Chapter 22
"What's the latest situation now? The Mons who lured Fen into the game can't be found, so there is no other way? Do you know how the stakeholders reacted to the most urgent copies of the lost documents?" Bai Tongtong didn't ask the victim. Regarding Mr. Galty's situation, he must be busy working with his boss to find a way to make up for the loss.

"No, we don't know these things. Now things are spreading in the circle, and there are already rumors that the marriage of the two families may be cancelled." Mr. Swift, the housekeeper, shook his head sadly.

"Then, will the marriage be cancelled?" Bai Tongtong continued to ask, there must be something to talk about, otherwise she would impatiently lift the table while sitting here lifeless.

The butler, Mr. Swift, the cook, Mrs. Blue, and the inferior maids, Delly and Laurie, all looked at Bai Tongtong in horror. After getting along with each other for so long, everyone has developed a good relationship. No one wants to see such a result.

"No, we don't know, the masters and wives of the two families are still talking, but Mrs. Galty's... oh..." The cook remembered something, straightened her body, and drooped her shoulders helplessly. sigh.

"Mrs. Galty is a strong woman?" Bai Tongtong raised her eyebrows.

The four servants nodded together, all of them had headaches when they thought about it.

"Is it unreasonable?"

The four servants looked at each other, and Delly made a sound as if she was being strangled, and glanced at the kitchen door first, "It's reasonable."

"How reasonable is it?"

"The cancellation of the marriage is what she said first. She has been saying that she opposed the marriage of the two families at the beginning. The *** family can't climb up to their Gaerti family. It is because of the matchmaking of their lord, Faseas. Yes. She has always had this attitude, there is nothing else, let alone ugly hysteria." Delly spoke super fast, and she had never noticed her eloquence so sharply before.

"What's Madam ***'s attitude?"

The expression of the four servants suddenly became more weird, and finally Mr. Swift, the housekeeper, coughed lightly, "Mrs. *** said that if Mr. Galty hadn't kept the key, how could Fern get the chance? Fern is not a waiter. His, it was difficult to get the keys close to him, so he must have thrown them around."

"Ah?!" Bai Tongtong was shocked.

The servants kept nodding, they were already shocked, and they felt normal to Bai Tongtong's reaction, "That's right, that's what Madam *** said."

"Ma'am, this is simply nonsense. Compared with Mrs. Galty who canceled the marriage, she is more reasonable." Just based on the recitation, Bai Tongtong had a first impression of the two heads of the family.

"Mrs. *** doesn't want to call off the marriage." Mr. Swift, the housekeeper, gave another big news.

Bai Tongtong felt dizzy, "Why?"

"I heard from Ms. Seiya that in terms of family power, it is true that the Galti family has a closer relationship with the lord. The *** family belongs to the kind that lacks ability and can only earn enough food and clothing. This Mr. Galty is not the eldest son. , and far away in our Fort Chemington, no title and no money, it is no problem for him to marry a daughter of a middle-class family or a small nobleman to live a well-off life with his own ability. But I don’t know what happened in the middle, and finally became Please ask Feng Jun to come forward to match and provide a generous dowry, so that Miss Seiya can come to Fort Chamington to get married." Mr. Swift, the housekeeper, told him everything he knew.

"So Mrs. Galty, who was dissatisfied with this marriage, took the opportunity to propose canceling the marriage." Bai Tongtong finally understood what was going on, "What about the men? Do you know what the attitude of the two patriarchs is now?"

"I really don't know about this." Seiya will confide a lot of things when he is emotional, but men may not be sure. Besides, the negotiations are all with Mr. Galty. It is really difficult for the servants who serve Seiya to know too much information.

"Okay, the grievances are all clear, I know what to say when I see Seiya when I look back, the most urgent task now is to find a way to find that guy named Mengsi, this pseudonym is very particular, it sounds like a decent person. "

"Yes, that's what Fern said. She looks like a well-mannered and educated young man." Mr. Swift, the housekeeper, recalled the situation at that time. Hearing what Fern said, "Oh, Miss Bai, you weren't there, and I didn't see Fern's expression, as if he was obsessed with that man. The magistrate felt strange, and asked the same question several times, and Fern became confused. .”

