Arrived at the new manor, Charlotte and they saw a group of uninvited guests as soon as they got off the carriage, Ed was very reluctant to see his two sons here, so he had no choice but to call them over, after seeing Ed, the two looked at Lydia intentionally or unintentionally, Lydia simply walked over and took the initiative to greet them,

"You two are Ed's sons."

"Yes, you are Lady Lydia, it's a pleasure to meet you, and our brothers will take care of you in the future!"

Just take care of your perverted old man, Charlotte is not interested in the Ed brothers' self-acquaintance.

"Thank you, but I'm still young and don't need it, please take care of the elderly."

Turns out Lydia thinks I'm an old man! Regardless of Eddard's darkened face, Lydia said to herself,

"By the way, since you're here, come with us."

Ed didn't get his sons to say yes, and interjected,

"No, let them get down to business, I'll be with you."

The eldest son hurriedly said,

"We do have something else to do, trouble Lady Lydia."

Something happened and came over, aren't these two brothers sick in the brain? Ed wished that all the obsessive creatures were cleared, and Lydia couldn't force them to stay, so she had to let them do whatever she wanted.

After the two brothers left, Ed helped Lydia clean up her room and went back to her room to rest.

―一―本―Read―Novel{y}{b}{d}{u}"Mother, do you think these two brothers are strange? Since they are busy with affairs, shouldn't they send someone to forget it, wouldn't this be a bit of a show? ”

"It's a little strange, alas, they're all gone anyway, don't think too much, have fun here for two days, you've been depressed for too long."

Lydia touched the top of her daughter's hair distressedly, during this time her daughter has been working hard to take care of herself, I heard Emily say that her daughter has been a washerwoman in Edward's house for more than a year, how much the poor child has suffered, and now that she is better, she will never allow her daughter to suffer a little more!

Charlotte smiled slyly, leaned into her mother's ear and whispered, Lydia, who didn't know what she said to make amusement, raised her eyebrows and smiled, scratching Charlotte's little nose, Lydia smiled,

"Don't go overboard, take a good measure, you know?"

"Oh, mother, don't worry! It can't hurt him. I'm just scaring him and warning him not to hit your mind. Besides, if he sits upright, he will not fall into my trap, and if he falls into my trap, he can only blame himself for his bad intentions. ”

In the few days of the new manor, Ed led Lydia around, during which he was very attentive, dressed Lydia when he was on a boat trip to the lake, found someone to carry Lydia when he climbed the bell tower, picked roses for beauty when he visited the garden, and carefully plucked the thorns on the rose stalks, all kinds of behaviors moved outsiders, envious of Lydia's good luck, Charlotte was anxious, this old man was obviously a master of love, and if she went on like this, her mother was really fooled by him and it was over!

He was going to leave the manor the day after tomorrow, although Ed was in the limelight during the day, he was very quiet at night, and he never visited his mother, which made Charlotte relieved in addition to the accident, and he also needed to cooperate with people to arrange and scare him, and he didn't come to save himself much trouble.

Ed thinks that after a few days of getting along Lydia should almost accept herself, tonight it is a full moon, he plans to reunite with Lydia to the full moon, the specially modified appearance looks more energetic, but the age is there, it still makes people dare not compliment, under the service of the servant put on a tuxedo, Ed came to the garden where Lydia lived, and told the servants who followed to wait outside, Ed went in without knocking on the door.

In the room, Charlotte was playing jokes with her mother, and a servant burst in in a panic.

"Ma'am, Ed is coming in!"

Charlotte Huo Ran got up, and the old man really still had her mother's idea! Look at how I teach him today.

"Mother, you pretend to be asleep, don't wake up if there is any movement, let me put on a horror show for this old man."

Lydia was not at ease, and repeatedly told Charlotte to pay attention to the scale, and Charlotte comforted her mother and led the servant to put on makeup.

The closer he got to Lydia's room, Ed's excitement became more and more uncontrollable, suppressing his excited convulsive face, Ed walked up to the corridor leading to the beauty's room, there were many rooms on both sides of the dark corridor, the wall lamp next to the door at the end made people think about it, a gray figure flashed into Lydia's room, Ed rubbed his eyes, someone did enter before him.

A kind of anger that his things were robbed rushed to his head, Ed rushed over and pushed the door, the door was not closed, the figure now saw that it was a strong man, and it was clear what he was doing! How dare someone covet the woman they fancie?

