Chapter 261: They're All Chips
This manor house on the outskirts of Marseille occupies a very large area.
It was more than enough to house these widows.
And that large area of fertile land is enough to bring them a life of abundant food and clothing, and they no longer have to worry about silver coins.
At the same time, there were already more than 500 indentured slaves cultivating that land, and they didn't have to worry about it. It can be said that Mary has done everything she can do, which is a very happy person for ordinary people.
But as the leader of these widows, the oldest woman in the Samuel family today, she did not see it that way.
Queen Mary is notoriously ruthless, and she has always been a peer of Quebec in the Americas, and has been making small moves behind her back.
All the males of the Samuel family are dead, which is not unrelated to Queen Mary.
Even all the plans against the Samuel family were all planned and ordered by Queen Mary.
The old woman was very sure of this.
Sara decides to go to the American continent and regain control of the territory in their hands, and she knows how to do the last thing she can do.
Although I am not very optimistic about such an action, it was the best choice under the circumstances.
There is a way that instead of sitting still, it is better to fight to the death.
Even if you fail at the end, at least you have worked hard for it.
Shortly after Sara left for America, two months later, the women were taken into custody and imprisoned in a dark dungeon.
And the families of the officials of the American Territories who were originally captured by them were also rescued by the nobles and royalty.
At that time, the old woman knew that their plan had failed.
Sara has lost her life in the Americas, and she doesn't even know where her body is buried.
Oh, maybe they didn't even bury the corpses, but just left them in the wilderness, to be eaten by the beasts.
So, the old woman had resigned herself to her fate. She knew she had failed completely.
The result of this failure is that the Samus family will disappear from history.
Just as he was waiting in the dungeon for the time of death, suddenly things took a turn for the worse.
The prison staff, who had a bad attitude towards these women, seemed to have changed their minds.
This change makes people feel abrupt, and even a little unaccustomed.
From that time on, the old woman felt that things might not be as she thought.
Now they have even been released and placed in a beautiful estate.
The old woman is not stupid, no matter how she says she has lived to be more than sixty years old, and she can see something with some clues.
After the Samuel family lost power, those who had befriended Lu in the past avoided them one by one. When they are like roadside ones, it's enough. This also made them taste the warmth and coldness of human affection, as well as the coldness of the world.
Those guys who owe debts simply turn their faces one by one and don't admit it.
Because everyone knows that the Samuel family will be eradicated by Queen Mary, so why should those debts be repaid?
Therefore, they were released by Queen Mary, and it was definitely not the result of the help of those former 'friends', who wanted them to die immediately.
Because if they die, then those who owe money won't have to pay their debts to the Samuels, right?
These musketeers. After sending the women of the Samuel family to the manor, they left with the caravan.
The stewards and servants of the manor had seen the women, and then the old woman had found an excuse to send them to work.
And these women. They gathered in the guest room with their hearts in mind and had a small discussion about what happened to them.
The men of the Samuel family died, so the women became the principals.
Except for the girls who are useless and have no brains, and who are still young. At least five women were gathered here.
"Mother, what the hell do you think Queen Mary is doing?"
The daughter of the eldest of the Samuel family, one is about fifteen years old. The long, pink-carved girl with a pair of blue eyes asked the old woman first.
"Mary doesn't have a temperament to do such a thing, and I think there must be a reason why we don't know how to do it. Unfortunately, the coachmen and musketeers on the way here would not say much, so I could not get more useful information. ”
The girl looked at the old woman with pity and said.
The other women were silent, they were all waiting for the old woman's answer.
In the eyes of these women, it is the old woman who has some ideas and can make decisions.
And Sarah, who originally had some ability, still doesn't know whether she is alive or dead.
"I don't know, it's weird that all this is happening. And it's very unreasonable, but I think it has something to do with Sarah, maybe it's what happened to her in the Americas that made Queen Mary jealous. The old woman said what she had always thought was possible.
It has to be said that the old woman's intuition was accurate.