Bai Tongtong couldn't help but glanced at Lauley, who twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, but remained calm. As a husband, his wife's abnormality must be noticed, but the final result was beyond anyone's expectation.

Sighing, Bai Tongtong concentrated and returned to the main topic. The more the butler and the others talked, the more detailed she understood. Commercial espionage ordered others to steal confidential documents and destroy family happiness. This matter cannot be left alone.

"Since we are already investigating, let's wait for the official news first. It's useless for us to be anxious. Since those confidential documents involve business with Mrs. Hope, she will definitely not sit idly by. After all, if the person who bought the information uses those documents , maybe her business will be affected." Bai Tongtong thought for a while before saying so.

"But what about the marriage? From Mrs. Galty's point of view, it seems that it must be dissolved." The servants are worried about this. If the marriage is cancelled, they will lose their jobs. Mr. Galty, who is single, does not need so many people to serve him.

"It's normal for her to want to cancel it. A few days before the wedding, the daughter-in-law's personal maid stole the key and stole the confidential documents kept by her son. The loss will not be counted for the time being. I don't know if the job can be kept." Now, if she is dismissed and kicked out of Fort Chamington, there is no need to make a fuss. In order to protect the interests of her family, it is not surprising that Mrs. Galty makes any decision." Bai Tongtong leaned on the back of the chair and stretched.

The housekeeper and the others remained uneasy and kept complaining to Fen in their hearts. If it wasn't for this fool, they would still be busy preparing for the upcoming wedding.

"It's getting dark, Mrs. Blue, think about what we have for dinner tonight. Can the room I lived in before, Delly, be able to sleep?" It was still Bai Tongtong who broke the silence, she was hungry.

Everyone came back to their senses and got up to do their work.

The family members and relatives of the *** family who came to watch the ceremony live in a hotel not far away. Seiya’s small house can’t accommodate her family. Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise the current incident will make the family lose peace. Don't try to rest well.

Seya slept very deeply. The next morning, Bai Tongtong came back from running in the morning, and finally saw her coming downstairs in neat clothes, but her expression was still exhausted and haggard, listless, her eyes were swollen, and she was slightly stunned when she saw Bai Tongtong on the stairs. It took a while to react, and rushed down quickly, ignoring the smell of sweat on the opponent's body, hugged him tightly, and then Bai Tongtong heard sobbing in his ear.

Bai Tongtong hugged poor Seiya silently, stroking her back with his right hand up and down to help her soothe her emotions, because there are still many questions to ask her.

Dai Li also came to help, and helped Bai Tongtong to the restaurant. After Fen was imprisoned, Dai Li took up the job of a personal maid.

Mr. Swift, the housekeeper, brought breakfast, but Bai Tongtong was the only one eating. Seya put down the spoon after taking a few mouthfuls of oatmeal.

Bai Tongtong didn't talk about the serious topic at the dinner table, she only told Seya some interesting things about the school, made her smile, and relaxed, since the thing happened, the loss was irreversible, so she had to cheer up and deal with the aftermath.

Interrupted by Bai Tongtong who never talked about business, Seiya was finally distracted by her and immersed in the interesting stories of the Magic and Martial Arts Academy, but the relaxing leisure time is always very short. The noise of a group of people came, and soon, Delly appeared in the restaurant with a group of people.

The two people at the dining table got up immediately, and Seiya introduced each other to each other. The group of people who came was a married couple, Seiya's three sisters, brother-in-law, a younger sister and only younger brother.

After learning of Bai Tongtong's identity, the *** family originally had expressions of contempt on their faces, but the second half of Seiya's words eased their expressions. Bai Tongtong is now in Menis Mowu. The academy acts as a bodyguard for the young lady of Viscount Drago's family.

Seiya did not receive these educations in the School of Etiquette in vain. She knows how to express herself more skillfully in front of her parents and family, so as not to let them express their opinions on Bai Tongtong's appearance. She urgently needs her company, even if her mother and sister They can't be replaced.

The dining room was not a place to talk, a group of people moved to the living room, Bai Tongtong went back to the bedroom first to change out of the sweaty and cold underwear, tidied himself up before going down to listen to what they were talking about.

