"So Brother Werther is so far-sighted." Margery clasped her hands under her chin and looked at Werther with eyes full of admiration.
Lina looked at him in shock, her face starting to turn red.
Seeing the two of them like this, Werther felt a little embarrassed. He touched the back of his head with his hand and said with an embarrassed smile: "Haha, since we are now being targeted by the Dark family, we must be more careful."
Linna's expression suddenly returned to calmness, and reminded: "What should we do about the portrait?"
Werther walked back and forth in front of the dining table, thinking as he said: "Now that the portrait has been torn off by Mrs. Ai Geli's servants, plus the clues brought by the people this morning, it can be confirmed that Bonnie's fiancé was indeed killed by Dark."
The family members arrested her. And Bonnie’s fiancé looks too much like Taylor, who framed me last time.”
"So what are you going to do?" Lena asked.
"I want to go find Mrs. Alice today and ask her."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Margaery came up to him, clasped her hands next to her cheeks, and tilted her head slightly.
"Well, are you going too?" Werther felt a little frightened, but tried his best to stay calm, frowned, and said with a wry smile, "I go because I have something important to ask her. If you go, you might let her know."
We can't talk."
Margery pouted depressedly, stood motionless at the door of the dining room with her hands on her hips.
Werther broke into a cold sweat and said softly: "You haven't had breakfast yet. Come and have dinner with me quickly."
"If you don't promise me, I will stand here and not leave. You can either go and continue eating breakfast and then be trapped here by me, or promise me to go to your aunt's house with you. Until then, the two of us will eat happily.
breakfast."
After saying that, she opened her arms and stood in front of Werther, showing a look that would not let him leave.
"Don't be like this." Werther started to sweat more and more, and quickly asked Lina for help, "Please help me persuade her."
Lina put her palms in front of her mouth, yawned, and said slowly: "I'm very sleepy now. I have to go to sleep. You can figure it out yourself."
After saying that, she left here and walked to her bedroom.
"Huh? No!" Werther scratched his hair in distress and thought to himself, without Lina taking Margaery away, then I can only turn to York for help.
His eyes were rolling around wildly, which was clearly seen by Margaery. The corner of her mouth tilted to the right, she lowered her head slightly, and looked upward hard, with a few cold gleams coming out.
Werther shuddered, swallowed, and immediately shouted: "York!"
No one came after a few seconds, and still no one came after half a minute.
"Where did he go?" Werther asked Margery in confusion, "Did you take him away?"
"He went to chop wood early in the morning, and he must be on his way back now." Margery smiled sinisterly, "And even if he comes back, he will repair the wall outside the castle."
Werther said helplessly: "Do you think I don't have the ability to deal with you? It's just that I can't bear to do anything to you. If I really push you away, you will probably be injured, and I will have another bully then."
Bad reputation for kids.”
"Of course I know this, otherwise how could I dare to stand in front of you." Margaery said proudly.
"Hey, hey, you've gone too far." Werther spread his hands helplessly, "You are obviously taking advantage of my mentality that I can't do anything to you."
"So what, as long as I can go to my aunt's house with you, I'll be happy.
"
"Don't you usually go there yourself?" Werther put his right hand on his forehead, sighed, and said, "She is your relative after all, so she shouldn't hurt you. You don't have to be afraid of her at all."
"Pfft~" Margaery suddenly laughed and said, "Who says I'm afraid of her? The reason why I don't usually go to her is because she has done a lot of bad things, which I can't bear, especially when she
I want to hurt you many times."
"Then why do you have to come with me?" Werther was puzzled.
"Oh!" Margery stamped her foot shyly, even waking up Zhizhi, "Don't you know, it's because we are childhood sweethearts."
"Stop talking about childhood sweethearts." Werther spread his hands and said, "Before last autumn, the two of us had met no more than ten times."
"That can be considered as knowing each other since childhood." Margery became even more angry and pursed her lips even higher, "You can't forget this friendship."
Zhizhi looked at the two of them in confusion, his ears wagging constantly, and finally he threw himself into Margaery's arms, rubbing against her affectionately.
"Haha, why are you so naughty~" Margery's heart was melted by Zhizhi's cuteness, and she hugged it happily, forgetting Werther's existence for a moment.
Werther took the opportunity to leave here and breathed a sigh of relief after running out of the castle. He said to himself: "I have got rid of her. She is really difficult to deal with. Although she is a good person, she keeps pestering me like this.
It would bother me."
In order to prevent Margery from catching up, Werther quickly ran to a deserted place and used magic to move himself behind Mrs. Agnes' house.
"Ha~ha~" he gasped, "running fast for a while and then using magic again, this is really tiring."
