Jian Qiao kept her head down to hide her gloomy expression.
The brothers and sisters are still chattering about asking for all kinds of property, jewelry, jewelry, fancy clothes, perfume... As long as it's in Desolate City and it's expensive enough, they want it all.
Their behavior is not like aristocrats, but more like beggars who have been hungry for days and nights. When they see a gluttonous meal, they can't wait to pounce on them, tearing up the fattest meat as much as possible.
They don't care if their stomachs will burst.
Jane Qiao listened patiently, nodding from time to time, as if she would definitely follow their orders. He looked submissive, but he had other plans in mind. For the people of Desolate City, he will never let these robbers slaughter.
There are countless people who like Angel's Tears and want to have it madly in the entire Totes Continent. He can secretly release the news that the gem was taken away by Mrs. Helen. Next, he doesn't have to do anything, just wait quietly.
Jealousy and greed are the catalysts for the struggle, and he believes that someone will take action against Helen.
Furthermore, Charles III had many mistresses who dreamed of becoming queens.
Helen, who was lucky to be pregnant at this stall, has already reached the cusp of the storm. If she wants to give birth to this child in a safe way, she should stay out of the house and guard against it, instead of relying on her own belly to make a fortune like she is now.
She has no idea how many enemies are lurking in the dark waiting to tear her apart, and she doesn't know how cruel those people can do for profit.
If it goes on like this, something will happen to her sooner or later.
And once something happened to her, Hall Grande would not be better. Their brother and sister's interests are tied together.
Thinking of this, the gloom on Jian Qiao's face has completely dissipated.
He straightened up and said softly, "Madam, I will definitely fulfill all your wishes."
Helen Grande suddenly screamed: "God, why are you so dirty? Get away from me! Oh no! You kissed my hand just now, you goddamn pig! If I'm because of you You fell ill from the kiss, and I must chop off your head!"
She hurriedly handed her hand to the maid, who knelt on the muddy ground and carefully wiped the back of her hand.
Hall Grande stared at Jane Joe's mud-splattered trouser legs with fierce eyes, and roared angrily: "You dirty guy, get away from me!"
He has not yet inherited the title, and he no longer regards the Earl of Jane Qiao in his eyes. If he inherits the title, to what extent will he be domineering
Jian Qiao apologized while stepping back, looking sincere and frightened on the surface, but full of anger in her heart. He was really fed up with these stupid siblings.
A middle-aged woman and a tall middle-aged man heard the roars of the brothers and sisters and hurried out of the castle. They were the Duke and Duchess of Grande.
"My dear cookie, what's the matter with you?" The woman held Helen Grande's cheek.
Helen hurriedly crouched on her mother's shoulder to tell her grievances.
The Duke of Grande heard the whole story, and immediately cast a bad look at the culprit.
Obviously, Jane Joe poked the hornet's nest. If Helen Grande's "fragile" heart could not be appeased, it would be impossible for him to leave this place today. The knights of the Duke's Mansion had already surrounded them, and everyone had a strong murderous look on their faces.
Jian Qiao's servants were so frightened that their legs were softened, and they were thinking about whether to kneel down and apologize, but they were all stunned on the spot.
Even Jane Qiao, who was in the eye of the storm, was in a trance for a moment.
I saw a graceful, graceful young woman walking out of the Duke's Mansion along a path full of pines and cypresses. She wore thick blonde hair like clouds and mist, and her hair was full of fragrance, and it was scattered in the wind with every step she took, which was ecstatic. She has the purest blue eyes, the most delicate bright red lips, and the most bewitchingly beautiful face.
Wrapped in a white Roman robe, she walked under the light of the melting torches, brushing off the drizzle and mist, like Venus born in the foam of the sea.
Her arrival instantly lit up the dark night sky.
Everyone looked at her fascinatedly, but there was no one in her eyes.
Hall, who was trying to beat Jane Qiao with a whip just now, quickly hid the weapon behind him, his knees trembled slightly, as if he was about to kneel down at any moment and kiss the back of the woman's hand with the most pious gesture.
The flame of love burning in his eyes can even be seen by the blind.
Jian Qiao just woke up in a trance for a moment, and then quickly retreated into the dark.
Immediately afterwards, the Duchess's sharp voice ripped apart the silence of the night: "What are you doing out here? Go back to me! The Duke's Mansion is not a place where a prostitute like you can stay!"
The woman smiled slightly and replied in a slow voice: "You whore can become a duchess, why can't I? I want to marry Lei Zhe, and no one can stop me!"
"No! You can't marry Razer!" The words were not from the Duchess, but from Hall.
After shouting, he couldn't help but froze.
The Duchess turned to look at him suddenly, with a look of disbelief on her face. She didn't expect that even her own son would be madly infatuated with this woman. If the other party is allowed to stay any longer, the duke's palace will be turned upside down!
Standing in the shadows, Jane Qiao already understands that this woman is Lei Zhe's lover and also Hall's dream.
