Chapter 15: The King's Trap 3

In the past two days, Mr. Lucas was reminded by a businessman who was doing business with him, and knew that Danse's grandfather was investigating the affairs of their family, at first Mr. Lucas was not panicked, he felt that as long as the people of his family insisted that it was Charlotte who attended the dinner that night, then Count Leosa could not do anything, but he didn't expect that the servant of their family actually betrayed Lucas, and he didn't know how much benefit Count Leosa gave him, and this servant probably left a note for Lucas in the room out of guilt, telling them what happened.

Lucas, knowing that Riosha's revenge had succeeded, did not want to harm the innocent, and gave each servant a gold bar as travel and living expenses, and let them go home if they were willing to go. Now there are only four masters and two servants left in the Lucas family, Natalie has long been serving in the Lucas family and has no home of her own, she has no intention of leaving, and Charlotte's nanny Emily is not willing to leave the Lucas family at this time,

Emily wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, put the tea soup in her hand in front of Lydia, and happily followed Lydia to make a cross, Lydia looked at Emily and hesitated for a moment but said,

"Emily, are you really not going to leave? I've heard that you also have a shoemaker son, are you really not going to go to him? ”

"Madam, since you gave birth to Miss, I have been with you and Miss, and I have never left for a day, I have long regarded you and Miss as family, how can I leave you with confidence in this situation!"

Lydia's & 1 & Ben & Read & Novel {.{ yb}{du}.} The circles under the eyes are red again,

"Emily, you may not know, this time our family is afraid of bad luck, if you don't leave, you will probably be exiled to Tansnia Island, you better hurry home, don't accompany us to be unlucky! Natalie, send her. ”

After saying that, Lydia couldn't bear to look at Emily again, Emily knelt at Lydia's feet, grabbing her skirt and not letting go, Natalie couldn't pull hard, so she could only let go,

"Ma'am, Emily is not afraid of exile, as long as you and Miss are in Emily, she is not afraid of anything!"

Mr. Lucas, unable to bear the parting of life and death, suddenly got up and strode out to the balcony, he lit a cigarette and took a sharp puff, and the noise boiling in his mind became indifferent, and he no longer listened to the conversation in the hall, and looked silently at the dusk moon in the dark sky.

Katie sadly embraced her mother and buried her head in her arms, Emily's cry caused Cinderella's grief, she thought that she had not had time to say goodbye to the prince and would never see him again, Cinderella covered her face and wept bitterly.

"You help me up to rest, Natalie takes Katie to her room."

"Madame, you let me stay?"

Lydia's body was too weak to stand up due to grief, so she smiled reluctantly and reached out to Emily, who quickly helped her up, and the two went upstairs.

There were only Mr. Lucas and Cinderella downstairs, and the hall was quiet, and Cinderella was anxiously looking for her father's figure, and finally found Lucas outside,

"Father,"

Lucas turned his head to see his daughter's delicate face, wiped the tears on his daughter's face, and rubbed his fingers against the smooth skin, Lucas was deeply sad, his daughter was the same age as a flower, she has always been a delicate flower in a greenhouse, even if she married her stepfamily, she didn't suffer much, how could such a daughter withstand the ups and downs outside!

"Cinderella, I'm sorry, my Cinderella,"

Cinderella threw herself into her father's arms, and the father and daughter hugged each other and wept.

In the upstairs room, Lydia twisted a plaster statue by the window, and a landscape in front of her slowly rose, revealing the entrance to the secret room.

"Follow me."

Emily followed Madame into the secret room, the road inside was narrow, only one person could pass, Lydia didn't take a few steps and stopped and pressed a few times on the wall on the right hand, the light was too strong, Lydia closed her eyes slightly, Emily was caught off guard for the first time and was burned by the light, and she rested for a while before she could open it, Lydia saw Emily open her eyes, and motioned her to follow, through the glorious corridor, the walls on both sides were inlaid with various gems that Emily had never seen in her life, The scattered gems refracted the light of the candle flame to illuminate the entire corridor, I had long heard that Lucas's family was rich, seeing these rare gems embedded here like rotten stones and cement, Emily couldn't help but smack her tongue, there were gradually more murals on both sides of the corridor, Lydia stopped in front of a mural with a cherub, she looked at Emily embarrassedly, and kissed the cherub's lips, the wall roared twice, and the mural split in two to reveal the dark compartment inside, and came back from the prince's banquet, Lydia had been uneasy in her heart, she had prepared this box early, just in case she didn't tell anyone, took out the box and solemnly handed it to Emily, Lydia took Emily's hand and walked to another portrait,

"There's a secret door here, and when you get out of here, be sure to find Charlotte and put this box in her hands!"