Charlotte hid in the dark and saw Ed coming, and immediately picked up the road knife and jumped out and yelled at the **** servant's abdomen, the servant pretended to be injured and covered his abdomen in pain, and the blood meandered out of the door, witnessing Charlotte's murder and smiling weirdly at herself, Ed screamed, Charlotte walked towards him with a bloody broadknife,

"Ah!! Stay back! Stay back!! Help me!! Charlotte kills!! ”

"Ahh ~~”

Charlotte was just about to call the servant to get up, but Ed's screaming suddenly stopped, and Charlotte's heart suddenly burst, she won't be scared to death! Turning his head, he saw that a blood hole in Ed's chest was spurting blood, and at the moment when Charlotte turned around, Ed's back was already empty, something was wrong! Charlotte ran over and picked up the servant,

"Hey! Don't pretend! Get up! Get up! ”

No matter how Charlotte called the servant and still looked dead, she felt bad in her heart, a terrible conjecture jumped out, Charlotte trembled her hand to feel the servant's carotid artery, not beating! He's really dead! Charlotte looked at the servant's gray face in horror, and then looked at the blood-stained knife in her hand,

Boom!

The big knife was thrown out hard, Charlotte held her head and turned pale,

"No, I won't die, ah!"

Lydia had long been restless, and finally couldn't help but run out when she heard Charlotte's screams, and two corpses lay down in the small living room, Charlotte cried helplessly, and looked up to see her mother, who prayed for her mother's forgiveness and protection like all children who have done wrong,

"Mother, it was the knife that was broken, I didn't mean it, they all died! Woooooooo ”

Lydia's heart was like a piece of ice churning and cooling, her lips trembled, she had to say something, Charlotte needed her to bring security,

"It's okay, good girl, you can go quickly."

Right! Charlotte leaves, and she takes her place! Anyway, this accident is also her fault,

"Quick, get out of here! Mother has a way to deal with it. ”

After saying that, Lydia rushed into the bedroom, Charlotte stopped sobbing and stared at the congealed blood on the floor in a daze, and after a while, Lydia took a small package and hung it on Charlotte, pushing her out,

"Before dawn, how far can you run, how far can you run, someone will come to ask in a while, I'll cover for you!"

was dragged out of the door by her mother, Charlotte was treated so rudely by Lydia for the first time, and the inexplicable grievance made her cry again,

"Charlotte! Now is not the time to cry! Be strong! If you can't meet something, you can only cry! ”

I still feel sorry for her in my mouth,

"Okay, okay, don't cry, hurry up and escape,"

"Mother, you go with me!"

Charlotte cried and grabbed her mother and didn't let go, Lydia also wanted to cry, she didn't want to be separated from her daughter, but without her guilt, her daughter would be more dangerous, she couldn't selfishly follow her daughter to run for her life,

Breaking Charlotte's hand, Lydia raised her hand fiercely,

Syllable!

Charlotte covered her cheeks and looked at her mother in disbelief,

"This slap teaches you disobedience! If you don't leave, don't call me mother in the future! ”

Rumble! Click!

There was a thunderclap in the night sky, it was pouring rain outside the window, Charlotte's heart seemed to be raining too, Lydia's resolute back looked cold and hard, Charlotte fell backwards into the torrential rain, without her mother's help, Charlotte ran desperately in the stormy night, the rain washed away tears mixed with mud and left a series of footprints, but it would not attract attention.

"Here it is! The villain heard this shouting for help! ”

Soon after Charlotte left, a group of people broke into Lydia's house, they were first stunned by the sight at the door, and when it was confirmed that Ed was dead, the leader was no longer so polite to Lydia.

"Lady Lydia, are you trying to explain why Mr. Ed died in your room! The murder weapon is this knife, could it be that you killed Mr. Ed! The servant was killed by you to protect Mr. Eddard! Am I guessing right? ”

In the face of the menacing questioning, Lydia had to take a deep breath to resist the urge to hit someone.

"Yes, I killed the person, arrest me, I confess!"

Charles couldn't look at it from the sidelines, and blocked,

"Wait! Let's not talk about whether she has a motive to kill, just because she is so weak can kill two men? And she's just recovering from her injuries. It's just based on speculation, and you can't just arrest people without witness evidence! ”

The leader said unhappily,

"We are Mr. Ed's family, and we are not superintendents, what evidence do we want! Now she's the only one here who is suspicious, don't take her and take you away? Also, I warn you, this is our family affair, and you better not interfere! Beware of setting yourself on fire! ”

Seeing that Charles was silent, the leader said,

"However, you have a point, Lydia must have a helper if she is so weak! Where's that maid? You won't be afraid of crime and abscond, will you? ”

"No, it's not so! I was afraid that I would burden her and told her to leave, and this matter has nothing to do with her! ”

Charlotte was found in a search, and the leader, after Lydia's repeated confessions, decided not to pursue it again.

Charles watched from the side and felt that the case was full of doubts, Lydia was obviously lying, it was impossible for her to kill the person, the leader couldn't wait to force people to confess from the beginning, and let go of such an important suspect as Charlotte in a daze, what is there to do here, and what is the implication of being burned?
