After the Legend Chapter 13: The disturbed child


"I thought about it on the way back, probably he was implying that Veronica was actually not in danger, just deliberately didn't send a letter back, so as to lead him to make mistakes, and this was all a trap set by his competitors, And I suspect that I was also involved in it, I hope I don't harm him." Anlong hesitated, "If he really thinks so, then everything he does has an explanation, it is very likely that he did not treason, but he Misunderstood, and we misunderstood."

Xiao Tianjian snorted coldly: "Sophistry! Although the current security bureau has factional struggles, it is not so chaotic. What kind of thing is he?! People who entered the bureau at the same time as him are all responsible for the general bureau. He stayed in the division alone, and he has not made any great achievements for more than 20 years. If he is not old enough, he would not even be able to sit in the current seat! Who would look down on him? Competitors! Not to mention, Even if he suspects that someone is shadowing him, there is no reason to ignore the danger that his colleagues may encounter.

An Long was thoughtful, Xiao Tianjian slowed down when he saw that his son was awake: "Besides, you also know what Veronica is doing now, his guesses are all jokes. I see him I just thought you didn't know it, so I pretended to be drunk and said some plausible things to make you think he was really a good guy. He showed a lot of flaws before, and I can now say that your father is 90% likely to be the traitor. "

An Long thought for a while, and felt that his boss was indeed suspicious, so he couldn't help worrying: "Why did my father agree to attend their party on May Day? Wouldn't it be impossible to go back to Yidong with us?"

"Hmph, that fat man has a bad stomach, he is testing us, if I don't go, he will ask me what I plan to do, plus the reason he gave is indeed very good, if we really want to Looking for Veronica, it would be too suspicious not to agree, so I went with the flow. At that time, I just planned to stabilize him first, and it doesn't matter if he finds out when we go back, but I have another plan now."

He made his plans known. Although he doesn't go on the road with his son, he can let the people from the Xiao family's business cover them. After all, every two or three days, the business will have a convoy to Yidong City to deliver or pick up goods. As long as they hide them in the mezzanine of the carriage, there will be no problem. . At the same time, he can also create various illusions to confuse Amon and others, making them mistakenly think that Anlong is still in Meton or that he is in contact with Veronica there. whereabouts.

An Long frowned after hearing this: "The caravan's carriage has a mezzanine?" Xiao Tianjian didn't understand what he meant: "Yes, is there any problem? This is the practice, everyone does it this way. ." Anlong shook his head: "It's nothing, you are very thoughtful." Too thoughtful, and listening to the tone, the father doesn't care about the country's laws, has he never thought about his son's position as a state official? However, how could someone as powerful as him take this to heart? He came up with a good solution so quickly, much better than his original plan. An Long silently accepted his father's arrangement, but he felt a little heavy in his heart, and he didn't know why he felt this way.

Xiao Tianjian said with a smile: "You are still tender, but you are still smart, and you can be calm when you are in trouble. In the future, you should leave these tricks to me." After a pause, he hesitated before talking about it. Another thing: "The people from the Xiao family business just reported to me about your daughter-in-law, which seems a little strange."

Anlong hurriedly followed up with concern, Xiao Tianjian frowned and said, "She didn't go to the pier at all yesterday. People from the commercial firm were afraid of an accident, so they took them everywhere to look for her. It was not until she asked the driver that she realized that she was caught on the way. She was picked up by someone. This morning, they saw her on the dock with a man on the boat escorting the military, but handed over her daughter to someone else. I said son, what happened to your daughter-in-law? Who is that man? Shouldn't it be? Shall I get you a green hat to wear?"

Anlong became serious after hearing this. It was said that Dora would not easily go with someone she didn't know, so who would that man be? Ships escorting the armaments? Did you go to Matt Harbor? That was on the way, but the identity of the man still made him very concerned.

Xiao Tianjian saw his son's expression and said: "I don't care if your wife misunderstood you, it's not right for a woman to be so careful and don't know the general situation, if she really did something wrong to you, even if you No matter how much you pamper her, you won't be able to bear it, you know?!"

An Long didn't say anything. He believed that his wife would not betray him, but the most important thing was to find out the identity of the man. Suddenly, he thought: "Ming Na must know who it is. Have you asked her?"

"Of course I asked. The child is throwing a tantrum and refuses to talk to me. Why don't you ask? I didn't say it, it was too dangerous before. Both Veronica and Veronica are in danger, but unfortunately the child is ignorant and only knows to blame me."

Anlong is a little puzzled, what happened?

======================I am the dividing line that changes the perspective =================== ===

Minna was sitting by the kitchen stove, eating the orange cake that Marshall made for her, and complaining to the old housekeeper when she saw her father and grandfather come in. She wanted to greet her, but suddenly she thought of what they made He snorted and turned his head away angrily.

