Chapter 196 This family seems to have a secret

The exquisitely carved wooden door is painted with black paint, and the door frame is inlaid with metal. When you walk in, you can see the beautiful floor. The inside of the house is so luxurious that it seems to be glowing, and there are high-end furniture and decorations everywhere.

However, most of the chairs in this house were inlaid with iron sheets, and they looked similar to the chairs in the house yesterday. Werther looked carefully and found that they were also made of stone.

"It's actually made of stone and iron." Werther said to himself in surprise.

Mr. Saber looked at him doubtfully: "Your Highness, what do you mean, what do you call it?"

Werther looked at him and explained: "Oh, that's the case. Yesterday I rescued Henry in your former house, and he was injured by such a heavy chair."

"It turns out that the child was hit by a chair!" Only then did Henry's family members notice that Henry's movements were abnormal.

"Poor Henry." Mr. Saber frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "It seems that such a chair is not safe for a naughty child like my son. By the way, Henry, where were you injured?

"

Henry looked pitiful, pointed to his shoulders and ankles and said, "These are the two places. Fortunately, you didn't touch my injured part just now, otherwise I would have died of pain here."

"How pitiful." Mrs. Saber looked at her son's injuries carefully and said distressedly, "Why are you so stupid? You are still hit by a chair at the age of eighteen."

After hearing this, Henry bent his arms in front of him and immediately defended loudly: "It's not because you were mean to me yesterday. I ran to my old house in a moment of sadness. I was so sad that I couldn't stand still and knocked over the chair."

"Then you should be careful in the future." Mr. Saber told him, "Our chairs are like this. If you get injured again because of the chairs, we will have to replace them."

"Then why do you use chairs made of such stone?" Witte couldn't help but ask.

"Alas!" Mr. Saber sighed, "It's not because these children like to destroy furniture too much. They have smashed all the ordinary chairs."

"So that's it, haha~" Werther laughed awkwardly.

"Your Highness, the lord, and the gentleman who is following you, please come to the dining room here. It's already past eleven o'clock, and my chef has already started preparing lunch. My wife will also prepare some desserts later."

The dining room looks very spacious. There are not only two rows of lamps, but also many candles on the table.

Wile couldn't help but open his eyes wide and said in surprise: "It's so bright here!"

Mr. Saber smiled: "I just asked the servant to prepare this. The light here is a bit dark. I hope His Highness can dine in a bright place, so that he will feel better."

"But, this is too bright, aren't you afraid of hurting your eyes?" Wile rubbed his eyes, "I'm usually used to the light in the castle, but when I suddenly came to such a bright place, my eyes were a little uncomfortable for a while. My Highness must have

I’m not used to such a bright place. These lamps are enough.”

"Ah, I'm so sorry, Your Highness, I will take these candles away now." Mr. Thrab said with a smile.

"Well, it's true that my eyes feel a little uncomfortable. But thank you for your kindness." Werther said with a smile, and then he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, sir, where are your sons-in-law?"

, they didn’t come?”

"Oh, my son-in-law!" Mr. Saber was about to say something, when his eldest daughter stepped on his shoe and stared at him fiercely.

"Ah!" He shouted, stretched out his hand to support the table, and turned to look at her, "What's wrong with you?"

His eldest daughter pursed her lips tightly and shook her head slightly, her eyes seeming to hint at something. He scratched his hair, then smiled at Werther and said, "Your Highness, please sit down."

Werther noticed their expressions and was very puzzled. There must be something strange about his sons-in-law.

He looked at Henry next to him. Henry looked at him blankly and shook his head: "Your Highness, I don't know what happened to my father and eldest sister. But to be honest, I have been going to school in Yeshi Town these years.

Because of this, I have never met my brothers-in-law until now."

Werther thought to himself that it seemed that Mr. Thrab almost let something slip just now. It might be that his eldest daughter didn't want others to know about their family, or that there might be some secret in the family.

At this time, the second daughter of the Saber family came over carrying a tray with some cups filled with drinks. She smiled and placed the cups one by one in front of everyone. When she arrived at Werther, she said enthusiastically: "Your Highness, Lord

, this is the juice we squeezed from the fruits in our yard, it’s delicious, you can try it.”

"Thank you." Werther drank up all the juice in the cup. He was already thirsty and felt better.

He asked doubtfully: "I heard from Henry that all three of your sisters are married?"

"Yes, Your Highness." The second daughter stood beside him and said, "The three of us got married a few years ago. Coincidentally, we all married in towns far away. Although we are still in Duck City, we are not far away.

