Victory Utopia

Elizabeth was lying on the bed with her eyes closed tightly, her nose was filled with a strong smell of ointment, her throat was so dry and sore that she could not speak.

"Charles used to be like that too."

Enduring the pain, she said to Baker next to him, "He is always strong, and he is sick like that, and he has to get up and work."

Baker said: "The Earl has dedicated his life to the Bicester family, Madam, you will be fine."

Elizabeth smiled weakly. This sentence was like what she said to her husband who was on the sick bed before. She never imagined that she would also lie on this bed one day.

Baker hung up the curtains, and there were crisp birdsong outside. Listening, Elizabeth burst into tears again.

"Maggie...was still by my side at this time yesterday, begging me to let her go out to the town to buy her favorite jewelry. Baker, did you hear me, my little bird should be so lively."

She was completely overwhelmed, and Margaret's death was the most unacceptable fact for her.

Elizabeth's face was as pale as paper, and her depressed mood was very bad for the patient's recuperation. Baker could only divert her attention with other things:

"I have some news for you, madam."

"Go ahead."

Elizabeth adjusted, and she answered calmly.The members of the Bicester family are strong, and she still has an entire estate and dozens of acres of fields to manage.

As for who will inherit the estate after she dies... Let's talk about it later.

"Many servants have returned to their workstations today, and the tenants have settled down a lot. Presumably, the manor will resume operation in a few days."

Seeing Elizabeth nodding in relief, Baker said: "Concerning whether the land in Kandis belongs to Bister or Stirling, Mrs. Stirling's answer is still very firm. She insists that the land belongs to Stirling. Tring, she can't accept the local tenant tax relief."

"Hmph, belongs to?" Elizabeth's tone became cold, "How many years has the Bicester family ruled that land, and she doesn't inquire about it, a family that climbed up by selling their daughters to attach themselves to the duke dares to come to Bicester to show off in front of special people."

She touched the gemstone ring on her finger: "Any poor family can be bullied here, does she know what she is talking about? No one can take a handful of Bicester's land."

"Yes ma'am, the Bicester family is something they will never be able to match."

Baker was holding a stack of letter paper in his hand. These letters all came from the same address, with patterns printed on wax wax, which were the crest of the Elizabeth family.

He hesitated: "What's more, there are four envelopes from your mother's house. I think you should take a look, Madam."

Elizabeth frowned; "Put it there, I'll watch it later in the afternoon."

After falling into silence, Baker whispered: "...You have already arranged your schedule in the afternoon, but you forgot to go to St. Pad's Church."

Elizabeth turned over to face the wall.

After a long time, Baker got her reply:

"Go and ask Lisa to come in, it's time to change clothes and meet those people."

--------

"Let me tell you, the feng shui of this restaurant is not good." Qu Shan shook her long legs, holding a handful of nuts in her hand, and said while eating, "Otherwise, everything would happen here."

The servants cleaned up the debris left by the chandelier, and the living stood aside, looking at the painting that appeared on the zenith.

Ge Yin grabbed Qin Yu's hand and looked back and forth: "Are you okay?"

"Nervous?"

Qin Yu smiled, and he rolled up his sleeves to reveal his arm that had been pierced into pieces: "It's really all right, look, the skin is not broken. You can touch it if you don't believe it."

In such a thrilling scene just now, he didn't think about anything, he just subconsciously stood in front of Ge Yin and reacted instantly.In fact, the two people's positions are not the most dangerous, but Qin Yu's heart is still tight, as if there was such a critical moment before, he could only think of protecting the people around him.

"I'm also surprised that the fragment was obviously pierced in, but it healed quickly." He said: "If this is the effect of the appearance of that painting, why can't the wound on my shoulder heal? "

Ge Yin looked at the painting again.

The painting in the center of the zenith has been integrated into the wall, the picture frame has disappeared, and the entire zenith has become a drawing paper.The flames were bright and dazzling, a cross stood in the sea of ​​flames, and a girl in a skirt was burned.

The girl's face looked like a large ball of black paint that was randomly thrown away, leaving three spaces in the middle, as if it had been painted out randomly, but these few strokes raised the horror and weirdness of the whole painting to the maximum.

The part that should be the most delicate and attentive is expressed in this way, directly hitting the soul.

The Qi family twins huddled together in fear, Qi Minmin said: "I think I might have nightmares at night."

"They don't seem to be able to see this painting," the doctor observed the expressions of the servants passing by. "They didn't mention anything about this painting. I asked about it, and they all said they couldn't see any painting."

"Grandpa, you didn't say what the painting is, did you?" The boy shivered and rubbed his arms:

"If this group of believers finds out the content of the painting, I don't know what will come out. I have seen the ability of these people to talk nonsense and label people. When the time comes to say that we are the ones who harmed the manor, it will be over... "

Just when they were puzzled about the development of the whole matter, a servant came in to spread the word that people from the church had arrived outside the gate of the manor. At the same time, Qin Yu saw Elizabeth.

She looked even more haggard, a mournful look that no amount of bright makeup could conceal.

