Chapter 6 Clichés
Vincent seems to prefer to enjoy the view rather than that. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info "Hey, what kind of place is that?" ”
Roy looked in the direction he was pointing. "It's just a pavilion. What's wrong? ”
"Nothing." Vincent pursed his lips and smiled, "I just think that the terrain is a little higher there, and the view will be better." ”
Indeed, the pavilion was built on a slope and had a view of most of the vineyard. In particular, the pond in the courtyard is sure to be beautiful when the blue water ripples in the clear sunlight.
But Roy couldn't wait to get to the pavilion. She walked to the side of the path, swept the fallen leaves of the stone chair beside the road with her hands, and sat down: "Why is my father so anxious? ”
Vincent raised his eyebrows slightly, as if surprised by Roy's directness.
The valet who had been following them quickly stepped forward and asked Roy, "Miss Roy, as a lady, should you sit on the side of the road that has not been cleaned?" Still asking this kind of nonsensical question, do you want Master Vincent to question your tutor? ”
In addition to serving Roy on a day-to-day basis, her duties also include supervising and guiding Roy's etiquette. Roy said something that didn't matter, and she was the first to be held accountable.
Because of this, she has the right to punish Roy. It can be said that as long as she doesn't get hurt on Roy and Roy's father finds out, she can toss Roy as much as she wants. So young Roy has always been afraid of her.
Roy glanced at the personal maid with a straight face, turned his head and asked Vincent, "Father obviously said that he would keep me for a few more years." Why are you in such a hurry to kick me out all of a sudden? Behind your back, what dirty means did you use? ”
"Miss Roy!"
The valet shouted with some annoyance, peeking at Vincent's face anxiously.
This pair was afraid of upsetting outsiders, so he scolded his real master for what the hell he was.
Roy was not a personal maid, but still sat there dignifiedly, his hands resting lightly on his knees.
"Since Miss Roy wants to sit with me here, please go and get two cushions." Vincent said to the valet, and then Roy saw him throw a look at the valet very quickly, in a flash.
Without the experience accumulated in that purgatory-like past life, Roy would not have noticed it at all.
Immediately after, the personal maid, who was about to say something, glared at Roy fiercely, turned and left the path.
A hint of confusion and a hint of abruptness crossed Roy's mind at the same time. But before she could clear her mind, Vincent had already followed her example, swept away the fallen leaves with her hands, and sat down.
Roy couldn't help but move to the side. The stone chair is cleaned regularly, but it's not dirty, it's just quite cold, and it's a little uncomfortable to leave a place that has just been warmed by body temperature.
"Don't move. The side is cool. Vincent said understandingly, "Don't worry, I'll keep my distance from you until Miss Roy accepts me sincerely." ”
Roy pursed his lips and sat shoulder to shoulder with Vincent.
Vincent sighed: "The elders have long been willing to match you and me, I just need to wait, how can I hurt my future father-in-law?" Is it because of this misunderstanding that you are starting to hate me? ”
It was a good excuse to cover up the real reason for her dislike of Vincent. Roy didn't defend either, and said with a sneer: "Misunderstanding? I didn't misunderstand you. My father is so decent, why did he let me leave Wei Yuan and leave him? It must be you who are playing tricks. You say that he has a hard time, that you are innocent, do you think I will believe it? ”
“……”
Vincent pulled away a little and looked at Roy in surprise. Apparently her deep resentment scared the shameless guy.
Of course it's heavy. Roy deliberately portrayed her resentment towards him as if it was for her father. On the one hand, this can make you look special and sincere, and on the other hand, you are afraid that if you can't hold back, you can have an excuse to paralyze Vincent.
With Roy's mood at this moment wanting to chop Vincent into minced meat, it is impossible for her to hide the knife and the snake in her laughter with Vincent. It's better to be straightforward, she's young anyway, and it's when there's something to say, Vincent won't be suspicious.
Sure enough, Vincent comforted softly: "Believe me, your father is also a last resort. Who allowed him to offend those whom he could not afford to offend? It's a blessing to give him a month to settle you. You can't trouble him anymore, you know? ”
Offended someone?
Okay, then as long as you know who is offended, the goal is clear.
Roy's heart jumped and he raised his voice: "You talk nonsense! My father is the most powerful star thief, my mother is a member of the Yang family, and who else can't be offended by my father! I think that person is you! It's just that you don't want my family to be good! I won't marry you! ”
"Why can't you understand after saying it so many times?" Vincent was finally a little anxious, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a mocking arc, "I don't know who your father offended, in short, the other party's status is not low, it seems that he is also an earl." Your father's and mother's identities are a thing of the past. And it's just an ordinary offense, he killed someone, can other people's relatives let him go? ”
Then he put on that gentle face and said to the stunned Roy: "Now you can only become a member of a high-ranking aristocratic family so that you can not be implicated in this matter." This is your father's greatest wish, you know? ”
…… Did the father kill someone?
No, it is impossible for a father to kill. When he was a star thief, he was proud of having zero casualties and robberies, how could he kill after washing his hands in the golden basin.
Things were trickier than Roy had imagined. After all, everything can be saved, but life cannot. And it was the high-ranking nobles who died. Vincent is also an earl, and just beating him up can cause him a lot of trouble, not to mention that the man is still dead.
So who is the guy who died, why did he die, and how could he have anything to do with his father?
And if she remembered correctly, the person responsible for the murder would have been immediately imprisoned. According to the federal system of joint sitting, not only her father, but she should have been arrested a long time ago. Why did the father wait a month? And why is it a month? What exactly does this relatively precise time mean?
Where is the loophole that allows her to help her father fight back?
A manservant from the Cook family hurried over and whispered a few words to Vincent.
Roy pricked up his ears to listen. But she and Vincent sat side by side, still unable to make out even a single word.
Vincent's face changed. "Miss Roy, you wait here for a while, I'll be out of company, and I'll be back soon." After saying that, he led the manservant and hurriedly disappeared out of Roy's field of vision along the path.
The surroundings were quiet all at once.
The shadows of the trees were lush, and Roy was suddenly very bored, wanting to go back, and wanting to wait for Vincent to come back before he could say something. Otherwise, when she returned to her father, her father would definitely stop her.
As for whether Vincent would come back, she wasn't worried. Vincent had to point to the time when his father was not in sight and quickly convince her to be engaged to him.
In addition, he had to give his mother a little time. Presumably, the old woman should have fully understood that it was not so easy for the former Star Thief King to break his promise to his daughter.
“……”
Roy stiffened suddenly.
Why wasn't Vincent worried that she would go back to her father?
After all, in Vincent's opinion, she should not be willing to stay with him. Then he's gone, and according to common sense, she should go back right away.
Did he think that she had no influence on her father, and without her, his mother still persuaded his father to sign the agreement?
That's not what to do with pulling her out to walk around the courtyard. You can't know that she wants to talk to her and tell her on purpose, right? So whether he wants to marry her or not.
On the boulevard, the shadows of the trees are swaying.
Roy suddenly jumped off the stone chair and ran towards the exit of the path!
Just as she left the stone chair, two men in black rushed out of the bushes, stepped in front of the stone chair in three steps and two steps, and reached out to grab Roy, who had not yet run far.
One of them scratched the air, and the other's hand brushed Roy's back, fingers running through the straps at the back of her dress.
Roy lunged forward.
The strap was a live buckle and was pulled open. The man's fingers had only time to grab the end of the strap and tear it off his clothes. Roy's skirt immediately saggled loosely.
But she ran farther away, getting closer and closer to the exit of the path.
The bushes shook, and two black shadows rushed towards her.
