Chapter 192 Dear Father-in-law
Seeing the embarrassment on Wayne's face, Xifei couldn't help but prepare for the worst, and said bluntly: "Did that bitch try to trick you? Tell me how she bullied you, and I'll go find her to settle the score."
"The teacher was joking. After all, she is the high priest of a church and represents the highest authority in the Windsor District. With her status here, she will not forcefully use tricks on me." Wayne said.
"That's trouble!"
Xifei's face grew colder: "I know your character, and gratitude is the most important thing in repaying a favor. I'm not afraid of her being tough, I'm afraid she's being soft."
Teacher, you are so smart, why did you end up being deceived into the grave by the garbage of society?
Wayne complained in his heart that Heaphy's mind was definitely not related to stupid. She had to have means and brains. She was a standard strong woman, but she stumbled over Auston. .
The Church of Nature has a high priest like you, and several other churches in Windsor…
Oh, the Moonlight Church is also rich in love-brained high priests. No one is better than anyone else. Every opponent is evenly matched.
That’s okay!
"Anyway, be careful. She knows you are of the original bloodline and will definitely not give up!"
Suddenly, she thought of something else and said: "Be careful about her beauty. You are still young and most people only look at their appearance. Don't mistakenly think that she is a good person just because she is beautiful. I am not afraid to tell you that she is eight years old." She’s ten years old, old enough to be your grandmother.”
"..."
Eighty is an exaggeration, half is not even close.
"Wayne, talk!"
"Teacher, you know me. I have always been very resistant to beauty, and..."
Wayne was speechless: "She is the high priest. Even if she had such an idea, she would not be able to do it herself. Most of the time, she would arrange for the people below to carry out the plan."
That’s right!
Heaphy nodded and asked Wayne to find Veronica after chatting with Auston, and gave him a tutorial on the strategy.
Let Wayne feel free to charge boldly, and don't be afraid of being beaten by Veronica. She knows her daughter too well. The harder she beats her, the more she likes it. The ones she really hates, she doesn't even bother to look at her face.
Xifei left quickly, and the romance between the student and her daughter was slow and not at all young.
It was not easy for her to push her in this regard, so she could only protect her first, in case the Moonlight Church was not a good person and felt the need to meet Philomena.
Having said that, the two churches are allies of each other. After Philomena arrived in Lundan, she had not yet come to congratulate her, so she took this opportunity to make her words clear.
She didn't want to pursue the past matters, but now Wayne was her student and had received the seal of the Church of Nature, so she hoped some flies wouldn't bring trouble upon themselves.
…
study.
Meghan stood at the door, opposite the aggressive eldest lady. She sighed, still saying the same thing.
It's about the future of the family. Miss, please wait a moment.
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Veronica's fists clenched after she finished speaking.
Every injustice has its own owner, and every debt has its own owner. This fist can only hit Wayne.
In the study room.
Wayne raised his chest and raised his head to show off his medals. Auston rolled his eyes and lost the mood to play with ancient silver coins. He stood up unsteadily, pushed open the bookcase compartment, and showed off his medals and trophies.
The entire wall was covered with medals and certificates for being re-elected as Mayor of the Financial City, which was prominently placed in the middle.
Young people, open your eyes and see clearly, this is called status.
Wayne's Knight Commander's Medal, which Auston also had, was worthless and he didn't bother to display it, so he not only put it in the corner, but also put it in a box.
Wayne silently took off the medal on his chest, not understanding what was going on in the world. He was obsessed with fame and fortune, trapped himself in a cocoon and burdened by fame and fortune, and eventually became a victim of fame and fortune.
Hurry up and wake up. The so-called medal is just a curse from the Queen. If you really wear it, you will be fooled.
Wayne didn't say these words, and kept looking at Auston, hoping that he would find his way back and figure it out on his own.
After showing off his achievements in the first half of his life, Auston sat on the sofa and played with ancient silver coins: "Not all the Tulip family are here today. The ones who are absent are the Patino family. Apart from the magicians, most of the rest of their family are painters and writers. Because of Orb, it is currently under comprehensive review.”
