Examination of the Imperial Examination

They don't have as good eyesight as Rob Lowe. After entering the door, after a while of fumbling, Hassan Rahimi found the gas light switch and turned it gently with his hand.

Crack! despair! despair! There was a sound, the gas light was off, he pouted, took out a penny from his pocket and put it into the gas meter.

The dim light of the gas lamp came on, and several police officers could clearly see the situation in the living room. Although they didn't know what had happened here, they soon became busy with their own division of labor.

One person went to inform the others, and by the way, they found a carriage, and the rest of the people checked the house.

"It looks pretty good here, does anyone know who lives here?" One of them asked casually.

"I think I know," Hassan Rahimi said suddenly.

Originally, he didn't expect anyone to answer the police officer. After all, it wasn't his jurisdiction. He didn't expect Hassan Rahimi, who was the most capable of fighting in the police station, to know.

Hearing the sound, the others turned their heads. He looked at the brushes on the desk and said, "I guessed right, it should be Alvin Tieyan, a street artist."

After avoiding several waves of patrolling police all the way, Alvin finally arrived at No. 17 Jasmine Street, Mrs. Rosa's home. It has been a while since the salon ended. Looking at the dimmed lights in the villa, it seems that the servants have already Pack up and go to rest.

I don't know if others are sleeping or not, but I think Maid Mary must not be able to sleep. Alvin chuckled lightly, strode to the iron gate of the villa, knocked lightly, and after a while, he saw that two maids opened the villa door with a lamp and came over.

On the first floor of the villa, Alvin was sitting on the single sofa in the living room, with a cup of steaming black tea on the table in front of him.

The living room of the villa is on the second floor. Because his visit was too sudden, Mrs. Rosa had already fallen asleep, and was informed by the servant that she had woken up and asked Alvin to wait in the living room on the first floor.

After a while, Mrs. Rosa, accompanied by the personal maid Mary, appeared at the entrance of the stairs and walked towards the living room.

The maid Mary's expression was somewhat unnatural, and she was a little worried, she had never slept.

I heard the servant on the first floor say that Alvin was visiting and hoped to see Mrs. Rosa.

She panicked inexplicably in her heart. She didn't know if Alvin didn't go home, or.... Goddess blesses her, I hope this stranger is just here to retrieve what has fallen.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Rosa, for disturbing your sweet dream." Seeing Mrs. Rosa walking down the stairs, Alvin got up first and saluted.

"It doesn't matter, Alvin." Mrs. Rosa had long hair, although it was a little groomed, it could be seen that it was quite hasty.

"I'm so sorry"

Mrs. Rosa walked to the other sofa and sat down, looked at Alvin with a smile and said, "Can you tell me, what's the matter of coming here in such a hurry?"

"The reason why you are in such a hurry to return here, I think your maid, Ms. Mary, should know better." Alvin smiled at Mrs. Rosa and looked at the maid Mary not far behind her.

"Mary?" Mrs. Rosa was a little confused. She really couldn't think of what her personal maid had to do with Alvin, so she turned her head to look at Mary in confusion.

"Uh! Hehe, you're really joking, how could I possibly know?" Mary, who was in a disturbed mood when she saw Alvin's arrival, heard the topic suddenly turn to herself, and she became more and more nervous, holding her hands on her lower abdomen. The knuckles were subconsciously pinched a little white.

Seeing her maid's nervous look, Mrs. Rosa's expression became serious. She realized that Mary might have done something to Alvin, she didn't ask, and chose to continue listening.

"No, I'm not joking. Madam, your husband is hiding in my house tonight with two people holding a knife. Do you have any explanation?" Seeing Mary's nervous expression, Alvin's mouth twitched and his dark eyes looked at each other.

Hearing this sentence, Mary's heart suddenly fell to the bottom. She felt the eyes of the housekeeper and the other two servants looking at her from time to time, with an ugly smile on her face, "I don't understand what you are saying at all."

She still had a bit of luck in her heart, her husband and the others were three, and even if they didn't succeed, they would definitely run away.

"Holding a knife?" Mrs. Rosa frowned and looked at her maid in disappointment. From Mary's expression, she could tell that this was true. After five years of being together, they knew each other too well.

She didn't know what to say for a while. She looked at Alvin worriedly, and seeing that he was not injured, Mrs. Rosa felt relieved.

Feeling Mrs. Rosa's gaze, Alvin smiled slightly, saying that he was fine.

Seeing that the other party was still pretending to be crazy and selling stupid, it was obvious that he was still lucky, and sneered in his heart: "I won't cry if I don't see the coffin."

"Haha, it's okay if you don't understand. It doesn't matter if your husband is not. In fact, I admire that man who injured his arm and even came out to rob."

"Oh, by the way, they have been caught by me now, and the police will tell me everything" He added without waiting for the other party to answer.

After speaking, she did not care about the pale Mary, turned her head to Mrs. Rosa and said, "Mrs. Rosa, this is also the main reason for me to disturb you so late. I want to find a reliable lawyer to deal with this matter. , do you know anyone in this area?"

