"But we didn't gain anything at all in Jiangshenyuan, because Elizabeth's child died of self-immolation like Edwin, so she got along well with your grandmother. She heard that we still had children waiting for treatment, and she passed on her family's
Medical books were given to us," Karasuma Hideya continued. "Those books contain many herbal formulas, some of which helped my grandfather relieve the pain caused by illness and physical weakness, making him less irritable than before.
Perhaps it also helped him extend his life for a period of time. When Rhodes grew up, he became very interested in those books and began to read them as children's picture books. Although he later learned about the development of Western medicine,
He also did not give up studying those herbal books, and some of the medicines he developed through the combination of the two really helped him relieve the pain caused by many diseases."
"When I went to the UK last time, I found the basement where Uncle Rhodes used to do research, and also found some scattered notes," Chi Feichi said, "but the research materials there had been moved away long ago..."
"After both Rod and Neil passed away, no one will go to that underground research laboratory," Hideya Karasuma said slowly, "I took those materials out of the basement and handed them over to some trustworthy scientists and drugs from the outside world.
Scientists asked them to continue their research. Among them, there are drugs that can delay the onset of genetic diseases. However, the properties of that drug have not been very stable. It was not until eighteen years ago that the drug was finally able to exert its effects stably. At least it would not
It made the condition of the user worse, so I had people secretly feed you that medicine. You are a child with good luck. If you can take a drug with stable effects before the age of five, it doesn’t count.
Late."
Chi Feichi: "..."
Speaking of which, does the meaning of the name "Fei Chi" mean "I hope it won't be too late"?
Putting the association of the name aside, Chi Feichi asked another question in his mind, "I heard my mother say that when my grandmother was twelve years old, Baron Field went to Japan, took my grandmother to England and adopted her.
,Does this matter have anything to do with the Karasuma family?"
"There is some connection, but not much, cough..." Karasuma Hideya coughed lightly, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. After moistening his throat, he looked up at Chi Feichi again, with a tinge in his eyes.
With a hint of smile, "Speaking of your grandmother's life experience, don't you think the relationship between the British royal family and the Field family has always been very good?"
Chi Feichi thought carefully about the friendly attitude of the British royal family towards Field and came up with a guess, "Is my grandmother...an illegitimate daughter?"
In fact, at the very beginning, he suspected that his grandmother was the key person in the connection between Feldega and the Karasuma family.
Because there was something wrong with everything about Baron Field's adoption of his grandmother.
Baron Field has his own children and does not need to adopt other children. Even Baron Field wants to adopt a little girl for his family. As a British baron, what kind of child can't be found in the UK? The nearest one.
Isn't it bad to adopt a child? Why should we suddenly travel across the ocean to Japan to find a little girl to take back and adopt?
The previous noisy shareholders of the Field Group were all distant relatives of the Baron. Judging from the attitudes of those people, it was clear that those people could not understand why Baron Field did what he did.
He had previously imagined that Baron Field would go to Japan to attend a banquet hosted by a wealthy man, and meet his grandmother at the banquet before deciding to adopt his grandmother. This was actually the work of the Karasuma family. Baron Field
They may have reached some kind of deal with the Karasuma family, or they may be under the control of the Karasuma family...
Although he was not sure whether the Karasuma family had the ability to control a baron living on the other side of the ocean, at the hypothetical stage, he could boldly imagine it.
If this is the case, it is no coincidence that the Field family is involved with the organization. The two parties may have known each other for a long time.
But later he learned more information. When sorting out clues, he tried to restore the living conditions of the Field family back then, and soon discovered something interesting.
What were the members of the Field family doing in the twenty or thirty years before and after his mother's birth?
First of all, Rhodes had been staying at home doing research at that time.
Rhodes suffers from porphyria and cannot move outside like a normal person. The Rhodes described by his mother is also a weirdo who never goes out. There are also Rhodes' notes in the basement, which contain traces of experiments left by Rhodes.
In other words, the fact that Rhodes stayed at home to do research during those years can be supported by many sources.
Next is Neil.
Neil has albinism. Although he is not able to be exposed to the sun like Rod, he doesn't seem to like to go out. In Rod's notes, it was mentioned that Neil likes to do mechanical research, and when his mother talked about Neil
, it seems that he also believes that this brother is a homebody who likes to stay at home. There is no contradiction in everyone's opinions.
Then there's Mitchell.
Although Mitchell is blind, he is more active than Neil and Rod.
According to his mother, Mitchell seemed to be at home often, but Rhodes' notes mentioned that Mitchell was responsible for research funding matters.
