miss mist go with the flow

Sirin was doing laundry, and Amy moved a small mat and squatted beside her to rest.

Sirin talked about what she found last night, "Mrs. Liwen ordered the maid named Noel to give the housekeeper Buddy and Lord Holder slow poison, intending to poison them to death..."

After listening to it, Amy thought about it, and then talked about what she discovered last night.

"I seemed to have visual and auditory hallucinations yesterday. I saw bright lights flashing in the sky among the undead, and I heard sounds similar to snare drums, but they disappeared quickly. I don't know what happened."

The two chatted for a while, but there was no result. Amy got up and walked around the boundary between the undead, and found nothing unusual, so she didn't take it seriously.

The moon elves are very old and have dementia, so it is not surprising that they have visual and auditory hallucinations.

Even if something went wrong, the control of the Book of the Dead is still in Amy's hands, so she doesn't need to panic.

After tidying up, drying the clothes, and leaving the room of the undead, the sky outside had already turned a dim yellow.

Rosa was still waiting outside the door. When she saw them coming out, she hurried forward to greet them.

"My lords, the manor has prepared another dinner. It seems that Lord Holder will also attend this time. Do you two want to go and have a look?"

"Huh?" Amy was puzzled, "The lord is willing to take care of things?"

"The news was notified by Butler Buddy himself. Lord Holder also knows the importance of the spice contract. He probably organized this dinner with his own strength," Rosa said.

Amy thought for a while, "Go ahead and see what he wants to do."

Amy and Sirin can go, but Chris can't. The banquet hall is full of her acquaintances. It's inconvenient to reveal her identity at this time, so she can only stay in the guest room and wait for news.

To avoid any accidents, Amy took out a few magic scrolls and stuffed them into Chrissy's hands.

A group of people left the courtyard for guests and came to the banquet hall under the leadership of a maid.

As the owner of the manor, Holder has already taken his seat. His complexion doesn't look very good, and there is still that lingering sadness on his face.

After Rosa arrived, he stood up to greet her, said a polite welcome speech, and led everyone to their seats.

Mrs. Liwen sat beside Holder, with a smile on her face, and she didn't speak much.

There is nothing worth mentioning about the food and drinks at the dinner party. Amy is not used to eating anyway, that is to the extent that she fills her stomach, so she decided to go back later for another meal.

The rest of the people were full of wine and food, Lord Holder stood up, and finally began to talk about business.

"Ms. Rosa, may I ask, as the regional director of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, do you have a noble title?"

Rosa said: "Yes, I have received the title of Viscount, and I have a territory reward."

What she said is not bragging, but the truth. Many of the top executives of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce have titles, either because of meritorious service or because of business transactions. Title, so is Rosa.

Amido glanced at Rosa. This eldest sister is hiding something very deep. If Holder didn't ask, she wouldn't even know about it.

Holder breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice, "In that case, I would like to ask you to be my testator."

Amy has also learned about the witness system before. In Golden Rose City, when Helen became the successor lord, Selina was the witness.

Holder mentioned the will, he knew he was going to die?

Rosa frowned slightly, and said, "If a lord-level noble makes a will, the imperial capital must send a witness. I'm afraid it's not suitable."

"You have a way to complete the formalities." Holder said, "My physical condition is getting worse day by day, and it will take time to report to the imperial capital. It may not be possible to wait for the witness to arrive."

Rosa said: "Because of this, you dragged your sick body to hold this banquet?"

"Yes." Holder said, "I also ask Ms. Rosa to do it."

Lord Holder's attitude was firm, but Mrs. Liwen beside him quietly clenched her palms, her face tensed.

The lord suddenly wanted to make a will and asked Rosa to be the witness, which was beyond her plan.

If Holder is slowly poisoned to death according to the procedure she has set before, the manor and territory will naturally fall into the hands of her "widow". The family has its own way to make this process reasonable and legal.

If there is a suicide note preserved by the witness, the legal force will be greater than the secular rules, and the manor and territory must be handed over to the person designated by Holder.

Liwen's eyes moved to Flanda secretly. Fortunately, she was prepared, and the "daughter" was also hers.

Rosa pondered, tapped her fingers on the table, and gave Amy a look without showing any signs, asking for advice.

Amy responded: "Promise him and see what he says."

Rosa just nodded, she took out her noble status badge, put it on the table, and said in a deep voice: "On May 522, 5 in the new imperial calendar, I, Rosa Ramu, Viscount of the Empire, will become the Red Bell As the witness of the will of Lord Lanling Holder, I will use my life's honor to guarantee..."

After taking the oath, Holder took out a written document and handed it to Rosa.