If used properly, she should be a weapon against Hall.
Just as Jian Qiao thought of this, a very magnetic voice came from behind him: "Why can't she marry me? Hall, give me a reason."
Jane Joe looked back, but saw Lei Zhe jumped out of Baron Duncan's carriage and walked on foot. With a burst of anger on his face, he held the unsheathed long sword in his hand, and he looked like he would go to war if he disagreed.
Hall was at a loss for words.
Lei Zhe didn't even look at Jian Qiao, he just walked over without looking sideways.
His actions made Jian Qiao secretly relieved. He didn't want to get involved in the disputes between the brothers and become cannon fodder.
Lei Zhe picked up the woman, strode towards the duke's mansion, and announced without looking back: "I can give you the position of the heir; I can also give you the wealth of Grande; but I will never give it to you. I won't give her to anyone. We're engaged, and that's a fact that no one can change. Hall, put your mind away, or I'll kill you!"
His unusually tall figure was quickly engulfed by the thick fog.
The woman leaning on his shoulder raised her beautiful face and looked at Hall deeply.
Hall hurriedly chased after him, but the old duke pressed his shoulders hard, and sternly warned: "Don't covet the knight's wife, or you will die!"
Hall stopped chasing, as if he had accepted his fate, but his eyes were full of unwillingness and greed. He wanted to take everything Lei Zhe had.
Jane Qiao tapped the end of her eye with her fingertips, and there was a ray of light in her pupils.
Just now, Lei Zhe, who made a special trip out of the city to rob him, swears by the oath of "I would rather be beautiful than Jiangshan", is this credible
"What an epic love! That is Mia, the most beautiful woman in Totes. She is the pearl on the turtle's back." The coachman sighed softly.
Totes means turtle. The continent of Totes means the continent on the back of a turtle.
And Mia is known as the pearl on the turtle's back, which shows how widely her reputation has spread. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the dream of all men. Only a great noble like Lei Zhe would dare to marry her, otherwise he would definitely not be able to withstand the revenge of his rivals.
Jian Qiao sighed slightly in her heart.
At the same time, the old duke was also sighing. He seemed to have foreseen something bad, and there were a lot of worries on his face, and he didn't have the heart to care about Jane Qiao's offending daughter, and waved his hand: "Go away."
Jian Qiao hurriedly saluted and left.
Helen warned sharply, "If you can't make me happy tomorrow, I'll make you pay the price!"
The so-called making her happy is nothing more than giving more jewelry and brocade clothes. It would be even better if the entire city of Desolate could be hollowed out.
Her greed, selfishness, and arrogance have reached an outrageous level.
Jian Qiao nodded in agreement, then bent down and walked away.
Boarding the carriage and slowly driving away from the giant beast-like duke's mansion, the red-haired manservant said tremblingly, "Sir, do you really want to give the angel's tears to Madam Helen?"
Jane Qiao gently turned an emerald ring on her thumb and remained silent. At this moment, he couldn't help thinking of that Queen Mo An.
When Angel's Tears were first carved, she also sent a female officer to Desolate to make a wish to buy it. Yes, buy, not ask. Even as a queen, she always follows the principle of fair trade.
Jane Joe made an offer, and her female officer left regretfully after thinking about it for a few days. They couldn't afford it, so they chose to give up. Not only that, Queen Moan also persuaded Charles III to give up the idea of forcibly asking for this gem.
It is because of her exemplary role and silent protection that Angel's Tears can stay in Desolate.
Compared with Lei Zhe, Queen Mo An is more restrained and polite, and she is more upright and generous. She is a very amazing woman.
There was a soft color in Jian Qiao's eyes, but in an instant, this rare tenderness disappeared, replaced by a deep thought.
He suddenly remembered a trivial little detail.
A few months ago, the lady official came to Desoulette again to buy perfume from Jane Joo. She had seriously asked Jane Qiao which perfumes pregnant women could not use, and what would happen if they were used carelessly.
Jane Qiao listed all the perfume ingredients that may cause miscarriage in pregnant women on a list, and asked the female official to take it back to the queen.
At the time, he thought it was reasonable for the queen to ask these questions when she was trying to conceive. But looking at it now, it's not like that anymore.
Jian Qiao blinked, and the dark light in her pupils disappeared in an instant.
He lightly touched the end of his eyes with his fingertips and said slowly, "You know, a crown is an ornament that only queens can wear, and I believe that Mrs. Helen will never have a chance to have a crown in her life. So our angel's tears will never be worn again. It doesn't work either."
"Why? Isn't she about to give birth to a little prince?" The red-haired servant's face was full of doubts.
Jane Qiao looked at the drizzle and dense fog outside the window, and said calmly, "I will prepare a pure black cloth and a pure black headscarf for her, she will need it sooner or later."
In Totes, a woman with a dead husband and child must wear black clothes and a black scarf, and be mourned for three years. This is a law that no one can violate.
