Chapter Seventy-Three: Reconfirmation

Wow!

I couldn't help but curse in my heart, he actually agreed?

In the surprised expressions of the five of us, the middle-aged maid was slightly stunned.

Then, she hugged Du Deming without hesitation and with a happy face.

Du Deming didn't react, but a few of us men subconsciously gasped.

This, what the hell is going on?

Du Deming had just turned twenty, and the middle-aged maid looked at least forty years old.

Is it really good to take advantage of other people's little boys like this?

The middle-aged maid hugged her for a long time before she finally reluctantly let go of her hand.

"Alright, we've got you covered, and if you want to hide something for a while, don't blame us for being ruthless." I looked at the maid who still looked nymphomaniac and reminded in a low voice.

The middle-aged maid nodded.

She looked down at the stack of letters in her hand and fell into memory.

"Well, that was more than ten years ago." The middle-aged maid sighed: "Actually, in this matter, as a subordinate, I really don't want to comment on who is right and who is wrong." In short, it all started with the news of the engagement between Countess Mary and Baron Nadasdi. ”

"I've heard a little about this, and my cousin Mary doesn't seem to want to marry him?" I remembered what I had seen earlier on Mary's notepad.

The middle-aged maid was stunned, and then relieved.

"You're the cousin of the Countess, and I'm sure you've heard some rumors." She looked at me, still defensive.

"So what? Why does your Countess never read a letter from her husband, but instead seals it? Wang Yi asked the doubts in his heart.

"Because, Countess Mary was born with rebellious blood." The middle-aged maid looked a little embarrassed, she looked at me, and continued: "This marriage was originally a marriage between two royal families, and Countess Mary herself hated such a free decision. So, she fought back at the beginning. ”

"Fight back?" Zhang Qiang opened his mouth curiously: "What counterattack?" ”

Glancing at Zhang Qiang, who was interrupted, I looked at her: "You ignore him and continue." ”

The maid nodded, she took a deep breath, and said with difficulty: "Your Excellency the Countess, before she got married, she was with the son of a farmer in a village not far from the castle, and she gave birth to a child. ”

Hearing this, several of us were shocked.

Unexpectedly, she would really be so resolute in order to oppose marriage.

"And what about later? Did the two cancel their engagement because of this? Zhang Qiang looked at her curiously.

I raised my hand and smashed my elbow on Zhang Qiang's ribs, glanced at the letter in the maid's hand, and was a little helpless: "You are stupid, if they cancel the engagement, will there still be such a thing as now?" ”

Zhang Qiang was not angry, he scratched his head a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, you continue, continue!" ”

"It's okay." The middle-aged maid shook her head, and then continued: "Then, as Lord Count Turso said, the two were still forced to get married under pressure from above. ”

"Ah, that's pathetic! It should be a very painful thing for two people without feelings to become husband and wife! Situ Cao sighed a little.

On the contrary, Baron Nadasdi fell in love with Countess Mary at first sight. He loved the countess with all his might. The baron's mother ordered her son to be returned to the farmer's care. I thought that this was the end of the matter, but ......" The middle-aged maid sighed again: "I thought that time would touch the heart of Countess Mary, but the baron persisted for several years, and she still closed herself to him. Although the two lived together in the castle, they rarely saw each other, except for the occasional visit from the upper nobles. ”

"But what do these things you say have to do with those letters?" I asked.

"Countess Marie shut herself up in her palace all day long, torturing her as her only pleasure in life, and many people in the surrounding villages and towns died as a result. Later, it was also rumored that she sold her soul to a demon. The middle-aged maid's eyes flashed: "The baron doesn't know any of these things, he only heard that Countess Mary sold her soul to a demon for beauty." In order to keep her, he did not hesitate to find someone to use the entire castle as a prison to imprison her. ”

"However, Countess Mary is not a vegetarian either." Zhao Qiqi smiled, as if he had guessed what was next.

"Yes, the baron's approach is improper, and if it is known to the upper echelons, it will be difficult for him to get out of it." The maid looked at Zhao Qiqi and nodded slightly: "After that, the two seemed to negotiate, and the countess agreed to his approach, but on the condition that he did not step into the castle as much as possible, because she didn't want to see his face for a moment." ”

"The Baron agrees to such harsh conditions out of love, but Countess Mary probably wouldn't have agreed to stay in the castle forever without other equal constraints?" I pondered her words, pondered.

"Tell me, apart from him trying not to show up in the castle as much as possible, what else is there about Baron Nadasdi that absolutely restricts her?" I paused, my eyes changed, and I asked, looking at the maid.

As if we had guessed some taboo, the middle-aged maid's face turned pale.

She shook her head, her body trembling a little: "No, no, I can't tell you about this. ”

Wang Yi wanted to ask something, but Zhao Qiqi stopped him.

"Forget it, there's enough information we know at the moment. What's more, I just wanted to confirm again, but when I saw her expression, I already guessed the answer. Zhao Qiqi smiled, as if he was very sure.

Wang Yi nodded and gave up asking.

I looked at the middle-aged maid who was a little nervous, and my eyes narrowed: "Now that I know everything I want to know, how will she deal with it?" ”

Zhao Qiqi was just about to speak, when Du Deming, who was expressionless, suddenly stepped forward quickly.

He took out the nunchucks on his waist, and his voice was indifferent: "Such a low-level subordinate, just kill it directly." ”

I was so frightened that I stopped him quickly, and the maid sat down on the ground in fright.

Wang Yi also stepped forward and snatched his nunchuck.

"She didn't do anything to hurt us, and we already knew what we wanted to know. There is no need to kill her. I frowned, my eyes fixed on Du Deming.

"yes, Deming, what's going on with you? It always feels weird. Wang Yi also looked at him with a puzzled expression, with a serious expression.

Du Deming turned his head in the direction of the middle-aged maid, and there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes: "What if we let her go and she tells everything?" ”

Wang Yi and I glanced at each other, and I didn't know how to respond for a while.

Just when the three of them were arguing, Zhang Qiang walked over from the side.

He raised his hand, and a hand knife slashed accurately and neatly at the back of the middle-aged maid's neck.

The maid snorted, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

"It's all my own brothers, what's the quarrel, just knock her out and tie her up, and just find a room where no one is there and lock her up?" Zhang Qiang clapped his hands and winked at me with a wicked smile.
