Lynn bit her lip and didn't answer, a "Who are you?" that looked like her brother's. Are you in league with these bad guys? I tell you, my future brother-in-law is very powerful, if you dare to hurt my sister, I will ask him to beat you! ”

"Stop!" His father scolded in a low voice, turned his head and stared at Minna with a wary gaze, and then looked at the housekeeper's housekeeper's face with some disdain: "What future brother-in-law?" Stop dreaming! Our young master will not marry such a pariah! ”

As soon as he said this, Catherine's family's faces became ugly, and her mother looked at her daughter in disbelief: "What's the matter?" Master Bewen, he... Isn't he the son of a rich merchant? ”

Minna also asked Catherine, "Didn't Brother Bevin tell you?" He said he would confess to you! ”

Catherine was still silent, and her father was furious: "It's too much! Even if he is the benefactor of our family, he can't play with my daughter like this! I'm not that kind of person! He turned back to his sons and said, "Go!" Go pack your things! We don't live in the house he bought! ”

The teenagers looked at each other, hesitating and not knowing whether to respond, Catherine had red eyes, and ran over to hug her father Egan's arm: "Dad, don't be like this, he didn't lie to me, I already knew that he was a nobleman, I was willing to be with him, and he agreed, and he would not abandon me"

"You, you, you..."Egan was angry and anxious, "are you crazy?!" How could nobles and commoners get married?! Do you want to be his mistress! If that's the case, I'd rather kill you now! He picked up a broom and was about to hit his daughter, but his wife pounced on him and stopped him, "Don't fight, don't fight, ask things clearly!" ”

She turned her head and looked at her daughter sternly: "Say! Do you know that Young Master Bei Wen is a nobleman, why do you lie to us that he is the son of a rich merchant?! ”

Catherine said with tears in her eyes, "I'm afraid you'll object... He's not the only heir in the family, he has a younger brother, and, he—" she bit her lip and stopped, "Anyway, we've discussed the future, and there will be no problem"

"Then you shouldn't hide it from us!"

"Mom!" Catherine couldn't hold back her tears, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just... Because you and Dad didn't like his grandfather, we... I decided to keep it a private hiatus..."

"His grandfather?" Her mother was stunned and immediately guessed the answer: "You mean... He's really... That guy and grandson?! Her face suddenly turned pale and she glanced at her husband anxiously

Egan had changed his face and shouted to his son again: "Pack up now, let's leave today!" ”

"Daddy!" "Wait a minute!" Minna shouted at the same time as Catherine shouted, "Is there anything wrong with Cousin Bevin being grandpa's grandson?" She looked at the couple who suddenly fell silent suspiciously, "Forget it, I'm not interested in your family's affairs, but I can't agree to you taking your daughter away like this," she turned back and asked the housekeeper, "Where is Cousin Bewen now?" ”

The butler leaned closer, bent down and whispered, "Young Master Bewen is still in the Knight's Mansion, I'm afraid he won't go home so early, Miss Minna, if you let these people leave, Madame, I will be very happy"

"Really? But I'm going to be upset! Minna replied coldly, and she turned to Catherine, "Sister Catherine, don't worry, I'll find someone to inform my cousin right away, and he will take care of this matter."

Catherine's eyes immediately showed gratitude, but her mother said, "No, since Young Master Bevin's mother wants to see you, you can go and mother accompany you."

Her husband and children looked at her in amazement, and the former exclaimed, "Lila! ”

"Egan, I'm going to accompany my daughter to make things clear," Lila looked very determined, "they can't be together, I don't want our daughter to be hurt"

Egan pursed her lips and nodded with difficulty, and Lelah turned to stare at the butler, "Did your lady ask you to invite us to be a guest?" ”

The butler was confused by her sudden change of attitude, and stammered a little: "When... Of course it is, you... Ahem, let's get in the car."

