"Mrs. Hurley, your tea!" Watson put the teacup on the low table next to the sofa, only glanced at Athena, and got her affirmative expression before leaving.

The unfriendly appearance of this Mrs. Hurley really made Watson a little worried!He hurried downstairs, he had to go and find Sherlock quickly!

To be honest, Athena was very unconfident about Lestrade's mother's visit. She was just flirting with her. Why did she meet her parents out of nowhere now?

She drank the black tea silently, and in the end it was Lestrade's mother who spoke first, "In the past few months, I can clearly feel that Greg's condition is not right. the person I like."

Athena returned a polite smile and didn't reply. Mrs. Hurley continued: "You are very different from my imagination of Lestrade's wife. I always thought he would like dignified and elegant girls. I didn't expect ..."

By saying this, is it a run on yourself for not being dignified and elegant?Athena curled her lips slightly, and for Lestrade's sake, she held back her inner complaints, and continued to drink black tea in silence.

Unexpectedly, this Mrs. Hurley didn't notice any mistakes in her language at all, not only that, but she continued: "It's not that I haven't heard of the reputation of Miss Holmes, but I realized that what I said was true after seeing her today. Even a man who is not your fiancé, you can... be so intimate! This is not what a lady does!"

"Huh?" Athena smiled suspiciously. The eldest sister sitting next to her, you even did such things as having a child out of wedlock and being a lover for the Duke of Lancashire. avoid arousing suspicion.

Is there a mistake?You are really strict with others and more lenient than self-discipline!

At first glance, it is an old brand... well-known and double-standard!

Mrs. Hurley looked at her sinister smile and asked, "What are you laughing at? Am I wrong? How can a real lady have physical contact with a man she just knows? Besides... a real lady How could you rent a house with someone else?"

Speaking of which, she got up and looked around the house, still with a smile on her face, she said: "I originally! I wanted Greg to marry a rich American wife. After all, these old titles of nobility cannot be used as money. Doesn't it? Even Lord Eustace's elder brother, Lord San Simeon, wants to marry an American woman whose family runs a mine, so as to subsidize his family's deficit?"

After hearing this, Athena nodded in agreement and said, "I think your idea is very good! It's just...I heard that Lestrade has a marriage contract with Mrs. Pembasa?"

"Hmph! That old woman with no morals!" Mrs. Hurley glanced at Athena while saying this.

The expression in her eyes seemed to be saying... "She is not as good as you!"

Mrs. Hurley showed complete disdain for Mrs. Pembasa, and she said: "I will never agree with Lestrade marrying her! The Duke of Lancashire is simply ruining Greg and marrying a Londoner." Everyone knows a woman with a very bad reputation, even if Pumbasha really helps Greg...no one will look down on Greg in the future!"

"Then you come here...you can't let me persuade you? I don't think a small person like me has such great skills." Athena chuckled, and this Mrs. Hurley started talking nonsense since she came in. Luokung, just didn't say a word related to him.

Could it be that she regards herself as a confidant elder sister to complain about her son's marital problems and relieve her inner distress?

It's all about making complaints, Athena, who has kept her sanity, doesn't think so!

Sure enough, Mrs. Hurley saw her going straight to the point and said straight to the point: "I came today to say...you and Greg are not suitable, so don't pester him in the future! At the same time, the Duke of Lancashire wants him to marry Pembasha The same will not happen!

He would marry a rich and quiet lady and live happily ever after!I hope you don't bother me any more, okay? "

Athena watched her put on a haughty posture just waiting for her answer, Athena couldn't help but asked with a smile: "That's it?"

Usually in this kind of drama, shouldn't he take out a wad of banknotes and throw it in his face in the next second?

Almost as soon as Mrs. Hurley opened her mouth, Athena was ready to accept a huge sum of money, and she shouted under the temptation of money in tearful surrender: "Thank you ma'am! You are so generous! It really is human Good hearted! Willing to help a lost girl like me.

I am deeply moved by your deep maternal love and painstaking efforts towards Changhua, I am not worthy of it!I am not worthy!I don't deserve his love, I only deserve to be a vulgar scumbag with money! "

It's just... Judging from the current situation, the distance between the Victorian era and such a Mary Sue plot is obviously still very far away!

"This...does he know that you are here, Lestrade?" Athena put down the teacup in her hand, and asked back very calmly, but Mrs. Hurley just smiled and said: "Why? What's the matter with the conversation?"

Athena chuckled, and replied: "Since you say that, then it's gone! If you have had a good communication with your son, you should know that there was nothing before me and him. He has never been anything that I would not marry." Romeo, I am not Juliet who must not marry. I think that what you say to me is superfluous!

In fact, what you should really consider is how to change the Duke of Lancashire's thinking and Lestrade's thinking.Although you now bear the last name of Mr. Hurley and have your own legally legitimate son, Greg may perhaps spend more time with his son.Instead of running to my house and pointing fingers! "

After all, Athena didn't even look at the angry expression on Mrs. Hurley's face, she just stood up and walked towards the door frame to see off the guests, but when she stood up, she realized that Lestrade had left at some time When he came up, he stood outside the door and didn't know how much he heard.

This scene seems to have turned into a family ethics drama in an instant!

Lestrade didn't look very good looking at her, but Athena couldn't tell whether he was angry or indifferent... Before he could speak, Lestrade walked in directly and walked up to Mrs. Hurley. in front of.

"Greg, what are you..." Mrs. Hurley saw Lestrade walking in, with obvious panic in her eyes, she slowly got up and wanted to explain, but before she finished speaking, Lestrade De interrupted.