The servants put down the things in their hands one after another, stood on both sides, and made way for the mistress.

Baker and Lisa stood beside Elizabeth, who changed into a black funeral dress and walked slowly down the stairs.

Lisa is holding a white lily in her hand, which is the flower that will accompany Margaret to the ground.

She stopped in front of the living and said to everyone: "I'm sorry, this happened while the guests were staying in the manor... I wonder if ladies and gentlemen would like to say goodbye to my poor daughter. You are people with a kind heart, and Margaret will also be grateful to you."

No one can refuse such a request, not to mention that Qin Yu and the others all appeared here with a purpose, even though the purpose was ruthless and indifferent.

Qu Shan said: "It's a pity that your daughter passed away. We couldn't help you at all. You don't have to be so polite. If you can do something to soothe the soul for Miss at her funeral, it will be considered a little bit of guilt. "

Elizabeth squatted on her knees and looked at everyone's faces gratefully: "It seems that something bad happened this morning. I'm sorry to surprise everyone. Then Baker will lead the way for you, and the carriage is waiting outside. "

"Madam first please."

St. Pad's Church is eight miles east of the estate, close to the town, and the environment is very quiet.

The carriage bells kept ringing, and the carriage wobbled forward. Elizabeth had prepared two carriages for them. In this carriage, besides Qin Yu and Ge Yin, there were also twin girls.

Qi Yaoyao sat quietly and obediently, Qi Minmin looked at the inside of the carriage curiously, everything was a novel discovery.

Ge Yin lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the scenery outside, and sighed: "A very good resting place."

"That's right." Qin Yu moved closer to him, and the fields outside the window were slowly receding. He was fascinated by the sight and said, "Nowadays, a piece of land in the cemetery is so expensive, and it's considered a profit to die here."

"You can do it if you really want to, I'll give you a ride."

Ge Yin turned his head as he spoke, but Qin Yu didn't expect him to turn his head back suddenly, and the tip of their noses was barely missed.

The distance between the two became very close, Qin Yu quickly sat up straight, and for just such a short moment, he felt a layer of sweat on his neck.

He now feels that in England in the 18th century, the summer was not so cool, at least it was still a little hot in the carriage.

Qin Yu coughed, his tongue seemed to be tied up, and he couldn't speak a word.

And looking at Ge Yin's expression, maybe he is used to hiding his emotions and can't see anything.The man stretched out his hand to hang up the curtain, allowing the refreshing wind to pour in from the window, taking away the elusive heat.

Before Qin Yu's heart fell, he saw Qi Yaoyao's eyes, although the moment she met him, she lowered her head to cover up her unbearable smile.

But can it fool the eyes of Teacher Qin, who has arrested countless invigilators?

The eyes are dodging and erratic, the fingers are curled up unnaturally, and the stiff expression that pretends to be calm but is too much finally backfires...

Qi Yaoyao's face turned red, and she even pinched her own thigh secretly.

Qin Yu felt that she must be thinking about something serious.

Qi Minmin was still chirping with her sister about everything she hadn't seen before, completely oblivious to the situation on the other side.

Qin Yu felt that it was necessary to find something to say, so he asked the two sisters, "How long have you been in this world?"

"Ah? Mr. Qin is asking us?" Qi Minmin held up the cloisonne teacup and said in surprise, "It hasn't been long, this should be the third world."

Qin Yu: "Very good, this is my second one."

"Are you all? I mean, like Yaoyao and I, they came in together."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Qi Minmin put down the teacup, and just when Qin Yu thought she was going to have a serious chat, she stared at a small box on the small table.

However, I still did not forget to continue the chat: "You look very familiar, you should know each other. I heard from sister Qu Shan that she has never seen any pair of living people who are not related by blood and have no relationship similar to lovers together. Appeared. Either newcomers came in together, but in the end they were basically scattered.”

She carefully looked at Qin Yu and Ge Yin, who was looking at the scenery, and said seriously: "I think you should also be blood brothers, right? Although you don't look alike."

Qin Yu suspected that his ears were broken, Qi Yaoyao, who was also silent all the time, expressed shock.

"So you think so?" Qin Yu deeply suspected that this stigmata would bring him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But at the same time, he also forgot that his answer was like asking "Don't we look like lovers", directly confirming the relationship.

When Qin Yu realized that this answer caused ambiguity, Qi Yaoyao looked at them even more strangely.

He didn't know how to spend the rest of the time, the principal's three hours of conversation did not have a moment like this that made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Fortunately, the funeral procession soon arrived at St. Pad's Church.

The singing of the choir spread far, and they got out of the car and walked at the end. The priest and bishop who came to greet them stood at the door of the church, ready to welcome such a special deceased.

Lisa supported Elizabeth and looked at the white building, and with Elizabeth's consent, she walked up to the bishop and knelt down.

The Bishop dipped in the holy water and flicked a few drops on Lisa's head.

"Sister Beyenne, you finally came back here."

Lisa raised her face reverently and said, "Yes, I'm back here."

She opened her eyes and looked at the nuns behind:

"But not to serve."
