After the Legend Chapter 10: Encounter
The tension between An Long and Dora temporarily stopped. The former hesitated for a while, and then opened his mouth to ask Xiao Tianjian for help: "Father, please help me persuade Dora, she will take Ming Na back to her mother's house." However, the husband stomped on her husband vigorously, took advantage of the opportunity for him to retreat in pain and snatched the box, turned his head to Xiao Tianjian and said loudly: "Sorry, didn't you always think that I was long-winded and boring? You must be more fond of good friends. Will your daughter be your daughter-in-law?" After saying that, he forced his daughter to go out.
Ming Na was crying loudly, dragging her mother's hand and refusing to leave. She really couldn't understand why her mother was so angry all of a sudden, and she had to take herself back to her parents' house. Seeing that her cry could not convince her mother, she had to turn to her grandfather for help.
Unfortunately, Xiao Tianjian has been stunned now, and the whole person is stunned, not understanding why his daughter-in-law, who has always been respectful and polite to him, is yelling at him. Winnie, who had entered the room at some point, hurriedly explained to him: "I'm really sorry, Your Excellency, Miss Dora is just mad. She definitely didn't mean to contradict you, please forgive her."
"It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised." The look on Xiao Tianjian's face fully explained this point, "I thought she was a long-winded little hen, but I didn't expect it to be a tigress..."
"Oh, Lord Count, it's too much of you to say that..." Winnie opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer, but she looked at the angry mistress, and there was a hint of agreement with him in her heart.
Dora got even more angry when she saw this: "Winnie! Didn't I tell you to find the carriage? Did you find it?!" Winnie hurriedly replied, "Oh, miss, in fact, I've asked everywhere. , I can only borrow the car of the nephew of the grocery store owner. He lives near the dock and has just delivered a delivery to his uncle. He can take us for a ride, but the car is probably... a bit unseemly."
As a matter of fact, she said it very euphemistically. Dora could see the carriage parked outside the door. It was pulled by a scrawny old horse. With a few pieces of straw rope, there are two greasy jars in the corner. The young coachman, who was wearing a grey shirt with two buttons missing from its original color, took off his straw hat, which was badly worn on the brim, and greeted her with a smile, revealing two large yellow die.
Dora gasped. Well, this car is really bad... decent, and the driver doesn't look very reliable, but she can't care so much now, she just wants to get out of this house as soon as possible. In any case, as long as they get to the pier ten kilometers away, they can change to boats and go down the Babe River to the port of Matt.
So she quickly ordered Winnie: "Go get your things and Minna's box, we'll leave right away!" Winnie wanted to say something else, but seeing her face, she hurried away.
At this time, Xiao Tianjian had already heard his son talk about the matter. Although Anlong was very anxious, he did not move. He just lowered his head and thought about it, then pulled his son aside and whispered to him: "Just let them Leave for now. Before I came back, I went to the northern fortress to make a sneak peek. Your boss is really suspicious. Fortunately, they still don't know that you are in touch with Veronica. In other places, you may not be able to hide from him. At that time, I and you will both **** Veronica to Idong, and only your wife and children will be left here. What if Amon takes the opportunity to arrest them and threaten you? Why don't you take this opportunity to let them avoid it, and when the matter is over, you can coax your wife back, won't you?"
An Long hesitated. Although his father's words made sense, he really didn't want his wife to continue to misunderstand, which would seriously damage the relationship between their husband and wife, and: "So, isn't it very dangerous for Uncle Marshall to stay?" Xiao Tianjian frowned slightly and said: "If he leaves, who will take care of your food and daily life? Besides, as long as your relatives are not there, who will arrest a housekeeper to threaten you?" After a pause, he added: "Don't worry. , this time back to Yidong, I'm going to intercede, if I can transfer you back or send you to another big city, maybe your wife will forgive you as soon as she's happy?"
Anlong's heart moved, he turned to look at his wife and daughter outside the door, and finally made up his mind.
But Dora didn't know the content of their conversation. She only saw her husband and father-in-law said a few words, and she didn't catch up, and her anger grew even stronger. There is no turning back now. If you give in at this time, will Anlong still look at her in the future? She dragged her daughter hard, and despite the child's protests, she half-pushed her into the carriage, climbed up herself, and when Winnie was seated in the carriage, she signaled the driver to set off. The carriage they were riding in wobbled and creaked onto the road.
At this time, Ming Na knew that she could not convince her mother, so she could only shout to her father and grandfather, hoping that they would come out to stop her mother's behavior, but An Long and Xiao Tianjian just stood by the door and watched them leave , the latter even soon disappeared. Only Winnie was waving a little handkerchief to them, crying: "Oh, my lord, the lady didn't mean it, we'll be back soon, I'll miss you, oh, my lord... "
When the house gradually disappeared from view, Ming Na finally accepted the fact that her father and grandfather didn't stop her mother from taking her away, and she could not help but tighten her face and shrank into the corner of the carriage in a daze.
