Chapter 216: Punishment
Marita came over at such a time, which surprised Zhou Nan a little. Even if there is some ambiguity between him and Marita, it is impossible for her to think about emotional matters with Zhou Nan when her father's bones are not cold.
Although Marita is willful, the education she received since childhood has given her enough to see the overall situation and will never ignore the overall situation.
If it is rumored that she was in a hurry to meet her "lover" when her father just died, even if the British people liked her no matter how much they liked her, they would scold her to death.
Moreover, it is impossible for the British royal family to let her go at this time, valuing reputation over life, which is still the mainstream idea of the aristocracy of this era.
So Zhou Nan was just puzzled for a moment, and denied the idea that Marita was here to have a "showdown" with him.
Audrey took Marita directly to the small living room on the second floor, accompanied by her female officer Kate King, the head of the royal family, George's personal assistant and others.
Everyone's mood was not very high, and when they saw Zhou Nan coming out, they all got up and said hello. Only Marita was still a little distracted, nestled in the large single sofa, staring blankly at a photo of George and Zhou Nan on the living room wall.
It was a photo of Zhou Nan and George on the racetrack when he was attending a horse race. The two of them leaned against each other on the railing of the racecourse, both looking at a certain place in the distance, and smiling very happily.
Zhou Nan clearly remembered that they were looking at Albert, who won the championship, but in the photo, Albert did not appear.
The photographer took this photo secretly, so the expressions of the two people were very natural, and Zhou Nan also liked this photo, so he washed one and hung it in this private reception room.
Marita kept staring blankly at the photo of her father and Zhou Nan, tears flowed silently, but she didn't make any moves.
Audrey was helping her wipe her tears on the side, and when she saw Zhou Nan, there was a trace of pity in her eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
The head of the royal family, Earl Swarfs, looked at her appearance, sighed softly, and said to Zhou Nan: "Jonas, if you don't mind, let's talk a few words in private." ”
"Of course......" Zhou Nan nodded slightly. After thinking about it for a while, there were Stolko in their study, and their bedroom, dressing room, and Audrey's study were not suitable for private meetings, so I took Swarfs to the guest meeting room at the back staircase on the second floor.
This room is adjacent to the maid's closet and was originally intended to provide an intimate meeting place for guests. However, Zhou Nan rarely holds balls and rarely receives large receptions, so he makes little use of it.
It was still very cold in London in February, there was no heating in this room, and Zhou Nan, who was only wearing a sweater, felt a little cold when he came in.
Seeing Zhou Nan's demeanor, Swarfs said with a smile: "Let's make a long story short." Jonas, do you really know your Chinese 'martial arts'? Can it help people to regulate their bodies? ”
Zhou Nan didn't understand what he meant for a while, and said conservatively: "I won't deny this, but it's just conditioning, and it has no therapeutic effect." ”
He asked, "Can you give Marita a good night's sleep?" She hadn't slept for three days, and from the day before His Majesty's death to now, Marita felt as if she had lost her soul, she didn't eat, she didn't sleep, and if she didn't survive His Majesty's funeral, her body would collapse. ”
Zhou Nan looked at him, his shoulders contracted, spread his hands and said, "I didn't mean to snoop on your privacy." …… It's Audrey, she thinks you can help Marita. ”
Zhou Nan relieved himself, nodded and said, "I do have a method, but it is not suitable." He pointed to his lower abdomen and said, "Because I need to touch this part of her to help her." ”
As if relieved, he said, "You're a doctor now, aren't you?" As long as Marita can sleep well and her body doesn't collapse, we will not object to such treatment. ”
He accentuated the tone of his voice over the word healing.
"You guys?"
He nodded and said, "Not only me and Lady Katekin, but also Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. They were very worried about Marita, who adored her most and loved the most was her father, and the death of His Majesty the King hit her the hardest. ”
Zhou Nan nodded and said, "I'm very willing to help Marita, but ...... I need to talk to Audrey first. ”
"That's as it should be."
