It's already May, and the early summer weather is a bit muggy, and the cicadas are echoing everywhere, making everything full of life.

At the Marquis de Treville, today is much more lively than usual.

"Be careful, don't break Miss's painting tools!" In the midst of the busy servants, Mademoiselle de léo Léoland exclaimed, "These tools must be carefully packed, and the paints must be well divided, and the colors must not be mixed, otherwise it will be troublesome, and there will be no way to get so many paints there!" ”

At her instruction, the servants sorted and packed Fran's painting utensils, and piled them up with the rest of the salutes that had already been packed, as they were soon to travel to England.

After watching that everything was in order, Mary thanked the servants for their hours of hard work.

"Thank you, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, anyway, the things used by the young lady are not heavy," replied a maid with a smile on her face, "but you have to work hard, and you have to take care of the young lady along the way......"

"Well, I will." Mary nodded, "However, it's not hard, Fran is not a child anymore, I can still follow her to the outside to see the world!" ”

"You're right, Mademoiselle is so docile, even if she goes far away, she won't make a lot of noise, and she won't cause you much trouble......" The maid first agreed with Mary's opinion, and then suddenly frowned again, and looked at Mary with some concern, "But please be careful." Don't let Miss have another accident...... What happened last time made everyone worry about it! ”

The servants' worries were heartfelt, for Fran had almost grown up watching, and they were all very fond of this beautiful and gentle young lady. So they're all very worried about Fran.

None of them knew what kind of unscrupulous existence the young lady they saw as such a lovely and docile lady was secretly. Because of this, they were both happy and looking forward to Fran going out for a walk, and they were also a little worried and disappointed that the young lady was going away.

After hearing the servant's admonition, Mary froze slightly, apparently remembering some bad memories as well. Then he forced a laugh. "Oh, don't worry, I'll be watching her. No surprises will happen! Besides, first of all, I also took into account the safety of the young lady, so I specially sent someone to protect it. ”

That's right, Charles also sent people to protect them all the way. Of course. Protection is only one aspect, and the other is to keep an eye on Fran so that she doesn't make a big surprise when she is caught off guard.

"Really? That's great! Because he didn't know the secret, the maid was overjoyed, "Sure enough, Mr. has always been so protective of Miss!" ”

It's really loving enough, no wonder my sister is so obsessed. Mary thought to herself.

"Okay, I'll go first." A moment later. She drained her thoughts, and then went to say goodbye to the servant. "Hurry up and send someone to load the salute into the carriage first, remember to handle it with care, so as not to damage the painting tools......"

"Okay, I understand."

……………………

When Mary arrives in Fran's bedroom, she finds her trying on clothes in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

She was wearing a pale yellow lace skirt with wide sleeves, and a white floral dress in her hand, and she was comparing in front of the mirror, obviously not knowing which one to wear.

"Mary, you've come just in time! Can you help me see which one goes best with me? I've been choosing a ...... for a long time," after seeing Mary appear in the mirror, Fran shouted a little cheerfully, "I'll have to choose several pieces today, or I'll be in trouble......"

Judging from her voice, she is in high spirits now, and she is obviously looking forward to her future trip to the UK.

Obviously, Fran, who had rekindled hope in life because of Charles's decision, finally regained her usual brightness, and her face was a little more bloody.

"Well......" Mary looked at Fran in the mirror, and then came to a conclusion, "It all looks good!" Bring both sets with you, and they'll dazzle the British......"

"Oh? Are you sure? I said, well, I think both of them are pretty too......" Fran was even happier because of Mary's encouragement, "Okay, as you say, I'll bring both." Let's go ahead and pick the rest of ......."

"Oh no, not now." Seeing that Fran still wanted to continue to help choose clothes by herself, Mary hurriedly interrupted her, "What more important things have to be done now?" ”

"Huh?" Fran was a little confused, and finally turned her head to look at Mary strangely, "What's wrong?" ”

"Hmm...... Today...... She's coming. Mary replied hesitantly, "She didn't say it beforehand, and I just found out about it." ”

At that moment, Mary felt the expression on Fran's face change.

