Alien landlady

Chapter 8 Generous Rewards
Bai Tongtong greeted his wife and saluted.

Madam nodded slightly to her assistant, who immediately put down the letter paper in his hand, turned around and took out a small purse and a ring box from the cabinet behind him.

"Miss Bai, thank you very much for today. Please thank Mr. Galti for me. I also want to thank him for his recommendation."

"It's a great honor to be able to serve you, madam." Bai Tongtong used what she learned yesterday.

The assistant handed over the reward to Bai Tongtong, and bowed to her as a token of gratitude.

Bai Tongtong accepted it, the small purse contained several gold coins, and the ring box contained a space ring with larger gemstones, still yellow in color, and seemed to be of better quality.

"Ma'am?" Today is so dangerous, it is reasonable for the employer to give a few more gold coins to show his gratitude, but adding a magic ring will make the reward more expensive. Bai Tongtong probably just digs out this gem and sells it. It's worth a lot of gold coins.

"Miss Bai, the gold coin is to thank you for your company. To be honest, your original intention is just in case, and I don't really expect you to be of any help. But today you have performed again and again, let me know, I I can't treat you badly, or my surname and title will be insulted."

"Thank you Madam for your generosity." Bai Tongtong was no longer polite, took out the ring and put it on his left middle finger, and threw the box, money bag and the space bag in his pocket into the ring.

"Miss Bai, your name will be known to more people after today. With me as your guarantee, you will have many job opportunities, and I can see that Miss Bai is a tight-lipped and reliable person. Your excellent qualities will be very popular. Favored."

The meaning of Mrs. Hope's words was so straightforward that she couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb. Bai Tongtong raised her right hand and swore to the god of mercenaries that all mercenaries believed in. Sell ​​out information about any employer.

Bai Tongtong was a little excited. Mrs. Hope was willing to vouch for her, a stranger who couldn't do a background check, so that she could settle down in Fort Chamington safely. She wanted to ruin her own job and spend a lot of money just today because of her brain damage. The reputation built at the expense.

Mrs. Hope finally had a smile on her face, but she also showed a little tiredness at the same time. Bai Tongtong didn't ask anything, thanked her again and left.

Downstairs, the steward had prepared a carriage for her, and the knights were waiting beside the carriage to say goodbye to her and express their gratitude.

This necessary interpersonal communication was delayed for some time, and when the coachman took Bai Tongtong to her new address where she started to live tonight, it was too late.

Bai Tongtong gave the coachman a little tip, and Laurie ran out from the porter's hut, shouting to thank my lord.

In the house, the servants warmly welcome Bai Tongtong back home intact, but Seiya is not here, today is a Sunday rest day, she will stay with her fiancé all day, and will not come back until after dinner.

Of course, Fern went out with Seiya, which made Bai Tongtong unconsciously relieved. She was tired enough today, and she didn't want to hear anything unpleasant from Fern's mouth. She preferred Galti to serve Seya. words of comfort from the servants.

Seya has two servants, a man and a woman, and Galty added a butler, a cook, and a low-level maid in charge of cleaning, washing, and other rough jobs. Fern is still her personal maid, and Laurie has done it. porter and coachman.

The maid brought Bai Tongtong the face wash and helped her change out of the maid outfit and put on loose home clothes and soft-soled slippers. Lauley had already gone to Mr. Galty's house at No. 257 to inform them of this.

When Bai Tongtong was sitting in the kitchen drinking honey water and watching the cook prepare dinner, Laurie came back with a message, and Mr. Galty invited Miss Bai over to have dinner.

Bai Tongtong saw that she had changed her clothes, and when she thought of Fen's face, she didn't want to move. In order to let Seiya take a bath, she and Fen had completely formed a relationship. After all, it destroyed their religious beliefs all the time. , This is a greater hatred than murder, so it is better to avoid it.

It was also for this reason that when Seiya invited her to live with her, she was reluctant, but in the end she couldn't resist Seya's kindness.

Lauley and everyone are trying to persuade Bai Tongtong to go, after all, Seiya has just written her a letter, and even though she knows that she is safe and well, one has to see it with one's own eyes to be truly relieved.

Hearing what everyone said, Bai Tongtong had no choice but to go upstairs to change clothes again, and walked slowly towards No. 257 at a walking pace.

Mr. Galty's home is ready. Originally, the dinner dishes are prepared according to the standard of a small dinner party. One extra guest will not increase the workload of the kitchen much.

Bai Tongtong was led to the living room by the housekeeper, Mr. Frish. The setting sun slanted into the room, casting a layer of golden-red light. Seiya was sitting on the armchair under the window, and a man with dark brown curly hair and big back was standing. Beside her armrest, holding a book in her hand, as if she was reading a poem, Seiya looked at him sweetly, listened carefully, and smiled gently, and the man also responded with a short pause in each section A gentle glance.

The door of the living room was open, and the servants would not disturb me without reason. Mr. Frish walked in quietly with Bai Tongtong. Seeing this warm scene, both of them looked at each other and smiled.

Mr. Housekeeper coughed lightly, interrupting the sweet atmosphere. Seya turned his head and saw Bai Tongtong standing there. He shouted joyfully, jumped up and opened his arms and threw himself at her. The two girls hugged each other tightly. Together.

"You scared me to death. I heard that there was an attack on the funeral, and you haven't come back. I had to write a letter to ask about your situation. It spread all over the city." Saiya was so excited that she lost everything. When she heard She had nearly fainted at the time of the incident, terrified to think that she was about to lose a friend.

