Please charm this NPC

As long as there is a goal, the next action will be much clearer.

Due to the superficial competitive relationship between the two, it is definitely impossible to inquire about the news together, so the final result of the discussion is still Ran Wenyu.

Ran Wenyu's status as a commoner made it easier for him to integrate into the group of servants, and his communication was much more convenient than Augustus, a high-ranking businessman.If Augustus' conversation with the maid Lisa can be explained by young people's teasing of beautiful girls, it would be too heavy-handed to replace the object with the fat aunt Emily in her 50s.

As for how to create opportunities for Ran Wenyu and Emily to be alone, the two had a plan after a little discussion.Therefore, Ran Wenyu spent this dinner quite absent-mindedly.

Early this morning, everyone knew that Ran Wenyu was a little depressed, and it didn't seem out of the ordinary that this depression lasted until dinner time.

Even Robert the butler couldn't bear it. He stood by the dining table, hesitated for a long time, and finally didn't ask the two successors about today's study progress, for fear of continuing to hit Ran Wenyu's fragile heart.

——This disappointed Ran Wenyu and Augustus, who had read philosophy books for a long time and racked their brains to write a short composition with something to say.It's like staying up late to review until the early morning, stepping into the exam room full of confidence, only to find out that the exam is cancelled.

This bad heart, Ran Wenyu's frustration became more sincere, and he expressed his emotions of worrying and not knowing what to eat to the fullest.He just ate a few mouthfuls casually, then presumed that he was full, got up and left the restaurant.

Watching him leave, everyone else in the restaurant frowned slightly, unable to hide their worry.Augustus looked at the situation, and opened his mouth according to the plan: "Mr. Ran didn't eat much tonight, is it okay?"

Butler Robert sighed and shook his head.

"...How about it, housekeeper, can you ask the cook to cook some supper for Mr. Ran? That way he won't be too hard when he's hungry at night." Augustus suggested with a smile.

Robert looked at Augustus in surprise: "I never thought that Master Tang would care about Master Ran so much."

Augustus chuckled and shrugged his shoulders: "I've been staying with Mr. Ran for the past two days. Although I haven't had much communication, I'm not a stranger anymore. It's not surprising that I care a little bit. After all... ..." He raised his eyebrows, "Although he is a man, Mr. Ran is a real beauty. Who wouldn't like such a beautiful person?"

Slowly cutting the steak on the plate, Augustus spoke with a touch of arrogance and extreme confidence: "What's more, I am very confident in my ability and the final result."

Augustus didn't talk nonsense either. After all, although he and Ran Wenyu are in a competitive relationship, anyone can see that the gap between the two is far away, and Ran Wenyu is not enough to pose any threat to Augustus.And since there is no threat, when facing beautiful young men, it is inevitable that men who like to appreciate good colors will have more care and pity.

——Of course, if Ran Wenyu and Augustus were evenly matched, he might be able to change his rhetoric, such as heroic love or something.

Obviously, Augustus' explanation was reasonable and did not arouse any doubts in Robert.He bowed and replied, "Okay, Young Master Tang, I will order Emily to make some supper for Young Master Ran and send it to his room."

Augustus breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with a faint smile, and stopped caring about this matter, after all, too much was too late.

Since there was no news from Augustus, it means that everything went well.Therefore, on this night, Ran Wenyu didn't run out and wander around, but stayed in his room peacefully with his gurgling stomach, waiting patiently for the arrival of the cook Emily.

About nine o'clock there was a soft knock on his door.Ran Wenyu's expression froze for a moment, he quickly adjusted his expression, and opened the door suspiciously.

Sure enough, Emily was standing outside the door with a tray.She is a fat woman in her 50s, with flaxen hair and eyes, and always has a gentle smile. Emily explained the situation briefly, and then stuffed the tray with supper into Ran Wenyu's hand : "Even if you are in a bad mood, please treat Master Ran to something to eat. Don't make trouble with your body."

Ran Wenyu took the tray and thanked her. Seeing that Emily had completed the task and turned to leave, he quickly opened his mouth and stopped her.

Emily stopped and looked at him suspiciously: "Does Master Ran have any other orders?"

"Please don't talk to me like this. I'm a poor boy. It's too awkward to be treated like a nobleman." Ran Wenyu touched his nose with a hand, and there were two blobs of shyness on his fair face. flushed, "I, can I call you Aunt Emily?"

