"Linsey, my good nephew! I can't believe you're coming to see your uncle. Quick, come in!"

After following the servant who opened the door through a rockery garden, Lin Xi saw the familiar figure in the hall.

"Hello, Uncle Nicholas. ”

Seeing the warm and kind uncle, Lin Xi seemed to have found a support, and couldn't help but have a sour nose and was about to cry.

As soon as he saw Lynsey's expression, Nicholas immediately realized that something was wrong, and then looked behind him, and he didn't find the eldest brother he was thinking about all the time, and a strange feeling quickly arose in Nicholas's heart.

"Lynsey, where's my big brother Bird?"

"Uncle Nicholas. Lynsey couldn't control herself anymore and cried out with a "wow".

"Kid, what's wrong, don't cry yet, tell me what's going on?" Nicholas put his arm around Lynsey and patted Lynsey on the back gently, his voice soft but full of anxiety.

Hearing his uncle's words, Lin Xi raised his head, his blue eyes filled with tears, "Uncle, my father, my father is no longer here!"

Like a thunderbolt from a sunny day slammed into his heart, Nicholas only felt a dizziness in his head, and after staggering and barely standing still, Nicholas had tears in his eyes and asked sadly: "Linsy, are you telling the truth? Big brother really...... Really dead?"

Lynsey nodded in pain, holding back her grief, and Lynsey told the story in the hall.

The whole process was extremely difficult, not only did Lynsey have to endure great grief, but Nicholas also couldn't control himself from time to time, and several times he was in tears of pain.

This hot-blooded man who has been accustomed to battlefield battles all his life and has seen many scenes of life and death parting, but this time he can't keep his heart with the iron will of a soldier at peace.

He didn't even want to believe it was true.

"Linsey, what did you do with the bodies of the three eldest brothers?" Nicholas said slowly, rubbing his big calloused hands unconsciously.

"Cremated, I put the ashes in a secure place on the estate. ”

"Hey!" Nicholas sighed, "I didn't expect my eldest brother to leave so suddenly, I can't even see him for the last time, this, this will be the pain of my life!"

After the sad Nicholas sighed, his tone suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Linsy, do you know what those bastards grow like?

Nicholas's square face was slightly distorted with anger, and his copper-colored skin was tense, as if fire could come out of every pore.

"I don't know, the two well-wishers who saved me didn't see it, and my father didn't say much when he was dying, but he just said that there were eight murderers, led by an old man in black. ”

Nicholas clenched his fists and stood up from his seat with a "boom". "His grandmother's, these brutes! find out, I have to screw off their heads one by one and put them in front of the eldest brother's spiritual seat!"

"I'll let them get their retribution. Uncle, do you know who the family usually has a grudge with?"

Lynsey turned to Nicholas and asked him now, and now he refused to let go of any opportunity to learn about the enemy.

Nicholas shook his head and replied, "The eldest brother has always refused to tell me about your Yuke family, lest he drag me into it. Three years ago, you lived a good life in Yanjing but suddenly decided to move your family, and I asked my eldest brother several times at that time, but my eldest brother was still like that, and he would never tell me the slightest relevant news. I think this tragedy has something to do with the forced eviction three years ago. ”

"Now that I think about it, I really regret it, and I hate myself so much, why didn't I find out the root cause in the first place? When you settled down in Jessi City, I didn't take this matter too seriously, but continued to live in the army. I, what a bastard!"

Speaking of this, Nicholas's face was full of self-reproach and remorse.

"Uncle Nicholas, don't blame yourself like this, you are good to us, we all know in our hearts, otherwise my father would not have called me to come to you, uncle. ”

Nicholas's face softened slightly, but when he heard the word "take refuge", Nicholas's expression changed drastically.

"What does it mean to take refuge? Lin Xi, you must not think like this! Did I receive little favor from my eldest brother back then? Even this cheap life on my body belonged to my eldest brother! Now that my eldest brother is gone, I am very happy that his only son can think of me as an uncle. Linxi, if you don't mind, just treat this place as a new home, I won't talk about sensationalism, but I still know about gratitude, not to mention that you are the son of the eldest brother. ”

"Thank you, uncle. Lynsey said gratefully, and her lonely and painful heart had begun to warm up slowly since she came here.

"Butler Monroe, come in. ”

An old man dressed in a well-dressed costume with a solemn expression entered the hall in response.

"From today on, Lin Xi is the young master in the mansion, and you will call him Young Master Lin Xi in the future. ”

Monroe bowed slightly and nodded yes.

"Young Master Linxi, it's good. In the future, if the young master needs anything, just tell Monroe. ”

Lin Xi hurriedly stood up, and said almost a little helplessly: "Steward Monroe, please don't say that. ”

Monroe smiled, still respectfully said, "Young Master, Monroe will go out first to tidy up the room for Young Master Linxi." ”

After Monroe withdrew, Nicholas said, "Linxi, you can relax and sleep well, you should be tired from running along the way." As for the rest of the matter, let's find another time to discuss it. ”

When Lynsey had woken up, Nicholas had the servant bring out the sumptuous dishes and set the table.

After dinner and the servants were gone, Nicholas and Lynsey stayed in the dining room and continued to talk.
