Anchor, your box lunch is here

Chapter 19 Riddle Manor

When Chao An returned to the castle, she heard scolding voices coming from the living room. The maid Bellamy stood beside the broken vase with her head bowed, her eyes were red, and she was holding a few red roses in her hand. looking at the angry old woman Elsa.

"How could there be water on the floor, that's how you clean the castle? I almost slipped."

"I'm sorry Mrs. Ersa, it was my negligence."

"You're so clumsy, I don't know why Master Angelet left you."

Bellamy buried her head lower, and whispered, "I'm really sorry, I'll just go clean up."

"What's going on?" Chao An asked after seeing the scene in front of her as she walked into the living room from outside the door while being carried by Arthur.

"Oh, Master Angelet, what's the matter with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Ersa put away the anger on her face and hurriedly greeted her.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." With a proper smile on Chao'an's face, he asked Arthur to put himself on the sofa, and then continued, "But please tell me what happened before, if Bellamy does What was wrong, I can apologize to you on her behalf."

"Master Angelet, you are too polite. It's not a big deal. A puddle of water appeared on the floor, which made me almost slip and break the vase. You know that at my age, I'm always very afraid of these things. .”

Hearing this, Chao An turned to Bellamy and asked with a serious expression, "Why is there water on the floor?"

"Master Angelet, I don't know, I wiped the floor specially this morning." Bellamy looked aggrieved.

"It must be the water in the vase. You spilled it when you arranged the flowers in the morning." Elsa said.

"Mrs. Ersa, there is no water in the vase."

"I can testify to this." Chao An said, when he went downstairs in the morning, he saw Bellamy inserting roses in the vase after wiping it. There was indeed no water in the vase.

"Where did the water come from?"

Bellamy shook her head, she was also surprised by this, she was the only maid in the castle, she would not spill water into the living room.

Zhao An carefully observed the puddle of water on the ground, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it looked like a certain shape. By the way, it was a human footprint...

"Okay, don't worry about this, let Chester check with Angelet first." Kathy's voice interrupted everyone's thoughts, and then she turned to Ersa and asked, "Ersa, Chez What about Te?"

"Upstairs, I'll go and tell him to come down."

"Forget it, let me go, I'll go faster."

The judge strode upstairs, and in a moment old Chester came down.

Chester came to Chaoan, asked Chaoan some questions, and checked Chaoan's bones to make sure that there was nothing wrong. In fact, these actions were redundant. Before returning, Arthur had checked him. I repeated it, but Kathy thought that Chester, who had been an apprentice physician, was more convincing.

After tossing around for a while, the whole morning passed, Chao An and the others sat in the living room for a while, and then it was lunch time, and everyone still ate together.

Compared with breakfast, lunch is richer. There are sausages and roasted venison. The soup is fresh fish soup with a glass of red wine, but these things do not belong to Chaoan. In addition to vegetables, fruits and thick soup, there is only a small piece of water in front of Chaoan. Boiled venison, oh, and a small cake more than usual.

Let alone the cake, the boiled venison is too much. It can be seen that the chef has tried his best to make this piece of boiled venison delicious, but he has no competition in front of the roasted venison brushed with honey and the meat is shiny.

Chao'an feels bitter, but Chao'an... wants to say it!

"Arthur, can you cut me a piece of roast venison? I also want a glass of red wine." Chao An looked at Arthur who was serving him, and said expectantly.

If it wasn't for having a neighbor who can cook, the live broadcast world is the only place where Chaoan can eat food. It has always been his wish to eat more delicious food before receiving box lunch, especially when the world is as good as this However, Arthur's response shattered Chao'an's illusion.

"Master, you can't eat these pickled foods, let alone drink alcohol, your stomach will not be able to digest them."

"Just a little?"

"Sorry, master, this is non-negotiable. If you think the food is not enough, I can ask Bellamy to prepare another corn soup." The expression on Arthur's face was firm, like an emotionless food-serving machine.

"..."

Well, what Arthur said was right, Chao An could only keep smiling and finished the food on his plate.

"Sandwich Jelly" hahaha, the anchor is smiling on the surface, but on the inside.

"If you are a pig, you have to look like a pig." Don't be cowardly, the anchor, show your young master's momentum, rush forward, and overwhelm him!

"The old man is from afar" Don't worry, if you really rush up, you may not be able to tell who is suppressing whom, or the screen will be black...

"Why can't it be curly hair?" Arthur just did what a manservant should do. I believe he and the host are innocent, and the host will always belong to Si Mu!

"Little cutie in Class Two, Three Years" Curly, you should be sober, Si Mu has been dead for three days!

