The white gauze skirt was stained red by the blood from her chest. The girl ended her short life of seventeen years with resentment, unwillingness, and regret.

"Perhaps you don't know yet, but it was me who chose Her Royal Highness the Princess and abandoned you. It was also me who captured you and killed the people closest to you."

"There's nothing I can do about it. You were born in a manor, and this is your fate."

"I grew up with the little princess. She is like my own daughter to me. I gave her life. I even love her more than the Earl."

The flames gradually burned out, and were soon made even brighter by the cold wind.

In front of the tomb, the housekeeper slowly spoke out these words that had been buried deep in his heart for many years, pouring out the pain that no one had told, and not caring that no one answered.

Even at this moment, there was no regret on his face.

"Mao Ma? What's wrong with you?" Shao Yan called Si Mo twice. He had been standing there motionless since he discovered this place a few minutes ago. He didn't react when he was touched. Si Mo's eyes were looking straight ahead, as if he was daydreaming.

He pressed the red rabbit's head into the card slot. It sat quietly above the coffin, its empty eyes seeming to be staring at the two of them.

Shao Yan suddenly pulled Si Mo's arm, and the young man pulled himself away from the illusion as if waking up from a dream.

Shao Yan asked: "What did you see?"

After coming to his senses, Si Mo took another deep look at the red rabbit and told Shao Yan what he had just seen.

Although the other person in the manor never shows up in the picture, he is often overlooked and is the key to breaking the deadlock.

If my guess is correct, Shao Yan's identity as the male owner is because the earl was killed by the revenge of his own daughter's evil spirit, and his only son and heir to the manor succeeded to the throne.

That is Shao Yan.

Both of them are his biological sisters.

"How much do you know about their affairs?" Si Mo took down the rabbit doll, having a premonition that something big would happen during tomorrow's sacrifice.

Everyone in the manor died, except for the biggest culprit who participated in the whole process - the butler, who was safe and sound. He might have some outstanding qualities, but the girl had a close eye on him.

Shao Yan paused for two seconds, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"As the only son of the earl, he was sent to a special advanced school to learn how to inherit the title after only a few days here. He even learned that he had a sister from his classmates."

"Until you reach adulthood, you have no right to come back."

"..."

鞳鞳 —

At the same time, just as the two finished talking, they heard a short rhythmic sound coming from outside the door, which was the crisp thumping sound of the soles of shoes hitting the ground.

Then, the small gap in the wooden door that let in light was opened from the outside, and the dim light of the wall lamp gradually squeezed into the room. A small piece of dust was raised above the air, which was not like the Tyndall effect under the daytime sunlight, but was diffused with a scattered stale smell.

The shadow fell on the floor, and one could see a person standing in the door frame with his back to the light, looking inside.

He couldn't see anything because of the white gauze blocking his view, but the man was not going to give up. He roughly cleared a passage for people and walked slowly inside.

Si Mo made his breathing as light as possible. At this moment, he was face to face with Shao Yan in a small corner, carefully observing the identity of this man.

Due to the small space, Shao Yan had to support himself against the cabinet wall on his side. He leaned his back against the inside of the cabinet and put one hand around Si Mo's lower back. Si Mo lay motionless on him. From this angle, he looked like a well-behaved kitten acting coquettishly and lovingly to his owner.

"Is anyone there?" "Si Mo? Is that you?"

Si Mo was slightly startled, because from the familiar voice, he seemed to know who was coming.

Hu Zhi covered his mouth and nose, unable to open his eyes because of the stench here. He walked inside, calling Si Mo's name uncertainly.

A teasing sound was heard from a place, and Si Mo came out. When Hu Zhi saw that it was him, his heart instantly relaxed a lot.

But there was another person following behind Si Mo. He looked closely, trying his best to identify the other person.

Immediately, Hu Zhi really found such a person in his memory - he was the person who teamed up with Si Mo during the day, and they seemed to be in the same room.

So the two of them should be traveling together and coming here to look for clues.

"Why are you here?" After coming out, Si Mo asked softly, "Did anyone notice you on the road?"

Hu Zhi immediately shook his head and said, "No, I just heard some voices upstairs when I was awake, so I thought of checking it out."

"And this room is right above my room, and there are sounds of footsteps on the ceiling."

Hu Zhi glanced at Shao Yan behind him and asked, "What are you guys looking for?"

Shao Yan was holding the rabbit doll in his hand, but he seemed a little reluctant, as if it was forced into his hand by someone.

Si Mo moved his mouth and was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by the man behind him.

"No." After Shao Yan denied it, he took a step forward and took Si Mo's hand very intimately. When the other party was confused, he slowly said, "Let's have an affair. It's quiet and exciting here."

Hu Zhi: “…”

Si Mo: “…”

When Si Mo looked over, Shao Yan raised his eyebrows proudly, then turned to Hu Zhi and smiled politely: "Take your time to look at it, we will go back first--"

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt his arm tighten, and his meridians and joints began to ache.

Si Mo remained calm, but secretly exerted force, squeezing the back of his hand until it turned a deathly white, which showed how much strength he used.

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Si Mo smiled, but there was a creepy intention of a knife-wielding man in his eyes.

Before dragging Shao Yan away, he turned his head and kindly reminded Hu Zhi: "There's nothing special here, and if you stay here for too long, it might be dangerous."

"It's almost dawn. I think the butler is going to make a move soon."

"So I suggest that you go back quickly, lock the door, and don't let him know that you came out last night."

After listening to this, Hu Zhi felt that what Si Mo said made sense. Since he said it was nothing, then it must be nothing. At least the only person he could trust here was Si Mo.

"Okay, then you guys too..." He glanced at the two of them awkwardly, thinking for a few seconds before speaking awkwardly: "Go back early."

I didn't realize that these two are a couple?!

That’s fine, but they actually came to someone else’s morgue to seek excitement, what kind of fetish is this???

But Hu Zhi couldn’t say anything, he really didn’t dare to say anything…

After Si Mo nodded, Hu Zhi left alone. He first looked outside the door and made sure that no one was safe before he lowered his footsteps and went downstairs.
