"I knew! I knew!" said Hughes, who began to wail in his heart, and his face became more and more stinky. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"In this case, things will turn around, haha, Master Xius, the information you provided is very crucial, I have to go back immediately, well, I have to go to Viscount Menson's house to ask Fagaret, maybe, from here, you can directly find out the murderer behind the scenes? Oh yes, Master Xius, the friend you are talking about is indeed Fagaret? Mensong is right!" Lord Deka, the sheriff, suddenly stood up, his face flushed with excitement, and he shook his fist vigorously.

Mrs. Betty glanced at her son, got up at the same time, and said with a smile: "Then trouble Lord Deca, if there is any good news, please send your men to tell us in time." ”

"Of course, thanks to the Snow Mountain Black Tea in the house, and thanks to the cooperation of Young Master Xiusi, I believe that luck is on your side, and the case will end soon!" Lord Deka gracefully thanked the master, from the perspective of Xius, this Lord Sheriff is indeed confident, which makes him somewhat happy.

Lady Betty and Theseus sent Baron Deka to the castle gates. From the point of view of the aristocratic class, this was already a very sincere performance, and Deka was very satisfied with this, and secretly decided that he must redouble his efforts after returning and strive to bring the case to a perfect end within a week.

"In that case, both Lord Count and Lord Gale will be satisfied!hehe!" said a smile on the face of Lord Deka, who was riding on his horse.

When Mrs. Betty and her son returned to the main hall, Hughes wanted to sneak away without thinking about it, avoiding the smile that he would see later on his mother's face. However, things did not go as expected, and Mrs. Betty did not seem to want to let her son go like this, and she called out to Hughes intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hughes, don't go yet, I have something to tell you!" said Lady Betty, in the back.

"Ahh However, this completely sluggish appearance made my mother laugh even more.

"Oh, my good son, why do you look like this, are you sick?" said Mrs. Betty continued to tease him. She didn't realize that in just one night after the incident, her usual stable image had changed slightly.

This change is not in appearance and clothing, but in mentality. It's like overnight, she has entered middle age and suddenly rejuvenates her youthful vitality, like a girl in her twenties, and she becomes fond of pranks.

So far, no one else has discovered this situation except Raul, the butler who assists Mrs. Betty in managing the family's housekeeping. Moreover, what everyone didn't know was that Steward Raul not only discovered the changes in Betty, but even the changes in Viscount Gale and Young Master Hughes, and he saw them all.

"Young Master Xiusi's breakthrough has really brought a lot of different new atmosphere to the family!" At the door of the main hall at a suitable distance from Betty's mother and son, Butler Raul smiled and whispered, and a breath of peace and joy emanated faintly from him.

Faced with his mother's questioning, Hughes was quite speechless, he hadn't seen his mother tease him like this for a long time since he was sensible, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Mom~", Husla complained in a long voice, but he didn't expect that this slightly cute, dissatisfied expression would instead cause another burst of laughter from Mrs. Betty.

It took a while for Mrs. Betty, who was laughing so hard that her stomach hurt, stopped, and at this time, she also felt a little inappropriate, but the joy of immersing herself in the family life of mother and son made her want to stop.

"Okay, well, hehe, Hugh, did you really tell this about it? Did you tell anyone else?" Seeing that Hughes was about to become angry, Mrs. Betty easily suppressed the smile in her heart, and tried to ask her son more in a flat tone.

Xius was helpless: "It's him! Who knew that this rotten love saint sold me again!"

"Is it Fagaray? Hehe, you children know what it means!" Lady Betty shook her head disappreciably and said with a smile, "I hope that he did pass it on, in that case, it will be easy to find the nobles involved, and the case will be clear." ”

"Isn't it just a bed for different women every day, how can I not know this, look down on me!" Hughes was not convinced by his mother's words, and muttered quietly.

"What are you talking about!" Lady Betty's voice suddenly became stern, and she glared at her son with great displeasure and reprimanded.

The reason is very simple, Hughes's self-talk just now was heard by his mother.

Think about it, how can a fourteen-year-old child say anything in front of his mother to "go to a different woman's bed" without causing shame and embarrassment to his mother.