……

After lunch, the sun was getting hotter and hotter. Everyone was about to go back to their room for a nap, when Chaoan suddenly called the baron.

"Wait a moment, Baron Villiers."

The baron turned around, looked at Chao'an in surprise, and asked, "What can Master Angelet want from me?"

Chaoan smiled and said, "Although there was an accident in the morning, Mr. Baron's riding skills are still admirable. Now it's time for me to fulfill my promise. As the winner, you can choose any one from my father's collection." , of course, if others are interested in visiting my father's collection, I would be more than happy."

Hearing this, the businessman Chester's eyes flashed quickly, and then he said with a surprised expression, "Of course, I am honored. I have heard that the Earl of Sheffield has a large collection, and today I finally have the opportunity to see it."

Others also expressed that they wanted to go to the old earl's collection room. No one wanted to miss such an opportunity, and the nap plan had to be temporarily postponed.

Zhao'an took the key and walked through the corridor to the basement. Arthur led the way with a candlestick, and lit the candlestick on the wall every time he passed a certain distance.The basement is rarely opened, and the Earl of Sheffield does not allow servants to enter his collection room, even Chaoan only once.

Go down the stairs, turn back twice and enter a corridor that is exactly the same as the upstairs, but the light is more dim, and the wallpaper with weird patterns seems to come alive under the candlelight, and everyone can't help but walk lightly , for fear of disturbing something.

At the end of the corridor was a tall, pitch-black wooden door. Chao An took out a copper key, inserted it into the lock, and turned it twice. After a dull clicking sound, the wooden door was pushed open by Chao An.

Arthur walked into the collection room after Zhaoan agreed, lit the candlestick on the wall inside the door, and the flickering fire illuminated a small space of the collection room. Kathy couldn't wait to enter the collection room, and when she looked up, she saw a woman in the dark His pale face floated in the air, his eyes were closed tightly, as if he was dead.

"what!"

Kathy screamed, and took a quick step back, the heel stepped on the baron's toes, the baron's expression twisted for a moment, and immediately yelled at Kathy, "What are you yelling at?"

"Ghost, there is a ghost! The rumors are true!"

Everyone else was taken aback. The judge took a few steps forward with a candlestick, illuminating a larger area. The collection room was calm and there was not even a mouse. The judge smiled and turned to Kathy. Speaking of "What's the ghost, Miss Kathy, are you wrong?"

"Really, there is a woman's face floating in the air, exactly like the ghost described in "The Book of Salvation." Kathy stroked her chest, silently reciting the prayers in the church, hoping to gain protection through this.

"Miss Kathy is talking about this painting, right?" The judge moved the candle to the wall, and there was a huge painting on the wall facing the door, which was a portrait of a noble lady. The lady closed her eyes.

Kathy looked at the painting carefully for a moment, and was relieved to be sure that what she saw was the person in the painting. "What, it turned out to be a painting. It really scared me just now."

After finding out that it was just a false alarm, everyone was relieved. Chao An asked Arthur to light up the lights in the room, and the entire collection room lit up immediately.

The collection room is very large, and there are various display shelves on the four walls, on which there are collections such as swords, porcelain, and gemstones, and there are many famous paintings on the walls. Even if I heard that Sheffield has a rich collection, It was really shocking to see people.

This is the benefit of power. At the beginning, the Earl of Sheffield was just a down-and-out baron who didn't even have a fief. Because he was favored by the Queen, now he not only has such a big manor, but also has so much wealth. The baron's heart is hot, secretly Tighten his fingers, as long as he can know the secret, maybe he can use it to seek the title.

Chester also looked excited. He knew the prudence of that old man in Sheffield. Since so much wealth can be piled up here, the token is likely to be here as well. As long as he finds it, he will gain an unimaginable huge fortune. With profits, you can even buy a title and become a nobleman.

As for Kathy, she was dazzled by countless precious jewels. She touched a string of gemstone necklaces with her fingers. Look, what an intoxicating luster, if I wear it around my neck to attend a banquet, it will definitely make me the leader of the entire banquet hall focus.

As soon as she thought of that scene, Kathy blushed with excitement, but she soon came to her senses again, damn it, why wasn't she the one who inherited the Riddle Manor!Even if it wasn't for this gemstone necklace, taking out any one of the things here could solve her urgent needs.

Chao Jian was appreciating the paintings on the wall, but he was observing the reactions of several people from the corner of the eye. He found that the baron, the judge, and the businessman couple seemed to be browsing the collection, but their eyes were wandering around, as if they were looking for something. On the other hand, he stared at those precious jewels with a greedy look on his face.

Sure enough, the purpose of these people staying in the manor is not pure. Thinking about it from another angle, how can the natives who can participate in the live broadcast be simple characters?
