Charlotte and Emily couldn't find a tree hole to hide, so they had to sleep in the woods by the roadside, and before dawn, the gray-white moisture dropped rapidly, and the ground was covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

"Emily! Wake up, come and see! ”

Shaking Emily awake from her dreams, Charlotte desperately wants to let people know that she has discovered something new.

"What? Isn't it hoarfrost? Miss, you usually wake up too late, and early risers are often seen,"

White frost doesn't like to stay in the palm of your hand, it melts quickly,

"Emily, where is it in a hurry, why not wait for someone who hasn't gotten up yet?"

"Maybe I'm in a hurry to get home."

Charlotte, who was still asking innocent questions just now, suddenly became dull, and Emily hugged Charlotte distressedly and coaxed,

"Miss, my uncle's house is the same, it will be good to you for your mother's sake, let's hurry home, okay?"

Charlotte had no impression of this uncle at all, and if Emily hadn't followed, she would have been homeless and would have been reduced to living on the streets! Charlotte happily embraced Emily.

When it was dawn, Emily picked up Lydia on her back, and the two of them were on their way today.

"Miss, Madame is so seriously injured, I'm +1+Ben~Read+Novel+ybdu, it's better to hire a carriage in the town in front, and it will be there in three days."

Charlotte was a little embarrassed when she heard this, how could she hire a car without money.

"Emily, how do we make money?"

Emily smiled mysteriously,

"Miss doesn't have to worry about money, Emily has a way."

Charlotte pesters Emily along the way to ask her how she makes money, but Emily always laughs and refuses to say. When the sun was setting, they arrived at a post house, where the lights were lit up early, and there were not many pedestrians, Emily and Charlotte decided to rest for the night at the back door of the inn, a place with stone steps, Emily put Lydia on a woolen blanket, and lay down to sleep with Charlotte in her arms.

"Miss, rest early, tomorrow you have to walk half a day to get to town."

"Emily, I can't sleep, tell me something interesting."

Emily told a story about Thumbelina, and when she heard Charlotte's even breathing to confirm that she was asleep, Emily cautiously got up and crept away for more than ten meters before running quickly to the door of the inn. The middle-aged man guarding the door seemed to know her, and after saying hello, he didn't care what Emily was doing.

Charlotte, who pretended to be asleep, secretly followed Emily and saw her standing at the door of the inn looking left and right, who was she waiting for? Emily shivered in the cold wind, and Charlotte became less and less able to understand what she was doing.

The sound of Dada's horses' hooves was heard far through the silent mountain forest, and after a while she saw the little orange lamp on the carriage, and Emily saw it, and she paced back and forth excitedly, her neck stretched out to stare at the slowly approaching carriage.

The carriage finally stopped at the door of the inn, Emily took the first step to kneel under the door, a pair of red pointed heel boots stepped on, Emily's barren back trembled, and when the last person in the carriage came down, the coachman took out three copper coins from his pocket and threw them to Emily, one copper coin fell mischievously in the grass, Emily hurriedly bent down to find it.

"Ahh

With a terrifying scream, the coachman's harshness made Emily's heart startle, and when she looked up, Charlotte was really standing not far away, her face was full of tears, the two looked at each other, and Emily saw Charlotte's growth.

The wind gusted outside the old inn, and the red-eyed and black-robed female ghost stared straight ahead, and the older lady ordered the coachman to drive Charlotte away, and they panicked back. The coachman did not dare to disobey the master's order, so he approached Charlotte hard, and when he got closer, he found that this person was not a ghost, she would cry! It's scary to look so ugly! The coachman was full of evil fire and courage, and he carried the wooden stick he had just caught in the panic, and struck Charlotte with his head and face.

Seeing Charlotte's loss, Emily left all her complicated feelings behind her, and she dragged Charlotte into the dark woods, where they secretly observed that the group had died down before they dared to sneak back to the back door.

Emily wanted to check Charlotte's stick wounds, but Charlotte refused, she came behind Emily and patted gently, Emily's eyes moistened, she knew that the young lady was helping her to pat off the ashes.

Neither of them slept well in the pain and emotion of the night, and they got up before dawn and hurried, and when they arrived in the town, they hired an ordinary carriage, and the speed of the two was several times faster, but in three days they arrived at Charlotte's uncle's house.

The old lady is Lydia's biological mother, and when she saw her daughter hurt so badly and listened to Emily's statement, she couldn't help but hug Lydia and cry over and over again, sighing at her daughter's misery. Charlotte's aunt and uncle had arranged for them to live impatiently and disappeared, except for the old lady who occasionally came to see how Lydia was recovering.

After coming more, the old lady found out that the girl wearing the veil was blind, and the girl had to guard Lydia every inch of her life because of the inconvenience of life, which made the old lady's heart soft and messy. Charlotte, who sat quietly beside Lydia's bed, looked quiet and gentle, the more the old lady looked at it, the more she liked it, but she couldn't see what the face under the veil would look like, she was very ugly, otherwise she didn't even have the courage to show her true face, the poor child was not only blind but also ugly, the old lady shook her head regretfully, she looked at and sighed Charlotte couldn't see it and wouldn't understand, Emily, who stayed on the side, couldn't help but think, this is blood, and the grandparents and grandchildren who can't even see each other can also have a good feeling.

