The maid was trembling after being pulled over, looking around with blank eyes. She looked so distraught after learning that she had disappeared with the pharmacist who was attending the ball.
Although she was not smart enough to understand what was going on and that she was involved in the battle between the two parties, she still felt the danger.
As a maid who has served in the city lord's mansion for several years, she is no longer a silly girl just starting out, and is very aware of her status. Although life is better than life at home, the dangers have increased a lot.
The tempers of noble people are often not very good, and it is common for them to want to beat people. Some people may be beaten or killed when serving noble people. In addition to the problem of corporal punishment, there are too many temptations, so that those who come from
For this reason, ordinary girls forgot their original intentions and finally stepped into the abyss.
This maid has also had unrealistic fantasies, even though she is a person who is relatively able to restrain herself. She has repeatedly reminded herself in her heart that Jinyi is poisonous, but as a young and beautiful girl, she likes Jinyi from the bottom of her heart, and that desire has been suppressed again and again.
But it pops up from time to time.
She still has a little bit of vanity. In order to support her family, she went to work as a maid in the City Lord's Mansion. She was extremely excited when she was left behind because for a commoner woman, the City Lord's Mansion was too solemn and gorgeous. This was what she dreamed of.
A place to live.
At first, she felt like she was floating. After entering the city lord's mansion, she realized that there are so many delicious things in the world, as well as gorgeous clothes and jewelry, which she would never have in her lifetime.
As a maid in the city lord's palace, I envied those aristocratic women. Their clothes were much better than mine. She had also imagined that she would have such good luck. She even wanted to become one of them, or be able to replace her, because
I feel I am qualified.
The girls who can be selected as the maids of the city lord are all good-looking. The city lord's palace needs their decoration. Beauty is a girl's greatest asset. Who would want to become a servant for the rest of their lives.
It’s just that the maids soon realized that they were wrong. The city lord himself didn’t eat much food. After all, he never lacked beauties around him, so naturally he wouldn’t be embarrassed to eat porridge and side dishes.
Just because the city lord can't get her, it doesn't mean that the maids in the city lord's palace have no hope of flying onto the branches and becoming phoenixes. There is never a shortage of opportunities in the city lord's palace. There will be many nobles coming and going, so naturally there is no shortage of handsome and handsome men.
You must know that nobles are well-fed, well-clothed, and have the opportunity to receive education when they grow up. Naturally, they look better than ordinary civilian men, and some girls will fall in love with those good-looking skins.
Even if aristocratic men are fat and big-eared, or they are very young, there will still be people who want to make their lives better and try to hook up with them, thinking that if they give their virginity to them, they will treat them well.
However, girls' ideas are too simple. As a person who is originally uninhibited in the relationship between the sexes, will he care about the so-called chastity? Most of them look at those women who throw themselves into his arms with indifferent interest.
Some people think that why they don’t eat for free? Anyway, it’s not their own initiative. This kind of people are more or less particular, and at least they don’t end up seducing others. In the relationship between the sexes, they don’t take the initiative, they don’t refuse, and they are irresponsible.
More men are accustomed to romance. They hook up wherever they go. After tasting the sweetness, they don’t think about being responsible. They are just having fun from beginning to end. There are too many differences between him and her.
It's impossible to get to the end.
The deceived woman cried after they left, because she didn't get everything she really wanted. At most, she got some financial compensation. It would be even worse if the woman accidentally got pregnant. I don't know if she should stay.
.
What if she chooses to give birth to that child? She is a weak woman who has no husband and is pregnant. She is afraid that her job will not be guaranteed. How can she raise the child well? There are too many difficulties.
Therefore, if you really keep the unborn child, whether you give it away to be raised by outsiders, keep it to raise by yourself, or want to use it as a bargaining chip, no matter which situation it is, it will bring immense trouble to the woman.
If that child is the man's only heir, the situation of the biological mother will be even worse. The man will not want his heir to know that there is such a biological mother. In the eyes of the nobles, people who want to follow the dragon and the phoenix often do not end well.
Especially those who are likely to be greedy.
