lover of earl grest

Nervously entangled with each other, and then loosened, over and over again.

"That difficult lawyer! Don't let him see Randall! Can't...I have to think of a way..." She kept muttering, but her mind was blank, and she couldn't think of anything. No.At this moment, fear and anxiety had taken over her heart.Her words caused the housekeeper beside her to frown deeply.

"Oh, what else can I do? I even thought of asking you to prove that Randall has a mental illness." Suddenly she stopped and stood in front of the butler, her eyes full of fear: "He actually stood in front of me Mention of Terry! How scary! I can't help myself!"

"Madam, with all due respect." The butler said cautiously, "It's not a good idea to explain your lord's mental state, it will bring us more trouble, and that shrewd lawyer will definitely find out the problem. Once he finds out, What happened four years ago will definitely be..."

"Stop talking!" Norin trembled all over her body. She tried her best not to fall into the abyss of terrible memories, and when she saw the unlit candlestick, she felt even more frightened. "I know, I know this idea is too stupid, but I have no other way!" Her tone of voice was a little unsteady: "Oh my god, the boundless darkness has swallowed me, making me unable to think or breathe!"This place is the origin of all nightmares!terrible!Gerald, what should we do?tell me what to do! "

"Madam, please calm down!" The young housekeeper tried his best to comfort the hostess: "The current situation does not allow us to make any mistakes. In my opinion, it is not easy to hide from that lawyer. We must take a risky move. .”

"What can you do?" The countess stared at the butler closely, she eagerly hoped that the shrewd man in front of her could come up with a solution to the problem, but for a moment she felt scared again, unwilling to hear any risky advice proposal.

Gerald paused, he knew that his proposal would deepen the hostess' fear, but this was the only way to do it.So he said cautiously: "Now it seems that the lawyer will not leave here until he sees the Earl. He already feels that something is wrong, and he is asking people about things related to the Earl. I can't always Intervene, I'm afraid it will aggravate his curiosity and deepen his suspicion. The longer he stays here, the worse it will be for us. It's better to let the adults come forward to sign the document as soon as possible, so that he has no reason to stay in Reddings .”

"You mean... Let Randall meet with him?" The Countess' eyes widened.

"Yes, ma'am, that's the only way for now. And I'm sure the count won't want to talk to him about other things. All these years, your lordship has been..."

At this moment, Norin lowered his eyelids, his face was pale, and he bit his lips unconsciously, as if he was weighing the pros and cons, and he seemed to be engaged in a violent psychological struggle. "Must it be? I don't want to see Randall! It's horrible! I can't face him! Everything he says scares me!"

"Ma'am, you have to cheer up, we have to get through this. Otherwise, everything will be over." Gerald couldn't help reaching out and holding the trembling hands of the hostess.

After a long time, Nuo Lin withdrew the hand that was being held, walked slowly to the huge French window, and said in a tired voice: "You go down first, and let me calm down alone."

"Yes, ma'am." The butler bowed slightly to his mistress, "Good night." Then he left gently.

The hazy moonlight was not enough to penetrate the deep and dense darkness, and the scenery outside the window was gloomy.Nuo Lin pushed open a window, and the cold and damp evening wind immediately poured into the house, lifted the white floor-to-ceiling curtains and her skirt, and the candlelight also danced violently.The boundless night of the plain unfolded in front of my eyes, not the longing and familiarity of the past, but brought endless depression and fear.Noreen regretted that Gerald should have been asked to light the candles in the other candlestick just now.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 7

Ronald got up early, and he slept well last night, which was a bit beyond his expectations.Now he is sitting at the long table in the dining room, flipping through a book.The restaurant during the day seems to be completely different from last night, and now the interior is well lit.The curtains on the large windows facing the sun were drawn, and the sun had not yet risen, but the sky was already bright, with fresh air and crystal clear dewdrops waiting for the newborn sun.Ronald turned a few pages, then raised his head and turned his attention to the two busy servants.The servants are preparing breakfast under the direction of the steward.When the servants were surprised to see the guests appearing here early in the morning, they panicked and quickened their movements. Ronald smiled and explained that he was just used to getting up early, so they didn't have to worry about it.The two servants continued their work discreetly, trying not to disturb the guests as they changed the cloths on the tables.The butler Gerald frowned slightly at all this, bowed to Ronald, expressing that he would not disturb, and then turned and walked out of the restaurant.Ronald guessed that the butler had gone to the kitchen, and he sighed inwardly. Sure enough, he had to go to the old cook after breakfast.

