house fighting in another world

"Sister, don't worry, the position of the patriarch's wife belongs to you!" Udulla comforted softly.

Lisa Manda said with a smile: "I would also like to thank my sister for her support. My sister does not dislike my background."

"What did you say?" Udulla interrupted Lisa Manda: "Can I still not know what your background is? Those people don't understand, how can I not understand?"

Lisa Manda shook slightly, with tears of gratitude in her eyes, her voice trembling: "Sister, I..."

Udulla leaned over and hugged Lisa Manda with a sincere tone: "I have seen all the suffering you have suffered these years. Don't worry, my sister will help you get justice."

"Thank you sister!" Lisa Manda was grateful.

It's just that the two hugging each other bent their lips tacitly at the same time at an angle that they couldn't see each other, for the goal they have already achieved or are about to achieve.

……

In Duke Sweet's mansion, Oliver, who had been in a coma for many days, finally opened his eyes. His slack eyes gradually gathered, his whole body was screaming with pain, and his throat was as uncomfortable as a fire. He opened his mouth: "Come on."

The maid guarding the room immediately trotted to the bedside, with a look of surprise on her face: "Master is awake! Go and tell your lord!"

After receiving the news, Sweet strode to Oliver's bedroom: "Are you awake?"

After drinking some water, Oliver's spirit improved a lot: "Father."

Sweet was relieved and reprimanded with a straight face at the same time: "You still have the guts to call me father! Look at the good deeds you have done!"

Oliver frowned, and asked pitifully: "Father, how is the injury on my body? Why can't I feel anything?"

"How is it? Your whole body is burned off, what do you think? Your two legs are almost useless!" Even the lifeline is almost lost!These words circled around in the Duke of Sweet's mouth, but finally he still didn't say it. After all, he was his own child, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't live up to it.

Oliver, who had a deep understanding of his father's character, immediately said, "It's all Casper's fault! That guy dared to use an intermediate magic scroll on me and even blocked the exit!"

"You have the guts to say it! What kind of woman are you not easy to mess with? You insist on messing with that lunatic's wife! I wish you could be burned to death like that woman, so as not to be embarrassing! I want you to come out and make a fuss!" It must be known all over the city! There is no place to put this old face of mine!"

Oliver knew he was wrong, so he shrank his neck and remained silent.

Sweet looked at the half-dead Oliver lying on the bed, wrapped in gauze, even if he invited the best priest to use the most advanced healing technique, there were still many scars on his body. Damn Casper, he was too sinister and vicious Oh, isn't it just a woman who burned his son like this!

After calming down the irritability in his heart, Sweet sat on the side of the bed: "You tell me the situation that day in detail."

Oliver is not an idiot, so he immediately guessed that something important happened after he passed out, and tried to recall: "At that time, I just entered the Viscount's mansion, a maid came over and handed me a note, saying Ka... um , Said that the woman was looking for me, I found a place where no one was around and opened the note, she asked me to go to the secret room, those secret rooms are the places where Kasper enjoys himself on weekdays, I thought he was going to have a banquet tonight, decidedly I won’t go, so I found a space to go there. Then I was with that woman, and then I was burned..." Oliver spoke in a softer voice, his eyes drifted, and he didn’t dare to look at Si Witt's face became even more ugly.

Sweet snorted coldly: "Where is the note? Do you remember the maid?"

"The note was burned at that time, and it was written by the woman. The maid looked very ordinary, and I can't remember it." Oliver finished speaking in a low voice, and seemed to suddenly think of something, "I met her, she was the first The sentence seems to be: 'Seeing that you are so anxious, do you miss me so much?'”

Sweet's eyes froze: "Do you remember clearly? You didn't say this when you touched her as soon as you entered the door?"

When it came to business, Oliver didn't care about his face: "No, I just entered the house and didn't touch her."

Sweet has been sending people to investigate secretly for the past few days. What happened that night looks like a trap, even a serial plan. From Oliver's accident, he was the first to know the news, and ordered the guards to surround him in a moment of desperation. Lived in Viscount Casper's mansion, and finally the emperor came in person and was deprived of military power.They seem to be unrelated, but they are intertwined, more like he stepped into a trap step by step.This recognition sent a chill down Sweet's spine, who has such a wrist to arrange such a situation!

Although Oliver is romantic, he is a smart person, and he can guess one or two from Sweet's expression: "Father, what happened after that night?"

With a sullen face, Sweet briefly described what happened afterwards, but finally pressed down on the fact that the emperor took the opportunity to seize part of his military power. Oliver needs to rest temporarily, and he should wait until he gets better to tell him about the loss of his official position. .

"This is a trap!" Oliver obviously wanted to go with Sweet, "That woman must have been asked out by someone else too! Why didn't I think of it then!"

Sweet wanted to curse a few more words, but suppressed it after seeing Oliver's appearance, and asked instead: "Who do you think will do it, Casper?"

