Years ago, Lydia was still not worried about Charlotte, and the family moved to the Southland, of course, the Duke of Windsor did not miss the news, he prepared a residence early, a small three-story building that was not big and small happened that Lydia brought not many people, and Charlotte moved in just right.

Although the residence was arranged by the duke, Lydia didn't spend a penny on him (don't worry about the small thing that the price is particularly low~), from site selection to moving, Lydia is busy alone, Charlotte can't intervene, and Windsor doesn't want to show up for some reason, Lydia also plans to move for a while and invite Windsor to be a guest in the new house to express her gratitude, but she can only regret giving up due to Windsor's tactful refusal.

Cinderella was disheartened with Rochester and wanted to find her exiled father, but Lydia of course disagreed, not because she didn't want to find Lucas, but because she trusted her husband too much, and with his ability, she could save the day without their help, not to mention the Duke's care, and there were many difficulties and dangers along the way, although Cinderella was not biological and did not want her to die innocently. Without Lydia's human and financial support, Cinderella was still self-aware, so she could only obediently move with Lydia.

Looking at her young and beautiful sister, Charlotte couldn't figure out how such a thing as 'her boyfriend is married, the bride is not me' could happen to her. But all this is true, especially after seeing the fine lines at the corners of Cinderella's eyes, women are easy to get old after being hurt, Charlotte subconsciously touched her face - this - read - novel xstxt, shook her head resolutely, she will never give any man a chance to hurt herself!

"Mother~I want to go to the beach~"

Charlotte always spoiled Lydia anytime and anywhere, the mother had long been accustomed to her daughter's whimsy, took the time to look at her lovingly, the work in her hands never stopped, and Lydia never let the servants do what she made for Charlotte,

"If you want to go, you can go~"

Charlotte turned over and rested her head on Lydia's lap, scratching Lydia's arm, but didn't dare to use force,

"Are you kidding me, or are you serious?"

Cinderella couldn't look at it, turned around and pretended to be serious about stringing.

"Seriously, of course! When did your mother lie to you? You can't go on your own, though. ”

Knowing that her long-dreamed trip to the seaside could come true, Charlotte couldn't help but be excited, and Lydia looked at her daughter's big sparkling eyes with some amusement.

"Of course you won't go by yourself, mother, do you want to come with me?"

"Hehe, I'm not like you, you know how to eat, drink, and play all day long without serious business,"

After counting her daughter for a while, seeing that she pouted for fear that she would be upset, Lydia quickly shut up and began to talk about going to the beach to play,

"It's not like you don't know the situation now, now stay at home and wait for the situation to calm down, let Windsor take you there."

Turn your head and nod Cinderella,

"If you want to go, follow along, walk around and be open-minded by the way."

There was a strange feeling from her mother's mouth, as if he and she were already family, where did this strange feeling come from, after all, she hadn't seen the Duke of Windsor for a long time.

"Why come with him? How comfortable is it for our family to go by ourselves, how can we play when we call outsiders? ”

Lydia put down her work and stared at Charlotte very seriously, Charlotte's eyes couldn't dodge her mother's tracking, and in this moment, Charlotte abandoned her army and dragged her armor. Charlotte looked teachable, and Lydia looked at Cinderella, who left the room in amusement.

Touching Charlotte's soft blonde hair, her daughter has grown up, but she always feels that her daughter is still young and doesn't understand something, and she will never let her suffer if she is there, and now it seems that she has to say that this smart daughter is surprisingly dull in some aspects.

"Did Emily give you a box and a letter?"

Charlotte nodded,

"Have you read the contents of the letter?"

Charlotte nodded again, but her face seemed to climb with red clouds,

"Did Emily say that she must not open the box unless she has to?"

"Uh-huh, what's inside?"

Lydia shouted out the door,

"Emily, come in."

Emily was guarding outside so she quickly opened the door and came in, and Lydia beckoned her to come over,

"Bring the box."

Emily knew the importance of the box, and she made eye contact with Lydia to make sure that Madame really wanted it, and slipped down the hallway into Charlotte's room.

It's a very ordinary box, at least in Charlotte's eyes, it's nothing special, Emily said solemnly when she handed it to her, although she was curious, Charlotte couldn't help but open it, and over time she forgot about the box.

"Keys."

Charlotte reached into her collar and pulled out a thin silver necklace with a slender copper key on the pendant, untied the key and handed it to Lydia.

The box opened, and the small box contained fewer things and looked hollow, and the thin layers of yellowed paper looked very historical, but they did not look like valuables, and Charlotte did not understand why her mother had taken these things to heart.

