"Brother, why haven't you come back yet? If you don't come back, you will be scolded to death by readers! ”

Fran stayed in her bedroom, complaining to her brother in her heart, carefully considering her words and slowly writing back to the readers who had asked her brother for advice or haode.

After a few days of wandering in the suburbs, Lady Adelaide returned to the court, and the maidens who accompanied her out for a walk also returned to their own homes. In the days she had been away from home, the backlog of letters had become more than she had been, and she had to put more effort into replying to them, which she had been busy with except for going to school these days.

However, in the girl's heart, this little thing is nothing, and the only thing that really bothers her is that one thing.

Charlotte, the abominable Charlotte.

The pen suddenly slid involuntarily, drawing an ugly curve on the white letterhead, and Fran hurriedly threw the page into the wastebasket, then picked up a page of letter and wrote again.

I don't know Weishenme, as soon as she thinks of this name, she can't help but feel uncomfortable in her heart, especially since she learned that her brother claimed to be Charlotte's lover in front of Baron Beauwon's family, Fran has accumulated extreme dissatisfaction and resentment in her heart, and she is almost to the point of hatred.

However, this dissatisfaction is still a far cry from the fear of his brother.

Forget it, if my brother comes back, I'll forgive him.

The girl said a word to herself in her heart, and then continued to write on the letter.

………………

By the time Fran had finished writing all the replies, her hands were already a little sore. She looked up at the window. It's already evening, and it's almost time for dinner.

She packed the replies in a small box, then stood up and picked it up. Prepare to hand it over to the servant and have the servant help deliver it to the nearby post office.

However, when Fran opened the door, she stood in the doorway, staring straight at the young man in front of her. The box fell to the ground, and the letters were scattered all over the place, but she didn't notice it.

"Fran. Have you listened to your grandfather lately? ”

It's still that familiar smile, it's still that deep voice.

Auditory hallucinations? Is it dreaming? Blurred eyes?

Seeing Fran's stunned motionless appearance, Charles couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and gently stroked his sister's head.

"Why, you don't recognize your brother?"

You can't go wrong with this touch, it's your brother.

"Fran. What's wrong? "I saw that my sister was still motionless. Charles was a little flustered, "Has something happened these days?" Feed...... Don't cry! I'm fine! ”

"Why are you only coming back now?!" Fran buried her head in Charles's chest and whispered a question, choked up as tears welled up in her eyes.

Charles had been carefully observing his neighborhood a few times recently, and had come back to check on him after making sure there were nothing out of the ordinary, but even then, he didn't plan to stay long. Just coming back and taking a look. I didn't expect my sister to react so much, but it was beyond his expectations. also moved him very much-it seems that Pingsu really doesn't hurt his sister in vain......

"I've just had something to do lately......" Charles smiled and patted his sister on the back to reassure, "Don't worry, Fran, I'm fine." ”

It took a few moments for Fran to stop crying and her head off Charles's chest.

Charles led his sister into her bedroom, carefully closed the door, and sat down on Fran's bed. Charles felt embarrassed in his heart, but he did a good job of hiding it, and he asked Fran with a serious expression.

"Has anything strange happened in the family lately? Or have you ever seen any strange people around you? ”

As if sensing her brother's solemnity, Fran frowned and thought for a long time, but Zuihou still shook his head.

"No, my classmates and I went out with Ms. Adelaide two days ago, but the servant didn't say anyone was coming. Also, the surroundings seem to be the same as before......"

"You went out for a walk the other day?" Charles felt something strange.

"As I told you before you left, Lady Adelaide is going to take a break in the castle on the outskirts, and invite a few of us to accompany her, and let us paint her!"

"Oh, that's good." Charles replied casually.

He was thinking about something else in his mind at the moment—did the Baron de Beauwang really not and did not intend to denounce himself? That's a great thing.

"Brother...... I have one thing to tell you. Fran spoke suddenly.

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Lola, do you remember? The daughter of the Baron de Beauwon. Madame, she also went with me to accompany the ......"

It took Charles a few seconds to remember the girl he had met at the exhibition that day, and she was okay.

Wait, daughter of Baron Beauwon?

"What's wrong with her?" Charles hurriedly asked.

"She spoke to me and mentioned you." Fran looked down at her hand, "She said that her father accidentally had a little misunderstanding with you, and said that you can rest assured that their family will not take it seriously." Brother, I heard her say you hit someone in her house? weishenme？ How can you do such a thing? ”

There was a hint of reproach in the girl's tone, but there was great concern in this reproach.