Emily froze for a moment, and waved her hands hastily, but Ran Wenyu ignored her refusal: "Aunt Emily, can you come in and talk to me? I'm alone, I'm in a mess, and I want to talk to someone "While speaking, Ran Wenyu blinked his eyes. His misty black eyes were soft and obedient, like a little puppy staring intently at its master. It was impossible to refuse, "My parents passed away very early. , I don’t know why, I always feel that Aunt Emily has a kind of mother feeling, which makes me want to be close.”

He is obviously a tall, thin, adult man, but Ran Wenyu knows how to use his appearance and voice to arouse a woman's motherhood.

With just a few words, Emily's heart softened into a puddle of water. She really couldn't ignore the young man obediently relying on her in front of her, so she could only wipe her hands with her apron awkwardly, then nodded and agreed, Walked into Ran Wenyu's room.

The cheeky and decisive recognition of his mother was outstanding, Ran Wenyu was not ashamed at all, closed the door happily, and sat down face to face with Emily.

Emily was obviously a little uncomfortable. She looked at the beautiful young man in front of her who looked at her kindly and seemed to be in a better mood, and asked hesitantly: "So, Master Ran, what do you want to say to me?"

"Just... just chat casually." Ran Wenyu scratched his cheeks, "Anything is fine, I just don't want to be alone anymore. I always feel that I am out of place here, very lonely..."

As he spoke, Ran Wenyu lowered his head, his long eyelashes drooping, and Emily felt even more compassionate when he saw it.She couldn't bear the young man in front of her to continue to be immersed in sadness, and hurriedly tried to think about what to talk about.

Emily came to Prost Manor when she was ten years old. She was just a small kitchen helper at that time. It can be said that she dedicated her whole life to Prost Manor. Even if she had a husband and children, it was only on weekends. When I went home to take a look at it, it was not as familiar as the manor.

Therefore, if you want to chat, the first thing Emily thinks of is the interesting things in the manor.

After that, things went smoothly.

Most women like to gossip, especially middle-aged women like Emily.There are very few people in the manor now, and Robert's housekeeper is strict. Emily can't find anyone to secretly gossip about.

Emily mentioned Baron Slanter when he was young. He was indeed a enthusiastic and cheerful young man full of courage and wisdom, but he was too adventurous, and he stayed away from home for many years. He would go out for a year or two. In a few weeks, it's time to prepare for the next adventure.Baron Silent's parents were very dissatisfied with their son running around, and even tried to introduce him to an excellent noble lady, hoping that he could settle down, but Baron Silent refused without hesitation. In his eyes, women and families are just Drag is the shackles that hinder his free heart.

The old baroness and his wife tried several times, but to no avail. In the end, they could only give up resentfully, and were too lazy to care about their wandering son.

At that time, the Prost Manor was still a lively place, with numerous servants and guests, and the Silent family was also a happy family. Although there were conflicts, big and small, they were equally affectionate.

until one day——

At this point, Emily stopped, and despite Ran Wenyu's urging, she hesitated and dared not continue.

Ran Wenyu knew that now he had reached a crucial clue point, so he naturally refused to give up like this: "KP! I want to vote for persuasion!"

If you can't be persuaded, then you can buy it with money, and if money is useless, then you can use charm—in short, Ran Wenyu must know this key clue, and he will not hesitate to use any means.

Probably the goddess of dice felt Ran Wenyu's persistence, and this time the persuasion unexpectedly passed smoothly.

Facing Ran Wenyu's eager eyes, Emily couldn't refuse, so she could only lower her voice: "Don't tell anyone about the next thing!"

"Okay, I swear to God!" Ran Wenyu, who didn't believe in God at all, raised his right hand, swearing.

KP: [At this time, you may need to apply for another credit. 】

Ran Wenyu, whose credit score is only 9: "……………………"

Turning a deaf ear to KP's teasing, Ran Wenyu stared at Emily with scorching eyes, trying to show his sincerity with his clear eyes - anyway, credit is impossible, even in this life!

Probably because Ran Wenyu's serious expression was too bluffing, Emily believed it immediately.She sighed: "On that day, I remember very clearly that Baron Slanter, who was scheduled to go on a two-year trip to Mexico—oh, he couldn't be called a baron at that time, he had to be called a young master—he was leaving After more than half a year, he suddenly came back without warning, which shocked everyone."