The maid was also severely slapped in the face by reality and felt terrible. Good food and drink are not so easy to get. They often have to sell their virginity to get it, and they may even be beaten.
She witnessed with her own eyes a so-called senior who was so beautiful. After hooking up with a noble, his life became much easier, but he disappeared one day. And she once heard the senior's cry for help, and she shivered in the room.
I dared to show my head, and I never saw that person again.
This discovery made her extremely frightened, but she did not dare to tell others for fear that others would know that she was eavesdropping. She became much silent. She thought clearly that she no longer wanted to rush to serve the noble master, and only thought about how she could survive.
, just old enough to leave the city lord’s mansion.
This time she was assigned to serve Ling Xiao, and she was very careful in doing things. She didn't want to take advantage of others, but she was also unwilling to stand out. Fortunately, Ling Xiao was very easy to serve, and she could get tips, so she felt very happy.
It wasn't until she was knocked unconscious and woke up again that she realized something was wrong. Everyone was asking where the female pharmacist had gone. She was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
But she quickly came to her senses, what? The female pharmacist disappeared when she fainted. After hearing the news, she wanted to faint again, so that she wouldn't have to face the questioning people.
As a relatively sober person, she once tried hard to stay away from all right and wrong, but now she finds that everything is impossible, just like now she is keenly aware of the approaching danger.
Many eyes were focused on her, some with a bit of intimidation, as if to warn her not to talk nonsense. If anyone could, they should hope that she was mute and would not speak out.
She recognized the dress at a glance. She first brought the evening dress to Ling Xiao and helped Ling Xiao put it on. Although the evening dress was not very luxurious, as a maid, she was quite envious of it.
Because as a maid, she was not qualified to wear such fine clothes. This was the first time she had the opportunity to observe an evening dress worn by an aristocratic woman up close, and she naturally remembered it very clearly.
Looking at the people staring at her, the maid felt a little at a loss and felt something was wrong. Although she didn't know what was going on, it didn't stop her from feeling that something was wrong. This was an intuition.
Hey! What should she do? During this period of time, she has been watched by people from the association and has no chance to contact the city lord's palace. And after she knew what happened, she knew that she might be finished. What a coincidence.
Coincidentally involved in the disappearance of a female pharmacist?
It can be foreseen that her future is not good. Even if she follows the wishes of the city lord, she will be the unlucky person in the end. She is afraid of the people in the city lord's palace and is afraid that she will be stabbed to death. But even so, she will not
Dare to confront the city lord.
When she took a second look at the bloody corpse and smelled the bloody smell, her first feeling was that she felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to pass out, but she knew she must not pass out at this time.
She stared at it with wide eyes. It was a familiar dress. It was originally worn by a female pharmacist, so the female pharmacist was really dead! The maid's pupils shrank, what should I do?
At this moment, she decided one thing in her mind: the deceased could not be anyone else but a female pharmacist. Her first thought was to see the city lord, so she quickly raised her head and quickly lowered her eyelids.
The look of anger on his face is such a terrible feeling!
Under the public gaze, she felt the eyes of many people with many opinions. They were all waiting for the maid's confession. And she thought about it for a moment. As a weak woman who would live in Windhearth City in the future, she naturally had to help the city lord.
, just when the word was not swirling around her tongue, she heard a cold snort, and a flat voice came, "Tell the truth!"
This was the voice of a puppet. It was obvious that the voice was ordinary, but after hearing it, the maid couldn't help but turn her gaze to the puppet and looked at the non-human eyes. Then she shuddered and stumbled to speak out her testimony: Yes
Female pharmacist.
After hearing the maid's identification, the city lord glared at the maid. It's really disgusting! These are people from the city lord's palace. They are all white-eyed wolves. They are standing on the side of the association. Why didn't they say that this was not the body of the pharmacist?
Naturally, he was not willing to admit this statement, and felt that he had to insist on it. He must not admit that the female pharmacist died here. They were a bunch of trash, just take the people away, why did they leave the body in the dungeon? This is not him.
Looking for death?
The city lord felt very bad when he thought that the people of the association valued the pharmacist master under him. What should he do? How did things come to this point? Naturally, he was unwilling to admit that he had any problems. What was his fault?
