Chapter 40: Cause and Effect
"It's a pleasure to work with, Mr. and Mrs. Vivarel." The girl smiled, her voice was sweet, fluent in French, slightly with a Roman accent, but more mysterious and elegant.
Zhu Li, who had just become a mother back then, looked at the girl in front of her and saluted elegantly, and unconsciously felt a little more good in her heart.
You know, she likes these elegant etiquette the most, and it makes her a real aristocratic lady...... Doesn't the Vivarel family have the title of duke?
She could only smile at Qin Luo, she didn't have those etiquette trainings, although she also wanted to show off like Qin Luo, but she still didn't dare to show off casually.
Julie assumed the posture of a hostess and gently invited, "I hope that next time Miss Lois comes, she can come to the humble house as a friend." ”
She is still confident in her social skills, and she can only rely on her as the hostess to have a closer relationship with the Auguste family.
Qin Luo looked very happy, and after chatting a few words, he proposed that he wanted to go around by himself and see their house. "I remember that Victor didn't live in the Champs-Elysées."
"Yes, I think the environment here is more lively, so I let him move here, and Wendy can study conveniently." Julie still had a warm smile on her face, "Do you want to visit the residence?" It's not as good as me......"
Qin Luo shook his head with a smile and refused.
Julie was a little puzzled.
"It's okay, Victor and I don't have a relationship...... I'll find someone to lead the way, Julia, you take good care of the child, don't catch a cold. Qin Luo stood up and tilted his head and smiled at the new mother.
Julie heard her call her nickname and cared for her little daughter, which mother was not happy when she heard it? She also said yes.
"It's so considerate, you just go outside the door and meet the butler."
Seeing that Qin Luo really watched around the residence under the leadership of the housekeeper, and went to sit in the flower room, Zhu Li smiled unconsciously, and finally looked away from the window.
Elizabeth happened to be quietly writing her diary in the flower room at this time, and the house was changed, surrounded by indifferent people, and she could only silently stay behind to protect the young Wendy.
She was not an active person in the first place, and the servants would look at her master's eyes, so that her presence would be even lower, and the woman would not have asked her whereabouts.
"It's business as usual today." Elizabeth muttered to herself, her hands kept keeping track of her books, and the "nerd" habit she had developed as a girl—as her sister Winnie always liked to call her—has continued to this day.
The light in the flower room was very good, and she had a small table set up here, and when she was fine, she brought Wendy here and taught her something.
There was a slight friction between the fabric and the branches and leaves behind her, and Elizabeth thought that Wendy was back, so she didn't turn her head, "You came back quite early today, and you didn't go slimy at your mother's grave anymore?" ”
"You're still like this, you don't open your mouth to be serious, you open your mouth to destroy everything, your mouth is full of inconsistencies, and you're not a lady at all." A soft voice came from overhead.
Not Wendy? Is that...... Elizabeth jerked her head in disbelief and saw Lois, who had been pretending to be a straight face, and laughed out loud at the sight of her frightened expression.
"Lois!" Elizabeth whispered, "It's you! ”
Qin Luo had already started to play with her hair, "Shall I see if I have lost weight?" I've grown a lot taller...... Why are you crying? ”
Elizabeth had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of tears.
"I don't know what to do!" Elizabeth broke down, laughing maniacally, weeping, and speaking incoherently, "I don't have any special skills, I just stay stupidly...... Sister...... Little Wendy with her brother-in-law...... What to do......"
"I hate it...... He's like this now! Brutal and ruthless! ”
"I've endured it for a long time!" Elizabeth had tears in her eyes, but she couldn't hide the fierce light in her eyes, the obvious and secret grievances she had suffered these days were more than all the difficulties she had suffered in the past twenty-nine years!
The nature of the Fanzhuo family's eyes is still sprouting from under the gentle appearance of jade.
Qin Luo understands that she and Wendy's mother have a deep sisterhood, and Elizabeth's attitude towards outsiders and relatives is like a combination of a devil and an angel, as cold as a vampire to the outside, and kind and considerate to her own family.
Whenever someone threatens what she cares about, she will fight with all her might.
Scolded as the "mad witch of the Fanzhuo family", Elizabeth Fanzhuo is now suppressing her fierce wolf-like nature because she guards a child.
"Now that you're here, it's much easier......" Elizabeth whimpered, wiping her face wildly.
Qin Luo wanted to lower his head to help her wipe it, but just when he got close to Elizabeth, his expression suddenly changed, and he grabbed her wrist violently.
"You...... Your body? ”
Elizabeth looked at Qin Luo's wrong face, a little surprised, she couldn't care about the tears on her face, and waited for her to speak.
They had known each other for a long time, and she naturally believed in Lois.
