Chapter 56: The Truth

Gao Fei secretly applauded his girlfriend.

Comrade Xiao Jiang has made great progress. He has learned to use the ambush pen!

I have said this before. If I confess that I used a false identity to communicate with the male protagonist in the future, I will have reason to ask for the other party’s forgiveness.

It has to be said that women are all born drama queens!

The three of them took the hound to the backyard of the grocery store.

Tess seemed a little uneasy, so she found an excuse to get away from her parents, and followed Gao Fei and others at a short distance.

Gao Fei re-enabled "Detect Undead" and soon found the ghost baby's hiding place, a warehouse used to store firewood and sundries.

Jiang Feng waved his hand to stop him from entering the house, walked around to the back of the warehouse, and stopped under a fig tree.

Under the fruit tree, a small mound of earth was raised from the grave, and a bunch of withered narcissus was placed next to it.

Jiang Feng turned to look at Tess and asked calmly and seriously:

"Mrs. Grey, is the little baby buried under the fig tree your firstborn?"

"No...I don't know...it's not my fault!"

Tess was frightened by this sharp question and became confused and incoherent.

"Mrs. Gray, there is no point in covering up the matter now. If you still refuse to tell the truth, I will not be able to calm down the haunting ghost transformed from the resentment of the dead baby. Your whole family will never have peace because of this. Is this...

The result you want?"

Mrs. Gray was a woman with both rich emotions and fragile feelings. Faced with the nun's stern questioning, her will immediately collapsed. She covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.

"Lord, I've had enough! Merciful Sister, I want to confess to you... I want to tell the truth about all the sins I have committed... Yes, I killed my own flesh and blood..."

Tess cried and told her story.

It all started last spring.

That night, Tess's father, John d'Urberville, was spending time in the tavern and overheard someone mentioning that the current harbor master of Marina City had the same surname as him, his ancestral home was in the same province, and he was a noble baron.

The tavern owner asked Mr. d'Urberville if he recognized this noble gentleman.

At that time, Mr. Deborah was already so drunk that he could not help but boast.

Although he had never spoken a word to the baron in his life, he shamelessly claimed that this noble gentleman was a distant relative of his, and he kept in touch with him during the holidays!

With the help of alcohol, Mr. Deborah became addicted to his mouth, but afterwards he was treated as a laughing stock by the regular guests in the hotel.

Every time I came to the tavern, the waiter would shout in a strange tone: "Hey! Isn't this a relative of the Harbor Master's family, our distinguished Lord Deborah? Please come in, please come in!"

Mr. Germany was ridiculed by people, and while he was ashamed and annoyed, he even imagined: How wonderful it would be if he were really a relative of the Baron...

Things are always like this, it seems out of reach, but if you really want to do it, it may be easier than you think.

The Baron's surname is Deborah, and my surname is Deborb too. The ancestors of both families came from the same province. How can we guarantee that we are related?

Mr. d'Urberville inquired about his relatives, but he was disappointed. There was no evidence that his family was related to the baronet's family.

After all, Deb is a very common surname.

Mr. Deborah was still determined not to give up, feeling that aristocratic families valued bloodline genealogy far more than a small family like his own.

Maybe there is a detailed genealogy kept in the Baron's family, from which we can find the genetic relationship with our own family.

With this thought in mind, he discussed with his wife how he could step into the baronial family and become a member of this noble family, thereby improving his social status.

The couple discussed and discussed, and finally settled on their only daughter, Tess.

Gushe

Youth and beauty are the capital given by God. It is obvious that Tess has a better chance of climbing a high tree than the grocer and his wife.

Tess originally didn't want to do such a thing of following the crowd, but she couldn't bear the pressure from her parents, so she finally had to bite the bullet and visit the Baron's house.

She originally thought that aristocratic families had strict laws and wouldn't let a poor girl like her in shabby clothing enter the house.

If you are rejected, you have reason to go to your parents and persuade them to give up their unrealistic thoughts.

I don't know if it's luck or misfortune.

When Tess was wandering at the gate of the baron's manor, a carriage stopped beside her.

A handsome young man dressed fashionably jumped out of the carriage, greeted Tess politely with a smile, and asked her if she was hesitating at the gate of the manor. If she was in trouble, he might as well tell her, maybe he could help.

busy.

"It is my honor to have the opportunity to serve a beautiful lady like you."

Just these few polite words deeply touched the girl's heart.

At first, she thought the other party was a well-educated college student, so she told him her purpose.

"What a coincidence that your last name is Deb too!"

The young man smiled happily.

"My name is Alec d'Urberville, and the Baron is my father."

Tess never expected to meet the young master of the Baron family at the door, nor did she expect that he would be so kind and approachable. She couldn't help but panic and saluted him hurriedly.

"By the way, Tess, I think you should call me cousin, after all, we have the same last name!"

Alec said kindly.

What Tess originally thought was impossible was achieved by a very dramatic coincidence.

Alec not only recognized her as his cousin, but also invited her into his home, held her hand and visited this magnificent manor.

Tess seemed to be sleepwalking.

The daughter of a small bourgeois family would not dare to imagine such an adventure even in her sweet dreams.

In the days that followed, Tess, as Alec's cousin, frequently visited the d'Urberville Manor.

At first, she was on tenterhooks, fearing that she would be exposed.

Over time, I got used to it, and even felt that I was really a member of this noble family, Master Alec's cousin.

Now, she no longer visits the d'Urberville Manor due to pressure from her parents, but comes to have a tryst with a passion for love.

Yes, Tess has fallen in love and is deeply obsessed with her "cousin" Alec.

They only dated three times before she was completely smitten and gave up everything she had.

This sweet love lasted until the day Tess found out she was pregnant.

Cousin Alec had sworn to marry her more than once. However, the day after Tess revealed that she was pregnant, he changed his mind and ran away to live abroad alone.

Tess initially hoped that her cousin would write to her, but she waited for many days and never heard from her.

She had no choice but to go to the d'Urberville Manor to ask the Baroness about her cousin's current situation, but she was severely humiliated.

"What cousin? The d'Urbervilles don't have such poor relatives!"

Alec's mother turned her back on Tess and sent her servants to drive Tess out. She also said that she would not be allowed to visit the house in the future.
