Chapter 103: The Langtons who suddenly appeared

Xiao Ruo finally truly realized the importance of Anthony.

In fact, since she returned to Huaxia, because the affairs of the Langton family have been on the right track, and most of the things she encountered in Huaxia have been solved with the help of the Xiao family and the Yang family, as well as Li Muyun, she has inevitably ignored Anthony.

Now that the big housekeeper is gone, Xiao Ruo found that without Anthony, she has several times more things to worry about at once, and the heavy workload makes her miserable. Originally, Li Muyun planned to help, but after trying for a long time, he retreated, sighing that the butler of the nobles was really not something ordinary people could do.

With no choice, Xiao Ruo could only urgently transfer a few stewards in the present world to share the work of the housekeeper. Fortunately, there are a few deputies under these stewards, and this transfer will not affect the operation of family affairs.

Susan, Owen, and Malcolm, who had been transferred, were surprised by this. In the case that Xiao Ruo was the only one left in the Langton family, the housekeeper Anthony was the number two person in the family, and now this number two person was not by the side of the head of the family, but asked them to come over to help, which really puzzled them.

Xiao Ruo also knew that they had doubts in their hearts, so they could only prevaricate with important matters for Anthony to handle. At this time, she couldn't spread the news, although she knew that the news might not be saved, after all, Anthony was an enemy, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not reveal the matter when he returned.

Although Anthony had promised her before leaving that he would not say it.

She didn't know if she could trust him, and now she had to keep it a secret. She has just become the focus of everyone's attention because of the two things of Kunlun destroying the door and sealing, if such a thing happens again, I don't know what trouble will arise.

But what she didn't expect was that Anthony seemed to have kept his promise, but the brothers in his family were not peaceful people after all, and they came up with a new trick when the seal failed.

But this time, it made Xiao Ruo very difficult. Even the impact of Anthony's departure on her was reduced to a minimum.

Because, there was a new one, to be exact, a new one of the Langton clansmen.

Alice. Langton's eldest brother, Abigail. Langton, with his grandson Cosmo. Langton, on the fourth day after the end of the seal, on the weekend of the penultimate week of the conference, knocked on the door of Xiao Ruo's residence and asked to meet Rachel Langton, the head of the Langton family.

At that time, Xiao Ruo was discussing with Li Muyun, Roy and others about the layout of the city competition. Because the Black/Dao Battle for the Stars would win the final victory and be able to lead his team to participate, Li Muyun felt relieved and pressured at the same time. Because he learned from Xiu that some of the Organ City Greats were more likely to take action than the Yuan God Clan, everyone else needed to take full precautions.

"Alice's big brother? Didn't you say that he had been missing in the secret realm for a long time? Hearing Susan's report, Xiao Ruo didn't react for a while, and his expression was a little dumbfounded. She also heard Alice mention her eldest brother who was a bit of a martial idiot, as if she was seeking a breakthrough, so she tried to break into the innermost layer of the secret realm, but never came back.

Actually, this Abigail. Langton is an illegitimate child, not the Duchess of Langton like Alice, his biological mother is not very good, and seems to be a ji/daughter, so he is not eligible to inherit the Langton family. He was also very knowledgeable, and devoted himself to martial arts, until he disappeared into the secret realm later.

I didn't expect it to appear now, and I have a grandson!

It's not easy.

Will Abigail. Langton's information went through his mind, and then he thought of some of the ancestors who "dragged their families and led their mouths" during the "return" of various families and factions during this time, Xiao Ruo couldn't help but connect this matter with the Yuan Shen Clan.

Unexpectedly, they targeted the Langton family again this time. However, they may not know the status of the Langton family in Xiao Ruo's heart, although she doesn't care about this family business, but this is what Alice left her.

Anyone who tries to get their hands on the Langton family must not let it go!

This is one of Xiao Ruo's resolute implementation policies.

"Bring in two Mr. Langton, Susan. As the head of the family, it is natural to 'welcome' the family members who 'return'. The corners of Xiao Ruo's mouth were raised, as if she was very happy, but it made the people present and her acquaintance shudder.

Uh, how could anyone be so uninteresting? Don't they know how much Xiao Ruo values the Langton family? There was such a stupid trick.

"Yes, miss." Susan was ordered to step back.

Roy knew a little about this Abigail, so he frowned and spoke first: "Rachel, they should not be good at appearing at this time, right?" Is it trying to challenge your position? ”

Xiao Ruo shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal: "Who knows." But I was very interested in Alice's eldest brother, and I had heard her say that the old Langton had a lot of affection for her. ”

Yes, if Abigail doesn't do anything excessive, she won't do anything to him, she will only find trouble with the people behind the scenes. But if he doesn't know how to do it......

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruo's eyes darkened, so he couldn't say that he was going to send him underground and let him confess to Alice!

