Ellen frowned in thought. The little fox beside her seemed to be counting the ants on the ground, but in fact she raised her eyes to look at Ellen secretly from time to time. She was a little kid, even though she was only fourteen years old. In fact, he is a quirky and cute little girl with a lot of thoughts. Allen is addicted to magic and practice on weekdays. He is most afraid of trouble. Catherine, the master and the old lady have to deal with all the worldly affairs. He may not be able to handle the things outside now. Furthermore, he seems to be a little ignorant of the world, and he may not be able to see the fishy nature of this matter, which makes the little fox Annie very worried. ¡°Where is my mother?¡± Allen, frowning, suddenly asked. "Two days ago, the old lady and my brother-in-law fainted after hearing the news about Now, brother-in-law, you have woken up, but the old lady still" the little fox Annie said in a low voice. Seeing Allen's face turn bad, she instantly understood that Allen was wrong, and quickly said, "The old lady's health is not serious. She has already seen the pharmacist. The pharmacist said that the old lady was too badly hit. I'm afraid I'll have to sleep for a day or two before I wake up. Apart from the sadness and hurt, there are no injuries. I can recover after a while." Allen then breathed a sigh of relief. Then he heard the faint sound of tit-for-tat coming from the front yard. Thinking that his mother was still resting at this moment, Allen couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "Those bastards, what a ****Annie, come with me!" Lun took the lead and walked in front, and the little fox Annie hurriedly followed behind, just like Allen's little tail, with a look of relief on her face. Some of those foreign stewards are from the master's old department, and some are talents that the master has finally invited. They have contributed a lot to the family. Sister Catherine is not favored by her brother-in-law and has little status in the family. I'm afraid she can't control these people. , Brother-in-law must go there in person. After walking through the long corridor, turning two corners, and arriving in front of a large room, Allen paused in his steps and felt a wave of emotions in his heart. This is his parents' room, and the one who is resting in it now is the mother who loves him and is extremely gentle in his memory. "Spell, sound isolation." Allen quickly made a few spells, recited a spell silently, then raised his hand, and a ray of light flew out, covering the entire room. The faint blue light bloomed for a while and then disappeared. , a soundproof formation that is imperceptible to the naked eye has surrounded the room. After finishing all this, Allen continued walking towards the front yard. Little fox Annie looked at Allen's back in surprise. In her impression, Allen was not such a careful person. In the front garden, Allen saw two groups of people confronting each other in the center of the garden, with about ten people on each side. In the center of the side closer to me, there is a red-haired woman who is very dazzling. The red hair was as bright as a flame, gently draped over her shoulders and back in waves. She is tall and tall, much taller than Allen now. She is wearing a floral dress with green flowers on a white background, which slightly exposes her back. The rows of buttons make her back look so slim. Sexy and charming. The corset tightened her waist and highlighted the plumpness of her hips. On both sides of her waist, there is a gun box, with an exquisite dwarf musket inserted in each. Allen watched her slightly raising her head and talking to people from a distance, and felt that she had an indescribable noble temperament. Although she was the daughter of a small medicine merchant, her parents had treated her as a noble since she was a child. A young lady is here to train her, and if you just chat with her for a few words without knowing her background, you will probably think that she is a girl from a wealthy family. Her skills are also very good. Allen can feel the fluctuations of her magic power from a distance. She is not much weaker than him. In addition, her body is well-proportioned and has no fat at all. It can be seen at a glance that she has been trained for a long time. A strong man with both magic and martial arts. After middle age, dual cultivation of magic and martial arts gradually becomes disadvantageous. Learning too much means that you are not good at learning anything. However, for some people who do not have outstanding qualifications in any aspect, dual cultivation of magic and martial arts is a good choice. It allows them to have the strength to surpass ordinary geniuses before they reach middle age. "If there was a serious fight, and Catherine had both guns in hand, I'm afraid Allen would have to stay away now. Among the group of people opposite Catherine, a man in his forties, tall and thin, with a middle-parted comb and a mustache, was confronting Catherine. He had a vague smile on his face, but he was not very powerful. In terms of power, he could not even compare to one-tenth of Catherine. However, the situation at this moment is obviously under the control of this weak person. He has a faint smile on his face, which seems to be mixed with a little ridicule, which makes Allen from a