Rosa glanced roughly, raised her brows slightly, her expression was a little surprised, but she nodded and put it into storage equipment.

"The content of my will is very simple." Holder's tone revealed exhaustion, "After I pass away, the Holder Manor and the Red Lily of the Valley will all be managed by my wife, Ms. Liwen. She enjoys the rights of the lord, and Inherit all my property."

As soon as these words came out, Liwen looked shocked, and Buddy, who was sitting with him at the banquet, couldn't keep his mouth shut, and Amy was also surprised.

Didn't Holder realize how hot the person next to his pillow is?And he didn't leave anything to his daughter?

"Liwen, I have been unwell all these years. I have treated you badly, and I feel guilty..." Holder ignored everyone's surprise and continued, "These are all compensations for you, and you deserve it."

"Holder, you..." Li Wen put away the shock on her face, her tone was complicated.

She didn't expect Holder to be so generous and leave everything to her.

Holder reached out and stopped Li Wen's words, and he continued: "However, there are still a few small requirements in this will."

Liwen clenched her loose hand again, staring at Holder.

She knew it was not that simple!

The lord turned a blind eye and continued: "First, the steward of the manor must be Buddy. If he dies within ten years, [-]% of the assets of the manor will be distributed to Buddy's relatives for the aftermath. Butler Buddy has been with me for many years. His family is loyal and deserves this kind of treatment."

The old butler Buddy couldn't help but burst into tears. He knew that the lord was using this method to protect him for ten years. After ten years, he should leave in a sensible way.

Liwen's complexion sank, her eyes drifted past the maid Noel, and she didn't speak.

"Secondly, the manor and the territory must support my daughter Chrissy to complete all her studies. After Chrissy graduates from the Magic Academy, she still needs to maintain the normal annual expenses for support, and the standard should not be lower than the employment fee of a gold-level magician. .Relevant fees must be completed through the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce and subject to the supervision of the Chamber of Commerce.”

When Holder said this, his eyes locked on Flanda, and his eyes were a bit sharp, "Please remember to ask, protect my biological daughter Chrissy, if something happens to her, Red Lily of the Valley will take care of her." The right to govern will be entrusted to His Majesty the Emperor."

This is another ruthless move, forcing Liwen to reconcile with Chris, protecting Chris from completing her studies, and leaving Chris a long-term salary.

The chamber of commerce supervised the related expenses, so naturally they had to take a cut of the fees. Liwen couldn't afford to offend the Phoenix chamber of commerce, so she didn't dare to play tricks on it.

As for the trusteeship of the territory, there is a precedent for the Ziyanghua collar where Shuangquan City is located. The lord of the place thought it was troublesome and moved to the imperial capital to enjoy the blessings. Without the right to manage the territory, there is no way to form a private army, and it is almost impossible for the descendants to take back the territory, so they can only continue to be idle rich men.

Liwen absolutely didn't want to see this kind of situation happen, her beautiful face was covered with a layer of frost.

Moreover, Holder's demeanor when he spoke clearly saw through Frenda's disguise, but he didn't say it clearly.

With Rosa here, the follow-up investigation will naturally find out the truth, and Frenda will not be able to claim the money.

Amy looked at the expressions of the people at the banquet, and was amazed in her heart.

As expected of a man who has been a lord for decades, Holder seized the opportunity of Rosa's visit and guided the situation to the direction he expected.

The point is, the sweetness he throws out is big enough for Liwen to refuse.

Reasonable and legal inheritance of the red lily of the valley collar can allow Liwen to control the real power. Whether she chooses to give back to the family, or to get rid of the control of the family and become self-reliant, she has the corresponding capital.

"The third..."

Holder sighed, "I hope you can keep the lily-of-the-valley field in the manor. If it doesn't look pleasing to the eye, please remove it in a gentle way so as not to damage those lily-of-the-valley flowers."

Amy thought of the flower fairy Lily of the Valley, and had to sigh, this lord is quite infatuated, obviously she has not seen Lily of the Lily for many years, but she still remembers it in her heart and never forgets.

"There are only three requirements, Liwen, can you do it?" Holder looked at his second wife beside him, with determination in his calm eyes.

Liwen only felt her mouth and tongue were dry, and she didn't want to face Holder's eyes.

She understood Holder's threat, and knew that it was a conspiracy. If she did not agree to these three requirements, the Red Lily of the Valley collar would return to the embrace of His Majesty the Emperor, and the family and her years of hard work would be in vain.

If she promises these three things, she will gain great power and benefits.

She has no reason to refuse.

It can only be said that Rosa came at the wrong time, and Holder's performance exceeded her expectations.

He obviously hadn't been in charge of anything for several years, and didn't even want to pay attention to his daughter. Every day he looked like he was in a daze, but he suddenly burst out with such energy.

