The young man named Xiao...Cado embarked on his way home in the dusk.
Feld was very excited and kept pulling his brother and cousin to talk about today's experience. Mingna smiled and chatted with him, and sometimes teased him. Bevin, on the other hand, was quite silent, except for occasionally responding with a few words. While deep in thought, I sometimes glanced at my brother and cousin, seeming a little uneasy.
Mingna noticed it and wanted to ask him what was wrong, but Feld spoke first: "Brother, why are you in such a daze? Why don't you answer me?"
"Huh?" Bevin woke up from his thoughts and smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I was distracted for a moment. What did you just say?"
Feld came closer and smiled: "I just said that the stew Catherine brought today is really delicious, almost as good as the one produced by Happy Forest! Did she make it herself?"
"Ah, yes..." Bevin replied absentmindedly.
Feld didn't notice any difference: "How about calling Sister Manda to eat next time? She has been in a bad mood recently. Maybe she will feel happy after eating delicious stew!"
Bevin was agitated and quickly shouted: "No!" Seeing his brother looking at him with doubtful eyes, he was silent for a while and then said: "Can you promise me something? I met Catherine today when I got home. Finally, can you not tell anyone?"
"Why?" Feld felt a little inexplicable, but soon he felt that he had guessed his brother's thoughts, and said with a bad smile, "I know, you are afraid that your father and mother will know, so you used the excuse that you have a job at the Knights' Office. , I can't accompany them to the dance, so I actually sneaked out to play, right? Don't worry, I'm not that stupid! If my mother knew that I also went to play, she would definitely scold me." He patted his brother's shoulder vigorously and leaned over. He whispered: "But it doesn't matter if you tell Manda, she will keep it a secret for us."
Bevin looked at him seriously and said solemnly: "I also believe that Manda will keep our secret, but... I really don't want anyone else to know. Brother, please promise me. And Mingna, please You also keep my secret."
Ming Na stopped and said nothing. Feld asked puzzledly: "Of course there is no problem with keeping secrets, but why? Is my brother worried that our mother will blame us for associating with common people? It's just a dance and some stew. What does it matter? What's wrong with my brother?" It’s not about marrying Catherine.”
Bevin looked at him silently. There seemed to be something hidden in his eyes. Felder gradually put away his smile. His mouth opened wide: "No way...brother. You don't really plan to marry her, do you?!"
"Why not? My dear brother. You saw it today. Catherine is a wonderful girl. Kind and considerate. She makes me feel warm."
Feld jumped up suddenly: "Kind and considerate aristocratic ladies are everywhere! Don't you feel the warmth at home?! Brother, she is a commoner!"
Bevan was a little excited: "I don't care if she is a commoner. I just know. If you ask me what kind of girl I want as a wife, the answer is like Catherine! Such an appearance. Such a character. I like her. I love her." Her. Whether she is a commoner or a noble."
"Brother. You are really crazy!" Feld also waved his arms excitedly. "Mother will not agree. Absolutely not!"
Bevan bit his lip. After a while, he said: "I know. So... I have been saving my salary from the Cavaliers in the past two years. There are also some savings from the past. If... my father and mother really can't accept it..."
Ming Na's eyes widened: "Bevin, you don't want to run away from home, do you?"
Feld shouted: "No! Brother, you are the heir!"
Bevin lowered his head and said: "But I am unwilling to give up on Catherine. If my father and mother knew about this, they would probably be very angry, right? Maybe they would do something to Catherine's family, but if I can be independent, I can help them." Of course I don’t want to leave my relatives, but if my father and mother really can’t accept it, I might as well leave for a while. Anyway, it’s not like I haven’t experienced the life of an ordinary person.”
Feld was so anxious that he ran back and forth: "No, no, no, how can my brother leave?! You are the heir to our two families! You are also the vice-captain of the Royal Knights! How can...how can...what is the charm of that Catherine? Can you even ignore your family?!" His eyes turned red, and he said aggrievedly: "Brother, would you really rather leave us? I...I hate that woman! She must have done it on purpose! Bad woman!"
"That's not the case!" Bevan said hurriedly, "This matter has nothing to do with her, it is entirely my own idea."
