Yellow hair can also have a husband-chasing crematorium

"no."

Helena shook her head: "He wasn't like this before."

She had just been adopted as a child and brought to the Duke's mansion. When she first met Langdon, Helena really thought Langdon was an angel.

The child had bright blond hair, blue eyes as beautiful as jewels, a delicate face, and a very cute smile.

She came to such a gorgeous big house from the countryside, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. It was Langdon who took her around every day to play, and gradually became familiar with the structure of the house.

Even if it was a toy he liked very much, Langdon would still let her play with it first.

If there are delicious things, I will think about letting her taste them too.

Obviously she was the elder sister, but at that time, she was actually more cared for by the young Langdon.

Although she also likes to play with Langdon very much, she is an adopted daughter and cannot be as willful as Langdon.

She needs to learn the rules of the nobility and tutor the talents that noble ladies should know.

But her governess was prejudiced against her.

"Don't laugh like that, she's a girl from the countryside, she's not dignified at all."

As a result, her smile gradually faded, and she only dared to laugh easily when she was with Langdon.

"The young master is the future duke, don't always go to play with the young master, what will you do if you lead him away!"

So she silently reduced the number of times she went to see Langdon, and became increasingly estranged from her beloved brother.

It wasn't until after the death of the Duchess that the Duke showed indifference to the children that Helena finally found a reason to be intimate with Langdon.

But at this time, Kane suggested to her that as an older sister, she should take on the responsibility of raising Langdon, otherwise she would be sorry for the Duchess' favor of adopting her, and would not be able to spoil Langdon like before.

So she became a little harsher with Langdon without knowing it.

Many times, Helena took time out of her busy schedule to see Langdon, just to educate Langdon instead of the tutor who dared not speak out.

The precocious Helena felt that she was like a elder sister like a mother, and hated iron for being weak.

The young Langdon couldn't understand her kindness, and his attitude towards the busy adoptive sister who was no longer gentle and cheerful when she was a child was also a lot colder.

"Langdon, I'm doing this for your own good. Don't be angry with your sister, okay?"

"...Okay, sister."

Helena, who was immersed in memories, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Kane quickly stopped and asked carefully, "Miss Helena? Do you have any orders?"

"Nothing, just..."

Helena looked dazed.

"I suddenly couldn't remember, since when did Langdon stop calling me sister?"

4. Uncle: Marry Helena!

On a foggy Sunday, relatives of the Stuart family, as well as some invited nobles, gathered at the Stuart family cemetery to attend the funeral of the former duke.

The closest to the coffin were the old Duke Stuart's two children.

Dressed in a black-and-white tuxedo, the young new duke appeared to be injured, and was rarely seen in a wheelchair.

His long curly blond hair was tied into a bundle on his shoulders by a hair tie, his handsome face was expressionless, and he looked down at the coffin that had been put into the pit indifferently.

Behind the wheelchair is the Duke's adopted daughter.

His long dark blue hair was neatly tied behind his head, leaving only a few strands of hair around his ears. A pair of ice blue eyes were hidden behind the mesh under the brim of his hat, silently staring at the young Duke.

The young girl was wrapped in a black velvet mourning dress, her slender waist was tightly gripped, and she was slender and moving. The long skirt hung conservatively to her feet, with only a little tip of the shoe exposed.

The large area of ​​black makes her skin exposed to the air fairer, immersed in the mist, exuding a pearl-like soft luster, and the hands protruding from the lace cuffs are carefully supporting the wheelchair.

The atmosphere of the funeral was very solemn, and it was not until the end of the main process that the old Duke's brother began to give a speech to express his condolences to his brother, and people relaxed a little.

Some people began to whisper about the young duke and brother.

"Do they have a bad relationship? It seems that they haven't talked to each other all the time."

"When you say that, it seems that..."

Before the funeral started, the siblings were going to greet the guests.

Even though Helena replaced the maid or attendant and stood behind Langdon, responsible for pushing the wheelchair, there was no verbal communication between them, only talking to the guests separately.

Even when Langdon had to stand up to lay flowers on the coffin, they didn't communicate at all. It was Helena who saw that Langdon had one foot on the ground, and hurried forward to support him.

A customer said with emotion: "I heard that they have a bad relationship, but it seems to be true."

"It's impossible for the relationship to be good, and it's not the biological sister. The mere adopted daughter actually got in touch with family affairs earlier than the serious heir. If you ask me, the adopted daughter will probably be married off soon."

"What? Why is this happening?"

"The duchess passed away early, and the old duke would have married another wife, but he didn't like it, so the "lady diplomacy" that should have been in charge of the duchess was taken over by this adopted daughter. It is said that she is very capable, old man The Duke also entrusted her with many matters that should not be touched by the adopted daughter."

"Oh, what will the legitimate heir do, the old duke really..."

There are no rules.

But in the Duke's position, even if there are no rules, no one will criticize him, it will only make people adapt to his "new rules".

But now that the old duke is dead and the new duke succeeds, he must gather power.

Whether Helena can continue this honor is uncertain.

The most convenient way is to marry Helena, so that Helena can be properly squeezed out of the Stuart family.

Even if Helena has planted her own people in the family, it's useless. If you marry someone, you're an outsider. If you don't want to be regarded as a traitor, a sensible person should submit to the serious master of the new Duke.

Although these people were not dukes themselves, they put themselves into Langdon one by one, and they were very devoted to the plan of the three fires of the new official's appointment.

Someone interrupted: "You may not be clear when you are in other places, the new Duke... Hehe, you really don't necessarily have this vision."

Many people cheered up immediately and signaled the man from the imperial capital to say a few more words.

