the eve of the showerThree days later, Laura went to the French Concession again, nominally to drink afternoon tea at Helen Cara's house, but Dylan was there that day. Laura walked into the door, Helen Cara hurriedly closed the door, and walked to the stairs to imitate the rat's "squeak", and then called softly, "Come out." Laura thought it was Cara at first. What secret code Cara was thinking of was very mysterious. Later, when Helen Cara turned his head and grinned at her, Laura realized that Helen Cara was joking about Dylan, laughing at him hiding like a mouse. After a while, Laura saw Dylan walking down the stairs on the second floor, dressed in a straight light gray suit. As soon as he saw Laura, he smiled at her: "Laura, long time no see."Compared with the past, there is no big change, the only difference is that he recently cut his hair short, and at the same time, he looks more energetic and free, and easy. Laura stepped forward and also greeted him, "Mr. Dylan, long
still waterThe servant brought tea and snacks, Cara was sitting on the sofa in the living room, but he didn't look very happy, and he didn't know what to think. Laura shouted softly, and she just smiled perfunctory ignoring it, and instead picked up the book she just put on the coffee table, as if ready to leave. Cara is such a character, happiness and unhappiness are written on his face. Laura was a little strange and wanted to ask her what was wrong. It happened that the fifth concubine came in from outside and saw that the maid was carrying the pile of shopping bags, and knew that she had come back from the department store again. Presumably, the fifth concubine was too tired from shopping, so she waved her hand and asked the servant to helpher carry her newly bought things upstairs, and sat down directly on the sofa opposite Laura. Seeing a young lady sitting next to Laura, the fifth concubine looked up and down, and she seemed to be a female student.The fifth concubine did
Mrs. Elmer's birthday was on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and fine snow began to fall in the sky from early in the morning. There are lanterns everywhere in the handsome mansion, the festive red of the lanterns and the festive white with the broken snow, which is unique. Because it was a good day, Laura wore an agate red cheongsam and a fox fur cloak. She first followed Robert to the old lady's yard to celebrate her birthday. There were peony flowers in full bloom under the porch in the courtyard, and at the entrance of the main hall, a huge picture of a hundred birthdays hung on the wall. When Laura and Smith were together, several concubines and Smith were there. Mrs. Elmer was wearing a purple jacket with five blessings and longevity. She smiled warmly. When she saw Smith and Laura come in, she greeted them with a smile. Laura and Robert first said auspicious words together, and then Robert asked him to bring up the ruby bonsai with longevity that he had prepared
ups and downsThe side entrance of Shuai Mansion is to the west of the main entrance. If you want to go there, there is still a long way from the stage to there. Laura was afraid of being recognized, so she was about to cover her face with a scarf, but just as she stretched out her hand, someone hurried toward her and shouted, "Miss Laura." Laura looked up, It was actually Axis next to Mrs. Vera. Axis specially came to find Laura. She wanted to invite Master Hanas back at first, but the concubine was obstructing him and dragged Master Chen and refused to leave. The life-threatening Master Chen really did not leave. Axis had to look for Laura again. She searched under the stage and couldn't find it. Fortunately, she had sharp eyes and good luck. Axis stepped forward and grabbed Laura's hand, almost crying: "Miss Laura, go to Hanas mansion to see, Madam can't figure out what to do in the bedroom! I called the doctor, but Madam didn't cooperate. A lot of blood! A lot of blood!" A
If Axis hadn't come to find Laura, she might have really fallen for it. As soon as Axis mentioned her suicide by cutting her veins, Laura immediately agreed to Axis's visit to Hanas's mansion. Although there was the freedom she had longed for a long time, the other side was Mrs. Vera's life. When Laura turned around, she realized that someone seemed to be following her all the time. She remembered that Dylan also said that he felt that he was being followed. If those who followed him were from the handsome mansion, wouldn't her escape plan leak earlier? She must have been caught in a run now. So she hurriedly took Axis and hid in a place where there was no one, gave Axis the coat and scarf, and asked her to find Jones, while she went to Hanas's mansion. When she arrived at Hanas Mansion, Mrs. Vera's wrist was still bleeding, but she was very stubborn and refused to let the doctor stitch or bandage her. She also had a knife for cutting the fruit in her hand, and as long as a doct
Laura didn't expect that as soon as Hanas Kie heard the word divorce, he became even angrier, and rushed over to hit someone without caring about anything. Mr. Hanas's meaning is obvious, he would rather let Mrs. Vera die than divorce, Mrs. Vera. Because in this era, it is considered a very shameful thing for a man to be asked for a divorce by a woman. Laura hurried over to stop her, but she was not the opponent of Hanas Kie. Fortunately, two attendants of Robert suddenly came in and forced Hanas Kie away. When Laura saw them coming to help, she was a little surprised. She thought that Robert was just here to pick her up and would not interfere. Laura looked out the door and found that Robert was still standing in the corridor and did not come in. There was only a dim wall lamp lit in the corridor, and it was difficult to see his expression. After being held by the attendant, Hanas Kie also looked back at Robert outside the door. Hanas Kie did not dare to make trouble in fro
When Laura arrived at the mansion in the evening, both Stephan and Maria were taken aback. Seeing that Laura was still wearing Robert's coat, Stephan thought that Robert was also coming, so he deliberately walked outside the mansion to greet him. Stephan and Laura are not siblings, Laura's mother is the principal, and Stephan is only a concubine's servant, so Stephan didn't have much contact with Mrs. Vera before. However, both Stephan and Maria knew that Laura had an aunt like Mrs. Vera, and they knew that Mrs. Vera was the wife of a teacher. Although they felt a little strange when they saw Mrs. Vera wrapped in gauze, they were also very attentive, Stephan also took the initiative to carry luggage for Mrs. Vera. They had reserved a bedroom for her in the mansion according to the instructions of taking care of Shuyao before, and Laura directly supported Mrs. Vera there. Stephan noticed that Laura was following Robert's people, so he went down to entertain them again. The he
Laura was locked by Robert's arm. He was so close to her that she could feel his breath. She didn't like this feeling, she frowned to look at him and found that he was also looking down at her, with an insightful look, as if he was still interested. She couldn't help thinking about his words, don't you go too far? Too much? What does he mean by that? Does that mean she drives him away now? Or did he find out that she was going to escape with Dylan? She thought about it for a while, and decided to avoid the key points, "My bed is too small, you can't get used to it." After speaking, she raised her head and glanced at him. He raised his eyebrows slightly, stared into her eyes, but rejected her: "I still have something to do. I'm just here to pick up clothes tonight. I'll leave after a while. I don't plan to stay with you." Robert was decisive, As soon as she said this, it seemed that she was self-indulgent and wished to keep him for the night. But he clearly stated that ta
