Alexander's eyes darkened. If Lawrence, who happened to enter the door, hadn't helped him up, Alexander might have just passed by like this.

The atmosphere between those two people is too obvious, the kind of sweetness that cannot be inserted, especially Edward's vague hostility, all put away, the whole person looks like a big black who is lazily flicking his tail after a full meal. Leopard.

Tang Feiliu, who was wrapped in his arms, was nestled in Edward's arms, and while listening to Edward's low-pitched fairy tale book, he was looking at Edward with a smirk.

Sometimes people don't need to say anything, the aura and hormone surge in their body can make people guess whether they have had a good night.

But just when Alexander felt powerless, he saw the extra ring that suddenly appeared on Tang Feiliu's finger.

Alexander was very sensitive to these things, and he was an adult who had experienced experience. Seeing the ring at this moment, he supported Evans, smiled gratefully, and swallowed a mouthful of old blood in his heart.

At least... From the looks of this silly brother, he really found someone who put him on top of his heart.

Thinking about this, Alexander saw that Tang Feiliu had already spotted him, and was bending over Edward's arms to change directions, but he showed a little discomfort because of the curvature of his body.

And Edward was very nervous, he gently pinched his waist, hugged him, and adjusted his position to face Alexander.Alexander glanced at Edward. He was several years older than Tang Feiliu. He was raised as an heir since he was a child, and at least he learned to keep his face.He sat down and chatted with Tang Feiliu for a while, and when he talked about the dessert shop, he made an appointment with Tang Feiliu to wait for him to eat in the shop in two days, and said goodbye quickly.

Otherwise, Alexander was afraid that he would not be able to see the Duke, and the shocking news of killing the lord would happen.Alexander was actually a little lonely. That was the angel of their Doug family. It was a baby his mother bought with her life. His father told him since he was a child that he should take good care of his younger brother, who was very small and soft. A ball, brought up by him since he was a child, he taught his younger brother to learn to spell his name, and saw his blue eyes as bright as stars when he ate the cake for the first time, it was he who hugged the child around the mud puddle, Keep his feet from getting dirt.

Tang Feiliu was still a child. In every sense, it could be seen that this child had no understanding of human relations, but the Tang Feiliu I saw today was no longer the same. Although he was still innocent, there was a mature look between his eyebrows and eyes. .

Forcing himself to think of the little emerald snake ring, Alexander told himself, to be patient, just think that little Lance married a man!But thinking of the man Lance married who was a lot taller and stronger than Lance, holding Tang Feiliu in his arms like a brown bear hugging its prey... Alexander's heart burned.

Therefore, after leaving the castle, Alexander staggered and walked directly to the tavern.

The tavern was also open during the day, and some light meals would be served inside, but Alexander didn't have an appetite for food, so he ordered a large glass of malt wine, and directly began to drink away his worries.

After taking a sip, the taste of malt wine has a slightly sour taste, but I don’t know why, it’s very exciting-not long after I came to the city, Alexander, who hadn’t had time to drink outside, didn’t know that the whole Black Swan’s drinks are very famous, After all, one of the things that Edward has the fastest money for now is high alcohol.

Although the method of wine purification is not allowed to spread, the high-level drinks in Black Swan are relatively cheap. Therefore, in addition to traditional drinks, the drinks in the tavern will also place small orders from the factory. After all, there are many wealthy businessmen. When the black swan comes, they will also want to have a drink, and when they drink well, they will place orders of various amounts to the winery almost immediately, which in turn promotes the business of the winery, so the person in charge of the winery People also gave good prices to local taverns and hotels.

Alexander didn't know these things. In fact, he came to Black Swan and did not deceive Edward. He was really prepared to put his life and death at risk. He is the heir of the Doug family and Lance's brother. It has to be done, but now after some testing, His Excellency the Duke is obviously caring about Lance unexpectedly, and his caring made Alexander feel lucky for his stupid brother.

But this still can't stop Alexander's loneliness—after all, he missed the most important growth period of his younger brother. After his younger brother came back, he was picked up by the Duke and brought home. He barely had time to enjoy the intimacy with his younger brother. His treasures have already been taken away by others...

If this kind of mood is carefully analyzed, it is actually similar to the mood of the empty-nest old man left behind after the only child went out to find a partner. Let’s be picky. No matter how greedy you are, you will be surprised by everything Edward has done; But you said pure joy, right?Joy is joy. After all, that idiot brother has so many adventures. If he is a little careless, he might be labeled as an unknown person. Now that he has a powerful person to protect him, Alexander can rest assured...

But it was empty and sad.

Alexander drank his sorrows with alcohol, and he couldn't open his eyes when he drank, and then he heard someone next door drinking and drinking, and suddenly let out a small cry.

The sound was actually not noticeable in the noisy tavern, but it was closer to Alexander. When he heard the sound, he naturally turned his head away. Even though he was drunk, he was still a little surprised—the tavern is a place for men. , the appearance of children and women here is really shocking.

The woman... no, that still seemed to be a girl.She looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, with red hair and white skin, wearing a shabby hat, and the wine in her hand seemed to be the worst kind of rye wine. Tears come.

