Chapter 165: Follow Your Heart (Recommend!Subscription!)
In fact, since the last time I met Situ Jin, Mrs. Lee Kerster's mood has been very complicated these days.
She can't actually say how much she likes Situ Jin now, she can only say that she has a slight liking, but even so, she feels that she is ridiculous. Not to mention that Situ Jin is so much younger than her in age, just say that she is a widow, so she shouldn't have any thoughts about Situ Jin.
There was never a shortage of suitors for a woman like Mrs. Lee Kerster, not to mention that before she got married, and even after she got married, there were countless men who were interested in her.
Mrs. Lee Kerster, however, never thought she would have a crush on any man, and she had seen so many men since she was a child, both in their manners and in their demeanor and gaze, that she felt disgusted.
It was precisely because all men were the same to her that this lady had willingly married an old man like the Marquis of Lee Kerst before. On the one hand, it is considered from the perspective of family interests, and on the other hand, it is also felt that marrying an old man who is about to enter the soil can also free himself as soon as possible.
It can be said that everything has gone according to the lady's idea, and not only that, but it is developing much faster than she expected. Now that the Marquis of Lee Kerst is dead, and that she has successfully inherited the vast inheritance left by the Marquis of Lee Kerster, it stands to reason that she should be happy now, but she could not be happy.
It can only be said that Situ Jin's appearance disrupted the life that this lady expected, in fact, she and Situ Jin have not known each other for a long time, but it is very strange that Situ Jin has indeed occupied a place in her heart, and in her lifetime, Situ Jin is the first man to leave traces in this lady's heart except for Old Woodwell.
Needless to say, old Woodville was her biological father, but what about Stuart? Even Mrs. Lee Kerst herself could not understand how Stuart had made such an impression on him.
Is it the clear eyes without a trace of color when they meet for the first time? Or the not wide but reassuring back in front of him on Xiaofeng Mountain? Or the handsome face that always looks calm no matter what happens? Or the warm embrace with a faint smell of vanilla?
No matter what time it was, one thing was certain, and that was that she had an instinctive sense of trust in Situ Jin. Mrs. Lee Kerst was not a vase in the first place, as evidenced by the fact that after the death of her father Woodville Sr., she single-handedly kept the family territory in order, but when she arrived in Tias, she found that no matter what happened to her, she instinctively wanted to rely on Stuart.
Since the death of the Marquis of Lee Kerster, there have been rumors in the upper echelons of Tias that she had an illicit relationship with Situ Jin, and this rumor has intensified recently. Before coming here, she had already decided to keep her distance from Situ Jin and the others in the future, but just now, when she knew that Situ Jin's life and death were uncertain, she suddenly realized that she was wrong.
Why should she care about other people's opinions, and go against her own heart because of this? Is worldly vision really so important to her? She may have thought it was important before, but now she just wants to go with her own heart.
At this moment, Mrs. Lee Kerst only wanted to see Situ Jin standing in front of her alive.
Perhaps a god really heard what Mrs. Lee Kerst was thinking, and at that moment, the lady suddenly saw several figures suddenly appear in the white snow in front of her, and then, more figures ran out quickly from behind, and then rushed all the way towards the city of Tias.
Mrs. Lee Kerst looked at it, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Below the tower, Fielding had been standing there without saying a word since he had been beaten down, and beside him stood several officers, whose faces were no better than Fielding's.
"Lord Commander, will they come back after fifteen hours?" one of the younger officers finally couldn't help but speak first.
Fielding didn't speak, but the other officer sighed: "What are the chances of winning against a hundred thousand people!"
The young officer's face turned anxious: "But Young Master Situ is not an ordinary person! Isn't he very powerful?"
Another officer spoke: "No matter how powerful Young Master Situ is, he is still one person, even if the hundred people he brought out are all ten by one, that is at most a thousand, how much is the difference between a thousand people and a hundred people against a hundred thousand people?"
"What should we do then? Shall we just give up on them?" the young officer's voice was anxious, and it was obvious that he should have admired Situ Jin in his heart.
But when he asked, no one answered, and everyone, including Fielding, lowered their eyes.
After a while, Fielding's voice was a little hoarse and said, "It's me who is not good! I shouldn't have let Young Master Situ and them out of the city! It's too late to say anything now."
With that, Fielding turned around, as if he didn't want people to see his expression at the moment.
At this moment, suddenly a city guard hurriedly ran down from the top of the tower.
Hearing the voice, Fielding raised his head, and when he saw that the city defenders were in such a hurry, his face changed: "What's the matter? Could it be that the enemy is attacking the city again?"
I don't know if I was in a hurry, or if I was frightened by Fielding's voice, but before the city guards could run down the stairs, their feet suddenly twisted.
"Ouch!"
Fielding didn't bother to look at the city guards, and now he had already decided in his heart that there was an enemy army coming to attack the city again, and at the same time, there was a sudden pain in his heart, the enemy raised troops to attack the city again, does it mean that Situ Jin has already been?"
Fielding's originally strong body suddenly shook, and he quickly held the wall around him with his hand.
Although he didn't get along with Situ Jin for a long time, in Fielding's mind, he had already regarded Situ Jin as a teacher and friend. He admired and thanked Situ Jin in his heart, although Fielding had always looked down on the children of the nobility, but Situ Jin was definitely an exception in his heart.
Before, he originally had a trace of illusion in his heart about Situ Jin and them, but now all these illusions have been shattered!
Suddenly, there was a heavy knock outside the city gates.
Hearing the voice, Fielding turned his head instantly, and everyone around him also stared at the two gates in front of them with strange expressions.
Who is knocking at the gates? Isn't there a defensive array outside the gates?
Don't?
A guess came to everyone's minds that made them feel incredible.
At this moment, the city guards who twisted their feet finally spoke: "Lord Commander, Young Master Situ, they are back!"