Lila nodded, took off her apron, tidied up her clothes, and dragged her daughter into the carriage, and the butler immediately ordered the servants to close the door and set off, Minna was dumbfounded, and did not understand how things could suddenly become like this, and with a roll of her eyes, she immediately ran away, found an informant on the nearby street, asked him to go to the knight's office to bring the letter, and then quickly rushed to the mansion of the Kaduo

When she arrived, Catherine and her daughter had already been welcomed into the small reception room, and Felder turned uneasily outside the door, and as soon as he saw her, he rushed over: "My brother's secret has been revealed!" He hasn't cut off the relationship with that woman yet, and his mother seems to be very angry, what should he do?! ”

Minna reassured him, then knocked on the door and entered the room, only to see Catherine and her mother Lila standing at the tea table, a little at a loss, while Lilith Beryl and Manda were sitting on the sofa, the first two looked at Catherine with critical eyes, the latter had a worried face, and when she saw Minna come in, she immediately got up: "Minna, are you here?" She smiled and said to Lilith, "Mother, come here, Minna, can you put this matter down first?" ”

Lilith glanced at her, then Minna, and greeted noncommittally, "Coming?" Sit down, Melissa, pour an extra cup of tea."

"Yes, ma'am"

Minna frowned and sat down on the chair next to them, and before she could speak, Lilith said to Catherine, "Are you my son's civilian lover?" It's a pity that you're a village girl, and my son's vision is too bad, so why did he fall in love with you? ”

Catherine bowed her head and didn't dare to speak, Leigh

One step forward: "Madame..."

"Alright," Lilith ignored and waved her hand, "I heard you're planning to leave Ito and go back home, right?" Butler, give them a hundred gold coins, let them move out early, it is true that for such a trivial matter, I have been delayed so much, the Marquise of Kirtas specially invited me to the salon tonight, I can't be late to Beryl, Manda, go back to the room and change clothes"

Beryl glanced at the others a few times, answered and left the salon tonight, it was important to hear that the eldest prince's aunt would also attend, the eldest prince had not contacted her since he recovered from his injury, she had to find a chance to meet him, and tell him that she was not willing to waste time on her brother's scandal with the nobles now

Manda stayed where she was, hesitatingly not moving: "Mother... Is that okay? Minna also said, "Auntie, don't you want to ask your cousin what he means?" ”

"Ask him what he means?!" Lilith sneered, "Do I still have to promise him to marry this woman?!" She turned her head to stare at Catherine and said sharply, "Listen, little girl, and your lowly dear, do you know how noble my son Bevan is?!" His grandmother is the daughter of a nearly 300-year-old earl family, and his grandfather is a famous epic hero in the whole continent! His maternal grandfather was a duke who had been passed down for 18 generations! My grandmother is also a famous lady! He was admitted to the knighthood at the age of fourteen, and at the age of twenty-one he became the vice-captain of the Royal Knights, with the title of knight, and he was the heir to two illustrious families! His wife must be a daughter from a famous family, whether it is appearance, family background, manners, demeanor, knowledge, talent, and conduct... It's all the best choice."

She walked up to Catherine, sneered and picked up the other party's chin, and said contemptuously: "And what kind of thing are you, I have already investigated the poor people from the mountains north of Noga, or the refugees of Siko!" If it weren't for my son, your family would have starved to death in the wilderness! Since he's kind, I wouldn't mind if he gets some pleasure from you... But! Don't be delusional! You don't deserve him! ”

"Mother!" Manda couldn't help but shout, Minna looked at Catherine's pale face, and trembling lips, and then looked at Lila's almost bloodless face, and couldn't help but feel indignant at Lilith: "Aunt! You're talking too much! She's someone your cousin really likes, how can you treat her like that?! ”

"Shut up, Minna!" Lilith turned her head angrily and glared at her, "This is our family business, you don't have to worry about it!" ”

