Chapter 41: It's Close
The little doctor's home seemed to be far away, and the carriage changed horses at the post station every day, galloping day and night.
"Igub, your home won't be so far, will you? Where are you taking us? ”
How could Igub work in a town so far from home, Charlotte thought he might not be going home.
Thinking that Charlotte was tired, Igub took out a mat from under her and handed it to her,
"Here you go, it's coming soon, you can lie down and sleep for a while."
Igub only had one mat, so she smiled apologetically at Mary,
"Mary, come and lie down."
Charlotte gave it to Mary, who had been sitting with a sore back and longed to lie down and rest for a while, so Charlotte dragged her over.
"Come on, go to sleep."
Touching Mary's hair, Charlotte said worriedly,
"I don't know what happened to her now, has that matter been resolved?"
Igub accosted,
"It's a pity that you didn't see who killed Ed, otherwise my brother would have clues to solve the case, this afternoon is the day of the public trial, and my brother will send me a letter if there is a result, and we will know when we get home."
"Where's your home? Why hasn't it been yet? ”
"Southland"
You're a spy sent by Windsor, aren't you......
Near the Southland, Charlotte smelled the thick smell of gunsmoke, and everywhere was sharpening knives&1&Ben&Read&Novel{.{ yb}{du}.} The scene of the training of the troops, the road they took was the main road to the south, the army camp was especially large, slowed down to let a column of soldiers pass first, Charlotte got out of the carriage and sat next to the coachman, Igubu seemed to be very concerned about the situation outside, there was no place to sit outside and stood behind Charlotte, Charlotte turned his head and found that he was looking seriously, pouting, a doctor can see something.
The soldiers who passed through walked with neat steps, walked sonorously and vigorously, at first glance they were trained for many years, they carried Ge on their shoulders, and the sharp head flashed with silver light that stinged Charlotte's eyes, she suddenly was not in the mood to admire the mighty soldiers, turned around and pushed Igub into the carriage, Igub was pushed coldly, did not stand firm under his feet, plopped down from the carriage, patted the dirt on his body, Igub was about to complain, but found that the perpetrator had escaped into the car.
Although their carriage was inconspicuous, it was also subject to strict checks before being allowed to pass, and the scene inside the Southland was completely different from what Charlotte saw outside, and the people lived a peaceful and happy life without being affected by the noise outside.
"If the Duke of Windsor wins, he will be a generation of heroes."
Charlotte didn't refute, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it, this place was more prosperous than the royal capital, and it was easier for people to feel a sense of belonging than the royal capital. The laughter and frolicking of children in the streets makes people feel that this is paradise, and Charlotte wanted to settle here for a moment.
"I can only pray for them that the war will not reach these innocent people."
Igubu followed Charlotte's gaze to the group of young children, and her pupils became moist and soft,
"I know what you're thinking, you don't think it's right for the royal family to start a war because of personal vendettas, you are taking pity on these innocent civilians."
Igubu's words pointed out Charlotte's thoughts, she never understood why the Duke of Windsor did this, in her consciousness Windsor was definitely not a good person, he was an extremely selfish person.
"But I don't think the Duke of Windsor has done anything wrong, you can understand it as a cult of personality, hehe, ninety-nine percent of the people in the Southland have a cult plot for the Duke, and the remaining one percent is probably here,"
Igub pointed to the brain,
"Not enough here, smart?"
Charlotte thought that Igub could say something inspiring, but I didn't expect it to be so, a doctor is a doctor, don't expect too much from him!
After walking all the way with the little doctor, Charlotte realized from his living habits that he might not be a commoner, and it was expected that he came to the little doctor's house, of course, it was not as gorgeous as the room she had lived in before, after all, the Lucas family was famous for its wealth, but it was also very good, similar to Mattiadin's house.
Charlotte was afraid of sleeping alone, but she was embarrassed to say that she had won a roommate on the grounds that Mary was still young and needed her care, and Igub considered that the two had left their homes and had no relatives around, so they could comfort each other by arranging for the two to live together.
The next day after arriving at Igub's house, I received a letter from Charles, Igub's face was ugly after reading it, Charlotte had a bad premonition, and reached out to pull out the letter, Igub held the letter up with his height,
"Don't look at it, don't rob it, I'm for your good!"
Charlotte shoved Ikub on the chest and roared at Ikub,
"What right do you have to hide from me! It's my family affair! ”
Igubu took a step back, his hand still held high,
"Charlotte, don't you hide it from me, don't look at it, can you do it?"
Igub's performance made Charlotte's uneasiness more and more overflowing, she couldn't control her emotions, and a tear rolled down her eyes,
"I'm hiding something from you, didn't you guess I was Lydia's daughter! You won't let me see it yet! Bad apple! ”
With the softness of crying, Igubu almost disarmed and surrendered,
"You guys quarreled?"
Mary cautiously peeked her head out of the crack in the door, her big gurgling eyes were full of fear, Charlotte quickly turned around and secretly wiped away her tears, Mary was most afraid of adults quarreling, usually she hid far away, but this time it was different, it was Charlotte who quarreled, she couldn't run away. Squeezing in through the crack in the door, Mary closed the door and walked behind Charlotte and hugged her thighs,
"Charlotte is particularly angry, okay? Mary was afraid. ”
Taking a deep breath, Charlotte suppressed her anger and turned around to hug Mary, laughing and coaxing her,
"No anger, no more noise, let's not stay here anymore."
Pulling Mary away, she planned to put Mary to sleep and come back to Igub.
"Tomorrow there will be a family reunion with important people attending, so I'm going to prepare now."
Charlotte stopped, this is to tell herself not to go to him recently, feeling a headache, Mary tugged on Charlotte's sleeve, she looked down and saw Mary's pleading eyes, closed her eyes and tried not to burst out,
Igubu also felt that this was a bit cruel to Charlotte, and silently added,
"Brother has already figured out a solution, don't worry, Lydia will be fine."
Igub really didn't want her to see the letter, which was detailed, and he was afraid that the girl would be hurt.
Although she was angry with him, Charlotte also knew that the little doctor had no malicious intentions, and his brother was still helping his mother get rid of his crimes, she was too anxious to know her mother's current situation so she would lose her mind, thinking carefully about the content of the letter, she could probably guess that the public trial must have failed, hiding the pain in her heart, Charlotte picked up Mary and went back to the bedroom.
Coaxed Mary to sleep, Charlotte couldn't hold back any longer, thinking of the suffering that Lydia would suffer for herself, thinking of the impunity of the murderer behind Ed's death, she suppressed and threw herself on the bed, can Charles really save her mother, will her uncle abandon her previous suspicions and support her mother, Charlotte doesn't know, she guesses and assumes back and forth in her heart, and she will never get the answer she wants.
