Cezanne extended his hand and helped Yulan into the carriage, with great courtesy. After Yulan sat firmly, he waved the reins, and the two black horses snorted and walked slowly on the road.

Yu Lan glanced out the window. She didn't know what was going on in the west of the city. The road was foggy after she had only taken a few steps.

At this time, Cezanne's gentle voice sounded: "Miss, it's foggy outside, please don't expose your body parts to the fog."

Upon hearing this, Yu Lan gave up the idea of ​​checking and turned to ask the system.

【From what you just said, you and Cézanne know each other? 】

The system didn't expect Yu Lan to notice this, and said without hiding it: [Yes. ]

[Hmm...] Yu Lan tapped her knees lightly with her fingers. She just heard Mei Qimeng tell her through the mirror that there was danger in the mist and asked her to be careful.

I had more doubts in my mind.

[How did you meet? ]

The system paused and said, [You don’t need to know about this.]

Yu Lan laughed and said bluntly: [I think you know that people are very curious.]

[I think Miss Yu has also heard the saying that curiosity kills the cat.]

The system replied indifferently that he was not afraid that Yu Lan would know about his relationship with Cézanne, but he could not say it due to his current status.

[Forget it, I'll know it eventually anyway.] Yu Lan snorted and stopped talking.

The carriage drove steadily on the road and stopped after a while.

Cezanne opened the car door and said, "Miss, we are here."

"Thank you." Yu Lan thanked him and said, "Just call me Yu Lan."

Cezanne nodded slightly: "Yes, Miss Yu."

Yu Lan couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be so respectful, it makes me feel uncomfortable."

Cézanne also smiled; his face was mostly hidden by his cloak and hood, with only his chin visible.

Just by looking at the lower half of his face, Yu Lan knew that this was a handsome guy.

Yu Lan's gaze stayed on Cézanne's face for a while, then she turned away and looked at the house in front of her.

Well...calling it a house is underestimating it.

This is a fucking big manor!

Can she really afford to live there?

Cezanne noticed the discomfort on Yu Lan's face. He pushed open the iron door covered with vines and introduced: "It seems that the man didn't finish what he said to you - Miss Yu, don't worry, you just rented one of the rooms here, don't worry about the rent."

Passing through the front garden, Cézanne did not take Yu Lan to the main house, but took her to the villa next to it.

"The middle one is where the owner of the manor lives, and this side is where the guests rest. Miss Yu, your residence is here."

Yu Lan nodded in understanding, feeling a little emotional.

These evil rich people!

Although this is a villa, it is much bigger than the house she lived in in her previous life.

Cezanne took Yu Lan up to the second floor and said, "These rooms are uninhabited. You can choose any one."

Yu Lan casually pushed open the door closest to her and fell silent when she saw the whole room.

So fucking luxurious and so fucking big.

"Are all the other rooms like this?"

Cezanne smiled apologetically: "Not entirely, because of the division of the room, the light in this room is not very good - if possible, why not let me choose for you?"

Yu Lan was too lazy to choose and simply nodded: "Thank you for your help."

Cezanne nodded in understanding and took Yu Lan to the corridor on the other side of the second floor and to the room at the end of the corridor.

When she opened the door, she saw a room with a balcony. The room was very tidy, and there were no fancy decorations like other rooms. Yu Lan was very satisfied with it.

Saishang saw Yulan's satisfied expression, put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "It's an honor to choose a satisfactory room for you."

Yu Lan was somewhat helpless, and pretended to be angry and said, "Didn't I tell you not to be so respectful to me?"

"You are a guest," said Cézanne.

He walked into the room and briefly introduced the layout of the room to Yu Lan.

"The bathroom is on the left. Just put your clothes in the basket over here and someone will wash them for you."

Yu Lan looked up with some confusion and asked, "Is there anyone else here?"

"Yes," Cézanne replied, "Besides me, there are several other people in the manor, and we manage the manor together for the owner."

Master? Oh, there's a chance. Yu Lan's eyes widened slightly out of curiosity: "Excuse me, who is your master?"

Cézanne was silent for a rare moment and did not answer the question: "You will know later."

"Okay." Seeing that Cézanne was unlikely to answer, Yu Lan could only put away her curiosity and look towards the balcony outside.

The heavy curtains on both sides of the balcony were drawn, and Cezanne explained: "Ms. Yu, although this room has a balcony, do not open the balcony door when it is foggy or dark."

"Will a ghost come in?"

"Yes."

Cézanne was not surprised that Yu Lan saw through his non-human nature. Instead, he felt relieved, as this saved him the effort of covering up.

There was still fog outside, but only outside the manor. The entire manor seemed to be surrounded by some kind of barrier, and the fog outside could not get in at all.

"Okay, I understand." Yu Lan nodded obediently. Seeing that Yu Lan had no other questions, Cezanne continued with his work.

He pushed open the balcony door and motioned Yu Lan to come over and take a look: "From this balcony, you can enjoy the garden in the courtyard. I think you will like it."

Yu Lan walked out to take a look out of curiosity, and then her eyes widened in surprise.

As Cézanne said, her balcony could see the garden downstairs. There was a small pavilion in the middle of the garden, and some unknown flowers were planted on both sides of the pavilion. The flowers on the right were of different colors, but they were all very plain; while the flowers near the other building were very bright in color, as if they were irrigated with blood.

What surprised Yu Lan was not the beautiful garden scenery, but the resentment that filled the garden. It was so deep that it seemed as if one would be cursed as long as one took a step into the garden. She didn't know how many corpses were buried under the garden.

Cezanne noticed Yu Lan's expression and smiled meaningfully: "Ms. Yu, do you like this garden?"

Yu Lan nodded blankly: "I like it, it's very beautiful, and you can tell that the person who takes care of the garden is very serious and has taken good care of it. Mr. Cezanne, I have a question."

Cezanne tilted his head and said, "Please go ahead."

He didn't take it to heart when he heard from Erwin that this human girl could see through their identities, but he didn't expect that she could even sense their resentment... If she dared to mess around in the manor, he couldn't blame him for not giving Erwin face.

Yu Lan looked a little unhappy. Cezanne thought she was frightened by the garden and was about to comfort her when he heard her say.

"You're not going to drag me to make fertilizer in the middle of the night, are you?"

Cezanne was stunned. He didn't expect Yu Lan to ask this.

He didn't answer. Yu Lan continued to talk to herself, "I heard from someone I know that plants will grow well if corpses are used as fertilizer. I didn't expect it to be true. By the way, won't the colors of the flowers on these two sides blend? If the pollen spreads, the colors will blend, right?"

"Hehehehe..." Cezanne suddenly laughed softly. Yu Lan looked at him in confusion, feeling a little puzzled.

[What happened to Cézanne? Is what I said so funny? ]

The system said helplessly: [I guess I was speechless because of you, so I laughed out of anger. ]

[Ah?] Yu Lan touched the corners of her eyes innocently, and couldn't help but think of another thing.

She needs to get some glasses.

Seeing that Cezanne was still laughing, Yu Lan was speechless: "Mr. Cezanne, please don't laugh like a villain."

But he is not a good person, Cezanne thought. But having said that, he still stopped and spoke to Yu Lan in a less unfamiliar tone.

"Don't worry, you are our guest, we won't use you as fertilizer. As for whether the colors will blend, you have to ask our gardener, who has been taking care of the plants in the manor. But I have been here for so many years, and I have never seen any color blending."

Cézanne answered Yu Lan's question, then leaned forward slightly, moving closer to Yu Lan.