Life stabilized, Lydia's condition gradually improved, and one of her awakenings made Charlotte and Emily ecstatic, although Lydia only stayed for a few minutes before falling asleep again, it was already a great confidence and praise for Charlotte. From then on, Charlotte did not dare to leave her mother for half a step, afraid that her mother would not be able to see her when she woke up, and Emily took care of her more meticulously.

The first snow in the north opened the winter, and Emily got up at five o'clock today as usual, she had to go to fetch the medicine first, boil the medicine, and then go to work in the kitchen, and the task of serving Lydia to drink the medicine was snatched up by Charlotte. The snow fell all night, the faint light of the sky was dazzling by the continuous white snow, Emily walked all the way to the pharmacy with her eyes closed, there was no one in the pharmacy, Emily skillfully pulled out a brick on the outer wall of the pharmacy, the pharmacy people were too lazy to put the medicine here, took out a paper bag, Emily weighed the weight, frowned, it has been three days, I originally thought it was a mistake by the pharmacy, it seems that things are not so simple!

Charlotte had just finished washing up, and was sitting on the edge of Lydia's bed wiping her face with warm water, Emily felt warm when she saw such a warm scene, and the unpleasantness just now was temporarily gone, her young lady was really filial.

"Miss, Madame's medicine is ready, I'll feed it today."

Charlotte looked at the medicine bowl and asked Emily,

"Why is there still so little today?"

Emily suddenly became sad, but she didn't want Charlotte to worry about it, so she explained,

"It's suddenly cold in the past few days, and the people in the pharmacy may not be able to measure their hands accurately, so I'll go to him today to talk about it."

Charlotte didn't believe this statement, after all, her uncle's family was also a famous local family, how could she use such an unreliable doctor, but Emily said so, she couldn't raise the bar, so she said,

"Let's send people under the fence, we know that they look down on them, but don't be afraid of them, it's a big deal to tell your grandmother and let your grandmother clean them up!"

"Oops! Miss, keep your voice down, don't let people know who you are! ”

Charlotte's words made Emily feel a lot more comfortable, it is true that the old lady's love for the young lady is obvious to all, and the lady is the only daughter of the old lady, isn't this very clear to anyone.

In the afternoon, the people in the pharmacy are generally there, Emily found the doctor who dispensed medicine for her, and after explaining her intentions, what Emily didn't expect was that the doctor yelled as if she had been greatly insulted, Emily was stunned in place, the doctor was very civilized at first, and in the end he had begun to scold, and the pharmacy gathered a circle to watch the lively idlers, Emily couldn't help but be embarrassed no matter how thick her skin was, and the doctor was still scolding reluctantly, Emily couldn't help but choke a few words, and the doctor actually slapped her, The people who watched the excitement dispersed when they saw that the situation was not good, and a woman who usually talked to Emily couldn't see it, so she went up and pulled Emily by the hand.

"Emily, let's go, don't pout! This doctor was Charles's younger brother. ”

Charles? The big butler at Uncle Charlotte's side? It seems that Lydia's medicine is still related to him, Emily figured it out, no longer obsessed with reasoning with the doctor, she wanted to leave but the doctor wouldn't let go, the woman who pulled her looked at the doctor in fear, left Emily and left alone.

As soon as the person is gone, the doctor will stop talking nonsense anymore and say directly,

"Emily, I was forced just now, please forgive me!"

Emily was ready for a fierce battle, but she didn't expect the enemy to surrender first!

"Emily, my brother has done a lot of evil things by his master's side, and I have persuaded him to leave here and return to my hometown with me, but my brother said that he owes his master a great favor and has not repaid it, and he has to do things for his master if he can't leave, so,"

Speaking of which, Emily is completely clear about the whole story, it turns out that the instigator behind it is the owner of this house, Emily is angry, Madame's own brother is actually such a wolf-hearted dog!

"Follow your black-hearted master to do evil and try to be forgiven? You tell Charles, if tomorrow's medicine is still not enough, I can't control my mouth and don't talk nonsense, don't blame me, who let him have a good brother. ”

Emily is angry, she doesn't want to forgive anyone, to hell with tolerance and generosity! She is a cautious woman, and if she bullies her lady and miss, she will meet her revenge.

The only trendy house in the quaint courtyard is the uncle's family, who may think that such a house can show the owner's transcendent status, but unfortunately it is only a little more eye-catching, and it looks ridiculous in an incongruous environment.

Charles disagreed with the master's approach very much, and yesterday he listened to his brother's words and was even more opposed to the master's plan to drive away Miss Lydia, but as a servant, he could not criticize directly, so he picked an opportunity for the master to be happy Charles spoke tactfully,

"Sir, the old lady went to see Miss Lydia tonight, and the relationship between their mother and daughter is so good!"

The uncle became unhappy when he heard Lydia's name, and his face was dark.

"Yes, my mother has always favored my sister, I don't know what good a girl is, she has been away for so long, and she has taken away her mother's attention as soon as she comes home."

