The girl knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at Langdon.
Her courage was almost gone when she walked into the room. Now she was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, unable to utter a sound for a long time.
This is a good man.
When she was selling flowers, the flower basket was knocked off by someone, and the perpetrator ran away and disappeared, so she could only pick up the flowers one by one.
The passing noble young master accidentally stepped on a flower. When she saw the exquisite and gorgeous boots, she was so frightened that she knelt down by the roadside and apologized repeatedly for blocking the way.
As a result, the noble young master not only did not scold her, but also kindly helped her up and asked her what happened.
She explained the situation carefully.
"That's it, then treat these flowers as if I bought them, and don't pick them up." The noble young master said briskly, "Go home early and rest. Didn't you notice that your face is ugly, as if you are going to be sick?"
She was flattered and wanted to refuse, but the noble young master had already stuffed the banknotes into her basket without any doubt, waved his hand and left.
The noble young master probably didn't know the prices, and the money he gave her was an amount that she might not be able to earn by selling flowers for three days.
Her heart immediately hesitated.
Poverty made it impossible for her to refuse.
After taking it home, the parents were pleasantly surprised after counting the money, and then they thought of something, and forced her to ask her where the money came from.
She can only tell the truth.
The next day, my father came back: "I found out, the fat sheep yesterday is the young master of the Stuart family!"
"Is that Stuart?"
"Yes! That's it!"
All of them knew the reputation of the young master of the Stuart family, and they also knew that as long as they came to ask for an explanation, they would get compensation.
Her mother was moved, and under her mother's pressure to die, she had no choice but to follow her mother to the Duke of Stuart's mansion, and told a lie against her will in front of the young master who had helped her.
She will never forget the hurt and unbelievable look that the young master who once showed her a friendly smile and was willing to help her looked at her when she slandered him.
He became her nightmare of midnight dreams.
She was almost overwhelmed by a heavy sense of guilt, and every time she recalled the look in his eyes, she would feel pain in her heart.
Maybe it's the poison of regret, maybe it's the sigh of Lianxin who was strangled by her own hands before she died.
She was about to be driven crazy, so she left her parents desperately and came to seek death—of course she knew how unforgivable what she did was, and apologizing with death could not change the past, but she could die for atonement, yes She was also a relief.
...she just still didn't dare look up at Langdon's face.
Gathering up her courage and stammering, she finally finished talking about the wrong things she did and the purpose of coming here.
"I see, so after I fired Kane, is he still pretending to be my servant outside?"
Langdon glanced at Kane, eyes full of disgust.
He guessed that Kane must have planned to agree, and then pretended not to know, so that he would continue to be misunderstood. After all, Kane has been working for so many years, and this time will be no exception.
Kane's mouth was blocked, and he was anxious for a long time, unable to speak a word.
Kane understood the look in Langdon's eyes. He knew that Langdon must have felt that he would fire him with a grudge, so he didn't tell him about it...
But he was wronged! ! !
It's fine if he really doesn't intend to tell, but the problem is that he actually wants to tell!
He thought that Langdon used the prophecy as a reason to fire him before, and this kind of unclear misunderstanding was already very uncomfortable, but now he found that it was not the case.
It is really aggrieved to be misunderstood even though you intend to do a good job!
He was already suffering so much, how painful was it for Langdon who was always stabbed in the back by the people he helped?
Kane suddenly understood why Langdon had such a bad temper before.
But he really didn't want to harm Langdon this time!Give him a chance to explain!
Langdon didn't give him a chance to speak. He looked at Kane, who was kneeling in front of him with his hands tied behind his back, in the posture of a sinner. He was silent for a long time, and then he said with emotion.
"I used to trust you so much."
Kane froze for a moment, then struggled harder.
But Langdon ignored him. He was no longer that silly, white and sweet young master. He, who had recognized Kane's true colors, would never soften his heart at such a time.
"I used to look at the love of these years, even if I was worried about the content of the prophecy, I just kept you away from me."
Langdon said grandly: "But you still use my name to talk nonsense outside, this is too much, who knows if your nonsense killed me, you should go to prison to reflect, you I will notify the family."