"If it weren't for her, you wouldn't think so. You are the heir to the Card family, and the Xiao family is so rich. She must have deliberately seduced you. There are many commoner girls who want to seduce aristocratic young masters, and she is one of them. one!"
"She didn't even know that I was from the Card family. She always thought that I was just an ordinary knight!" Bevin grabbed his brother's left arm angrily, "Felder, please don't slander her like this again. Then It will only make me disappointed in you!"
Felder gasped rapidly and flattened his mouth, feeling extremely aggrieved. Upon seeing this, Mingna hurriedly separated them and said to Bevan: "Don't be angry, Feld is just anxious for you." She asked Feld in a low voice if his arm hurt, and he said "No" and turned away. Headed. Minna had no choice but to say to Bevin: "I don't think it's a big deal if you want to marry a commoner. But given the situation of your family, I'm afraid it's unlikely. If you really make up your mind, even if you leave home , or even give up the right to inherit, and would rather live a poor life to be with Catherine, then I can only bless you."
"Cousin Minna!" Feld looked back at her in disbelief, but was comforted by her eyes, and said: "But there is one thing I suggest you do first. That is to confess your identity and family background to Catherine. , and the obstacles you may encounter. I don’t know if she loves you so much. If she knows all the truth and is willing to face all the difficulties with you, then...even if your uncle and aunt really want to drive you away Come on, you are also welcome to Mayton." Looking at Bevin with a surprised look on his face, she smiled and said seriously: "But you must tell her the truth first. If she continues to be ignorant, what will happen to her? It's so unfair. You can't hide it from her for the rest of your life. Even if two people love each other again, if they can't admit it to each other, it's a very sad thing. It may lead to some unnecessary misunderstandings, and they have to separate in the end."
If her parents had not experienced those hardships, no one knows whether they would have separated due to misunderstanding. Every time she remembered that her mother boarded the ship and left, but her father did not catch up, she wiped her hands in cold sweat.
Bevan was touched by her words. He never expected to find support from this emotional cousin: "Thank you, Mingna, I...I don't know how to express my gratitude. I will find an opportunity to tell you Catherine's, I believe she will face it with me.
Feld's little face almost bulged. He shook off Ming Na's hand in dissatisfaction and left. Ming Na quickly pulled him back and whispered: "Felder, you won't tell uncles and aunts, right? What if? If you really do this, Bevin will have to leave the house, and you don’t want that to happen, right?”
Bevin looked at his brother with hope in his eyes. Feld was silent for a while and then said harshly: "I don't care about you! When that woman knows the truth, she will be too scared to see you again. Just wait. !" After saying that, he shook off Ming Na's hand and walked away.
Bevin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ming Na gratefully. Ming Na pointed at Feld's back with a smile, and the former hurriedly followed.
When we returned to the Card family's mansion, two large carriages were parked in the front yard. Apparently, the people who went to the palace to attend the ball had returned.
Bevin once again asked Felder in a low voice to keep it secret. The latter's face was stern, but he still reluctantly nodded in agreement. Ming Na was secretly amused and touched his head, but was thrown away by her little cousin.
As soon as they entered the door, they heard a fierce female quarrel coming from the stairs. When they got closer, they discovered that it was Lilith and her eldest daughter Beryl. The former accused his daughter of neglecting Hubert when he disappeared during the dance, which not only damaged the friendship between the two families, but also failed his parents' expectations.
Beryl looked a little haggard, and originally didn't want to pay attention to her mother's accusations, but after listening to Lilith chattering about how excellent Hubert was, she suddenly exploded: "No matter how excellent he is, it has nothing to do with me! He is obviously a man with bad records. A playboy, just because his family is rich and he has a seat in the aristocracy, his mother admires him so much? I know what you and your father are thinking, do you want to push me to him? Don't forget who I have an engagement agreement with! You plan to get rid of me before the matter is settled. Do you treat me as your daughter?!"
"What did you say?!" Lilith was furious, "You want to imply that your father and I will sacrifice your happiness for the Chelsea family's wealth, don't you? Ridiculous! You can clearly see Hubert's excellence, If that person is not a prince, how can he compare to him?! Moreover, I am afraid that he has forgotten about his engagement agreement with you! Otherwise, he would not refuse you to visit him! When the palace manager sent you back today Have you forgotten what I said?!"