"Okay, Seiya, calm down, I'm standing here right now, take a deep breath, relax, the host who invited me to be a guest is still waiting, don't you mind giving me some time to say hello? Bai Tongtong patted Seiya's shoulder with a smile on his face.

Seya immediately took two steps back with a blushing face, led Bai Tongtong towards her fiancé, and introduced them to each other.

Mr. Galty is only a young man in his early twenties, gentle and polite. Of course, Bai Tongtong would like to thank him for his recommendation and express his gratitude to Mrs. Hope.

After exchanging thanks and thanking each other, they finally got to the point.

Bai Tongtong first stated that she promised Mrs. Hope to keep it secret, so she couldn't tell the details of the process, but could only tell them that the battle was quite fierce.

Both Mr. Galty and Seiya expressed their understanding. Mr. Galty also told Bai Tongtong that for outsiders, what is interesting is not the process of fighting, but the result.

Speaking of the result, Bai Tongtong really wanted to ask about Viscount Hope's background, why the wife was attacked at the Viscount's funeral, and he hired her just in case he knew that something might happen. It seemed that the whole family knew the possibility There will be accidents, even who will do it if the wife is attacked.

Mr. Galty sighed, and told a helpless story that happened in an ordinary and mediocre noble family.

His Excellency Viscount Hope had an accident ten years ago when he was hunting on horseback. He fell from a horse and was injured and paralyzed from the waist down. His hands also lost basic functions, and he was unable to eat and drink by himself.At that time, the youngest daughter in the family was still a toddler in her arms, and the eldest son was already an energetic teenager.

After the viscount was injured, the lady supported the family business and managed the real estate manor and derivative businesses under her name. She showed her outstanding business skills and made the family wealth grow year by year. Now she is one of the rich nobles in the city. Gail Mr. Faseas, whom Mr. Ti works for, is actually related to Mrs. Hope's business.

When the wife is busy working like a man all day long, it is inevitable that she neglects the education of the children. The originally sensible and well-behaved eldest son met bad friends outside, and gradually turned into a nightmare for the family. His monthly personal expenses exceeded His younger siblings’ pocket money for a year, the family’s non-stop payment of various bills for him, settling his troubles outside, and enduring rumors and gossips inside and outside the circle, the family has long been exhausted and exhausted.

Mr. Galty knew more gossip because of his work. He told Bai Tongtong that the eldest son's bad behavior had forced Mrs. Hope to consider depriving the eldest son of his inheritance.This process is not easy, and an application needs to be submitted to the noble court. If there is not enough evidence to convince the judge, the application will be rejected.

"Your Excellency the Viscount was paralyzed for ten years. Although his family took good care of him, his health continued to deteriorate year after year. He finally passed away a few days ago, and the eldest son made a fuss at home half a month ago and took the money and never went back. Mr. Galty sighed again and again.

"So, today's attack on the lady may be done by the eldest son? After the death of the father, regardless of whether the eldest son has committed serious misconduct, he is a new generation of Viscount Hope, but the power of property is still in the hands of the mother. After the death of the mother, Only he can truly own all the family property." Bai Tongtong made a reasonable guess, "He is afraid that his mother will transfer the property to his younger siblings, which is understandable, but is it necessary to attack his mother at the funeral?"

"Because the lady will be outside during the funeral, it will be easier to get her. Besides, didn't you just say that the attackers were a group of trained fighters." After talking so much in one breath, Mr. Galty said slowly after drinking a few sips of water, "I don't know who this new Viscount is with outside and what he usually does, but Mrs. Hope must know that with such a son, the whole family will be ashamed."

"If it was true that a son hired a murderer to attack his mother at his father's funeral, the tragedy of human relations would not be enough to describe." Bai Tongtong finally knew the story behind today's incident, and his curiosity was satisfied, "Mrs. , although the beating was brutal, but I can guarantee that I left at least one alive, as for the other, I don’t know whether it is dead or alive. But these things are not for me to inquire about.”

"But if it's true, Madam will be very sad." Sai Ya said sadly.

Both Bai Tongtong and Mr. Galty could only helplessly shrug their shoulders, but she immediately changed the topic to Mrs. Hope's guarantee for her, and told them the origin of the space ring in her hand. The mood also cleared up.

"Great, with Madam's guarantee, you can settle down, Tongtong."

"Oh, I just hope that I won't be given such a dangerous job in the short term." Bai Tongtong touched his face with a look of fear, "Today is really enough."

Mr. Galty and Seiya laughed together, "No, you will have a good time with the ladies."

When it was getting dark, the three of them moved to the restaurant, where Mr. Frish was serving, the cook was very good at cooking, Bai Tongtong had a great time eating, and Mr. Galty introduced some information about his social circle , and then his coachman drove the ladies back to rest, and Seiya would come over to have breakfast with his fiancé tomorrow morning.

Seya has been out all day. In the morning, Mr. Galty took her to the church in the parish and introduced her to the priest and some people in the parish. This is considered to have officially brought her into his circle. , Seiya will go to etiquette school, meet new friends, participate in girls' social activities, she will be very, very busy, more fulfilling than in her hometown.

And Bai Tongtong just wanted to sleep in tomorrow.

When she was lying on the comfortable big bed specially arranged for her, with mattresses and down pillows, she was relaxing and drowsy, and she was still planning in a daze, don't forget to put her old clothes Give it a good wash.
