Chapter Ninety-Five: Mrs. Lee Kerster
"En?" Gao Wen's expression was a little playful: "Listen to what you mean, could it be that there are some big people living in this small hotel?"
The man snorted coldly, looked at Gao Wen with a look of anger and said: "It's the Marquise of Li Kerst who lives here, acquaintances, you should leave me now!"
Hearing the man's words, Gao Wen was stunned at first, and then turned his gaze to Situ Jin.
Seeing that Situ Jin's whole face was expressionless, and he had never heard the name Li Kerst before, Gao Wen smiled a little helplessly, and then approached Situ Jin and whispered a few words in Situ Jin's ear.
After Gao Wen finished speaking, Situ Jin suddenly realized.
It turned out that this Mrs. Lee Kerst was also quite a famous figure in the Yarrow Empire, and Mrs. Lee Kerster's original name was Anne Woodwell.
The Woodville family, like the Situ family, was also one of the great contributors who helped the Aldrich royal family conquer the world, so not long after the founding of the Yarrow Empire, the Woodville family was also rewarded with the title of hereditary earl.
But in Anne Woodwell's generation, the Woodville family only has one descendant, Anne, in order not to let the family's honor end in his own hands, Anne's father Woodville Sr. personally went to the palace to meet the old Emperor Aldrich XXIV, and asked to pass on the family title to his daughter Anne Woodwell.
According to a common practice in the Empire, hereditary titles of nobility have always been passed down from male to female, but the old emperor thanked the Woodville family for their contribution to the empire, and finally agreed to the old Woodville's request for Anne to inherit the hereditary earl title of the Woodville family. But the old emperor also suggested that after Anne's centennial, the hereditary titles of House Woodville would be automatically abolished.
Old Woodville was saddened by this, but he could only acquiesce. Although the hereditary title of the Woodville family is no longer available after his daughter Anne, even so, it is better to have a family title that can be passed on for one more generation than not in his generation.
Although this result was already good, the elder Woodville still felt very ashamed of his ancestors, and always felt that the glory of the family was buried in his hands, so he spent every day in self-blame. When he returned home, Woodville Sr. first made a marriage for Anne, and it was not long before she died.
And when it comes to the son-in-law that Old Woodville found for himself, he is also a well-known figure in the entire Yarrow Empire. It is rumored that the family surnamed Li has an astonishing wealth, and as long as this family moves its fingers casually, the entire empire will tremble a few times, and this is by no means alarmist.
Although this refers only to the economic aspect, but, as the saying goes, money can make the devil grind, and the power of money cannot be ignored at any time, take the current patriarch of the Li family, Li Kester, for example, his title of marquis was bought with money.
Of course, this title is actually of little use, the first has no fiefdom, the second has no position, and the third cannot be hereditary. If you really want to talk about it, this title is really just an empty title. But it's just an empty title, and having such a title sounds completely different from not having it. And the family surnamed Li is capricious if they are rich, and people don't care about this money.
The marriage between the Woodville family and the Li family, one is a noble family and the other is a wealthy family, which can be regarded as a very good match. Moreover, it is not difficult to detect the little caution of old Woodville from this marriage.
Like Anne, Lee Kerst is also the only seedling of the Li family, and not only that, this Lee Kerst is now almost 70 years old, but Anne is just in her early 20s! It can be said that as long as there is no accident, this Marquis Lee Kerst will definitely go to God one step ahead of Anne, and a large part of the huge fortune of the Lee family may fall into the hands of Anne.
If you can't be a nobleman, you can be super-rich, this is probably what Old Woodville really thought. For this purpose, he automatically ignored the fact that his son-in-law was a few years older than his father-in-law.
Three years ago, this matter was also boiling in the entire imperial capital, and there were few people in the upper aristocratic circles who had not heard of it, and it was not surprising that Gao Wen knew this, but what made him feel speechless was that Situ Jin was also a child of an aristocratic family no matter what he said, and he didn't know anything about this matter.
Listening to Gao Wen's words, although Situ Jin also sighed in his heart, there was still no expression on his face, even if this Mrs. Li Kerster's identity is more noble, but she can't be so domineering, right? The place where she lives is not allowed to let others in? It's really ridiculous!
Seeing that after he finished speaking, Situ Jin still looked lukewarm, and Gao Wen already understood what Situ Jin meant.
The eyes of the man opposite stayed on the faces of Gao Wen and Situ Jin, and after seeing that he finished saying the name of his master, the two people in front of him began to whisper in a low voice, and the man's face showed a look of pride, in his opinion, the two people in front of him should soon get out of the way with those behind them.
At this moment, the man heard the blond-haired, blue-eyed young man who had been talking to him just now, say, "Big brother, since this is where Mrs. Lee Kerst stays, we won't go in and bother, but we have traveled all the way here, and the brothers are hungry and want to buy some food in this hotel, you see?"
After all, Gawain is not Situ Jin, he usually does not take the initiative to offend people when he can not offend people, not to mention that this Mrs. Li Kerst is not an ordinary person, after thinking twice, he still decided to take the initiative to take a step back.
"MD!" But just as Gawain finished speaking, the man on the other side opened his mouth and scolded: "It's not okay to tell you well, it seems that if you don't teach you a lesson, you won't take the initiative to leave!" As he spoke, the man pulled out the sword he had just put back from his waist.
He was so polite to the other party, but the other party was still scolding him, even Gao Wen had a rare trace of gloom on his face.
He jumped backwards violently, jumped from the hotel to the outside, and then swung the sword in his hand lightly forward, and the sword body immediately made a crisp sound in the air: "Okay!" Gao Wen sneered: "If you want us to take the initiative to leave, then you have to see if you have the ability to do this!" Gao Wen's gaze penetrated the small door of the tavern and shot directly into the man's eyes.
A hideous smile appeared on the man's face, and he walked directly past Situ Jin, and then walked out of the tavern with his sword, and the people who followed him immediately rushed outside the tavern with him.
Seeing that all the people inside had come out, the people of the [13th Battalion] immediately moved a few steps forward.
Situ Jin also walked out of the tavern and stood on the side of the tavern, Marven subconsciously glanced at Situ Jin, saw Situ Jin shook his head, he waved his hand to the people of the [13th Battalion] behind him, and everyone immediately took a few steps back.
The man turned his head and glanced at Situ Jin with some surprise, and then also stretched out a hand and shook it at the people behind him, seeing this, the people behind him also took a few steps back.
In this way, there are only two people left in the field, the man and Gawain.
