After the Legend Chapter 210: Shadow of Darkness
An unknown light flashed in the eyes of the woman named Poppy, and she continued to wrap her neck softly, exhaling like a blue orchid: "Why? You are ready for the wedding, and you are going to welcome your bride tomorrow, why? Rosalind of the Da family! I can't dig her out of the grave and kill her again now, do you want me and the Heda to suddenly change our minds?"
Viscount Mandheling sighed, briefly narrated what his sister Elena had said, and said: "The most painful thing in my life is that Elena lost the happiness of her life, I I have always hated Xiao Tianjian for this reason, but now, things are completely different, the one who really harmed Elena was actually Helian marriage, how can I swallow this tone?!"
"But... Helen is not the daughter of Heda's family," Poppy said angrily. "Have you forgotten? She will marry you in the name of Francis. Little Heda opposed the marriage, and even cut ties with her mother. You also claimed before that you wanted to marry the queen's sister Helen, not the Heda widow, so you didn't care that she didn't have a large dowry, did you?"
"This..." Viscount Mandheling was at a loss for words, unwilling to admit that he had never given up the property of the Heda family in his heart
From Mrs. Helen, he learned that the two youngest sons of Heda's family are in harmony with their mother, and even if they are at odds for a while, they will sooner or later accept the reality
Albon is busy with work and has to go out for long hours every year; Aloy has poor eyesight and frail health; the widow and children of several deceased brothers have either returned to their parents' home or lived in the territory except themselves. Stepfather, who else can help their mother with the family business? At that time, even if he can't take over the wealth of the Heda family in an open and fair manner, at least he can be sure that those contacts and assets will gradually come into his own hands
But now, even the name Heda, he felt extremely filthy, to live with someone with this surname, and even to please the blood relatives of Rosalind to some extent, how could he bear it? !
He didn't say what was in his heart, but Poppy seemed to have guessed it, and whispered softly in his ear: "Since you hate them, why don't you take this opportunity and grab all their property? Think about it. Well, when the time comes, people with the surname Heda will become beggars, and you will be able to beat and scold them like mud! Haven't their family always been proud of their family? Isn't it the best way to get revenge by destroying their self-esteem? "
Viscount Mandheling was a little moved, but his reason still prevailed: "No, I originally planned to marry, just to use the relationship between Helen and the queen to revive the family, if I use this method to get revenge on the Heda family, It goes against my original intention."
Pobi Jiao pushed him angrily: "This is not good, that is not good, what do you want? If you want to take revenge, it is best to hold the wedding as usual. If you want to revive the family business, you must also marry Helen? Now you say you won't get married, what do you think?!"
Viscount Mandheling hurriedly coaxed her: "Darling, aren't you happy that I'm not getting married? I'm yours again" and embraced her as he spoke
A look of disgust flashed in Pobi's eyes, but she still stretched out her jade arm and hugged it back: "Of course I want you to be the only one in your heart, but I also want you to achieve your own wish and become the most respected noble in the country for you. I don't care if it works, but my you canceling the wedding will make the queen angry People outside will laugh at you"
Viscount Mandheling suddenly had a headache after thinking about it for a long time before he made a decision: "Then let's not cancel the wedding and temporarily postpone the wedding! I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning to see King Elena and bring Princess Diana. I believe that for this reason, the queen should not be in the mood to manage the wedding.”
He said it lightly, but he didn't have a clue in his heart, but anyway, his sister Elena was much more important than Helen. How could she let her face the enemy's relatives every day when she finally returned home? If the queen is really angry about this, he will try to find a way from the second prince. After all, it will be the second prince not the queen who will rule the country in the future
Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind. His eldest granddaughter is already eleven years old, and he is about the same age as the third prince. I heard that the two little princes have always been in a good relationship. If... his granddaughter can become the third prince's concubine. If...
He suddenly became more confident. There are very few noble daughters of the same age who can match his granddaughter in terms of appearance and character. This plan should be very feasible. He doesn't even need to ask the queen, just let the young third prince nod.
Let's go a step further and think that although the royal family has always had a tradition of late marriages, Princess Sarah is approaching marriage age. Although her youngest son is rambunctious, he is still quite outstanding compared to other noble children of the same age. Maybe he can do something to make a double Insurance...
