gentleman's manor

The butler and the footmen cleared away and left, leaving me alone in the dining room.

Everything happened again as I remembered.

Elizabeth came in quietly and pushed me from behind. I fell off the seat so hard that I hit my knees.I fell to the ground and looked at the smiling Elizabeth, who was looking at me triumphantly.

"You brothers are really annoying. This is our home now. What are you? Why are you sitting at the same dining table with me." The 14-year-old girl is in the season of flowers, but it's a pity that the ferocious and resentful expression Life and death ruined this beauty.

Elizabeth probably hated William very much. Apart from illegitimate daughter and slut, William didn’t have a third name for her, so she vented this hatred on me after William left.Seeing that I didn't respond, she raised her foot and kicked me. The pointed-toed shoes made of lambskin hurt me very much.

I didn't sit still, I got up and hit her, but before I hit her, she screamed loudly: "Help! Help! Adam is going to kill me!"

At this time in my previous life, I was taken aback by her screams, and my father who rushed over stopped me before I had time to do anything, but she beat me back and said that I beat her, no matter how I explained, my father would not listen.Inspired by Mrs. Jenny's tears, he not only slapped me hard, but also locked me up and forbade others to bring me food.After a few days he put me in a carriage to boarding school, and I was sent to a charity school, from which I never came home again.

This time, of course, I hit up mercilessly. I'm going to be driven away anyway, so don't be wronged.After all, boys are very powerful, even if I am only 12 years old this year.I kicked Elizabeth to the ground, rode on her stomach, and beat her in the chest until she couldn't cry until I was pulled away by the servants who came.

My father stared at me angrily, with a terrible expression on his face, like a ferocious devil, he slapped me without saying a word, and I was slapped to the ground.Then he anxiously held his daughter in his arms: "God, Elizabeth, are you okay?"

The strength of an adult is unbearable for a child like me. If I hadn’t avoided it on purpose, I’m afraid I would be deaf in one ear by him. Even so, I was beaten with nosebleeds.

"Get a doctor!" the father yelled, "Baby, baby, where does it hurt? Tell Dad."

Elizabeth cried pitifully, this time she was really in pain, and she was so painful that she couldn't speak.Following her mother's instructions, she intentionally made trouble for Adam, and immediately sued her father as soon as he resisted, so as to drive Adam out together, so that the two brothers would never get in the way of their eyes.But who knew that Adam was so ruthless, that bastard William could only curse people at best, but this kid Adam punched people with his fist like a wild child on the street.

Mrs. Jenny who hurried over saw this scene and fainted again.After being rescued, she didn't speak, but hugged her daughter softly and shed tears.Seeing this scene, my father's eyes turned red anxiously, and he stared at me even more angrily.

The only one who cared about me was Simon. The old housekeeper hastily stopped my nosebleed, and then asked me how I feel, can you hear me?Is there any discomfort?

But my father yelled at me: "I lock him up, this animal! Don't give him food, I want him to learn a lesson!"

In fact, I wasn't starved for long.

When the old housekeeper came to see me, he secretly hid a large loaf of bread for me.

"How did this happen so quickly? Why did it start?" Simon asked me.

"They managed to drive away this difficult guy, brother, and of course it will be my turn." I ate the bread and said, "I really don't understand them, I don't inherit Quint Manor at all, Why bother with me, it doesn't cost much to support me."

Simon sighed and said, "Master, don't fight against the master, it's not good for you."

"It's not about my confrontation with my father. It's about them deliberately making trouble. I can't avoid it." I looked at Simon solemnly: "Help me, let me leave this house too, I want to go to school outside."

Upstairs, in Miss Elizabeth's luxurious bedroom, Mrs. Jenny was weeping sadly at her injured daughter. This time she was really sad, because her daughter was beaten badly, her entire chest was bruised, and her newly developed breasts were swollen. It hurts badly when touched.

"My wife, don't be sad, I won't let that kid go easily." Dean comforted her with heartache.

Mrs. Jenny just cried quietly without saying a word, which made her look even more pitiful. Dean felt so distressed in an instant, and he said viciously, "I must break his leg!"

"No, you can't do this. He is your son, and Elizabeth is just your illegitimate daughter. If it is spread that you broke his son's leg for Elizabeth, your reputation and ours will be even worse. My daughter and I Even if you die, your reputation will not be damaged." Jenny cried.

"Jenny, my Jenny, I really don't know, I have wronged you so much." Dean gritted his teeth while hurting, and said, "For you, I will never forgive him, and I will never give him a life in the future." Penny estate!"

"Adam doesn't need you to give him money, he has the inheritance left by his mother." Jenny said quietly.

