Lady of the Lord From the East

When I came, I brought a whole box of cosmetics, and when I went back, I didn't even have the box.

A woman's desire to buy is really terrifying. Although Wei Wei didn't intend to bring back the box of things, she was still a little surprised in the face of a group of people fighting for it.

Because there are so many things, the result that everyone wants is that the scene is almost the same as the auction, because Wei Wei does not sell the same as the black heart, but sells a whole set.

In the end, it is a matching thing. It is useless if it is alone. It is better to auction the whole set together. The person with the highest price will get it. The person who gets it in the end can help her spread the word.

Of course, she didn't take the initiative to say this, but the other ladies came up with it. Wei Wei just did what they wanted.

The final winner, unexpectedly and unexpectedly, was Countess Nelson.

Wei Wei has investigated before, the countess and the queen are really not on the right side, any time they collide, it is a war. If it is not for their status, the two will definitely be one over the other. situation that will arise.

So unless it is necessary, everyone in the noble circle knows that it is best to invite only one of them, or wait for a women's war to be staged.

This time, Queen Mirabelle made a big splash at the birthday banquet. If she hadn't left the venue too early and didn't collide with Count Nelson, she would have ridiculed Countess Nelson all over her body at that time.

This is something Mrs Nelson absolutely does not want to see!

Of course, in addition to thinking about herself, Countess Nelson is also thinking about her niece. Daisy was raised by her side, and she has been with her for many years. It is not without affection. No one cares about her niece who is seventeen years old. It was a headache for her, and she even considered whether to choose a good candidate for her husband from among her husband's knights. Otherwise, if Daisy was too old to marry, she would have to go to the monastery. Living.

But after covering up the freckles on her face, Countess Nelson found that her niece was still very good-looking. If she had such a face, it was not impossible to find a good fiancé.

So she is bound to get those cosmetics.

In the end, Countess Nelson spent three hundred and eighty gold coins to buy everything, including the expensive hand mirror.

Although the money is a bit distressing, after all, those things are used, although not many, they are considered second-hand goods, and the price of nearly 400 gold coins is really high.

But when she thought that the most expensive perfume other than the hand mirror was obviously given to her by Wei Wei, Countess Nelson felt that she had earned it herself.

So distressed and distressed, she will buy it again.

She even thought about the use. She could give Daisy the concealer and foundation. She could also give her the eyeshadow and lipstick she used today. The rest is hers. Anyway, as long as the little girl can cover up the freckles, A little light makeup looks good, and she is still young and her skin is good. Wherever she needs to maintain, essential oils and homemade masks are enough.

Every day Wei Wei said, is the formula of one of the facial masks specially designed to lighten spots? Daisy uses that one.

This lady hopes that these things will last until Sardinson County starts selling cosmetics, otherwise if she is seen by the woman Mila Belle, she still doesn't know how to mock her.

After the ownership of the cosmetics was determined, the ladies who didn't grab them could only suppress their frustration and jealousy and discuss various makeup techniques with Wei Wei with a smile.

Among them, the maids of Earl Nelson's family listened very carefully, because the work of applying makeup for the two hostess will definitely fall on their heads, so it is obviously impossible for them to practice precious cosmetics, if they are wasted. , even if they sell it, they can't afford it.

At the end of the party, Countess Nelson and her niece personally sent Wei Wei away, very reluctant to part: "See you at the next banquet."

"goodbye."

Wei Wei exchanged a close kiss with them before getting into the carriage.

The coachman flicked his whip, and the carriage began to run.

The nobles of the royal capital basically live in the central area. Earl Nelson's house is an old-fashioned aristocrat. The mansion is very close to the palace in the central area, while the mansion bought by Felix is ​​closer to the periphery. Although there is a certain distance between them because one is in the east and the other is in the west, it takes less than half an hour to drive around the main road of the palace by horse-drawn carriage, which can be said to be very close.

So this time, Wei Wei didn't take many people with her, except for Penny, the personal maid, there was only one driver, and even Qin was left to work in the house by her.

Countess Nelson's salon was arranged in the afternoon, and it ended at about four o'clock in the afternoon. Because it was winter, the days were short and the nights were long.

Wei Wei was sitting in the carriage, listening to Penny talking excitedly. Even though she seemed calm in the salon just now, she was actually nervous. Now that she left, she couldn't stop talking.

Wei Wei didn't stop her either. Anyway, there was no one else around. It was interesting to hear her thoughts on those ladies.

