Chapter 342 Jin Juan and Birthday
After noticing the newly opened space at the back of the garden, Emma's brows subconsciously frowned.
Most of the Baohua family's property had been confiscated six years ago, except for this manor built by the first king, which had not been recovered because of its extremely special significance.
So even though she didn't want to remember those sad memories and didn't want to live in an empty manor with her daughter, she took the initiative to move to a small wooden house in the corner of the garden, but the manor still belonged to her in name, and no one should enter without permission.
Could it be that a thief broke in? But why would the thief spend the effort to clean up the empty space?
With a lot of questions in her mind, Emma opened the window and looked, and found that not only the back of the garden where she and her daughter lived had been cleaned, but even the carriageway from the main gate to the main building seemed to have been taken care of, and the gravel and weeds on the road had been cleared away.
Seven or eight very fresh wheel tracks were extending along the main road to the main building. The broken stained glass windows on the first floor of the main building had been cleared away, and even the servants' room with a slightly collapsed roof had been demolished. The flowerbed in front of the main building was full of messy footprints.
Is this... someone wants to move in? !
After looking at the messy footprints in the flowerbed and the large amount of horse manure that had not been cleaned up, Emma couldn't help but bite her lip in anger.
Although she didn't care about this empty house, this manor was her home after all. She had lived here for more than 20 years. The newcomers wanted to occupy it directly without even saying hello. It was really too much.
"Ellie, tell your mother!"
After closing the back window in annoyance, Emma tried to calm down and asked in a gentle voice:
"What's going on behind the garden? Who has come here these days?"
"These days... many uncles with ladders and tools have come here, and they pushed down the big badge in the middle of the building and replaced it with a new one."
After trying to recall, the little girl gestured with her hand and said:
"On that badge, there is a bird with a pointed beak, green feathers, and horizontal black and white stripes on its belly."
Pointy beak, green feathers, horizontal black and white stripes on its belly...Golden Cuckoo Emblem?
After listening to the little girl's description, Emma's face suddenly turned pale, and she thought of a possibility that she couldn't accept. Then she ran out of the cabin without even changing her shoes, climbed over the back wall of the garden and ran to the main building.
When Emma turned to the front and saw the front of the main building that could not be seen from the cabin, and saw the pattern on the new badge, her cheeks suddenly flushed, and a cold wind suddenly blew in her eyes that were usually gentle like water.
Golden Azalea Emblem!
Yes, I should have thought of it earlier. In addition to myself, there is another person who is qualified to live in Baohua Manor!
Looking up at the curtain wall on the second floor of the main building, after looking at the golden azalea emblem that was shining with emerald green light in the sunset, Emma turned her head silently and found the emblem belonging to the Baohua family in the flower bed on the side of the building that was used as a garbage dump.
Golden Azalea... Reynard...
The white and slender fist clenched suddenly and then slowly loosened, then clenched again, and repeated this several times in a row, and finally completely loosened.
After staring at the two badges for a long time, Emma exhaled faintly, walked to the flower bed with heavy steps, and picked up the Baohua badge with a dented corner from the garbage.
Be calm.
Rather than dwelling on the past, the most important thing is to cherish the people in front of you, don't look at what you have lost, and cherish what you still have...
When Leon carried me out of the dead world, I had already made up my mind to try to put aside the hatred in my heart for Ellie and work hard to welcome a new life.
But...
After her fingers unconsciously exerted a little force and pinched the huge copper badge slightly, Emma's teeth still sank into her pale lower lip, leaving a small row of deep tooth marks.
Why am I still so unwilling!
…
“Stand still!”
After helping William and Melanie tidy up their clothes and straightening the crooked clothes, Anna squinted and reminded them:
“Did you remember what I told you before?”
“I remember.”
After adjusting his bow tie, William calmly repeated:
“Say hello to Aunt Emma when you see her, wish her a happy birthday when you see Sister Ellie, don’t mess around and embarrass your brother, don’t break other people’s things…”
“Most importantly, don’t mention your dream of ruling the world!”
After adding a sentence, Anna turned her head to look at Melanie, who was spinning around and happily swinging her skirt. Lanny stressed with some concern:
"Don't even mention your dream of being a parasite!"
"I know, I know!"
After hearing her sister's special instructions, Melanie in front of the mirror couldn't help but pout and complained with an unbearable look:
"There are only a few agreements in total. You have been talking about them from yesterday until now. Have we memorized them?"
"It's best to memorize them!"
After glaring at Melanie, who was the most worrying, Anna slowed down her tone and said:
"Since the eldest brother started working, Sister Emma has helped him a lot, and she is also my lifesaver... Well... In short, she is the benefactor of our family. You must respect her, and you are not allowed to bully Ellie!"
"We won't."
After arranging the children's bow tie on his chest, William nodded with satisfaction, and then said seriously:
"My eldest brother said that people can lose money in life, but they can't lose their conscience. After being helped by others, they must keep this in mind. I have always remembered this sentence. Although I don't know if Melanie can do it, I can definitely do it."
"I... Of course I can do it!"
After discovering that Anna's eyes were staring at her, Melanie, who sensed the danger, quickly frowned and imitated William's serious look, raised her hand and swore:
"If I make trouble today, or make sister Ellie cry, then... Then I will give all my pocket money this year to William!"
Is it so decisive?
Hearing that Melanie actually made such a "poisonous oath", Anna finally felt relieved a little and went out to call a carriage, while William couldn't help but glance at his sister.
Since she had no talent for math and only scored 5 points in the last quiz, all the pocket money and other things involving numbers were taken by her, who proclaimed herself as the future chancellor of the empire.
Now Melanie suddenly swore with her pocket money. Was she preparing to use her own pocket money for the whole year if she got into trouble today?
