Chapter 83 The strength of a country depends on the monarch
Under the majestic rain, a bolt of lightning full of dark blue flashed under the night sky, and then the thunderous sound like the sky and the earth cracking sounded, spreading the kingdom and shaking the heavens and the earth.
Outside the window, the rain was pouring down, reflecting the monstrous fire in the outlaw of the station that filled the sky with red glow, and slowly extinguished the last vestiges of the fire as the downpour covered it.
Reis, who had already returned to the family with Lerthai, sat on the sofa in the study on the third floor, beside him sat Gerson and Jer, who were frowning and smoking cigarettes in their mouths, while his father, Viscount Becky, stood by the window of the study, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, silent but very heavy in his heart.
The pirates who attacked the Beirut family were ultimately in vain, not only did they not attack the Beirut family, but because of their adequate preparation and large numbers, the pirate crew suffered heavy casualties, and finally abandoned the goal of the Beirut family.
The pirates withdrew, and the brethren repelled the pirates' attack, which should have been a happy thing, but when he saw the beast bandit brothers who also suffered heavy casualties but did not complain, Becky couldn't laugh.
The four people in the room are all clear in their hearts, because it was the idea of the four to let the beast bandit brothers resist the attack of the pirates in the first line of defense, but Viscount Becky, Gerson, and Jer found that they had no sense of happiness in their hearts.
Lacey turned his head to look at his father and two uncles, who were also frowning and full of pain, and shook his head with a wry smile, not disturbing the three who were in a state of guilt.
"Get out of the way!" A woman shouted angrily outside the door of the study.
Immediately, ignoring the obstruction of Jer's men, her delicate face was full of tears, and Lucina, who was crying with red and swollen eyes, opened the closed door of the study, looked at the four people in the study, looked at Viscount Betsge standing by the window and Gerson and Jerle on the sofa, held on to the door frame and left sad tears, and complained and cried: "Why? ”
Tonight, under the attack of the pirates, in the face of the heavy casualties of the beast bandit brothers, if you want to ask who is the saddest, it is undoubtedly Lucina, who is as close to the brothers of the beast cottage as brothers and sisters.
Seeing that after the hundreds of "brothers and sisters" in the whole cottage repelled the attack of the pirates, there were only more than eighty "brothers and sisters" with broken arms and legs left, Lucina's tears did not stop flowing tonight.
Lucina is not stupid to help the old thief brother who can help Betge manage the beast cottage for many years, she knows everything about the three lines of defense arranged by the family, but in the face of the second line of defense and the third line of defense with intact personnel, and the first line of defense of the old brother of the beast and bandit with heavy casualties, Lucina faintly understands that something is wrong with this matter.
Pushing away the eldest brother Jerle and the third brother Gerson, who wanted to come up to help him, facing Betsy who turned to look at him with a painful face, Lucina stepped forward hurriedly, and a crisp slap sound sounded in the room, Lucina slapped her husband Becky hard, grabbed her husband Becky's collar and shook it and roared angrily: "Why? Why? They are your brothers and sisters, they are loyal to you, why should you do that? Why are you doing this? ”
Looking at the red slap mark on Becky's left face, Jerry was also full of helplessness, it was true that they had brought it upon themselves, but this kind of unsightly thing could not be said clearly, and seeing Lucina's raised right hand and the second brother Becky, who was full of pain but didn't want to be guarded, Jerry hurriedly strode forward and grabbed Lucina, who still wanted to slap Becky, and said angrily to Lucina, the little sister with tears on her face: "Is it enough?" ”
"Little sister, what are you doing here?" Gerson smiled wryly and stepped forward to separate Lucina and Becky.
The eldest brother Jer, the second brother Becky, and the third brother Gerson, this is the name of the three of them since they were together, and they were ranked by age by Capeam, who previously adopted the three. The younger sister Lucina was born and died with them in the early days of the beast cottage, and she had a relationship with Becky, so she affectionately called Lucina, who was the youngest of the four.
"What am I doing?" Lucina tore away the big hands of the eldest brother Jerle and the third brother Gerson, wiped the tears from her face, pointed at her husband Becky's nose and said angrily: "Don't play stupid with me, did you do it on purpose because of the heavy casualties of the brothers tonight?" ”
"Little sister, how is it possible!" Jerle and Gerson were secretly shocked, and Jerle hurriedly straightened his eyes on the bridge of his nose that were a little crooked because of pushing, and waved his hand to sign: "It's all our brothers, how can we do such a thing!" ”
This kind of thing can't be known to Lucina, and Gyer and Gerson secretly thought about it at the same time, if she really knew that it was intentional for the three of them, the years of love, and the relationship between her Lucina and Betsy would definitely dissipate over this matter.
No matter how she wiped the tears on her face, Lucina thought of her brothers and sisters who died tragically under the pirate gun and the brothers who had broken arms and legs only a few dozen meters, and her red and swollen eyes that were already crying couldn't stop the tears, and said: "Don't treat me as fools, I know exactly what the three of you are doing, Becky, if you are a man, you can tell me clearly!" ”
"And you little bastard, what do you see?" Lucina turned to look at Reis, who was sitting on the sofa with a playful and innocent face, stretched out her right hand and pointed at Reis angrily and scolded: "It's not a good thing to gloat like your mother." ”
Lucina hated people and Lena the most, remembering that at night Lena looked at the old brother of the beast thief who had suffered heavy casualties, and the sarcastic smile on her face quietly appeared, so that Lucina, who had been watching her, could see it clearly.