An Long smiled and said to her daughter, "What's the matter? I'm angry with my father? Just now my father went out to accompany others to dinner, is this not coming back? I haven't seen my father for a day, do you miss me?"

Sure, but...

"How can that woman live in our house?! It's because she made her angry that she left. Dad quickly chased that woman away and brought her back!" Minna yelled at her father angrily.

An Long was embarrassed for a while: "Minna, uh... Aunt Veronica just came to our house to recuperate, she will be gone soon..."

"I don't care! I want her to go now!"

"Don't be ridiculous, Xiao Mingna." Xiao Tianjian frowned when he saw his son's helpless appearance, "Dad and auntie are doing business, leave your child's house alone. Let me ask you, who is your mother with? Let's go together, you know?"

Ming Na pouted and turned her head to stare at the fire in the stove, but she refused to say anything. No matter how much her father and grandfather coaxed her, she would not listen, which gave them a headache. Seeing this, Marshall took the initiative to come over and say: "In fact, Madam Goodwin Goodwin • Mr. Chuloff took him to the North Fortress last night, because Mr. Chulof had something to do at night. The three of them, mother, daughter and Winnie, are staying in Master Chulov's room. This morning, Master Chulov also offered to take the initiative to go to Matt Harbor and drop off his wife on the way."

Anlong breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Tianjian hurriedly asked, "Chulov? Is that someone from your sister-in-law's family?"

Anlong hesitated for a moment, then replied: "It's Mrs. Lilith's younger brother. He used to pursue Dora."

Xiao Tianjian frowned when he heard the words: "What is he doing? Is he taking advantage of it? Your wife is too careless, how can you go with that kind of man?"

Anlong is not too worried: "It doesn't matter if it is him, I am classmates with him and know what he is like. He has always claimed to be a gentleman, and with his escort, Dora will arrive at Matt safely. And as long as Dora If he doesn't nod his head, he won't mess around, I believe Dora."

Even so, Xiao Tianjian is still not satisfied: "You are too indulgent to your wife, you are not angry when she leaves with another man. No matter if she has any mess with that man, when she comes back, You must teach her a good lesson."

"Father, don't say that, Dora is a good woman, I love her, she loves me, and I'm sure she won't betray me and our family."

Xiao Tianjian saw the anger on his son's face, so he had to stop talking, but when he turned his eyes to his granddaughter inadvertently, he saw the anger in the little girl's eyes unexpectedly, and couldn't help laughing: "Why? Now? Ming Na, are you still mad at Grandpa for not allowing you to speak?"

Ming Na shouted at him, "Grandpa is a bad guy!" She was really angry. Not only did Grandpa play tricks on her for no reason, but he also brought the vicious and bad woman into her house, and she is still talking about her mother's Bad thing, she hates grandpa the most!

Since then, she has been unwilling to forgive Xiao Tianjian, even if he bought her favorite chicken legs or candy, and gave her a lot of interesting alchemy gadgets, he could not coax her to change her mind, and finally admit defeat and admit it was herself He said the wrong thing, so he reluctantly changed back to his little granddaughter's glance. Who knew that Ming Na was very interested in his method of restraining herself that day and asked him to teach herself. Xiao Tianjian said that it was too difficult to teach, so Ming Na was angry with him again, which made him smile bitterly: Coaxing a child is really not an easy task.

Anlong was also not liked by his daughter. He refused to pick up his wife for a long time. Minna made a lot of troubles about this, and even got on with Veronica. , his attitude towards her is even worse than before: "You bad woman, get out of our house, we don't welcome you!"

Veronica sat on the bed, leaning against a stack of soft pillows, fiddling with the sword she had been away from for a long time, and glanced at Ming Na lightly: "It seems that your mother doesn't teach What is your etiquette upbringing, do you want me to teach you a lesson?" As she was talking, the sharp sword under her hand gently rubbed the edge of the scabbard, making a harsh sound.

Ming Na couldn't help but shivered, thinking of the chill in her throat that day, she involuntarily took a step back, but she was not willing to be intimidated by the other party, so she gathered up the courage to shout: " You are a bad woman! Shameless!"

Veronica squinted her eyes and sneered. The sword in her hand was drawn in half with a swipe, but she was stopped by the figure who came through the door: "Veronica, she is just a child! What do you want to do? !”

The person who came was Xiao Tianjian. He frowned and looked at the glamorous woman, but the other party just said lightly: "It's just to scare her, what do you think I'll do to her?" The sword was withdrawn.

Xiao Tianjian gave her a deadly look: "It's better not to let me see it a second time." He pulled his granddaughter and walked out. As soon as Ming Na went out, she began to struggle: "When will she leave? She is a big villain! I don't want her to live in our house!" Xiao Tianjian had no choice but to coax her and say: "Good boy, stop making trouble, she is getting better soon. I'll leave soon." Ming Na stopped struggling and looked at him suspiciously: "Really?" Xiao Tianjian nodded solemnly: "Really." Ming Na tilted her head and looked at him for a while, then shook her hand away turned and ran.