"What did the Queen say? You have received the task of setting up an investigation team?" Wayne's eyes lit up and he sensed a business opportunity.
Although his status as the heir of the Landau family has made him unable to bear the burden of being rich, money is a bastard, and he is so good-looking, so naturally the more good things the better.
"Princess Elizabeth is in charge of the Patino family's investigation team, and it's not our Tulip family's turn." Auston glanced at Wayne and saw the disappointment on his face, and couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth.
Yes, he did it on purpose.
"Alston, about this Princess Elizabeth..."
Wayne struggled for a moment. Although it was a coincidence, the names were too similar. Is it possible that this princess would become the next queen?
"Don't do stupid things, the purpose is too strong!" Auston warned.
Wayne rolled his eyes, really misunderstanding him, at least this time.
"The princess has a fiancé, and they have a very good relationship and cannot tolerate a third party." Auston warned again, letting the little trash can save his worries and not get him into big trouble.
"I understand, let's continue talking about the investigation team. Which piece of cake did you get?"
"There are two pieces."
Auston looked at his desk, asked Wayne to bring the map, and said meaningfully: "The so-called country is actually the same as the human body. If you don't check it, nothing will happen. If you check it, something will happen. Maybe nothing will happen, but sooner or later something will happen."
The shelf is so big!
Wayne took the map and placed it in front of Auston. He looked at the two red circles marked on the map and listened patiently to Auston's philosophy of life.
I have to admit that Old Trashcan has been punched for a few more years than him, and is indeed a little better than him in some aspects.
"Regardless of other identities, Orb is the Deputy Minister of Magic. For this reason alone, many people are willing to get close to him."
Auston pointed at the map and said: "The Gene and Snow families are not Tulip families, but they are hereditary nobles. They once owned their own territories. After becoming new nobles, they still maintained the dignity of the nobles with the help of their ancestors' resources. "
"There are many similar nobles. The Queen doesn't want to see them behave decently, so let the Tulip family help them behave decently..."
Auston said a lot. To give a brief summary, the Queen has to settle accounts, the Ministry of Magic also has to settle accounts, and the Tulip family also has accounts to settle. Deputy Minister Orb and the Patino family alone are simply not enough.
In this case, some nobles who were close to or had contact with Orb were unlucky.
It can’t be said that it’s unlucky. When you reach a certain height, who doesn’t have stains on their body?
The queen is kind and noble, and she wears white gloves. She will not target those former nobles, but the people below are different. There are many interpretations of orders. Misunderstandings by the people below will inevitably lead to ambiguity. .
Because of the ambiguity, these families who are close to Orb were invited to participate in a game. The name of the game is simple and crude-the whole family is happy.
Auston spoke very tactfully and misunderstood the Queen's meaning throughout the whole process, but Wayne understood it immediately and couldn't help but said: "Is our Windsor really a constitutional monarchy? It sounds so feudal!"
"They were exposed to magic, and the wizarding world never reformed!"
"..."
Wayne nodded, understanding.
Indeed, there has never been any reform in the magical world. It has always been religious beliefs and pyramids. No matter how much they are modified, they cannot hide the fact that there are clear hierarchies.
Since these families have chosen to enter the magical world, they must abide by the rules of the magical world.
"You are a smart man. I won't say much more. I can only say that how you understand the Queen's order depends on your personal point of view and has nothing to do with the Queen's original intention." Auston reminded.
Because he is the head of the family, Wayne's understanding is his understanding and has nothing to do with the Queen's original intention.
Wayne understood the deep meaning of the words, and was a little excited for a moment. Since someone was wiping his butt, he would not be polite to misinterpret the queen's order.
"Don't go too far. These families also have their own friends and blood relatives. No one has a few relatives." Auston educated: "You think those are sins, but they don't think so, because they themselves are not clean either. That’s fine, don’t offend too many people.”
Wayne nodded and accepted the instruction. If he understood, he would restrain himself a little.
"Similarly, some sins are so big that no one dares to look at them. In this case, you can use the topic to your advantage and do whatever you want." The corners of Auston's lips curled up.
Yes, he did it on purpose.