Qin Luo was silent for a moment, and only said one sentence, "Some women are smiling on the surface, but they are so vicious behind their backs, it's really terrifying. This revenge should be avenged. ”
She turned to Elizabeth again, and her voice was as cold as winter frost, "What do you want to do?" ”
Elizabeth reacted suddenly, "Is something wrong with my body?" ”
Suddenly, she didn't worry about her body anymore, and suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Will......... She wants to change her will! ”
Qin Luo nodded, Elizabeth had a flexible brain, and she thought of it at once, worthy of her.
Chronic poison was eating away at her nerves.
"Victor" doesn't care about this daughter now, but Wendy is still the beneficiary of the will that Victor and his sister jointly established back then, which is the testimony of the Van Zhuo family, and everything in Vivarel's name will belong to Wendy in the future. The other half of the document was in her hands......
To change a will, complete documents are required.
If something goes wrong with herself, or if Wendy has a problem, and the children's property belongs to the father, wouldn't Wendy ......
"She must have her eyes on the auction," Qin Luo sat down, "You must know that Victor has annual dividends." ”
"I see." Elizabeth Fanzhuo's eyes flashed with murderous intent again, that woman definitely wanted to commit a crime, either to poison herself or directly to Wendy! Also, coming out of the half-breed family, it is not the dragon-slaying maniac of Kassel, it is a businessman who pays attention to the supremacy of profit, and has also seen the world, and there are few who are not ruthless, and they should have accepted it a long time ago.
"You should leave Wendy." Qin Luo said.
"It's not good, she's too young, and now that Victor has Julie, how can he take care of her!" Elizabeth immediately shouted.
"If you leave, she's going to do something to little Wendy...... But that's what I'm here to solve. Qin Luo smiled again.
"Don't underestimate the kids, Lizzie."
After learning that Wendy was at the Père Lachaise cemetery, Lois left Elizabeth.
"Later...... I rely on you a lot, and I will always believe in you. Elizabeth took Qin Luo's hand, after all, this was her old friend in the Fan Zhuo family for many years, and Fan Zhuo was the contract alliance of the August family.
Qin Luo smiled slightly, "Your responsibilities have been fulfilled and you are also engaged, don't stay in other people's houses like an old hen and not leave, you should have a place for yourself." ”
Elizabeth's face flushed, and she was silent.
Père Lachaise cemetery.
Qin Luo's footsteps were hurried, and she listened attentively in her ears, and the voices from all directions returned to her head, bringing all the information.
In the crisp air after the snow fell, the sickles flew over the large and small burial chambers.
At last she stopped and saw the little girl sitting in front of the tomb in a daze, holding a yellowed copy of The Count of Monte Cristo.
"The Count of Monte Cristo......" Qin Luo walked over directly, opened his mouth coldly, and picked up the book, "I've read it too." ”
Wendy raised her dark green eyes, which had no light in them, apparently ignoring her words.
But in the jungle-like green, there seemed to be tiger-like flames jumping.
The child can be taught, Qin Luo still put her mind at ease, she believes that she likes it.
"I'll read it to you."
"Hmm."
“…… You see, this Valentina, like you, is also without a mother, and her father doesn't care, and she was poisoned, which is so pitiful. Qin Luo didn't stop as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was next to Wendy and read to her.
Wendy hung her head, "I'm not like her, I know a lot about alchemy...... Ah, academics. I will, hit back. ”
It's really new to hear a ten-year-old child say this kind of thing in the most understated tone. Qin Luo raised his eyebrows.
Later, she was surprised to see the bookmark in the book, and threw the information about the surname "Orleans" to Wendy.
"Orleans? Could it be ......" Qin Luo deliberately stopped talking and observed Wendy's reaction.
Suddenly, a strange golden light suddenly lit up in the child's eyes.
"What do you see?" Qin Luo asked coldly, spreading out the realm.
Awaken naturally, and turn on the vision. Qin Luo stabilized the airflow around himself and Wendy, so as not to spread the destructive power and destroy the cemetery.
The dark green in Wendy's eyes was slowly eroded by the golden silk threads, and the radial interweaving converged in the eyes, and finally became a brilliant piece.
There was no snow-covered cemetery in front of me, in the pale sky, vague shadows were sweeping around, white wings were embedded with snow-white scales, and there was a fantasy song in my ears, and suddenly, my vision turned, and in front of me stood a god who was not very tall, but had golden eyes as light as day.
The god was wrapped in a white robe, and the power of the golden eyes made it impossible to see his face, and with a wave of his hand, the spear named Kungunir fell suddenly, and the white transparent silk threads shrank, and the wisps were connected, and thousands of dead bodies were executed on the white cross.
Divine Judgment.