These words hit Beryl's heart achingly. She took advantage of the opportunity to attend the palace ball and wanted to visit the eldest prince and confirm whether his injury was really as serious as the rumors said. Unexpectedly, she was invited back outside the eldest prince's palace as soon as she arrived. The eldest prince also asked the palace manager to Tell her, "She doesn't need to do anything, just stay at home quietly and wait for the results." What does this mean? Didn't everything she did before be ignored by him? She is not the kind of little woman who does nothing but waits for the results! Doesn't he trust her? !
Looking at her mother's face, she didn't know why. Sihedan??Yunxiangxillary catfish star?Cureɑü?Pupa tiller division Tu Shaoyue play???锸 quietly stunned male resistance coffee 猓?攔 barrel castration?Mechanical man accept the 穸 squeeze beside Chen Wan stable alliance? 晌? Stupidly give the emperor a piece of cake? The law is narrow. Send the emperor to teach the pancreas. Gray? Chasing dizzy before sulfur discharge?br>
After she said these words, she felt that the depression that had been weighing on her recently was gone, and she felt much more relaxed. Looking at her mother who was shaking with anger, she felt so happy that she walked up the stairs with her head held high and her chest raised.
When she turned the corner, she met her sister who was looking at her in shock. She sneered: "Are you angry? Unfortunately, you are not qualified! Why should a weak and mediocre woman like you become the future queen? You are not worthy!" "After that, he pushed Manda aside and walked straight to the room.
Manda stood in silence for a while before going downstairs and walking to her mother. She felt a little confused as her mother kept scolding her sister, "It's really crazy, it's really crazy."
Is she really too weak? She had always thought that her sister would become the queen, but now that things had changed so much, she was a little breathless.
Selig, where are you? Please tell me, what should I do
When the three people standing at the door saw this situation, they all hesitated whether they should approach or not. Minna hesitated for a moment, then whispered goodbye to the Bevin brothers and slipped away.
Although Beryl has always been a little indifferent towards her sister, it is really rare for her to mock her as maliciously as she did today. Xiao... What will be the final outcome of the two sisters from the Card family and the two brothers from the Wang family
When Ming Na returned to the Rose Garden, it was already dark. Oil lamps were hung on the front and back of the main house, illuminating a carriage at the gate. Ming Na felt a little unfamiliar and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Burley was guarding the gate. When he saw her coming back, he hurriedly ran over and whispered: "The man in the carriage is Mr. Alex's father. He comes to see you, but he refuses to come in and sit and wait. I'm afraid He will make things difficult for you, so be careful." As a descendant of the Jones family, he has naturally heard about the dispute between Xiao Tianjian and the Mandheling family, and his worries are not unreasonable.
Ming Na also became cautious after hearing the words, and cautiously approached the carriage. Before she could speak, the person inside had already opened the window first, looked at her sideways with an arrogant face, and asked: " Are you Ming Na Xiao...Cado?"
"Yes." Ming Na curtsied in a very ladylike manner, "This is the first time we meet, are you Alex's father? Excuse me..."
"Where is my son?" The other party interrupted her, seeming a little impatient.
"Alex went on a far journey, but he didn't tell me where he went. Don't you know..."
She carefully studied the expression of the head of the Mandheling family, and lowered his head when he saw his face darken.
"I heard that he gave you the key to the house? Huh, you two are on good terms..."
His tone was a little weird, and Ming Na was slightly unhappy. Only when she thought of the other party's identity, she endured it: "His key is placed in a hidden place in the Green Room, not with me."
"That would be the best." The head of the Mandheling family knocked on the carriage wall with his cane, "I heard that you are very familiar with each other, but Alex has always been very laid-back and can make friends with anyone. As a Father, I hope he can be more cautious in his friendships, after all...he is the son of the Mandheling family."
The wheels of the carriage turned, and he left without giving anyone a chance to speak. Mingna looked at the retreating shadow of the carriage and kicked up a pebble angrily.
What does he mean? Can't she be friends with Alex
She kicked the tree trunk by the road several times before she stopped sadly.
She has never realized so clearly that there is a deep gap between the Xiao... Card family and the Mandheling family. Even if she has a deep friendship with Alex, she cannot change this fact.
(I guess someone will be out tomorrow...)