Why is this happening? An hour ago, Dad was still talking about checking how he was practicing his little grappling skills. Grandpa just came back, and he didn't know if he had brought him a gift. Why did Mom suddenly get so angry, no matter how much she cried, Are you insisting on taking yourself back to your grandfather's house? Did Mom and Dad fight again? Does mom know about Aunt Veronica? However, they had never quarreled so much, and she didn't want to leave Dad, Grandpa and Grandpa Marshall!
It didn't take long before she realized that her mother was also in a daze, and Winnie was wiping the car under her buttocks with a handkerchief with disgust on her face, trying to make it a little cleaner, but at last she was scruples for the time being. I have to rely on the help of the owner of the car, and I didn't say anything ugly.
Minna cautiously asked her mother: "Mom, you...did you quarrel...with dad? Why?"
Dora said with a stern face: "Hmph, it's not because of that vicious woman! Your father actually lied to me that because the woman was sick, he wanted to send her back to Ito! He didn't even talk to us on May Day. We've been together!" She looked resentful, but when she noticed that the driver was pulling her ears back curiously, she lowered her voice: "Who is he lying to? That woman is as strong as an ox, how could she get sick so easily?!"
"But...she's really sick..." Ming Na muttered softly, since her mother already knew, she shouldn't be violating the agreement with her father, right?
"Even if I'm sick..." Dora suddenly woke up and stared at her daughter with wide eyes, "You know?! You already knew that your father was hiding something from me?! And you didn't tell me. ?!"
Ming Na hesitated. Could it be because her father didn't tell her about Aunt Veronica's illness, that she was so angry? She didn't know why she said: "Dad said that if mom found out, he would quarrel with him, so he told me not to say it. Mom, are you angry because of this?"
Dora was trembling with anger, and could no longer pay attention to the coachman's inquiries: "You're so mad at me! How can you...how can you help your father hide this from me! You..."
"Dora?" A male voice suddenly came from the side, a man galloping by on horseback pulled the reins, turned his horse's head and came to their carriage, "Why are you here? Little Mingna, Winnie , I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?"
It's Goodwin Chuloff.
========================================================================================================================== ===
Two hours later, Dora, with her daughter and babysitter, was in Goodwin's temporary residence in the North Fortress
Dora looked at the simple but well-crafted cherry wood furniture in the living room without a trace, feeling a little confused, wondering if she should come here. She tried to settle her daughter, who looked uncomfortable and wanted to leave. Seeing that Goodwin brought the servant into the room with tea, she signaled Winnie, who was standing beside her, to take good care of Minna.
Goodwin smiled and said to Dora, "I've already tipped you that lad, and the luggage is in the next room. How about trying the tea I brought? It may not taste as good as Xiao. The black tea from a commercial firm, but it is also a popular variety.”
Dora smiled reluctantly, took a sip of tea, and when she saw the servant go out, she whispered to him, "Thank you so much, I... I don't know what to say, you... actually don't need it. Do this."
Goodwin smiled: "We are relatives, aren't we? To be honest, I think your decision may be a little impulsive. Anyway, it is already evening, and it is impossible to get a boat to the pier at this time. At least until tomorrow morning. Leaving you three ladies out without a reliable company is not something I should do."
Dora lowered her head. She is calmer now than before, and she knows how reckless her actions are. Before setting off, she didn't think about whether there was a boat leaving, and she didn't even think about where to spend the night when there was no boat. There were only shoddy inns for coachmen or coolies near the wharf. Was she going to be crowded into a house with those rough people?
Seeing this, Goodwin couldn't bear to blame her anymore, so he turned his head and smiled at Ming Na and said, "Xiao Mingna, my uncle is going back to Yidong recently, and I will give it to my nephew, your lobby brother Bevin. I bought some gifts, just some little toys made by dwarves for the boys to play knight games, in the room diagonally opposite. But my uncle is really not sure about the children's preferences, I heard you are a smart one Boy, would you like to help Uncle take a look? Maybe you'd like to have one or two of them?"
Ming Na had started to take precautions when she saw him. Hearing him say this, she was not unmoved, but seeing him speak in this tone again, she was a little wary: Has he started to pretend to be a good person again? Is mom going to scold her again?
Seeing that she was just sitting still, Winnie became anxious and said quickly, "This is too rare, Miss Minna, don't you like playing knight games? Go and have a look?" Dora and Goodwin saluted and dragged Minna out the door. Minna looked back at her mother, just in time to see her smiling and thanking Goodwin.
