? "The Roman ruler later tried to force them to change their minds, and later, he ordered them to be tortured..."

The childish voice of reading aloud echoed in the dark room, and the only source of light was the kerosene lamp like a firefly. The floating light from time to time made people drowsy. Yoshiko tilted his head and watched the little girl reciting seriously. Their beliefs, but the scene when they got her work schedule this morning recalled in their minds.

She got up early and went to the garden to help Mr. Ted water the flowers. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Mrs. Grace and Mrs. Mills standing by the window talking. .

"The postman comes to collect letters every Wednesday. I just checked the mailbox. He hasn't come this week. This letter should have been delivered to the newspaper five days ago." Mrs. Grace stared at Mrs. Mills for a moment, as if I didn't want to miss any expression on her face, and then slowly said, "It means that the employment advertisement was not published, so why did you come to her?"

"Oh, see, ma'am, that's what I was trying to explain when you opened the door..."

"In fact, we are just passing by and trying our luck. Such a mansion needs veterans like us." Mrs. Mills said sincerely, but Haozi caught her unnatural expression, and she wanted to say at first It's clearly not this, this person is hiding something, Haozi can tell, but Mrs. Grace didn't suspect it, at least she couldn't see it on the surface, only saw them talking a few words, and then found her who just came in, the topic suddenly changed Then, Mrs. Grace walked towards her.

A gust of fragrant wind blew, and the tall hostess passed her, took out a piece of paper from the locker behind her, and told her that this was the job assigned to her, it was a simple and surprising task list, She couldn't even believe it. This was not the price that was negotiated before. With Mrs. Egrace's character, she thought she would receive a full schedule.

But no, there are only a few words like "breakfast, accompany me" on it.

"Miss Haus, this is your work schedule. Prepare breakfast for us every day, and then watch Ann for me, let her concentrate on studying, and don't think about some troublesome pranks!"

"Of course ma'am, if it's my job...but don't you really need me to do something else? Like cleaning..."

"Mrs. Mills and Lydia will do those things, and I can see you're a man of culture, so help me with something else."

"You mean, governess?"

"Well, I don't think your level has reached that level yet!"

Good child black thread, is this contempt?This must be contempt, but even if it is the truth, is it really okay for you to say it directly like this!

Suddenly, as soon as her feet warmed up, she felt a soft mass beside her feet. She lowered her head, and the long-haired rabbit was squatting on the edge of her trousers, pulling and pulling from time to time, obviously trying to follow her trousers. seam up.

"You are a strange rabbit, the act of begging for a hug is just like that of a cat!" Mrs. Grace said mockingly.

Hello!Who is acting like a baby!Don't put a hat on me!The rabbit was thinking angrily, looking around randomly, but always floating upwards uncontrollably, but met Haozi's plain expression.

What...you ignore me...

A sense of loss was added to his heart, but he couldn't explain where the inexplicable gloom in his heart came from.She drooped her ears resentfully, turned around and left, but she didn't know that Haozi's gaze fell on him when he couldn't see, and she took it away only when she knew that he was nestling in the corner and gnawed on cucumbers one by one.

After confirming that the rabbit was not running around, Yoshiko took the piece of paper and asked the hostess carefully about the 'conspiracy' behind this overly simple worksheet.

Mrs. Grace didn't explain too much, she just left a sentence, "If you have the energy to do other things after dealing with Ann, then of course I don't mind you doing more work..." She said this The unpredictable look on Shi Shi's face made her panic and think that An would be a mischievous child. After all, the first impression the little girl left on her was too weird.

But the truth...

She returned to the music room she was in from her own thoughts, and An's mouth kept protruding one clear word after another.

This girl is very well-behaved, isn't she?She smiled slightly, but before she restrained herself, the door of the music room slammed and was pushed open from the outside. Haozi got up subconsciously, and saw Mrs. Grace walking towards them in a hurry with a pale face. The room was full of panic.

"Ann! What's the matter with you! Why are you crying?" Mrs. Grace, who rushed forward in three steps at a time, did not care about three or seven and covered her face with such a confusing sentence.cry?She looked at the person concerned in puzzlement, An's face was still pale from being frightened by her mother's sudden movement, and seeing her turn her eyes, she expressed that she didn't know with the same puzzled expression.

"Mum, I didn't cry!" Ann said, her delicate voice was distorted due to the barrier of the clothes, but it also made Mrs. Grace let go of her tightly hugged daughter. She looked up and down, Ann's His eyes were bright and bright, and there was no sign of crying at all.

She immediately looked at Haozi who was standing at the side, and after seeing Haozi shook her head, she muttered to herself, "How come... I heard it clearly... I am with Nicholas, if Ann is not crying, then who is crying... "

As she spoke, her suspicious eyes fixed on Haozi, which made it clear that she thought Haozi was bullying her daughter.

Haozi was about to prove her innocence when she saw Ann interrupted suddenly.

"It's Werther, it was Werther who was crying just now!"

"What Werther?" asked Mrs. Grace, and Yoshiko looked at her with the same strange look.

"Wett, a little boy, is a coward and cries all the time. He was here just now, Haos, didn't you see? It's there!" Ann pointed to somewhere in the music room with an innocent face.Haozi lowered her eyes inexplicably, the place An pointed at was right in front of her, only five steps away, even if she was blind, she would not fail to notice it.

Ann is lying!

Yoshiko is so sure, but she's not sure why she's lying.

"Miss Hauss?"

"..." Haozi struggled, not knowing what to do. One said that she heard crying, and the other said that she saw someone crying. The combination of these two clues fit so well, so logically, that there was a person crying. , the truth seems to be obvious. If someone who knows nothing is allowed to infer, I am afraid that the conclusion will be drawn soon, but these two people handed over the truth to the people who have been in it all the time but have neither heard nor seen it. It's up to her to make the decision, how weird it looks.

"What, Haosi! You don't believe me? You think I'm playing a prank, just like my mother?" Ann's voice was full of sharp sarcasm, piercing the eardrums.

Haozi looked up, and saw An's heavy wheezing, the terrible sound seemed to be squeezed out of her chest, which made people uncomfortable, but what was even more unbearable was the unconcealed resentment in her eyes, How could such a young child have such complicated eyes?

"Ann!" Mrs. Grace yelled sharply, blocking her asthmatic breathing, Ann sneered, and pointed to the corner behind the music room.

There was nothing there except a closed small door, but at the moment the small door was wide open, and the lock key hanging on the doorknob was shaking slightly, which proved that someone had just left there. Mrs. Lace's face was all pale, and she felt a chill on her back. They had been standing here, especially Haozi, who had never left this place. She never saw anyone other than the three of them. Appeared near here.

"Maybe, it's Lydia, she can't talk..." Haozi comforted Mrs. Grace in this way, and comforted herself.
