Section 31 Warning

"Or do you think you're doing it secretively, so he'll never find out it's a premeditated show? If you do, then I'll have to admit that your IQ is worse than I thought. He had known for a long time, and even if he hadn't discovered Ace's infamous voyeur hole, he had already discovered the prostitute's identity. With at least a little brain, a little imagination, he will deduce the truth of the whole thing from the cause and effect. Even if he wasn't confident in his reasoning, he had countless opportunities to inquire. This kind of inquiry is very easy. Aunt Mary continued. "You think it's a secret, but it's not a secret at all, as long as he wants to know the way, he will definitely be able to know the way. ”

"Ace said ......"

"Ace can believe her words, she's a stupid widow who can't even marry herself. When a person is too stupid, she will have the illusion that no one in the whole world is as smart as her. But in fact, the person who produces this illusion is the stupidest person in the whole world!"

"Ace does have some cleverness. I don't deny that, but her mistake was to take cleverness for real wisdom, and as a result, she turned herself into a complete idiot. Who does she think she is? Does she think she is rich or does she think she is rich? She is just an ordinary widow with a little property. The news that she wants to remarry has been spread for a long time, in fact, it has been rumored for many years, but do you know why she hasn't married herself out of Lu yet?"

The two sisters remembered what Ace had said. But under Aunt Mary's majestic gaze, they did not dare to answer for a moment.

"Did she tell you that the men who came to the door to propose were all big perverts, and that they were seduced by a woman casually?" Aunt Mary let out a cold snort through her nose. "She doesn't look at what she is. While her husband was still alive, she was known for her nosy lifestyle and rapping nature. If there were ten men who were going to come to the door to propose, at least three suitors—but the best three—would be deterred by the news. ”

The next trick of her suitors and the famous peeping hole would have scared off four of the remaining men. As long as a man with a little backbone or pride, it is impossible for him to let himself meet such a woman. The most reluctant people who really come to the door to propose are the stupidest, or the most uneasy and well-meaning men. The former hit those tricks, and the latter knew how to get out in time. ”

"But...... Can be persuaded by someone like Ace...... "Sure enough...... Am I overestimating you?" sighed Aunt Mary. "I thought you two would be a good match for him...... One doesn't deserve it, and two are about the same. ”

"But ......"

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Aunt Mary sighed. "Anyway, he can find three wives and four concubines in the future, you just need to be a good wife and two grandmothers. I've come to you for something else. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Sheriff Falord has been transferred. Aunt Mary said. "Nominally a normal transfer of office, which took place at the same time as the transfer of office of the Governor. The matter has been confirmed, he will be transferred out of this area, and it will be publicly announced in two or three days. But I found out that the new sheriff was actually a ...... A strange guy who can't get this status at all. ”

The two sisters looked at each other suspiciously.

"Transfers are a normal thing. When the Governor is transferred, it is customary to transfer the Justices of the Peace...... But this time the new guy wasn't one of the people I had expected. There's definitely something wrong with that...... There is some kind of force behind it that interferes. Aunt Mary said softly. "I'm afraid that when I go out this time, I might find you in trouble. You have to be careful. If you're really in big trouble, you can go to Russell, the treasurer in the city. You all know him. ”

The two sisters nodded.

"I've made arrangements. Aunt Mary said. "I've asked someone to find the church to inquire about the news. If it is a threat from that side, then you should be informed in a timely manner...... But that's all I can do...... The point is that I don't know who is going to threaten you except the church, and you don't have any enemies, and you don't have any coveted value...... Is it to knock the mountain and shock the tiger to deal with me? But I'm obviously ......."

Aunt Mary groaned, unable to think of an answer for a moment.

"Anyway, before I come back, try to go out as little as possible and not cause trouble. In particular, don't touch your own compassion, such as taking in strangers for the night...... In short, you must be on the highest alert, for any unexpected event may harbor a conspiracy...... If it's money, it's a matter of money. It's really a big problem, you can talk to Ashrufat about solving it, he should be able to help. ”

"Auntie, I want to ask...... What are you for...... To Ashrufat...... So," Xing Ke finally couldn't hold back the question in his heart and spoke.

