At this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the wedding room.
Then there was the sound of Liu Ruyue crying and banging the door hard:
"Master! Come and take a look! The eldest lady seems to have been poisoned!"
As soon as Shen Gu heard "poisoning", his heart tightened.
He immediately thought of the bowl of "big tonic soup" that Su Ziqing had given him before.
But Su Ziqing only drank one tablespoon of that bowl of soup, and he drank much more than Su Ziqing.
But he doesn't feel any physical strangeness in the game now. Normally, Su Ziqing shouldn't have been poisoned by that bowl of soup.
"Then there is another reason!"
Shen Gu, who knew this was a game, was not too flustered by Su Ziqing's comfort.
However, in the plot of the game script, in order to show his professionalism, he immediately ran from Lin Xixi to Liu Ruyue with a very panicked expression, and followed her to where Su Ziqing was.
However, when he and the others followed Liu Ruyue to the room where Su Ziqing lived, there was no one in the room!
"Where's Madam?"
Shen Gu immediately frowned and asked Liu Ruyue, who was very flustered.
Liu Ruyue quickly checked every corner in the room where someone might be hiding.
But Su Ziqing was still not found.
It’s just that you can’t see people alive, and you can’t see “corpse” after death.
With a look of disbelief on her face, she pointed to the bed in the bedroom and said to Shen Gu in a panic:
"Madam, she was lying here just now due to poisoning. I saw that she was very uncomfortable, so I immediately went to report to you, sir!"
"Is this a suspense drama?"
Shen Gu, who was thinking this way, had not yet thought about what to do, when a "teleprompter" suddenly appeared in front of his eyes for the first time.
The virtual blue display shows:
Key lines that drive the plot, please click this to tell others...
"It's so late, what will happen to her, and what else can I think about the wedding?"
"Everyone go to the housekeeper to get a lantern, and we will search the house in groups of three!"
After reading such lines, Shen Gu, who had watched movies with similar plots before, immediately thought that if he said this, the people who were scattered next would probably be defeated by the "murderer" one by one.
However, he entered this game script this time to make money, and such a dangerous plot prospect did not make him overly worried.
He only hesitated for a moment and said the key lines that the "teleprompter" reminded him to say to other closed beta players and game NPCs.
Such a big thing happened in the mansion, and Liu Ruyue had already made a big fuss when she went to tell Shen Gu. The housekeeper of the mansion had already arrived here with several servants.
This game has NPCs that are not beta players. In order to allow beta players to know their identities as quickly as possible, every beta player can see their identities and names above the heads of these NPCs in the game.
So after Shen Gu pressed the lines on the "teleprompter" and said those words, the other closed beta players quickly figured out who the housekeeper in this house was.
Not only that, as the male host of the house in the game, Shen Gu also obtained an additional piece of basic information about the butler from the game system:
Name: Han Jin
Sex: Male
Age: 45 years old
Identity: Supervisor of Shen Mansion
Reason for entering the mansion: After Shen Gu received this mansion as a reward from the emperor, due to the short stay, the butler and servants were simply recruited through "Yaxing" for the time being.
Grain glutinous rice
After reading this information, Shen Gu felt that this butler would definitely play a big role in tonight's "event" for the closed beta players.
Especially when he entered the government, it was still through recruitment. The hero was not brought in from his hometown. It was possible that someone with ulterior motives had planned to sneak in in advance!
As for the potential suspect of "people with ulterior motives", Shen Gu felt that it might be the current prime minister or a tutor who was hostile to the prime minister.
However, based on the information currently available, Shen Gu can only remain suspicious and wary of the butler named Han Jin. He cannot directly remind other beta players to be more careful with Han Jin for no reason.
At this time, the NPCs in the game, except for Butler Han, all the other servants had been ordered by Butler Han to fetch a few more portable lanterns.
Due to the emergency, Butler Han gave the two portable lanterns originally held by the servant to the second lady Wu Jiayi and the third lady Lin Xixi respectively.
He stood next to Shen Gu with the portable lantern in his hand!
In this case, there are three people around Shen Gu plus Liu Ruyue, and the other two "masses" plus their dowry maids are also three people.
"Without further delay, let's go find it now."
"Whoever among the three groups and other servants who join the search later finds the First Lady, shout loudly immediately!"
Having made such an arrangement, Shen Gu took the portable lantern from the butler's hand and went out first to pick a direction to look for Su Ziqing.
Even if he had a premonition that after being grouped like this, other terrible things would definitely happen in the house.
"Master! Today is my first day in the house. It's dark all around at night. It's so scary. I want to go with you!"
As soon as Shen Gu stepped out of the room with his right foot, the "Second Madam" played by Wu Jiayi quickly followed, pulling him from behind while talking.
Before Shen Gu could express his attitude, "Third Madam" Lin Xixi immediately followed him from the other side, took Shen Gu's other arm and also pleaded:
"Master, I'm scared too, and I want to be with you too!"
At this moment, the key lines appeared again on the "teleprompter" in front of Shen Gu:
"no!"
Although there are only two words, it has clearly expressed to Shen Gu that this is the "plot direction" that he must adhere to.
"Forget it, take it easy."
"What's more, the money I got from Dongfang Cloud was 100 million after tax!"
Shen Gu, who thought this way, broke away from the two ladies in the game script and said with anger on his face:
"How does this work?"
"I want to divide into three groups in order to find the eldest lady as soon as possible."
"You all have to search with me, which makes it slow to find her. Who will be responsible if the eldest lady dies?"
After saying that, he took Liu Ruyue and the housekeeper and strode out!
Wu Jiayi immediately jumped behind her and shouted dissatisfied:
"But I'm completely unfamiliar with the layout of this mansion!"
At this moment, the housekeeper Han Jin, who had been following Shen Gu, immediately turned around and advised:
"Second Madam, you can wait here for the servants who went to get the lanterns to come back, and let them take you to find them."
"The same goes for you, Third Madam!"
However, Lin Xixi immediately rejected such an idea:
"Humph, I don't want it!"
"Tong'er, Ning'er, let's go look in the other direction now!"
"If we find Su Ziqing first tonight and save her life, I will definitely stay in my room with gratitude!"
