Chapter 134 The legacy in the castle (7)

"it is good."

Mrs. Kloster's eyes were still soft. She turned sideways to make room for Xia Lingge, who came over to help. Xia Lingge winked at Si Cheng and Shen Yu, and they also tidied up the things in the study very cooperatively. thing.

There were not many things on the table in front of Mrs. Kloster. The quill stained with ink was placed neatly aside. Various documents and books were neatly stacked to make a space. A beautiful box was placed in the middle, which contained Many photo albums.

"Look at this."

Mrs. Kloster picked up a photo album, which showed a photo of a man wearing a top hat holding a baby in his arms. "This is a photo taken not long after your brother was born."

She stretched out her fingertips to caress with nostalgia: "Wang Jue likes your brother very much. He asked Mr. Fronto, the best photographer, to take birth photos just two days after he was born. And this..."

It was a picture of a man in a top hat and four children of various sizes.

"This is a family photo taken when your brother was three years old. You see, he liked to stick to you at that time. For this reason, Wang Jue said that you are the luckiest child in the family."

Xia Lingge took the photo handed over by Mrs. Kloster. Only the rough outline could be distinguished from the black and white picture. Several figures were next to each other, staring motionlessly in front of them with dark, round eyes.

She flipped through the rest of the photos, all of which were photos of men and children, but most of them were photos of the young master alone. She picked up the most recent set of photos, which showed Lao Ke sitting in a wheelchair. The photo of Lord Lost and his four children is still in black and white, with subtle lines outlining the general outline of the characters.

The photos are great, but I always feel like something is not quite right.

Xia Lingge put down the photo and turned to face the big bookcase at the back. Various colorful books were placed on it. Those complicated English words were automatically translated into Chinese in her mind when she saw them.

Boy, this game is really becoming more and more user-friendly.

'Kangdang——'

She kicked something. Xia Lingge looked down and saw that it was an old pocket watch that had somehow been placed in this corner. She picked it up and threw it into the trash can, but suddenly found that there seemed to be a photo under the layers of paper in the trash can. She Hesitantly he reached out for it.

"Oh, my boy. What's wrong?"

Mrs. Kloster's voice sounded again. Xia Lingge paused and turned around slowly to face Mrs. Kloster's smiling face. Because it was against the light, her gentle brows were split by the light, revealing a sinister and ferocious look. look.

Xia Lingge stood up: "I just have an old pocket watch."

Mrs. Kloster's eyes followed the direction she was pointing. The old pocket watch was thrown in casually, leaving wrinkles on the paper underneath. Mrs. Kloster's brows seemed to soften, and she took out the handkerchief. He wiped her fingertips affectionately, and then said: "Let the servants do these rough jobs from now on. You are the daughter of Lord Kloster, how can you lower your noble head to do such a thing."

She stroked Xia Lingge's hair: "Okay, my child, you have helped me a lot, go back and rest quickly."

Xia Lingge saw her rejection and said nothing, just nodded and turned around. Si Cheng and Shen Yu saw her leaving but did not stay. They said goodbye to Mrs. Kloster and closed the door.

'click' sound.

The door is closed.

The originally gentle Mrs. Kloster suddenly frowned. She walked gloomily to the trash can and rummaged through the garbage. A half-burned photo was held tightly in her hand. The man in the picture stood upright wearing a high hat. , his right hand seemed to be holding someone, but the person was burned and melted by the fire, leaving only a piece of skirt in the photo.

Mrs. Kloster raised a ferocious smile. She walked up to the candle with the photo and lit it gently. The tiny flame gradually grew larger, and finally burned the entire photo.

"My respected Lord Kloster." There was a kind of crazy excitement in her eyes: "Your property will definitely belong to its true owner."

……

"and many more."

Xia Lingge walked into the corridor and suddenly stopped and murmured in a low voice: "I understand something is wrong."

"What, senior?"

Sicheng also stopped and asked.

Xia Lingge broke away from Si Cheng's support, turned around and walked back: "I'm going back, so don't follow me."

Si Cheng paused as he was about to step forward, and looked at Shen Yu but did not step forward after all.

Xia Lingge returned to the study. The faint burning smell in the air had not completely dissipated. Mrs. Kloster was a little surprised to see her leaving and returning, but she soon raised her gentle smile again and said: "My child, why are you back? What happened?"

"Mother." Xia Lingge called her obediently, "I just thought of a question, so I want to ask you to help answer it."

Mrs. Kloster said: "You know I like answering other people's questions the most, especially my children, tell me."

Xia Lingge said: "Isn't your relationship with your father not that good?"

Mrs. Kloster's expression paused: "Oh, my child, where did you come to this conclusion?"

Xia Lingge said: "I'm just confused. As the wife of Lord Kloster and the mistress of the entire castle, why do you not even have a photo? Don't say you don't like taking pictures. I know. For photos full of meaning, such as family portraits and anniversaries, the hostess is indispensable.”

Mrs. Kloster walked to the table in silence, stretched out her slender fingertips and slowly scratched the already covered box. After a long time, she laughed bitterly and mockingly: "For your father, the child is the most important thing." important."

"What does mother think of the 700 million pounds?" Xia Lingge continued to ask.

Mrs. Kloster's fingertips suddenly paused, she raised her eyes and said in a faint voice: "What do you want to say?"

"My father left 700 million pounds but died of illness before he could tell who to give it to." Xia Lingge slowly approached Mrs. Kloster. "If nothing else happens, the property treaty should not have had time to write down the name of the heir." , of course, even if it’s written, it shouldn’t be too difficult as long as you get the treaty and revise it again.”

"Although we, the four siblings, are relatives, no matter who gets the property, other people will be jealous. But... if the person who gets the property is my mother, it will be different."

When she said the last words, Mrs. Kloster's fingertips trembled obviously.

She continued: "If mother gets the property, my brothers and sisters will definitely not have any complaints, so mother, do you want that property?"

The shallow voice was like thunder outside the window.

The silver-white lightning suddenly brightened and caught Mrs. Kloster's eyes. It was only then that Xia Lingge saw clearly the desire and greed deep in her eyes.