Wayne rolled his eyes: "So, dear father-in-law, there has to be a limit to what crimes should be tolerated and what crimes should be investigated, right?"
"..."
"Auston?"
"unimportant."
Auston said with a dark face: "There is no limit to the means. The key lies in the results obtained by using the means and the price you are willing to pay for the results."
Wayne didn't quite understand and wanted to ask more questions.
Auston waved his hand and didn't want to analyze it in depth. He had promised to bear the cost, how to use the means, and what results were obtained. These are the things that Wayne should worry about.
"You choose one of these two places."
"Just one?"
"..."
Auston's face was expressionless, giving one was for cultivation, giving two was purely a disease, he couldn't wipe so many butts.
Wayne was thick-skinned, smiled extraordinarily innocently, and looked intently at the two red dots on the map.
After a moment, he raised his hand and pointed at the Snow family. It’s just him, close to the sea!
"The investigation team will be accompanied by the secretary of the Ministry of Magic. I will say hello to you and go back to prepare. We will set off in the next two days. You must be fast, otherwise you will not catch anything." Auston Give an order to Wayne to get out of here.
It's annoying to look at!
He just couldn't figure out why his wife and daughter would fall in love with such a bastard. What's wrong with him!
And those bastards outside have all the evidence on their faces, so they insist on talking about illegitimate children!
"Meghan, bring Monica over here."
The more Auston thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He ordered through the soundproof barrier and decided to vent his anger on the black cat.
Wayne shrugged, stood up and left the study. When he opened the door, he saw Megan's back.
Wuyu curled his lips, what was the meaning of the soundproof barrier?
As soon as I turned my head and saw Veronica, I immediately understood the meaning.
Veronica's eyes shone fiercely, and she stiffly hooked her fingers, asking Wayne to follow her to a quiet corner to talk alone.
Wayne put on the medal and was about to nod when he looked behind Veronica in surprise: "Teacher, why are you so angry? Are you looking for Auston?"
Veronica unclenched her clenched fists, turned around with an obedient expression, and happily waited for the human cannon to be staged at close range.
Although she didn't know what happened, she was in a bad mood today and wanted to see domestic violence.
Turning around, Veronica was stunned. The corridor was empty, not a soul in sight.
Turning around again, Wayne was nowhere to be seen.
"Asshole, stop!"
Veronica was furious, angry, furious, and she sped up and rushed straight to the end of the corridor, smelling the smell of social garbage in the air, and chased after her.
…
Young Master's Villa.
Master bedroom bathroom.
Wayne hummed a tune, put the bath water in, and slowly took off his clothes.
Just as he was about to lie down in the bathtub, he thought for 0.25 seconds and decisively picked up the bath towel and wrapped it around his waist.
Five seconds later, Veronica jumped through the window and jumped into the master bedroom. With fierce eyes, she followed the smell into the bathroom.
She took a cautious look, saw the bath towel, and immediately lost her fear. She stepped into the bathtub and jumped on it.
Raise your fist and hit!
Not hit.
Wayne caught the fist with one hand and covered his face with the other. He said in a negotiating tone: "Wait a minute, I'll wash it off before you hit me. I haven't put on my clothes yet, so this isn't good."
"What does it matter? It's not like I haven't seen it before!"
"You actually saw it."
Wayne opened his eyes wide and pressed the towel around his waist: "When and where, why don't I know."
In the small town of Kafuno, you were unconscious at the time, so naturally you didn’t know.
Veronica wore a victorious smile, but she didn't say that although there was something wrong with the comparison, this was one of the few times when she had the upper hand, and she finally saw Wayne depressed.
"Forget it if you don't tell me. Anyway, it's not a loss for me. I've seen your naked body..."
Bang!
Wayne was punched on the nose, covered his face and said: "Get out quickly, I have no clothes on, and there is no one in this villa. If something happens, it will be useless to scream at you."
"It's you who should ask for help!"
Veronica gritted her teeth, but still stood up from the bathtub, folded her hands on her shoulders, and just waited for the social waste to finish taking a bath.
Wayne didn't panic at all and took off the towel and threw it out of the bathtub.
Veronica's face turned red, she snorted and lowered her head: "It's so ugly, where are the scissors?"
