This was a room filled with luxurious clothes.
Except for the wall with the door, the other three walls were all filled with wardrobes!
In the center of the room, there were more than ten lifelike models dressed in gorgeous fashion, their high wigs, puffed sleeves, and vast dragging skirts, as if hosting a court feast from the Elizabethan Era.
Zhu Shu opened the door of the wardrobe, guided Bai Youwei into it, then shut the door, and quickly hid herself under the model’s dress.
The court dresses of this ti were very extravagant, within which was a waist pad made from velvet, the larger the pad, the richer it signified the wearer was. Underneath it, there was a still larger skirt pad, and only outside that was the actual dress.
Just a short mont after Zhu Shu was hidden, vibrating footsteps sounded from downstairs.
The Duke was back.
His footsteps were both hurried and heavy, filled with anger, almost like he had rushed straight to the third floor once he was recovered! Then started looking for them one by one!
Just like Bai Youwei had suspected, he skipped the first two rooms and started his search from the third one.
The rooms at the end of the corridor were more likely to beco the subjects of his suspicion.
Bai Youwei stayed quietly in the wardrobe, but her heart was far from settled, as if she were on a roasting fire.
She relaxed montarily when the Duke walked further away but was worried again for Su Man and Yu Yaqing getting found, three of her worries due to their comradeship, and seven attributed to the ga’s competitiveness!
She couldn’t figure out, where did she go wrong!
According to her past gaming experience, killing the Duke would certainly have allowed them to pass the level, and since the Duke was invincible at night, then the dayti gardener was their opportunity!
But why did it not work?
The gardener did not die!
Not only did he not die, he transford into the Duke, causing the night to prematurely fall! Now, they were all his prey!
Regret or remorse are insufficient to describe her current feelings, there was more, a deep skepticism and confusion.
The Duke’s teeth-gritting calls echoed throughout the corridor.
“My lovely brides, where are you… don’t you know that refusing to dine with shall enrage !”
“Co out… my brides, I can already sll you, like wild cats in a garbage dump, both fishy and unpleasant! Disgusting!”
“Where are you?! Co out!!!”
“Liars! Liars!!! Greedy, foolish won! I will tear you apart!!!”
Roaring and pounding footsteps filled the manor, the floor trembling slightly with the master’s fury.
The Duke, having found nothing on the third floor, furiously went down to the second floor, and after another futile effort, went down to the first!
As he went further away, the forceful sound of his voice also dwindled and softened.
Zhu Shu slightly let her guard down.
She huddled under the model’s dress, her feet both sore and numb, yet dared not to move.
Just when she was considering whether to stretch her legs, the footsteps suddenly got closer!
After searching the lower floor, it seed the Duke suspected they had not left the third floor and ca back again!
The nerves she had just let go of promptly tightened again! Zhu Shu held her breath.
Thud, bang.
The sound of sothing falling to the floor.
Zhu Shu’s heart almost leaped out of her throat!
Why on earth would sothing fall all of a sudden?! Could it be that sothing happened on Bai Youwei’s end? Damn, this noise would definitely alert the Duke!
As expected, the footsteps quickened its pace!
Zhu Shu was filled with anxiety but had no solutions. She slightly raised the flower lace of the dress at the bottom –
There was no unusual movent near the wardrobe, instead, a piece of cloth swiftly retracted from the doorway.
Zhu Shu froze.
She recognized that piece of cloth.
It was Hu Ya…
A chill arose in Zhu Shu’s heart; she hadn’t expected that in the unclear situation like this, Hu Ya wanted to harm them.
