The gods crowned her [Famous Book]

"It's too deceiving!" Anna couldn't help but swelled into a liver-colored face after learning that her daughter came back overnight, "Then no matter how prominent Clarence is, he can't be so defiant. It's true that our Wellesley family is a vegetarian. ?”

"That's right, it's unforgivable to treat Miss like this!" Rachel was more and more indignant as she listened, and she even quit her sewing and helped the hostess step on the floor tiles to vent her anger.

"Heh, if we go back to the Stuart dynasty, my family is also the most beautiful nobleman in Ireland, how can we get these arrogant Englishmen to show off?"

Anna started rambling about the past glory of the family again, and continued to stir fry the rotten rice.

There happened to be a loyal listener, Rachel, who echoed while listening, and looked at Ivy who was standing there changing her dressing gown with pity: "Oh, my dearest lady, after suffering such a great grievance, in the future, they must be allowed to return return."

However, the person involved did not participate in the denunciation meeting of the two middle-aged and elderly women. His mother's angry voice echoed in his ears, and he was thinking about things in his mind.

But the more Ivy thought about it, the more something went wrong. How could the old duke know that he had dealt with the prince?It stands to reason that few people knew about August's visit.

unless--

It was his precious son who tipped it off.

At that time, only Richard and Rachel watched with their own eyes, and the only outsider was Kevin who stayed out of it.

Therefore, Ivy guessed that he must have said bad things about himself to his father, and the possibility of malicious smearing was not even ruled out.

Not only that she is a poor girl with little property.Even more unforgivable, he also humiliated her as a shameless "slut".

The more Ivy speculated, the more she hated Kevin and gritted her teeth.

In fact, she didn't care what the old duke and those people thought of her, mainly because she couldn't swallow this breath.

She can do whatever she likes, why should she be humiliated by a slut for no reason?

"Miss, someone came to visit from outside the door and apologized to you by name." Lin De, the housekeeper, hurried upstairs, took off his hat and asked her for instructions.

When Anna heard this, she became angry, stared at him and shouted, "You insulted my daughter and still want to give me a piece of honey? Get that man out of my Mornington gate."

"If it's the little Duke of Clarence, please tell me where he came from and where he's going." Ivy said restrainedly, trying not to show her anger on her face.

However, Linde scratched his head in embarrassment, met Rachel's eyes, and then whispered: "It's Miss Clarence, she said she must apologize to you."

Since it was Alice, Ivy knew that she really had something to explain.Otherwise, they wouldn't have deliberately caught up from such a far place early in the morning.

Unexpectedly, when Ivy saw her when she went downstairs, she couldn't help being stunned.

Alice was almost disheveled, her goose-yellow skirt was splashed with mud, and there was a brown wooden suitcase piled up at her feet, as if she had come here in a hurry.

"Miss Ivy, I'm really sorry." As soon as Ivy's stunned eyes appeared in her sight, she immediately stepped forward, covered her chest and took a few breaths, "I really didn't expect father to be so Do. Although he has done a lot of excessive things in the past, but this time let the guests go home alone late at night, there must be no second host like this in the whole of Britain."

"This has nothing to do with you, you don't need to apologize for it." Although Ivy still had resentment in her heart, she still smiled at the innocent girl.

"No..." Alice shook her head, "I only found out about this after I returned to Mancasri Manor, and I heard from an old servant beside my father that a gentleman visited my father and slandered you .I don't know why that unknown person did it. But my father believed his story."

"But I don't think I've made any trouble with any gentleman."

Alice looked into her cornflower blue eyes, and at this moment, there was a whirlpool of suspicion, as if she had seen through her thoughts, looked directly at her and said, "Although I don't know who that villain is. But I promise you on my honor, it's definitely not Kevin Clarence."

The atmosphere was too tense, and Ivy laughed: "You are very sure of your brother."

Alice's expression was extremely serious, as if she was eager to restore her brother's reputation: "Although I spent my childhood in boarding schools, I know Kevin very well. After all, he is my brother with the same father and mother. He may be because of He is proud and talks about others, but he is a noble gentleman who has been pampered since he was a child and disdains to follow the vulgar, it is absolutely impossible to do slanderous things, please believe him."

"Actually, I don't care that much. If it wasn't for him, it would be great. The most important thing is that your father's attitude is really bad. It's hard for me to believe that a kind girl like you is her daughter."

As soon as the words fell, Ivy realized that the smoky crystal pupils of the girl opposite were staring at her closely.

"His tyranny and hypocrisy not only drove you away, but also drove me away from Mankasli. I have made up my mind to elope with Mr. Edgar, and take my mother's legacy to me, forever and ever Get rid of your father's control."