Emily finally understood the purpose of Madame bringing herself here, looking at the box in her hand, Emily felt that it must be all the wealth of the Lucas family, her heart sank, it seems that the Lucas family really can't turn over this time.

"There's nothing of value in it, it's just objects that Charlotte will be able to look at in the future to ease her grief."

Lydia saw Emily's thoughts, and was afraid that she would be too distracted and misguided, so she hurriedly explained.

"Madam, no matter what is in this, but I know that the things in it must be very important to Miss, and I will definitely hand it over to Miss in its entirety, Madame, please rest assured!"

Sent Emily, and then you can see the exit, afraid of being seen by outsiders, Lydia is inconvenient to send her again, the two said goodbye, and couldn't help but hug each other and cry for a while, Lydia took Emily's hand and instructed,

"In the future, Charlotte will be handed over to you to take care of, you will treat her as your daughter, and you must discipline her if you are disobedient!"

Emily couldn't cry, Lydia finished speaking, and walked into the secret room without looking back, Emily watched Lydia's figure disappear, and turned away from the Lucas house where she had lived for nineteen years.

Lydia passed by the cherub mural as she returned, and after a moment of thought, she opened it again, not knowing what she had taken from the dark compartment and hid it in her sleeve.

Rochester ran wildly on the dark streets, he didn't dare to go blatantly, so he had to pick some roads that were few people and close, and at the same time, on the spacious streets, Count Riosha led hundreds of royal soldiers, and drove towards Lucas's house, Rochester led Riosha ten minutes ahead of Leosa to Lucas's house,

The sound of a knock on the door sounded like a note of urgency to the Lucas family, and Mr. Lucas looked at his wife and daughter soothingly, and trembled towards the door that determined death.

When Rochester saw that the door was opened, he rushed into the door without looking at the person who opened the door, and he grabbed Cinderella's hand and tried to take her away, but Cinderella did not move,

"Rochester, I don't want to go."

Mr. Lucas was anxious, and patted Cinderella's head vigorously to wake her up,

"Kid, let's go! Don't be stupid, it's useless for you to follow us except to drag us down, go fast! ”

Cinderella looked at her father, even Lydia and Katie, she didn't want to leave them, Rochester tugged at her wrist again, Cinderella cried in pain,

"Ahh It hurts, Rochester, you let me go, I really can't go. ”

Katie, who had been silent since Rochester came in, spoke,

"We still have Charlotte, do you want her to have no relatives in this world! Let's go! ”

After saying that, Katie left the hall, Cinderella was silent, Rochester picked up Cinderella and walked out of Lucas's house, and picked her up on the BMW, Rochester kicked the horse's belly, and the BMW raised its hooves and roared,

"Hey! Hold it! ”

As soon as Riosha entered the street, he saw the two of them coming out of Lucas's house, seeing that the two of them got on the horse and wanted to leave, Riosha hurriedly yelled, and the soldiers wanted to stop the two, Rochester ignored Riosha at all and drove the horse away, at this time Lydia rushed out of the door, caught up with Rochester's Marse, gave Cinderella a parchment roll, Lydia wanted to say something, Riosha was already less than twenty meters away from them, Rochester frowned, raised the whip, the horse ran out quickly, Lydia watched them leave, Ruthless or shouted at Cinderella,

"What you give you, protect it! Cinderella must remember! ”

When Count Riosha heard Lydia's words, he secretly screamed that it was not good, it was likely that the two of them had taken away most of the wealth of the Lucas family, and they must not let these two people go!

Riosha pursued Rochester and Cinderella with most of his soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers surrounded Lucas's house, waiting for Count Riosha to return.

When Lydia returned home, Mr. Lucas was angry with her for the first time, he didn't expect his wife to come up with such a vicious scheme to divert the king's attention, he always knew that Lydia favored Charlotte, but he didn't expect her to hurt his other daughter for Charlotte's sake, which made him a little sad.

He glanced coldly at Lydia and turned to go to the study, by this time Mr. Lucas had no illusions about reality, and the king's sinister intentions were clearly revealed, and what he wanted was the innumerable wealth and vast business empire of the Lucas family.
