Passing through the bustling city center, the horse-drawn carriage began to drive west, and when it exited the city gate, the scenery in front of it suddenly became beautiful.

As far as the eye can see, there are fertile fields as far as the eye can see, and it is now July, and the plump wheat is starting to turn yellow, and it is clear that it will not be long before the harvest will begin.

As she got closer to home, Betty couldn't help but get nervous, not knowing what she would expect from seeing her mother like this.

Will you be scolded, will you be beaten, or will you be turned away at all?

Reynard, sensing her nervousness, gently took her into his arms and said, "Don't be afraid, there's me." ”

Betty's nervousness eased for a moment, and she slowly leaned into her arms, as if it would give her strength.

Immediately after, she suddenly raised her head and said, "You'd better think of a perfect explanation, I don't want my mother to know how we met." ”

Renard was a little curious: "Why?"

Betty pursed her lips, and then told the truth, "Because my mother was also the hostess of the Everina, and my father was a hateful liar, he has not been seen since my mother conceived me. ”

"Damn!" Renard's eyes widened suddenly, and then his heart began to beat a drum, this mother-in-law may not be easy to deal with.

The carriage turned two hills, and the road ahead began to jolt, but it was only a few kilometers away, and when it approached the town of Shining Gold, the road became extremely smooth, and finally a peaceful and peaceful rural town was unfolded

The town of Shining Gold is not large, even smaller than Fort Saint-Brieu, with a population of only three or four hundred, but the people who live here are much more spiritually oriented than the inhabitants of Fort Saint-Brieuh.

The Empire of Constantinople was a centralized state, which meant that there were no untouchable tenants, except for the nobles who were commoners, and the nobles did not have fiefs, of course they had their own fields and estates, but the area was very small.

The empire has a unified law, and there will be no indiscriminate collection of taxes, such as urban cleaning tax, poll tax, and entry tax, so the living standards of the people here are very high.

When Renard and a group of outsiders suddenly visited, they were faced with a kind smile instead of vigilance and vigilance.

"This may be the legendary ideal country!" said Renard with some emotion.

"Compared to the kingdom of Rowling and the kingdom of Arthur...... Yes. Olibal nodded, then added, "But don't think too much about this place, the people here can only make ends meet." ”

"I don't want to admit it, but it's still ten times better than Fort Saint-Brieu. Renard shrugged.

"Stop, there's my home in front of me. Betty's hands shook suddenly, and she looked at a tailor's shop.

Renard looked up and saw that the words Connie's Tailor's Shop were written on it, which was supposed to be Betty's mother's name.

The carriage stopped at the door of the tailor's shop, and everyone got out of the carriage in turn, and Olly Potter tipped two more silver coins, and the groom happily waved his whip away.

At this time, Betty's legs were a little weak, and this wayward little girl was finally about to face punishment.

At the age of fourteen, she secretly signed up for the special training of the Avelina at the instigation of her best friend, and was successfully selected as a crew member to travel around the continent.

Before she could step through the door, a surprised voice came from next to her: "Betty, are you Betty, are you still alive?"

It was an old woman in her seventies who spoke, and because of her surprise, all the wrinkles on her face were stretched, as if she was more than ten years younger.

"Grandma Gwendoline!" Betty smiled, "I'm back." ”

She was a little puzzled as she spoke: "I was chosen by the Evelina to be the crew member and go on a round-the-world trip, didn't Misha tell you?"

"Misha?" the old woman frowned deeply, "No, we all thought you were dead, and your mother suffered for a long time." ”

"How come?" Betty's expression was a little shocked, and she was also a little guilty and puzzled: "Misha invited me to the training, but she wasn't selected. ”

Renard frowned slightly, feeling that things seemed to be a little complicated.

The voice at the door had already attracted the attention of Connie in the tailor's shop, she put away the needle and thread in her hand, got up and came to the door: "What's the matter, you guys are arguing......"

Before she finished her words, her expression instantly froze, and then her body couldn't help but tremble: "Betty?"

Her voice was a little choked, mixed with disbelief.

"Mom!" Betty instantly lost control and threw herself directly into the other party's arms: "Mom, I want to kill your mother." ”

"My Betty!" tears flowed from Connie's eyes.

The mother and daughter cried with joy, which immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

"Betty is back?" "Betty is back, didn't Misha say she's dead?" "Betty is back!" "Why, didn't you say dead?"

There was a suppressed exclamation from the crowd, but at the same time there was joy.

After a long time, the mother and daughter slowly calmed down, and Connie noticed Renard and the others, she was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are these people?"

"It's my friend. Betty touched her tears and introduced: "This is His Royal Highness Olipotter, he is the prince of Rowling's Kingdom, this is Gina, temporarily my servant, that is his younger brother Jimmy." ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Renard, hesitated for a moment, and then said with a little weakness: "This is Mr. Renard, my fiancé." ”

Renard was honored to accept the title, and he took off his hat and gave the most standard gentlemanly salute: "Renard Duncan, I have seen the honorable Lady Connie." ”

Connie's mouth was open enough to fit two eggs at the same time, and she looked at her daughter Betty, and then at Renard, and immediately forgot that Olly Potter was the prince of a certain king.

It took a long time for her to digest the news, and then she said a little overwhelmed: "Then let's go into the house first, let's go into the house." ”

After saying that, she turned around and went into the house first.

Olly Porter was about to step in, but he was pushed back again.

Connie popped up to make sure she wasn't dreaming, and retreated back into the house again.

Four years ago, she thought she had lost her only loved one, but four years later, her daughter came back and brought back a fiancé.

She sat on the chair in a daze, looked at her daughter opposite with a twisted expression, and held back six words for a long time: "How many months has the child been?"

Betty hung her head lower, almost to her chest.

Renard hurriedly answered: "About four months." ”

Connie nodded, her expression a little wooden, she really didn't know whether to cry or laugh now.