Alexander was drunk, and he only felt that at this moment, his mood seemed to coincide with this poor girl. He looked at the girl and asked softly, "Little girl, why did you come to this messy place?"

The girl raised her head, there were some light freckles on her cheekbones, her eyes were dark brown, completely soaked by tears at the moment, she cried and said: "... I'm going to die anyway, I still care about what messed up !"

These words were scary, Alexander felt that he was a little sober, he asked nervously, "Are you sick?"

"No!" The girl seemed to be distressed in her heart, and said simply, "I am the second daughter of the Vincent family on the mountain. My brother didn't give me a penny of dowry. For a sum of money to Lord Anderson of York Country...he's fifty years old!"

"Baron Anderson... Hasn't he already had a grandson?" Alexander was drunk, and he was thinking hard. After thinking for a long time, a greasy, fat old man's face appeared in his mind. Baron Anderson had a grandson. It is said that the harvest of his own beautiful manor is not bad, and he has an income of at least a thousand pounds a year... But he is too old, and first of all, he does not say whether he can impregnate a woman. Baron Anderson now has an heir!

If this young lady married, even if she was lucky enough to become pregnant, she would not have any inheritance rights. Maybe she would be kicked out of the house in the future and would have to raise the older child alone.

No wonder the young lady said that she was going to die. This kind of marriage is simply a dead end for the gentlemen and girls of today.

Alexander was in a bad mood when he heard that. Although the red-haired girl in front of him was not glamorous, she was also a delicate girl. She was still so young, how could her brother be so cruel and give her such a bad fate.

If Alexander had such a younger sister, he would make his younger sister happy even if he tried his best.

But Alexander had no way to intervene in this kind of thing. He felt uncomfortable hearing it, but the girl spoke frankly. After she told Barabara, a complete story appeared in front of Alexander's eyes—the first person in the old gentleman's family. The heir of a wife, the eldest daughter and the daughter of the second wife, old Vincent died unexpectedly and hastily. The lover who fell in love with Miss Vincent wanted to marry his lover, but Miss Vincent's brother, The serious heir refused to pay the dowry to Miss Vincent... As a result, the family of Miss Vincent's lover also chose to wait and see the marriage between her and his son.

After two years of delay, from the age of 17 to 19, Miss Vincent is about to become a big girl in the social world, and her lover has already planned to marry the girl she loves, but Miss Vincent received an arrangement from her brother. The object of marriage.

Her brother didn't want people to think that he delayed his sister's marriage. Most importantly, Miss Vincent Laura's half-sister, the eldest daughter of the Vincent family, Jenny, was Laura's lover who was going to marry!

Laura has no dowry, and Jenny is going to marry with two hundred pounds!So obviously, before Laura knew about it, the matter was almost settled, so Vincent wanted to exchange Laura's marriage for the baron's gift money before that, so that he could hold a beautiful wedding for his sister. And it also avoided Laura's embarrassment at the scene, and also prevented people from saying that Vincent was unkind, helping his own sister to rob his half-sister's lover.

And Laura Vincent's reaction to this was that she smiled sinisterly, and then said drunkenly: "I plan to kill myself before then, anyway, he can't take the money from selling me and do it for Jenny." What kind of wedding... or with the bastard Ross!"

This is decisive, but it is really desperate.

After Laura's elder brother inherited the manor, Laura's mother should have left the manor. If her family was strong, or if her son hadn't been so unreasonable, she might be able to take away her dowry—but obviously, the reason why From being a gentleman's daughter, to marrying someone who already had an heir, Laura's mom was there for a reason in her own right.

For example, there is no dowry, for example, the family is in decline, for example... the family has been inherited by outsiders.

Just like Laura today.

"What can you do when you're dead? You can only be disgusting if you're alive!" Alexander didn't know whether he was drunk or something else. At this moment, he slapped the table and said, "Do you know how to read? Can you count? !"

"All will." Miss Laura replied blankly, the sinister energy disappeared, she looked at the gentleman with blond hair, green eyes and drunken eyes, although she didn't understand, but she was too much today. Wanting to vent, she simply continued, "Don't look at how miserable I am now, when Dad was here, I also had my own tutor!"

"Okay, then I'll offer you a job, why don't you die first?" Alexander actually didn't know what he was doing at the moment. He went for a walk to the castle, and the shop just opened recently. Dan was busy in the store, so when Alexander said so arrogantly, Miss Laura didn't take it seriously. She laughed and said, "OK, sir, what position can you offer me?" Huh? A factory worker? Then my brother wouldn't let me leave the house because of that."

"...No, let me think about it..." Alexander continued to drink, and blurted out, "Chief maid? Well...how about you try being my housekeeper?"

"Housekeeper? It seems good...but my brother won't agree." Miss Laura smiled and said seriously, "But thank you for your willingness to try to help me. Goodbye, kind sir."

She smiled brightly, and the freckles on her face seemed to jump up. She turned around and left with her big braids. Good material.

Alexander finally lost consciousness completely after drinking, and fell on the table with a thud.

Beside him, a young man with a lowered hat moved, he came to help Alexander, and wanted to take the drunk Alexander out of the tavern.