Seeing the confusion in Charlotte's heart, Lydia handed the box to her, Charlotte didn't know what medicine her mother was selling, but she still took the box with kindness,

"It's so heavy!"

Yes! If there are only a few pieces of antique paper in the box, how can there be such a weight, there must be a mystery in this! Charlotte finally became interested in this box, she opened and closed it several times, turned the box over and over several times, and did not see any mechanism, this box is so exquisitely designed that it seems that the items inside must not be simple.

"Mother, who designed this box?"

Lydia was confident that Charlotte couldn't find the mechanism, so she took the box and took out a few pieces of paper inside.

"These pieces of paper are not ordinary papers,"

As soon as Lydia's words fell, the paper in her hand emitted curling green smoke, she threw the paper back into the box, and a few thin sheets of paper ignited more than an inch of flames, Xia is Lott had never seen a blue flame, she wanted to get close to watch but was pulled out by Lydia, Lydia walked back and opened the window before coming out to explain to Charlotte,

"Toxic."

Charlotte thought that the more beautiful things were, the more poisonous they were, and that didn't seem right, but she herself was beautiful but quite harmless.

Back in the room, the dreamy blue flame was extinguished, the windows were wide open, and a faint blue mist still lingered in the room, and Lydia pinched her nose with one hand, fanning the wind in front of her in front of her in an attempt to lighten the smoky smell.

"Yikes! Gold! ”

Charlotte, whose nose and even facial features have always been very sensitive, saw the box one step ahead of Lydia, and the antique paper inside was only a pile of foam, and the bright gold bars were neatly stacked at the bottom of the box.

Charlotte directly pinched her hand, and Lydia grabbed her hand first,

"Pay attention to the low profile, and you forgot that I said it is poisonous!"

As he spoke, he put on gloves that he didn't know where to take and pinch the foam off the gold bar, and after handling it, he signaled Charlotte to move.

"It's not much gold bars, right!? Isn't it going to be so much trouble? ”

"You can't see for yourself."

Charlotte took out the top gold bar and found that there was still one below, and she wondered how such a small box hid two layers of gold, and turned out the second layer as well.

"It's no different."

After looking through the six gold bars in her hand one by one, Charlotte's bright eyes were full of doubts and looked at Lydia, Lydia was obviously not ready to help her answer, of course, this kind of thing had to be solved by herself.

Charlotte had no choice but to pick up the gold bars and look at them carefully, this time she really saw the clues, put down the one in her hand and hurriedly picked up another one and turned it over to the same place, and after reading all six gold bars, Charlotte understood,

"Is this it?"

Charlotte pointed to an obtuse angle underneath the bar, which seemed to have been artificially rounded, where a small black dot was less noticeable. Lydia nodded approvingly, indicating that Charlotte had found the right point.

"But what are they, six little black dots?"

Lydia pressed on top of the lid of the box, and a layer of shell cocked to reveal a magnifying glass,

"Take a look at this."

Charlotte felt that it was cool to take a magnifying glass to observe carefully, but it was a pity that the onlookers were only Lydia, Charlotte sighed in her heart and continued to observe carefully, and these small black dots under the magnifying glass really revealed the prototype,

"Southland xxxx"

Unconsciously pronounce six words, isn't this place Ariel Castle? Charlotte's eyes widened in surprise, Lydia heard the words very clearly, and took a deep breath,

Sure enough, Lucas's savings for generations were almost given away to someone else! Luckily, it's Windsor! ”

In her mother's story, Charlotte learned that the rumors of the world were true, the Lucas family was not only a rich country, the king confiscated the Lucas family and got those are just a drop in the bucket, the real wealth from generation to generation The secret is hidden in this box, but there was an accident in their generation, the hidden underground wealth of the Lucas family was discovered by the lord of the Southlands, he built Ariel Fort in an attempt to take it for himself, and the lord told his most beloved grandson, the Duke of Windsor, in the form of a will before his death.

Finally, Charlotte asked, after all, this is a huge amount of wealth, I believe that no one can resist its charm, the Duke of Windsor wants to fight against the palace at a time when it costs money, she can't believe that there will be such a high-profile person

"What did he say?"

Lydia smiled and gently stroked her daughter's long seaweed-like hair,

"Windsor wrote to me about this, and I didn't believe it at first, but it seems to be true. Thanks to my wonderful daughter! Haha"

After tossing for so long, Charlotte was drowsy, and Lydia's touch was too comfortable, and before her daughter answered, Lydia looked down, her daughter had already fallen asleep in her mother's arms, and Lydia couldn't help but smile and gently patted her daughter's face as punishment,

"Little conscienceless!"

It's been in vain to toss for so long? I didn't see how much Charlotte was touched!
