The Duchess put her arms around Ella, crying out of breath, and kept saying nothing but my poor baby over and over again.

The countess also wiped her tears, and said with a sob: "Ella, good boy, although your parents are gone, don't be afraid, you still have relatives like us. My dear, you will not be helpless in this house." Yes, you have to remember that we will always stand behind you."

Ella stopped crying, and looked at the Countess in a daze: "Second Aunt..." She has a mother.

Although she lost her biological parents, her stepmother treated her well.Although there were some misunderstandings in the past few years, after her father was murdered, she finally saw the kindness of her stepmother, and she really regarded Yisha as her mother.

The Lord also stated: "Ella, don't worry, with us here, we will never let anyone bully you!"

Isa frowned.What do they mean?Is it to support Ella, afraid that her stepmother will bully the child?

What did you do in those early years?Isa married into the Earl's Mansion for four years, and the first time she saw them was at Earl Termany's funeral not long ago.

For four full years, she never heard Earl Termani mention her former in-law's family, and even Ella never visited her grandfather's house.

It was as if the family of Marianne, the former Mrs. Termany, had simply disappeared.Why did he appear in a protective posture at this time?

But looking at how the duchess loves Ira, it doesn't feel fake.

What is the unknown secret behind this?

Yisha decided to wait and see what happened.

After a long time, their family's mutual complaints finally came to an end.Yisha asked Tina and Nina to take the crying Ella down to freshen up, and not to come back for the time being, so that they could talk about business.

The Duchess wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said embarrassingly: "I made Mrs. Termany laugh. In fact, when I saw Ella, I seemed to see my poor eldest daughter Marianne. I couldn't control it for a while." Hold your emotions."

Yisha expressed her understanding, and said: "Duchess, you are an elder, you can call me Yisha by my name."

The Duchess nodded and said: "Okay, Isa. Ella is a poor child. She became a child without a mother at the age of six, and she has no father at the age of 11. But fortunately, you are here, Isa, these years I have heard about what you have done, and I know that you have taken good care of the entire Earl's Mansion."

"I'm very relieved to leave Ella to you."

Yisha was a little strange: "The Duchess pays special attention to my affairs? Then why hasn't your house had any contact with us in the past few years?"

The Duchess smiled awkwardly, and was about to say something when the Lord stopped her and said in a low voice, "Mother, there's no need to tell her that. Let's get down to business."

The baroness also lowered her voice and urged: "There is a saying in Dongfang Huaguo, you know people, you don't know your heart, isn't that guy really good at pretending? You and your father were deceived by him, so you agreed to the elder sister... I think This woman is the same as that guy."

Isa raised her eyebrows slightly.Her hearing was excellent, and the lord and dame's voice was as loud as a gnat, but not a word escaped her ears.Now she is more and more curious.

The Duchess looked at Isa, with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Isha, this is the second time we met, the last time was at William's funeral. Although I didn't say a few words to you that day, your performance impressed me a lot. It's all in my eyes. I have to say, even if I look at you with the most critical eyes, you have done a good job, and you have given William the dignity behind him."

"You speak well, behave well, and have an elegant temperament. Your two daughters, Anatasha and Dusula, are also very similar to you, and they have grown into ladies with both talents and looks. I believe you will also teach Ella Very well."

Isa nodded: "The Duchess praised it."

The Countess gently tugged at the Duchess's sleeve.The Duchess hesitated and said: "But, after all, Ella was not born to you, we are still a little worried. In order to protect Ella's interests, there are some ugly things...we want to say it first."

Isa smiled and didn't care: "The Duchess just talks."

The Duchess sighed for a long time: "This... is really hard to say."

The countess on the side stomped her feet in a hurry regardless of her image.At this time, the Duke who had been sitting upright on the top spoke, "Let me tell."

"When Marian got married, we gave her a dowry of [-] gold coins. Later, when Marian died of illness, Ella should inherit all her dowry. It stands to reason that this money should be used as a dowry for Ella when she gets married in a few years. of.