It's my own idea, what does it have to do with my mother Lena? It's okay to scold yourself, but it's on your mother? When Reis, who loves his family very much, heard this, Lacey, who was full of laughter on the sofa, suddenly had an angry face.
Mrs. Lina is very thoughtful, and the one who knows her husband best is not Lucina and has always been considerate of her husband Becky's heart, Lina has long seen through her husband's layout tonight, and knows that her husband is taking this opportunity to clean up the old brother of the beast bandits with the hands of pirates.
In fact, the sneering smile on the corner of Mrs. Lena's mouth at night was not aimed at the fierce beast bandit brothers who had suffered heavy casualties, looking at the scene and appearance of the fierce beast bandit brothers who had suffered heavy casualties, Lena was also secretly frightened and distressed in her heart, they were all old brothers who were loyal to her husband!
And the cause of this tragic situation is all Lucina, who has been crying all night, and she is to blame, and Lena's ridicule is completely against Lucina, who is unaware.
"Are you enough?"
A roar of rage rang out in the room.
Becky clenched his fists and glared at Lucina, who was making trouble unreasonably, because of the anger in his heart, his face was flushed with anger, and the bruises on his neck appeared.
Seeing Lucina draw the war on the innocent Lena, and roaring at her son Lacey like gunfire, Becky finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.
"Is that enough?" Looking at her angry and flushed husband Becky, Lucina laughed at herself, made a sharp voice, and screamed: "Not enough, the brothers are loyal to you, why do you want to harm the brothers, you explain it to me." ”
"We are all brothers and sisters who are like family!"
"Becky, forget it!" Jerle reached out to stop the angry Becky, not wanting Becky to make things so clear.
"Big brother, I can't make this matter clear tonight!"
Ignoring the obstruction of his eldest brother Jer, Becky yelled at Lucina, "Yes, tonight's incident was done on purpose!" ”
"Hey!" Gerson turned around and pulled up Lace, who was glaring at Lucina on the sofa, followed the eldest brother Gel out of the study, and gently closed the door of the study, leaving only Lucina and the half-decadent Becky with a face full of disbelief.
"Why? The brothers have been faithful to you, so why do you treat them like this? ”
Facing his helplessly crying wife Lucina, Becky's anger dissipated as she dissipated, and she finally loved her wife Lucina, and sighed softly.
Becky, who lost the power of the head of the family, sat on the sofa half-decadently, leaned on the soft sofa, closed his eyes and whispered: "Do you remember what I told you on the night of the fall of the Tina family a year ago!" ”
"As I said, tell you never to have the idea of replacing Lina's official wife position and replacing the two children with the eldest son of Reis!"
Looking at the decadent expression that her husband rarely showed on the sofa, and looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Lucina knew that she still loved her husband Becky after all, gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, softened her breath, and stopped being tough with her husband Becky.
"Yes, I remember, but what does that have to do with the brethren?"
"Since you and the two children entered the family, I have never treated you with deception, how I treat Lena and Lacey, I will also treat you and the two children equally!" Becky whispered about how he treated his family, his eyes closed and his brow furrowed, as if he remembered something bad. "But you have forgotten my advice, and you have been holding on to your dangerous thoughts!"
"yes, so what? Can I not even think about it? Just allow Lena to be your official wife, and follow you to other aristocratic banquets to show up and laugh with others, while I can only go out alone with a black veil mask all day long, holding the identity of a mistress and not being able to see anyone? Why is her son the future heir to your title, and why are my two sons not? ”
"I just have the idea of replacing Lena's official wife, and replacing the eldest son of the Lacey line with two children!"
Facing her husband Becky, Lucina finally confided her inner thoughts and resentment.
Yes, she is living well at home, with no worries about food and clothing, and no shortage of money. But what woman would be willing to live with the man she loves most as a mistress? What woman wants to see her son grow up and not inherit her husband's huge family and wealth because of his status as a nameless mistress?
Most of the women in the world love their sons and want to leave all the good things in the world to their children, Lena is like this, Lucina is like this, even if Anna and Lucy, who have no backers in the family.
Faced with this situation, how Lucina is not jealous and resentful.
Listening to the unrepentant words of his wife Lucina in his ears, Betsy finally said what was in his heart, straightened up and opened his eyes, looked at Lucina and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it is because you have this kind of thinking that the brothers of the beast cottage have what happened tonight!" ”
"Don't you really want to know why I'm doing this? Well, let me tell you, because the brothers of the beast cottage have been under your leadership for many years, and they have faintly disobeyed the orders of our three brothers! Yes, we three brothers don't mind this, because you are my woman, and there is not much difference between listening to you and listening to me. ”
"But you shouldn't have that idea of replacing it, the brothers of the beast cottage in order to satisfy your selfish desires, secretly gathered together in private to discuss how to help you get into the main room of the family, how to think about getting rid of the future viscount my son Lacey."
Syllable! The sound of slamming the table.
"So why get rid of them on purpose?" Betsy squinted her eyes, looked at Lucina with a sneering expression on the corner of her mouth, and shouted fiercely: "Because they have thoughts that they shouldn't have, what is the difference between moving Reis and moving me?" Don't forget that without me, Jer, and Gerson, they would have died at the hands of those black-hearted businessmen who trafficked in human beings, and I owe them nothing! ”
"Want to kill my family, whoever it is? The idea of beating my family, even if it is an old brother who has lived and died with me for decades, their fate is only death. ”
"That's why you've always wanted to! Thinking that you are my wife, put away your dangerous thoughts that have killed hundreds of people before it is too late! ”
