In the dim corridor, the woman wearing the silk dress with suspenders has a beauty that has been soaked in time-

If she doesn't speak.

"Leonard? That dead ghost?!"

Mrs. Fergus's sharp voice wiped her ears, and there was a sense of discomfort when the blade was filed through sandpaper. "If it weren't for him, how could we be ridiculed by all the nobles?... wealth?! The wealth he possessed was on those dozen ships, drifting away with the ocean..."

"The only thing left to me is the untouchable Natasi!"

She said in a hateful tone.

"Mother, do you mean..."

"Yes, there is no money, no piece of luso."

Mrs. Fergus shook her hand, and somehow pulled out a roll of cigarettes, sandwiched between her index finger and middle finger, and took a "fire wipe", took a deep breath, and spit out again.

Across the misty smoke, Mrs. Fergus's curly blond hair, snow-white skin, and crimson lips showed a pictorial beauty.

Especially when her long fingers sandwiched a thick, earth-brown cigarette and swallowed the mist, the impact was even stronger--

She is still frivolous and arrogant.

Sharp voice, exaggerated movements, insults and harshness to the servant often make her seem uncultivated. She looks like a woman with empty brain and mean and vicious.

All this is almost exactly the same as described in the book.

It's strange that Liu Yu couldn't bear any objection.

Seemingly paying attention to her eyes, Mrs. Fergus pressed her cigarette butts, throwing away, and looked at her carefully:

"Belia... Don't be angry, I won't smoke, I won't smoke..."

She used to carry her back before-

Liu Yu could occasionally smell the smoke.

However, at this time Mrs. Fergus's performance made her feel strange:

She was like a bad boy who was caught playing truant and had a natural weakness in her daughter who was a generation younger than her.

But thinking of what happened just now makes me feel reasonable again.

Which mother was hit by such a thing by her daughter could not be calm.

"Natasi..."

"Natasi?! That little **** who always cries and cry?! I should have drove her out. That house is from Fergus, she is a civilian-not eligible to live. It would be useful if she was not , Can do some help in the kitchen, I drove her out early.

Mrs. Fergus said in a particularly cold tone.

"Why did you never say that?" Liu Yu said in surprise. "Some people outside told you that you killed him in partnership with your lover in order to get the wealth of Uncle Leonard..."

"Oh Bellia..." Mrs. Fergus looked at her with light brown eyes, and her eyes were very gentle. "... That's better than letting you know the truth."

"So... you never said?"

Liu Yu got it.

The legacy of Leonard's "nothing needed" can conceal the "truth" of a noble widow making money from bed.

"Don't look at me like this, please forgive a mother's self-esteem. Belia, I have no other skills..."

"...You are always proud of the Fergus family. When I married Leonard, you didn't even speak to me for half a year... You said I was frivolous and not worthy of your father... But as a mother, how can she patiently look at her daughter, crying all day just because she doesn't have a silk skirt, or even unwilling to go to Sauron College..."

"So, did you marry Uncle Leonard?"

Liu Yu looked at this embarrassed woman.

"Yes. A civilian, holding all his wealth and marrying the widow of the noble with his rhetoric, but not treating her well... He clearly should worship her forever, but he died in the cold sea and took him All the property—" Mrs. Fergus gritted her teeth fiercely, "Isn't he **** enough? He should go to **** forever!"

In her words, no trace of pity for Leonard, her civilian husband.

Liu Yu was silent.

Is Leonard innocent?

Is Natasi innocent?

But in front of Mrs. Fergus, who was struggling to support... She was also fooled by her life.

Mrs. Fergus stepped forward and took her arm:

"...Belia, you have an unparalleled beauty, you are born noble, you should enjoy the best life in the world, just like other noble ladies... but no one wants to marry a cursed noble widow, unless it is A loaf who has nothing...the mother has no other way."

"So," she looked at her with all her love, "... would you blame me, Belia?"

Liu Yu seemed to be pierced by that look-

She shivered, but couldn't answer a word.

She couldn't tell the poor mother what she had given, the girl who should bear all her love, she... disappeared.

The one in front is just a fake.

In the silent confrontation, the fire in Mrs. Fergus' eyes disappeared.

She pulled her shoulders down:

"...I should think of it, Babe, you are so proud."

"No," an impulse grabbed Liu Yu's throat. "Belia will not blame you."

