The queen's wife is too sultry

The moon and stars are sparse, and the night wind is cold.

In the prosperous and luxurious manor, there is a lot of fun.

And outside the dark and cold house, a group of figures were moving slowly under the moonlight.

After a while, four security guards were on duty at the east gate of the manor.

Suddenly, a figure slowly approached the east gate. One of the security guards noticed the movement, looked over vigilantly, and asked sharply:
"who!"

It wasn't until the figure approached that the security guard saw her face clearly with the help of the moonlight, and then he lowered his head in panic:
"Miss Meilin, excuse me for being rude..."

Mei Lin gathered the fox fur cloak on her body, and said lightly:

"fine."

The security guards looked at each other and asked:
"Miss Mei Lin, what's the matter with you coming to the east gate so late?"

"The whole manor is my home, I can just go around, can't I?"

The security guard lowered his head, "Of course, it's just that Mr. George ordered that no one is allowed to leave without his permission..."

"Father's order, of course I know."

Mei Lin stood not far away, looking lazily at the security guards:
"I have prepared a vase. It is very expensive and needs to be sent to Earl Ryan by myself. Father and Arthur have approved it. Here is the key."

After she finished speaking, she threw something out of her hand, and the security guard caught it quickly, feeling heavy and cold to the touch, and looking down, it was the key to the east gate.

"This...Miss Meilin..." The security guard showed embarrassment.

"Father is resting, don't bother him with calls, just open the door and let us go out."

After she said that, she looked back.

The security guards followed her gaze, and it turned out that there were two men following her behind her.

The two men were dressed in overalls and baseball caps, and their faces could not be seen clearly. Together, they were carrying a cabinet as tall as a person, which seemed to be the extremely precious vase that Mei Lin said.

Seeing the security guards hesitate to open the door, Mei Lin narrowed her eyes, "What? You don't listen to me anymore?"

The security guard lowered his head in fear, "Don't dare..."

"Then quickly open the door!"

Mei Lin's status in the manor was actually second only to George.

On the surface, Arthur is stronger and has the greatest reputation in the family and the outside world, but in fact, Mei Lin is not inferior to this brother, even more outstanding than him, careful, calm, objective, and comprehensive. One of the reasons to be George's most important helper.

Unlike Catherine's indifference, Mei Lin has a way of managing the family. Most of the servants have admiration and fear for this third lady.

There was once a domestic servant who had served Dawson's family for nearly ten years, and was mercilessly fired by her because of a drunken slip of the tongue.

Thinking of this precedent, the security guard did not dare to neglect her, and quickly opened the heavy and cold iron door with a key. With a "creak", the door that imprisoned freedom was opened.

Just as Mei Lin was about to walk out of the iron gate, she was stopped by security again:
"Miss Meilin, Mr. George has ordered that no one from the Dawson family be allowed to leave the manor. You should stay in the manor. The work of delivering the vases will be handed over to these staff."

Mei Lin squinted her eyes, looked back at the cabinet, and said lightly to the two:

"I won't go, you two have to escort the vase carefully, don't drop it..."

The person who carried the cabinet responded, and then did not speak again.

Watching this scene, a security guard next to him felt that there was something strange in his heart, but he couldn't explain it, so he saw the two people walking out of the east gate carrying the cabinet.

"The truck is right in front, just put the vase sideways."

After seeing the two people loading the vase into the car, Mei Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

After the security guard closed the east gate again, he returned the key to her.

She took the key and left without looking back.

As soon as they got back to the door, they met Catherine's anxious and nervous face.

"Well, Merlin, are they out?"

Mei Lin smiled lightly and held her hand, "Don't worry, this method works, they have already left by car."

"That's good..." Catherine murmured in a low voice.

Mei Lin looked around to make sure there was no one else, then sighed:

"Catherine, is it worth it for you?"

Catherine nodded and said softly, "It's worth it, I don't regret it at all."

"Do you know what the consequences would be if my father found out that the two of us had secretly sent Frank away?"

Catherine smiled wryly: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Meilin hated iron and said: "I don't want to hear this, I just hope you can live happily."

"I know you don't love Gu Zhe. When I persuaded you to marry him, I thought you would gradually forget Frank. But on the day of the celebration banquet, I saw the way you looked at him, so I knew you hadn't forgotten him at all."

"Catherine, I can't imagine how you have lived these years, but I do regret it. You are my only sister. I wish you a happy life more than anyone else, even if it means betraying Arthur and his father..."

Catherine raised her head hastily upon hearing this, "No, you didn't betray them, you just... just did the right thing, didn't you?"

She bit her lip, her eyes burst out with resentment, "Frank has sacrificed so much for the family, father and Arthur are not qualified to make him sacrifice his life."

Mei Lin sighed again, "My silly sister, my father's starting point is all for the family, you shouldn't blame him like this..."

Catherine pursed her lips and said nothing.

Seeing her pale face, Mei Lin couldn't help feeling distressed, took off her cloak and put it on her, and asked in a low voice:
"You haven't told me why Gu Zhe is willing to do those things for you."

"He is your husband, I can't figure it out..."

Catherine said softly, "Because..."