Xiao Tianjian looked at the back of his little granddaughter and sighed helplessly, but found that there was another person sighing next to him. He turned his head and saw that it was his son, An Long, and joked: "Bingshan Beauty's attitude is very unusual. , son, are you sure there is no adultery between you?"

An Long frowned: "What are you talking about, I already have a wife and children, and I only regard Veronica as my sister."

"What kind of sister is she?" Xiao Tianjian couldn't believe it. "Forget it, what can't you say to my father? Be honest. It's normal for a capable man to have one or two confidantes."

"Father!" Anlong held back his anger and didn't want to talk about this topic again, "I hope to be loyal to my wife and maintain my family. I don't want me to repeat my mother's tragedy as a girl who cares as much as a sister. I don't want my children to suffer the same fate as mine!" He turned and left, as indifferent as when his father first arrived.

Xiao Tianjian was a little embarrassed and began to regret bringing up this matter.

Perhaps his warning to Veronica worked, or maybe Minna didn't come to provoke when she learned that the "wicked woman" was going to leave soon, and there was a momentary pause between the two ladies. As time passed, when the whole small town began to make final preparations for the May Festival carnival, and the festival atmosphere became stronger and stronger, Veronica finally announced that she was leaving.

Without waiting for Minna to be happy, her mood immediately dropped to a low point. In the early hours of the next morning, while she was still sleeping, she vaguely heard her father bid her goodbye, and then his kiss on her forehead. She barely woke up, and found that there was no one else in the room but her, and there was a slight sound of hooves in front of the door. She rushed to the window in a hurry, and didn't even bother to put on her slippers. She only saw her father and that Veronica riding on the horse, saying something to her grandfather, and they ran away together on the horse, and then , even the grandfather went in the other direction.

She suddenly wanted to cry and felt cold, so she dragged her bare feet back to the bed and buried herself under the quilt.

Dad left too, and left with the bad woman without saying a word. Doesn't he want Minna too? Just like mom?

She sobbed softly, and the bed was wet with tears. After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to fall asleep again in a daze, but suddenly he felt a warm hand caressing him. Opening her red and swollen eyes, Marshall was looking at her tenderly: "My child, don't cry. Grandpa Marshall is still here."

The old games suddenly seemed to have lost their original appeal, and even her favorite food couldn't make her feel better. Minna just followed Marshall around the house obediently. Where is he going? She followed wherever she went, and sometimes helped him with some small work.

Sometimes Marshall couldn't see and pushed her out to play, and she had to hang out. But rumors about her parents had spread in the city, either that her mother had run off with someone, or that her father had gone on vacation with his lover. She retorted angrily, but the women smiled and avoided, the boys winked, and Brie's stepmother's son shouted at her, "Minna is the unwanted child, Minna is the unwanted child. ~”

Minna chased after her angrily, and the children scattered, leaving her alone in the middle of the road.

Since then, she has stopped playing around, playing knightly games, climbing trees, or even going to the woods she used to like to stroll around. Do doodles in the way she taught before~IndoMTL.com~ or take out her mother's poetry book and read it aloud, and ask Marshall if there are words you don't understand. She felt that if her mother knew she was so obedient, she would have gone home immediately.

But when she thought of her father, she felt that this was not enough, so she began to practice the little grappler and swordsmanship that had been abandoned for several days. It's a pity that she hasn't practiced for a few days, and no one is there to guide her. When she finds that her practice is getting worse, her temper becomes bad.

She became irritable, irritable, and angry at every turn, sometimes even throwing Marshall's hard-worked refreshments to the floor, but quickly regretted it and confessed to the old housekeeper in tears. Marshall didn't care, just comforting the restless child quietly.

The May Day celebrations have already begun, and the whole town is full of joy. Every now and then someone walks down the road in front of their house, laughing loudly, but Minna and Marshall didn't go. The dance that was being held was also absent. This was Dora's most important social event over the years, and she had been preparing for a long time for what she would wear at this year's prom.

Minna was in a sad mood and didn't care about anything else, but Marshall deliberately didn't remind her. The rumors in the city intensified, many of which were not well-meaning, and he couldn't let this poor kid get hit again.

The old and the young stayed at home quietly, Minna ate delicious cakes while listening to the old butler talking about all kinds of interesting things. At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and a tall figure entered.

"Why are you all at home? Didn't you go to play?" Xiao Tianjian grinned brightly, "I seem to be back a little late, but it's not too late, right?"

Ming Na stared blankly at her grandfather who had been missing for two days, and suddenly burst into tears.