distance feel unhappy. . "Young madam, I received a letter from my hometown that my father is ill. If the master were here, he would definitely allow me to go home and take a look. Young madam, you block the store, withhold the documents, and put me?It would be too unkind to stay, right? "This man used his father's body as an excuse as soon as he opened his mouth, making it difficult for people to refuse to refute. Moreover, he spoke slowly and calmly, with an indescribable calmness and demeanor. If you argue with him, you will only see this expression on his face. , will be made furious, thus losing the grace, which makes people feel unreasonable. " Allen saw Catherine's hands trembling slightly from a distance. As long as she touched her hands to the handles of the guns on her waist, she was afraid of the next moment. The man opposite would have fallen into a pool of blood. However, she suppressed her emotions in the end, calmed down, and said calmly: "Fake is in charge of foreign affairs and has a heavy responsibility. Now I can't live without you at home. Besides, this matter is of great importance, and I can't make the decision without authorization. How about waiting for another day or two. The pharmacist said that the madam and the young master will wake up in a day or two, and let them make a decision then. How about it? "How could Catherine not know the reason why Manager Farke resigned at this time? She naturally heard the other party's words to provoke her! Just to maintain the stability and face of the family, she pretended not to hear it! Allen was far away! Looking at it, I just felt a sense of bitterness filling my chest. For such a beautiful woman, I don¡¯t know whether he was blinded by lard or possessed by ghosts before, and he couldn¡¯t see her beauty. ¡°Young Madam, I have a letter from home. He said that my father is seriously ill and won't let me go back. Can you bear the responsibility? Besides, as a son of man, if I don¡¯t go back at this time, how can I be worthy of my father¡¯s kindness in raising me? "Fake pretended to be angry, looked at Catherine and said. "Fake, now something happened to the master, the wife and the young master are both unconscious. This burden is all on the young lady. We, the stewards of the family, cannot share the young lady's worries. But at least he can't cause trouble for her, right? Since the pharmacist said that the old lady and the young master will wake up in the next two days, why not wait a day or two more and then ask the madam and the young master for instructions? "The old man in his fifties next to Catherine suddenly said. "This man is the internal steward of the family. Almost everything in the house goes through his hands. Whether it is the purchase of furniture or the transfer of personnel, he is in charge of it. He is responsible for the family. He has served for more than thirty years and has a very high status in the family. However, he does not interfere in foreign affairs and does not have many powerful contacts, so he is unable to suppress the foreign affairs. On weekdays, he also criticizes Allen and Catherine's marriage. , but after all, he is a loyal servant of the family. He is scheming and naturally sees that something is wrong with Foreign Steward Farke. He cannot suppress Farke alone, so he chooses to help Catherine maintain the stability of the family. There is another person beside the old man. A strong man in his thirties, this man is tall and powerful, as powerful as a bear, with thick limbs. You can tell he is powerful at first glance. He is the captain of the family's guard. This man is also loyal to the family. On weekdays, His attitude towards Catherine was the same as that of a housekeeper, but at this moment he was just like a housekeeper. Not far away from the two groups of people confronting her, many people were watching. These people either did not want to cause trouble or were unwilling to cause trouble. They all had ulterior motives and chose to stand aside at this time. However, Foreign Steward Fake sneered slightly. Even with the help of the inner steward, he would definitely win the game today. Suddenly, he was about to speak. But his eyes froze, and he skipped Catherine and looked behind her. Allen finally came over. He has been observing this place. Some people are loyal, some have double ambitions, and some are just sitting on the sidelines. He understood clearly. Catherine was now filled with grievances and had to hold on to maintain the stability of the family. She was really exhausted physically and mentally. She was waiting for Fa Ke to make a move, but the latter didn't make any move. She frowned and followed Fa Ke. Ke's eyes slowly turned back, and she saw Allen walking in her direction, with a teasing smile on his face, and his eyes fell on Fake not far away. For some reason, he saw Allen's eyes. Catherine immediately felt relieved Allen has woken up, so things will be much easier to handle. Although Allen usually doesn't pay much attention to her, if she seriously reports things to Allen, Allen will listen. . Fake's tricks can make her feel troublesome, but they won't work in front of the heir of this family. Catherine was thinking about how to report to Allen, but Allen didn't. He put on a warm smile, looked at her and said: "Linlin, what happened? ¡± Catherine¡¯s eyes were moist.