"Why are you surprised? Isn't it a good thing that the baron returns home early?" Ran Wenyu refused to let go of any details.

"Master Slante's travel plans have always been postponed, not advanced. Because something went wrong, there must be something wrong." Emily replied, "Besides, after the young master came back, he was listless and out of his mind, so Mr. The Baroness and his wife are worried."

Ran Wenyu nodded, motioning for Emily to continue.

"After Master Slant came back, he locked himself in the study, and he didn't even want to come out to eat. The old baroness and his wife tried to persuade and scolded him, but they couldn't do anything about it. Seeing that the young master was losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, The old baron was angry and worried at the same time, and then he broke into the young master's study, and the father and son had a big fight." Emily showed a bit of fear on her face, "At that time, I was still a twenty The young people in the next year were full of curiosity, and secretly listened to a few words outside the study, as if the old baron was dissatisfied with Master Slant holding a broken stone and muttering about it, and wanted to throw that stone away."

Hearing the key word "stone", Ran Wenyu's eyes lit up: "Stone, what kind of stone?"

"I'm not very clear." Emily said while thinking, "When the old baron took the stone and left the study angrily, I once accidentally caught a glimpse, it seemed to be the size of a fist, and it was violet. , and engraved with patterns."

Ran Wenyu nodded, somewhat suspecting that this stone was the only missing item in the collection room.

"The old baron took the stone and left the study, as if he really wanted to throw the stone away. Master Silant became even more angry, and chased after the old baron, trying to snatch the stone back..." Emily took a deep breath, covering her mouth She froze her face, as if she couldn't bear to continue recalling, "The two of them were very emotional, and they wrestled at the stairs, and then...then..." Her voice choked up, "Then, Master Silent missed, Pushed the old baron down the stairs. The old baron was already old and not in good health, so... just passed away without warning."

Ran Wenyu fell silent, not knowing what to say for a while.This incident was too cruel, not only for the Baron Silant who accidentally killed his father himself, but also for the entire Silant family.

"The situation at that time was so chaotic, everyone was terrified, and so was Master Slant. But it has already happened, and there is no way to make up for it." Emily put her hand down and wiped the corners of her eyes The tears shed seemed to be trying to calm down her sad emotions, "After the old baron's funeral, the old baroness couldn't forgive her son, so she moved to another manor by herself, and never came back until she died. The young master inherited the title of baron, but his whole person became gloomy and his temper became more and more irritable. He still locked himself in the study every day, and began to search for books everywhere, and his behavior became more and more weird..."

After finishing this matter, Emily was silent for a long time, and then forced a smile: "I'm sorry, I brought up such a bad past. I obviously wanted to make you feel better, but..."

"It's okay, Aunt Emily." Ran Wenyu interrupted her obediently, "I kept asking because of curiosity, and it has nothing to do with Auntie. I am really grateful that you can tell me these secrets." After finishing speaking, He also sighed, "It seems that it is not easy for everyone, and so is Baron Slante. Although he is rich in food and clothing, he must be more painful than me to carry such a heavy past. Although I am poor, but At least my heart is peaceful, I really shouldn't continue to complain about myself."

Emily smiled at him, couldn't help raising her hand, and lovingly rubbed Ran Wenyu's curly hair: "That's the reason! People will always have all kinds of troubles in life, and there is nothing that can't be overcome Kaner in the past! You are still young, the future is still long, there will always be a sunny day after the rain!"

After the encouragement, Emily stood up and said goodbye: "Okay, it's getting late, you should finish your supper quickly and go to sleep. Get enough energy, and continue to complete the task assigned by the master tomorrow. "

Ran Wenyu didn't want to keep him anymore, and also got up to see him off. When he reached the door, he seemed to inadvertently ask, "Is that stone still in Lord Baron's hands?"

"...Maybe? I haven't paid attention to it." Emily shook her head. "I've been working in the kitchen, so I rarely get in touch with the master." After finishing speaking, she frowned and asked disapprovingly. , "Are you curious about that stone? Listen to me, don't worry about it, it is an ominous stone that will bring disaster to people!"

"Okay, I see." Ran Wenyu replied obediently.

Watching Emily go downstairs lightly, Ran Wenyu also cautiously left the room, and ran to the opposite door of Augustus in two or three steps.Just after knocking, it was let in by August who had been waiting intently for a long time.
