Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 442: Madam 3's Suspicion

Its evil aura is hidden under the cover of its protective scales. If it were more low-key and cautious, it would be difficult for people to discover it in a short period of time.

However, since the mages who had collected the Evil-Protecting Scale before knew of its characteristics, and now servants of the Guo family have been dying inexplicably one after another, it cannot hide for long.

I'm afraid that the mages have already taken measures, but on the surface everything looks calm, as if nothing has been discovered.

Moreover, the person it possessed was the maid of the third room. Coming to her place so late at night would definitely attract the attention of those who were secretly following it, and thus discover its abnormality.

But tomorrow is her wedding day. After tonight, it will have no chance to see her again, so it can only take the risk to come here.

It pulled a cloth bag from its sleeve pocket and handed it to her, saying, "This is part of the money that the first and third houses have moved away."

Si He reached out to take the cloth bag and took a look at the contents. There was a bunch of keys and two house deeds.

It continued, "The silver has been exchanged for banknotes and stored in a secret room in this house. The secret room is behind the kitchen cabinet. This was the private residence that the previous steward had set up outside, and no one knows about it."

"Part?" Si He raised his eyebrows slightly.

It looked at her scrutinizing gaze and suddenly became a little reserved. It said, "We have too little time, and those damned mages are watching us too closely. Besides, the Guo family has been on high alert and taking strict precautions. It's difficult for me to take action."

"Okay." Si He put away the cloth bag, then took out the last piece of evil-protecting scale and gave it to it.

She had given one piece before, and agreed to give another piece after the matter was done. After all, this thing would be worn out after being used for a long time, not to mention that the Guo family was full of exorcism items.

Although it has only done half of the job, it doesn't hurt to give it to it first in this situation.

It reached out to take the scale, with a hint of joy in its eyes. With this thing, it could move freely in and out of the Guo family, without being suppressed or harmed by those evil-repelling objects, and it also concealed its weird aura.

The scales gave it an inexplicable sense of security. After carefully putting them away, it said, "After you get married, I will gradually transfer the remaining money of the Guo family to the dark room of this house."

Si He looked at it, her lips curled slightly, not minding its little thoughts, but she still reminded it, "Okay, but remember, no matter what danger you encounter, even if your soul is scattered, don't mention me. Otherwise, you will experience a punishment that is more terrifying and torturous than the death of your soul."

She spoke calmly and her eyes were not harsh, but her words were full of threats.

Its eyes suddenly became a little panicked. Although it had never seen her methods, after getting to know her over the past few days, it knew that she was not exaggerating.

"Yes."

Si He retracted her gaze, turned around and walked back to the dressing table, saying, "Be careful when you go out, don't let anyone stare at you."

"Yes." It responded again, took a deep look at her back, and then quietly retreated.

Gao You and Gao Zi, who were outside the house, watched the strange maid leave, and couldn't help but feel curious. Was she here to deliver a message? Otherwise, what was she talking about in there?

The other people in the courtyard also made such a guess, but none of them expected that Miss Nine had bribed the maids from other rooms.

Among them, someone saw this situation and found an excuse to leave the hospital and tip off the police.

This night was not peaceful either. Two maids died mysteriously one after another. One of the maids was possessed by a remnant soul.

However, the news was kept secret and did not spread. However, Gao You paid close attention to the movements outside. After learning the news, he reported it to Si He.

Si He was not surprised by this.

The next day, early in the morning, the third wife of the third room came over and asked Si He directly, "Jia Qu, I heard that a maid from my room came to see you last night?"

At this time, Si He had just taken a bath and was being busy being helped by a group of maids and servants to dress and comb her hair.

She was dressed in a luxurious red wedding gown, and her appearance was elegant and graceful.

She sat in front of the dressing table, not getting up or turning around. Instead, she looked at Mrs. Guo San through the reflection in the bronze mirror in front of her and said, "Aunt San, a maid did come over last night, but she wanted to ask me to bring her over. She wanted to follow me to the Yue family and serve me, but I refused."

As she spoke, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she added, "Third Aunt is really well-informed. She found out so quickly."

Mrs. Guo San stood beside her, also looking into the bronze mirror, her eyes revealing a hint of hardness that could not be concealed, and said: "But the person is dead!"

Si He showed a hint of surprise and asked, "Did Third Aunt punish her?"

Mrs. Guo San couldn't help but yelled angrily, "You're talking nonsense! After she came to see you, she suddenly went crazy and fought with another maid until she died!"

I don’t know what happened to Mrs. Guo San last night. She was so angry early in the morning that she couldn’t help but curse.

Si He's eyes grew colder. "So, is Third Aunt here to call me to task? I'm curious. What kind of injustice did the maid from the Third House suffer that she would actually come to me for help? Besides, the person didn't die here. Even if Third Aunt wants to call me to task, she can't hold me responsible, right?"

Mrs. Guo San stared at her, took a deep breath, and said, "Are you really not involved in this?"

Si He sneered, "Aunt, do you think I sent this maidservant, whom I just met, to a fight and kill herself? If you don't have evidence, don't make such statements. Besides, I have no grudge against this maidservant, and I can't tell her what to do."

Mrs. Guo San looked at Si He's cold and arrogant face, and her chest heaved with anger, although she knew in her heart that it was not her fault.

However, that damned maid was so bold and presumptuous that she colluded with the steward and stole all her family fortune!

How can I not be angry?

Last night there was just a death, and she just felt it was a little weird at the time, but in the second half of the night, she received another piece of news that made her furious.

The steward of the third house is dead!

Before, many matters of the third house were handled by this steward in collaboration with other servants, but after the steward died, they suddenly realized that something was wrong and immediately went to investigate.

But this investigation immediately made the entire third room boil with excitement. He had actually secretly transferred the money stored in the bank of the third room in the past few days, and now its whereabouts are unknown!

The steward had been in frequent contact with the dead maid recently, so the people in the third house suspected that the maid was colluding with the steward and might have been discovered, and the truth was revealed, so she died last night.

And the maid happened to have been to Xiangxueyuan last night. She couldn't help but wonder if Guo Jiaqu was behind this!

So he came over early in the morning to question me!

The two men looked at each other, and the air seemed to be filled with a strong anger. The atmosphere was a little tense, which made the servants serving on the side feel restrained.
