Chapter 352 The Witch in the Dark Night 10
The stepmother seemed to see through Lu Xichen's intention. She grabbed her arm before she could escape and pulled her away from the earl's side very forcefully.
"You damned girl, you only know how to cause trouble for the Earl here, I will teach you a lesson!"
Since he was planning to leave the back garden anyway, the result would be the same, so Lu Xichen did not resist his stepmother's actions.
When her stepmother took Lu Xichen out of the back garden, Lu Xichen was about to shake off her stepmother's hand, but her stepmother let her go first.
"Kaylene, didn't I tell you that you can't go to the back garden? Why can't you remember?"
Renee has not been found yet, and even if he escapes, there is no guarantee that he will be able to find her, so Lu Xichen does not intend to confront his stepmother head-on.
"I'm sorry ma'am, I didn't remember it. It won't happen again next time."
Lu Xishen lowered her head, her tone sounded sincere, but her eyes were cold. If her stepmother was aggressive, she might have used violence to communicate.
"It better be this way!"
The stepmother left after leaving this message.
Lu Xichen listened to her stepmother's footsteps and slowly raised her head, only to find that her stepmother's figure had completely disappeared from her sight.
Lu Xichen was very puzzled. Didn’t her stepmother just say that she would punish her? Why did she just leave?
She was still thinking about how to avoid punishment from her stepmother.
That's weird.
Lu Xishen continued to explore the manor with doubts, and came to the swimming pool and met Leni.
Renee was with Laceaine, who was running motionless in the pool, and it was unclear what she was doing.
Lu Xishen walked over curiously, and when Laixier heard someone coming, she immediately shouted excitedly.
“Ah!! Get out of here! Get out of here!”
Leni also noticed Lu Xichen coming, and quickly jumped into the swimming pool and hugged Laciel, trying to calm her down in this way.
"Ms. Lacee, calm down. Miss Karen is here." Renee whispered in Lacee's ear.
When she heard the word "Karen", Lacie swallowed and instantly recovered.
She turned her head and looked at Lu Xishen unhappily.
"What are you doing here!"
"Sister Laixier, what happened to you just now?" Lu Xishen avoided Laixier's question.
Laceel did not answer her question and repeated her words.
Lu Xichen pursed his lips and was silent for a moment before answering, "Sister Laixier, can't I come to the swimming pool?"
"You..." Lacie was speechless.
In the entire Earl's manor, only the back garden is forbidden for Lu Xishen to enter, and she can walk freely in other places.
Just now, Lacier had forgotten about this matter and just asked the question subconsciously.
When Lu Xichen found that Laixier was silent, he knew that he could come here.
Seeing that Laixier was a little embarrassed, Lu Xichen very considerately changed the subject.
"Sister Lacey, the sun is a little too strong right now. I'll get you a towel. Please come up first."
Now that there were stairs, Laxelle didn't act pretentiously, but her attitude was still bad, "You know why don't you go quickly?"
Lu Xichen didn't care about Laixi'er's attitude and turned around to get her a bath towel.
I didn't do anything, so why did Laci's favorability score increase so much?
She just saw that Laciel's favorability towards her had reached 21.
Just overnight, the number went from single digits to double digits.
I wonder what Caroline is like now.
Would it be that with every passing day, her two sisters would automatically become more fond of her?
Or did she accidentally do something to increase her favorability?
Thinking carefully about what happened yesterday, nothing could affect the two of them.
After she came back, she had only just met Laceel and hadn't even met Caroline yet. How could she possibly do anything that would affect them?
Lu Xichen was puzzled and returned to the swimming pool with a towel, only to find that Lacie had already left with Renee, leaving Caroline alone.
Caroline was sitting on a rattan chair, swaying gently. When she saw Lu Xichen coming, she immediately stood up and took two quick steps. She came in front of Lu Xichen and stretched out her hand to slap her, but she was grabbed by the arm.
"Sister Caroline, even if I made a mistake, you wouldn't hit me without saying a word."
Lu Xichen forcefully pushed Caroline's arm away, causing Caroline to unconsciously take half a step back.
She sneered: "Do I need a reason to beat you?"
Lu Xishen touched the tip of his nose. This sounded a little familiar. Did she say this herself?
"Kayleen, do you know that you are annoying? You should be sent to church."
Caroline was just venting her feelings casually, but after she finished speaking she suddenly realized that this method was feasible, and a light immediately appeared in her eyes.
"Yes! We can send you to a church. With your current conditions, it will be no problem for you to become a nun."
"Ah?" Lu Xishen was a little surprised at Caroline's train of thought. How could it be so unconventional?
Caroline is a person of action, she does what she says.
She stopped talking nonsense with Lu Xichen and turned around and left the swimming pool.
Lu Xichen raised his eyebrows. He couldn't understand these two sisters. He always felt that they were weird.
The progress bar above Caroline's head showed 13.
Not as much as Lacee, but it also grew from single digits to double digits.
It's really weird.
Lu Xishen didn't take Caroline's words to heart.
She is the third daughter of the Earl. If she was thrown into the church so casually, how would the Earl put his face?
Lu Xishen was very confident, but the reality was contrary to his wishes.
She was indeed sent to the church, and all the influential people in the Earl's manor approved her.
Lu Xishen was walking on the street with Leni beside him.
At this moment, she still felt it was unreal. She was taken out like this? To be sent to the church?
"Miss Kailin, when you enter the church, you must be obedient. I can't be with you. There are some things you can endure."
After a long silence, Lu Xichen asked doubtfully: "Leni, won't my going to the church affect the Earl's reputation?"
“It will have an impact.”
"Then why let me go?"
Renee was silent for a long time, sighed, stopped, turned around helplessly and replied: "Ms. Kailin, don't ask so many questions, you just need to protect yourself."
"The church advocates bloodletting when you are sick. Do you think I can protect myself?" Lu Xishen looked indifferent.
Renee is the only person she can trust at the moment, and as long as Renee is willing to speak, what she says is true.
Leni pursed her lips and said nothing, then turned around and continued walking towards the church with Lu Xishen.
Lu Xichen was very confused. There was no mention of living in the church in the rules she got, so the church was a very dangerous place for her.
Maybe I can get new rules from the church, but what if there aren't any?
Staying in the Earl's Manor is the best choice, where she can better survive the Resurrection Day, so she still wants to go back.
"You are... Miss Kailin?"
Lu Xishen was thinking about how to persuade Leni when a familiar voice came from the side.