The conversation just now had a big impact on her. She sighed and looked at Alvin apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't even know that such a thing happened. Fortunately, you're fine."

"You don't need to apologize, this matter has nothing to do with you at all." Alvin shook his head gently, watching Mrs. Rosa speak seriously.

Speaking of which, this matter has nothing to do with her. Mrs. Rosa usually only takes care of him, and Alvin is too late to be grateful, so how could she blame her.

"Go and get the coachman, and go to Seagull Street in Rose District to invite lawyer Benoy." Mrs. Rosa turned her head and instructed the housekeeper next to her.

"No need for Mrs. Rosa, I can go with the coachman. I will go directly to the police station with Mr. Law. I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late." Alvin got up and gave a slight salute, saying his farewell.

He didn't propose to send Mary to the police station, nor did he ask her how she would punish Mary. This is respect for others. The rest is family affairs. It's not polite to meddle in it.

"You've changed a lot." Mrs. Rosa also got up, took a deep look at Alvin, and said with a smile.

"People always grow, don't they?" Alvin responded.

When he was about to reach the door, Alvin turned to look at Mary, who looked desperate: "Actually, I really want to know, with a good salary, even if your husband loses his income, you can still guarantee a basic life, what is it? What made you make such a choice?"

You must know that Klein's older brother supported their family of three with just over 1 pound of salary, and both of them went to good schools.

Mary turned her head to look at Alvin blankly, opened her mouth but didn't speak, and she didn't know why she got to where she is now.

In the past, when there was not much income, a family of three lived in an apartment with no separate bathroom, no gas chandeliers, and the family would be happy for a long time after having a good meal once in a while.

Later, although her income increased and her life became better, she was yearning for the life of a real rich man, so she began to pursue a decent life. She had to take a public carriage and buy decent clothes when she went out. How did she ever change? It has become like this, forgetting the simple happiness in the past, and how long has the family not sat and had a meal together.

Seeing her like this, Alvin could guess a little and said, "It seems that five years of working as a maid in a wealthy area did not teach you humility and awe, but was fascinated by the flamboyant glitz. "

Hearing these words, Mary suddenly fell to the ground, covering her face and crying bitterly.

After speaking, she saluted Mrs. Rosa, turned and left the gate of the villa.

Mrs. Rosa got up to send her off, and the housekeeper gestured to the remaining two maids, and followed.

After the two maids understood, they quickly walked behind Mary and looked at her to prevent her from suddenly doing something bad.

After sending Alvin away, Mrs. Rosa returned to the living room on the first floor, looked at Mary who was sitting on the ground in a state of embarrassment, and said with a sigh:

"I really didn't expect you to do such a thing. Don't worry, I won't tell the police about it, but if you do something wrong, you need to be punished. I will declare that you were fired for theft."

Mary raised her head when she heard these words, shook her head in tears, and said to Mrs. Rosa, "Ma'am, you can't do this, so I will never find a job as a maid again."

"No, Mary, just like what Emperor Roselle said, everyone has to pay for their choice. Obviously, this incident also shows that you are no longer suitable to be a servant." Looking at Mary because of tears With a smudged face, Mrs. Rosa shook her head.

"You give her this week's salary, let her leave tonight, and do the rest as I said. I'm a little tired, so I'll go to rest first." After that, he turned around and planned to go upstairs to rest. It gave her too much impact, and she needed a person to be quiet.

"But ma'am, you can take care of a strange street artist. I've served you for 5 years, you can't be generous or kind to me once?" Mary suddenly shouted at Mrs. Rosa's back~www .NovelMTL.com~ Mrs. Rosa stopped in her footsteps, turned around and looked at Mary, whose expression was completely distorted, raised her hand to rub her temple, and sighed softly: "Alvin is right, you are already in the prosperity of the upper class society. Lost yourself in the middle, you have served me for five years, but I also gave you five years' salary, and the salary I paid to the servants should be the most in this street."

Looking at Mary whose expression suddenly froze, she obviously had forgotten that Mrs. Rosa's weekly salary was the largest in this street, and she had already taken her employer's generosity for granted.

"Your husband was able to keep his job because of his injury. I also asked the housekeeper to say hello to the Viscountess."

Hearing this, Mary looked at the housekeeper blankly, and nodded when she saw the other party.

She used to show off to friends and relatives in the neighborhood. This is the result of her husband's hard work. He is quite outstanding in the company and is very appreciated by the boss. Even if he is injured for three months, the company will not fire him.

At this moment, her pride seemed to be stepped on the ground at once. It turned out that all this was just the charity and mercy of others.

"There is also the food that was lost at home. I told them not to pursue it. In fact, you were found the first day you took it. The reason why I didn't tell you this was because I was afraid of hurting your self-esteem." Mrs. Rosa turned around , did not look at his former maid again.

"Ma'am, forgive me this time, please!" At this moment, Mary suddenly stood up and tried to catch up, but was firmly held back by two servants.

And Mrs. Rosa didn't look back this time, and went straight up the stairs leading to the second floor.