"Did you see Miss Clive's expression, she must have thought you would choose her."

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, but according to the time, they should not have returned home.

Wei Wei lifted the curtain of the car: "What's wrong?"

"Miss." The driver sitting in the driver's seat lowered his head sideways and replied, "The road ahead is blocked, do we need to take a detour?"

Wei Wei looked forward and saw that this section of the road was the main road next to the palace, with the palace wall on one side and the walls of other nobles' mansions on the other, and there was an overturned carriage on the road between the two, and the carriage was still standing beside it. While several people were checking the situation of the horses and cars, two gorgeously dressed women stood shivering by the side, looking either frightened or cold.

Indistinctly, several people who inspected the carriage could still be heard saying that the legs and axles of the horse were broken, and there was no way to go back now but to wait for someone to come.

At this time, she can choose to take a detour and go back from the other side, or she can step up to help out of humanitarianism, such as inviting the two ladies who should look like nobles to get on the bus. After all, it is still snowing in the sky and it is cold outside. .

And this road is close to the palace. There are only some alleys between the noble houses for the servants and the delivery carriages. If the carriages want to detour, the fastest way is to pass through those alleys. The entrance to the alley closest to them was where the carriage overturned.

But Wei Wei looked at the group, looked at the snow-covered ground again, and said decisively to the driver: "Don't detour, we'll go back to the palace!"

The driver didn't know where he was, but he resumed his whip as ordered, let the carriage go around the road, and went back.

Wei Wei took a last look at those people, her eyes turned to the direction of the carriage, and she looked alert.

Seeing that her face was wrong, Penny panicked: "What's the matter, miss?"

"Maybe I'm overreacting, but those people may be robbers." Wei Wei explained while staring at the road, paying attention to every alley that the carriage passed by: "They appeared by coincidence, and those people saw It's not right to get up, we have to be careful,"

Her voice was not concealed. Not only Penny heard it, but even the driver who was driving the car vaguely heard it. Now even the driver became nervous, and the speed of the carriage immediately accelerated.

Penny was even more frightened. She moved to the opposite side of Wei Wei and secretly opened the curtain a little to look back at those people.

The arc-shaped road made the carriage quickly disappear from the eyes of the other party. In the last scene, Penny saw that the few people had already stopped their original actions and were all staring at their carriage.

Penny covered her mouth. "God, they really have a problem!"

Even after leaving the scene of the accident, Wei Wei did not relax. She kept staring at those alleys, worried that someone would be ambushed in them and suddenly rush out after finding them.

But fortunately, the other party probably thought that they would take a detour at the scene of the carriage accident according to their plan, but they didn't expect that they would turn around and leave, so there were no accomplices in ambush in the remaining alleys.

"Don't worry too much, this is the central area after all, and even robbers don't dare to be too rampant."

Driven by the driver as if running for their lives, they soon reached the gate of the palace.

When the guards guarding the gate saw the carriage running rampantly, they thought they were attacked by the enemy and raised their weapons.

If he hadn't seen the aristocratic family crest on the carriage, I'm afraid those weapons would have stabbed mercilessly.

The guards shouted loudly: "Stop! Quickly stop! The forbidden area of ​​the palace, do not approach without permission!"

Fortunately, although the carriage looked like it was about to slam into the gate, under the control of the driver, the carriage successfully stopped at a safe distance.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the guards surrounded him, and the driver in the carriage was so frightened that he was too frightened to speak when faced with so many sharp spears.

Wei Wei, who almost thought the car was about to overturn, immediately opened the car door and said to the guards, "We belong to the family of Earl Williams."

Although the guards had not seen her, the carriage of the Earl Williams family was traveling in the palace for several days a few days ago. They naturally wrote down the earl's family crest, and Wei Wei was different from the Prady people's exotic country. The appearance has long been spread throughout the aristocratic circle, and these guards have naturally heard of it.

After confirming their identity, the leading guard captain motioned everyone to put away their weapons and saluted Wei Wei: "Dear Miss, what happened?"

Wei Wei pointed to the road when they came: "We were about to go home when an overturned carriage blocked the road. The ladies in the car seemed to be frightened. Could you please send someone over to help? ?"

She didn't say anything about her doubts, it was something that wasn't certain after all.

As soon as he heard that something had happened, and it was likely that something had happened to the nobles, the captain of the guard nodded immediately: "Of course, I am happy to serve you."

He turned around and asked the guards to find a team of guards who had not changed their shifts. He personally led the team and went in the direction Wei Wei said.