She looked at Mrs. Fergus seriously:

"Belia is very happy."

"Really, Belia?" Mrs. Fergus looked up, her eyes brighter than ever before, "Don't you blame me?"

"Really, Belia will never blame you."

Liu Yu knitted a beautiful lie.

Urged:

"Mother, you should go to bed."

But Mrs. Fergus did not obey, and she hugged her:

"Oh, I've never been so happy...Beliya, you can't imagine how happy I am...I thought you would never care about me again...Oh, I'm so happy..."

"But mother, don't do this in the future." Liu Yu closed her eyes and opened again, "I will earn enough Russo for your life."

"Okay, okay, don't do it! Don't do it!" Mrs. Fergus tears happily, "My Bellia finally grew up...I'm so happy..."

She hugged her tightly.

Liu Yu held her motionlessly, and she looked at the wall lamp in the hallway.

The lights are warm, the arms are warm, warm... people can't help but get weak.

Belia, you are really, really happy.

she thinks.

Mrs. Fergus was urged to go back step by step.

Liu Yu was beaten up and couldn't fall asleep completely.

She went back to the house and took a blanket and draped it over her shoulders. Then she walked downstairs and walked out to the small garden of Fergus' house.

She found the place where she sat when she first came.

Sit down, the tall bushes covered her shadow like last time.

As autumn falls, the leaves of the bushes begin to turn a little yellow.

The sky was like a huge dark sapphire when she first saw her. She looked up for a while and said to herself: "...It's a full moon."

"Full moon?"

At this time, a shadow appeared next to it.

The shadow sat down and surrounded her with a familiar, clear atmosphere like Song Xue.

"...What is the full moon?"

"The moon is full." Liu Yu pointed to the sky. "Did you see it?"

"Yes."

When the other party answered, Liu Yu felt rude.

He couldn't see.

She withdrew her eyes and turned her head, just to see the other party's long silver hair flying in the wind.

After a moment of fascination, she said:

"I'm sorry, today... let you see something rude."

"Belia, don't need to apologize."

"Then... will you look down on me?"

Liu Yu knows how serious the chain of contempt in this world is.

"No, Belia, I will never look down on you." Gaia lowered her head slightly. At night, Liu Yu saw his gray-green eyes focused on "seeing" himself, "So, you can tell me now , Is there something bothering you?"

"Do you want to listen?"

"I want to hear everything about you."

It sounds really gentle.

Liu Yu thought, the deity is really good at bewitching.

Maybe... the moonlight at this time is too gentle.

She couldn't help but want to tell.

"If there is something--" she organized the language, "You have wanted it for a long time and looked forward to it for a long time, but it never came to your side. Gradually, you have no expectation of it, and you no longer crave it. But at this moment, it came suddenly. The appearance was not what you expected. It was neither gentle nor self-cultivated, but it was very warm and specific."

"What would you do?"

"It depends on your heart... Belia, do you still want it?"

Liu Yu thought of Mrs. Fergus' tearful, loving eyes.

She looked at her deeply--

No, not her.

It's Belia.

Turns out... are you still eager?

Mother loves this kind of thing.

"I don't want it anymore."

She has grown up.

But the top of the head was lightly pressed, and Liu Yu looked up, but he saw Gaia "looking" at her with a frost-like face, soaked in the moonlight:

"But, Belia... let the little girl stop crying."

"what?"

Liu Yu didn't understand it and looked at him in surprise.

"I hope that one day, when the little girl said she didn’t want to, it was a careless tone, because she had the whole world, so it didn’t matter to everything; instead of standing outside and looking at the toys inside the door, she didn’t dare to get close. ."

"Gaia..."

Liu Yu stared blankly at him.

The gray eyes of the youth reflected the icy moonlight, and at this moment, they also had a clear texture.

He smiled slightly.

"Belia, you deserve the best in this world."

is it?

Liu Yu thought.

Worth...the best of everything?

Is he what he "sees", knows, and likes?

No, it's not.

Like Mrs. Fergus, he saw an ugly creature covered in countless shells, the girl who pretended to be a bright believer and loved him infatuated with love, not her—

A cold, firm unbeliever.

"...Don't want it." Liu Yu grunted and buried his head deeply in his chest, like Lepi. "Gaia, I can't move anymore. You hold me back."

In an instant, she had quickly returned to normal.