No, the smile hasn't changed, it's still so beautiful.

But Mary always felt that the joy in this smile had disappeared, leaving only a sneer that revealed arrogance and cunning.

"Oh? I didn't expect her to want to see me so soon? With a mocking sneer, Fran replied calmly, "Well, it's not bad to settle with her before you go to England...... Okay, where is she? Take me there, I can't wait to see her face that would like to bite me to death......"

"Fran...... Actually......" Mary hesitated a little at this time, "let's not see her, right?" She's so bad-hearted, let's not have anything to do with her. ”

"I wasn't going to do anything with her, was I? It's just to say goodbye to her and settle the previous grievances by the way. Still smiling, Fran replied, "I know you're not going to be reassured, so stay by...... Now, I'm still a little scared if I'm really left alone with her......"

After a few more moments of hesitation, Mary finally nodded. "Okay...... In that case, let's go and meet her. But let's say first, first, I'm going to be there all the time, and second, you can't talk for long. Otherwise, when the time comes, we will both be in trouble......"

Since Charles ordered Fran's house arrest lifted, Mary was actually the only one in charge of keeping an eye on her, so as long as Mary didn't say anything, no one would know what she had done - only for a short time, of course.

"Okay, that's it!" Fran grabbed Mary's hand. "Then let's go over now, don't let her wait!"

And just like that, the two girls walked all the way out the back door. They didn't go far, and then they saw the guests waiting in an alley.

"Long time no see, Miss de Beauwon, are you alright?" Fran greeted her with a gentle smile. Then step by step in front of her. "I miss you so much after so long no see."

However, unlike Fran's courteous and polite appearance, Lola's face was extremely difficult to see, and she did not mean to return the gift at all.

Perhaps because of her recent poor spirits, her face was a little pale, and her face was always expressionless, and now her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.

Compared to before. Her domineering attitude seemed to be getting stronger. After seeing Fran and the others, she never spoke. Just looked at Fran coldly.

The injury seemed to be healed, and his complexion was too good to be feasted, and judging from the gait of the walkers, even his legs were not lame.

What a shame.

What's even more terrifying is that she even sued Mary about it.

When she received Mary's contact, Lola was in a panic almost all of her life, and it was not until she was finally convinced that she would not pass it on to anyone else.

But...... In the future, will this willful and reckless lady really not sue others again? There was no more certainty in her mind.

In the end, it will still be sad for you...... This pair of hateful brother and sister!

"Looks like you're disappointed that I'm still healthy, right?" Although the other party was very rude, Fran didn't care, "It will frighten me to put on such a face when we meet, Miss de Beauwon......"

"Hmph, I'm disappointed." Lola interrupted her, "Do you expect me to think anything different?" Okay, tell me, what's the matter with calling me over this time? Don't think you can threaten me with this kind of thing again, your brother and I have already written it off - you've already fallen once and you're seriously injured, you won't want to do it again, right? ”

"Don't worry, I'm not here to talk about unpleasant things." Fran shook her head, "On the contrary, I am willing to let this qiē be sealed in the dust, so that our friendship will not be damaged by this......"

"There is no friendship between me and you, and everything has been written off." Lola interrupted her again, "Since you're not trying to blackmail me, then tell me something......

Fran and Mary looked at each other, and they both thought Lola's attitude was too strange. It stands to reason that after hearing that Fran no longer intends to demand herself, even if she still has a grudge, she should not be so blunt in her attitude.

Could it be that she is so impersonal? Both were a little confused.

Forget it, leave her alone.

Not to mention that rescuers can be summoned at any time, even from the perspective of the people present now, they have a two-to-one advantage, and they are not afraid of what tricks Lola will do.

"Well, since you say so, then I'll get down to business." After a few moments, Fran reopened, "I've thought about a lot of things since I was seriously injured, and I'm going to change a few things. For me...... This is also a new beginning in life, so I want to reconcile with you and seal all the foolish things I committed when I was young in my memory, I think, this is also the result that you are happy to see, right? ”

"Reconciliation?" Lola was noncommittal, "That sounds pretty good. ”

It's too late, and now I've sworn to strangle both of you siblings.