"What happened back then was not accurate." Eva pouted, "I can guess their purpose with my toes, and nine times out of ten it was the Lanton family's idea." Rachel, I know you and Mrs. Langton have a deep relationship, but these two must have bad intentions, and you can't be soft-hearted! ”

Xiao Ruo smiled: "Of course." Alice and her family, I can tell the difference. No matter who he is, don't even think about fighting the Langton family! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she thought of Anthony, the housekeeper, and sighed in her heart.

Li Muyun sighed helplessly, she looked normal these days, but he knew that this incident had left a big scar in her heart, and it would be irreparable in a short period of time.

The two people surnamed Langton, an old man and a young man, came quickly, and Xiao Ruo had not yet discussed what the result was, and they arrived.

Led the two to Xiao Ruo's study, and Susan stayed in the room under the signal of Xiao Ruo's eyes. As one of the senior stewards elected by herself, Xiao Ruo still believes in her quite a bit. Let her listen here, and ask her opinion later.

Abigail. Langton and Alice don't look alike. Actually, it's more from his grandson Cosmo. Langton's face was visible. Of course, it is not clear whether he is like his grandfather.

Because the face of this old Mr. Langton is already in a completely unrecognizable state. If his face is put in the present world, it will definitely scare many children to cry. On the slightly elongated face, there is hardly any intact skin larger than one square centimeter, comparable to the surface of the moon. The bridge of his nose seemed to have been hit with great force, and it was cut in two at the point slightly below his eyes, which made people worry about his breathing.

There was no sign of the presence of a lip in the place where it turned out to be the mouth, only a slit, and the rest of the part was the same as anywhere on his face, consisting of large and small dark red spots that looked like bloody scabs. A pair of gray-blue eyes could be vaguely seen in the place that originally belonged to the eyes, and Xiao Ruo was looking carefully at this time.

Not quite in contrast to his face, which seemed to have been ravaged/ravaged by 10,000 elephants, was that he was tall and burly, standing there as quiet as an abyss, with the bearing of a grandmaster.

Compare with him, Cosmo next to him. Langton's presence was minimized. In fact, he also has the face of a passerby. Whether it is facial features, face shape or figure, they are all mediocre. Ordinary dark brown curls, normal length, the only thing that bears some resemblance to his grandfather is the color of his eyes. It's just that there is no faint glint in the eyes of Mr. Langton in those gray-blue eyes.

This man is terrible! It's much more terrifying than Abigail!

And...... He's certainly not Cosmo. Langton!

Xiao Ruo greeted the two of them and secretly made a judgment in his heart.

Li Muyun's eyes narrowed as he sat beside her, and his attention was also on the pseudo. Cosmo. Langton.

If what he expected was right, this person must be a member of the Yuanshen clan.

However, the aura on his body was very strange, very different from what he had encountered before and heard from Xiu, and there was an obvious sense of incongruity.

This from Cosmo. Langton's slightly stiff movements could be seen.

Is it a temptation? This person is actually a minion? Or cannon fodder that can't even be perfectly possessed?

Li Muyun and Xiao Ruo glanced at each other, and after exchanging ideas, they saw the same inference in each other's eyes, so they turned their heads separately, and a smile that was not obvious on their lips.

Although they are all their own people here, the matter of the Yuan Shen Clan is very important, and they have not been able to share it with them, so although they have guessed Cosmo's identity, they can't say it right away.

At this time, the two Mr. Langton and Xiao Ruo had already greeted each other, and their address to her was also normal, although there was some less obvious arrogance, but they still called Xiao Ruo "the head of the family" according to the rules.

At this time, Xiao Ruo didn't want to turn his face with them, that person dared to come here so obviously pretending to be someone from the Langton family, it meant that he was not afraid of being discovered by her, and there was an opportunity to communicate with him.

It's better to stabilize it for now.

Alice...... I haven't been home for decades, I can't imagine that now I will see the light of day again, but I will never see you again......" The suspected slit on Old Langton's face opened and closed, his voice was much hoarse than just now, and his gray-blue eyes were stained with a little sadness.

Hearing him talk about Alice, even if he couldn't see whether he was hypocritical or true, Xiao Ruo couldn't help but feel a heartache, but then he controlled his emotions and became more vigilant.

is also a member of the Langton family, Xiao Ruo naturally knows how to fight against or even deceive the Langton family's unique "true induction" ability, so although she has opened the "true induction" to the maximum since these two people came, she will not believe their performance at all.

Abigail looked sad, but no one could tell what the truth was, even Xiao Ruo couldn't tell.

"Master, I have a request, I wonder if I can see Alice again?" It took Abigail a long time to calm down as if he had come out of his grief, and then made a request.

Xiao Ruo raised his eyebrows and refused directly: "The family cemetery and the family forbidden land are not allowed to enter and leave freely except for the head of the family and the heir of the head of the family, Mr. Abigail, please forgive me for not being able to agree to your request." ”

Abigail sighed and whispered, "I transgressed ......"

"Head of ......"

Cosmo finally spoke. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to () subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
