Chetlow Manor

The seventh day of coming to the Duke's Mansion.

Moen began to feel a little anxious. Why hasn't there been a reply from Lanson's family yet?

"Alex, please ask the postman of the castle for me if there is a letter from Lanson Mansion."

Ever since Eriks was brought back to the castle by Moen that day, he expressed his thanks to Moen with snot and tears and expressed his loyalty.After that, Hughden fulfilled his promise and asked Erics to work with the second-class servant in the castle and learn some skills.

Alex has a good personality, gentle and patient, so he quickly became one with the servants in the castle.

He came to Moen's room, with some drops of water on his red hair, a teenager dressed in a black servant uniform, which seemed a little out of place.

"Lord Lanson, I asked the postman of the castle, and he said that no letters have been sent recently." Alex took a breath, and then told Moen, "However, I heard that a man in the town is looking around for a letter recently. A 19-year-old youth with black hair and blue eyes, is he your friend?"

Mo En was a little strange, if it was a servant sent by Lanson's family, he should know where he was, why did he need to ask?

"Do you know the man's name?"

"Yes, my former church partner told me that the man said his name was Julian."

"Julian?!"

"My lord...do you know him?"

Moen was very surprised, not only because he knew him, Julian was his playmate when he was young.

Morn spent most of his childhood in the Lansons alone. Mr. Viscount seemed to have endless affairs, and Mrs. Bethel seemed to have endless balls to attend. Almost all of the pitiful time spent was spent on Moen's younger brother. Besides, they also needed to train Moen's sister, the future heir of the Lanson family.

Julian is Moen's most precious memory in this not-so-good childhood.

He was the son of a big merchant family nearby. Although he did not belong to the gentry class, he studied medicine with the money in the family and became a surgeon.

Moen thought of the many times he spent with his old friend, and asked urgently, "Then where is he now?"

"I don't know that, my lord. I think he'll find it here."

"Then I trouble you to pay more attention at the gate of the castle these two days. If you see Julian, please invite him in."

That night, the rain that had been raining for several days finally stopped, and the servants in Chetlow Castle became more busy. Oh, yes, those delicate flowers in the garden were treated differently in such a continuous rain. The damage to a certain extent, and the rooms of the livestock have also become a little damp. If you don't want them to get sick, you need to replace them with dry hay in the warehouse as soon as possible.

But all of this has nothing to do with Moen, except that he has become a little bored—Anna is busy, so naturally she cannot chat with him, and Alex was sent by himself to guard the door. Deacon Jeff and Huden The Duke went out together, while Mrs. Maria was busy with various matters inside and outside the castle.

Moen was wrapped in a woolen blanket and nestled on a soft bed. His black shattered hair was untied from the ribbon and was scattered behind his head. He held a book from Hughden's study in his hand and read it. Read by the light of a candle.

In the corridor, Anna hurried past with a glass of sweet milk. She still has many other things to do today. You must know that she is not the personal maid arranged by Hughden for Moen, so her status is still just an ordinary second Waiting for the maid is just a matter of "taking care of the guests" in the recent affairs.

"Hey! Can you be careful!" A black figure suddenly passed in front of her, and she hurriedly stabilized the milk in her hand and scolded.

It was Erics. He also seemed in a hurry. After seeing who was coming, he quickly apologized: "Oh, I'm sorry."

Anna glanced at him, then quickly walked into Moen's room, while he stayed outside and shrugged his shoulders.

When Anna brought the milk in her hand and came out again, Alex was still standing at the door.

The girl closed the door with her hands behind her back, a little unhappy: "Why are you still standing here?"

"I still have something to ask Mr. Lanson."

Alex didn't intend to fuss too much with this girl who was about his own age, and flashed into Moen's room.

"Arix, is there any news?" Moen asked as he put down the milk he was about to drink.

Erics lowered his voice and said, "Yes, my lord, Mr. Julian has arrived at the castle just now. I greeted him in advance before he talked to the castle guards. Ask him to wait outside."

Moen thought for a while, and finally made a decision: "Can you secretly bring him in? As a farmer who buys goods or whatever, don't let the servants of the Duke's Mansion know." Moen didn't trust Chetlow very much. The servants in the castle were all serving Huden, and Huden was so elusive, he always kept this in mind.

Nine bells sounded in the distance, the sky completely darkened, the busyness in Chetlow Castle gradually slowed down, and Alex sneaked into Moen's room with a new servant.

"Hey, my friend, I really didn't expect to see you here!" Moen gave him a hug, "How could they let you come? The journey is so hard, you shouldn't bother a doctor like this , Besides, they didn’t even send a reply letter, it’s too much for me to wait for so many days!”

Julian is a tall and thin gentleman, his clothes are a little wrinkled during the long-term running, and the doctor, who always loves cleanliness, has not shaved off the gray stubble on his chin, which makes him look a bit embarrassed.

"My God, I finally found you, Moen, why did you come here?" Julian looked at him worriedly, with a puzzled face, "You really shouldn't have run out alone, I know, you I have never had a good impression of the Lanson Mansion, but Lord Viscount is your father after all, and if you run out now, no one will be responsible for your safety."

Suddenly, Julian seemed to recall something and asked, "A letter, what letter?"

"Didn't you see the letter I wrote to the Lanson Mansion? I ask them to send someone to send two hundred silver coins to compensate the Duke of Hudden for the frightened sheep that ran away."

"Oh, hell, I didn't hear any letters from the Lanson Mansion when I came here."

Julian: "Three days ago, I went to your house to look for you, but they said that you were not at the house, and they didn't know where you went. But the viscount is busy applying for a school for your stupid brother recently, He said you are no longer a child, you will go back by yourself."

"Don't say that about Boris, he's my brother anyway." Moen received it absent-mindedly. He was very puzzled now. The letter had been sent seven days ago. It stands to reason that the postman's speed is always relatively fast. Three days was enough to send the letter back. With his father's character, if he knew that he "accidentally" lived in a duke's mansion, he would definitely express it instead of sending him away coldly.

There is also a possibility that Hughden didn't send the letter at all!

After all, I accidentally discovered Hughden's secret. What if Huden didn't intend to let him go back at all?Or, Hughden already has a plan.

Moen was startled, he drew the curtains in a panic, and suddenly noticed the milk in front of the window, the milky white liquid exuded a sweet fragrance in the air.

Damn, is there something in this milk?

Julian also noticed his abnormality. The doctor picked up the milk and sniffed it in front of his nose, and some of it stuck on his tongue, "Wood chrysanthemum, this milk has put wood chrysanthemum in it."

"What it is?"

"Hypnotic, Moen, are you hiding something?"

Oh God, Moen let out a sigh in his heart, so it all became clear.The elusive Duke didn't want to let him go at all, and even asked Anna to add ingredients to his milk to prevent him from walking around at night.Moen thought of Anna's kind and harmless face, and felt a cheated anger rising in his heart.

This castle is full of lies!It's all lies!From Anna's "simple" girl to Hughden's superficially handsome gentleman style, it was all a trap.

But why would Hughden do this?Just because I accidentally overheard a few words from the man in the basement?What kind of shocking secret is that?Or is there another secret?

Moen suddenly remembered Father Fried's reminder: I advise you to leave Chetlow Manor as soon as possible.

He suddenly started to pick up the coat and put it on his body, and dragged Julian to the door.

"Hey Moen, calm down, where are you going?"

"No, it's too late, we have to go to the basement now."
