Chapter 217: The Cursed Manor

With Olivia's half-day explanation, Luna has a preliminary understanding of how to run the manor she is about to buy.

Although in this business process, she still has to combine the things she learned from her mother to explore on her own for a while, but even so, it is much better for her than a black eye.

The next day at school, Luna says hello to Anthony and asks Fleming when he will take a day off and visit again.

On Fleming's day off, he didn't know what to say when he looked at his son and nephew, who were rightly absent from school at home, and waited for Luna to come to visit.

"You said that it was appropriate for them to stop going to school because of this little thing, and you should get used to them!" Fleming had a headache when he looked at his father, who was sitting there happily telling stories to his two grandsons.

Since he came back from beating his father, his status in this family has plummeted.

Now don't say it's a nephew, even his own son doesn't listen to him, and he wants to skip school and report to his grandfather directly, he still saw that Carlos didn't go to school this morning, and asked his father to find out that his father had asked people to help his son and nephew ask for leave.

"What am I used to them for? did I know when your boy was absent?" the old Marquis of Casa turned his head to glare at his son.

Fleming pursed his lips when he heard this, and said in his heart, you don't know, but you beat me for absenteeism back then, can I beat my son now?

When Luna walked in, she saw Fleming holding his wife's hand, looking like an angry little daughter-in-law, and Carlos was smiling profusely.

"Grandpa Osborne, Uncle Fleming......" Luna called one by one, glanced at Anthony by the way, saw that the corners of the other party's lips were slightly hooked, and shook his head at himself, knowing that he was afraid that Fleming was suppressed by the old marquis in front of Carlos again.

"Come, come, you, what has your grandfather been up to lately, why am I looking for him, he is not at home?" the old Marquis of Casa beckoned to Luna.

"The other day, my grandfather took me and Jack out of town. Grandma said that living in the city is boring, and recently my grandfather personally took someone to clean up the manor and prepare to take grandma to live there!"

Luna replied with a grin.

"Well, that's good!" the old Marquis of Casa's eyes lit up when he heard this, "When you go back and tell him, I will take Aya to find him when I go back, and we will play with ourselves and not dislike them young people." ”

"Father, who dislikes you?" Fleming raised his forehead when he heard this, and secretly said that this old man is really becoming more and more unreasonable, and he is obviously the one who is disliked, okay?

"Hmph, whoever dislikes me knows it in his own heart. The old Marquis of Casa pursed his lips when he heard this.

Luna looked at Fleming's gloomy face and couldn't help but smile.

"Your Highness, come with me to the study!" Fleming said, taking a deep breath and glaring at Carlos, who was smiling heartlessly and unusually happy.

"Good. Then I'll talk to Uncle Fleming when I'm done talking to you. Luna greeted the old Marquis de Casa with a smile and followed Fleming, not forgetting to look at Katie and say, "Today I'm going to stay and eat Aunt Katie's stew." ”

"Knowing you're coming today, I ordered the kitchen to stew early in the morning. Knowing that Luna liked the food she brought from her parents' house, Katie was delighted.

In the study, looking at Fleming's unfolded map of the vicinity of the royal city, focusing on a few circled places, Luna shook her head, none of which she wanted.

"It's okay if it's not suitable, tell me what kind of manor you want to build, and I'll help you think about it. When Silas informed him a few days ago that Luna was going to buy land to build a manor, Fleming had already figured out all the land for sale near the royal city.

"It's not that these plots of land are bad, it's that they're not very suitable for me. I wanted a smaller, ready-made estate. It is better to be near the main road, near the mountain. ”

Luna looked at the land, and she could see that the places Fleming had circled were all excellent plots, with large tracts of cultivable land, and as long as the manor was built, it would take two or three years to attract residents, and it would mature in less than five years, but this was not what she wanted.

And Luna didn't want a manor just to collect rent.

"Ready-made manor?" Fleming couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and reminded, "Ready-made manor, whatever is sold, it can't be operated, the village is dilapidated, ten rooms and nine empty, the reputation is not good, even if the owner changes, it is difficult to attract people to cultivate the land in a short time, which is much more difficult to operate than the newly opened manor, and His Highness is afraid that it will not be easy to clean up if he buys it." ”

"Is there such a place? It's better to stay away from other estates. Luna's eyes lit up when she heard this, who said she couldn't let the empty village be full? And there was no rule that anyone who lived in the village had to be a free citizen!

"Your Highness has thought about it?" Fleming looked at Her Royal Highness, the rich and willful princess, and had a headache for a while.

"That's what you say. Luna nodded vigorously.

"And what do you think of here?" said Fleming, pointing to a manor house with a backdrop of mountains and water near the hunting grounds.

"It's a good location, why is it so far away from other estates?"

Luna's eyes lit up as she looked closely at where Fleming was pointing.

This is not only close to the royal city, but also close to the mountains and water, is a pretty good location, but for some reason, the nearby manors are far away from that, near the royal city, although the price of land can not reach the inch of land, but it is not cheap, there is such a large piece of land, but no one cares, it can be said that there are very few.

"This was originally a small aristocratic manor, but the year before you were born, the family who went to play there all died in the manor.

Your father later sent someone to investigate thoroughly, although the case was solved, the cause of death of the family was found, and the murderer was punished, but I don't know why, since then, this manor has changed three owners in a row, but each family for different reasons, and finally the family was ruined.

It wasn't until last year, when the last owner's only remaining second son put the estate up for sale, that no one cared about it anymore.

People nearby said that it was cursed, so gradually the villagers also moved away, and it was abandoned, although the original manor was still there, but even the hunters did not dare to approach, even if they passed by, many villagers would rather take a detour. ”

"Why don't you take me to see it one day? There is also the situation of the surrounding Ji family, I also want to get rid of you and help me ask. Luna said thoughtfully, tracing the drawings of several nearby estates.

"Are you really going to want this manor?" Fleming looked at Luna with wide eyes, although he didn't believe in any curses, but it was impossible for the four families to have accidents one after another without a reason!

Can he say that this little princess Luna is too bold? He said all that, and he still wants to go and see it?!

"I'll have to see it before I decide, but can you find anything else that better suits me?" asked Luna, tilting her head at Fleming.

Fleming was speechless for a moment, but for the sake of safety, he still instructed: "It's okay to take you to see it, but I have to explain this matter to your father, and if he agrees, you can go." ”

"It's a deal. Luna looked at Fleming with a smile, she wasn't really worried about her father.