Minna shut up, she got up angrily and walked out, ignoring Manda's call from behind, and went out of the room, but did not leave immediately, nor did she answer Felder's question, but rushed to the window to look into the distance, and saw a familiar figure galloping towards the door, and hurriedly ran towards the door, and as soon as she saw Bewen rushing in, she quickly told her what had happened, and asked, "Is there anything you can do?" ”

"It's okay, don't worry" Bewen gave her a soothing smile, and hurried to the small reception room, "Mother! ”

In the small reception room, Lilith turned around and changed her smile: "Back?" It's a nice day, are you going to come with me to the salon? The two nieces of the Marquise de Kirtas will also be here today, they are both talented and good-looking ladies, can you meet them? If it's suitable, make a marriage contract early" She glanced at Catherine faintly: "Lest someone take advantage of the loophole"

Catherine looked at Bevin with big eyes, who nodded slightly, and her face immediately showed a look of joy, as if relieved

Lilith sensed that something was wrong and asked her son in surprise, "What?" Is there something going on that I don't know about?! ”

Bewen lowered his head with some guilt, knelt down on one leg in front of her, and said, "Mother, I'm sorry for hiding this from you, in fact... I have submitted the paperwork a few days ago to apply for a transfer to the border area, and today the official appointment order has finally come down for me... Soon we will be on our way to the northern border."

"What did you say?!" Lilith was shocked, looked at Catherine, and suddenly realized, "Are you here for this woman?!" In order to be with her, you don't hesitate to abandon your parents and family?! You're crazy! I'm telling you, I don't allow it! Even if you run to the edge of the sky, don't think that I will accept a pariah daughter-in-law! ”

"Mother!" Bewen said with some excitement, "Why don't you just deny her if you don't know her merits?" I know what kind of daughter-in-law you have, noble, well-dressed, elegant, well-informed... Just like you, but I... I really don't like that I'm going to take a wife, isn't it important that I'm lucky? Why do you always make decisions on my behalf? ”

"What do you know?" Lilith said angrily, "What is your identity?" How can you choose a wife casually? I'm thinking about you too! ”

"But Mother, since I was twelve years old, you and my father have been 'thinking of me', and you have asked me to do my best in everything, and my father has made me as brave as my grandfather, and you have been able to learn from my grandfather's erudition, but... I'm just me, maybe I have a little talent, but I'm not a great person, I do my best to do my best, but you and my father only ask me to do better, I'm tired, my mother lives like this every day according to other people's expectations, I don't see any meaning in my life! ”

Lilith looked at her son in shock: "You..."

Bei Wen calmed down a little: "Mother, I have been thinking about it for a long time, the road that you and my father arranged for me is very smooth and smooth, but I walk on it, no matter how hard I try, even if I almost lose my life under the claws of the demonic beast, I will not be recognized by others!" Why should I live like this? Rather than be a vase in the Royal Knights for the rest of my life, I'd rather go to the provinces, to the frontier

Under the aristocratic outer garment, I really start from the bottom and I want to prove it to myself, I, Bevan... Cardo, it is not relying on the glory of his grandfather and family that he has got today's results! ”

Lilith covered her mouth: "Oh, my child...", she was a little excited, a little relieved, but not yet lost her mind: "Even if this is the case, you don't need to go that far, and, this woman..."

"Mother! How many of the current aristocratic daughters are willing to endure hardships? Catherine and I truly love each other, and I firmly believe that with her, I can get a happy mother, compared to the glory brought by the marriage with a famous family, a son of Se, a daughter-in-law who can work together with Sese's son, isn't it more worthy of your pride? ”

Lilith looked at her son, and suddenly understood what he meant, he was going around in circles! wants to create merit outside to force his husband and wife to admit that this daughter-in-law from a civilian background, her son who has always been well-behaved and filial, how could she become so cunning?!

