Chapter 745

~7 min read 1,328 words

After noticing the newly cleared open space behind the garden, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's brows could not help but wrinkle subconsciously.

The vast majority of the Precious Flower family's property had already been confiscated six years ago, except for this manor built by the first king, which was not recycled because of its extremely special significance.

So even if she moved to the small wooden house in the corner of the garden with her daughter because she didn't want to remember those sad memories and didn't want the two of them to live in the empty manor, this manor still nominally belonged to her, and no one should have trespassed.

Could it be that a thief has entered? But why would a thief spend effort to clear the open space?

With full of questions, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma pushed open the window and looked, finding that not only was the back of the garden where she and her daughter lived cleared, but even the carriage road between the front door and the main building seemed to have traces of being taken care of, and the gravel and weeds on the road had been cleared away.

Seven or eight very new carriage tracks were extending along the main road all the way to the front of the main building; the broken colored flower window on the first floor of the main building had been cleared away, and even the servant room with a slightly collapsed roof had been demolished; there were messy footprints everywhere in the flower bed in front of the main building.

This is... someone wants to move in?!

After looking at the messy footprints in the flower bed and a large amount of horse manure that had not been cleared away, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma could not help but bite her lip in annoyance.

Although she didn't care about this empty house, this manor was after all her home once, and she had lived here for a full twenty years; the person who came didn't even say hello and wanted to occupy it directly, which was truly not ordinary excessive.

"Ellie, tell Mom!"

After closing the back window somewhat annoyedly, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma tried hard to calm down and asked with a voice as gentle as possible:

"What's going on behind the garden? Who has been here these past few days?"

"These past few days... many uncles pushing ladders and holding tools have been here, and they also pushed down the big badge in the middle of the building and replaced it with a new badge."

After trying hard to recall, the little girl reached out and gestured:

"On that badge, there is a little bird with a sharp mouth, green feathers, and horizontal black and white stripes on its belly."

Sharp mouth, green feathers, horizontal black and white stripes on the belly... Golden Cuckoo badge?

After listening to the little girl's description, Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's face turned pale instantly, thinking of a possibility she could not accept, then she didn't even change her shoes, ran directly out of the small wooden house, climbed over the back wall of the garden and ran towards the main building.

After Auntie Auntie Ai Ma turned to the front and saw the front of the main building that she could not see from the small wooden house, and saw the pattern on the new badge clearly, her cheeks suddenly flushed red instantly, and in her eyes that were usually as gentle as water, a biting cold wind suddenly blew.

Golden Cuckoo badge!

That's right, she should have thought of it earlier; besides her, there is another person who has the qualification to move into the Precious Flower Manor!

Looking up at the curtain wall on the second floor of the main building, looking at the Golden Cuckoo badge flickering with emerald light in the sunset, Emma turned her head silently and found the badge belonging to the Precious Flower family in the flower bed used as a garbage dump on the side of the building.

Jin Juan... Lei Nade...

Her fair and slender fists clenched suddenly and then slowly loosened, and then clenched again, repeating this several times, and finally loosened completely.

After staring at the two badges for a long time, Emma exhaled faintly, walked to the side of the flower bed with heavy steps, and picked up the Precious Flower badge with a dented corner from the garbage dump.

Be calm.

Compared to indulging in the past, the most important thing is to cherish the people in front of you; don't look at what you have lost, cherish the things you still have...

When Leon carried her out of the Dead World, she had already made up her mind to try to put down the hatred in her heart for Ellie's sake and strive to welcome a new life.

But...

Her fingers subconsciously exerted a little force, pinching the huge copper badge until it deformed slightly, but Auntie Auntie Ai Ma's teeth still sank into her pale lower lip, biting out a small row of deep tooth marks. Why am I still so unwilling!

"Stand still and don't move!"

After helping William and Melanie tidy up their clothes and straightening their crooked little clothes, Anna reminded them with narrowed eyes:

"Have you remembered what I told you before?"

"Remembered."

After adjusting his little bow tie, William repeated calmly:

"Greet Aunt Auntie Auntie Ai Ma when you see her, wish Sister Ellie a happy birthday when you see her, don't mess around and lose face for Big Brother, don't break other people's things..."

"Most importantly, absolutely don't mention your dream of ruling the world!"

After adding a sentence, Anna turned to look at Melanie, who was spinning around and swinging her little skirt happily, and emphasized somewhat worriedly:

"You are also not allowed to mention your dream of being a rice worm!"

"Got it, got it!"

After hearing her sister's special instructions, Melanie in front of the mirror could not help but pout, complaining unbearably:

"There are only these few agreements in total; you have been nagging from yesterday until now, we have already memorized them, okay?"

"It's best if you have memorized them!"

After glaring at Melanie, who was the most troublesome, Anna slowed down her tone slightly:

"Since Big Brother joined the job, Sister Auntie Auntie Ai Ma has helped him a lot, and she is also my savior... hmm... in short, she is our family's benefactor; you must respect her, and you are not allowed to bully Ellie!"

"We won't."

After tidying up the children's bow tie on his chest, William nodded with satisfaction, then said seriously:

"Big Brother said that people can lose money while living, but they cannot lose their conscience. After being helped by others, you must firmly remember it in your heart. I have always remembered this sentence; although I don't know if Melanie can do it, I can definitely do it."

"I... I can certainly do it too!"

After discovering that Anna's gaze instantly glared over, Melanie, who sensed danger, hurriedly straightened her little face, learned William's serious appearance, raised her hand and swore:

"If I mess around today, or make Sister Ellie cry, then... then give all my pocket money this year to William!"

Is it that decisive?

After hearing Melanie actually make such a "poisonous oath," Anna finally felt slightly relieved and went out to call a carriage, while William could not help but glance sideways at his younger sister.

Because he really had no talent in mathematics, he only scored 5 points in the last small test, so things involving numbers like pocket money were taken away by her, who self-proclaimed to be the future Minister of Finance of the Empire.

Now that Melanie suddenly used pocket money to swear, could it be that she was preparing to sponge off his pocket money for a whole year if she caused trouble today?