If Kane was really smart, he should have left the imperial capital earlier, and now he even sent him to his door for revenge. Wouldn't he be a fool not to accept him?
After asking someone to put Kane down, Langdon looked at the remaining girls: "And you, you said just now, you want to..."
The girl plucked up her courage: "I want to go to Miss Helena and explain the reason for you!"

35. We are friends
Help him explain to Helena?
If this happened a few years ago, he would probably be very happy.
but now……
Langdon said calmly, "I appreciate it, but I don't think it's necessary."
Xia Tiya listened to the whole process, and had been refraining from speaking before. At this moment, she finally couldn't control her emotions, and questioned: "Why? I think it's necessary!"
According to the information she investigated, Helena always believed what others said, and the only thing she didn't believe was Langdon's words.
Now that he finally had the opportunity to wash off the dirty water on his body, why did Langdon refuse at this time?
Even if you don't want to see Helena again, you can't miss this good opportunity. If it doesn't work, she can do it for you!
Langdon glanced at Shalltear in surprise. He didn't seem to understand why she was so excited, but he explained anyway.
"There were people like this before, but Helena insisted that I coerced them into perjury, so I didn't think it was necessary."
As soon as these words came out, Shalltear stuttered in shock: "Why, how did this happen? You are not this kind of person at all, what does Miss Helena think of you? How could she do this?"
She thought that Helena was outrageous enough from the information she had investigated, but she didn't expect it to be even more outrageous in private.
Langdon lived in dire straits before?
Langdon was originally depressed because he thought of something unpleasant, but seeing Shalltear's performance, it was inevitable that there would be a surge of heat in his heart.
Even people who have not known him for a long time trust him so much... It can be regarded as proof that he is not such a failure in life.
Langdon stood up, took the initiative to refill a cup of tea for Shalltear, who was more excited than him, and calmed her emotions with a smile: "Thank you for trusting me, I am really happy... your trust is enough, I'm not interested in convincing Helena to trust me anymore."
Hearing these words, Xia Tiya felt both pity and anger in her heart, as well as a bit of secret joy.
The point of pity is that she can't help but feel pity when she thinks that Langdon has tried so hard to win back the trust of his relatives, and now his heart is dead.
The point of anger is that she is only an exiled princess after all, and her deacon can't investigate much. The situation Langdon said has not been investigated. She really doesn't know that Helena is so stubborn to see it to such an extent. .
As for secret joy...
Although Shalltear and Langdon got along well these days, they didn't know much about each other on the surface.
She investigated Langdon privately, but Langdon probably only knew about her work-related matters, and he didn't even find out her true gender.
Because he didn't want his collaborators to worry about his reputation and affect the cooperation, Langdon briefly mentioned that his rumors were not true, but did not explain in detail the reasons why he was misunderstood. It is really inappropriate to explain the dirty water on your body at length.
Now, Langdon was not interested in explaining to Helena, but let her stay, and wanted her to understand that he didn't do that...
Does this mean that Langdon cares a lot about what she thinks of him?
It also means that Langdon has a higher degree of trust in her than Helena, right?
Thinking of this, Xia Tiya felt an indescribable joy in her heart.
As an exiled princess, due to various reasons, Shalltear has always paid attention to maintaining a social distance with others, so this feeling is a bit strange to her.
Why is she so happy because of other people's thoughts?
Obviously, in the education she received, she only needs to cooperate or use other people, and she doesn't need to care about other people's thoughts...
Shalltear thought about it, and tried to find the corresponding items from the knowledge she had learned. After searching for a long time, she felt that it must be because she regarded Langdon as a friend.
That's right, they are friends!
As a nobleman, Langdon can be friends with businessmen without any grievances. If it is not necessary, he never puts on noble airs. It is completely different from her royal brother who is already an exiled royal family and insists on selling his sisters for pleasure capital. .
Moreover, Helena treats Langdon so well, and he is still willing to hand over important judgment rights to Helena. He will not think that Helena is unable to do this because she is a woman. Xia Tiya, who suffers from patriarchy, is very fond of it.