"I thought she was so powerful, but it turned out that she was just a tough talker. If you're embarrassed, just go out and don't delay my shower." Wayne snorted disdainfully. He was very embarrassed when Veronica was naked.
Make a decision!
Veronica was furious and her eyes widened in condescension.
It's very energetic, and it's even better if you don't blush.
Wayne was convinced by her desire to win, so he lay down in the bathtub and soaked slowly.
"Asshole, are you going to stay until tomorrow morning?"
Veronica couldn't help it anymore, interrupted Wayne's tune, pulled him out of the bathtub, grabbed a robe, and dragged him to the bedroom.
"Don't be anxious, I know you are anxious, but it's really inappropriate..."
Wayne shouted at the top of his lungs, and Veronica was so angry that she punched him repeatedly and pressed him on the bed before covering her mouth.
"Shut up, if you dare to talk nonsense again I will..."
Veronica turned her palms into a knife and made a downward cutting motion.
"Okay, why are you so anxious to find me?"
Wayne moved back and leaned against the bedside. When he realized that Veronica hadn't followed, he hugged her legs and lifted her up.
"..." x2
Bang!
Veronica closed her eyes and clenched her fists, took a few deep breaths, then calmed down her chaotic mood, and said calmly: "You went to vote for the successor today, did you pass?"
"Originally I failed, but the Queen gave me special approval. From now on, I will be the heir to the Landau family, and you will be second in line." Wayne said truthfully.
"Why?"
Veronica laughed angrily: "You are not from the Landau family. Even if you have the right to inherit, it is through that method. There is no way you can be ahead of me."
"Theoretically it's not possible, but everyone, including the Queen, thinks that I am Alston's illegitimate son. Because illegitimate children have no inheritance rights, they turned me into a regular child through marriage. The Queen saw that it was not easy for him, so she put me in line. At the front." Wayne started talking nonsense, focusing on silky smoothness.
Veronica rolled her eyes and said, "As expected of a queen, she is a good judge of people."
After speaking, she fell silent.
The eye circles are red and small pearls are about to fall out.
"Veronica, this expression doesn't suit you. The teacher and Auston will definitely teach me a lesson if they know I made you cry."
"They like you so much, how could they teach you a lesson!" Veronica was furious and punched Wayne in the face.
With a bang, the bed collapsed.
Wayne covered his face and coughed, then said weakly: "Don't be sad, it's just the heir. Auston didn't mention the engagement, and the teacher pretended not to know. Their meaning is very simple. It only works if you nod."
"If I don't nod my head for the rest of my life, will you be wasting your life?"
Veronica didn't believe it, crossed her shoulders and sneered. She had read the diary, and the garbage in society must not be that honest.
It's not that easy to lie to her!
"It's okay. I've been treated as an illegitimate child. It doesn't matter to me whether I have an engagement or not. The reason I was willing to agree to Auston was not for an engagement."
Wayne looked at Veronica calmly: "Auston told me there were some things you couldn't do and asked me if I was interested. I said yes."
Veronica was stunned, and her emotionless words directly penetrated her.
She swallowed softly, her heartbeat speeding up again and again, and then...
Wayne: (ω)
Veronica found an excuse, punched Wayne in the face, rushed out of the door in a panic, and seemed to hit the wall again with a few bangs.
Wayne held his chin up and watched the other party leave, secretly muttering something interesting.
He picked up the bathrobe beside him, walked into the bathroom and lay down again.
On his chest, a vertical line split open, and an ancient silver coin rolled up in his tentacles interacted closely with fellow elements.
I originally thought that Schrödinger would come to snatch the ancient silver coins, but there was no movement from the other party. He didn't even make a phone call, and he had no intention of taking the opportunity to sell his favor.
"This guy..."
"Are you too busy settling accounts, or were you really beaten to death?"
Wayne didn't know why, so he took a shower and changed into clean clothes. Before returning to Wayne House, he took his diary and climbed through the window into the eldest lady's bedroom.
Take the initiative to take the beating!
This is a necessary strategy settlement and cannot be omitted.
It would be meaningless to omit the paragraph just now.