There was a lot of noise in the living room, Seiya was sitting on a single armchair, with his right elbow resting on the armrest and his chin resting on the back of his hand, listening to his family's accusations against his fiancé's family in a decadent manner.

If the marriage contract is cancelled, it will be very bad for Seiya's future. It will be difficult for her to engage in another marriage in the short term, not to mention that the interests of the *** family will also be damaged. Originally, it is not an important position in front of Fengjun. If it continues to decline, there will be no turning back Here's the chance.

But the *** family is unwilling to lower their noble heads in order to keep the marriage contract, especially since the two families have the same baron status, no one is more noble than the other, the *** family thinks that the marriage contract should be canceled just because of a stolen maid, The Galti family was too unkind, ignoring the face of Viscount Phaseas.

After Bai Tongtong walked into the living room, he stuck to the wall and slowly moved to Seiya's side. The quarrelsome members of the family did not pay attention to her. In the end, Bai Tongtong stood by the heavy curtain and held hands, listening to the chaotic sentence. Full of gossip and gossip.

The reason why the *** family must keep the marriage contract is that apart from the interests of the family itself, there is also a more practical issue. The dowry of Seiya was converted into gold coins by the Viscount Phaseas. It was spent on necessary expenses such as wedding dresses and jewelry one after another. If the marriage failed, the money would definitely be returned to the Viscount to cover the annual income of the family. How could it be concluded that they would not have any other means of making money , I hope that the daughters can marry well and take care of their natal family.

But as poor as their family is, those from better-off families don’t look at them seriously, and the three daughters finally married only a little better than their mother’s family, so Seiya’s sudden happy event is the top priority of the family, but right now But suddenly it was in jeopardy.

No matter how much they yelled at Fern at home, they couldn't turn back the clock, and they refused to bow down to Mrs. Galty and beg her not to call off the marriage, so things stalled.

The wedding is just around the corner, and the Galti family has made a lot of preparations for the wedding. If they really want to cancel their family, they will directly lose a lot of money, but in the long run, it is still worth it. There is nothing like the second son taking root in Fort Chemington Establishing a career is more important, and it is also for the benefit of one's own family.

Both families have the most important family interests. In comparison, the Galti family has the upper hand. Besides, they were dissatisfied with the marriage, so they just seized the opportunity to make a fuss. By the way, even if the marriage is really called off , Baron Galti also had sufficient reasons to confess the past in front of Viscount Faseas, and in the end it was the *** family who lost the most.

After figuring out the situation of the conflict of interests, Bai Tongtong was impatient to hear about these family affairs. She needed to know Fen's complete testimony, understand the current progress of the case, and find out the guy who set up the trap as soon as possible.

Bai Tongtong flashed out from behind the curtain, walked towards Seiya's armchair, knelt down and whispered a few words with her.

I have to talk about the business that I have not mentioned at breakfast.

The consequences of the theft of confidential documents involve Viscount Hope's family business. The old lady, a strong woman, will definitely intervene in order to minimize her possible future losses. Find all the documents of the case, and maybe find some clues from them.

Seya thinks it makes sense, but she can't go to Viscount Hope's mansion by herself, her father and old lady have to come forward. The baron rejected it, and his mother, sister, and husband also disagreed. They thought that Viscount Hope's family was angry now, and they were from Galty's side, so they would not help them.

Bai Tongtong looked at the idiots of this family with discouragement, and did not take any measures to save it, only caring about how to keep this marriage, for fear of losing it faster.

Of course, since they were not in a hurry, Bai Tongtong didn't bother to meddle in other people's affairs, just being a reliable spiritual support would do.

In fact, if she wants to intervene, there is still a way. After the celebration of the 190th anniversary of the School of Magic and Martial Arts ends today, Ai Ni will come back early tomorrow morning at the latest. Since the *** family is unwilling to actively think of a way, then she will try Find an accommodation with Aini and Viscount Drago, spend a little money to get a copy of the testimony, and see what it says.

Bai Tongtong licked her lips. This is her favorite city and she wants to settle down for a long time. There are bad guys who want to beat people around her, but they are looking for death.

 This is today's update, see you tomorrow~
