"Do you really think that this hypnotist can get a word out of Melina, or do you want to use this as bait to lure the people behind the curtain to show up?"

Today, Rong Jing wore a cyan cheongsam, on which were hand-painted plum blossoms, the color was extremely gorgeous, as if the flowers and bones bloomed in March in spring, revealing a fragrant fragrance everywhere.

poured the warm green plum wine for Gu Rin, leaned back on the rattan chair, shook the jade bone fan, and leisurely watched the man taste the wine.

The wine was brewed by her own hands, and the number of people who are qualified to drink it is less than five so far.

Although the Rong family has been away from country A for a long time, they have not forgotten the thousand-year-old inheritance, and even this wine-making process has been inherited for thousands of years, but it has been improved with the times, making the wine more mellow and delicious.

Very few people do that now. Cooking wine and making tea seems to be just a nostalgic glow in the silhouette of history.

Gu Rin savored it, praised the good wine, and replied: "The hypnotist can indeed bring out the people behind the scenes, but he can indeed get words from Melina. Both of these things are doable. ”

The corners of Rong Jing's mouth showed a smile of relief, sure enough, this is like the style of the Gu family, whether the other party comes or not, it is destined to be planted in his hands.

"And who do you think will be the person behind the scenes?"

Gu Rin drank a glass of green plum wine and put the empty cup in front of Rong Jing, who filled it for him again.

"Whoever it is, but it must be close to the Vuitton family, maybe Norman Vuitton has seen it, but I don't know how he feels in his heart......"

When Norman Vuitton came out of the palace, it was already dark. There are a few stars on the canopy, which looks a little deserted. Looking up at the sky, there was a sudden strong loneliness. It's as if he's been struggling for most of his life, everything is just nothingness, and what he wants never seems to be that.

"Norman. ”

A voice rang out, and Norman followed the sound to see Caroline standing on the side of the road waving at him.

Norman walked over and looked at her, "Why are you here?"

"Something worried about your body, come and have a look. Get in the car, I'll take you home. Caroline opened the car door as if Norman was still a patient who couldn't take care of himself.

Norman got into the car, finally felt a hint of warmth, and asked Caroline with a smile: "We've known each other for more than twenty years, right?"

"Twenty-five years and three months. We first met in the middle of summer. Caroline turned her head, and the man's silhouette was very stylish, like a sculpture from the ancient Roman period, precipitated for thousands of years, weathered, and strong in color.

Twenty-five years ago, he was high-spirited, handsome and extraordinary, taking away all the brilliance of the world, and twenty-five years later, he precipitated like red wine, more and more mellow, and the taste was drunk, and this drunkenness was a lifetime.

"Why do you suddenly sigh about this?" Caroline looked back at him, like a pure old friend for more than twenty years.

The man laughed: "I just suddenly feel that my life has become more and more blank in the past 20 years." ”

Norman covered his chest and said helplessly: "Others say that I have everything, but I have always been empty here, and sometimes it is so empty that I can't stand it!"

Caroline pursed her lips and didn't answer, but her eyes sank. She remembered that for a long time after she had dehypnotized Norman, Norman had been holding his chest and breathing deeply, as if he would have lost his life if he hadn't done so.

If a person has never had anything precious in his heart, he will never have this feeling, but as long as he has it, and when that treasure is lost, his heart will be empty, and he will no longer be able to live in anything.

"I don't want to go home, please take me to the Manor of Hustan. ”

The Hüstan Manor is quite a distance from the Royal Palace.

Canada is a vast and sparsely populated country, and both the aristocracy and the wealthy like to build their own estates to make wineries and the like, but Hustan Manor is a rose estate.

The 10-kilometer radius is full of roses.

It was planted by Norman Vuitton for his new wife, Rong Lan.

That's right, this manor is where they got married, and they lived here during their newlywed until Rong Lan's child was born.

This was originally a wedding gift from Norman to Rong Lan. When the old-school aristocracy divided the Rong family, and when the Witten family split the Rong family, Norman Vuitton didn't ask for anything but returned to the manor.

This was a mark of love that was admired by the entire European noble circle at that time, but every time Caroline was here, she only felt suffocated, as if the air had been condensed into a paste, and the whole figure fell into the swamp quagmire, and the more she struggled, the deeper she sank.

It's not just her who feels, it's the people who work here.

It is even rumored that Rong Lan's soul has been stuck here. Every rose belongs to her, and no one can take it away. The housekeeper who used to manage the estate tried to distribute the roses around the world, and the agreement was agreed, but the vehicle transporting the roses overturned into the Songgu River for no apparent reason, and the roses spread all over the river.

Someone found out that that day happened to be the third anniversary of Rong Lan's death.

There are also flower farmers who pick the roses of this manor, but all the rose petals fall off before they can be brought out.

Most of these rumors may be coincidental, just because Rong Lan's death was too bizarre, many people deified her.