Viscount Mandheling ran through countless thoughts in his mind, contemplating how to turn his thoughts into reality, but he didn't notice that the beauty in his arms was also in deep thought, with half-squinted purple eyes flashing Unknown light
Mandheling's house in the middle of the night, dim oil lamps are lit in the corridor, the shadows of the trees outside the window are reflected on the wall through the bowl, shaking gently, the wind blows the curtain, and the crystal chandeliers on the ceiling sound finely broken jingle
A dark figure walked out of the door slowly, stepping on the carpet and walking silently on the long corridor. Suddenly, he heard footsteps sounding in front of him, and the lights were gradually approaching. The dark shadow hurriedly opened a door and flashed. Go in and close the door again
A valet turned the corner, patrolled around with an oil lamp, and walked over without finding any doubts
The shadow reappeared outside the door and continued to walk in the original direction until it reached the end of the long outline on the fourth floor and got into an empty room
The room was full of debris, covered with cobwebs, and there was a crack in the corner window, and a gust of wind penetrated into the room through the crack, bringing up a little dust
The shadow was unmoved, just locked the door, walked to the middle of the room, pulled down the cloak, revealing a beautiful face, it was Viscount Mandheling's "mistress" Poppy
She whispered: "I'm here, you come out"
There was a black smoke behind the pile of debris, and a man in black came out, frowning and looking at Poppy: "You just came out like this? Aren't you afraid he will find out?!"
Poppy smiled contemptuously: "He probably thought he was holding a beauty for fun. No one in the whole mansion knew of my existence except the butler, and the housekeeper would only think I was the master's secret mistress. , will not be suspicious"
"It's better to be careful," the man said solemnly, "His youngest son is back, and there is a woman, who should also be a member of this family. They all have an aura that we hate. You'd better avoid them. Stay away, lest you be discovered"
"Got it" Poppy said casually, "His youngest son never found me when he was at home, so what does it matter if there's a woman now? Come on, I'll be careful, you Don't be verbose." Seeing the man's stern face and wanting to reprimand her, she hurriedly blocked her back, and immediately said her intention: "The woman who came back with his young son is his sister, who served as a saint in the Holy See for decades. Yes, but he has no ability, but he decided to cancel tomorrow's wedding because of his sister's words. What should I do? I persuaded him, but he
Ken let go"
"Is there such a thing?!" The man was a little surprised, "Is he unwilling to marry Helen, or is he just planning to postpone the wedding date?"
"Although he said it was only a temporary delay, I suspect he has given up on the idea," Poppy said eagerly, "What should we do? We've been preparing for this for a few months, so are we just giving up? ?"
"Why give up? Even if Mandheling can't be our tool, it doesn't mean we have no other way to get close to Heda's house!"
Poppy sighed, "It's easy to get close to Heda's house, but it's hard to find things. Our team has searched their houses for a whole year and found nothing. Now there is only Al Brother Ben and Helen have not searched Yidong's room, but in those three rooms there are magic tools and blessing magic circles of the Light God Sect. Our people can't go in at all." After a pause, she was a little discouraged: " And those two dead children are not tempted by me at all, they are two blind men at all!" If it wasn't for the two brothers being too alert, why would she go around such a big circle to fight that "thing" idea?
The man pondered for a moment, then said: "Let's wait and see for a while, it's best if you can convince Mandheling to change his mind, otherwise you don't need to waste time here. Before I think of a good way, I will send someone to dive in. I don't believe anyone who entered Heda's house to inquire, and even ordinary humans who talk about the God of Light can't approach those rooms!"
"But..." Poppy hesitated, "We've tried it before, haven't we? Does it make sense to send someone out every time we're caught approaching the door? Mine will raise alarms in their house. What if they find out what that thing means to us?"
The man was silent for a long time before he forced out a sentence: "Looks like... that dark thread is going to be used!"
~~~~~~=~~~~~~~~~ I am the dividing line for the next day~~~~~~~============
When Minna saw Alex again, it had been two days since they met in front of Mandheling's mansion. , he left home and came to the Rose Garden. He told the story from the beginning to the end of what his aunt told his father.
Ming Na couldn't help sighing: "So that's what happened back then, did your father really cancel the wedding?"
