lover of earl grest

It is very necessary, and can even be said to be the last key procedure that is indispensable.But you, ma'am, I'm afraid you've wasted all your toil and travel.Of course, if you miss your husband, the journey is worth it, and I promise I won't disturb your reunion with your husband. "

These words shocked the Countess, but even after she calmed down, she still said coldly: "Stop being slick, no one can compare to you, Mr. Lawyer, in terms of eloquence. I told you very clearly. , I am in charge of all the affairs of the Grester family, and my useless husband will not care about these matters."

"This may be true," Ronald said slowly, "but according to the law, the expropriation or voluntary donation of fixed assets and part of the land must be signed by the direct heir of the property. Sorry, Ma'am, these documents are only valid with your husband's own signature."

The countess frowned, stomping back and forth in front of the sofa.Suddenly she raised her head to look at Ronald, the scowl on her face disappeared, and there was even a smile on her face, which surprised Ronald a little.She smiled and said, "I know, of course I know that. You see, Mr. Hurst, tea time is coming soon. Let's enjoy the beautiful afternoon of the manor together in the lounge or outside. I think We were able to work it out in such a pleasant time."

Ronald didn't know what the woman's attitude suddenly changed and she was trying to invite him, but he still politely accepted the hostess' invitation.

The location of the afternoon tea was arranged in a small pavilion beside the lawn in the front garden. The pavilion is located on a small piece of high ground, backed by a small forest, from which you can have a panoramic view of the front yard and the entire castle .Steward Gerald put trays of exquisite pastries on the table, including Ronald's favorite tiramisu and radish sweet cake. After he took a sip of black tea, he found that the tea had added lemon juice. He looked at the butler standing aside with satisfaction.The butler bowed slightly to them, then stepped back with the tray in hand.

At this time, Countess Noreen Grester had already taken off her previous travel outfit, and put on an elegant light blue skirt with cumbersome layers of lace on the skirt and cuffs, and the white shawl was faintly visible. The embossed pattern on her face is exquisite and elegant, and a strand of flaxen-colored curly hair hangs from behind her ear and gently rests on her neck, which further accentuates the smooth and delicate skin and the soft lines of the neck.The brim of a fashionable wide-brimmed hat casts a shadow on her round face. A pair of charming blue eyes are looking down at a cup of black coffee in her hand. The petals of the red rose are even more touching.Without the domineering anger she had before, she now appears peaceful and serene.Ronald admired the beautiful woman in front of him, and he could imagine her handsome appearance when she married the earl, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of person the earl could be so obsessed with, so much so that he left him in the cold Charming wife?

"It's been four years, and I've never set foot in Reddings since I left. The desolation here is really unbearable!" The countess spoke first, and then moved into the chair covered with woolen blankets.

"Yes, I agree." Ronald said: "But I am very puzzled, how can the Earl ignore the desolation here? If we can add some more manpower, with the ability of that excellent housekeeper, we can make this place It’s not hard to take care of it.”

"He's a lunatic!" The Countess looked into the distance with her eyes fascinated, but her tone did not hesitate: "There is definitely something wrong with his spirit! He scares me!"

Ronald raised his eyebrows. This was the first time the countess had talked about her husband to him, and he did not expect such an evaluation.He adjusted his posture and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"No one can live such a life! Shut yourself in a dark room, ignoring the outside world, this is absolutely unbearable for normal people! His fanaticism has frightened me at the beginning, and I can't continue I lived such a life, so I escaped here." The Countess's beautiful face was distorted by pain.

"Fanish? What is he fanatical about...?" Ronald asked cautiously.He saw the countess bowed her head and stopped talking. Although the brim of the hat covered her face and could not see her expression, Ronald knew that memories at this time were like countless needles, deeply pierced into her heart.So Ronald didn't ask any more.

At this time, the countess suddenly raised her head to look at Ronald, with a gleam in her eyes that Ronald couldn't understand, she said: "Everyone here can prove that Randall's mental problems, if necessary , I can ask Gerald and all the servants here to present a certificate."

