Chapter 319 Circus Clown ＜40＞
Since everyone is a duke, the manors are similar.
The geographical location is the same and the size of the manor is almost the same.
The only difference is that the other party is really low-key and introverted, unlike Fang Li's house, which is filled with all kinds of silver jewelry and pearls and gems.
The only thing in common is that the other person's aesthetic taste seems to be quite consistent with that of their family, and they also like dark green very much.
Led by the Duke Herbert's butler, Fang Li walked towards the Duke's mansion step by step.
Taking advantage of this time, she asked Chou Qin about the family situation of the so-called Duke Herbert.
"By the way, does his wife know about this situation?"
She wanted to know the other lady, did she know that her husband had always been in love with another duchess?
If you knew, would you be so angry that your back teeth would be broken?
Since you keep saying that you have admired the other person since childhood, why do you still want to waste time on other women?
So you have always had Bai Yueguang in your heart, but the one you married into your family is another woman, is that what you mean?
Even though the other party had helped him, Fang Li still cared a lot about this matter, and felt that the other party had ultimately let down his wife.
After checking the situation in the small world, Chou Qin said to Fang Li.
“The Duchess of Herbert died more than ten years ago.
She gave birth to two sons and two daughters for the current Lord Herbert, but unfortunately died during childbirth of her youngest daughter.
Fang Li was speechless and extremely helpless. She had never expected that the other party would die from such a reason.
But later I thought about it, in ancient times when medical technology was very low both in China and abroad, it was indeed very likely that people would die from this cause.
A minor fever or tetanus can be fatal, let alone giving birth to a child.
It’s normal to think about it this way.
As Fang Li walked into the hall, His Excellency Duke Herbert came up to her and said to her.
"Helena, are you okay? I'm sorry to have scared you."
The worry in the other person's eyes and the tension in his expression could not be hidden no matter what.
It was too obvious to Fang Li. Could the other party really be her biological father? Was that why he was so nervous when facing her?
At first, Fang Li didn't want to believe this, but after thinking about it, she realized that this was indeed something her mother would do.
Think about it, if the other party can even get rid of her own husband’s illegitimate children, what else can’t she do?
Besides, her mother, the Duchess, completely treated her father as a tool.
There shouldn't be much affection between them. The reason they are together is because they like each other and are easy to control.
Even after he inherited the title of Duke, she could still live well in the mansion.
Fang Li was thinking that the situation at the beginning must have been exactly the same as what the Duchess had guessed, but later the other party had lived in the royal capital for several years, had seen all kinds of beauties, and had a lot of money in his hands, so naturally his mind became crooked.
Most men are like this, they become bad once they have money.
Fang Li looked at Lord Duke Herbert, shook her head, and said to him.
"It's okay. The Knights didn't give me any trouble. They just locked me up there."
After hearing her words, His Excellency Duke Herbert laughed coldly.
"Humph, a small knight group actually dared to directly detain the daughter of the Duke, and without any evidence. They are so bold. I don't know who gave them the courage."
At this moment, Fang Li suddenly thought of another problem. Wasn't it said that there was a Countess who had colluded with the Knights before and deliberately came to her mansion to embarrass her? It was just that it was the Pope who took direct action at that time.
The Pope's actions must have been extremely sophisticated, after all, he was the most powerful person, and he easily subdued the so-called Countess.
Fang Li sighed slightly at this time and said to the other party.
"There's nothing we can do. They can't find any strong evidence, but all the accusations are directed at me. After all, I'm the one with the strongest motive for committing the crime."
When she said this, she took out a handkerchief from her arms and pressed it to the corners of her eyes, gently pressing a few times.
"I don't know what happened to the Duke's Mansion. Who did they offend? How come so many cousins were all killed by the murderer in just a few days?
I have thought about it a lot, but I still can't understand it. Although they are the ones who will inherit the Duke's Mansion and I have to make a living under someone else, I have never thought of wanting these people to die."
As she spoke, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and her long, black, curly, and thick eyelashes also became wet.
Looking at this opponent, Chou Qin couldn't help but think in his heart, This guy is really good at acting.
With such great acting skills, it’s a pity that he didn’t become an actor. If he were an actor, I don’t know how many Oscars he would have won.
It's simply awesome, there's no way to fully describe it.
"It's being rumored in the capital now that I hired someone to kill all my cousins in order to inherit the Duke's Mansion. I am so innocent."
When she said this, Fang Li seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. She covered her eyes and sobbed softly.
She sobbed so hard that Lord Duke Herbert, who was standing next to her, felt very distressed.
After all, this is the flesh and blood of him and his beloved woman.
As a duke, it's fine that he can't protect the woman he loves, but now he can't even protect his own daughter?
No, all the cousins were dead anyway.
It was a foregone conclusion that his daughter would inherit the Duke's Palace.
As for the lingering Lord Lancaster, let him live a few more days. At this time, the faster he dies, the greater the controversy on Fang Li's side.
It's good to just lie on the hospital bed and survive. It won't threaten Fang Li's position anyway.
Thinking of this, Lord Herbert walked up to Fang Li, stretched out his arm, and patted the other's head gently.
He placed his hands by his sides, looking particularly helpless.
It seemed that he wanted to reach out and hug Fang Li in his arms, but he didn't dare to do so. So he opened and closed his five fingers, and repeated this several times, but he didn't dare to do this action. In the end, he just put his hand on Fang Li's head.
"It's okay, it's okay. The innocent will be innocent. This matter has nothing to do with you. Even if it has nothing to do with you, the Knights will catch the murderer soon.
So you don’t have to worry.”
When Fang Li heard this, she thought the other party was looking for a scapegoat, but she didn't know who that person would be.