Those toys, including hats, fake armors, masks, fake knight swords, and pony saddles, etc., are all exquisitely made and look exactly like adult formal equipment, but with different sizes and weights, and with safety in mind The issue of sex, the sword is not edged. In the past, Ming Na would have jumped for joy when she saw these, but now, when she looked at these long-awaited toys, she suddenly felt uninterested. No matter how Winnie led her to talk and play, she just kept looking at the diagonally opposite room, eager to know what her mother and that Uncle Goodwin were talking about. Why did her mother seem upset?
In the living room, after listening to Dora's remarks, Goodwin lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "That's because your husband wants to travel alone with that Miss Veronica without telling you. Are you mad at him? So..." He paused before continuing, "You still love your husband, don't you? Otherwise you wouldn't be mad."
Dora's eyes turned red: "Of course, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Until the carriage left, I thought he would stop me, just like before, he gave in to me, but I didn't expect..." She He lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
Goodwin fell silent, his hands clenched and unclenched under the coffee table, clenched and unclenched for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "That's right, you love him so much, no matter what happens It won't change. Then, for your happiness, I...I want to give you a little advice, maybe it can help you a little bit. But before you say it, please promise to forgive me, or I won't Dare to say it."
Dora looked at him gratefully: "Oh, Goodwin, you're so kind. Just go ahead, I don't blame you anyway."
Goodwin smiled: "Actually...I just think it's irrational for you to leave with Winnie with your child. I believe in your husband's love for you, but not so much for that lady. Understood. If...when you and the children were away, that lady said and did to your husband, but you didn't know anything about it, it's...not a happy situation. ."
Dora froze as if struck by lightning, why didn't she think of it? ! She left with the child like this. The rest of the family, father-in-law Xiao Tianjian probably prefers the latter between her and Veronica, and Marshall is simply from the Anlong family, and Brie has no weight at all, so As a result, wouldn't it just create opportunities for Anlong and Veronica? How could she be so stupid? !
She took two deep breaths and was about to say goodbye when she heard Goodwin say, "But if you go back like this now, I'm afraid your husband will think you've compromised, and that's not good for both of you. The situation in the future. How can this be done?"
When Dora heard the words, the little determination she had just gathered dissipated again. That's right, if he goes back at this time, no matter how much he protests in the future, Anlong will take it seriously. Do you want to watch him with that woman and swallow it? !
Goodwin glanced at her quietly and continued, "Maybe it would be a good idea to have a helper, but...I can't imagine a situation where you mother and daughter don't have a maid by your side, so Winnie can't go back. Yes. How about... let the child go back?"
Dora hesitated: "But that child is too young, she has never left my side, how can I leave her?"
"You don't have to worry too much about this. Don't you have a very capable housekeeper at home? And if there are children, An Long may not leave the house easily. If you can let the children understand your situation If you do, it may be a good helper. I believe that your husband will come to pick you up in person before long."
Dora was a little moved, but she couldn't bear to leave the child. While hesitating, Goodwin said with a smile, "You don't have to make a rush decision on this matter, it's getting late~IndoMTL.com~ I'll arrange it. For dinner, you all have a good rest here tonight. I'm going out after dinner, and I won't be staying the night here, so just use these rooms."
"Oh, this... how embarrassing is this?" Dora said apologetically, "Could it be that we made you leave?"
"Of course not, I was going out on a business trip, but I just happened to meet you before I came back." Goodwin laughed, "But don't worry, things will be sorted out soon. I originally made up my mind. Leave here at noon tomorrow and go back to Yidong. Since you are going back to Matt Harbor, I will walk a little longer and accompany you there first. Don’t worry about the ship.”
"It's just... too much trouble, you don't have to. You still have a job, right? How could it delay your business?"
"No trouble at all, in fact my deputy is planning to **** a batch of armaments to the naval base in Matt Harbor tomorrow, and I'm in charge of Ito's side, just need to exchange it. Shouldn't you? You would think that I would let the young wife of my relatives go on the road without a reliable man? And if you take my downwind boat, you don’t have to worry about the safety on the road, maybe Anlong will come to pick you up on the way. ." He smiled and looked at his pocket watch, "It's getting late, I'll ask someone to prepare dinner, you'll have a good rest first and see you later."
As soon as Goodwin left the room, Minna found out, and immediately left Winnie, who was chattering, and rushed to the room where her mother was, but accidentally bumped into someone, fell to the ground, looked up , only to find that it was a big fat man with a bald head and a big beard on his face, looking at himself apologetically: "Oh, child, are you all right? I'm so sorry, but I didn't see you in a hurry."