Ronald was stunned by her words. Before he could think about it, the countess continued to speak: "You are a visitor here, and you also feel something unusual here, don't you? Isn't this enough to explain the problem? It would be more convincing if you could help me demonstrate Randall's mental condition."

"I don't understand, you want me to prove for you that your husband is mentally ill?"

"Yes, you know that a person with a mental illness is not qualified to sign important documents. Please rest assured that even if I sign it, I will never violate any content of the agreement! Grester Half of the family’s property is donated to the imperial court free of charge as military expenses during wartime.”

This woman really had such an idea.Clearly, Ronald thought, it wasn't the property that mattered to her, but the reluctance to have her husband seen.That's probably why she kept blocking her from coming to Reddings.Ronald thought for a while, and said to the countess: "It's not impossible, but I'm afraid that just me and the people here are not enough to prove everything. There must be spiritual experts to provide professional treatment for the count. Test and let them present stronger evidence."

"Oh, do you have to do this?" The countess looked very disturbed: "Is there no one else who can prove it? Will my proof be valid?"

"I can't guarantee whether the review meeting will adopt this, because this matter is of great importance." Ronald pretended to be contemplative, and after a while he said: "Madam, there may be another person's proof that is also very important, even if You prefer not to mention it, but that person's proof is arguably indispensable."

"Who?" The countess immediately became alert, her whole body tensed up, and she stared fiercely at Ronald's eyes as if she was about to burst into anger.

Ronald said word by word, "It's Mr. Terencia Donivano Windyford."

The author has something to say:

Chapter 6

At this time, the Countess's eyes were wide open, her face was pale, her beautiful face was completely distorted, she trembled all over, and she almost screamed: "No! That is absolutely impossible! My lord, let's not talk about this anymore Already!" After speaking, he stood up and walked quickly towards the castle.Then her maid hurried to gather up the woolen blanket on the countess's seat.

When the maid was about to leave, Ronald shrugged and said to her: "I'm sorry for offending your mistress, it seems that I can only enjoy this afternoon tea alone." Blanket bowed to Ronald and hurried away.

The fact is that Ronald even ate his dinner alone.On the long dining table, a dozen candles on the candlesticks can only illuminate a corner of the dining room, and the ghostly shadows reflected on the wall dance with the candlelight, and the wax tears drip down one by one.The carefully cooked dishes were served one after another by the servants.Ronald noticed that after the afternoon tea, the butler's attitude was more indifferent than before, and seemed to be vaguely hostile, and now he didn't even show up in the restaurant.Apparently he already knew what happened at tea time.A loyal butler will always stand by his master.But the question is, to which master is he loyal?Is it the Earl who has been serving you all the time, or the Countess whose mood is unpredictable?Ronald seems to have discovered something interesting, while enjoying delicious food while guessing with great interest.

Earl's Chef is excellent!There are only a handful of chefs who can cook such dishes, even among the royal chefs of the court nobles, Ronald praised sincerely.He remembered Herve Gardener telling him that the old cook named Peasegood had been working here for years.Suddenly he was startled, yes, when the gardener told him about it, he was only thinking about that Lord Wendy Ford, and ignored the old cook!The cook seemed to be the only servant Ronald knew who worked the longest in the manor. He should know more about the manor and the mysterious lord.It seems that there is something to do tomorrow, Ronald thought, the corners of his mouth raised up unconsciously.

At the same time, in Countess Noreen Grester's room, Steward Gerald was carefully lighting the candles on the floor candlesticks with a torch.The countess paced back and forth in the spacious room, and with every step, her exquisite shoes sank deeply into the thick Persian carpet.Then she suddenly waved her hand to the butler who was about to go to another candlestick and said, "You don't need to light all the candles, that's all."

"Yes, ma'am." The housekeeper blew out the torch in his hand, and stood quietly with his head down.His mistress is still pacing up and down, the fingers of both hands