It’s not close, it’s dozens of kilometers away from Yemu Town.”

"That's a coincidence. What about your husbands? Didn't they come?" Werther accidentally asked this question again.

He regretted it as soon as he said it. After all, Mr. Saber and his eldest daughter had not planned to mention this matter just now. Asking him now might make the other party feel embarrassed.

The second daughter did show an unnatural expression, pursed her lips, and looked down at the table, as if she didn't want to say anything.

He was just about to talk about other topics to break the awkward atmosphere, but unexpectedly Wile suddenly asked: "Why don't you mention your son-in-law? Why is it such a coincidence that they don't come?"

Henry also asked curiously: "Yeah, I haven't seen them until now. Do they really exist?"

The second daughter's face suddenly changed, and then she quickly regained her composure and said, "Henry, what are you kidding about? If your brother-in-law doesn't exist, then who are we marrying? In fact, it's like this,

Someone came to tell me just now that they are very busy and have no time to come to my house recently."

"It's such a coincidence that none of the three sons-in-law can come!" Wile's eyes widened in surprise, "Aren't they also three brothers? They have family matters so they can't come?"

The second daughter simply smiled and left with the tray.

Werther looked at the strange expressions of the three sisters and became even more confused, but this was their family's private matter and he would not interfere. It was just that Henry and Wile kept chatting about it.

"When my three sisters got married, my family didn't tell me. It wasn't until I came home from vacation one day and my three sisters were nowhere to be seen that my parents told me that they were married." Henry looked suspicious.

Confused, "Tell me, why?"

Wiler looked at him with his chin in his hands and said in a calm voice: "I don't even know that you are their biological brother. How could I, an outsider, know about it? However, do you know the situation of your brothers-in-law?"

"Apart from knowing that they are all from minor aristocrats, I don't know anything else." Henry shook his head, "Every time I ask my parents, they look like they don't want to ask."

Werther listened to their chat, and then looked at Mr. Saber who was sitting not far away. He saw an embarrassed look on his face. It was obvious that he did not want his son to talk to Wile about this.

He stood up, walked over, patted Henry on the head, and scolded softly: "You kid, don't talk so much. Aren't you good at making desserts? Go and help in the kitchen."

"Father, my mother and sisters have already done it, so there is nothing left for me to do." Henry rolled his eyes, "You have this time to talk nonsense with me, why not pour the lord another glass of juice? Look at the lord's cup.

All empty."

After hearing this, Mr. Saber immediately became angry, grabbed his ears and yelled: "How dare you talk to me like this, do you want to be beaten?"

At this time, Henry suddenly covered his shoulders and said, "I was wrong, father, don't be angry, I'm still injured!"

Mr. Saber suddenly remembered this matter, and could only hold back his efforts, let go of him, looked at Werther again, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, this silly son of mine made you laugh."

"It doesn't matter." Werther waved his hand and said, "I think he is a very interesting person."

"Your Highness, let me pour you a glass of juice first." He picked up the cup in front of Werther and said.

"Thank you." Werther smiled and nodded.

When Mr. Thrab left, there happened to be only Werther, Wile, and Henry left in the dining room.

Henry gently pulled both of their sleeves, and they looked at him at the same time.

"Your Highness, Wile, let me tell you something again. I heard from my neighbor that my three sisters left home by carriage on the same day and went to their husband's house."

"What's so strange about that?" Wile asked doubtfully.

"And the neighbors did not attend the sisters' wedding. They suddenly learned that they left home together." Henry explained, "This shows that they probably got married on the same day."

"Your guess is definitely wrong." Wile put his hands behind his head, looked at him expressionlessly, and said, "There are enough coincidences about them, how could they marry on the same day by such a coincidence?

people."

"It's really possible." Henry insisted on his idea, "After all, they have been in tune with each other since they were children."

"Impossible~" Wile waved his hand at him and frowned, "If you say they are married to the same person, then I can still believe it."

Hearing this, Werther and Henry's bodies shook slightly, and they said in unison: "Marry someone!"

Wile also suddenly felt that his guess was reasonable.

While they were sitting in their seats in a daze, they heard a loud noise outside, so they curiously went out to see what was going on.

When I walked near the yard, I saw a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat rushing into the yard. This man was riding a horse. In front of him were many iron buckets rolling down, and the water in the iron buckets also flowed out.

It turns out that the noise just now was the sound of a metal bucket falling, they thought to themselves.
