Chapter 645: Lady Maria's thoughts

Views:

Some things can't be hidden just because you want to, and my sister Anna also understands this. Now that Claude is back, she needs to tell her brother what happened. After all, Claude is the most trustworthy person in her heart. After hesitating for a moment, sister Anna spoke up. The story started after Claude went to serve in the army and left home.

In September of that year, Mrs. Maria came to White Deer City. She first inspected the Normanly Real Estate Development Company, then had a cordial meeting with Viscount Felidos, the manager of White Deer City, and finally returned to the Normanly Forest Farm to meet her sister. Anna, her mother, and her three younger brothers. Probably for Claude's sake, Lady Maria agreed to accept Anna as her pharmacy disciple.

But after nine months of getting along, Mrs. Maria discovered that she had really received a treasure. Just as she later wrote to Claude to show off, her sister Anna was better than K in both pharmacy and magic talent. Lorde is much stronger. This reminded Mrs. Maria of herself when she was a child, so she spent a lot of effort in cultivating her sister Anna.

If it weren't for her younger sister Anna to take care of her mother and young brother who had just recovered from her health, Lady Maria would really have brought her back to the royal capital and kept her by her side to teach her carefully. However, even if she stayed in the forest farm, her sister did not disappoint Madam Maria. Her self-study in pharmacy made rapid progress, which surprised Madam Maria. They communicated through letters. The younger sister asked questions, and Madam Maria answered them. Provide guidance and sometimes send several letters a month.

This was the first year after Claude left home. At the end of the year, the four buildings that Claude entrusted to Boquear's father, Mr. Lubiwell, to be supervised were all completed, and his sister Anna became the most wealthy tenant in White Deer City. In addition, Uncle Thomas, the former White Deer Patrol Supervisor, was successfully elected as one of the three members of Congress in White Deer. The Normanli Real Estate Development Company under the leadership of Lutheran Steward has also taken over other infrastructure construction projects of the naval base, and everything is developing in a good direction.

In September of the next year, Mrs. Maria came to the forest farm again for vacation. She loved her well-behaved and sensible sister Anna so much that she even had the idea that her sister Anna could become his daughter-in-law and become a daughter-in-law like her in the future. The royal physician of the Sterling royal family.

Lady Maria has a son and a daughter. Her husband is Viscount Katf, who was born in the Royal Guards and is highly trusted by Sterling X. He is currently the deputy commander of the Guards Corps. During the Guards Corps' expedition, he commanded the remaining troops and was in charge of the royal capital. security work.

From a certain perspective, the excellence of parents does not mean that their children are equally outstanding. This is true for both Lady Maria's son and daughter. Perhaps it was the superior life after birth that made the two children, who were pampered and soaked in honey pots, grow up to become playboys who were neither capable nor successful in military affairs.

As a mother, Mrs. Maria is also deeply worried about her two children. The eldest son Hettinger, who is as old as Claude, was expelled from the military school because of poor grades. He had to transfer to the Kingdom's Lausett liberal arts academy to train civil servants. However, he was dismissed a year later because he missed too many classes. , and then went to the so-called Wang Art Training Center to hang out. After the war broke out, he was drafted into the army nearby and became a new recruit of the remaining troops of the Guards. Of course, his father spent a lot of effort to keep him in this new regiment, which was formed entirely of favors and relationships.

The second daughter, Christy, is two years younger than her brother. She is a typical princess patient, arrogant, unruly, selfish, and extremely harsh on her servants. She thought she was of noble birth and liked to bully others, so she was scolded by her uncle who couldn't bear to see him: "Your grandpa is just a shoemaker. What's so great about you? How dare you insult and whip civilians in the street just because he blocked your carriage?" Are you a moment late for your appointment? This is simply unreasonable!

Mrs. Maria felt troubled by her two children. As a mother, she focused on pharmacy experiments and neglected the education of her young children, so she felt guilty from the bottom of her heart and always tried her best to meet their requirements. This also provided fertile ground for the two children to develop a playboy character. Their father was even busier, often staying away from home and staying in the military camp. Only when the two children grew up did they realize what they had missed...

In fact, Mrs. Maria's two children are very smart. Although the eldest son Hettinger is not good at literature or martial arts, he can learn everything about eating, drinking and playing. He is also very handsome and handsome, with a charming demeanor and a talent. Unfortunately, he is just a handsome boy. useless. But with their family background, it was enough for him to live happily for the rest of his life.