The news came too hastily, and Ivy couldn't help being surprised.

Noticing the look in her eyes, Alice nodded confidently: "Yes, I can no longer bear his restraint and terrible stubbornness, and if I don't escape from his control, I will soon marry Kent, whom he likes. Master Duke.

But I hadn't met my future husband at all before.Mr. Edgar went to find me at Southampton, and agreed to meet me at Sheffield station, and from there we went to Scotland together. "

Her throat sounded a little dry, and Ivy poured her a glass of water from the latte jug.

"If you need my help, I will take you on the train to Sheffield. I think you are not familiar with London."

"I really rarely go out, thank you for your help." She gulped down the water and wiped the corners of her lips.

"But are you sure you and he can support yourself in Scotland? I remember you saying that the gentleman's family is very burdened, and I'm afraid there will be consequences that you haven't considered."

"I've thought about all of this." Alice looked determined, "The money my mother left me is enough to settle down for a period of time, during which we will find enough jobs to support our family. Edgar has a law degree from Oxford, according to He understands that there is a shortage of relevant legal talents in the local area, and I believe he will get a position he likes soon."

After a pause, she added: "Besides, for love, I don't care about any trial and error costs."

Even if Ivy didn't quite agree with her words, she had to admire her courage.

She smiled respectfully at Alice, and handed her a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat on her face: "I think we have to leave quickly, after all, you are the Duchess of Clarence, and I'm afraid all of London will know about it soon. "

Alice nodded, and bent down to carry the suitcase: "I hurriedly packed up my things and left the manor to look for you this morning while everyone was sleeping. But I'm afraid that my father will know the news of my disappearance soon. I'm about to be sent all over England to find me. I must be out of London by twelve noon."

-

Ivy really didn't expect the speed of the old duke to be so fast, or the power of the Clarence family to be so powerful.

As soon as their carriage reached Oxford Street, they could already hear the sound of a group of police officers looking for Alice, like a pack of wolves in the forest.

"The duke gave orders that the lady must be found before sunset."

"To put it simply, where should we find Miss Alisette! How do we know where she will go inexplicably?"

"It is estimated that the young lady couldn't stand the duke's terrible restraint and ran away from home. According to my suggestion, put a few more people in the pier and station. I think she will definitely set foot in those places when she leaves London."

Seeing the sweat dripping from the forehead of the girl next to her, Ivy couldn't help but lift the curtain and told the driver: "Please hurry up as much as possible, we are in a hurry."

After getting an affirmative reply from the coachman, she clearly felt the acceleration of the horse's hoof.Although bumpy, the speed is enough to make people feel at ease.

Alice was already too nervous to speak. It seemed that everyone passing by the carriage was talking about herself, thinking that since she was born in a family with a golden spoon in her mouth like Clarence, she should accept the fate arranged by the family. The most outrageous thing in the world.

Listening to these gossips, Ivy really wanted to scold those who watched the fun for Alice.

"Miss, the station is here."

The coachman's loud voice came from the front. Ivy jumped out of the carriage first and helped Alice carry the box down. Seeing the dark group of people in front searching the passengers entering the platform one by one, she cursed in a low voice.

"damn it!"

"Don't worry, I'll take you to take a small path." Seeing Alice shrank back in fear, she repeatedly comforted her.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Alice whispered.

"Small matter, don't forget, I'm also the Countess of Mornington from Ireland, no matter how arrogant and domineering your father is, he won't be able to trouble me."

Ivy said nonchalantly, took her hand and walked towards a remote alley, when a low wall appeared in front of her.

She threw Alice's suitcase over the wall first, flipped it up neatly with hands and feet, stretched out her hand to Alice, who had never done this before and was a little timid, and motioned for her to grab it, "Don't be afraid, hold me tight."

Seeing her encouraging expression, Alice took her hand trustingly, climbed up with her strength, and finally landed on the ground together.

"Looks like you do this a lot," Alice joked.

"That's, I dare say, there aren't many boys in London who can play as wildly as I do." Ivy smiled and dragged her to the overcrowded platform.

Because the train was about to depart, the passengers were already jammed, so she pushed Alice in hard, and when she got on the train, she handed her the suitcase through the window.

"Take it, and take my blessings for a smooth journey."

Alice took it, lying on the window sill and beckoning to her, tears almost gushing from her eyes.

She stared at Ivy fixedly, unable to speak for a while.

The siren sounded by my ears had already sounded for a long time, and the train started slowly, and the whole carriage shook slowly.

"Ivy, wait a minute!"

Seeing this, Ivy hurriedly followed the train and approached her window sill.

The crowd heard her finally say: "Kevin will definitely find you, please be sure to conceal my whereabouts."
