Grandma was slightly surprised, paused for a few seconds and asked: "Dragon and phoenix twins? I've never heard of it..."
Sure enough, grandma knew nothing.
"I only know that he died because of that person in the end!"
That person?
Resentment appeared in the grandmother's eyes, which was exactly the same as when Jing Jiaren mentioned Ximen Fenglie...
Jing Jiaren asked cautiously: "Grandma, are you talking about Ximen Fenglie?"
Grandma said excitedly: "Don't mention his name, I don't want to mention it."
Jing Jia and Leng Lintian looked at each other, she pursed her lips and said, "Grandma, Miss Jane is actually not dead. This is the reason why we came back to investigate this time."
I'm sorry, grandma, for deceiving you.
Jing Jiaren apologized in her heart——
The grandmother's expression changed as expected: "JANE is not dead?"
"But you have to tell us something and don't hide anything." Intuitively, grandma still knew something hidden.
It's just that the past is too painful to look back on, so she doesn't want to think about it and mention it.
Grandma looked at Leng Lintian: "ARON, is this true? JANE is not dead yet?"
Leng Lintian's eyes were deep, and he nodded solemnly when he met Jing Jia's guilty look.
"You are looking for me, I really don't know much."
"It doesn't matter, tell me as much as you know."
Next, grandma narrated eloquently——
20 years ago, a wealthy family suddenly came to this small town. It was said that he was a wealthy duke.
Title is a hierarchical system of enfeoffed nobles in European feudal monarchies. It first appeared in the Middle Ages and is still used in some modern countries. Generally, the level of enfeoffed titles is determined by the amount of land occupied.
It can be mainly divided into five levels: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron.
Among the nobility, the Duke is the first level and has the highest status.
There was an explosion in the town, and unmarried girls wanted to seduce the former Duke...
It is said that the Duke was only 17 years old. Because he was born with a bad heart, he needed a quiet place to rest his body.
The small town of Vinard has pleasant scenery, fresh air and quiet style, making it a good place for rest.
This young Duke is the 17-year-old Ximen Fenglie.
Jing Jiaren was a little fascinated and asked, "What happened next?"
"Later, in order to welcome the Duke's visit, the town held a welcome banquet..."
Grandma said that at that time, people's social interactions were mainly based on banquets, where everyone danced, drank, and talked freely, which was the best way to get closer to each other.
In fact, everyone wants to cling to Ximen Fenglie... and be favored by him.
"Miss Jane met him at the welcome party?"
Grandma shook her head and said: "He is very arrogant, and naturally he disdains to participate in this - a vulgar banquet for him - although we use the most generous hospitality."
Jing Jiaren remembered what JANE had described in her diary... He was an arrogant guy.
Ximen Fenglie is really arrogant. The whole town invited him, but they gave him a cold shoulder.
"I invited him many times, but he didn't show up. Gradually everyone's enthusiasm faded..." Grandma tried her best to recall.
One day, JANE was reading a book on the hillside and looking after the sheep at the foot of the mountain. A strong wind blew her hat away, and she ran to chase it into the woods behind the hillside.
Ximen Fenglie was in a good mood that day and went hunting in the forest with his hunting dogs.
JANE's rash intrusion caused the hunting dogs to attack her, and she was bitten on her left leg.