The second daughter Christy is not stupid. She can be said to be very scheming. She is also considered a popular figure in the circle of aristocratic ladies in the royal capital. Her wish is to become the fourth prince Frey of Sterling X. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Delhi. Because in her opinion, only royal blood can match her noble origin. For an eighteen-year-old girl, this idea is a bit crazy.

Madam Maria once had an idea for Claude. After the Normandy Real Estate Development Company made a huge profit for her that she could not imagine, she wanted to tie Claude to their family's boat and work for her. At this time, Mrs. Maria had considered whether to betroth her daughter Christy to Claude as his wife. But then I thought about my daughter's character and gave up the idea because it would be too easy for Claude to turn against his family...

Now looking at her well-behaved, obedient and studious sister Anna, Mrs. Maria's love cannot be suppressed. She thinks it would be a good idea to make her sister Anna her daughter-in-law. Although his son is not promising, he is good-looking and his personality is not as arrogant and unruly as his sister Christie. He is still very obedient to his mother's words. Anna, on the other hand, has a soft-spoken personality but is strong on the inside. If the two of them get married, someone will be able to control her son's casualness, and he won't need to worry too much about the future of his family...

However, her younger sister Anna was only sixteen years old at the time and was still in the second grade of junior high school, so Mrs. Maria could only keep this idea in her heart and occasionally joke with Anna to let her graduate and become her daughter-in-law. , making Anna blush.

This was the second year after the outbreak of the war. The construction of the naval base was progressing smoothly. At the end of the year, Viscount Felidos, the governor of White Deer City, launched an ambitious expansion plan for White Deer City, preparing to use the new city in the east and the naval base in the west as the central axis. , expanded Bailu City to three times its original size, and implemented a new round of land acquisition plan. This has not affected the peaceful life of the Field family. The only bad news is that the kingdom's mandatory conscription has reduced the number of workers in the construction team of Normandy Real Estate Development Company by one-third.

In the first half of the third year, the construction of the naval base was basically completed. After settling the balance, there was a huge profit of more than 100,000 gold crowns. Regardless of the opposition of other shareholders, Lutheran Butler decided to invest all the funds in the expansion of the new city of Bailu City, preparing to repeat the old path of selling the entire community of the naval base and purchase the corresponding land parcels from the Bailu City Administration Office. Build a well-equipped neighborhood and sell it for high profits.

In mid-August, Mrs. Maria came to the forest farm for vacation half a month early. This time she brought her two children with her. Her son Hettinger was transferred from the new regiment in the name of dispatching guards. As the hereditary baron of the kingdom, Lady Maria did have this right. Of course, her husband also helped his wife a lot.

Mrs. Maria thought very simply that it would be best for her son and Anna to get to know each other first and develop a good impression of each other. She told Hettinger that Anna is the future wife chosen by your mother for you, and you must win her favor. And he said to Anna, this is my son, how is it? He is handsome, are you tempted

For her seventeen-year-old sister Anna, the beautiful Hettinger is indeed the prince charming in every girl's dream. He is elegant, funny, polite, handsome and comes from an extraordinary family. She was indeed a little moved by it and was very grateful to Madam Maria. It's just that the younger sister, Christie, is really annoying, with her nostrils turned up in the air, and she looks down on people. But in front of Mrs. Maria, she was still very well-behaved and obedient.

However, in early September, Madam Maria received an urgent letter from the Royal Capital saying that His Majesty's old illness had relapsed, so Madam Maria rushed back to the Royal Capital first, leaving her two children at the forest farm. And once she left, Hettinger and Christie lost their restraints and showed their true colors. Heltinger plunged into the Fengyue District of the naval base and did not come back for several days and nights. Kristi, on the other hand, was bossy and domineering in the forest farm, showing her face to Anna. Anna ignored her and went to school, went home, experimented with potions and studied hard.

Hettinger, who had been missing for nearly a week, finally returned to the forest farm. His pale complexion showed that he was physically weak, had weak kidneys, and suffered too much physical expenses. He came to his sister Anna to get some medicine in that area so that he could regain his masculine glory of one versus two or three. As expected, he was rejected by his sister Anna.

So the brain-dead Hettinger actually threatened his sister Anna. If she refused to listen to him, he would not agree to his mother's request and marry his sister Anna. This surprised my sister Anna. When did I actually want to curry favor with your family and insist on marrying you? If you still want to marry me like this, just go ahead and dream! Sister Anna has given up on this playboy whom she had a crush on, and now she is in a dilemma just how to reject Lady Maria.

