Doting on the Masked Wife

When Murong Lie returned to the castle, he was wearing a neat gray velvet suit. The majestic-looking manager saw him but hurriedly greeted him: "Master, you are back."

In fact, Murong Lie still didn't like everyone in Edson's Castle. He glanced at the manager lightly, and nodded impatiently.

The manager didn't take it seriously at all. He was extremely obedient and loved the young master who was about to become the new Earl Edson in front of him, because the earl's blood flowed through him!

The day when Murong Lie and the earl's father and son fought each other, although the scene was extremely tragic, it further confirmed this point.

The manager gave Murong Lie an admiring look, bowed his head and said respectfully, "Master, the Earl is waiting for you in the study, and he asked you to meet him in the study as soon as you come back."

Murong Lie said flatly: "I'm very tired and I don't want to see anyone."

Just like Song Ruqiao and Qi Ruosang, Murong Lie once called the Earl "Father" when the Earl was in a rage, and when the Earl fainted due to excessive arousal, he kept calling But after the matter was over, Murong Lie chose to avoid seeing him.

As if trying to escape.

The manager was stunned for a moment, saw that Murong Lie had turned around and went up the spiral staircase, and hurriedly said behind his back: "Master, the Earl said, it's about Miss Tong'er."

Murong Lie paused when he stepped on the stairs, and then let out a mocking chuckle: "He really understands me!"

After speaking, he put his hand on the armrest and walked up.

The manager looked at his back and breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that the young master will go to see the Earl.

Murong Lie went up to the second floor, walked through the long corridor, and came to the door of the study.He didn't knock on the door, he just pushed the door open and walked in.

The Earl was sitting by the window, his tall and straight body trembling slightly, as if the old injury on his back had broken out.The golden sun shone on his handsome face. Under the golden hair, his face was even more bluish-white because of the injuries he suffered in the battle with Murong Lie not long ago, as if the bones in his bones They were all chilled.

Murong Lie's black jewel-like pupils met his eyes, and his eyes moved to his pale vampire-like complexion, his eyes dimmed slightly, and then changed to his usual complexion.

"You called me, what's the matter?" He asked lightly.

The Earl looked at him with blue eyes that were half sea water: "How is Tonger?"

Murong Lie's Adam's apple rolled up and down twice, and finally said: "She's fine."

The Earl looked at him: "You still suspect that I have ulterior motives for her?"

Murong Lie didn't speak, but just looked at him coldly.

The Earl shook his head, returned to the chair and sat down again.

He sat under the window with his back to the light, so much sunlight suddenly entered the dark study room that had not been opened for thousands of years, the Earl seemed to squint his eyes, and then said: "If I said, I hope to see you get married as soon as possible, Will you stop holding grudges against me?"

Murong Lie was startled, only to hear the Earl slowly say again: "As far as I know, Tong'er's birthday is coming up, which will be on the 22nd of next week. NO.20, I will be in front of everyone, I will hand over the earl's palm print and the queen's letter of appointment to you. Then you will get married on Tong'er's birthday."

After Murong Lie was stunned for a moment, he said coldly: "You really care about Tong'er, you know exactly when her birthday is."

The Earl frowned: "So you don't believe that I didn't mean that to her?"

Murong Lie stood up straight, his handsome face was hard and without any warmth, he said coldly: "I only know that it's always right to keep her as far away from you as possible."

The Earl's jaw muscles twitched, and he suddenly said, "At that time... didn't you call me father?"

His voice lowered, and this unprecedented tone was actually a sign of weakness.

"I have never forgiven you." Murong Lie said coldly, "Don't make a mistake." The Earl squinted his eyes, looked at him deeply, but suddenly raised his head and smiled.

He stood up, standing against the light, as if his whole body was covered with a layer of golden light, the indescribable light was compelling, and the arrogance was compelling.

"That's good, I don't need anyone's forgiveness." He said proudly. After all, it was the noble and arrogant Earl, and all the sharpness came back to his eyes. Won't regret it!"

"You!" Murong Lie couldn't help but took a step forward, clenched his fists tightly, looked fiercely at the Earl's expressionless face, and squeezed out a sentence between his teeth, "For me Mother, have you never felt guilty?!"

The count raised his chin slightly, his handsome face was full of arrogance, and there was also a hint of sarcasm.

