"In that case, there is nothing to do with me as an old woman here. I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first."
Just when Dick was eager to try the chamber pot, the old lady who had been sitting silently, Benjamin's grandmother, suddenly spoke.
Benjamin was a little surprised, and everyone else's attention was suddenly diverted.
"Old madam, just rest when you are tired. It's all trivial matters. No one will blame you even if you don't want to come."
Before Claude could speak, Ax Foer immediately said this.
"I'm so old, I have to be there when something happens, otherwise, someone will think that I'm not here. Don't you think so?" The old lady replied, with a nonchalant tone, as if Ironic, like just a yawn.
Aix shook his head quickly and said: "The old lady was joking..."
Benjamin stood aside and listened silently to the conversation of these people. As soon as the old lady spoke, the conflict between him and Dick was immediately put aside. It seems that his eccentric grandmother's status is not low.
However, Benjamin had a vague hunch: If it suddenly jumped out at this time, the old lady might not really want to rest. Otherwise, why would she bother to talk so much
Making trouble
Start it quickly, make it as big as possible, and give him a little more time to think about how to get through this.
"I'll let Anna serve you to rest."
Claude also stood up and said this to the old lady, then turned around and began to signal the servants outside the door with his eyes.
"No, do you think I'm too old to be useless? I can walk by myself." The old lady waved her hand, stood up with the crutch in her hand.
"But..." Claude hesitated.
"But what? Mary didn't say anything, so why are you anxious here? Mary, do you think so?" The old lady interrupted him impatiently, turned to face Benjamin's mother beside Claude said.
Marie, Benjamin's mother and Claude's wife, was obviously a little surprised at this moment. She probably didn't expect that the old lady would suddenly turn the conversation to her. She opened her eyes wide and covered her half-open mouth with her hands.
After hesitating for a moment, Mary replied: "It depends on your wishes, mother. I have no objection."
Hearing this, the old lady snorted moderately, but no emotion could be heard.
Benjamin complained in his mind. It turned out that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were fighting each other, and they looked like they couldn't get over it. It didn't seem to be of much help to me, and it couldn't even delay much time. As soon as the old lady left, the Foer family would immediately turn their chamber pots on themselves.
I don’t have time to watch a show. This kind of drama is being performed every day on various major TV stations, and there’s nothing interesting to watch.
It’s better to think about what to do quickly!
If Dick really wanted to smash his chamber pot, could he stand up and object? Claude wouldn't really drive him out of the Reese family, would he
But... what if you are really kicked out
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
If he really wanted to be kicked out, he would have no choice but to defect to the church. The church would use him to catch Michelle, so it would definitely not treat him badly. But to learn magic under the nose of the church, it would be like entering hell difficulty right after the tutorial - this game is anti-human.
If you live on the streets... it will be even worse. However, the church probably will not allow him to wander on the streets, but will instead control him. To a certain extent, staying in the Riise family is the best choice for you to maintain your freedom of movement.
Head hurts…
Just as Benjamin was planning a way out, the old lady who was about to leave suddenly made a very strange move: She seemed to be a little weak in strength, her crutches slipped, and she suddenly threw it to the side.
The swing didn't matter, but the crutch was thrown to where Dick was standing, holding a chamber pot.
Before anyone could react, the cane hit Dick hard on the heel. Dick's legs weakened and he fell backwards, falling heavily to the ground.
The chamber pot in his hand was thrown out of his hand when he fell, flying high in the air, drawing a beautiful parabola. Then, it accurately hit Dick's face as he fell to the ground.
There was a loud bang!
Dark hair splashed everywhere, like a huge flower, blooming from his face in the form of an abstract painting.
Everyone gasped, took a few steps back, and stayed away from the confused Dick like the plague.
And Dick also fell to the ground with a look of shock. He stretched out his hand, touched his face, and then slowly moved his trembling hand to his eyes. Looking at the brown object stained on his hands, his whole face couldn't help but tremble, and a deep despair filled the depths of his pupils.
"ah!"
With a heart-breaking scream, Dick fainted again and fell into a puddle of shit.
Because a series of events happened extremely quickly, everyone had no time to react other than hiding far away to prevent dirty things from splashing on themselves.
And the instigator of the whole incident, Benjamin's grandmother, reacted quickly and hid by the door of the living room before the chamber pot had even landed, covering her chest in panic, looking innocent and frightened.
There was silence in the living room.
Benjamin came back to his senses and was even more shocked when he saw the old lady hiding by the door with her eyes wide open and an innocent look on her face.
These days, not only young people, but also elderly grandmothers want to make big news!
Looking at the stunned and stunned people around him, Benjamin learned his lesson this time. Before someone speaks to break the silence, he will remain invisible and completely transparent, and will never speak again.
No matter what, this is the second time he has faced this kind of scene. In other words, he has work experience.
However, everyone present seemed to have more work experience than the last.
Everyone was immersed in unbelievable shock. Looking at Dick in the puddle of shit, no one made any sound, and no one's expression changed at all. Everyone was immersed in the intoxicating "shock", and despite the stench spreading, no one seemed to have the tendency to cover their noses.
