An unknown light flashed in the eyes of the woman named Pobi, and she continued to wrap her neck softly, exhaling like a lan: "Why? You're even ready for the wedding, and tomorrow you're going to welcome your bride, Rosalyn of the Shida family! I can't dig her out of the grave and kill her again, do you want me to change my mind with the person surnamed Heda? ”

Viscount Mandheling sighed, briefly recounted what his sister Elena said, and said: "The most painful thing in my life is that Elena has lost the happiness of her life, I have always hated Xiao Tianjian, but now, things are completely different, what really hurt Elena is actually He's marriage, how can I swallow this breath?!" ”

"But...... Helen is not the daughter of Heda," said Pobey, "have you forgotten? She'll marry you in the name of Francis, Little Heda is against the marriage, and even goes so far as to cut ties with your mother, and you claimed that you want to marry the queen's sister Helen, not the widow of the Heddahs, so you don't care that she doesn't have a large dowry, doesn't you? ”

"This ......," Viscount Mandheling was speechless for a moment, unwilling to admit that he had never given up the Hedda family's property in his heart

From Mrs. Helen, he learned that the two youngest sons of the Hedda family were in harmony with their mother, and that even if they were awkward for a while, they would accept reality sooner or later

Alborn has a busy schedule and has to go out for long hours every year; Aloy's vision is poor and her body is weak; The widows and children of several deceased brothers have either returned to their parents' homes or are living in the territory, and who else can help their mother take care of the family business except for his stepfather? At that time, even if he can't take over the wealth of the Heda family openly, at least he is sure that he can gradually control those connections and assets into his own hands

But now, even the name Heddah, he feels extremely filthy, how can he bear to live with someone with this surname, and even to please that Rosalyn's blood relatives to some extent?!

He didn't say what was in his heart, but Pobi seemed to have guessed it, and whispered softly in his ear: "Since you hate them, why don't you take this opportunity to snatch all their property?" Think about it, when the time comes, the person surnamed Heddah will become a beggar, and you will be beaten and scolded like mud! Haven't the people of their family always been proud of their family? Isn't it the best way to retaliate by knocking out their self-esteem? ”

Viscount Mandheling was a little moved, but reason still prevailed: "No, I originally planned to marry, just to be able to use Helen's relationship with the queen to revive the family, if I use this method to take revenge on the Heda family, it will be against my original intention"

Po Bijiao pushed him angrily: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you want?" If you want to take revenge, it's best to have a wedding as usual, and if you want to revitalize the family business, you also want to marry Helen? What do you think now that you say you're not getting married?! ”

Viscount Mandheling hurriedly coaxed her: "My dear, are you not happy that I am not married?" I'm yours again," he said, hugging her into his arms

A trace of disgust flashed in Pobi's eyes, but she still stretched out her jade arm and hugged it back: "Of course I don't want you to be the only one in your heart, but I can't help you achieve your wish and become the most respected nobleman in the country, I don't care about anything for you to succeed, but my you cancel the wedding, it will make the queen angry, after all, it will hurt Helen to do that, if she retaliates against you for this, isn't it bad?" Besides, the invitations were sent out, and the day before the wedding, they said that they were going to cancel it, and people outside would laugh at you."

Viscount Mandheling also had a headache when he thought about it, and after thinking about it for a long time, he made a decision: "Then don't cancel it for the time being, postpone the wedding for the time being!" I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to see King Elena and bring Princess Diana a letter, I think for this reason, the queen should not be in the mood to take care of the wedding."

He said it easily, but he didn't have the bottom in his heart, but no matter what, his sister Elena was much more important than Helen, and when she finally came home, how could she let her face her enemies and relatives every day? If the queen is really angry about this, he will find a way from the second prince, after all, it will be the second prince who will rule the country in the future, not the queen

Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, his eldest granddaughter is already eleven years old, and she is about the same age as the third prince, I heard that the two little princes have always had a good relationship...... His granddaughter can become the third prince and concubine......

He was suddenly full of confidence, and there were very few nobles of the same age who could compare with his granddaughter in terms of appearance and conduct, and this plan should be very feasible, and he didn't even need to ask the queen, just let the young third prince nod

Thinking about it further, although the royal family has always had a tradition of late marriage, Princess Sarah is also about to reach the age of marriage, and although her youngest son is scattered, he is still quite outstanding compared to other noble children of the same age......