"Did I tell you that I have nothing to do with Miss Holmes? Did I tell you that I am a person, not an object? You want to use me as a guarantee for Mr. Hurley's business with the Americans, Let me marry an American woman!

The Duke of Lancashire, he wants me to go to war for the declining Lancashire family, so I have to marry Lady Pembasar again.You and the Duke of Lancashire are really flattering me. I'm just an illegitimate child. Whether it's Lady Pembasa or the Miss America you mentioned, don't they think so highly of me?Should I not marry?You are too wishful thinking! "

After Lestrade said these words, he smiled half self-deprecatingly and half helplessly: "Mom, I'm not any of you's bargaining chip. I shouldn't let you control my life all the time. I like being a detective at Scotland Yard." , I don't want to join the Navy, and I don't want to learn business from Mr. Hurley.

I don't want to marry some American woman I don't know, and I don't want to marry Mrs. Pembasa who doesn't like each other.This is my own life, I want to marry a woman I love, live with her for the rest of my life, and form our family. "

He slowly turned his head to look at Athena beside him, and suddenly laughed and said, "It's our family, without the Duke of Lancashire, without you, Mrs. Hurley. It's just me being with someone I like! Of course ! Maybe there will be children in the future!"

Athena stared wide-eyed at the affectionate Lestrade in front of her, her body leaned back tactically almost unconsciously.

Now her heart is full of complaints: No!Just say it!What are you looking at me for?I just said that it has nothing to do with you, isn't that a slap in the face?Even if you use me as a shield, that's not the way to use it, is it?

Sure enough, Mrs. Hurley was so angry that her hair stood on end after hearing what Lestrade said.Pointing at Athena, she rushed over and said, "Didn't you say that you have nothing to do with Greg? Is that called nothing? Greg has never spoken to me like this since I was a child!"

Lestrade had quick eyes and quick hands, and pulled Athena behind him, but Mrs. Hurley kept talking.

"Do you know that you're going to destroy him? I'll die for him! Do you know what it's like to have no money? Without my sponsorship for Greg, just relying on his meager salary as a police detective , you can't survive a day with a smug lady like you!"

After hearing what his mother said, Lestrade knew that because he was afraid of losing the love of his parents since he was a child, he obeyed no matter what they said, which led to today's situation.All compromise and obedience eventually became a matter of course, and if they couldn't do what they wanted, it would be treason.

But the person who taught himself how to muster up courage is now standing beside him, how can he back down!

Just as Lestrade was about to speak, he felt his palm being slowly held back by her. He turned his head and wanted to look down at Athena, but found that Athena looked at his mother with a very bright smile, almost wanting to Without thinking, he said, "I'll raise him!"

Lestrade suddenly laughed, and asked in a low voice, "What did you say?"

"I'll support you! You go to punish the criminals in London, do what you like to do most, and protect the safety of everyone in the jurisdiction. I will earn money to support you! It's like raising a little boy! Then again What's the matter?"

Athena's crooked eyes were like stars in the night sky, they shone extraordinarily after blinking, her smile was sweet and pleasant, and her usual coquettish attitude was completely gone.

If it wasn't because I knew her too well, I would have been fooled by her sincere expression!

"My family still has some money, and my dowry is really not small, and I have two brothers who like and love me the most to help." She looked at Lestrade and said with a smile: "Sherlock is still How about your friend!"

After that, she looked at Mrs. Hurley again and said, "And even if I do marry him, that doesn't mean I have to be a rich wife who only spends my husband's money! Can't I go out to work?"

Mrs. Hurley dismissed such remarks. Is there any high-class woman in London who is married and still works?Even if they are not married, these delicate ladies will not have any relationship with the word "work".Even if she really went to work, what could such a young lady do besides eating, drinking and having fun?

"Come on!" Mrs. Hurley said with a mocking smile, "What will you do? Be someone else's mistress?"

"Heh..." Athena gave her a cold look, and even kicked her nose in the face!

"Being a mistress is something you have done. I don't need such a dishonorable thing. Even if I only paint two paintings for the royal family a year, it is enough for my expenses! You see... If you hadn't given up dancing ballet, now Maybe she will also become a well-known dance master at home and abroad! Not a... woman whose scars heal and forget the pain!"

"you……"

Lestrade, standing beside her, knew that she had said too much about her mother, but it was true.

In addition, Athena has always been a master who refuses to suffer a little bit. She was raised as a princess of the Sherlock Holmes family since she was a child.

Mother has been bossing her around since she came in today, and now it's even more... humiliating.If she can hold back her words, she will really be a ghost!

"How can you talk to me like this at such a young age? Even the wives and wives in Vanity Fair treat me a little less, you..."

Mrs. Hurley hadn't finished speaking when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind the crowd. The alienated and disgusted tone almost made Athena and Lestrade jump when she spoke.No one expected that Mycroft would come back at this time.

At the door, Mycroft took off his tall hat, and propped his cane by the door frame. He pursed his lips slightly, his face was really not good, and his tone...was even worse.

"Mrs. Hurley, don't blame others if you do it! I don't care what your purpose is for coming here, of course! Guess it's for your cowardly son!"

He turned his head to look at Lestrade and smiled, but Lestrade was only afraid of such a smile, but today he was unwilling to let go of the hand of his lover that he had always wanted to hold.

Mycroft lifted his cane and walked in slowly with that false smile on his face. He looked at Mrs. Hurley and said, "But you shouldn't have provoked my sister, please apologize!"

"Who are you? What are you asking me to apologize? Do you know..." Mrs. Hurley was still chattering, but Mycroft suddenly suppressed all his smiles.

With nothing but seriousness on his face, he cut off Mrs. Hurley's self-boasting categorically, and it was still just those four words.

"Please apologize!"