Langdon still has all kinds of whimsical ideas, and he also gives her everything to this unfamiliar collaborator...
But Shalltear felt that Langdon was different from those who were simply "useful".
As long as Langdon was around, Shalltear always felt happy and surprised, which also made her want to know Langdon better, and know why he could come up with so many interesting things.
Well, she must have considered Langdon a friend.
This novelty made Shalltear a little excited, and she couldn't wait to do something suitable for her identity.
What should a friend do?
Probably to share concerns with each other.
So Shatia said: "I still think it is necessary to explain to Miss Helena, but if you don't want to go, you don't have to go, and I will take her to see Miss Helena... Anyway, I should explain I still have to explain, unbelief is her problem, not yours."
Langdon was a little hesitant, feeling that Shalltear was too active: "Is it too much trouble for you? You are so troublesome outside of work..."
"No trouble!" Shalltear raised her voice, coughed twice immediately, adjusted her voice back, and said embarrassedly, "Maybe it's a bit cheeky, but I already regard you as a friend..."
Langdon was stunned, and said with a smile: "How could it be cheeky? I have already regarded you as a friend. If that is the case, I will leave this matter to you. However, Helena has a fever recently, and I am afraid we will have to wait for her." Let's talk about the fever."
Seeing that Langdon also admitted that she was his friend, Shalltear's emotions became even more elevated, but on the surface she still tried to maintain her usual reliable and calm posture: "No problem, leave it to me."
"Okay, but before that, there are other things to deal with." Langdon pressed his temple and said to the girl, "You know what you did, and if it is serious, you will be sentenced to death, right? Helena will give it to you." There is no need for you to take the initiative to admit it.”
The girl was also a little scared, her voice was trembling, but she still said: "But, but in that case, I will also be tortured by guilt so that I would rather die..."
"Okay." Langdon also had to think about how to deal with this girl, "Charles is going to take you to see Helena, and since he pleaded guilty voluntarily, he will definitely give you a lighter sentence..."
Xia Tiya's expression changed, and she couldn't help but use the movement of her glasses to cover her face.
Slandering nobles is a serious crime, even the death penalty is not an exaggeration.
But it also depends on the situation. Judging from the cases she has seen, like this kind of good-looking girl, no matter what crime she committed, or even no crime, many of them were directly sentenced to nobles as slaves or maids. up.
If it was her imperial brother, he would have taken him directly, and would have pretended to be gentle, comforting him, that's right, it was her mother who forced her, and then the girl was moved to sacrifice herself...
Shalltear thought delicately.
Langdon is now saying that he should take it lightly...won't he make the same decision as her royal brother?

36. Do you want to accept her as a maid? (Gageng)
Langdon didn't know what Shalltear was thinking. He really wanted to seriously judge this matter.
"You said you were coerced by your mother?"
"Yes..." The girl responded inexplicably, and then quickly realized that her expression changed drastically, "Your Excellency, please let my mother go, as long as there is any punishment for me!"
Langdon was unmoved: "How can that be? You are just an accomplice. According to what you said, the main culprit is obviously your mother... Oh, by the way, where did you use the money you blackmailed? Who is the main culprit?" In flowers? Don't lie at this time, don't think I won't investigate. "
The girl was obviously in a tangle.
In fact, she had also heard of similar punishments by many nobles, and felt that if she hadn't died, she might have been accepted as Langdon's maid.
In this way, she can not only reduce the pain in her heart, but also stay with the noble boy she secretly loves...
But her parents are not sure, she has never heard of similar cases.
"...was used by my father to buy wine and gamble." The girl replied hesitantly, her pretty face looked up at Langdon, her tears were shining, she was very pitiful, "Please don't kill my parents, just kill me. !"
Langdon analyzed ruthlessly: "Well, that is to say, although it seems that your mother forced you to slander me, the beneficiary is actually your father. Would he not know what your mother did? He just acquiesced That's all, it may even be hinting at your mother to do that, otherwise you can just give you money and collect it, why did you go out of your way to find out who I am?"