The guards left, but Wei Wei didn't leave. First, she wanted to make sure that those people really had a problem, and secondly, she was worried about whether the road on the other side would agree to an ambush.

After all, this main road is a ring road around the palace, and the Earl Williams mansion is on the other side. people, then the possibility of ambush on both sides is too great.

It's just that she didn't offend anyone, so why did this happen all of a sudden.

With this thought, she suddenly thought of Miss Clive.

At this time, Penny also came over and said nervously and in a low voice, "Miss, could it be the Clive family who did it?"

Only that young lady was hostile to Wei Wei.

"It's unlikely." Wei Wei shook her head: "We only officially meet today. Even if she was hostile to me before, it is impossible to set an ambush. If it is said that this kind of thing will happen after today, it is a bit possible, but this Obviously it was premeditated, but it is unlikely that she is."

Penny wondered, "Why do you think it was premeditated?"

Wei Wei said, "Have you noticed the ground where the carriage crashed?"

Penny thought for a while, but she didn't think anything was wrong, so she shook her head: "What happened to the ground?"

"There are no wheel marks on the ground." Wei Wei pointed out a problem: "The carriage looks very heavy. You see they have six people, so many people are sitting on the carriage, but there are no wheel marks on the ground, although it is said that now It's snowing, but it's impossible to cover up the wheel marks so quickly, right?"

Penny nodded, indicating that it was true.

"Of course, it's also possible that they came from the other side, so we didn't see the traces of the wheels, but did you notice how they were dressed?"

This Penny knew: "Six people, two ladies, and the remaining four men should be servants."

"That's right, only two of the six are worthy ladies, and the rest are male servants, but look at their carriage, does the driver's seat look like four servants can be seated?"

Penny's eyes widened: "Of course not, just that little carriage can squeeze three people."

Wei Wei nodded: "Yeah, not to mention that the four men look quite sturdy, I think it's almost enough to have two seats in the driver's seat of the carriage, so here comes the problem. In the driver's seat, where do the other two sit?"

"In the carriage?" Penny replied subconsciously, and quickly reacted: "Impossible, there are two ladies in the carriage, how could they let the servants sit in it!"

"Yes, everyone knows that noble ladies are very particular. Only maids and men of the same status can ride together. Those men don't seem to have such status."

In addition, although the two noble ladies were dressed gorgeously and looked like they were going to a banquet, it was too strange to stand in the snow on such a heavy snowy day without a cloak.

Of course, it could also be that the accident happened too suddenly and they forgot, but this accident was weird inside and out, and Wei Wei would rather suspect them with the greatest malice than take the risk.

"Anyway, there seem to be too many suspicious places, we just need to be careful," she concluded.

Penny nodded, and Wei Wei could just believe whatever she said.

After another period of time, the captain of the guard came back with someone, and he told Wei Wei that there were indeed traces of the overturned carriage ahead, but there was nothing there now.

"It should have been repaired and left."

"Is that so?" Wei Wei said with a sigh of relief, "That's great. I heard them say that the horse broke its leg and the axle was broken. It's great if it's all right."

Hearing this, the captain of the guard frowned, and immediately thought to himself that if what this lady heard was correct, how did the carriage leave?

He was suspicious, but he didn't show it on his face, but asked Wei Wei: "You seem to be quite frightened, why don't I ask my guard to **** you back."

Wei Wei originally wanted to ask him to send a bodyguard to the Earl's Mansion to call someone to pick him up. Hearing that he offered to **** her, she was naturally too happy.

So I quickly thanked: "Thank you so much! I don't know what to call you?"

"You're too kind, I'm Buck Green." As the captain of the palace guard, Buck Green had seen countless nobles, but it was the first time he had met such a polite noble lady, and she was still such a noblewoman. Pretty lady, I'm at a loss when facing Wei Wei at this moment.

"Okay, Mr. Green, then please send someone to take us back."

Buck Green sent Wei Wei the guards he had just brought to check, and sent them all the way back to the Earl's House.

There were no problems along the way, Wei Wei returned home smoothly.

The guards were about to leave after completing the task. Wei Wei quickly asked Penny to take a gold coin and gave it to them to thank them for their help.

A gold coin is a lot of money, but after escorting a short distance, there is such a windfall. The guards did not delay, took the gold coin, and saluted Wei Wei before leaving.

They left, and the carriage drove through the courtyard gate and stopped in front of the gate of the house. Felix, who was notified, drove out from the inside.