Dean became even angrier. He wandered back and forth angrily, complaining, "It's all because of the broken will my father signed! The dowry will go directly to the husband, what about me? I can't even get a penny for the five thousand pounds dowry." Now, why did I marry that woman in the first place! Why! My woman and child are still suffering from this kind of pain!"

"Why can't you handle the five thousand pounds? After a woman gets married, doesn't the dowry become her husband's private property? A woman can't have property after marriage, right?" Jenny asked cautiously for the first time about Margaret's dowry That's a lot of money, she has thought about it for a long time, but she doesn't want to show a little bit of greed in front of Dean, because she knows this man, the more you don't want him, the more he wants to give you more .

"It's a terrible agreement signed before marriage. Through the escrow agency, we only pay us interest every year, and I have no right to use the principal. According to the contract, the five thousand pounds can only be inherited by her direct children when they become adults." Dean said depressedly.

"So how much interest is there every year?" Jenny asked again.

"Four percent," Dean said.

"Then there is only 200 pounds of income per year, which is too little. If you can use this money to invest, how much money should you earn back every year! Is it true that they can only inherit it when they become adults?"

"No way." Dean shook his head and said.

"What if the children don't grow up safely? Will the money belong to you then?" Jenny asked cautiously.

Dean said regretfully: "Unless the children are dead, they don't belong to me."

"This is really..." Jenny sighed and said, "That Baron William is too much, he shouldn't treat you like this, cheating you into marrying her daughter, but giving you nothing, instead making you unable to talk about the family business Disposal right, your father must have been deceived by Margaret's father back then."

"Yeah! They're dirty vampires, dirty liars!" Dean swore.

Jenny looked at her daughter on the bed again, a flash of hatred flashed in her eyes, and she cried, "I don't care why we are so miserable, but my child, my child shouldn't have to bear this, especially Elizabeth , she originally became an illegitimate daughter that everyone looked down on because of the mistakes I made, and now she is... woo woo..."

Dean knelt down on one knee, held Mrs. Jenny's hand and said: "Don't be sad, my Jenny, I will send Adam away at once, and I will never let him appear in front of you again. He can never hurt you again. .”

Jenny leaned on her husband's shoulder and didn't speak, just wept.

There are some women in this world who can get everything they need with just tears.

……

I was locked in the room for more than ten days, and every time the housekeeper Simon quietly brought me something to eat. I thought that if the housekeeper was not thinking about me, I was afraid that I would have been forgotten and starved to death.

On this day, I was finally released, and the butler took me to my father's study.

I like the large study in the Quint Manor, it is a large room full of bookshelves, the bookshelves are full of books, the collections of Constantine's masters from generation to generation, all of which are exquisitely framed and elegant.The floor was covered with thick Persian blankets, but the patterns looked like scary faces. This was Mrs. Jenny's taste, and I doubted her eyesight.Maybe she just bought the most expensive thing, who told her to look like a nouveau riche.

My father still stared at me angrily and remained silent. I stood far away from him, praying in my heart to pass quickly. This was really exhausting.

"I always thought you were not like your brother, I thought you were a good boy. Who knew I was so wrong, I have never seen such a bad-tempered kid like you, you are as violent as a street gangster, without any rest Behavior, I really doubt how the tutor who hired you back then taught you!" The father finally spoke, and the content was extremely embarrassing.

I am a very sensible person, although I can say a lot of words to refute him, but it is very irrational for my current situation, so I bowed my head and apologized to him: "I'm sorry, father, I was wrong, Don't be too impulsive, I already regret it, I did terrible things to my dear sister, I'm such a bastard, Elizabeth, is she okay? I wish I could apologize to her personally."

My father took a deep breath. Obviously my words eased the anger in his heart. He said, "There is no need to apologize. Elizabeth will be more scared when she sees you."

"Oh, what a pity, I really want to apologize to her in person."

The father snorted coldly and said: "A child with a bad temper like you should go to hell. Now that you realize your mistake, don't do such terrible things again. Tomorrow, I will send you to school, You've grown up, it's time to leave home and go to school."

"But, father, I don't want to leave home." I said sadly.

"Boys never leave home, let alone you have done such a bad thing. Keeping you at home will only make your mother and siblings sad. You should go to school to learn how to be an upright and useful person."

"I don't want to leave the house, please father."

"Stop talking, it's really annoying, take him away!" Father ordered.

"I won't go, I won't go," I shouted, "I won't go unless you promise Butler Simon to take me to school."

The father let out a breath of foul breath and waved to the housekeeper: "Take him out, and you will see him off tomorrow."

"Yes, sir." Simon led me back.

I secretly satirized the man in front of me, what father in the world would curse his own son to go to hell?He is actually more like a child than me. Apart from his good-looking face, he is impulsive, reckless, and has no brains. That's why he is manipulated by that woman, Jenny, but it also means that he is also easily manipulated by me.

I can finally leave this disturbing home, no matter what.