Viscount Mandheling had countless thoughts in his mind, thinking about how to make his thoughts come true, but he didn't notice that the beauty in his arms was also deep in thought, and there was an unknown light in his half-squinted purple eyes

In the middle of the night, Mandheling's house was lit with dim oil lamps in the corridor, the shadows of the trees outside the window reflected on the walls through the bowls, swaying gently, the wind blew the curtains, and the crystal chandeliers on the ceiling made a tiny jingle sound

A dark shadow slowly walked out of the door, stepping on the carpet, walking silently on the corridor, suddenly heard footsteps in front of him, a light gradually approaching, the black shadow hurriedly opened a door, flashed in, and closed the door again

A manservant turned the corner and walked around with an oil lamp, but without finding anything suspicious, he walked over

The dark shadow reappeared outside the door, continuing in the same direction until it reached the end of the long silhouette on the fourth floor, and then entered an empty room

The room was full of debris, covered with cobweb, and there was a crack in the corner window, through which a trace of wind crept into the room, bringing up a little dust

The black shadow was unmoved, just locked the door, walked to the middle of the room, pulled down the cloak, and revealed a beautiful face, which was none other than Viscount Mandheling's "mistress" Pepi

She whispered, "I'm coming, come out"

A puff of black smoke rose from behind the pile of debris, and a man dressed in black walked out, frowning and looking at Pobi: "You came out like this?" Aren't you afraid that he will find out?! ”

Pobi smiled contemptuously: "He probably thought that he was holding a beautiful woman for fun, except for the housekeeper, no third person in the whole mansion knew about my existence, and the housekeeper would only think that I was the master's secret mistress, and he would not be suspicious."

"It's better to be careful," the man said solemnly, "his youngest son is back, and there is a woman, who should also be a member of this family, and they all have an aura that we hate on them, you better avoid them, stay away, lest you be discovered"

"Got it," Pobey was a little nonchalant, "he never noticed me when his youngest son was at home, so even if there is an extra woman now, what does it matter?" Okay, okay, I'll be careful, you don't have to be verbose" Seeing that the man straightened his face and wanted to reprimand her, she hurriedly blocked it back, and immediately said her intentions: "The woman who came back with his youngest son is his sister, who has served the Holy Lady in the Holy See for decades, but he has no ability, but because of his sister's words, he decided to cancel tomorrow's wedding, what should I do?" I tried to persuade him, but he

Ken loose."

"Something like this?!" The man was a little surprised, "Is he unwilling to marry Helen, or is he just planning to postpone the wedding date?" ”

"Even though he said it was only for the time being, I suspect he has already dismissed the idea," said Perbi, with some eagerness, "what are we going to do?" We've been preparing for this for months, so are we just giving up? ”

"Why give up? Even if the surname Mandheling can't be our tool, it doesn't mean that we can't get close to the Heda family in any other way! ”

Pobi sighed: "It's easy to get close to Heda's house, but it's difficult to find things The people we sent have searched several houses in their house for a whole year, and they haven't found anything, and now only the Elben brothers and Helen have not searched Ito's room, but those three rooms have magic weapons and blessing magic arrays of the God of Light Sect, and our people can't enter at all" After a pause, she was a little discouraged: "And those two dead children are completely untempted by me, they are two blind people at all!" If it weren't for the two brothers being too alert, why would she have gone around in such a big circle to fight that "thing"?

The man pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see for a while, it's best if you can convince Mandheling to change his mind, otherwise you don't need to waste time here anymore Before I think of a good way, I will send someone to sneak into Heda's house again, I don't believe it, even ordinary humans who talk about the God of Light can't get close to those rooms!" ”

"But......" Perbi hesitated, "we've tried it before, haven't we?" Does it make sense to be found out when you approach the door every time you send someone there? Mine will alert their family, and what if they find out what that thing means to us? ”

