Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

Bai Youwei looked up at the two people by the railing.

The gardener was meticulously comforting Cheng Qian.

Cheng Qian, deeply frightened, needed this kind of care. She buried herself in his chest, sobbing incessantly, making their posture appear even more intimate.

Bai Youwei withdrew her gaze, no longer looking at the man and woman, but lowered her eyes to look at her palm.

There was a button there.

It was the one she had just torn from the gardener's shirt.

The gardener, because of his constant trips up and down the stairs, had lost his initial gentleness and care, and was only focused on rushing up and down, completely unaware of Bai Youwei's actions.

She looked at it for a while, put the button away, and wheeled herself towards the dining room.

At this moment, a quarrel suddenly erupted upstairs!

"Cheng Qian! Are you a dog that can't stop eating shit?! I haven't seen you for a few minutes, and you're already in a man's arms?!" Hu Ya's voice was loud and shrill, filled with inexplicable anger. "Is it possible that in a little while, you'll be rolling around in bed with a man?!"

Cheng Qian was already as timid as a quail, and now, being scolded by Hu Ya, her face was pale and her tears fell like rain. She stammered, unable to speak.

Yu Yaqing also felt that Cheng Qian's behavior was inappropriate. At such a critical moment, she was actually flirting with an NPC; it was simply absurd.

However, Hu Ya's words were unnecessarily harsh.

She frowned and said, "What's the point of arguing with her about this at a time like this?"

Hu Ya pulled Cheng Qian out of the gardener's arms and then flung her away with extreme disgust! Cheng Qian fell to the ground, tearful and incredibly weak.

Seeing her delicate and pitiful appearance, Hu Ya became even angrier. She raised her hand to slap her!

"Hu Ya!" Yu Yaqing couldn't stand it any longer and raised her hand to stop Hu Ya. "What's gotten into you?!"

"I want to teach her a lesson!" Hu Ya said angrily, glaring at Cheng Qian. "I want to cure her of her disease of not being able to be away from men for three minutes!"

Yu Yaqing coldly rebuked, "Enough! What she does is none of your business! Mind your own business! Where's the key I asked you to find? Did you find it?!"

Hu Ya bit her lip and replied, "No!"

Yu Yaqing frowned and then looked at Su Man and Zhu Zhu, "What about you? Did you find the key?"

"No." Su Man shook her head, saying with annoyance, "There are too many rooms. We don't even know where to start looking."

Yu Yaqing frowned tightly, not saying anything.

She thought of the real and fake keys the gardener had mentioned…

Now, Hu Ya, Zhu Zhu, Su Man… all said they hadn't found the key. That meant that out of the six of them, only she had found a key, and it was a real one.

Not a single fake key had been found. Was that possible?

Were they hiding information? Like the gardener said, did they… all want to be the "last bride" in order to get a high reward? Even at the cost of betraying their companions?

…Companions?

No, they were never companions to begin with.

They even had grudges.

Yu Yaqing pursed her lips tightly, the scales in her heart tilting back and forth, swaying incessantly.

The real key was in her hand.

But should she tell them?

…

At this moment, Hu Ya's heart was in a different kind of turmoil—

I trusted her so much! And she actually scolded me in front of everyone for that bitch Cheng Qian!!!

What does she take me for?! A servant girl to be ordered around and scolded at will?! Since she looks down on me! Why should I listen to her?! Why?!!

I won't hand over the key. I won't tell anyone!

I want to live until Sunday and become the last bride!

…

Bai Youwei glanced at the women with their varied expressions, withdrew her gaze, and wheeled herself straight to the dining room.

It was still a little while before dinner time. The Overseer was preparing dinner.

"Dinner" was nothing more than some disgusting raw meat and fresh blood.

Bai Youwei silently took her seat, sizing up the Overseer.

It looked over and smiled slightly, "Is there a problem?"

Bai Youwei propped her chin up and said slowly, "I found a gardener in the manor today. His temperament and feeling are very similar to yours."

She paused and added, "But he's not as ugly as you."

Overseer: "…"
