Quick travel: repaying a favor or taking revenge, the mission has the final say

Chapter 24: A Gentleman's Revenge? Ha! Cinderella is a woman 4

Most of his wife's attention was focused on their daughter, and he accidentally saw his wife's diary.

That diary was like Pandora's box, tempting him to open it!

From the diary, he learned that his wife was the posthumous child of the late Grand Duke.

The late Grand Duke was a legendary figure with a business mind! He single-handedly helped the king feed the entire country and the army.

It’s a pity that such wealth that rivals a country is too coveted!

The greedy king and the corrupt nobles tore the Grand Duke apart.

Soon, rumors began to spread that there was nothing of value in the Duke's Mansion, and that the Grand Duke had used all his money to build an underground kingdom. Not only were the houses made of gold, but even the roads were inlaid with gems.

Only the map and the Duchess disappeared.

The diary confirmed the existence of the map, but the Duchess passed away so suddenly that she didn't explain where the map was, what it looked like, or in what form it existed.

Originally, he thought that he would not covet this treasure, and would stick to his heart and love his wife and daughter as always. However, the extravagance and decadence of the world was irresistible, and he wanted to be more extravagant and enjoy more!

He had looked for it privately, but until his wife died, he didn't get any information about the treasure map.

He thought he was the only one who knew his wife's life experience. It was not until last night that he found out that he was the mantis who accidentally caught his wife, the cicada, and the king was the final winner, the oriole.

The king asked Marquis Hibbert to come and deliver a message: life or money!

Choose a life and be rewarded with a title.

Choose money and you will be rewarded with a cup of poisoned wine.

He chose his life without hesitation.

Marquis Hibbert handed him a grant and told him that from now on he would be called Polfus! Earl of Polfus!

She wrote a last letter as Lucette and asked the housekeeper to mail it, instructing the housekeeper to handle all household affairs and move the day after tomorrow.

The butler asked the maid to open the windows of the restaurant for ventilation, and told everyone to pack up the household items. After seeing that everyone was moving, the butler went out with the letter in his hand, satisfied.

The maid came quietly and said, "Master, it's open."

"So fast?!" Gu Tian raised his eyebrows.

I really didn't expect that her scumbag dad didn't hesitate at all! She thought he would think about it for two or three days, but he only thought about it for one night and half a day!

Gee tut.

"Dear Lillian, please go and get it." Gu Tian cast a coquettish glance at the maid.

Lillian blushed and glanced at her master before bowing and leaving.

After she found the scumbag father, she spent a lot of money to bribe the butler of the scumbag father. Except for the first contact which was done by letter, all other contacts were made through notes in the post office. The butler had no idea who bribed him.

Gu Tian dozed off while basking in the sun. He was really sleepy.

While she was dazed, Lillian came back.

After taking the letter, Gu Tian went straight upstairs to catch up on some sleep.

But Gu Tian, ​​who was lying on the bed, had no desire to sleep at all. He rubbed his hair in annoyance, then stood up, took out the letter and opened it.

Dear Louis,

Unfortunately, I have contracted a serious illness and I am afraid I will not be able to return home. I am worried about my wife and daughter at home, so I have made a will. Please help me convey it.

All the property in the main city under my name will belong to my wife Temani. The only requirement is that I raise my daughter Cinderella until she gets married.

Luset

Gu Tian was amazed that the letter could be read at a glance.

All the property in the main city! That's a pretty good calculation! Lucette has a lot of business outside of the city, and while he has a lot of properties in the main city, Indersky seems to have even more!

What she couldn't understand was why Lucette, who loved luxury and enjoyment, acted like a successful person in front of others despite having so much wealth, and apart from being particular about food and clothing, she was nothing out of the ordinary.

Arriving on the third floor, Gu Tian instantly perked up when he saw Lucette still in the study across from him.

Lucette picked up the quill on the table, pried open the drawer, took out a stack of papers, put them in a wooden box and locked it, put on his top hat, picked up the cane at hand and walked out.

"Lillian!!" Gu Tian went downstairs, grabbed his hat and cane and walked out.

"What do you want, Master?"

"Come with me!"

"It's the young master!"

Gu Tian took Lillian and followed Lucette, who was busy walking, into the church from a distance.

Because of Jane, Gu Tian was able to enter the church unimpeded.

"Father! I have committed many sins!"

"Oh, my child, God bless you! Is there something bothering you?"

Gu Tian carefully walked through the secret room to the outside of the priest's room, removed the mechanism, put his eyes close, and perfectly observed every move and word of the priest and Lucette.

"Father, due to some irresistible factors, I must make a choice between the two, but I am very uneasy and don't know how to choose!"

"Oh, my child, you have come to a fork in the road of life and you don't know what to choose?"

"Yes, Father, I am very confused. I will feel guilty no matter what choice I make!" Lucette suddenly became excited as he spoke.

"My child, please take a deep breath! Don't get excited!"

"Father, I don't want to be rejected by God! Please help me for God's sake!" Lucette was like a trapped beast, grabbing the priest's hand with a helpless look on his face.

"Okay, okay, you tell me first. For God's sake, I will help you if I can!"

"Father, no matter which one you choose, I will be separated from my family. One is eternal separation, the other is the possibility of reunion!"

"Oh my God! What's so tangled about this?! Of course I'd choose the one who can still be together!"

"Oh, thank God! Father, you are the guiding light on my life's path! Please accept my sincere gratitude!" Lucette took out a purse from his pocket and handed it to the priest with both hands. "Father, I'm about to leave, but I'm worried about my family. Please, for God's sake, help me deliver some things to my family!"

"I swear to God, I will bring it to you!" The priest stroked the purse in his hand and smiled more kindly.

"Thank you, Father!" Lucette took out the locked wooden box and handed it to the priest. "Father, please help me deliver this box to the home of Count Polfus in Zelin, the border city."

A hint of surprise appeared on the priest's kind face.

With his status, he didn't need to condescend to help deliver the things. He just needed to tell the priests or monks to soak their legs. But now it seemed that he had to go there himself.

"My child, no problem! I will definitely deliver it!"

"Father, please send it out in five days!" Lucette bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"It's all right, my child! Don't worry!"

Finally, they said goodbye to each other and left the room.

Gu Tian exited the secret room and reunited with Lillian. In the deserted corridor of the church, he quickly knocked Lucette unconscious and dragged her directly to Jane's room.

Jane, who was packing her luggage, was so frightened by someone who suddenly broke into the room that she almost dropped the clothes in her hands.

"Gu! Why is it you?! Oh my God! What did you do?"

"Sigh, Jane, stop talking nonsense! Come and give me a hand!" Gu Tian looked around to see that there was no one outside the door, then closed the door and locked it.

Jane stepped forward and tried to help Lillian lift the person on the ground, but failed to move him at all. Lillian pushed Jane away with disgust in her eyes, and directly grabbed Lucette by the back of the collar and dragged him to the open space in the room.

"Who is this?" Jane was very curious.

"Are you asking about standing or lying down?"