He walked around the house and walked to the front door. He saw the housekeeper cleaning the door, so he stepped forward and asked, "I'm here to see Mrs. Agnes."
"Ah, it's His Royal Highness the eldest prince!" The housekeeper looked at him in surprise, "What a rare visitor."
"Is Mrs. Agnes here?" he asked.
"Your Highness, if you are here to see our wife, it is really unfortunate. She has just gone to the store and brought her maid with her." The butler said, "If you are willing, you can wait inside.
She will be back in about half an hour, leaving the maid to look after the store alone."
Werther didn't want to wait at Mrs. Agnes's house because it would embarrass him. He looked at the housekeeper and thought, he must also know what happened early this morning, so he might as well ask him.
"I want to ask you..." Before Werther could finish his words, he suddenly thought that since the other servants were doing it quietly, it meant that Mrs. Agnes didn't want others to know about it, so as a housekeeper, he was more
Won't tell anyone.
"What's the matter, Your Highness?" the butler stared at him and asked.
Werther replied: "Nothing, is your wife in the dessert shop in Daybreak Town now?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Thank you for telling me this, I'll go find her now." Werther smiled softly, turned and left.
He quickly walked to the dessert shop. Although there were not many customers today, there were at least a few customers. They seemed to be coming from a neighboring town and driving a carriage.
In addition to those customers, there were also Mrs. Alice and her maid.
"It seems like your business here is better." Werther walked in and said.
Mrs. Agnes looked at him with wide eyes, and was so surprised that she couldn't speak. It took a long time before she came back to her senses and said, "Why are you here?"
After seeing the guests leaving, Werther stepped forward
, asked in a low voice: "Last night, your servant tore off all the portraits?"
Upon hearing this, her eyelids trembled slightly, seeming a little nervous.
"I very much know why you did that. Is it to protect me and other people in the castle?" Witte then asked, "Also, is that person Taylor?"
"Don't ask, I won't tell you anything." Mrs. Agnes turned around and sat, trying not to look at Werther, looking very nervous.
Werther looked at the maid again. Although her expression was normal, it was abnormal to be too calm.
"Since you reacted like this, then the person in the portrait is Taylor?" he asked.
"What do you want to do?" Mrs. Agnes looked at him angrily, "I no longer want to go against you, why are you still asking questions?"
Werther was startled by her ferocious expression. He trembled slightly above his shoulders, his hair swayed, and his brown eyes were full of doubts.
"Stop pestering me and asking such strange questions! I hope we don't mess with each other in the future, and I won't harm you again, but you don't come to me either!" She looked extremely angry, which was a bit unreasonable.
"Why did Taylor fall into your hands?" Werther continued to ask, "He helped you frame me at first. Later, his frame failed, so he was captured by people sent by Duke Dark. Isn't that right?
?”
"No!" Mrs. Agnes said immediately, panting heavily at the same time. She stood up from the chair, walked a few steps towards him, pointed her finger at the door, and cursed angrily, "You ungrateful thing, I'm sorry for you.
You are no longer a threat, and my son is no match for you, so why are you still making things difficult for me?"
At this time, the maid wearing a gold ribbon stood behind Mrs. Agnes, and her expression could not be seen at all.
At this time, although Mrs. Agnes said fierce words, her expression was extremely sad, and there were some tears in her eyes.
Such a contrast made Werther immediately understand that what she just said was just for the maid to listen to, and she did not want to say it herself. Perhaps the maid even said that all the servants no longer regarded her as their master, and their current purpose was just to
Duke Duke watched Mrs. Agnes to prevent her from doing anything detrimental to the Duck family.
Thinking of this, Werther couldn't help but shudder. In this case, there is nothing he can ask if he stays here. It is better to go back first and find a way to inquire later, he thought to himself.
"Madam, since you don't want to tell me, then I'm leaving. We'll talk again when we have a chance later." Werther turned and left.
The maid wearing a gold ribbon walked up to Mrs. Agnes and asked: "Madam, when you asked us to tear down the portrait early this morning, we asked you why you did this. You said it was to prevent the eldest prince from finding Taylor.
Are you telling the truth?"
"What do you mean?" She turned her head and looked at the maid.
"I just want to know, do you want to help Duke Dark or the eldest prince?" The maid's eyes were very sharp.
"What are you talking about? How could I help that guy Werther?"
The maid rolled her eyes and said: "Originally, I thought you asked us to tear down the portrait because of Duke Duck, but now I suspect that you asked us to tear down the portrait to prevent the eldest prince from being hated by Duke Duck even more. So,
I will inform Duke Dak about the eldest prince’s search for Taylor.”
She easily guessed Mrs. Alice's purpose.
"You actually threatened me like this!" Mrs. Agnes looked at her angrily.