"That's what you think? That's great. Fran suddenly pulled out a stack of papers from behind her back and handed it to Lola, "This is the letter you sent me, I'll return it to you now." ”

This guy still has his letters? You've been thinking about dealing with me since the beginning...... Lola was heartbroken again. Then he took the letters.

Then, with a hint of anger and mockery, she glanced at Fran, "Those letters you gave me. I burned it in the first place, so please forgive me for not being able to return it to you. ”

Although the language of these letters is very vague, if they are obtained by someone who cares. It must be impossible to hide from their eyes, so if you take such a risk, you have to save it, which shows that the other party has always had bad intentions.

"Don't be so angry, Miss de Beauwon." Seeing that the other party was still so angry, Fran couldn't help but laugh again, "Although I have caused you a lot of trouble, judging from the results. Isn't it all good for you now? The secret you wish to keep has been kept, and I've learned a big lesson......"

"As a result, you plan to stay out of it like this, and abandon the qiē that you have worked so hard for?" Lola looked at Fran with some strange eyes.

Since being refreshed by the other party's table. She didn't think the other party was such a person.

"It's already my own business, and you can neither help nor interfere." Fran gave a vague reply, "Still." You just said that there is no way to give me a gift in return. That's wrong, you still have something to give me back......"

"What?"

"The painting I gave you." Fran replied in a low voice.

Lola immediately understood.

It seems that she really wants to cut off her involvement in the crime, and she doesn't care anymore.

Suddenly, an unspeakable anger rose in Lola's heart.

It would have been nice if you had done this earlier!

"That painting, now in my father's possession, decided to collect it himself." After a moment, she replied coldly. "I want to give you back......"

"Huh?" Fran and Mary snorted at the same time, then looked at each other uneasily.

Under the persuasion of Mary. Fran decided not to have anything to do with Lola again, and took everything that could be harmful to herself from Lola's hands, but she didn't expect that it had evolved to such a point that she couldn't completely get rid of it.

It is difficult to recover when covered with water, which is indeed a wise saying in the world.

Seeing that both of them were a little discolored, Lola couldn't help but feel a little ridicule in her heart.

"Since it hasn't been a problem for so long, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong now," she said coldly, looking at Fran coldly, "My father just planned to keep it because it was so good." ”

"If that's the case, it's fine......" Fran breathed a sigh of relief.

"If that's all you want to say to me, then that's the end of the conversation......" Lola looked impatient and unwilling to stay with them longer, "I'll have something to do later, so I'll have to leave first." Miss Treville, I wish you a pleasant trip to England. ”

"Do you even know that?" Fran smiled bitterly, "Looks like you're really concerned about me." ”

"Life is at stake, how dare I not pay attention?" Lola replied with a sneer.

"I'd love the ship to sink, or would you rather do it yourself?" Seeing the other party's arrogant appearance, Fran couldn't help but make mockery again.

"If I had the chance, I'd like to give it a try...... It's just that now is not the time, and I'm afraid my father will know. I don't know if it's a joke, Lola replied coldly.

"Oh? Huh, really? Then I'll have to be careful along the way! Knowing that the other party was joking, Fran laughed. Do I have to worry about eating in the future? Maybe one day he will disappear as quietly as the enemies of the Bolkiah family...... Still, I don't think you'd do such an irrational act, would you? ”

This is also one of the reasons why she brought Mary out, both to reassure Mary and to demonstrate to Lola, lest the other party continue to be unrelenting.

She didn't think that Lola's hatred for her had been ingrained in her for another reason - though at the moment, because there were other more important things to do, there was no way to kill her.

After laughing for a moment, the smile on Fran's face returned to Yan Sù, "Okay, from today onwards, the two of us won't have anything to do with each other, right?" It seems to me that we have reconciled and will no longer interfere with each other—and good luck in the future, Miss de Beauwon. ”

Under the expectant gaze of the two people, a bright smile suddenly appeared on Lola's face. It was a big smile she almost never had to show.

"Well, yes, as you say, we are reconciled, Mademoiselle de Treville! Good luck in the future! (To be continued......)
