Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 50 The Village Lawyer
Hobert asked Penny: "Ms. Penny, for the sake of your future with Mr. Barron, I must make sure. Do you plan to divorce? Please answer seriously."

Penny thought for a few seconds before saying: "I am very grateful to Mr. Barron, and I feel deeply guilty towards him. I can only say that I don't hate him."

She smiled bitterly: "Although that family is not what I want, and Mr. Barron has always lost his temper in the past year, but I can feel the respect Mr. Barron has for me. Who wants to end such a marriage?"

"I understand." Hobert said: "Ma'am, please forgive me, your concealment at the beginning is doomed to plant the bitter fruit for this marriage today. In addition, I think Mr. Barron should know the matter the truth.

"Also, please end this marriage that has brought misfortune to both of you. It's meaningless to continue."

"I know." Penny looked at her child worriedly: "But, but..."

But she was born in an ordinary farm family, and she has no ability to protect this child at all, so she is afraid that after Baron learns the truth, the situation will completely out of her control.

Hobert comforted: "Trust me ma'am, we are all adults, no one will do anything to children, and neither will Mr. Barron."

He said: "Although Mr. Barron needs to know the truth, we must pay attention to the method. You cannot hold the child in front of Mr. Barron. It is the best way for me to tell Mr. Barron the truth."

Although it was the first time for Penny to meet the young lawyer in front of her, theoretically speaking, they should lack trust.But after hearing what he said, Penny felt that his words were very convincing, and it was indeed the best way now. If Penny really had to hold the child and tell Mr. Barron the truth, it would easily anger Mr. Barron .

"You're right." Penny said, "But you must protect Benny's safety."

Hobert said seriously: "I assure you, this is a matter between the two of you as adults, and it will not affect children."

He said: "I think the sooner this matter is dealt with, the better. There is a carriage from the law firm at the entrance of the village. How about we take Benny and set off immediately?"

Penny hesitated for a moment, but soon her eyes became firm again: "Okay."

"Wait!" Penny's father suddenly said to Penny with a mournful face, "Son, what if Mr. Barron gets angry? What if he..."

"Father," Penny said with a smile, "maybe this is my fate. Since it cannot be changed, why not take the initiative to meet it."

The old man shook his head: "No, no, I can't let my little Penny get hurt, I, I want to go together." After speaking, he found an ax and fastened it to his waist.

Just as Penny was about to dissuade her, Hobert smiled and said, "Okay, but you have to hold this ax well, so as not to scratch the seat of the carriage."

Penny said with some concern, "Mr. Lawyer..."

Hobert smiled and said, "You should understand a father's worries, just like you worry about Benny."

In fact, he suddenly thought of his father in the AD era. If he got into trouble that he couldn't solve, his father would probably do something similar to this old man.

After returning to the road, the carriage became a bit crowded. After all, it was just a two-wheeled carriage, but now there were three adults and one child.

It seemed that it was the first time for Benny to ride in this kind of carriage. He sat on Penny's lap and asked questions curiously.

When he learned that Hobert was a lawyer, Benny asked Hobert with his eyes wide open, "Are you the same as Upton who quarreled a lot?"

"It's different!" Penny said, "This uncle is a real lawyer!"

She smiled and explained to Hobert: "Upton is a young man in the village who always likes to argue with anyone he meets, but the strange thing is that he is very eloquent and never argues or quarrels. lost.

"Some people joked that it was a pity that he didn't become a lawyer, and gradually 'lawyer' became his nickname.

"But he doesn't seem to like this nickname very much. Once I saw someone call him 'lawyer', he turned pale with anger!"

The more Hobert listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "Did this young man named Upton have such a good eloquence since he was a child?"

Upton behaved very much like a "lawyer". After taking the "lawyer" potion, Hobert would also unknowingly argue with others.

After Xio inadvertently reminded him of this point, he tried his best to avoid arguing with others, so as not to expose his extraordinary ability and extraordinary approach.

I'm afraid it's not that Upton doesn't like the nickname "Lawyer", but that this nickname is the name of the potion he takes, and he didn't turn pale with anger, but after being told his secret by a group of ordinary villagers. , he turned pale with fright.

"I don't know." Penny said, "Upton and his mother moved here five years ago, they seem to be rich and bought a lot of land.

"Look, that house is their home!"

Hobert saw a two-story building with a rather idyllic scenery. In the countryside, this is definitely a mansion.

He guessed that Upton might be a wild "lawyer", so he chatted with Penny about the Upton family, and learned that Upton's father had died ten years ago, and Upton's mother had died. Has not been very good, also passed away last year.

Upton and a servant live in that big courtyard now.

After learning this information, Hobert already had the idea of ​​finding time to find out.

He didn't intend to hurt Upton, he was just curious where Upton's potion came from?

After driving for more than half an hour, the carriage arrived at the gate of Mr. Barron's farm.

In the stable again, Hobert saw Mr. Barron bathing a big white horse.