This matter was originally raised by Audrey, of course she would not object, and Zhou Nan didn't want to say anything to her at this time, just asked people to prepare a bedroom on the third floor.
Audrey and Mrs. Katekin carry Marita upstairs, and she is at the mercy of others like a soulless puppet.
However, from the moment she came in, she didn't look at Zhou Nan. Zhou Nan also knew, she was scared and looking forward to it.
Or that she wanted to escape, but she couldn't resist.
After about an hour, Zhou Nan chatted with Swarfs about the funeral arrangements.
Because of George's death, everyone's interest was not high, and they were a little speechless.
Then Mrs. Kate King went downstairs to inform them that they were ready.
Of course, it was inconvenient for Swarfs and the men to go upstairs, and Zhou Nan followed Mrs. Katekin to the upstairs guest room.
Marita took a shower, her hair was wrapped up, and she sat on the bed with the quilt in her arms.
Audrey was by her side, and when she saw Zhou Nan coming in, she didn't dare to look at him.
Zhou Nan didn't have the heart to settle accounts with her at this time, but in fact, in his heart, he couldn't tell if he was looking forward to the scene in front of him.
Zhou Nan came to the bedside, squatted down facing Marita, and whispered, "Marita, long time no see." ”
Marita looked at him and whispered with teary eyes, "The person who loves me the most in the world has left me, and from now on, ,...... I'm just a kid without a father. ”
Seeing that the originally youthful Marita had become so fragile, Zhou Nan's heart was also uncomfortable.
George's love for Marita is incomparable to that of ordinary fathers, and he gives Marita meticulous care, helping Marita to support her for a while, so that Marita can grow up carefree under his care.
Therefore, his death was completely lost for Marita.
Zhou Nan can understand her helplessness and vulnerability, but all this requires her to be strong on her own.
"When I was two years old, my mom died of an illness. Fourteen years ago, I was a sixteen-year-old. My father was caught and shot by the Japanese in order to recover the cultural relics that had been stolen by the Japanese. From that day on, I also became an orphan. But...... Life will go on eventually, and the continuation of life is originally the arrival and departure of generations into this world. Before we leave, enjoying the world to the fullest and experiencing the world is the meaning of life. ”
"But I can no longer find the meaning of my existence......" she cried. I don't know what the meaning of my existence is, how I think, how great it would be if I could exchange my life for my father's life! ”
Although this kind of words are very childish, the three people in the room can feel her sincere emotions. Now she is the fragile child of a time zone father.
"With your father's expectations, live well, that's what you should do." Zhou Nan said gently: "I know, you can't sleep peacefully because you miss your father, now, are you willing to let me help you?" ”
"Although my father has left me, in my heart, he is still there. I can't forget him, and I don't want to forget him, so please don't deprive me of missing him. ”
Zhou Nan said gently: "No, we will not do this. We just want you to get a good night's sleep so you have the energy to sustain it until the funeral is over! ”
She glanced sideways at Zhou Nan and said softly, "You know, I've always trusted you very much. ”
Both Kate King and Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that Marita would be paranoid and would not listen to anyone's advice, and now that she was willing to obey the arrangement, it would be better.
With his wife and Mrs. Kate King by his side, and Marita in a heavy mood, the two of them did not have any ambiguity.
Marita obediently followed Zhou Nan's instructions and lay down on the bed, Zhou Nan's hand reached into the placket of her dress and stuck to her soft abdomen.
If we think of internal force as the energy or magnetic field inside the body, then this energy is not only difficult to cultivate, but also difficult to control.
Audrey is like that. She is now able to run this energy inside her body and regulate her physical state.
But she, like Hughes, couldn't fully control the energy.
Like the energy they output, they can't output it slowly and little by little according to their own plan, and the output is a very violent one. They can hit people, they can resist, but they can't help others.
Only Zhou Nan, with decades of experience, has a higher level of cultivation, so he can help others.
was placed on his lower abdomen by Zhou Nan's hand, and Marita, who had never been so intimate with a man, felt as if her lower abdomen was on fire.
Then, it really caught fire.
