Acai's Sky

Chapter 267 Wuwei Marquis Mansion

The evening breeze caresses gently and the warm sun sets.

The roof of the front hall of the Lin family's Wuwei Marquis Mansion.

Ah Cai was held by Ah Er and sat on the roof, watching the excitement from a hidden place under the shade of trees.

The guests of Lin Hou Mansion were sent away one after another, and only a few close relatives stayed to watch the fun.

In the front hall, there stood a middle-aged man with a strange expression and a half-smile. This man was none other than the famous "Wuwei Monkey" Lin Chuan.

He stood firmly in place, his hawk-like eyes fixed on the servant kneeling in the hall in front of him.

"Are you still unwilling to speak out?"

Lin Chuan's voice was low and majestic, as if it could penetrate people's souls.

The servant was already frightened out of his wits, his body shaking violently and uncontrollably, his terrified eyes subconsciously looking towards the marquis' wife, hoping to get her protection.

After all, the reason why he did that immoral thing was entirely because he obeyed the orders of the Marquis's wife!

However, at this moment, the marquis's wife closed her eyes, sat calmly on the chair, and ignored the servant's look for help.

At this moment, Lord Lin walked up to the servant, and his tall body just blocked the servant's view of the marquis' wife.

"Since you are so stubborn, then you must know what is written on this piece of paper?"

As he spoke, Lord Lin slowly pulled out a piece of paper with a bright red bloody handprint from his sleeve.

When the servant caught a glimpse of the paper, he began to twitch violently and shiver all over as if struck by lightning.

Then he began to utter a series of indistinct sobs and kowtowed hard, begging for mercy and forgiveness.

Meanwhile, Ah Cai, hidden on the rooftop, gently poked Ah Er beside her with her finger and said in a low voice, "Look, that's the servant's confession? I didn't expect you to be so kind as to give it to Lin Monkey."

Ah Er curled his lips in disapproval and replied, "We're just here to watch the fun. With so many eyes gathered here, if we don't have solid evidence, Lord Lin alone won't be able to shake the powerful influence of the Marquis's family."

Taking advantage of her small size, Ah Cai quickly pulled out a colorful lollipop with an alluring aroma from her bosom and put it in her mouth.

The candy in her mouth made her voice a little unclear, but she still lowered her voice and muttered softly, "Look at this Wuwei Marquis Lin Chuan. He doesn't seem as stupid and ignorant as I imagined! But why is his house so messy?"

Ah Er, standing by, nodded repeatedly in agreement, a puzzled look on his face as he said, "Yes, I find it very strange, too. This Lord Lin seems strange no matter how you look at him. Five years have passed, and is he truly oblivious to the daily crowds of onlookers?"

Ah Cai glanced sharply at the guards standing guard not far away, and thought to herself: Why do I always feel like they are not the only ones watching the fun?

At this moment, in the spacious and bright hall, the servant slowly raised his head and was about to report something. However, at this moment——

"Pfft~"

"thump!"

With a dull thud, the servant who had not yet finished speaking fell heavily to the ground without any warning. His originally pale face turned black and purple in an instant, and then he spat out a pool of ink-black blood. In the blink of an eye, he died.

Lord Lin, who was standing aside, just glanced at the corpse on the ground, and then ordered the housekeeper beside him to quickly call someone to move the corpse away and dispose of it.

After just a few breaths, the bloodstained ground had been cleaned up, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusory dream.

Ah Cai was amazed when she saw this scene and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, it turns out this kind of magical timed poison already existed in ancient times! It's amazing!"

Hearing this, Ah Er was completely bewildered and asked, "Timer? Poison? What the hell is this?"

Ah Cai said excitedly, "Actually, this poison pill is just coated with a substance that won't dissolve in the stomach in a short period of time.

Only after a certain amount of time has passed will the outer layer gradually dissolve, and then the poison will begin to take effect."

As she spoke, she revealed an expression of immense curiosity, and continued, "Oh my! I wonder what kind of materials the ancient people used to make the outer coating of this poison! How wonderful it would be if I could see it with my own eyes and study it!"

At this time, Ah Er, who had been holding the little guy in his arms, casually said, "Why think so much? Why not just find all the tools and ingredients for making the poison and try making it ourselves?"

However, Acai was obviously unwilling to pay any attention to A'er's simple and crude idea.

She just glanced at Er indifferently, muttering to herself that this guy was really an idiot.

At the same time, in the spacious and bright hall, Lord Lin did not seem to be at all surprised or surprised by the sudden death of the servant from poisoning.

He slowly turned around, faced the Yue family, and said in a very humble and polite manner: "I'm really sorry that you all laughed at what happened today!" His words were full of sincerity.

The brother-in-law Gu Xian, who was sitting next to him, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing an expression that seemed to be a smile.

He slowly stood up and replied stiffly, "It's okay, it's okay. Since there's nothing important here, we'll take our leave first. If you run into any trouble in the future and need help, just let me know..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Xian gently waved his sleeves, then turned around and left with his relatives.

Throughout the whole process, Lord Lin always maintained that gentle and kind smile, quietly watching Yue's brother-in-law and his group walk farther and farther away until they disappeared.

At this moment, he slowly turned around, staring at the Marquis's wife who was sitting there, nodded slightly and said, "Madam, you should rest early. You must be quite tired after so many things to do today!"

After saying that, Lin Chuan turned around and left with the butler, walking further and further away in the direction of the study.

Ah Cai was completely confused and couldn't help muttering to herself, "That's it?"

Ah Er, who was squatting beside her, was also bewildered, muttering, "Can't you say a few more words? How can anyone understand the deeper meaning of this? Everything can only be guessed..."

Ah Cai scratched her head and muttered to herself, "These ancient people are really strange. Why couldn't they be more polite? This style of behavior is really puzzling!"

She pondered in her heart, still having no idea what was happening before her eyes, as if she was in a fog.

"I can't see through it, I can't guess..."
