Chapter 347 Who Is in Charge?

For nobles, butlers and personal servants must be confidantes in an absolute sense.

Otherwise, the damage they can cause is often greater than that of their own wives.

So even if the hostess and hostess are at odds, normally the butler will not tell outsiders that the hostess is bad.

After all, it's not just about loyalty, it's about professional ethics.

Just like a lawyer would never reveal his client's secrets.

Once someone actually does it.

Either they will die if they don't say anything, or there are greater interests waiting for them.

Let them live a good life without worrying about losing their jobs or even gaining a foothold in this industry.

Does this mean that Condela may know some of John Gosford's secrets?

And this secret made him restless, so the long-term worry and anxiety prompted him to secretly express himself, and he was not in the same boat as the Gosford family?

Suddenly Li Changheng felt that what he did in the basement just now might yield unexpected gains.

After all, these maids and servants stay in the manor all year round.

Even if you don't know the real core secret, some fragmentary clues and the contradictions and secrets between the masters may be connected together.

Back in the living room, Li Changheng's eyes quickly swept over everyone.

The person with his back to him couldn't see the expression, but in an instant, he noticed that Sylvia, Mountbatten, Mickey, and Sylvia's two brothers-in-law all looked at him.

And the third younger brother-in-law Anthony, who is not tall, still has an obvious expression of relief.

Li Changheng walked up to Bell and the others with a smile, and pressed Bell who wanted to give up the position to him.

Andrew and others immediately asked where he went.

"The dessert for dinner was pretty good, so I went to the kitchen to ask today's dessert chef for advice, thinking about teaching Ms. Meryl to make one for Anne when I return to London."

Andrew immediately laughed happily, but he said, "I didn't expect you to be such a nice gentleman that you would even ask Annie to taste the desserts that you think are delicious.

Henry, be careful that Anne is spoiled by you, and it will be yourself in the end. "

Li Changheng raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I'm someone controlled by Annie?"

Andrew immediately thought that at Christmas the year before last, Henry was the one who stared at Anne so hard that she almost burst into tears in front of his father Philip.

"Henry, how on earth did you make my stubborn sister listen to you in everything?"

These words immediately attracted Bell, Jeffrey, Fred and Grosvenor.

He looked at Li Changheng curiously.

And Li Changheng shrugged with a smile, "Everything is better than her, and he pets and loves her, and more clearly sets a boundary that she cannot cross.

As long as she crossed that line, no matter how much she begged for mercy and apologized, she had to be punished. "

"Damn it, Henry, you must be talking nonsense.".

Seeing the other people nodding in confidence, Bell immediately said, "The first half of the sentence should be correct, but the second half must be misleading us?"

Jeffrey asked puzzled, "I think it's okay, there are some boundaries we can't violate, and women can't cross them either."

"God, Jeff, it's the first time I realize you're an idiot."

Bell said unhappily before Jeffrey got angry, "If your girlfriend apologizes or even begs for mercy, if you still punish your girlfriend.

What do you think the consequences will be? "

Andrew and the others were not stupid, so they immediately understood.

If that's the case, he will definitely be hated by his girlfriend. Playing a petty temper is a small problem, and it is not impossible to turn his face.

For a while, Li Changheng provoked public anger, so he was dragged and squeezed to sit between Bell and Jeffrey. After a while, he rolled his eyes from time to time and looked at the five guys who joined forces to win his own money.

But after all the fun, he still noticed what Sylvia and the Hollywood star named Ivor Nowell had said.

Ivor nodded with a smile, walked to the piano, played a serenade first, and then began to sing while playing.

If he had no doubts in his heart, Li Changheng might not have thought about it.

But Ave's behavior of playing and singing, in his eyes at this moment, is like sending a signal to other people.

Moreover, these piano sounds and singing sounds can also cover up some special sounds, which can attract unsuspecting people in the living room.

What's more, after playing and singing for about ten minutes, Li Changheng, who has excellent hearing, heard someone talking outside the living room, and some messy footsteps.

After listening carefully for a minute, I was sure that among the manor's servants, those who were qualified to come up from the basement.

For example, the maids, servants, guests' entourage, and servants of the Gosford family are dancing to the singing and the sound of the piano.

And to be honest, Ivory didn't play very well, but his voice was deep and deep, and even Li Changheng thought he sang very well.

So those kitchen maids and cleaners in the basement who are not qualified to come up, will they gather by the stairs to listen to music?

Then, does this count as attracting everyone in the manor, so that those with evil intentions can take advantage of it?

Fortunately, there are disadvantages, but it is not without advantages.

For Li Changheng, if he wants to investigate the case, this is actually a very favorable condition.

Only the method of elimination can send out 3 people, or even people with many people together.

There are dozens of people in the entire manor, and at least two-thirds can be eliminated immediately.

As long as you grab the hand, you can follow him to find other accomplices.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a woman's laughter.

Soon I saw Isabel, Sylvia's aunt, two younger sisters, Mabel, Perelin, and It, walking in talking and laughing.

All the men present stood up politely, and Mountbatten, who had been sitting on the sofa playing chess with Mickey, asked in a dissatisfied tone, "Where's John?"

Isabel was taken aback for a moment, and then said a little uneasy, "Father is in his study and said he was dealing with business matters. Let me tell everyone to leave him alone."

"Humph", Mountbatten snorted coldly, and continued to play chess with Mickey.

And Sylvia's two brothers-in-law, who had never had a sense of existence, walked from the corner of the living room to the ladies with wine glasses and started chatting.

As for the somewhat misfit producer, he stayed by the piano all the time, writing with a pen on the piano table while drinking, probably something he had heard or something about the script.

Li Changheng looked at his watch, the time was already 11:09pm.

Ivor, who was in charge of playing and singing, didn't seem to know how tired he was, playing and singing one after another without interruption.

After a while, some people started dancing, some people started guessing crossword puzzles, but no one wanted to go back to their room to sleep.

What surprised Li Changheng even more was that.

In this group of nobles who seemed to be laughing and laughing, only Perelin and Iter, the two eldest sons of the duke, really looked like nobles, drinking champagne glass after glass.

Then some people went to the bathroom, and some went to play billiards in the billiard room next to the living room.

Moreover, Li Changheng's eyes could easily see the billiard players, appearing near the open door from time to time.

For a while, he couldn't figure out who was in charge of doing it.
