Chapter 639 Doubt
Jiang Mubai didn't dare to move and didn't know what to do. She felt helpless standing on the stairs alone. After all, she didn't know whether the person who wanted to frame her had done anything else downstairs.
This time there was water on the ground and she was lucky enough to hold on to the stairs and stand firm so she didn't fall down. If there was something else waiting for her down there, Jiang Mubai couldn't guarantee that she would be as lucky as just now.
Wen Nuohan watched the time pass by and Jiang Mubai still didn't come out, so he began to get anxious. The key point was that not only did he not see Jiang Mubai, he didn't even hear any sound.
Even if a person fell to the ground, there should be some noise. Wen Nuohan thought to himself that it was impossible for there to be no sound at all.
As Wen Nuohan thought about this, she suspected that Jiang Mubai had gotten up late and had not come out of the room yet, so she came out cautiously to check.
Since Jiang Mubai had been standing on the stairs looking down, as soon as Wen Nuohan, who was hiding below, showed up, Jiang Mubai noticed the other party's movements.
At first, Jiang Mubai thought that it was a servant from the old house who came out, and she was planning to call someone to help her, but she didn't know if the other person was the one who splashed water on the stairs to hurt her, so when she saw the other person, Jiang Mubai resisted the urge to call him.
When Wen Nuohan looked up at the stairs, Jiang Mubai finally saw that the person coming was actually her. Jiang Mubai was quite surprised that she appeared here at this time.
Wen Nuohan didn't expect that when she looked up, she would see Jiang Mubai standing on the stairs looking at her blankly. She had not anticipated this scene, so when she met Jiang Mubai's eyes, Wen Nuohan was shocked and thought that Jiang Mubai had discovered what she had done.
She started to feel uneasy when Jiang Mubai was staring at her. Seeing that Jiang Mubai was looking at her without saying anything, Wen Nuohan felt nervous for a rare time and felt particularly guilty.
"Mu Mubai! Why are you standing there looking at me and not... saying anything? What's wrong?"
Wen Nuohan's guilty conscience and nervousness were about to overflow from his heart, and Jiang Mubai couldn't possibly not notice it, so when facing such a Wen Nuohan, Jiang Mubai also felt that the other party's behavior was very abnormal.
"Nothing, my leg suddenly cramped and I was afraid to go down the stairs, so I stood here for a while."
"Really? How are you feeling now?"
"Yeah, much better."
"Then let me help you down. It's dangerous for you to go down the stairs alone with a big belly. It would be bad if your legs cramp again."
Jiang Mubai didn't want Wen Nuohan to come over to help, but she couldn't just stand there without moving, as that would only arouse the other party's suspicion.
Moreover, Jiang Mubai was not sure whether Wen Nuohan was the one who splashed the water, so she did not want to let the other party or anyone who knew that there was water on the ground be discovered by her. So after hearing what Wen Nuohan said, Jiang Mubai had to go along with it and got down to the stairs with her support.
"Why are you here in the main house so early? I remember that servants weren't allowed to come to the main house casually."
"I'm here to take your class. Our class is on the second floor. How can I get to the study room to study with you if I don't pass by here?"
"Well, I forgot about this."
Seeing that Jiang Mubai believed what he said, Wen Nuohan felt relieved.
Although Jiang Mubai believed Wen Nuohan's words on the surface, he had even greater doubts in his heart. Usually, this time was when she went downstairs to have breakfast, and it was still early for her to go to the study for class. Moreover, Wen Nuohan usually waited for her at the study door when he accompanied her to class. This time, he was waiting for her downstairs so early, so it was understandable that Jiang Mubai was suspicious of him.
Although she had doubts in her heart, she did not want to alert the other party and show it, because if the other party noticed it, she would use more covert methods to frame her next time.
Jiang Mubai thought so and didn't say much. She planned to observe Wen Nuohan carefully from behind, hoping to find any flaws in him.
"Have you had breakfast? If not, go downstairs and eat. I'm about to start eating breakfast too."
"Don't worry, I've already eaten. I woke up very early today. I didn't stay in bed but got up to wash and eat breakfast. If I hadn't gotten up so early, I wouldn't be so impatient to come to the main house of the old house to wait for you."
"Okay, then you go back and get ready. I should go back to my room after breakfast to pack my things for class."
"Oh, right, right! Look at my memory. Sometimes I wake up early and my brain is not enough. I said I would wait for you to go to class so early. How can I go to class without even a notebook and a pen? If you hadn't reminded me, I would be embarrassed in class later."
"It's okay. I found it. There's still time. Just go back to your room and get it."
"Okay, then I'll go back to my room to get my things. Mu Bai, take your time to eat breakfast."
Jiang Mubai was the only one eating at the table today, and no one else was there. This made Jiang Mubai feel that the unknown water stains on the stairs were even more suspicious.
She thought that someone had done all this on purpose because they knew that no one else was in the old house today, but the other party's means of framing her were not very clever and were immediately seen through by Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Mubai was eating breakfast while thinking about the people in the old house. She stayed at home in the old house every day and generally did not deal with the servants, so there was no contradiction or conflict of interest between her and these people.
Jiang Mubai thought so but she did not rule out the possibility that someone among these people did this under instructions. If someone really did this, she would have to be careful and not be careless.
Now Jiang Mubai not only has to be on guard against the servants working in the old house, but also has to be on guard against the most suspicious Wen Nuohan. After all, the first person Jiang Mubai can think of to suspect is Jiang Jinglan, and Wen Nuohan was brought back by Jiang Jinglan, which makes her even more suspicious of the other party's motives.
"I accidentally spilled water on the stairs. Ask someone to clean it up. It would be bad if someone accidentally fell and rolled down."
Jiang Mubai looked at the servant who had served her breakfast and gave instructions, "Okay, Miss, I'll tell the housekeeper to arrange for someone to clean up immediately."
Jiang Mubai did not directly say that someone spilled water on it because she didn't know what happened yet. She also did not directly say that the cleaner was careless and did not clean it thoroughly. After all, there was someone in the old house who posed a threat to her. Jiang Mubai thought that it was always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Therefore, the water on the ground could only have been spilled there by Jiang Mubai accidentally.
Seeing that the servant he had just instructed did not have any strange behavior or expression, Jiang Mubai knew that the other party did not doubt his words, so he ruled out the other party's suspicion.
But there are so many people working in the old house, and Jiang Mubai doesn't have time to personally eliminate the suspicion of these people one by one. What if someone has good acting skills and pretends to be calm?
Jiang Mubai thought about this and told himself to be more careful in the old house and not to trust anyone easily in the future.
