Before the call could be made, the panicked voice of the servant came from outside.
“What happened? Why is there a blackout in the room?”
“Hurry up and turn on the backup power!”
“Where are Eldest Miss and Chief Zhou?”
Tan Rou turned around to look at Aunt Zhou and saw that the phone screen in her hand was lit up. She guessed that Aunt Zhou had called people over.
“Miss, I’m really sorry. It’s your first day back and 1 made you encounter such a thing. It’s our mistake!” Aunt Zhou bowed and apologized.
“You don’t have to apologize to me.” Tan Rou helped Aunt Zhou up. “No one could have predicted this. It might just be a blackout.”
“No, it can’t be a blackout. If there was a blackout in this area, the backup power generator underground would have been activated.” Aunt Zhou said in a heavy tone.
“But now, the underground power generator hasn’t been activated, which means that there’s no problem with the power supply in the main residence.” “So this is the only place with a blackout?” Tan Rou frowned slightly. She felt that this was not just a simple blackout.
The backup power was quickly activated. After the elevator was restored to power, it landed safely on the ground.
“Have you found out the reason for the blackout?” Aunt Zhou asked coldly.
“Someone pulled the main switch,” said a maid.
Aunt Zhou said angrily, “Find out who it is!”
Tan Rou stopped her.” Aunt Zhou, don’t tell anyone about this. I want to see if this person will do it a second time.”
Aunt Zhou was still worried. “Miss, this person is definitely coming after you. What if you let him do bad things and hurt you?”
“Aunt Zhou, don’t worry. 1 know who did it.” Tan Rou said.
After Tao Yue pulled the switch, she didn’t dare to stay to see if Tan Rou had fallen to her death. She ran out with the help of the streetlights outside the manor.
“Hu hu hu hu…” Tao Yue only stopped to rest for a while after she had run quite a distance. “Huff huff, did she fall to her death?”
Ten minutes later, the lights in Yuanxi Manor were restored, but there was still no sound. Tao Yue was confused. Did Tan Rou not fall to her death? The elevator went from the third floor to the first floor. There were only two floors. Even if they fell, they wouldn’t die.
Tao Yue felt a little regretful. She shouldn’t have pulled the power switch. If the Tao family investigated, they would soon find out about her.
After a while, Tao Yue decided to go back and see if Tan Rou was alright. It would be best if she fell and broke her head and ruined her face.
As soon as she entered the manor, Tao Yue heard the voices of the servants.
“Who pulled the switch?” One of the servants asked.
“It shouldn’t be done by one of us, right?” Another servant asked in fear, “If Old Master and Old Madam find out that we made a mistake at work, will we be fired?”
“Don’t think about the blackout first. Have you forgotten about Second Miss?
Didn’t she say she was going to deliver something?”
“That’s right. Where’s the second miss? Could it be that she was the one who pulled the switch just now?”
Hearing others mention her, Tao Yue felt that it was necessary to show her face so that they wouldn’t find out about her.
She came over from the door and asked them in a blaming tone, “Didn’t I tell you to wait for me over there? Why are you all gone the moment 1 come out? It’s so dark, I’m really scared to walk alone.”
The servants looked as if they had seen a ghost. “Second Miss, why did you come from outside? We thought you hadn’t come out yet.”
“Second Miss, I’m sorry! It was our mistake!” The servants were extremely afraid. They had already made two mistakes tonight. If they made another mistake, they might really be eaten.
“It’s too late now. Let’s go first.” Tao Yue glanced at the small building and saw Tan Rou at the door. She suddenly felt a little guilty. “Let’s go!”
After Tao Yue and the others left, Tan Rou returned to the living room.
“Second Cousin is really interesting.” Tan Rou suddenly said.
Aunt Zhou did not understand. “Eldest Miss, you mean…”
“Heh. I didn’t expect Second Cousin to come back to look for them. 1 thought she had left long ago.”
Aunt Zhou said, “Second Miss is not the kind of person who would wait for a servant.”
“That is why I said that she is indeed someone interesting.” Tan Rou chuckled at the thought of it..