"Anyway, it won't be held in the near future. I will try my best to make it never happen." Alex laughed, "I heard that the Queen is not hoeing, but the Heda family didn't say anything. Mrs. Helen has already planned Returning to the territory in the near future, to avoid rumors, but His Majesty the King and several princes and princesses are happy for Princess Diana's return. The palace is renovating the princess's bedroom. Now Princess Diana is temporarily staying with Princess Sarah, even if the queen wants to do it It's not the time to order anything"
"It sounds good" Ming Na's mood also became more relaxed, "In this way, your father won't show me any more, right? Speaking of that, the lady of the Heda family is really too much! Even if my grandfather is not with her, why should she drag others to suffer?"
Alex smiled: "Actually, if your grandfather married Princess Diana, she probably wouldn't be so extreme, right? My aunt told me a lot of past events along the way, she said that at that time Rosalyn hated Mrs. Mirabell very much. She knew that Earl Shaw was going to marry Mrs. Mirabell, and she wrote to him, claiming that if he didn't stop her, she would accompany the princess to become a saint with my aunt. That day happened to be On the day of Earl Xiao's wedding, the representative of the Holy See was also there. The princess has already expressed her intention to become a saint. She forced my aunt to go with her
When her father and brother stopped her, she did not hesitate to quarrel with them without knowing the reason. Earl Xiao didn't come at all. The representatives of the Holy See thought they were all devout believers and quickly settled the matter. When she came down, Rosalind regretted it and asked her father and brother for help and refused, but the Duke of Heda felt very ashamed at the time, scolded her, and asked her to be a saint for a lifetime. After she went to Vatican, she almost cut off from her family. It was not until her brother took over as the head of the house that she resumed correspondence, but for some reason, she always wanted to go home, but she never made a request.”
Minna tilted her head: "I guess... her family doesn't allow it? Because no saint has ever abdicated at a young age, unless she herself is in poor health or... has a character problem! Heda's family Can't afford to lose face, right? Their family seems to be very concerned about the so-called 'Glory of Heda'"
Alex raised his eyebrows: "I see that you seem to be a lot smarter?"
Ming Na got angry, grinned and said: "I'm very smart!" She also picked up a thick pharmacopoeia and threw it there
Alex did not frown, and with a wave of his hand, he let the pharmacopoeia fall on the table next to him, and continued: "But I have some doubts, old Heda has been dead for more than 20 years. Since then, I have been in collusion with Moyu, and it is very rare to have a family member in the Central Holy See, and it has also been proved that Rosalind has indeed played a great role."
Ming Na remembered the troubles that occurred in Fan A a few years ago, and she felt the same. She thought of another thing: "You said just now that she wrote a letter to my grandfather? But my grandfather never mentioned it? I When I was young, I asked my grandfather about it, and he just smiled wryly, saying that he didn't expect them to be so decisive, and it was too late when he knew if he could stop them."
"Oh?" Alex straightened up~IndoMTL.com~ felt a little suspicious. If Earl Xiao didn't see the letter, so he didn't stop his aunt from becoming a saint in time, then why didn't he read it where?
"Cough..." A cough woke them up from their contemplation. It turned out that it was Marcy who brought tea. Minna and Alex immediately got up and took the tray. They smiled and thanked Marcy for answering, but not As usual, he turned and walked away, hesitating in place, as if he had something to say
Minna asked, "Marsie, do you have something to say?"
Alex also said, "Yes, Ms. Marcy, do you... know something?"
Marcy took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I don't know if it's true or not. Sister Mei Li once mentioned to me when I was a child-at that time she was Miss Mirabell's maid and she said... Mira Miss Bell has intercepted quite a few letters from other young ladies to His Excellency the Earl... er... I don't know if it's related..."
Minna and Alex looked at each other and suddenly realized
Back then, these noble girls were rivals in love. Who would let others ruin their wedding?
There was a knock at the door, Bailey walked in, looked at the silent three people with some curiosity, and said, "Mingna, the housekeeper of Kadoor just sent an invitation, saying it was the day after tomorrow. There was a ball in the evening, and the host invited all the members of Xiao—the Countess of Cardo, who said that he was a nobleman and told you to attend it.”
"Prom?" Minna frowned, she hated this kind of thing the most, especially the noble dance held in Ito! After taking the invitation, she opened it, frowned again, and handed it to Alex: "It's actually him!"
Written on the post, it is Jada Novella-Conkerson, Duke of Wellington, Norga Kingdom