Mitchell doesn't seem to be interested in research. It's okay to help his brothers mobilize and manage research funds. There is no need to travel out frequently to deal with research funds, and it doesn't take much time to handle, so his mother thinks that Mitchell
It is reasonable not to go out often.
Then came his maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother.
His grandmother was worried about the affairs of the Field Group at that time. This was not only the consensus among the members of the Field family, but also outsiders could testify.
As for his grandfather, his mother told him that his father was helping his mother. But the amazing thing is that his mother often said that your grandmother was very hard back then, but she never said that your grandfather and grandmother were very hardworking.
"It's very hard." Maybe even his mother didn't notice this problem - his mother only lamented that his grandmother worked hard back then. Could it be because his mother had never seen his grandfather busy with the affairs of the Field Group?
Moreover, when his mother came into contact with the affairs of the Field Group, most of the time she was led and guided by his maternal grandmother. For example, when he went to the United States to invest and met Thomas Schindler, Hiroki Sawada's adoptive father, his mother could say
He never told what he was doing or what his mother was doing, but he never said what his father was doing.
Obviously, both parents told their daughter, "We both work hard at Field Group," but when it came to matters related to Field Group, the existence of "father" magically disappeared, and the daughter seemed to only see her mother working.
Is it because the father is too incompetent and can only do unimportant tasks, so he is ignored by his daughter?
It is indeed possible, but his mother did not ignore her father, and would also tell him, "Your grandfather is helping my grandmother." With his mother's character of valuing family members, even if his grandfather usually only helps, he would always
Mom will also know that it is not easy to deal with trivial chores. She will not completely ignore her father. Most likely she will say something like, 'Thanks to your grandfather for taking care of those things, we saved a lot of things.'
In other words, his mother didn't ignore his father, she just couldn't tell what his father did.
In addition, his grandfather did not seem to have much impression on the shareholders of the Field Group. Those people focused on his grandmother. The most noticeable thing about his grandfather seemed to be just the name of Field's son-in-law, who himself seemed to be a
A person who is extremely mediocre.
But to some people, his grandfather was not completely absent.
Every time Jane mentioned his maternal grandparents, he never ignored his grandfather. In other words, when Jane was helping the Field family do some shady things, it was his grandfather who often gave Jane instructions.
The other person is his cheap dad, Shinnosuke Ike.
Every time his father mentioned his grandfather and grandmother, he never ignored his grandfather. Even in his father's opinion, his grandmother seemed to be more talkative. When it came to his grandfather, what Lao Chi mentioned was - in Western terms
The sword is very powerful, and he often drags me into duels with Western swords.
There are few people that his father finds difficult to deal with and must be treated with caution. His grandfather is probably one of them. Although this may be due to his father-in-law's suppression of his son-in-law's identity, his father is a very stable person.
Man, if his grandfather is just an old man with a weird temper and likes to show off his face, his father will definitely have the patience to coax him well, and then say to him, "Your grandfather has a weird temper, but he is a good person" without revealing it.
That helpless feeling of 'I suspect he is targeting me, but I can't help it'.
Judging from these things, his grandfather was not the kind of mediocre person who could only play support, and he also had a lot of say in the family. However, such a person did not seem to leave any impression on outsiders, which made him unable to help himself.
to think——
Did his grandfather deliberately not want to attract attention? His grandfather seemed to be very busy and was often not at home when his mother was young. However, no one said what his grandfather did for the Field Group. So, during this period, his grandfather
What on earth is he doing? Could his grandfather be the key figure in the organization's connection with the Field family?
Moreover, the name 'Hideya' is very Japanese. His grandfather should have come from Japan like his grandmother. Since he suspected that his grandmother had some kind of relationship with the Karasuma family before she appeared in England, he would naturally also suspect that his grandfather had long been with the Karasuma family.
He has connections with the Karasuma family, and even thinks that his grandfather is more suspicious because of his abnormality.
It was just that he had never understood why Baron Field suddenly went to Japan to adopt his grandmother, so he could not determine which of the two people was the key to the connection between the Field family and the Karasuma family.
Now hearing his grandfather mention the British royal family's attitude towards the Field family, he suddenly thought of another possibility -
Baron Field did not reach a deal with the Karasuma family or a certain family in Japan before going to Japan to adopt his grandmother. Instead, he was entrusted by a member of the British royal family to help them adopt his grandmother in Japan. His grandmother was probably
She is the illegitimate daughter of a member of the royal family.
In this case, it makes sense that Baron Field suddenly went to Japan to adopt a little girl and treated her as his own daughter.