As soon as Xius said that, he knew that something bad was going to happen, and as soon as he heard his mother's scolding at this moment, he immediately shrank his head and his face was almost on his chest.

Mrs. Betty looked at her son, who hung his head and did not speak, and had a headache.

She also knew very well that at this age, if it was a girl, the family would already organize banquets and balls for her to get to know the corresponding boys, and immediately afterwards it would be an exchange about marriage, of course, between nobles who met each other's wishes and conditions.

And for boys, at the age of fourteen, it is very normal to have a hazy affection for girls. She herself has been through this period and is now a mother, and of course understands the thoughts of the boys during this period.

Like that son's friend Fagaret, she had heard many rumors, even scandals, about that handsome boy. But she and Gail never asked their son to keep his distance from each other. Because, in aristocratic circles, no one really thinks how shameless feelings and things about sex are. On the contrary, sane adults agree that this is the stage that children must go through on their own.

Mrs. Betty knows this, but from the situation of her own family, the difficulty lies here.

For the Holden family, she and Gail have only one child, so Hughes is the only heir. This is, of course, a very noble status, but it is also a very heavy burden for my son, who is only fourteen years old.

In order to be able to take on this heavy responsibility, from the age of five, Gale began to train him gradually and rigorously as a warrior, and he even invited his son to teach him cultural knowledge by sages.

It can be said that for nearly ten years, his son Hughes has lived in a kind of high pressure.

The expectations of the parents for their sons and the needs of the family have severely compressed the world of Hughes, forcing a small child to struggle to carry many things that should not be borne by the child.

Therefore, before the ambush, Theseus always had a lot of grievances against the stern father, and although he still loved Gail, his usual coldness and silence were obviously the child's silent protests. Even from Betty's own point of view, she found that her son was less and less dependent on her and talked less and less.

This kind of thing always makes parents feel uncontrollable sadness, but they can't relax, so they can only bear it silently with their son. Betty had grieved for a long time, and if it weren't for her own wisdom and Gail's persuasion, she would have been unable to endure the coldness between mother and son.

Finally, Hughes has grown to this day, and new problems have come again, and they are still the most troublesome problems related to feelings. Faced with such an uncontrollable situation, Lady Betty, who is as smart and capable as Lady Betty, has to sigh.

After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Betty could only frown, as smart and capable as she was, she could not come up with a perfect solution to her son's emotional problems in such a short time.

In fact, there is no fixed form and pattern of human feelings, so one's own experience, or even the experience of the previous generation, has no special effect on Xiusi at this moment. Even, if he decides to apply it roughly, it may cause great harm to Theseus, forcing him to become a new member of the rebellious child.

This is by no means what Lady Betty, who is the mother of Hughes, wants to see!

So Mrs. Betty had no choice but to suspend the discussion on the matter for the first time, and simply changed the subject to something else: "Well, since Mr. Deca is gone, we don't need to sit here stupidly, let's do whatever we want, for example, continue to take a bath!" At this point, Betty remembered what she had seen when she rushed into the bathroom, and she couldn't help laughing, a happy smile from the heart of a mother as she faced her son's growth.

Mrs. Betty raised her voice in a funny way, and while laughing inexplicably and feeling bad for Hughes, she spoke again: "Hughes, Mommy is glad to see that you are becoming a man!hehe, but you must remember to keep the key areas hygienic!hehe~!"

Hughes understood everything, his face flushed, he couldn't say a word, he turned around and ran to the bedroom, leaving his mother's laughter far behind.

Back in the bedroom, Xius breathed a sigh of relief, his face was still red, and he felt uncomfortable but unable to vent his grievances in his heart. So, feeling that his whole body was burning, he immediately remembered the bathtub again.

At this time, due to the conversation with the sheriff, a short time had passed, and the water temperature had also dropped, which was exactly the most suitable temperature for the fire. Hughes only tried it with his hands, then quickly stripped naked and jumped in.

"Wow, that's so comfortable!" the warm water soaked Xiusi's whole body, and the feeling of warmth and relaxation immediately hit his mind, and he involuntarily relaxed his whole body, and half floated in the bathtub.

