was still flirting with the NPC, it was simply absurd.

However, Hu Ya’s words were way too harsh.

She frowned and said: “What on earth are you arguing with her about at this time?”

Hu Ya yanked Cheng Xi from the Gardener’s embrace and dumped her onto the ground with utter disgust! Cheng Xi staggered and fell, her teary eyes looked pitiful and ever so fragile.

Seeing her in this vulnerable state, Hu Ya’s anger surged, and she raised her hand, ready to slap her!

“Hu Ya!” Unable to bear it, Yu Yaqing blocked Hu Ya, “What are you going crazy for?!”

“I need to teach her a lesson!” Hu Ya fumed, glaring daggers at Cheng Xi, “I need to cure her disease of not being able to leave men alone for three minutes!”

Yu Yaqing scolded her coldly: “Enough! What she does has nothing to do with you! Handle your own business properly! Did you find the key you’re supposed to look for? Did you?!”

Hu Ya bit her lip, replying: “No!”

Yu Yaqing furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Su Man and Zhu Shu: “What about you two? Did you find the key?”

“No.” Su Man shook her head, saying exasperatedly, “There are too many rooms, we don’t even know where to start looking.”

Yu Yaqing frowned deeply but said nothing.

She thought about what the Gardener said about the True Key…

Now, Hu Ya, Zhu Shu, Su Man… all claimed not to have found the key, implying that out of the six of them, only she had found a key, and it was the True Key.

They didn’t find a single fake key, is that even possible?

Did they hide the information? Just like the Gardener said, were they… all wanting to be the “last bride”, in order to receive a high reward? Even at the expense of betraying their comrades?

…Comrades?

No, they weren’t comrades in the first place.

Some of them even had old scores to settle.

Yu Yaqing pursed her lips, the scale in her heart tipping from side to side, wavering non-stop.

The real key was in her hand.

But should she, tell them?

…

Meanwhile, Hu Ya was experiencing a different kind of chaos internally–

I trusted her so much! She actually scolded me in public for that wretched Cheng Xi?!!!

What does she take me for?!! A servant girl she could order around and scold at will?! Since she looks down on me! Why should I listen to her?!! Why?!!

I will not hand over the key, I will not tell anyone!

I must survive till Sunday and become the last bride!

Bai Youwei gave these women, each with a different expression, a glance, withdrew her gaze, and wheeled herself directly towards the dining room.

There was still a little while till dinner time, and the Inspector was preparing the meal.

But the so-called dinner was nothing more than some raw, bloody meat that was absolutely unappetizing.

Bai Youwei sat down in silence, studying the Inspector.

He glanced over at her, smiling slightly, “Do you have any questions?”

Resting her cheek on her hand, Bai Youwei slowly said: “I met a gardener in the mansion today. His demeanor and aura reminded me of you.”

After a pause, she added: “But not as ugly as you.”