Seeing that her mother was so angry that she couldn't speak, Bei Wen hugged her guiltily and gently put her on the sofa: "I'm sorry, mother, I promise you that I will never leave this family"

"Get out," Lilith gasped, "you nasty brat... Threaten me... Don't think I only have one son! ”

Bewen smiled faintly: "Mother, I really don't care about the inheritance of property" He looked at his sister with a shocked look on his side: "Take good care of Mother" He touched Manda's head, then turned to smile at Lila, and then took Catherine's hand and walked out

When they reached the door, they saw Felder glaring at them with a blushing face, turned around and ran, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, when Lila suddenly spoke up behind them, "No, you can't take her away!" She ran over and grabbed her daughter, staring at Bewen: "I know you're not a bad person, but even if you're sincere, how long can you maintain your sincerity?" You're two worlds at all! Even if you combine because of a momentary obsession and impulse, you will regret it later! ”

"I won't regret it," Bevin said sincerely, "I've thought about it and discussed it with Catherine for a long time, and we know what the future holds."

Lila had no choice but to persuade her daughter: "Do you really know what you are going to face?" He was a nobleman, whether it was eating, dressing, living in a house, riding a horse, drinking, reading, chatting... Everything is completely different from us, you can't fit into his life at all, if you force yourself, you will only make yourself miserable When you live together, maybe you will be poor, these problems will all pop up, they will eat away at your love little by little, even if you want to regret it, it's too late Catherine, you should choose someone of the same class as you when you get married, don't easily cross the class gap, not to mention, you are too far apart..."

Catherine lowered her head and held Bevin's hand tightly: "Mom, even if I may encounter these difficulties in the future, I will not give up the opportunity to pursue happiness because of this, I will work hard, and he will work hard."

"You—" Lila closed her eyes, raised her sleeve to wipe the tears from her face, and said fiercely, "Are you all planning to abandon your family in order to be together?!" Your father won't agree, and his family is against it, do you really want to give up the blessings of your loved ones?! ”

"My family will say yes," Bewen said in a deep voice, "as long as I do make a difference, my father will accept it, his mother will accept it, and my younger siblings will not say anything."

"What if you can't?"

"I'll do it," Bewen smiled faintly, "I chose the northern border, in fact, it's not far from Merton, you and your uncle should also move there with your family, it's my uncle's territory, and my mother will embarrass you if you don't need it."

Minna stood quietly beside them, and when she heard this, she already showed a knowing smile: "Yes! If necessary, there are still many empty rooms in my Rose Garden, before leaving, you can stay there for a while, I will write to my father immediately, and ask him to make good arrangements, although the southern sea is the place to fight and make meritorious contributions, but it is too dangerous there, and it takes a long time, and the north has tasks such as patrolling the border and supervising the production of weapons to exterminate bandits, although it is a small matter, but it will soon be able to accumulate credit, and the reconstruction work around Xike also needs people to take the lead, and my cousin chooses there, which is the most suitable! She smiled and pulled Lila over: "Aunt doesn't want it, do you want to go back to Sico?" According to me, you are not locals there, if you want to go back to Noga, you might as well go to Maicheng, which is only a half-day's walk from Maiton, and the market is very prosperous, and your family will definitely do a prosperous business if you open a stew shop there! ”

Lila forced a smile: "Really? "If that's the case, it's worth going to McTown... Closer to their homeland

Minna folded to Bevin: "I just paid it back, you will really leave everything behind and take Catherine back to the Great Forest of Yarrow!" ”

Bevan smiled: "I won't be there, although life is simple and peaceful, but I am a man, and I also have ambitions"

Minna was stunned, thoughtful

Bevin, who is deeply in love with Catherine, would rather give up Ito's prosperous and comfortable life and go to other provinces to endure hardships so that she can quarrel with her mother, but even so, he has not abandoned his ambitions

Minna couldn't help but think of Jada, who proposed to her less than a day after knowing that she was a girl, how deep did he love her? Would he really give up his ambitions in order to marry her?

(I'm excited, it's a little bit more, it's a little late...) ）
