Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees.

Chapter 62 Woman, you succeeded in intriguing me

Fuso, Kyoto, Nanjia.

In an old house with an ancient style that covers an area of ​​several hectares, an old man is standing in the corridor. His hair is slightly grizzled and neatly erected. He is wearing a gray kimono. The word family pattern.

Holding a handful of fish feed in hand, the koi fish flicked their tails to defend the pond and compete for food.

The old man's brows are tough, and he has cultivated an air of calmness and prestige after being in a superior position for a long time. He opened his mouth with a mellow voice: "She hasn't admitted her mistake yet?"

"Yes...Miss has been locked in the attic for three days and is still on a hunger strike."

"I really don't know how to flatter you." Nan Shihui said coldly, clenched the bait in his hand, leaked it from between his fingers and sprinkled it on the surface of the pool: "Yayan...your daughter is a little too lacking in discipline. "

The middle-aged man next to him lowered his head and dared not say a word.

"However, it's just an outside species, and it can't be corrected after several years." The old man lowered his eyes and stared at the koi in the pond. Inside, there was an obviously thin koi that couldn't compete for food and was pushed into a corner. : "I'd like to see... how long she can last, and ask someone to bring some water to her, watch it, don't let her die... she is still useful."

"Yes." The middle-aged man held his breath.

"No matter what, her surname is Nan now. Since she has eaten the food of the Nan family, lived in the house of the Nan family, and shed the blood of the Nan family, she has to do her best for the Nan family. This is the only thing she can do. Something." Nan Shihui glanced at his son: "Go and persuade her, as long as she is willing to bow her head and apologize, I can forgive her one more time... Otherwise, it's not just a matter of suffering."

He sprinkled a handful of bait and let the koi scramble and roll in the pond water. One koi was squeezed out of the pond and landed on the pebbles by the pond, jumping with difficulty.

Nan Yayan bent over and sent off Nan Shihui, the head of the Nan family, as if sending off a leader.

He straightened up, a little dizzy, and called a servant at home on the way: "Go and bring some water to Mahiru."

The maid said in surprise: "Just bring some water? The lady hasn't eaten for three days..."

"Just bring some water." Nan Yayan said, took out a small bag from his pocket and handed it to the servant, emphasizing loudly: "Just bring some water, understand?"

"...Yes." She understood.

Minami Masahiko was about to walk out.

"Aren't you going to see the lady yourself?"

"... What's the use of going away?" The middle-aged man shook his head, sighed bitterly, and walked away. Compared with Nan Shihui, who was over seventy and still as strong as a tiger and a bear, he was thin and thin. Like a sick cat.

The maid brought the water to the attic and walked up. Through a wooden cage, she could see the increasingly haggard face of the girl inside.

She was kneeling on the ground, and she was already very weak after not eating for several days, but her sitting posture was still correct, and her temperament became more prominent.

Anyone who sees it will feel from the bottom of their hearts that this is a lady from a famous family.

She is indeed a lady from a famous family...in the eyes of people outside the Nan family.

Seemingly hearing some voice, the girl didn't open her eyes, but asked calmly, "Is it Ah Zi?"

The maid put down the water glass in her hand: "Miss, drink some water... I feel very distressed seeing you ruining your body like this."

"Who asked you to bring the water?" Mahiru did not answer, but asked, "Is it the head of the house?"

"……Um."

"Then I won't drink."

"Miss, even if you don't want to agree, you don't have to spoil yourself like this."

"I know it's stupid, but it's also a means of resistance I can choose." Mahiru said calmly: "Besides, what else can I do? Just let it go and become a surrogate bride? This is not the result I want... ...If I drink this bowl of water, it will represent a compromise, and I have no room for compromise now."

The maid was very anxious, she whispered: "You drink a little, and no one will notice if you take a sip."

Mahiru shook his head, how could such a cleverness be useful?
There is no guard here, but there must be invisible eyes. As long as you compromise or get lucky, you will be seen through.

Trying to play tricks with someone more than three times your age is definitely smug.

"Miss, please at least hold my hand, I will feel the pulse." Ah Zi said again.

This time Mahiru didn't continue to insist, she stretched out her hand, and was quickly held by Ah Zi, she felt that something was stuffed into her hand, which was covered by Furisui.

"I'll wait for you to go out, miss." Ah Zi said softly, "When you go out, I'll buy you your favorite wagashi."

Mahiru was thoughtful, silently withdrew her hand: "Thank you, Ah Zi..."

"The young master said it." The maid added in a low voice, then stood up, picked up the water glass, and walked away with three steps.

Mahiru knelt on the ground, with a little complicated look on his brows.

Father, he was as cowardly as ever.

It's always been that way, never changed.

Although he knew to ask Ah Zi to bring pastries, he didn't dare to resist his father at all... Only when the other party agreed to bring water, he dared to sneak something over.

This is not flexible... If it had been sent secretly earlier, she could have expressed her happiness, but she couldn't do it now, she just felt a little sad and sad.

This means that she expects Nan Yayan to refute Nan Shihui's fantasy for herself, which is absolutely impossible.

She also knew that her hunger strike was just a stopgap measure.

It is impossible for him to disobey Nan Shihui's wishes.

In the end, she will become a substitute bride and marry out instead of her younger sister Nansha Zhi.

What will happen if you marry the past?

You don't need to guess, you know, it must be bad, because...

She raised her hand to caress her eye socket.

She has no eyesight.

Apart from her identity as the daughter of the Nan family, she is simply a burden.

In this way, she can neither become the mistress of the family and a good helper, nor can she fight for any interests for the Nan family. The only meaning of her existence is to become the bond of interest between the two families as a victim.

Mahiru didn't even know who she was going to marry, she had only heard about it a little bit, and she also knew about Nan Shihui, the patriarch would definitely not be able to really cooperate and win-win with each other, more would be to use each other.

When the interests of the two sides are inconsistent, they will confront each other again... Then they are destined to become victims of misfortune.

What's worse...she was even powerless to resist her impending fate.

Knowing that the hell ahead is a waste product, she still can only run towards the end of her destiny like a doll lying on a conveyor belt.

This feeling made her desperate and suffocated her.

She threw the pastry in her hand heavily, losing control of her emotions. At this moment, she was angry.

only……

The pastries that were thrown out did not land on the wall for a long time, melting like a mud cow into the sea.

"This cookie tastes good, don't you think it's a pity to lose it like this?"

A strange voice that had never been heard before sounded.

With a bit of frivolity, a bit of casualness, and a bit of chic.

"You are the first person who gave me a taste of the sweetness just after meeting... Woman, you have successfully aroused my interest."