If Ling Xiao had surrendered early and sent people away long ago, he would not have reached this point. The city lord complained very much to Ling Xiao and followed him honestly, so he would not have died. Isn't it good to live?
The city lord hates the bastard who kidnaps and kills people the most at the moment. Which bastard did it? The city lord hates people who do this from the bottom of his heart, because he feels that Kun is planning to settle the score and doesn't want to let him go.
Therefore, he tried hard to support his poor body and insisted that there was something wrong with that face. He couldn't recognize who it was! He thought it was probably his maid, not the female pharmacist.
The nobles onlookers knew something was wrong when they saw this, and the association had the upper hand. They also thought that the deceased was the person who disappeared just now, and who was she instead? No one else has disappeared so far.
However, as a member of the nobles of Windhearth City, they were absolutely unwilling to stand on the side of the association. For the future of Windhearth City, they had to support the city lord, pinching their noses and planning to deny the identity of the deceased.
Therefore, they compounded the words of the city lord, saying that the face of the deceased had become swollen and it was completely unrecognizable. The person in the association could be said to be a female pharmacist, but it could also be said to be another woman.
For a time, there was a major disagreement between the association and the nobles. The two sides were arguing publicly and the mother-in-law was right, but no one was willing to give in. The two sides were in a stalemate, and no one wanted to take a step back.
At this moment, the puppet following Kun snorted again, stepped forward, squatted down, and took off a beautiful silver bracelet from the deceased's wrist in full view of everyone.
This silver bracelet was stuck in the sleeve just now, and the others didn't notice it at all. They didn't realize until the puppet took it off that the other person was still wearing the bracelet.
It was raised high, and the nobles couldn't help but turn their eyes to the bracelet, only to discover that the inconspicuous-looking bracelet was inlaid with an extremely clear purple crystal, which was the bracelet that Ling Xiao had worn before.
Kun also saw this bracelet and recognized it at a glance that Ling Xiao had worn it before. The reason why he remembered it was that it came from amethyst. Amethysts in this era were rare. Those who could get such a good amethyst were wealthy people.
He took the bracelet and said coldly: "You still said no! Look! It's this bracelet! I remember clearly seeing her wearing the bracelet when she received the master.
I like purple gemstones very much, and I specifically asked who made this bracelet. I planned to get one for my daughter in the future, but I didn’t expect that the thing is still there, but the person is dead.”
At this point, Kun's voice suddenly became choked and his eyes turned red. He looked at the corpse with pain in his eyes, and then looked at the city lord with anger in his eyes.
"Yes, I've seen it too." The two pharmacists said in unison. They had just cried a lot and their voices became hoarse. They looked at the city lord with angry eyes. If there weren't many people around the city lord, they would have wanted to rush in.
Go up and beat someone.
If they had participated in this pharmacist trial with the idea of being martyrs before, then now they knew the real danger. Seeing one of their own dead helplessly, the anger made them unbearable.
What should we do? The nobles don't know what to do. Because the appearance of this bracelet makes the city lord's words untrustworthy, I can't help but blame the city lord. Why did he offend the association so much?
The city lord really wanted not to admit this fact, but at this moment he was a bit out of his depth. He couldn't help but want to see what was going on with the blond beauty, Tracy. Just now, no one from the association came to see him, and they still don't come to him now.
Know who did it.
Then Kun continued: "Maybe the city lord still doesn't want to admit that this is the master of the association." The city lord nodded at this moment, there was no way he would admit that he was related to him.
Kun raised the corner of his mouth and said lightly with a bit of ridicule: "But the association not only found the deceased, but also found the six pharmacists who were missing before. No! One of the six pharmacists has died. City Lord, this
Two pharmacists died because of you in a while."
These few words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking the city lord to the point where he felt dizzy. His chest was feeling tight and he once again felt his heart beating violently.
He didn't care about rescuing himself at the moment. He was looking at Kun across from him in astonishment. He looked at the other person with disgust in his eyes. What he originally wanted to deny suddenly changed, "How do you know?"
