Chapter 349 The Witch in the Dark Night 7
Caroline pulled her to an empty corner, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was indeed no one around.
"Kayleen! You are such a nuisance, you need to go home with Renee right now! Leave the party right now!"
Lu Xichen really wanted to go home. She didn't want to come to this dance, but she was curious about Caroline's attitude.
"Sister Caroline, what's wrong with Sister Lacey?"
"It's none of your business, go back!"
Caroline pushed Lu Xichen and asked her to leave the dance.
"Sister Caroline!"
Lu Xichen pretended to want to stay, but was strongly opposed by Caroline, who pushed her directly towards Renee.
"Leni! Take her away!"
"Yes."
Renee didn't show any displeasure at all and directly dragged Lu Xishen away.
After stuffing Lu Xichen into the carriage, Renee immediately took her away from the ball in a hurry.
Sitting in the carriage, Lu Xichen had many questions in his mind.
Caroline and Renee both looked anxious for her to leave, as if something was beyond their control.
And Lacie's reactions before and after were completely different.
That prince was also very strange.
Lu Xishen approached the edge of the carriage and asked Leni outside the curtain, "Why are you in such a hurry for me to go back? I want to stay and see the prince. The prince invited me just now."
Lu Xichen spoke deliberately in an unreasonable manner. She wanted to see what attitude Leni had towards this matter.
"Ms. Cailin, the prince invited Miss Caitlin. He just recognized the wrong person. He didn't invite you."
Leni's voice was cold, as if she wanted Lu Xichen to give up the idea immediately.
Her attitude made Lu Xishen even more curious.
"I heard it right, he invited me! The prince was talking about Kailin! Renee, you are so good to me, don't you want to save me from suffering?"
"Bitter Sea? Miss Kailin feels that Miss Caroline and Miss Laceel treat you badly, and that the Earl's Manor is not good. Is that right?"
There was a hint of displeasure in Renee's tone.
Lu Xishen did not continue the topic. She changed the subject and asked, "When will the Countess be back?"
"Why did Miss Kailin suddenly ask this?"
Lu Xishen replied: "I haven't seen Madam for a long time, I miss you a little."
"Miss Kailin just now thought that the Earl's Manor was a sea of suffering and there was no one you liked in the Earl's Manor. Now you say you miss your wife. Isn't that a bit wrong?"
Lu Xichen said nothing more and just closed his eyes and rested quietly in the carriage.
Caroline, Lacelle, and Renee, their attitudes toward her were always changing.
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but Lu Xichen felt that the three of them were protecting her intentionally or unintentionally.
This is unlikely.
The favorability levels of Laceel and Caroline are both less than 10, so how could they possibly protect her? It’s good enough that they don’t hate her.
Back at the Earl's Manor, Renee roughly pulled Lu Xishen and threw her at the bedroom door.
"Ms. Kailin, please go in and rest. It's getting late."
"Oh." Lu Xi responded dully and pushed the door into the bedroom.
Lying on the door and listening to Renee's footsteps as she left, Lu Xishen quietly opened the door when the sound disappeared.
The dim light in the corridor lengthened the shadows, and Lu Xichen tiptoed to the study.
If you want to quickly understand this era, the best way is to read books.
There was no explicit ban on her entering the study, she chose to come out in the middle of the night just because she didn't want to be discovered by others.
Lu Xichen spent the whole night in the study reading and finally got a clear understanding of this era.
At present, the king here is just a puppet, and the real person in power is the prince.
The prince loved to hold various banquets and invite nobles to enjoy the luxury together.
The lives of ordinary people were completely different from those of the upper class. They could not get enough food and many people starved to death.
The sanitation on the streets was also very poor, it was completely medieval style.
Just as Lu Xichen thought, high heels were made for the nobility to prevent them from stepping on excrement.
The beautiful tutu is also for defecation anywhere.
In addition to the basic information about the kingdom, Lu Xishen also learned about witches and resurrection day.
Witches in this era represented evil and would be executed if discovered.
But in fact, witches are all people who love cleanliness. Witch is just a pseudonym, regardless of gender.
They wanted to execute witches simply because they were different from the dirty and messy people like them, and they couldn't stand seeing others being clean.
Resurrection Day is used to execute witches. It is a day set by the church.
Every Thursday is Easter.
Witches caught before Thursday would be thrown into prison and executed on Thursday.
The church is also a very magical organization. They believe in blood and think that blood is the master of everything.
The church has a great influence on an entire kingdom.
So for sick people, their family members would usually send them to the church for bloodletting.
The church believed that these people became sick because their blood was mixed with unclean blood, and that they would recover as long as this blood was drained.
Those with strong vitality may be able to survive, but most people will die on the "operating table".
The church announced that the blood of these people was too dirty, so the gods took them away to another world for purification.
Lu Xishen couldn't understand why these people would believe such a ridiculous reason.
How could they watch their loved ones being bled to death?
The original Karin's mother was killed in this way, and then she welcomed her stepmother.
Lu Xichen closed the notebook in his hand, feeling mixed emotions.
"Den-"
Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and Lu Xishen immediately put the record book back to its original position.
"crunch-"
The person outside pushed open the door of the study, turned on the light and looked around the room, but found no one in the room and left.
Lu Xichen used the black fog to block herself. After the man left, she breathed a sigh of relief and removed the black fog.
The person who just came in was actually Renee.
Renee's purpose was obvious, which was to find her.
Leni had just stopped in front of her, but she couldn't see Lu Xishen behind the black fog, so although she was very confused, she could only return empty-handed.
Lu Xichen checked the books on the bookshelf again and found that they were all in their original places. Then she tiptoed back to her bedroom.
To get back to the bedroom, she had to turn the corner of the corridor. As soon as she turned around, she saw Renee waiting at her door. She immediately retracted her foot and hid against the wall.
All the characters in this copy could not see the strangeness around her, so Lu Xishen asked Bailing to go over and see what was going on with Leni.
Leni stood in front of Lu Xichen's bedroom door with a serious face. After hesitating for a while, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Ms. Kailin, are you sleeping? I have something to ask you. Can you open the door?"
Lu Xishen was not in the room, so he couldn't answer.
She wasn't afraid of Renee pushing the door open.
After observation, she had discovered that without her permission, Renee would not open her bedroom door.