The warm air flow passed through Zhou Nan's hand and entered Marita's body, and this strong stimulation almost made Marita scream.
However, out of trust in Zhou Nan, Marita didn't move, enjoying the feeling of making her comfortable.
It was as if she had returned to her mother's womb, and her whole body was occupied by this warm tingling, which made her completely relaxed, and then she fell asleep before she knew it.
Of course, Zhou Nan will not be stingy with her, although she is asleep, she still uses internal force to help her comb her body.
The room soon smelled of rancidity, and a layer of dirt formed on Marita's skin.
Audrey was not surprised in the slightest, but Mrs. Katekin, who was watching from the sidelines, opened her mouth wide in surprise without the surprise of a lady, and all this in front of her completely subverted her understanding of the world.
Zhou Nan pulled out his palm and stood up, his palm was also stained with a little dirt secreted by Marita's body. "Let her sleep well, and let her take a shower tomorrow morning."
Mrs. Katekin looked at Zhou Nan in surprise and forgot to respond. It wasn't until Zhou Nan was about to walk out of the room that she seemed to have just woken up and grabbed Zhou Nan's arm from behind.
"Jonas, Yonas, is this magic? Is it because of this that Audrey is eternally young? ”
"It's not that effective, it's just a way to clean up the dirt inside people's bodies."
She actually knelt down, hugged Zhou Nan's thigh, suppressed her voice and said hurriedly, "Help me...... Please help me, I'm willing to pay any price. ”
Being hugged so intimately by a beautiful woman in her early thirties, Zhou Nan looked at her pleading condescendingly, and couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
He looked at Audrey, who came over and whispered, "Kate, please don't do this...... We just want to know, are you willing to keep it a secret? ”
Mrs. Katekin immediately said, "I swear to God that I will keep it a secret and not let anyone know that Jonas is capable of this." ”
Audrey looked at Zhou Nan, helped Zhou Nan make a decision and said: "It's not appropriate today, you prepare two sets of identical clothes tomorrow night, and then accompany Marita over, when the time comes, I will ask Jonas to help you ......"
Zhou Nan's knees were tightly pressed against her plump breasts, and feeling the softness, Zhou Nan said uncomfortably: "Audrey's decision is my decision, and I don't want this secret to leak out." If someone asks, you say I can only make people sleep quietly. ”
"Yes, I know. Trust me in my integrity as a court lady and countess. ”
She let go of Zhou Nan's legs, and felt that she was a little too rude, so she stood up a little embarrassed and sorted out the clothes on her body.
"So be it, you're here to look after Marita. It's best not to let anyone else in until tomorrow morning. Audrey, come with me. ”
Zhou Nan went to the bathroom to wash his hands before leaving the room.
In the living room on the second floor, Swarfs and the others were still waiting, and when they saw Zhou Nan and Audrey coming down, they hurriedly asked, "Is Princess Marita asleep?" ”
Zhou Nan nodded and said, "Yes, she is already asleep, and Mrs. Katekin is taking care of her." ”
"Then we're going to say goodbye, and I'll arrange for someone to pick them up tomorrow morning."
Sending them away, Zhou Nan sent Stolko and them all to rest, and pulled Audrey into the bedroom.
Audrey was a little weak-hearted, and when she entered the bedroom, she went into the bathroom. "I'll take a shower first......"
"Come here......"
Audrey stopped, turned her head and smiled flatteringly, "I didn't divulge our secrets, I just said that you can help Marita sleep." ”
Zhou Nan walked to her side, held her in his arms, and reached out to slap her in the ass. "It's not about it, it's about what purpose you want to bring Marita back? Don't you believe in my feelings for you? ”
Although this slap was not light, it was not heavy. Audrey said coquettishly, "I know it's wrong, I shouldn't have thought of testing you with Marita." ”
Zhou Nan was actually not angry, but a little happy.
But you can't let Audrey think about trapping him every day, it will add some fun, but it will also add some trouble.
In addition, he has never beaten her, and now he feels good and is a bit addicted, and he doesn't want to let her go like this.
