Chapter 18: A Letter from Three Days Ago
Yin Leiya went out and left for more than four months.
When she came back, she found that the territory had changed a little bit, although Fausto and others regularly reported the progress of the work to her, but what she heard with her ears was still quite different from what she saw with her eyes.
But the female lord didn't have much time to wander around the city at this time.
She asked Ruby to go with Fausto to assign accommodation to the travelling followers behind her.
Of the three types of housing, the low-rent housing, longhouse and tent of Shuangxiu Church, which one to live in is purely determined by lottery, which is the fairest, if the family does not want to be separated, then one person is recommended to come out and draw.
In addition, it is best not to live in the same building for men and women to prevent unnecessary troubles in the future.
How to divide it, Yin Leiya just asked.
She returned to the castle first, where she was welcomed again by the steward Yago and others.
In addition to the traditional rabbit flag, Yago also made a dragon slaying hero flag and a champion flag, which were hung together over the teacup fort.
To be honest, the big guys didn't expect that the female lord's trip to the royal capital would actually win a championship in the martial arts competition.
Especially for these grandmothers and stewards in the castle who grew up watching Miss Rabbit since childhood, no one knows better than them how many pounds and taels the girl has.
Before becoming a lord, Yin Leiya had never practiced a little martial arts, and after becoming a lord, Miss Rabbit was also angry and tried to be strong, but she only lasted less than half a day before she gave up completely.
Especially with the ancient spirit, the female lord often deducts a day in the study, where do you remember to practice swords.
However, in this way, she still became the number one master of the Red Lion Empire, and even the Bratis Continent.
While everyone sighed at the greatness of Saturday and the transformation of Merlin Prophet into magic, they couldn't help but sweat for the current talent reserve of the empire.
Yin Leiya took care of the government affairs accumulated during this time, but after putting down the pen, it was already night, and the female lord stretched behind the desk.
He was about to go back to the house to rest, but he heard the guards outside say that Fausto was back and wanted to see her.
The female lord felt a little strange, and did not understand why Fausto came to her so late, the two had only met during the day, and if there was anything urgent, why didn't Fausto say it at that time?
Thinking so, the girl still let Fausto in.
The latter entered the house and closed the door, took two steps forward, and even looked out the window before speaking.
"Lord Yin Leia, I have here a letter that I just received four days ago, and it was written to you by Master Pep."
"Why didn't you tell me about this when we were in contact by radio three days ago?" Miss Rabbit wondered, "Who else is Pep?" ”
The female lord only thought the name was familiar at first, but couldn't remember where she had heard it until Fausto reminded him.
"Master Pep is the head of the Welch family."
"Welch......" the girl mused, finally getting an impression, "oh, it's Humpty Dumpty." ”
On her nineteenth birthday, Pep gave her a heroic statue of a dragon-slaying hero, but the statue had a hidden mechanism inside, and a deadly poisoned arrow was hidden inside.
The statue of the dragon-slaying hero was secretly created by the blacksmiths of the Blood Moon Society, but the purpose was only to attract the attention of the female lord and provide cover for another, more vicious secret weapon.
However, Pep should not know this, because the price of assassinating a nobleman is too great, and Pep, the head of the Welch family, has no grudge against Miss Rabbit.
There was no reason to do such a crazy move, but then Pep took the initiative to confess another thing to the female lord.
And that incident was about the girl's missing stepmother and younger brother.
Seeing that Fausto was so cautious, Yin Leia knew that nine times out of ten the letter was related to Vanessa Blanco.
So the woman lord reached out and took the letter from the old advisor's hand and read it herself.
After that, her expression became more and more complicated, "Vanessa still didn't give up, and contacted Pep to ask for money, saying that he would soon call back and make Blanco the owner of this land."
"I've revitalized my family, made the name of Arias spread throughout the empire, and made Greenfield more prosperous than ever, but does she still want to drive me away?
"You don't have to worry about it within the family, after all, everyone has seen what you have done to the family for more than a year, and everyone now believes in Saturday together.
"Not to mention Blanco and Vanessa, even if Lord Ruth returns, he won't be able to take your master's place."
"That's what makes it the hardest for me to understand." The female lord frowned, "To this day, that woman still refuses to accept her defeat, can't she see that she has no chance of winning?" ”
Fausto thought for a moment and said, "Vanessa...... Or maybe he just wants to use this excuse to borrow some more money from Master Pep, but the key is what Master Pep revealed in his letter.
"He seems to be trying to get the plan out of the way, use the money to lure Vanessa and Blanco out, and then get rid of the pair for you."
Miss Rabbit fell silent when she heard this.
After a moment she shook her head and said, "Write to Pep and tell him not to meddle...... I don't want Vanessa and Blanco's lives, they're my family after all. ”
Seeing that the old advisor seemed to want to say something, Yin Leiya said, "I know you will say that I am too merciful and indecisive, but I still have to stick to my choice."
"I had a conflict with Vanessa, a very fierce conflict, and I used to hate her, but Honey Bear did not let the mercenaries kill me that time, and it was only later that Jude was entrusted to deliberately sow discord between me and her, which made the situation worse.
"So......" the female lord sighed, "I also naively think that they and I are still family, and like you said, my position is now very strong, they can't take it back at all, and I have lost the only reason to kill them."
Fausto's wrinkled face also smiled when he heard this, "I didn't want to persuade you to kill Madame Vanessa or Master Blanco. ”
"Huh?"
"You have the most important qualities to be great, not just a good lord, no wonder so many people follow you."
"Well, they're mostly following Merlin." The girl shrugged.
"But the Prophet Merlin is also by your side, and he chose you for a reason, and perhaps you don't realize it, but you also have a special charm in you.
"As you know, I have served several lords of the Arias family, but it is only when I am by your side that I feel the most relaxed, not because there is less to do, but because of a relaxation."
"Really?" The female lord scratched her head, a little embarrassed to be praised.