Hateful and hateful!

Liwen took a deep breath and made her voice as soft as possible: "You are my husband, you trust me and are willing to give everything to me. I am very honored. I will do my best to do the things you ordered. Please rest assured .”

Holder chuckled, "Liwen, thank you."

He turned his gaze to Rosa again, "Ms. Rosa, please send this written will to the imperial capital."

He took off the ring on his left thumb, handed it to Rosa, and said, "This is the reward for this commission."

There are irregular concave lines on the ring, which is obviously the key to open the mechanism. If there is no accident, it should be the secret treasure house of the Holder family.

In order to get Rosa to agree to this matter, Holder paid a great price.

Being able to entrust such an important matter to Rosa also represents his trust in the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.

Rosa accepted the ring and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your trust, Your Excellency, I will handle this matter well, and the Chamber of Commerce will continue to follow up on the follow-up supervision matters."

"Thank you."

Holder bowed, and then he seemed to have exhausted all his energy, sat back on the chair, and took a big breath regardless of his image.

After more than a full minute, he stood up again, and walked out of the banquet hall without saying hello to everyone.

Old Fate: Chapter 92 Meeting

Watching Holder go away, the banquet hall fell into a brief silence.

Not long after, Mrs. Liwen opened her mouth to break the situation. She asked: "Ms. Rosa, my husband's mental condition seems to be not very good. Will there be any problems with the will made under such circumstances?"

The three conditions in the will are quite restrictive for Liwen, and she is looking for variables.

If you can get the support of Rosa, the witness, it is not difficult to secretly tamper with the will.

As for the other people in the room, Mrs. Liwen didn't care, including the butler Buddy.

With a polite smile on Rosa's face, she said, "Madame Liwen, are you questioning my professional ability? Your Excellency was clear when he spoke, and the written will was carefully and accurately worded, and logically logical. In my opinion, there is no No problem, fully capable of functioning normally."

"Ms. Rosa, we are all women, you should be able to understand my current position, can you be a little more accommodating?" Liwen asked unwillingly.

"I'm sorry." Rosa said, "I must be responsible to the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce behind me. If I violate the wishes of my employer at will, it will definitely affect the integrity of the Chamber of Commerce. This is a picture I don't want to see."

"Ms. Liwen, in my opinion, Lord Holder's will is very favorable to you. Why do you bother to make other variables?"

Liwen knew that Rosa couldn't be persuaded, so she sighed and said, "What Ms. Rosa said is true, I have been taught."

Rosa also knew that she couldn't change Liwen's mind, so she bowed slightly: "Farewell."

After finishing speaking, she left the banquet hall with Amy and Sirin.

On the way back, Rosa sighed in a low voice: "Lord Holder usually doesn't show his face, but unexpectedly he is a powerful figure! In comparison, Mrs. Liwen's situation is more than a little worse."

Amy nodded in agreement, "Liwen is somewhat greedy."

Holder's requirements were actually not difficult to fulfill, but Liwen was still not satisfied. Using "greedy" to describe it was already considered light.

"The old aristocrats of the new era were born under the education of the old aristocrats." Xilin gave a sharp comment, "The greedy greed is engraved in the bones, supplemented by the cruelty of killing husbands and abandoning daughters, plus a bit of double-faced and three-faced, playful... After hundreds of years, they still look like this, nothing has changed."

The three of them returned to the guest room very quickly. Chris hid behind the closet and came out when she saw that they were the ones coming back.

"When you were going to the dinner party, someone came to this room and seemed to be looking for something." Chris said, "I saw that the situation was not good, so I hid first, and the other party probably didn't find it."

"How is this person dressed?" Rosa asked.

Chrissy said: "Black tights, wearing a mask, and no identification to prove identity, it is impossible to tell whose subordinate it is."

"Standard stalker attire." Sirin shrugged, "Probably wanting to secretly check our luggage and determine the specific identities of me and Amy."

It's a pity that both of their things are also stored in the storage ring. If it weren't for the special situation last night, there would be no traces on the bed.

"It's not important." Amy concluded the matter, and said: "Lord Holder should have gone to the flower field again at this time, I will go there with Sirin, Rosa, you stay to protect Chris, and by the way Explain to her what happened at the banquet."

What happened at the banquet naturally referred to Holder's will.

Amy was too lazy to get involved in such trivial and troublesome matters, and as for appeasing Chris' emotions, I would leave it to Rosa.

Amy and Sirin entered the state of stealth and concealment, and touched the field of lily of the valley with ease.

Lord Holder was indeed here. He was still wearing the banquet dress and an extra coat to guard against the chill of the night.
