Chapter 27 What a Poor Little One

After Yun Jiao finished eating, Jiang Xinglan left as if he had something to do. Before leaving, he did not forget to take the dishes away. Then he scared Yun Jiao that there was a monster in the manor and she would be eaten if she opened the door to anyone other than him.

Seeing Yun Jiao's fearful expression as he wished and agreeing to open the door only for him, Jiang Xinglan walked out with satisfaction.

As soon as the door was closed, Yun Jiao rubbed the little face that was pretending to be miserable. The face felt soft and had a good touch. She pinched the soft flesh several times. It seemed that the system wanted to rub the host.

After pinching her, Yun Jiao touched her hand again. It was also too delicate and exaggeratedly soft.

Let Yun Jiao ask questions.

"What's going on with this system? Is this body still mine?"

When she came here, the system told her that because the original owner's character data was lost, she was using her own body data.

But this, why doesn't it seem to be hers anymore?
[It's still the host's body, just slightly adjusted some data according to the character setting. This character was spoiled by his family since he was a child because of illness, so of course his body is delicate and precious. The host just needs to adapt to it. ]

Yun Jiao put aside this discomfort for the moment and asked about the copy.

"So why did I enter the romance dungeon? Not to mention that I am wearing a game fanfiction, even if the game wants to bring people in, it shouldn't bring me in as a supporting role, right?"

The system was also confused. [I don't know the reason, but I have reported this to the main system. Before that, the host should look for the fiancé. If he is found, the host can get out of here.]

Yun Jiao felt depressed, especially since she couldn't see clearly. The dark environment made her feel uneasy, not to mention that there were ghosts in this manor.

"Is it true that we can't get out until we find someone?"

The system, feeling that it was indeed useless, cried, "I tried, but it didn't work. I'm sorry, host."

Yun Jiao sighed. Since she couldn't go out, she could only find a way to find her fiancé.

She received the copy background sent by the system. The background introduction was not very detailed. It only explained that this manor was the Duke's former residence. Later, the Duke got tired of the arrogant and possessive Duchess, so he had a lover outside and didn't like to come back.

The Duchess waited day after day for the Duke to come, but the Duke did not come. So she strictly required her son to study hard to please the Duke and bring him back. Sometimes she even got angry and beat and tortured her son.

Once the Duchess went to see her lover and came back with a child. Everyone in the manor suspected that the child was the Duke's illegitimate child.

However, the Duchess jumped off the terrace of the manor not long after, and the Duke never came back. No one could be sure whether the child was the Duke's illegitimate child.

The story begins from then on. As the two children grow up, strange things happen in the manor from time to time.

There is often a smell of blood here. Rumor has it that the Duchess was filled with resentment when she died, and became a ghost, coming back for revenge.

It is not known whether this rumor is true or not, but there are many people outside who covet the treasure of the manor. Seeing that the Duke has never returned and has not taken care of his son, those greedy people come to the manor in groups to get the treasure.

Even though no one who came in left alive, there were still many people coming here.

Yun Jiao read the entire background and found that there were three main characters in it, one was the Duke's legitimate son, the second young master who was suspected to be an illegitimate child, and a butler who was responsible for managing the affairs of the manor.

In addition, there are chefs, gardeners, servants and others working in the manor.

Judging from her background as a pampered young lady, the fiancé her family arranged for her would not be the chef or the gardener. Instead, the two young masters of the manor and the butler are possible candidates.

After all, the butler was also born into a noble family. Although I don't know why he came to the manor to be a butler, he could indeed be the marriage partner. While sorting out the information, Yun Jiao remembered something.

"By the way, you said before that my fiancé and I communicated through letters. In my situation, how did we communicate?"

System: [The other party wrote the letter, you asked the servant to read it, and then asked the servant to reply on your behalf. ]

This sounded even more wrong. "Didn't my fiancé leave his name? And he didn't know I couldn't see the letter?"

If he knew that she couldn't see it, but still wrote to her, this fiancé is really bad.

System: [He didn’t leave a name, otherwise it wouldn’t be so hard to find. As for whether he knows you can’t see it, there’s no explanation.]

The information obtained was not much, but there were not many people who needed to be eliminated, which gave Yun Jiao a little more confidence.

Since she couldn't see anything, Yun Jiao simply let the system read the letter written by her fiancé.

The fiancé in the letter was different from what she imagined. Instead, he was extremely gentle and considerate. When he learned what she liked to eat, he would send someone to deliver it to her. He would write several letters to express his concern for her health and comfort her.

In short, the fiancé in the letter is a gentle gentleman who expresses his concern just right and shows his love for his fiancée.

After listening to the letter, Yun Jiao came to a conclusion, "The guy who entered the girl's room with a knife is definitely not her fiancé."

There are just too many people in the manor, and Yun Jiao doesn’t know what Jiang Xinglan’s identity is, so it’s hard to rule it out.

After chatting with the system for a while, Yun Jiao decided not to stay trapped in the room. She should first get familiar with the manor and at least get to know a few more people.

But although it was a good idea, it was still difficult to operate. Just for the sake of opening the door, Yun Jiao fumbled and was bumped several times.

Her skin is not only delicate but also very sensitive. The pain from the collision was magnified several times, and her eyes turned red physiologically and showed signs of tears.

Yun Jiao covered her hurt hand and wanted to walk back, but it was still pitch black in front of her. She was not familiar with the room and expected to be bumped a few more times on her way back.

The system felt sorry for Yun Jiao, and spoke quickly after hearing the noise outside.

[Host, don't move. Someone is coming. Just stand where you are and let that person take you back.]

As soon as the system finished speaking, the door handle of the room was turned, and then the door was opened. The other party seemed to pause at the door for a while, and then the sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor tiles was heard.

"Who are you? Can you help me?" Yun Jiao asked when she didn't hear anyone talking.

From He Yuzhang's point of view, the slender and weak girl was standing there, looking at the door helplessly, her eyes were sparkling with watery light and the corners of her eyes were hazy with crimson. Under the exquisite lace classical nightgown, her legs, which were as white as snow, were covered with blue and purple marks.

Looking at the crooked objects in the room, you can imagine what a miserable scene it would be if the other person bumped into them.

He Yuzhang had a smile on his face as his eyes swept over Yun Jiao's intertwined legs and the tender white toes that seemed to feel the coolness of the floor tiles and were slightly curled up.

Tsk, what a poor little thing.

He walked over and leaned close to the person. He smelled a sweet fragrance on the other person that was incompatible with the fishy smell that always lingered in the manor. The man's eyes darkened for a moment.