The imperial capital lowered his voice: "Don't you wonder why he attended in a wheelchair?"

"why?"

"Because he was beaten for molesting a good woman! His father just died, so he can't bear the loneliness! You can imagine what he does usually, anyway, you know the old duke's temper, and he didn't train him well at all. "

The people who eat melon gasped in cooperation and shook their heads.

Got it, dude.

He was the only male in the family, and he was born as a sure-fire heir. Eating, drinking, and having fun didn't affect his succession to the title. If the family members were irresponsible, it would be normal for him to raise and waste.

"So what will happen in the future, I really can't tell..."

Langdon and Helena naturally couldn't hear the whispers behind them.

They stood in the most visible place except the coffin, and could not relax a bit until the funeral was over.

But the end of the funeral does not mean today's mission is complete.

So many people came all the way to attend the funeral, of course they had to take the opportunity to communicate and exchange information, so after the funeral, there will be a banquet for those who have come.

After all, it was a banquet after the funeral. Although the succession of the young duke was to be celebrated, the atmosphere should not be too enthusiastic. Everyone walked around the banquet with wine glasses, talking in low voices.

Because there were too many people who needed to entertain, Helena also had to hand Langdon, who was in a wheelchair, to the maid, and bear part of the responsibility for the entertainment herself.

She knew that these people were mocking her behind her back.

She also knew that the person on the other side said "You've worked so hard", but in her heart she was calling her a "pretending country girl".

But besides her, there is no one who can help Langdon share the work of entertainment, and Helena can only pretend that she doesn't know what these people think, and respond to their inquiries according to the etiquette.

After chatting with countless people for a long time, a noble lady walked in front of Helena.

The lady congratulated hypocritically: "Oh, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. I heard that you are going to marry into the Stuart family?"

Helena was taken aback: "...Langdon wants to marry me?"

Although she is not included in the Stuart family's genealogy as an adopted daughter, and she can indeed get married if she wants to get married, as long as she finds a reason, but their relationship has been a bit bad these years...

Having said that, her tutor taught her the little tricks between lovers as a compulsory course for noble girls, but she didn't intend to please others, so she didn't take it seriously.

Now that I think about it, did Langdon just want to get her attention by messing around to cause trouble for her?If so, Langdon to her...

The lady squinted her eyes.

She saw Helena startled slightly, a shy smile slowly appeared on her face that had been coldly wearing a polite smile.

Just as the winter snow melts, the earth returns to spring, and the ice flowers bloom.

At this moment, she was radiant, with a charming radiance on her face that was completely different from the usual high-mountain flowers.

"You guys are really sisters and brothers. At this time, the first reaction is the little Duke Stuart."

The lady covered the lower half of her face with a fan, as if she wanted to hide her contemptuous smile, but her exposed eyes were full of mockery: "Sure enough, Miss Helena has always wanted to marry the little duke, right?"

Helena replied immediately: "There is no such thing, I have always regarded him as my younger brother."

"Really? But that's not what your smile just said."

Helena was startled, did she just laugh?

Without waiting for Helena to think carefully, the lady continued: "But unfortunately, it's not the little duke."

"..."

Helena's face that had a little blood color just now turned pale in an instant.

A self-made sentimental embarrassment welled up in her heart.

It's all the fault of this lady, who didn't finish speaking in one breath, causing her to misunderstand!But the Stuart family except Langdon...

Appreciating Helena's rare embarrassment, the lady said slowly: "The one who is talking about marriage with you is your uncle's eldest son. I heard your uncle discussing with the little Duke Stuart just now. What about this thing.

"...Is that so? I don't know about it, and I don't know...that cousin very well."

Helena was very shocked and barely controlled her expression.

Her uncle, the younger brother of the old Duke of Stuart, did not inherit the title, but he did inherit some territory. He was a large manor owner with knights and slaves.

Uncle's eldest son...

Helena was really impressed.

He was a tyrannical guy who liked to whip slaves, a cruel guy.

The only time we met was many years ago, and the look in her eyes made her very uncomfortable.

That guy thought she was some kind of slave girl, and begged her adoptive father to give her to him.

To actually want her to marry that kind of person...

"Miss Helena doesn't seem to be very willing." The lady smiled lightly, "However, the marriage of aristocratic women does not depend entirely on one's own mood. The family has raised us so much, so we should make some contributions to the family, right?"

Helena heard this kind of words that satirized her commoner background and didn't know what a real nobleman was, and she was used to it long ago, but this time it was particularly harsh.

To make a contribution... Letting her marry a scumbag, what kind of contribution is it?

Yes, how could she forget.

Kane said that Langdon has always been dissatisfied with her housekeeping. If she is married off, Langdon can naturally gather power and even draw closer to his uncle's family.

Helena was mentally prepared for such a thing as getting married, but she really couldn't accept that scumbag.

When his uncle wanted her for that cousin, it was Little Langdon who stood up and kept her, and even comforted her, "When I grow up, I will find a good husband for my sister." By the way, Langdon hated her too. That cousin, just talking about marriage, doesn't necessarily mean he has already agreed, right?

"This kind of thing won't be discussed so quickly. If there is no definite news, please don't talk nonsense, madam."

"Really? But when I passed by just now, I obviously heard the little duke say, 'After I get married, will my uncle help me with housekeeping for Helena? That sounds really good'. I didn't catch the latter, but it should be Has little effect……"

Helena clasped her hands behind her back, the shame and indignation in her heart were replaced by anger.

Langdon—!

The uncle obviously had malicious intentions. Seeing that Langdon was young and wanted to take a share of the action, Langdon actually lured wolves into the house in order to exclude her!

The idiot! ! !

She's going to talk to him right now!
