Chapter 178: The Evil Empress (38)

Zhao Jiaqi felt that the bishop was a bit of a soldier, and even if they picked up the dagger, they might not be able to recognize it as the bishop's name.

The bishop thought that this was indeed the case, and returned to the church with peace of mind.

The next day, Kyle issued a warrant for Twelve in the name of the Emperor, ordering all the people of the country to actively report and report it, and to reward all the people with a large amount of money for providing useful clues.

And the five families also received orders from Kyle.

It's just that some people are active, and some people are watching from the sidelines.

Aragorn only symbolically sent ten men to patrol his neighborhood, while the Vettels had always been friendly with Twelve, and after receiving Kyle's wanted notice, they forgot about it, and the Caroline family was even more unclear.

Among them, the most zealous to lead the hunt for the Twelve were Castilli and Hanweno.

Castilli had always been a loyal member of the Queen's party, and was loyal to the Queen's orders, but Mrs. Hanwenow objected to her husband doing such a thing.

Her maiden family is Caroline among the five major families, and compared to other minor nobles, the youngest daughter of the Caroline family married Duke Hanwenow, which should be a strong alliance.

It is precisely because of the blessing of the Caroline family that the Hanwaino family, as a rising star, can keep pace with the Campbell family.

Mrs. Hanwenow always felt that this matter was not so simple, so she planned to go back to her parents' house to see what her father and brother had to say.

Unlike other major families, the Caroline family relied on an iron fist to build the country, but relied on the strong financial resources accumulated by their ancestors in business for generations to become one of the six major families.

Therefore, the last thing the Carolin family lacks is money.

Since marrying the Duke of Hanweinau, not to mention a plummet, at least not as carefree as before, there is no need to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Looking at the glorious mansion of the Caroline family, Mrs. Hanweno had the illusion for a moment that she was still the little girl Mary, the carefree Caroline lady.

She sighed and stepped into the house.

Inside, four men, Mrs. Hanwenow's father and three older brothers, sat on the luxurious gold chairs with beaded gold.

Her father, George Caroline, was the patriarch of the family despite his advanced age, and he did not look very happy when his only daughter returned.

Mrs. Hanweno spoke: "Father, brother, I have come back this time to discuss with you on important matters. ”

George's face was calm: "If you mean the wanted warrant for Twelve Campbell, I can tell you unequivocally that the Caroline family will not wade into this troubled water, and you should not try to move soldiers from home for Hanwaino." ”

Her brothers sat down with their father's hands, listening to him in silence.

Mrs. Hanweno bit her lip and said, "Father, I didn't come back to rescue the soldiers, but to persuade the Duke not to get involved in this matter." ”

George, who had always looked down on the Duke of Hanwenow, and even had no good face for his own daughter, heard that she was going to persuade her husband himself, slapped his palm on the chair and said, "This is the purpose of your home?" Let your half-cut father lobby that bastard thing? Mary, I thought that when you got married, you should learn to settle down and learn to think about your family, but I didn't expect—"

There was a look of disappointment on his face, and Mrs. Hanwenow couldn't help but think of the past.

When the old emperor Charles was still alive, the Campbell family was the well-deserved leader of the six families, and the Hanweno family at that time did not even look down on Caroline.

Because compared to other powerful clans, the Hanweino family only has an empty shell, no money, no territory, only an ancestral duke.

Kyle, as the sole heir to the throne, racked his brains to weaken the Campbell family's position in the family, so he threw a banquet and privately matched Duke Hanweno and Mary Caroline.

George, as the head of the family, was naturally dissatisfied with this marriage, and he preferred Twelve's uncle.

However, the Duke of Hanweno and Mary fell in love, and before they got married, Mary became pregnant.

This incident became a scandal in the family, and everyone knew that the Caroline family's pampered daughter was pregnant before marriage and married Hanweno, who had no skills.

Although George was angry, there was no way, and the children had to be married.

But the Caroline family never imagined that Mary was in a bottomless pit.

The young Duke of Hanweno was addicted to gambling, and all the family's property was sold to pay off the gambling debts, and Mary dared not speak out, because it was not in line with her parents' wishes to marry in the first place, and then let them know that this son-in-law was a bad gambler, which would destroy the stability of the marriage even more.

In desperation, Mary had no choice but to borrow money with her son, who was born a few months later.

But Duke Hanweno had no bottom line, and even turned out all Mary's dowry and sold it for money.

When she returned, she found that the place was in shambles, and her precious clothes and jewelry were all gone.

None of this mattered, but the worst thing was that a mineral contract given to her by her father was gone.

You know, the Caroline family relied on this mineral to make their fortune, and it meant a lot to Mary's parents and brother.

Mary panicked and immediately went to the casino to look for Hanweno, but he was in the mood for nothing, and pushed away her with the child in his arms.

Mary's son fell to the ground, breathless.

Mary, who fell into madness because of the loss of her son, immediately fought with Hanweno, but she was a woman who was the opponent of the strong Hanweno and was knocked to the ground without noticing.

Looking at Mary with a bruised face, Hanweno seemed to be still resentful, and pulled out his dagger and stabbed her in the stomach.

George, his wife, and his three sons arrived just in time when they received the contract for their minerals at their pawnshop.

Looking at her daughter who had passed out covered in blood on the ground and her grandson who had been trampled on the side and died miserably, Mary's mother fainted at that time.

The scene was chaotic.

Mary's brother grabbed Hanweno and beat him up, and left the casino with his mother, sister, and nephew in his arms.

In the end, it was Charlie who became a peacemaker, rewarded Mary with a lot of things, and promised to give the youngest son of the Carolingian family a knighthood, and George had to give up.

But the tragedy didn't end there.

Mary's mother died shortly after returning home.

George was so traumatized that he suffered a stroke, and after he recovered, he was half-paralyzed and could no longer move on his own.

Mary stubbornly returned to Hanwaino's side, unbeknownst to others, she was never able to have children since.

Hanweno continued to live a free life with Emperor Charles's reward as if he were nothing.