It was as if someone had frozen time, and only the crows outside the window were startled, making a somewhat tragic sound.
The whole scene seemed to suddenly become a competition of endurance, and Dick's scream became the phrase "We are all wooden people, we are not allowed to speak or move."
Benjamin felt a little confused.
What are these people doing
"We are all nobles and have more experience than you." The system complained silently in his mind. "Of course, it is also possible that people in this world are very slow to react. No matter what happens, it takes a long time to react."
“…”
Benjamin was speechless.
In this weird "shocked" silence, I don't know how long it took, but finally, a strange sound ended it all. Benjamin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was his stomach growling.
In such an environment, this "goo" sounds particularly clear and penetrating.
… He’s hungry.
All eyes were focused on Benjamin again.
Benjamin regretted it. Only then did he realize that he had never eaten anything since he traveled to this world. Anyway, he didn't eat when he was awake. As for whether others fed him during the three days and three nights when he was unconscious, he didn't know.
And the breakfast that he was supposed to eat was also ruined by his grandmother. Therefore, he was actually very, very hungry, but too many things piled up, making him forget about it all at once.
Until now, the hunger has accumulated to a certain level, and suddenly, the time bomb exploded.
He once again became the center of attention.
Just when he was screaming in his heart that it was bad, the old lady suddenly seemed to have come back to her senses and spoke:
"Ah, this... I'm really sorry. The crutch may have been slippery after being used for too long. I accidentally didn't hold it and hurt the child. Count Foer, you won't be angry."
The old lady's words were like a spell that lifted the spell, and everyone had a look of recovery on their faces, as if they had really just recovered from the shock. They looked at each other, exchanging "shocked" disbelief, and there was no flaw in anyone's expression.
"This..." Ax Foer was looking at his son who fell on the ground. The fat on his face was shaking, and he still looked astonished and didn't know what to say.
"Mother, are you okay?" Claude asked the old lady.
At his signal, several servants came in and wanted to help the old lady.
"No need, I'm an old man, what can happen?" The old lady waved her hand and refused.
Aix glanced at Dick on the ground again, his expression gradually becoming ugly. Behind him, several people whom Benjamin did not recognize and who were probably members of the Foer family exchanged glances, and their expressions gradually became a little embarrassed.
One of them patted Aix on the shoulder and whispered something to him.
Ax's eyebrows furrowed deeply. He glanced at the old lady who seemed to be in shock again, hesitated for a while, and then said:
"Old madam, you are making things difficult for us."
Hearing this, the old lady held up her hair and said seriously: "Don't worry, I am already so old, why would I embarrass you? I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to today's matter. Doesn't your child advocate fairness? ? Well, let’s prepare another thing like this and let this kid hit me once, so that we are even, and we don’t have to go to the bishop and let other nobles laugh at our two families. Do you think so?”
As soon as these words came out, before Ax could even react, Claude was already shocked.
"Mother?"
"This is my matter. I'll handle it. Don't worry about it." The old lady waved her hand and pushed Claude back. As she said that, she looked at Aix again and asked seriously, "I'll handle it this way. Do you have any comments?"
Aix was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became confused. Apparently he didn't quite understand the old lady's proposal:
"This...how can we do such a thing to the old lady? Old lady, please stop joking."
But the old lady spoke with righteousness: "How is this possible? Doesn't your child want revenge? For the glory of the nobles, naturally, the words said must not be ignored. Benjamin accidentally injured this child earlier. If this is the case, I accidentally injured him. The same is naturally true for this child. Come on, just hit me with that thing. In order to gain your forgiveness, I will never regret it."
The old lady's solemn tone startled Aix. He also felt that something was wrong, but due to the sudden and inexplicable sense of oppression on the old lady, he had no time to think and could only answer subconsciously:
"No, how could we possibly do such a thing? You made an unintentional mistake, and we forgive you."
Hearing this, the old lady showed a surprised expression on her face. She glanced at the unconscious Dick, raised her eyebrows intriguingly, and rolled her eyes. Suddenly, she looked at Aix again and said:
"The Earl's generosity is really admirable. Then, on behalf of myself and my grandson Benjamin, I would like to thank you for your generous forgiveness." After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to react, she turned to look at the servants at the door. , ordered, "Okay, the matter is finally over. The guests of the Foer family are also leaving, why don't you send them off quickly."
After giving these instructions, she immediately turned back, her movements so agile that she hardly looked like an old man who was nearly seventy years old. Before Aix could object, she continued to speak to the Foer family, using an "amiable" aura to block back what Aix had just said:
"I also want to keep you as a guest for a longer period of time, but the count is so busy. Today's matter has been resolved so satisfactorily, your grievances have been resolved, and everyone is very happy, so I won't keep you here."
At this point, she paused briefly, and then a kind smile appeared on her wrinkled face:
"Count Aix, be careful on the road and wish you a happy life."
Count Aix was confused.