That's great!

Charles ignored his sister's reproach at all, and focused on "Rest assured, their family will not take it to heart." On this sentence.

"That's a fool who deserves to be beaten. Did she tell you anything else? ”

"She also said that her father is not upset about his previous offense now, and that he is interested in meeting you again to clear up the misunderstanding......

"Is that so?" Charles nodded slightly, it didn't seem to be anything abnormal, in fact, her heart was already full of joy at the moment, great!

He felt secretly glad that he had gone home this time, and it seemed that this trip home was worth it.

"I see. You turn back to that ...... Well, Lola...... Say it and tell her I've gotten the news. and was very interested in Baron Beauwon's proposal, that I could see him again when I had time - but certainly not his house...... Fran, this is very important, help my brother tell me. ”

Fran listened quietly to her brother's instructions, and although she didn't understand what he meant, she still remembered his words by heart, and didn't miss a word.

“haode。 I'll tell her. She nodded solemnly.

"Good boy!" Charles wiped his sister's head again, "I'll leave it to you!" ”

At this point, Charles remembered another purpose for returning home.

He pulled out the fan he had half-snatched from Mr. Carrion. Then he deliberately smiled at his sister in an exaggerated show-off tone and said, "Fran, look at what my brother has brought you?" ”

After saying that, he also deliberately shook the fan at his sister.

"Yikes!"

As Charles expected. As soon as my sister saw this fan. The eyes seem to be hooked.

"It's ...... Is this for me?! ”

"That's right, it's yours now!" Charles said proudly, and then handed the fan directly to Fran.

Fran carefully took the fan, then took it in her hand, gently stroked the silky and shiny black bone, and then opened the fan little by little, and saw the landscape painting on it.

"It's beautiful! It's so beautiful! The girl couldn't help but sigh.

Then she seemed to think of something, and looked at her brother with a slight reproach. "It's an antique, right? weishenme wants to buy such an expensive thing? ”

"If only you liked it." , Charles replied with a smile. "Don't worry, this is a fake, not an antique, it's not worth much, it's just a small gift, this is a gift from my brother."

Fran looked carefully at the landscape painting on the fan, not missing a single detail.

"Even if it's not an antique, just with this workmanship and the painting on it, it must be very valuable, how can you spend money so indiscriminately......"

"I said, this is for you, you just keep it, don't care so much." Charles was a little impatient and interrupted his sister directly.

After hearing his "reprimand", Fran looked at her brother blankly, and a trace of tears suddenly flashed in her eyes.

This is my brother, this is the one who will care about me and take care of me, will send me to the best painting classes, and will do everything he can to find me a gift. This is my brother......

"Fran, what's wrong with you?" Charles saw that his sister's expression was a little strange, and hurriedly asked. "Ah, I'm sorry, what I just said was a bit heavy, don't take it to heart, I'm just ......"

The young man with short blond hair was looking at him, his expression was gentle but solemn, his eyes were full of concern, he had obviously spent a lot of money to buy gifts for himself, and he was still vigorously daoqian to himself.

Really...... Really...... I still can't forgive it.

Fran reached out and grabbed her brother's hand so hard that her nails were sunk in.

"Lola told me that you wrote to her father claiming to be Charlotte's lover, is that true?!"

"Did he even tell you this?" Charles exclaimed, and then couldn't help but be angry at the banker. However, the most important thing right now is to cope with the current situation.

The piercing of the nails hurt Charles, but his sister's expression was so serious that he didn't shake it off for a moment, just smiled awkwardly and weakly.

"It's just a joke with them, don't take it personally." Charles didn't feel the need to explain to her in detail why he had done so, so he answered in the easiest way possible.

As for Charlotte's "deposit" and "balance", he definitely didn't dare to say it......

"Is it just kidding?" My sister still doesn't believe it.

"Absolutely!" Charles replied firmly.

Seeing that his sister was still skeptical, Charles decided to change the subject, and he saw the letters scattered all over the door.

"Fran, what is that, how do you have so many letters, and you look like you're going to take them out?"

Now it's my sister's turn to be embarrassed.

Ignoring Charles, Fran hurried to the door, then crouched up and picked up the scattered letters.

"That's a letter from me and my classmates, it's none of your business, I don't want you to help pick it up! Stay back...... Stay back! (To be continued......)