Oliver: "Can that idiot Casper come up with such a way? I think Ryan is also suspicious. Didn't he leave early that night? Why did he leave early alone, and the others waited for you to go?" Walk."

"He was attacked and injured on the way back to the Earl's Mansion that night."

"Maybe just to avoid suspicion, I deliberately sent someone to attack me to erase my suspicion."

Sweet kept silent. It's not like he didn't think about this possibility, but he always believed that Ryan was just angry with him and would return to the Will family sooner or later, so he didn't have too much doubt about him subconsciously. , and the surprise attack that night, the emperor has ordered a thorough investigation, and it will be clear when the results come out.

Oliver didn't hold on to it, and turned to other aspects in a blink of an eye: "Father, Earl Angus seems to have made a lot of moves recently. Could it be that he is targeting us?"

"It's just him?" Sweet got up abruptly, turned around and walked out, "Heal your injury well, I will definitely investigate this matter, my son, Sweet, it's not anyone else's turn to mess with it!"

……

In the meeting room, the regular meeting is still in progress. Compared with yesterday's cryptic proposal, everyone's attitude is a little clearer today, or Lisa Manda's bribery has achieved more obvious results, and she agrees to become the patriarch's wife There are as many as one-third of the people here. You must know that in the past few years, these people here did not take her very seriously. After all, they also have the pride of being members of the Ashfield family.

Angus still didn't respond, but just set his eyes on Sawyer, obviously wanting to hear what he meant. Seeing this, the voices of the people gradually lowered their discussion. After all, what happened yesterday is still vivid in their minds. Besides, The smile on Sawyer's face was really unpredictable.

Sawyer stood up, put his fingers on the table, leaned forward slightly, and said word by word: "The Ashfield family's family rules are the first. The Ashfield family swears to defend the Roman Empire and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Now the queen is blatantly wooing Li Samantha, you are so defenseless about this, you even want to jump into this trap, and put the Ashfield family on the edge of the precipice of treachery. Sawyer is really disappointed in all the uncles!"

The words were so loud that those people turned pale. The hat was buttoned up too much, and when they opened their mouths, someone retorted subconsciously: "Master Sawyer, who in the entire empire doesn't know that the empress has deep feelings, like glue, and the empress means the emperor's love." Meaning, not to mention such a trivial matter as recognizing a younger sister."

"You also know that this is a trivial matter. If that's the case, why did you change your tone when the queen came? I never knew that our Ashfield family would have a day to curry favor with the queen, and even go after her to please her." A maid, is the surname of the Ashfield family in your name just a decoration?" Sawyer's sharp words made everyone blush, and he was still not satisfied, and continued, "What's more, Her Majesty the Queen is not the only one in the harem , and the three favored wives, why did the emperor not love them? What made you believe that the emperor and the empress will always be glued to each other? For the sake of a mere maid, you didn’t hesitate to risk the emperor’s heart. Such an upside-down matter You guys did everything you could!"

The meeting room was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling. No one thought that Sawyer, who had always been cold and aloof, would have such an imposing side. Everyone who was reprimanded by him was even more ashamed. It is really embarrassing for the big hat to be buckled down, and coupled with the short hand of holding people, the guilty conscience is even more uneasy.

"Sawyer, don't be rude to your elders." Angus's cold voice still had no emotion, and there was no hint of reproach in his words.

Sawyer put away his aggressive posture, bowed meekly, and it was the young master who was polite and well-founded again: "Yes, my lord father, I was rude, and I hope all uncles will forgive me."

"Ahem, Master Sawyer is right. The Ashfield family has always only obeyed His Majesty the Emperor, and only guarded our Roman Empire. Don't care about the rest." This time it was the elder who spoke. He turned his head and looked at Looking at Sawyer's upright figure, he said slowly, "Sawyer, I watched you grow up, let me tell you a few words, would you like to listen?"

Sawyer's voice also softened: "Grandpa, you said."

"When Madam married in that year, she served me tea with her own hands. Although I am old, I still remember the situation of that day. Madam is unique. No matter in the past or in the future, I am afraid that there will be no one who can match her. Her person. It's not just you, baby, we all miss her."

The Great Elder stretched out his skinny hand and lightly stroked the armrest of the chair beside him, full of nostalgia: "It's been ten years, and this seat has been vacant for her for ten years. If I hadn't heard them mention it, I even felt that it would have been vacant forever." It’s not impossible.”

Sawyer listened quietly, waiting for the next words from the Great Elder.

"Son, you want to hold this position for your mother, and you don't want other women to get involved. I can understand, and we don't blame you. It's just that some things are beyond our control. The dignified Ashfield family can't live without a mistress, the family The affairs of the family need a mistress to take care of, and the girls also need a role model to learn from, these are things that the patriarch cannot do."

"Sawyer, I use this old bone to assure you that no one will defile the vacancy left by your mother! Will you trust me once?"