Not only are you afraid of taking away your mother's attention, but you are also worried about taking away your mother's inheritance! Charles only dared to murmur these words in his heart, and if he said them, this hypocrite would be annoyed and angry.

"To be honest, Miss Lydia's body won't live long even if it is better, so don't stop taking the medicine, if it is known to outsiders, the face of our Mattia Ting family will not look good."

Charles said it sincerely, it seemed that everything was thinking about the master and the family, and his uncle wrung his eyebrows, and he was so disgusted with Lydia that he felt uncomfortable at the thought that she might stand majestically in front of him.

"This won't change, Lydia will never be Mattiadin's master."

The master's stupidity gave Charles a headache, and he knew that Lydia was just an outsider, why did she go to great lengths to get people away?! Trying so hard to blacken yourself is because you're afraid that your reputation isn't stinky enough?!

For a few days, Lydia's medicine was not only insufficient, but became less and less, and she was almost out of medicine, and the old lady did not come to see Lydia for several days for various reasons, it must be her uncle's trick! Charlotte and they couldn't sit still anymore, and when it was dark and no one was gone, Charlotte followed Emily into her uncle's restaurant, and when she got to a place where there was no one Charlotte began to pretend to be blind again, Emily pulled her towards the old lady, and the servants who stopped her just now didn't dare to come in and could only let them go, and the uncle glared at Charles viciously, and Charles turned his head weakly, yes, Emily, they were able to walk in front of the old lady because of his credit.

Emily cried a few steps away from the old lady, Charlotte beside her was startled, and she reacted and wiped her tears silently, seeing that the old lady was very distressed, she got up and hugged Charlotte, and comforted softly,

"Who's angry? Grandma cleaned him up for you! Don't cry just yet. ”

Saying that, he also took the handkerchief handed by the maid and wiped the corners of Charlotte's eyes, Charlotte has not enjoyed the pampering of her relatives for a long time, although they have not yet recognized each other, although Emily also cares about her, but the blood relationship is so peculiar, grandmother's care is different from others, Charlotte's heart is sour, and tears are more happy.

Emily howled for a while, there was an old lady, and her aunt and uncle didn't dare to make a big noise, Emily took a break and said,

"We're here to ask Miss's own brother,"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the man, he changed his sitting position uncomfortably, and the old lady looked at her son suspiciously, what did he do to make people so angry that he came here to complain?

"Miss is so badly injured, have you come to see it once? She is your own sister, the old lady is old and unwell, she still works from 9 to 5 in the wind and snow, and never forgets to visit the young lady, even if you don't feel sorry for the young lady, you should think about the lady! ”

It's useless to even give honorifics, Emily doesn't give the male owner any face, she didn't mention the matter of deducting the medicine to make Charles surprised, and after thinking about it, she had to give a thumbs up and praise the two maids, playing the family card to awaken the old lady's maternal love, and suing the master is still impossible to refute, it's really smart!

The old lady was really dissatisfied with her son, and her eyes were seven or eight degrees cold.

"Don't be in the eyes of money in the future, you also care about Lydia's affairs, don't wait for me to die, you will drive my baby daughter out when you get the property."

People are old and fine, of course the old lady sees her son's weakness, guessing that the two maids must have done a good thing for her son to cry, she doesn't want to think about it further, but this matter can't be ignored,

"Second child, Lydia's recovery will be handed over to you in the future, if she has any problems, don't blame her mother's partiality, I can only find someone else to serve us two wastes for a lifetime! People's hearts are biased, don't you say? ”

The old lady's words were simply unexpected, I didn't expect the usually indifferent old lady to be so powerful at a critical time, the faces of several people present wanted to flip the color palette, Charlotte and Emily were secretly surprised, Charles tried not to smile, and his aunt could write with a dark face.

Uncle felt sad, since he was a child, his mother has favored his sister unabashedly, obviously he is the little one, he is the pillar of the family, my sister has been away for so long, I thought that the old lady would be a little biased towards herself, but I didn't expect that there is still no change, he is not a child anymore, how to blame his mother's partiality? Uncle thought bitterly.

I was sad and had to pretend to be obedient on the surface, and my uncle helped the old lady with a smile.

"Mother! Don't say such things, and don't curse yourself when you're angry with me! Alas! It's all my fault! Wasn't I busy building the manor in Moose Town some time ago, but now I probably don't have anything important, I must take good care of my sister! ”

My aunt helped her husband play a round game,

"Yes, my husband is so tired that he falls asleep when he comes back, just so that his mother can move into the new manor before Christmas."

As he spoke, he wiped away his non-existent tears.

"Knowing that you are filial, I can rest assured that Lydia will be handed over to you, you have never disappointed your mother, you are a good boy, your mother was too strict just now, and it was for your good."

Charlotte couldn't see it and knew that the old lady was happy, in fact, the grandmother was not partial at all, but she was more demanding of her son.

Who can compare to his master in disguise? Expecting that there would be a storm in the study for a while, Charles Mao recommended himself to send Charlotte and the two back, and when the master was angry tomorrow, he still had to rely on himself, after all, he had mastered so much of the master's black history, Charles sneered in his heart.