"What happened? The guard said that the royal guard sent you back."

"Go in and talk." Wei Wei took Felix's hand and got out of the carriage.

The two walked into the room hand in hand and sat on the chairs. Wei Wei explained what happened on the road and finally said, "I suspect they came to me on purpose, but I don't know why."

reason? Felix immediately thought of his own business, his brows were wrinkled, his blue eyes were like the sea before the storm, black and pressed: "If I don't want to catch you and threaten me, I just want to extract essential oils from you. the recipe."

Other than that, Felix couldn't think of any other reason.

As for why Wei Wei was found, in addition to her being his fiancee, many people are now afraid that they have already guessed that the development of Sardinson County and her inability to get rid of it, it is not a secret that the formula of the essential oil originally belonged to her. , as long as you inquire a little in Sardinson County, you can find out, and now, the cosmetics that Wei Wei gave to the queen is also the focus of attention, and everyone can see the interests represented, and these are enough to make many people take risks.

Wei Wei suddenly said, "You mean they might be in the same group as the people who stole from the essential oil store?"

Felix nodded: "It's very possible, but it may also be another group of people. There are many people who have concerns."

He continued, "Do you remember what they looked like?"

Wei Wei has a good memory. At that time, she looked at them because she was suspicious. Naturally, she remembered: "I drew it for you, but I don't rule out the possibility of them being disguised."

Although their plan did not seem to be very thorough, Wei Wei felt that the other party might have revealed their flaws because they despised herself too much.

She got up and took a pen and paper to draw the faces of the six people. If it was someone else, they would probably be a little far away and the sky was dark and it was difficult to see clearly, but Wei Wei has good eyesight and good night vision. The light in the evening is enough for her to see clearly. .

After drawing the appearance of six people, Wei Wei looked at the faces of the two noble ladies, and she was more and more sure that she was not suspicious.

"These two should be men disguised as women." I didn't notice it when I saw it before, but when I think about it now, the faces of the two people don't look like women.

"I will send someone to investigate. You and Dolores should pay special attention to safety during this time." Felix put away the portraits and made up his mind to send them more staff, especially Wei Wei. It is best to go out in the future. with him.

Thinking about the next few banquets, there is no restriction like today, only ladies can attend, Felix can be with them, no wonder those people are going to start today.

"You remember to report the crime." Wei Wei reminded: "Dare to carry out kidnapping near the palace, these people are too bold. For the safety of other nobles and even the royal family, we are obliged to report the crime."

Felix laughed immediately. Wei Wei's words were blunt. In fact, he used other nobles and even the royal family to intimidate the mastermind behind the scenes. If the matter really rises to the point of threatening the royal family, the king will definitely not stand by and watch, if he sends someone to investigate. , it is much more convenient than Felix, a foreign noble, to send someone to investigate.

"I know how to do it."

The next day, Felix went to the sheriff to report the case with the portrait that the artist had recreated.

When the person in charge of the Sheriff's Office saw the recently famous Earl, he was very shocked, and when he knew that he was here to report the case, he was even more frightened, and he broke out in cold sweat.

Felix's tone was low, and the noble's air was high: "If it weren't for the help of the Royal Guard, my fiancee might have suffered an accident. This kind of thing happened in the royal capital, or in the central area where the nobles lived. It's your dereliction of duty."

The sheriffs did not dare to refute the fact that the city guards were responsible for the security of the royal capital, especially the central area. These sheriffs were actually in charge of ordinary people in the central and lower urban areas, and the nobles were not at all involved. They will handle it.

But no one dared to say that at this time, they could only keep apologizing to Felix: "Yes, yes, it's all our dereliction of duty, please rest assured, we will definitely arrest these prisoners as quickly as possible. !"

Anyway, at this time, all the problems should be dealt with. As for how to deal with it later, of course, the city guards will be troubled.

Felix left with satisfaction.

Not long after that, the news about the kidnappers appearing in the central area of ​​the capital city, and the kidnappers seemed to be ambush and kidnapped by noble ladies who specially picked out the line, soon spread to the ears of all nobles, and these kidnappers She has not been arrested so far, which made all the ladies worry about their own safety.

For a time, while everyone increased the number of guards traveling, they also issued an ultimatum to the city guards, asking them to catch the prisoners as soon as possible.

As a result, it was not only the sheriff and the city guards who had a headache, but the mastermind behind the scenes even smashed his study angrily.

The author has something to say: Wei Wei: No one can fool my eyes!
