While handing her subordinates a look, Mieko quickly wiped away the tears on her face, trying her best to make her face look the same as usual, and then gritted her teeth and quickly turned back and came to Mao Ozawa.

At this moment, Mieko can be regarded as open-minded, even if she doesn't do it for the position of the big housekeeper, she has to listen to Ozawa Mao's words.

Painfully wiped the blood on Ozawa Mao's face little by little, but Mieko's hands trembled uncontrollably, but the discomfort in her heart couldn't be suppressed, so she could only rely on continuous deep breathing to alleviate this uncomfortable extreme feeling.

"Granny Mieko, there are some things I've wanted to tell you for a long time...... Ahem!"

With two coughs, Mao Ozawa's face, which had just been wiped clean, was once again stained with new blood, and the two eyebrows curved like crescents were tangled together.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you have a good rest for a while, I'm here, I won't leave. Mieko said eagerly, stretched out her hand, and touched Ozawa Mao's hair lovingly, moving softly as if she was placing a rare treasure.

"No!" Mao Ozawa insisted, "I'm afraid that if I don't say it now, I won't have the opportunity to tell Mieko's mother-in-law again." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mieko's emotions, which had barely managed to settle down, suddenly became uncontrollable again, and all her previous efforts were useless.

Immediately afterwards, Mieko, who was still waiting to speak of comfort, saw the middle-aged man next to her and shook her head lightly: "Listen to her finish speaking." ”

Mieko's eyes closed slightly, and then nodded and said, "You say, don't worry, I'm here." ”

As he spoke, he shook Mao Ozawa's hand with both hands, as if to reassure her, and felt that he would feel more at ease by doing so!

"Granny Mieko, thank you!" Mao Ozawa turned her gaze to Mieko and continued, "I didn't have a mother when I was very young, so I've always regarded you as a mother, thank you for making me feel like a mother." ”

"I remember when I was a child, I asked you why you never married, and you said at that time, when I grow up and get married, you can go and find a home. ”

Mao Ozawa sighed and said, "I later learned that you were lying to me, but I hope that after I leave, Mieko's mother-in-law can be happy and don't worry about me!"

"No, how could you leave?" Mieko shook her head in denial, but lowered her head deeply to prevent Mao Ozawa from seeing her expression.

But Mao Ozawa said seriously: "I'm grown up now, Granny Mieko, you can't fool me." ”

Mieko grabbed Ozawa Mao's hand tighter, and her rapid breathing made it interrupt every time she wanted to speak, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

After a while, Mao Ozawa said again: "Do you remember when I asked you when I was a child, what gift did you want the most, and what did you say?"

Hearing this, Mieko hurriedly cleared the distracting thoughts in her mind, desperately recalling what Mao Ozawa said, and finally recalled it after a while......

It was Mao Ozawa's sixth birthday, and after receiving a lot of gifts, she asked Mieko what she wanted the most.

At that time, Mieko shook her head and smiled, then stretched out her hand to the linden tree outside the window, and said, "Do you see that walnut tree?" If you can find two walnuts of the same size and pattern, give them to me as gifts." ”

Mao Ozawa tilted his little head and asked, "What's so good about walnuts?" Besides, where are the two enough to eat?"

When Mieko heard this innocent question, she couldn't help but cry and laugh even more: "Your Royal Highness the princess doesn't know, two identical walnuts are actually very difficult to see, if you can find them and process them, they will become very valuable after more than ten years." ”

"I see!" Mao Ozawa showed an expression of understanding, and then nodded vigorously in agreement: "Okay, I will definitely find two identical walnuts and give them to Mieko's mother-in-law as a gift when the time comes." ”

Mieko smiled and agreed: "Then it's a word!"

……

The thought ended here, but Mieko's heart became even more uncomfortable, an unintentional word at that time, I didn't expect the little princess to be able to remember it until now!

Moreover, after Mao Ozawa said this, many things also came to mind.

For example, after that, there were royal planners who repeatedly proposed to cut down the walnut tree outside Ozawa's window, but each time it was saved.

At that time, I only thought that Mao Ozawa was in a rebellious period, and he liked to work against the people around him whenever he could, not to mention that no one offended Mao Ozawa, the pearl of the royal family, because of a walnut tree, so the walnut tree was kept until now.

But looking back at this moment, Mieko felt that the tip of her nose was a little sour, it turned out that the little princess was actually for her own joke?

As we all know, in the antique world, walnuts with the same size and similar texture are generally a pair, and the better the condition, the longer the years, the more valuable they are, and it is not uncommon to sell them for hundreds of thousands.

However, those are all carefully selected from countless walnuts, and they are not on a tree, and some people who specialize in this way often contract a few orchards at a time, but they can pick out the qualified, and there will never be too many of them that can be put together into a pair, and most of them are about the same size.

What's more, what has the same texture and size, or does it have to be such a harsh condition on a tree?

Thinking of this, Mieko nodded, and said in a dry voice, "Remember!"

"I have found two walnuts of the same size and similar texture according to Mieko's mother-in-law's request, and put them in the cabinet in my room. Mao Ozawa said, with a very smug smile on his face, but the smile fell in Mieko's eyes, but it made her feel extremely tight, and an indescribable feeling came to her heart.

After a while, Mao Ozawa asked weakly, "Mother-in-law Mieko, why are you crying?"

Mieko suddenly came back to her senses, reached out and touched her cheek, only to find that she had unconsciously shed tears, and quickly wiped it off and covered it up: "The wind is strong, and the sand is in my eyes." ”

The conversation between the two is not too loud, but in this deathly silence, it is extraordinarily clear, especially the performance of Mieko and Mao Ozawa, which makes everyone's hearts a little heavy, as if pressing a big stone, and they can't relax.

And Xiao Tian, who witnessed all this, his face was also solemn to the extreme, as soon as Mao Ozawa said the three words of Broken Heart Fruit, he was constantly searching for information about these three words in his mind, but he couldn't recall it until now.

However, judging from the observation during this period of time, as well as Ozawa Mao's reaction, it seems that he has been poisoned by another ......
