Xia Lingge waved her hand to interrupt his next words, "Butler, I have something to ask you."

The old housekeeper's expression paused, and then he returned to a respectful look: "If Miss Lingge has any orders, just say so."

"I want to talk about my brother."

Xia Lingge's eyes fell directly on Shen Yu, with an indifferent expression that made it impossible to see the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy when she said these words.

The old housekeeper hesitated: "Miss Lingge... what do you want to know about the young master?"

Xia Lingge continued to ask: "Father and mother, do you love your brother very much?"

"Yes."

After hearing this, the old housekeeper couldn't help but reveal a loving and gentle look in his eyes: "Prince Kloster and his wife are a family marriage, but they are not like other family marriages where their interests come first and they have grudges. On the contrary, they are more affectionate and very affectionate. Soon there will be Miss Poetic."

"It's a bit sad to say that the Kloster family has been a single generation for generations. The boy was so pitiful. Later, at Mrs. Kloster's suggestion, she became pregnant with a child, but she didn't want to still be a girl, that is, Miss Vivi."

Xia Lingge listened to the old housekeeper's story in silence, extracting sensitive words that could provide clues, such as 'but don't want to'...

In other words, after the Klosters gave birth to their eldest daughter, they wanted a son, but it turned out to be a daughter. If you speculate this way, then the birth of her 'third daughter' may have been caused by this.

The old housekeeper continued as expected: "Then came Miss Lingge. At this point, Prince Kloster and Mrs. Kloster were in a slump for a long time. Oh, Miss Lingge, please forgive me for my clumsy tongue. Wang Jue and Mrs. Kloster Madam loves you and your two sisters wholeheartedly, but they are too eager to have a boy, so it is inevitable that they will be a little disappointed."

"It's okay, you continue."

Xia Lingge said.

The old butler responded with a 'yes', his turbid eyes fell on Shen Yu, and his gray-blue pupils showed a loving smile: "Perhaps the love of Lord and Lady Kloster moved God, my Lord Then a little baby boy was given to this castle. I still remember the day when the little boy was born. The castle was full of joy, and everyone’s face was filled with happiness and joyful smiles. To this day , I also sincerely thank my Lord for giving the young master to the castle."

Xia Lingge couldn't help but summarize four words in her mind as she listened - favoring boys over girls. Although the old housekeeper tried his best to cover it up and tried to tell the Klosters that they wanted a boy just to make up for their regrets, the attitude of people did not tolerate any lies. of.

Another point……

"Father, do we only have three girls?" Xia Lingge turned to the old housekeeper, "Should I also have a younger sister?"

The old butler was obviously stunned, and the furrow-like wrinkles were squeezed deeper. He shook his head and hesitated: "No, no, no, Prince Kloster only has Miss Poetic, Miss Weiwei and you. He has no other daughters. I don't know. Where did Miss Song hear such rumors? Lies are the blade that cuts the tongue, and God will not let it go."

Xia Lingge did not answer his words, but continued to ask: "Since before the young master was born, has my father, Lord Kloster, behaved in any weird way?"

The old housekeeper's brows furrowed deeper and he looked at her with doubts. Xia Lingge remained calm and said in a steady voice: "My father died strangely, so I want to know more about his life and see what happened." It’s not like someone was plotting the murder secretly.”

That little bit of speculation disappeared under her explanation. The old housekeeper relaxed his brows, lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "It's been so long that I can't remember clearly, but to be suspicious, the king has often been away from home since you were one month old. I don’t stay overnight, and sometimes I come back only once every ten days and a half. I’ll have breakfast with my wife and then leave in a hurry.”

"And then..." Xia Lingge looked at him: "What else?"

The housekeeper said: "This situation lasted for almost a year. Prince Kloster once returned home and locked himself in the study for a day and a night. No one opened the door, but since that day, Prince Kloster no longer went out early or late. Instead, she often locked herself in the study and never came out. Not long after, Mrs. Kloster became pregnant with the young master. I think the prince must have been praying for blessings at that time."

study……

Xia Lingge suddenly thought of the underground altar hidden in the study, the timing of the sacrificed ghost bride and Mrs. Kloster's pregnancy, which was so coincidental that it was hard not to make a connection, and the sister... Could it be that he was referring to The child in the ghost bride’s belly?
wrong,

Mrs. Kloster once said that the fourth sister was not much different in age from her, and could even be the same age. But according to the old housekeeper, it was a year after Lord Kloster locked himself in the study. In addition, layout preparation also takes some time.

Who will the fourth sister be?

And what is the ghost bride used for?

Many questions came to mind.Xia Lingge looked at the old butler with a kind and loving expression, obviously he didn't know anything anymore. Soon, they arrived in front of the castle. The old butler walked to the gate of the castle with ease, opened the door and faced Xia Lingge. They stretched out their hands slightly: "Young master, Miss Lingge, young duke, please."

They walked in slowly.

Si Cheng shook off Shen Yu and took two steps to come to Xia Lingge: "Senior, can you ask me what you want?"

"more or less."

Xia Lingge took a deep breath and replied: "But the more I ask, the more curious I become. But now I want to see what the young housekeeper's expression will be like when he sees this old man."

It was quiet in the castle. The bright and complicated blankets were spread neatly on the ground. The tables and chairs were clean and tidy. The soft sofa was covered with a layer of silk as red as blood. The whole castle was so quiet that Xia Lingge blinked. He stood up and walked towards the second floor with his eyes closed.

She pushed straight away from Bai Weiwei's bedroom. Her skirt, as soft as petals, was spread out in layers. The weak girl lay on her side on the ground with her eyes closed, her cheeks pale and bloodless.Xia Lingge paused and put his fingertips under her nose. She was breathing, but very weakly.

"Hey, wake up."

Xia Lingge stretched out his hand and pushed her twice. Bai Weiwei opened her eyelids tremblingly and saw their pupils dilated instantly with fear in their eyes: "No, don't kill me! I will obey you in everything, don't kill me!"

Xia Lingge pulled off her arm that she was fidgeting with: "What happened?"

Bai Weiwei seemed to have calmed down. She raised her eyes and looked at Xia Lingge. As if she was sure of something, she pounced on her and cried: "Butler... that housekeeper is not a good person, he wants to harm me!"

"Huh? What did he hurt you?"

Xia Lingge frowned and pulled Bai Weiwei away from her. Sure enough, she still didn't like getting too close to strangers.