Caroline hadn't seen Rong Lan when she died, but she just heard the housekeeper here talk about it, and Rong Lan knew that her life was short, so she chose to say goodbye to this world in Xiustan. When she died, almost all the roses in the vicinity withered, and she was like a statue of a god, retaining the most beautiful appearance in front of her, never decaying.

"Just park your car here. ”

It wasn't until Norman's voice sounded that Caroline came to her senses, stopped the car, and watched Norman get out of the car and walk straight into the Rose Promenade.

The Rose Gallery, where they used to hold their weddings. White columns support the vast space, and specially cultivated rose vines weave into the walls and domes. Those who attended that wedding will probably never forget the grand scene of this rose corridor for the rest of their lives, but after the death of Rong Lan, there has never been a single rose here. Now only the withered branches and vines remain, and the eyes are full of coldness, like a decaying castle.

And at the end of this flower gallery is the last place where Rong Lan stays.

Norman walked slowly along, his face expressionless, not even breathing, and Caroline followed him quietly, not daring to say a word.

Suddenly, Norman stopped, as if he realized the presence of another person: "You go back, you don't have to follow me." ”

Caroline paused: "I'll wait for you here." ”

There are several forbidden areas in this rose manor, which even housekeepers are not allowed to enter, including the room where Rong Lan lived before his death.

The Rose Promenade is a little dimly lit, and some of the early spring roses are already starting to bloom, but that doesn't make it any less gloomy.

Caroline rubbed her cold hands together and sat down in the chair next to her.

When she was about to fall asleep, a sudden chill hit, and she shivered violently and woke up. When he looked up, he saw that Norman had come out, with a layer of ice slag on his eyebrows and eyelashes, and his body was as cold as ice.

"How did you make yourself like this?" Caroline was startled, and quickly put her shawl on Norman.

Norman waved his hand calmly: "No, I'm not cold, go back." ”

Back in the car, the small space made the cold on Norman's body more clear, Caroline was shivering from the cold, but the man's face remained calm all the time, but unlike the gloomy and empty eyes seen outside the palace, the man seemed to have returned to his normal appearance at this moment.

Turning the air conditioner up to the maximum, Caroline asked, "Is it better now?"

The man nodded noncommittally, but his eyes kept looking out the window. Caroline glanced at the corridor of roses, which had slowly disappeared into the darkness and could barely be recognized, and a chill lingered in her heart. She always felt that there was a secret hidden there, but she didn't have the courage to find out for herself.

"Norman, you have a wife and a daughter, and you can think about them more when your heart is empty. ”

As Norman's personal doctor, Caroline couldn't resist persuasion in the end.

"I know. ”

Norman's face was unmoved.

Caroline sighed silently and continued: "You haven't touched Melina all these years, and she is also very aggrieved. She was innocent from beginning to end. ”

"Melina told you?"

Caroline acquiesced, and she also knew that no matter how good the relationship was, the affairs between husband and wife were not something she should put in her mind.

Norman didn't hide it, but said, "Since that incident, I've been in poor health, you know that." Over the years, I asked her to remarry, but she still refused, which is indeed my sorry for her. ”

After Norman lifted the hypnotism back then, people were very abnormal, everyone thought it was a normal phenomenon, and it would be fine after a period of conditioning, who knows, Norman has not been able to do it for more than ten years, and no woman can touch it. Caroline even considered whether she had planted his feelings for Rong Lan too deeply when she hypnotized him, and even if she lifted it, she couldn't completely eliminate it, even if Norman really hated Rong Lan for a while.

Even during that time, Norman's behavior was almost crazy, and it wasn't until after Rong Lan's death that his madness completely stopped, as if all illnesses had disappeared with Rong Lan's death, but this didn't make him really completely better.

"Norman, to be honest, have you been blaming me about Rong Lan?"

"If I really blame you, can you still stay in Canada?" the man replied calmly, but Caroline only felt a chill on her body, but she forced a smile on her face, "That's good." Then don't blame Melina. She has suffered too many grievances over the years, even if it is true that she can't help but be angry with Chu Han this time, I hope you don't blame her. ”

The man's face was indifferent, as if Caroline's words would not change his mind and influence his decision.

"Caroline, did you know that Melina came to see Rong Lan before she died? ”

Caroline was taken aback.

Norman was always calm: "I drugged Rong Lan, it just made her drowsy and not sick, but after Melina saw her, Rong Lan's physical condition declined rapidly, just like Chu Nan's performance this time." You're going to say she's innocent, and now I don't think I agree. ”

"What you say is true?"

Norman said: "I just want to know the truth now, maybe the hypnotist of the Gu family can help me find the answer I want." ”

Caroline stepped on the brakes to the end, and said hurriedly: "Norman, you can't let others take the initiative, if you let the hypnotist of the Gu family intervene, then what they say is what it is." You want to know the truth, I can help you! I'll hypnotize too, won't I?"

Norman looked at her quietly and said, "Gu Rin is the commander of an army, and he is not enough to calculate such a thing, don't worry." ”
