queen of the empire

Ivy's father, Baron Bart, worked in the customs branch of the county where Barrons belongs. He was a customs supervisor. He worked here when he was a knight. He was a customs supervisor at that time. The title was promoted and became a supervisor.

In fact, he did not do well, because his talent is too mediocre, and most of his colleagues are just knights. He was born as a commoner because he has an official government. He is not a nobleman. Longer than Baron Bart, he is a Viscount.

Three days ago, Baron Bart was arrested for accepting huge amounts of bribes. According to the investigation, he illegally obtained more than 50 billion Soka in ten years and squandered it. The people involved in the bribery case have pleaded guilty. , The relevant departments have reported to the House of Lords, but the specific ruling has not yet come down.

Ivy almost fainted when he heard the news, 50 billion Soka in ten years, how is this possible!If their family can have so much money, do they still need to worry about buying a new aircraft?

Although Ivy doesn't know much about his father's work, Baron Bart is a very laid-back person, and he is not very good at his own work. The director turns a blind eye to him and is a relatively incompetent person , Even if someone wants to bribe him, he won't be given that much money. He can't help much, let alone ten years.

Most of the income of Ivy's family comes from the taxation of the fief and the rent of several properties, all of which are taken care of by Ivy's mother, Mrs. Pasha. Baron Bart is basically at home outside of work, and social activities will bring Mrs. Pasha, so it is impossible to have any time to squander so much money. He doesn't have any special hobbies.

How to spend 50 billion Soka so that people will not notice it is impossible!

So Baron Bart was most likely framed by someone!

Ai Wei didn't understand why someone would frame a baron. This amount was too big, 50 billion. It was very difficult to forge such a large amount of evidence. Even the confession of the briber could be obtained, and the people behind it must have great power.

This guess made Ivy even more helpless. The evidence is conclusive and the person behind it is extremely powerful, so the possibility of his father overturning the case is very small. The other party's large amount is to make Baron Bart beyond redemption!

It was his sister Ellie who told Ivy the news. The family members were busy with bailing Baron Bart for the past three days, thinking that maybe it would be fine if he walked away, so he kept hiding it and didn't say it everywhere. Mrs. Pasha still Said, I will tell Ivy when the matter is resolved, but I didn't expect that the matter will not turn around. A lot of money is spent but there is no response at all. It is understandable to be afraid of being implicated and resign. The most chilling thing is the estrangement of relatives and friends. No one is willing to lend a helping hand, and even begged the Marquis of Will and returned without success.

"Sister, sister, don't cry, you speak slowly." Ai Wei was actually very, very anxious, but Ai Li kept crying, and he couldn't be weak, which would make Ai Li even more uneasy, "Where's brother?"

"He went to ask for a relationship, and hoped to see his father. We haven't seen him since the accident, and we don't know how he is now." Ellie choked up, her voice trembling, "The atmosphere at home has been very bad recently. Except for Walker, almost all other servants have resigned, and the slaves in the house are very disturbed. My mother can't eat at all now, and she vomits after eating. I'm so scared now, and I don't know what to do." Ellie has no time to go to her fiancé's affairs. Nevermind, now is not the time to think about marriage.

"It's okay, it's okay, sister, don't cry, I'll be right back!" Ivy was about to hang up the phone and suddenly thought of where he was, he was in Moonlight Castle, and he was still in Holaini's room, so he deeply He took a breath and said to Ellie, "Sister, please reassure mom, I will definitely find a way. I am friends with His Royal Highness, and my father is wronged. I will ask him for help! Your Highness is a good person, he will definitely Help us!"

In fact, Ivy didn't know how to speak to Hollini at all. His mind was in a mess, but the most important thing now was to appease Ellie. His mother was in a very bad condition and needed good news to comfort her.

"Really?" Ai Li actually couldn't believe it. The lower class nobles like them committed such a big crime. Would His Royal Highness really help out with this so-called friendship?The three days of running around made her see clearly what it means to be warm and cold, and the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so she no longer dared to have any extravagant hopes.

"Really! He will definitely help. Dad was wronged, right? He didn't ask His Royal Highness to cover up. He will definitely agree. Go and tell mom that I'll be right back. Dad will be fine. "Ai Wei made repeated promises to reassure Ellie a little. After hanging up the phone, Ai Wei was paralyzed. He sat on the sofa, his hand holding the phone was shaking.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Holleini came in. Today is Sunday, and he went to meet officials from his fiefdom in the morning, and the affairs are relatively busy at the end of the year.

"Ai Wei?" Holenny saw Ai Wei sitting on the sofa with a pale face, looking very strange, "What's wrong with you?" He approached and sat next to Ai Wei, and stretched out his hand to touch Ai Wei dimensional head.

It is easy to cry when people are suddenly treated gently when they are helpless, and Ivy's tears came pattering down. He turned his head and looked at Holaini: "Your Highness..."

Ivy, who was full of tears, broke Holeini's heart. Why did he cry? Why did the person he held in his hands cry? Who made him so sad! "What's wrong?! What happened, don't cry, tell me what's wrong, I'm here." Holaini reached out his hand to wipe Ivy's tears.

"Your Highness, help me, I don't know what to do..." Ai Wei looked helpless, no matter how hard he tried to comfort his sister just now, he was just a child. I have hardly experienced anything since I was in college, and I don’t understand anything, "I don’t know who to turn to except you. The family has tried everything, but there is still no progress. I..."

Ivy intermittently told Hollini about Baron Bart, "Your Highness, my father must have been wronged. He couldn't have accepted so many bribes! He must have been framed!"

Holini clenched his fists and took a deep breath. He knew who did it. The exact same thing happened before. He thought that this kind of thing would never happen again if history changed, but he never thought it would happen again...

Holini caressed Ivy's cheek. It was his own carelessness that made the matter develop to this point. He agreed to protect this person and not let him suffer any harm, but such a thing still happened.

Hollini blamed himself very much. In the final analysis, the misfortune of the Ivy family was brought about by him. It was because of him that Ai Xi did what he did before, and it was because of him that Ai Xi did what he did this time.

"It will be fine, I will return your father's innocence, I promise." Holleini pulled Ivy into his arms, "I promise."