The man was silent for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence: "It seems...... It's time to use that dark line! ”

~~~~=~~~~~~~~ I'm the dividing line ~~~~~~~========== the next day

When Minna saw Alex again, it had been two days since they met in front of the Mandheling mansion, and Alex seemed to have managed to find time to go back to the Green House to clean up the house, and left home to go to the Rose Garden, where he told his aunt what he had told his father from beginning to end

Minna couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that this was the case back then, so did your father really cancel the wedding?" ”

"Anyway, it won't be held in the near future, and I'll try to make it never happen," Alex said with a smile, "I heard that the queen is not a hoe, but the Hedda family didn't say anything, Lady Helen has planned to return to the territory in the near future to avoid rumors, but His Majesty the King and several princes and princesses are happy for Princess Diana's return, the palace is renovating the princess's bedchamber, and now Princess Diana is temporarily living with Princess Sarah, even if the queen wants to do something, it's not time"

"Sounds good," Minna relaxed, "so your father won't show me any more looks, right?" Speaking of which, the young lady of the Hedda family is really too much! Even if my grandfather wasn't with her, why would she pull others to suffer? ”

Alex smiled: "Actually, if it was Princess Diana who married your grandfather back then, she probably wouldn't be so extreme, right?" My aunt told me a lot about the past along the way, she said that at that time Rosalyn hated Madame Mirabell very much, and knew that Count Xiao was going to marry Madame Mirabel, and wrote to him, claiming that if he did not come to stop her, she would accompany my aunt to the princess to be a saint, and that day happened to be the day of Count Shaw's wedding, and it happened that the representative of the Holy See was also there, and the princess had already expressed her intention to become a saint, so she dragged my aunt with her

When her father and brother stopped her, she did not hesitate to quarrel with them and didn't know what the reason was, Count Xiao didn't come at all, the representatives of the Holy See thought they were all devout believers, and quickly settled the matter, but Rosalyn regretted it, and asked her father and brother to help refuse, but the Duke of Heda at that time felt very embarrassed, scolded her, and asked her to be a saint for life, after she went to Fan'a, she almost broke off relations with her family, and it was not until her brother succeeded the head of the family that the correspondence was resumed, but I don't know why, She always wanted to go home, but never asked for it."

Minna tilted her head: "I guess...... Her family doesn't allow it, right? For no saint has ever abdicated at a young age, unless she herself is in poor health or ...... Character problems! The Hedda family can't afford to lose this face, right? Their family seems to be very concerned about the so-called 'Heda's glory'"

Alex raised an eyebrow, "I see you seem a lot smarter, huh?" ”

Minna was furious and grinned, "I'm already smart!" He also picked up a thick pharmacopoeia and threw it over

Alex didn't frown, and with a wave of his hand, he let the pharmacopoeia gently fall on the table next to him, and continued: "But I have some suspicions, Old Heda has been dead for more than twenty years, and their family has probably been in collusion with the Demon Domain since then, and it is very rare to have a family member in the Central Holy See, and the facts have proved that Rosalyn has indeed played a great role."

Minna remembered the chaos that happened in Van A a few years ago, and she deeply felt the same way, and she remembered another thing: "You just said that she wrote a letter to my grandfather? But my grandfather never mentioned it? When I was a child, I asked my grandfather about this, and he just smiled bitterly, saying that he didn't expect them to be so decisive, and he couldn't stop it and knew that it was too late."

"Oh?" Alex straightened up, feeling a little suspicious, if Count Xiao didn't see the letter back then, so he didn't stop his aunt from becoming a saint in time, then why didn't he see it?

"Ahem......" A cough woke them up from their contemplation, it turned out that it was Marcie who brought the refreshments, Minna and Alex immediately got up and took the tray, and thanked Marcie with a smile, but instead of turning around and leaving as usual, they hesitated in place, as if they had something to say

Minna asked, "Marcy, do you have something to say?" ”

Alex also said, "Yes, Lady Marcie, are you...... What do you know? ”

Marcy took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I don't know if it's true, Sister Merry mentioned it to me when I was a child—she was Miss Mirabel's bodymaid at that time...... Miss Mirabell had intercepted a number of letters from other young ladies to His Excellency the Earl...... Belch...... I don't know if it's related......"

Minna and Alex looked at each other and suddenly realized

Back then, these noble girls were all rivals in love, who wanted others to ruin their wedding?

There was a knock at the door, and Burleigh walked in, looked at the silent three with some curiosity, and said, "Minna, just now the butler of the Cargar family sent an invitation, saying that there was a ball the night after tomorrow, and the master invited all the members of the Shaw-Cardo Countess said that it was a nobleman, and told you to attend."

"Prom?" Minna frowned, she hated this kind of thing the most, especially at the aristocratic ball in Ito! After taking the invitation, she opened it, frowned again, and handed it to Alex: "It's him!" ”

What was written on the post was Gerda Novira Conkson, Duke of Wellington in the Kingdom of Norgar