"Why do you think so highly of him?" the old woman laughed. "Actually, it's a very simple thing, but you don't necessarily understand it. Tell me, what do you think is the right thing to judge a man by, or what are the conditions for a man who is really worthy of marriage in your eyes?"

Although it was a question, Aunt Mary didn't actually give the two of them a chance to answer. "It would be nice to understand this way - by my standards, Ashrufat is definitely my favorite niece-in-law. If I had a daughter, or if I was thirty years younger, you two wouldn't even have a turn. Suddenly, she remembered something.

"But that engagement ...... It's a fake after all. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's real or not. As long as it is recognized and accepted by others, then what is false will also become true. On the contrary, if it is unanimously opposed by everyone, then the real will also become false. This," Mary's aunt looked at the faces of the two sisters. "Don't you know best?"

Neither was able to answer.

"As long as the three of us can keep it a secret, or the key is that you only need to keep this secret, then this marriage contract is real. There are witnesses, there are people involved, so what is there to doubt about this matter? Speaking of which, do you know that there is a lot of money in the Dao of the Devil and that there is a lot of money in the Dao of Ishrufat?"

"He bought a horse. Hoshimi said. "But I didn't ask him where he got the money. ”

"You don't care about your fiancé?"

Hoshimi lowered his head, but Hoshiki opened his mouth but didn't speak. In fact, they all know Lu Dao, at the beginning, Ashrufat was picked up and used as a disguise, but I don't know what Lu Dao is for, but my aunt took a fancy to him. The aunt's attitude changed very abruptly and resolutely, but she refused to explain the reason to them clearly.

"I think he must have picked up a money bag on the way. After a long time, Hoshimi replied. Then he bought a horse. ”

"It's like what you would say...... Studying magic or something, does it really turn your brains into elm bumps? Well, it's a bit weird indeed...... Well, or rather, the way he got his money seemed to be quite different from what I expected. Aunt Mary said. "The reason he bought a good horse was because he made a fortune in a small casino in town. ”

"Casino?"

"That's right. He went in and played a no-limit hand and won the bet. Not because he has very good gambling skills, but because he has a very strong gambling book, probably one or two thousand gold Ori...... In short, the advantage of funds was used to overwhelm the opponent. So that's the problem," said Aunt Mary. "Where did he get his rich gambling capital?"

"Even if he borrows it, he doesn't have a place to borrow it?" Xingke said suspiciously. Borrowing money is not an uncommon thing, but it is almost a miracle to borrow a large sum of money without collateral and without security. Of course, the other possibility is to steal and rob. But both of these are too bizarre.

"The only clue that can be found is that he seems to have exchanged a lot of money from the Silan Chamber of Commerce with a large bag of gold. Aunt Mary continued.

"But where did his gold come from?" Hoshimi asked.

"It's a secret, hehe. You should find out how you can get this answer. Aunt Mary replied. "Needless to say, it's not early, I have to leave early. Tell Ashrufat to come here. ”

The two sisters left the carriage. Aunt Mary didn't wait too long, and soon Ashrufat came to the carriage.

"Aunt Mary, may you find me......"

"I know that there are some things that outsiders really shouldn't ask, but as an elder, I have to be cheeky to ask you this question...... How's it going for you and the two of them? ”

Ashruphat felt a strange doubt. In his opinion, this old woman was not the kind of conservative and stubborn person, but she didn't know why she cared so much about this marriage contract. No, she didn't care about the contract itself—it was only a contract that would allow him to marry one of the two sisters, if Ashrufat was not mistaken. Of course, because of all the things that happened, it has now become marrying the two of them.

If we analyze the key points that Aunt Mary cared about in detail, we can understand that the key thing she cared about was not so much the marriage contract as Ashrufat herself.

"They always kept their distance from me. Ashrufat honestly admitted.

"So it's basically stayed the same?" Aunt Mary nodded. "Ashrufat, I must explain to you that this is ostensibly the rejection of you by the two of them, but in fact it is entirely due to your incompetence. ”

"This ......"