The Countess didn't show up at breakfast, which was exactly what Ronald wanted. He didn't want the hysterical woman to make any strange requests and disrupt his plans for the day.After breakfast, Ronald pretended to be doing nothing and went for a walk outside.He walked out of the surprisingly large front door, walked around to the right side of the castle, passed through the low bushes, and saw rows of racks drying clothes and sheets, and heard the voices of two women.

Only a high-pitched voice complained: "These should be washed quickly! God, what wind brought the countess here! Let us do so much work!"

Another somewhat childish voice said: "I would like to thank the gust of wind, otherwise I thought I would never have the chance to meet the mistress of this castle, Sister Donna, don't you find it very interesting? This is really Exciting!"

"Then hurry up and wash these sheets while you are still energetic and excited. This lady is a hard-to-serve master. Didn't you see the maid next to her? The master has to be busy just by looking at her." It's enough for her to be busy. These, Ann, wash these first, these blankets are not easy to dry."

"Okay. Oh, yes, I heard from Ryan that it seems that a very important adult has come to work for the court. He is very easy-going and does not have the airs of those adults at all. Maybe it is because he , did the countess come here?"

"Hmph, then I have to thank him very much! Thanks to him, we almost painted the entire castle! Ann, you went to find that manservant again? I didn't mean him, look at his meek and cowardly The appearance is far from that of Steward Gerald, and it is hard to say whether he can be promoted to a senior manservant in the future, and there is no future!"

"I don't care about these, I like his gentleness and kindness. Of course I know that he can't meet your high requirements, and he can't compare with the boss you talk about all day long!" Some childish voice laughed mischievously .

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't..." the loud voice shook Da Da Da's hand while speaking, a few drops of water splashed on her companion, and the two laughed happily.However, it didn't take long for them to quarrel, and the movements of their hands stopped, and they froze in mid-air.Because they saw a well-dressed gentleman walking towards them with a smile at the same time.

The sudden appearance of Ronald surprised the two maids. They stood up quickly. The older maid quietly wiped her hands on her apron. The other maid was still childish, with big bright eyes and hands Clutching in front of his body, he crumpled the apron around his body.Both looked awkward.

Ronald took off his hat with a smile: "Good morning, two lovely ladies! I seem to have interrupted your work?"

The two maids didn't expect such a gentleman to salute them, and hurriedly returned the salute.The older maid named Donna stammered: "First... sir, you shouldn't come here... oh, I mean, here... this is where we servants work. A place like you, a distinguished gentleman like you..." Her words were not as fluent as before, and her volume was also significantly lowered.

Ronald said with a smile: "This castle is too big, I think I'm still lost. But if I didn't get here, I might not know that my arrival will cause so much trouble for you. I really feel sorry for you." .”

Donna blushed at this time, and hurriedly explained: "Oh no! Sir, you misunderstood, it is our honor to serve you!"

"Yes, sir, we are happy to serve you!" Ann, the younger maid, hurriedly said as if helping her companion smooth things over, and at the same time slightly knelt down to Ronald.She should be a simple and well-behaved little girl.Ronald thought to himself.

Ronald put the black felt hat on his chest, bowed his head slightly as a gesture of return, then raised his head to look at the rows of drying clothes in front of him and the two large wooden barrels in front of the two maids, and said with a little surprise: "But I really didn't expect that there are so few people in charge of logistics here! If there is a big dinner or some other event, how can you be so busy?"

At this time, Ann spoke first: "Sir, haven't you noticed? It's so desolate here, let alone a dinner party. In the past few years, there have been a series of events."
