Jing Jiaren immediately turned back and glanced at Ximen Longting——
As expected, Vic didn't lie, and there was no need to lie.
It turns out that it was really Fanny’s request to be buried in the well. But why?
Ximen Longting's eyes suddenly turned red. He bent down and grabbed the servant's collar with his long hand: "Why did she ask like this? You didn't lie to me?"
"How dare I... lie to you?"
"If you dare to lie, I will kill you without a body!" Ximen Longting grabbed her and roared, "Say it!"
"I heard that Mrs. 4 and the young master... who is now the master, met for the first time in a well."
"..."
"At that time, Mrs. 4 fell into a dry well. Master Ximen was passing by with a hunter. A hunted pheasant escaped to the mouth of the well and fell in. Only then did the master realize that there was someone in the well."
Ximen Longting's eyes narrowed, as if he was confirming the authenticity of the servant's words.
"I also heard it mentioned by several ladies, I don't dare to make it up!"
"Why is she in the well!?"
"Mrs. 4 went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and accidentally fell down. After the master saved Mrs. 4, Mrs. 4 was very grateful. It is said that she fell in love with the master at first sight..."
Fanny and Jane once lived in the small town of Werna, a beautiful, remote, paradise-like place.
It turns out that this is how Fanny and Ximen Fenglie met?
Jing Jiaren thought to herself, what a coincidence, Miss JANE also injured her foot and was saved by Mr. Ximen.
No wonder Fanny was so indignant at first——
She felt that she met Ximen Fenglie first, and even the encounter was similar, but she was snatched away by Miss JANE——
The same two women were rescued, but Fanny was thrown down on the spot and watched Master Ximen leave.
JANE was taken back to his castle by Mr. Ximen and took it as his own.
This is how a complicated relationship began.
Ximen Longting tightened his fingers and said, "That's it?"
"More than that," the servant said tremblingly, "Mrs. 4 admires the master very much and hopes to be buried at 13 Oaks so that she can look at the master."
"..."
"How can a dead person be buried in the castle? Of course her request is not allowed... Mrs. 4 probably knew it in her heart, so she came up with this idea and said that she didn't want a mausoleum, as long as a well was enough."
Fanny wants to be buried in the well——
Even in death, she would have to stay in this place where she had suffered so much humiliation during her lifetime, and still miss the man who had tortured her so much?!
Ximen Longting's hand suddenly opened, and the old servant fell back to the ground, his face pale and breathing heavily.
"Master, I tell the truth... you can ask other servants, I don't dare to lie."
The servant kowtowed on the ground and spoke broken English...
Fortunately, their churches are all in English, and everyone in Jing Jia understands them and can converse fluently.
13The main language spoken by the servants in Oak Tree is English, while Master Ximen’s personal servants can all speak Chinese.
"Ximen Longting, it should be real." Jing Jiaren said softly, "Didn't you say that when mother was buried, she was sealed in a special crystal coffin and buried?"
"..."
"If you want to humiliate her, there is no need to hold a funeral ceremony."
It's even impossible to even erect a monument.
Ximen Longting's face was complicated——
With Fanny's character, this seems like a request she would make. Love her until death.
He could never understand why Ximen Fenglie was so ruthless and callous!
