"Okay."

Mrs. Closter's eyes were still soft, and she turned sideways to make some room for Xia Lingge, who came to help, Xia Lingge glanced at Si Cheng and Shen Yu, and they also packed up the things in the study very cooperatively.

There was not much on the table in front of Mrs. Cloister, the ink-stained quills were set aside, the various papers and books were stacked neatly to make room, and the beautiful box was placed in the center, containing many albums.

"Look at this."

Mrs. Klouster picked up a photo album of a man in a top hat holding a baby in his arms, "This is a picture of your brother not long after he was born. ”

She stretched out her fingertips and stroked it as if she was nostalgic: "The prince likes your brother very much, and he just found Mr. Franto, the best cameraman, to take a birth photo, and this ......"

It was a picture of a man in a top hat and four children of different sizes.

"This is a family photo taken by your brother when he was three years old, you see, at that time he liked to stick to you, for which the prince also said that you are the most blessed child in the family."

Xia Lingge took the photo handed by Mrs. Kloster, the black and white picture could only distinguish the general outline, several figures were next to each other, staring motionless in front of them with dark and round eyes.

She flipped through the rest of the photos, without exception were photos of men and children, but most of them were separate photos of the young master, and she picked up the latest set of photos, which were a group photo of the old Lord Klouster and his four children in a wheelchair, still black and white, with subtle lines outlining the general outline of the characters.

The photos were very good, but I always felt that something was not quite right.

Xia Lingge put down the photo and turned her head to face the large bookcase behind her, all kinds of colorful books were placed on it, and those complicated English fell into her eyes, which could be automatically translated into Chinese in her mind.

Hey guys, this game is really getting more and more user-friendly.

'Bang dang—'

What did she kick under her feet, Xia Lingge looked down and saw that it was an old pocket watch somehow put into this corner, she picked it up and threw it into the trash can, but suddenly found that there seemed to be a photo under the layers of paper in the trash can, and she hesitantly reached out to take it.

"Oh, my child. What's wrong? ”

Mrs. Kloster's voice sounded again, Xia Lingge paused, slowly turned around and went straight to Mrs. Shang's smiling face, because of the light, her gentle eyebrows were cut by the light to reveal a fierce and hideous look.

Xia Lingge got up: "I'm just still an old pocket watch." ”

Mrs. Kloster's eyes followed the direction she was pointing, the worn-out pocket watch was casually thrown in it, and the paper below was crumpled, Mrs. Kloster's eyebrows seemed to soften, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her fingertips affectionately, and then said: "It's good to let the next person do these rough jobs later, you are the daughter of the Lord of Kloster, how can you lower your noble head to do such a thing." ”

She stroked Xia Lingge's hair: "Okay, my child, you have helped me a lot, go back and rest." ”

Xia Lingge saw her refusal, didn't say anything but nodded and turned around, Si Cheng and Shen Yu saw that she left and didn't stay, said goodbye to Mrs. Kloster and closed the door.

'Click'.

The door is closed.

Mrs. Closter, who had been gentle, suddenly frowned, and she gloomily walked to the trash can to rummage through the garbage, and a half-burned photograph was held tightly in her hand, and the man in the picture stood upright in a high hat, and his right hand seemed to hold someone, but the man was melted by the fire, leaving only a skirt in the photo.

Mrs. Klouster smiled wickedly, and she took the picture to the candle and lit it gently, the tiny flame gradually grew larger, and finally the whole picture burned out.

"My esteemed Lord Kloster."

There was a kind of crazy excitement in her eyes: "Your property will definitely belong to its true owner." ”

……

"Wait."

Xia Lingge walked into the corridor and suddenly paused, and whispered, "I understand that something is wrong." ”

"What, senior sister?"

Si Cheng also stopped and asked.

Xia Lingge broke away from Si Cheng's support, turned around and walked back: "I'll go back, don't come with me." ”

Si Cheng was just about to step forward and paused, and glanced at Shen Yu after all.

Xia Lingge returned to the study, the faint smell of burning in the air had not completely dissipated, Mrs. Kloster was a little surprised to see her go and return, but soon raised a gentle smile again and said, "My child, why are you back?" Is something happening? ”

"Mother." Xia Lingge called her very obediently, "I just thought of a question, so I want to ask you to help answer it." ”

Mrs. Klouster said, "You know that I like to answer people's questions the most, especially my children, you name it." ”

Xia Lingge said: "The relationship between you and your father is not so good. ”

Mrs. Kloster's expression was stunned: "Oh, my child, where did you come to this conclusion?" ”

Xia Lingge said: "I just wonder, as the wife of the prince of Kloster, the hostess of the entire castle, why don't you even have a photo, don't say that you don't like photography or anything like that, I know, such meaningful photos as family portraits and anniversaries, the hostess is an indispensable existence." ”

Mrs. Klouster walked to the table in silence, stretched out her slender fingertips and slowly ran over the already covered box, and after a long time she chuckled bitterly as if sarcastically: "To your father, the child is the most important thing. ”

"What did my mother think about the seven million pounds?" Xia Lingge continued to ask.

Mrs. Closter's fingertips jerked, she raised her eyes and said in a faint voice, "What do you want to say?" ”

"My father left seven million pounds and died before he could say who to hand it over." Xia Lingge slowly approached Mrs. Kloster, "If nothing else, the property treaty should not have time to write the name of the successor, of course, even if it is written, as long as you get the treaty and change it again, it shouldn't be too difficult." ”

"Although the four of us sisters and brothers are relatives, no matter who gets that property, the other people will be red-eyed, but ...... It is not the same if the person who gets the property is the mother. ”

As she uttered her last sentence, it was evident that Mrs. Closter's fingertips were shaking.

She continued: "If my mother gets the property, I think my brother and sisters will not have any complaints, so mother, that property...... Do you want it? ”

The shallow voice was like thunder outside the window.

The silver-white lightning suddenly brightened, shining into Mrs. Clost's eyes, and it was only at this time that Xia Lingge saw the longing and greed in the depths of those eyes.