At the same time, the sheriff was riding his horse down the road back to the castle lord's mansion.

The good news he received from Theseus was like a clear spring, and with the cool wind that quickly swept across his face, all the fiery heat in his heart from yesterday's attack on the nobles quickly dissipated into the passing air.

At this time, not only did he not have the feeling of being burned last night, but he was relaxed and comfortable, and he could even be described as high-spirited.

"It's already obvious. It must have been a good thing that the stunned young master did out of jealousy. As long as you start to track down from Fagaret and Dhaka Estate, you will definitely be able to figure out the ins and outs of the ambush. If this scandalous matter can be brought to an end quickly, I think the Lord of the City and the Viscount Gale will remember my abilities. Haha~~!"

Thinking of this, Lord Deca was even more excited, and with a flick of his hand he whipped the horse's rump so hard that the horse neighed in pain and rushed forward with great acceleration. At this time, he didn't care about his image among the commoners, and only hoped to reach the Earl's Court faster.

It didn't take long for Baron Deka to reach the imposing gate of the lord's mansion, he dismounted, handed the reins to the servant beside him, and hurried in without warning.

Fortunately, he was a frequent visitor to the Earl's Court, otherwise, the guards next to him did not hesitate and retreated, but directly stopped him outside.

"Lord Earl, Lord Count, there is a new clue!" Baron Deka cried out before he could reach the drawing-room, and the maid who was working as a maid next to him quickly greeted in surprise to give way.

At the moment when he almost broke into the main hall, the Lord of Radiant City, Count Alpha Phoenix, also turned around, his brow furrowed slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the loud shouts of the comer.

"Watch your image, Baron!" Alpha was already over forty years old, and because he had been in the top position for a long time, his body was full of majesty, and this slightly dissatisfied slap came into Deca Deca ears startled him, and he was excited, and quickly restrained his smug appearance.

"Yes, my lord, I lost my temper, please forgive me. Deka honestly apologized.

Count Alpha looked at him twice, and saw that he had indeed returned to his usual state, so he waved his hand casually and said, "Forget it, pay attention in the future." Do you have any new clues about last night's events?"

Count Alpha was actually quite concerned about this case of attacking the nobles.

Under his rule, there had not been such a major case that shook the nobles in Shining City for many years. And this time, just because the three words "ambush, kill, and junior swordsman" came out of the Security Department, it had already made dozens of nobles uneasy, and even a few came to the door to inquire about the situation.

This is no small matter, and if the nobles are not satisfied, even his dual status as city lord and earl is not enough to suppress the protests of the noble community.

If that happens, not only will his reputation be damaged, but maybe Shining City will be messed up. This is by no means what Count Alpha, who is the lord of the city, is happy to see.

The city lord's inquiry made Deka a little excited, and he walked a few steps and reported: "Young Master Hus of the Gale family has not been hurt much, and from my conversation with them, I have found an important clue, which is the possible motive of the murderer behind this ambush. ”

"Oh?" Count Alpha's eyes lit up, "So the Sheriff's Department will soon be able to find the culprit?" This is good news, several nobles in the city have already sent people to ask, and I have a headache too. ”

"This ...... Sir, we have only found the most probable motive, and I can't guarantee whether it is the right answer or not!" A cold sweat broke out on Deka's forehead.

"Just the most probable motive?" the Earl's brows furrowed again when he heard this, and after a moment, he said helplessly: "Okay, the case still has to be handled solidly, after all, it involves the son of Viscount Gael." Tell me about the motive first. ”

"Yes, it's probably Young Master Xius's own reasons......"

"You mean the children's revenge?!" the Count immediately interrupted the other man when he heard this, and he immediately thought of the most likely scenario from his own experience.

"Well, for a similar reason to what you said, my lord!" the sheriff euphemistically dismissed the lord's claim, "in fact, after my communication with Lady Betty, the most likely reason is jealousy!"

"Jealousy, you mean the jealousy of the other noble children!" the Earl was angry, and he cursed in his heart, just because of this little mood to make such a big fuss, if he knew which family did it, he would definitely teach his family a profound lesson.