It was evening, and my sister Anna was reading and studying in Madam Maria's pharmacy laboratory. Having a man and a widow in the same room gave Heltinger evil thoughts and decided to marry his sister Anna on the spot, so that she would not obey and do things against her own wishes in the future. Even if they get married according to her mother's wishes in the future, then He also has the final say...

It's just a beautiful thought, but the ending is tragic. Hettinger, who had been hollowed out, was no match for his younger sister Anna, who was a little panicked at first when he was suddenly attacked by Hettinger, and let him take some advantage by groping her body. . But her sister Anna, who quickly reacted, was filled with shame and anger, and she would never show mercy. After the seriousness was lost, Hettinger could only beg for his life.

By the time the servants who heard the noise arrived, Hettinger was already in terrible condition. The head injury was minor, and his right hand and left foot were fractured by his sister Anna, causing him to scream in pain. No one thought that underneath the frail and well-behaved look of my sister Anna, there was a fiery temperament like a female tyrannosaurus...

Naturally, the mother was worried about what had happened, and Ms. Hertinger was also Mrs. María's lover, who was beaten to death by her sister Anna. Now that the Fells are supposed to be protected by the Normanys, there's no way to resolve it.

But soon, Miss Christie came to accuse her and told her mother, sister and brother to get out of the Norman Forest Farm. Sister Anna retorted that the cabin and the surrounding 300-acre forest farm belonged to their own family, so why should they be allowed to leave.

Miss Christie's words at that time were very harsh and harsh, and her sister Anna was unwilling to repeat them in front of Claude. But the general idea was that Miss Christie accused the Field family of stealing the private property of their Norman family. First, Claude deceived Lady Maria's trust and defrauded him of three hundred acres of forestry and cabins. Now he died as a soldier, and he asked Anna to deceive her brother's feelings, hoping to marry into the Norman family and rise to the top. When Hettinger rejected Anna's seduction, he got angry and fought, beating Hettinger seriously. of…

Anna didn't want to recall that night. She had never thought that the obvious facts could be so reversed, right and wrong. The mother was so angry that she fainted again, and the younger brother was so frightened that he cried. The younger sister Anna said that she wanted to give this Miss Christie a magic flying arrow at that time, but she finally endured it when she thought of Lady Maria's love and care for her.

Miss Christie's purpose is to take back the cabin and the three hundred acres of forest farm. She doesn't know why her mother gave these to Claude. In her mind, the Norman Tree Farm was her inheritance. It's very simple. In the future, his brother Hettinger will inherit his father's viscount title, and his mother's hereditary baronet title in Normandy will be passed on to her, and this Normandy forest farm will also be her private property in the future.

So Miss Christie thought she was very merciful and let Anna go. After all, she was also her mother's favorite disciple, so she couldn't push her too much, lest her mother lose face. What she requested was that the Field family return the ownership of the cabin and the 300-acre forest farm, and leave the Norman Forest Farm in exchange for the Norman River family not being held accountable for the injury of their sister Anna to Hettinger.

This is why my mother, sister and brother moved back to the old red brick house.

"After I moved back, I wrote a long letter to Mrs. Maria, telling the whole story. I thanked her for her careful teaching and training. I will always regard her as my teacher, and at the same time, I refused her permission to join my junior high school. After graduation, he went to the royal capital to follow her request. Expressing his confidence to obtain the junior pharmacist qualification certificate on his own... "

When sister Anna said this, it meant that her relationship with Madam Maria as master and apprentice was over. Madam Maria herself couldn't bear to lose face if something like this happened. One was her beloved son, and the other was the female apprentice she admired. But no matter what, the relationship between mother and son is still superior to that of master and apprentice, and sister Anna did this to avoid embarrassing Lady Maria.

But what she didn't know was that Madam Maria gave Claude the cabin and the three hundred acres of forest farm to compensate for the five spells that Claude gave her.

Anna thought for a while and said: "But what's strange to me is that Mrs. Maria didn't respond to my letter. She just sent Butler Lutheran over at the end of the year and sent a gold dollar roll of 1,200 gold crowns. , said it was compensation for the cabin and the 300-acre forest farm. I don’t understand what this means. I can only store the money in the National Bank and not use it, lest they regret it in the future... "

"You can use this money. I taught her five rune spells back then, which are spells that are now banned in the kingdom. She had no money at that time and could only use cabins and forest farms in exchange." Claude said.