"My son, if it were you, you wouldn't do this, would you?"

Murong Lie almost blurted out: "When..."

He suddenly stopped, and his clenched fist unconsciously loosened.

The earl's handsome and cold pale face added a bit of sarcasm: "Don't think that I don't know everything about you and Tong'er, how did Tong'er follow you?"

Murong Lie's face suddenly lost the color of anger, instead he narrowed his eyes, looked at his father inscrutablely, and said coldly: "Are you investigating me?"

The Earl did not answer, he just laughed mockingly: "What? Can't answer?"

The corners of Murong Lie's mouth twitched, he tightened his thin lips, and then gave the Earl a hard look: "I am different from you! My mother has never loved you, but Tonger is different, she loves you too. Me. We're getting married, totally different from you!"

The Earl just still raised his chin, and there was a gleam of light in his sharp blue eyes: "What if she doesn't love you? What will you do?"

Murong Lie sneered and said, "How is it possible?"

The Earl looked at him, Murong Lie pursed his lips, and said coldly: "Okay, even if I forced her at first, she still loves me now. I was sincere to her, and she forgave me. Me and her are nothing like you and my mother."

The Earl laughed, "I hope so."

Murong Lie said with a cold face, "What do you mean?"

"In fact, you have never felt safe. You have always felt that you will not be happy. Even if she is in front of you, you still don't believe it. You just want to catch her desperately... Am I right?" the Earl said coldly. Looking at him, "Actually, you have never had confidence in yourself, have you?"

Murong Lie sneered: "I don't have confidence in myself? It's ridiculous..."

His sneer was suddenly interrupted by the Earl.

The earl looked at him with blue eyes almost sad: "You saw it when you were a child, but you haven't forgotten it, right?"

Murong Lie's face suddenly became ugly: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"You know what I'm talking about," said the Earl. "You don't even dare to tell Tonger about this secret. You have kept it a secret, right?"

Murong Lie's face became more and more ugly: "I don't even know what you're talking about! Did you drink too much and talk nonsense?"

The Earl was not angry at his disobedience and harsh words, he just looked at him sadly with a hint of pity as a father: "You remember, you always remember, what you overheard at that time..."

Murong Lie suddenly became angry.

"I do not know what you're talking about!"

he roared angrily. "Tonger and I will be very happy. I love her, and she loves me too. Don't think that those words you say will shake me. I'm different from you!"

With that said, he turned around and strode away. The carved door of the study room opened and closed heavily with a bang.

The Earl stood in the sun, squinting his eyes, and looked at the door of the study as if in a daze. It took a long time before he showed an expression other than indifference and arrogance.

He seemed to be very tired, and slowly sat down on the chair, resting his forehead with one hand.

His blond hair shone like gold under the sun, but it made his face paler and paler like a vampire, without a trace of blood.

"I also hope that the curse is fake..."

he murmured.

"If it's fake..."

He suddenly stopped, pursed his lips tightly, and his stiff back trembled violently as if he had been shocked by an electric shock.

**Murong Lie strode out, his whole body was burning with anger.

He stormed out of Fort Edson in a rage, and drove the car all the way to the beach.

However, when he got to the beach, he didn't get out of the car, but turned his head and stared at the sea.

The langurs on the seashore rolled up as high as a person, stirred up with a "wow", and then fell again, the snow-white water splashed against the black reef.

The sun shines on the turquoise sea, sparkling and golden, which is really beautiful.

However, Murong Lie obviously didn't come to see the sea at all.

His jaw clenched, his slender fingers gripped the black steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turned white with force.

Unpredictable expressions flashed through his dark eyes, and finally, he raised his hand, but slammed it hard on the steering wheel.

His palm was flushed from the blow, but he didn't seem to notice it. He frowned. He suddenly started the car, and the black roadster returned along the way it came from.

Back at Edson Castle, the manager greeted him with a smile on his face as soon as he saw him: "Master..."

But Murong Lie kept his face tight and pushed him away with one hand.

Striding towards the basement of the castle, Murong Lie turned a deaf ear to the voice of the manager calling her.

It wasn't until he walked into the entrance of the basement based on his childhood memories, and felt the long passage was dark and cold, and there was a chilling gloom in the endless darkness, that he slowly slowed down his pace. .