But her biological father and mother are dead, Yisha, you are still young, and you will get married again in the future.In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we hope you will hand over the thirty thousand gold coins to her now. "

The Lord chimed in and said, "That's right. Ella is 11 years old this year, which is not too young. In another five or six years, she will be ready to talk about marriage. At this time, let her take care of her dowry earlier, and it's still a good time for her to take care of her." Just to exercise her housekeeping skills."

The Countess agreed: "It's good for your reputation, and it saves you the trouble of managing the money. The property is settled early in the morning, and you remarry in two years, so you won't have to worry about unclear accounts."

The Duchess lowered her eyes, embarrassed to look directly at Isa: "I am very willing to believe you. It's just what happened back then... It really made them a little scared. I hope you can understand our painstaking efforts to love Ira."

It turned out that it was such a trivial matter that made the Duchess so difficult!

The duchess believed her, but the duke, duchess and lord were still wary of her, fearing that Ella would lose her biological mother and biological father, and live under her stepmother and two stepsisters, and her life would be difficult.

They wanted to protect Ella's interests, and taking advantage of Earl Termani's funeral just after, Isa probably hadn't had time to control all the family's money, so they quickly decided on the part that belonged to Ella.

Otherwise, after a long period of time, the accounts will become confused, and if Yisha gets married again, then everything will be confused.They were afraid, because they were afraid that Ella would end up with nothing and end up like a poor girl.

To the surprise of the Duchess and the others, there were no evasions or obstacles as they expected, and Yisha agreed immediately: "Actually, I have no intention of remarrying, and there are some things that you worry too much about. But what you asked for, Of course there is no problem. You sit down first, and I will ask someone to count [-] gold coins."

After all, he went to the warehouse.

Isa walked all the way, thinking back to the Duke's words.It turned out that the dowry they gave Marianne was thirty thousand gold coins.

But as far as Isa knew, the money Marianne left to Ella was only [-] gold coins, not the original [-].Presumably, the [-] gold coins were subsidized into the living expenses of the Earl's Mansion.

Alas, Isa shook her head.Earl Termany has been supported by his wife since the first wife. He is really incompetent.

When Isa reappeared in front of the Duchess and the others, she was followed by two attendants holding money boxes, and she ordered the attendants to count the gold coins in front of them.No more, no less, exactly [-] gold coins.

Yisha said again: "The duke is Ella's natal family, so it is trustworthy to entrust Ella's dowry to you for safekeeping. Of course, as the Lord said, it is also good to let Ella manage it by herself and exercise her financial management skills .”

As soon as she finished speaking, the Lord immediately said: "Ella is still young, it's better to wait until she gets married before handing it over to her."

It seems that Ella is no longer young, and it's time to give her dowry to her early to learn to take care of it, as if it wasn't him.

Isa pretended not to notice the Lord's inconsistency, took a quill pen and dipped it in ink, and wrote the note, recording the matter of handing over Ella's [-] gold coin dowry to the Duke's family today.Then several people signed their names at the bottom one after another.

A big event in the eyes of the Duke and others, and a small matter in the eyes of Yisha, just settled!

When Ella reappeared in the hall, she was surprised to find that the slight awkward atmosphere before had all dissipated, replaced by a happy room.

In the afternoon, when the Duchess said goodbye, she hesitated and asked Isa if she could take Ella back to her home for a few days.

Of course Isa agreed, and then she saw the Duchess's light gray eyes bursting out with a flash of light, and the expressions of the Duke, Lord and Countess couldn't hide their surprise.

Obviously the Duke and the others love their granddaughter Ella very much, and they also really want to take her back to live here occasionally.But why in the past so many years, it seems that it has never happened?

There are so many mysteries behind this.

Yisha decided to find a private investigator to investigate.

After waving goodbye to the Duke's carriage, Yisha went back to the small study to rest.Suddenly, after coming to this world, except for the first few words, the system that had been pretending to be dead for the rest of the time made a sound in Yisha's head, scaring the red wine glass in her hand almost to the carpet.

"Host, why did you pay for Ella's dowry out of your own pocket? You know that Marianne handed over all her money to Ella when she was dying, and later Ella handed over the money to Earl Termani for business, almost It was completely lost. From the beginning to the end, this money has never passed through your hands." The system said.