The reason why they picked up a life is really related to Sarah, who is far away on the American continent.
It's just a pity that they don't know anything about it.
"We'd better not act rashly now, until things are clear, those girls and those little ones who you restrain yourself and those who are not born." The old woman stood up and walked to the window and looked out through the window.
She saw that outside the manor, there were a lot of people hiding there.
It looked as if they were watching them.
"Maybe we're under house arrest, but it's better than losing our lives. Now I think the answer to everything will only be known when Sara returns. ”
The old woman withdrew her gaze and spoke to the women of her guess, and her judgment.
In the days that followed, some of the old woman's words were verified.
Sure enough, as she said, the women couldn't leave the manor at all, and every time they went outside, they were stopped by the watchdogs.
Of course, these interceptors were very polite, and they didn't embarrass the women too much.
Even if these women are angry with them, they are also pleasant.
But there is only one point, and it is absolutely impossible to come up with it.
At this point, the women are considered to know the truth, and they are now under house arrest by Queen Mary. And these people are likely to become bargaining chips for blackmailing Sarah, that is, handles.
I don't know what did Sara do on the American continent to make Queen Mary so jealous of her, and she had to use these widows to blackmail her.
But the women are at least a little relieved now, that is, they have no worries about their lives for the time being.
Although his freedom is restricted, he doesn't have to be in the dark dungeon with the rancid and filthy of rats.
Unlike the sorrows of the adults, the children are very happy.
For these little girls, as long as they don't continue to live in the horrible dungeon, they don't have to look at those fierce people.
It's a paradise and they love it.
As for the restriction of freedom, let them be restricted.
There's nothing remarkable about it.
The stewards and servants of the manor, no matter what the women asked, they just shook their heads and couldn't give them an answer.
At this point, the women gave up.
lived the kind of pig life of eating, sleeping, and eating.
Even if they don't want to live like this, they can't do it.
Only the old woman was on the second floor every day, leaning up against the windowsill and looking out, as if waiting for something.
Yes, she was waiting for Sarah.
She longed for the day when Sara could be seen down the straight road from the manor's main entrance and tell them the truth.
Don't look at the old woman who lives in the manor now, and every day seems to be breezy and breezy.
In fact, she was still very worried in her heart.
She was afraid that something would happen to her, and that they would fall into despair again, who had seen hope.
Therefore, the old woman prayed in her heart every day, hoping that God would bless Sarah, bless the troubled Samus family, and bless them as women and children.
In the courtyard outside the manor, several little girls in white tufts were strolling there.
They were the youngest of the Samues.
Although all the men of the Samus family are dead, the women are still there.
As long as they are alive, there is still hope for everything.
Mary, what is it that made you, a ruthless woman, make the choice she makes now?
It seems that you must be very jealous of Sarah, otherwise you wouldn't have let us go.
I wish everything was revealed, and I wanted to see your hypocritical face.
The old woman stood by the bed, muttering to herself.
And the protagonist of the old woman's mouth, Ms. Sarah, is on his way to Quebec with his little lover at this moment, with a guard army of 800 Chinese genetics.
Chelsea, with his sailors, sailed Manhattan's only battleship, the King of the Seas, from Manhattan to the north to find the mouth of the St. Lawrence River and the Atlantic Ocean to Quebec.
In this way, Zhao Hongyu and Sara, as well as Emma and Wang Shan, can go directly to Europe by boat after finishing the matter on the Quebec side.
"I have heard that Queen Mary has released the women of the Samue family and placed them on a manor house outside Marseille. You don't have to worry about them now, my dear. ”
Sitting on horseback, Zhao Hongyu and Sara chatted.
Little Emma was chattering with her own Moxican maid, and she didn't know what she was talking about, but she was very happy.
"They're just chips in Mary's hands to blackmail me, and they're under house arrest at that manor. Either way, it's much better than staying in a dungeon and being surrounded by rat rot. ”
Sara wasn't stupid, she knew Mary's tricks.
She also understands the current situation of those women in the Samuel family. (To be continued.) )
