"Well, it's my mother and I who share the burden," Leeteuk said. "But in terms of familiarity with the people, my mother is better, so most of the time it's my mother who's busy and I'm helping her."
"Okay, okay, I'll feel more at ease leaving it to you."
"Alas, I feel sorry for your mother. She didn't get to see you grow up." As he said this, Lucius reached out and touched Litt's hair.
"Alas, Margaret has been with me all her life, giving up the pursuit of power and wealth. I have worked hard outside for half my life, just wanting to give her reasonable conditions, but I didn't expect the result, alas."
Of course, Litt knew that Lucius was not talking about his current mother Mary, but his previous mother Margaret.
"It's okay, father. I'm sure mother will be very happy to see the life you are living now."
"Oh, are you happy? Her husband almost forgets her. How can she be happy?" Lucius smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I'm sorry, father, that's not what I meant..."
"I know, Litt, you're a good kid, I know you don't mean that." Lucius said, pointing to the table. "Pour me a glass of water, Litt."
"Okay." Litt nodded, then stood up and poured Lucius a glass of water.
"By the way, Lit." At this time, Lucius seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong, Father?"
"No one at home should know about my situation now, right?"
"Except for Brother Orson, Miss Vivian, and me, no one else should know." Litt thought for a moment and then spoke.
"That's fine." Lucius nodded with confidence. "Okay, Lit, you go out. I'll go downstairs to eat later."
"Okay." After hearing that, Litt left Lucius' room.
It was time for dinner. Today, Lucius came downstairs to have dinner with everyone, which was rare. This was also the first time he went out in the past few days.
"Master, you have worked hard these days." At the dinner table, Mary deliberately flattered Lucius.
"It's okay. I'm just lying in bed. It's not that hard." Lucius said this and looked at Mary and Litt.
"It's you two who have to take care of the housework for me. Thank you for your hard work!"
"No, no, these are all part of my job." Mary said with a smile.
"Oh, sir," Mary said, and suddenly she said, "I am pregnant."
"What?" Lucius looked at Mary in surprise. "You're pregnant?"
"Yes, I couldn't believe it before, but now that I think about it, I should have been pregnant for three or four months."
Although Mary and Lucius have been sleeping in separate rooms for the past few years, they occasionally sleep in the same bed.
It's just strange that Mary, who hadn't been pregnant in the past few years, got pregnant at this time.
But Lucius didn't think much about it. When he heard that he was going to have another child, his mood immediately improved a lot.
Although there is no such thing as having a child to bring good luck here, having a child is always a good thing for a wealthy family.
Even Leeteuk felt a little happy when he heard that he was going to have a younger brother or sister.
"Well, my Stranic family is really prosperous." Lucius smiled happily as he said this.
Then he looked at Leeteuk.
"Then Madam, you should rest more these days, and if there is anything at home, just let Li Te do it."
"I understand, sir."
The atmosphere of the dinner party became cheerful because of this news
Up.
After finishing his meal, Lucius took a walk in the courtyard accompanied by Vivian to recover.
Just when Li Te thought that everything was going well, there was a sudden knock on his door early the next morning.
When he opened the door, Litt found Vivian standing at the door with an anxious look on her face.
"Oh no, oh no, Master Li Te, I was going to the master's room this morning to see how he was doing, but I didn't expect that he was gone!"
"What? Father is missing?" Upon hearing this, Litt immediately came to her senses. She quickly changed her clothes and ran downstairs.
After searching for a whole morning, Litt, under the guidance of Virgil, finally found Lucius standing on a meadow.
"The master used to come here occasionally." Virgil explained to Little beside him. "Master Orson told me that his ex-wife, Lady Margaret, was buried here."
"Although I don't know why the master suddenly came here, but if the master suddenly disappeared from home, it is most likely that he was here to commemorate his deceased wife."
"Alas." Li Te sighed after hearing this.
Buried here is Lucius's deceased wife, who is also Leet's biological mother.
"Father... is still too loyal and righteous." Litt said this, his attitude towards Lucius full of respect.
"Well, Master Leete, go and see the master. You have a reason to go there."
"Yeah." Li Te nodded, then walked towards Lucius.
"Father, what are you doing here?" Litt said this and walked closer to Lucius.
Lucius turned around blankly, looked at Litt, and then made a "hush" gesture.
Upon seeing this, Lit immediately fell silent.
"Margaret usually likes to read quietly." As he said this, Lucius sat down next to the tombstone and gently stroked the name on it.
"Is that mother in here?"
"Yes." Lucius nodded. "She is your biological mother, your real mother."
As he said this, Lucius pulled out a picture album from his pocket.
He unfolded the album and showed it to Lit.
This is a portrait of a woman. In the portrait, the girl is looking at the viewer with a peaceful smile.
"I asked the best painter in the imperial city to draw this. How about it? Doesn't your mother look pretty?"
"Yeah." Litt nodded. This was not a fake. The girl in the portrait was indeed very beautiful, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Litt's.
"The more I look at you, the more I think you are just like Margaret." Lucius said as he put the portrait away. "Come to think of it, you have been back for so long, but I still haven't taken you to see your mother."
"Margaret, look, this is our child, Lit."
"The name is very similar to yours. The family who named you were so nice. Maybe this is fate." Lucius said, pointing at Litt.
"The child I used to bring here, Orson, I made a mistake. He is not our biological child, but he is a very good child and has not brought shame to our family at all."
As he said this, Lucius seemed to be confiding or whispering, expressing all his memories of his deceased wife.
It should have been a very touching scene, but the more Leeteuk thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Because Lucius was becoming more and more emotional, which was unlike his usual behavior.
"Father, it's almost time. We should go back and eat."
"People should always look forward, father. Mother doesn't want you to look sad all the time when you mention her, right?"
"She must also hope that you will live better and better."
Litt comforted Lucius and tried to help him up.
"Well, it's almost done." Lucius nodded and let Litt support him.
“I don’t know if I’ll have the chance to come next time.”
"I don't know if I will forget you next time." Lucius' tone suddenly became sad.
"Leet, do you know?" He seemed to have found someone to talk to, and said to Leet: "There were a few days before, when the disease was serious, I almost forgot Margaret's face. I was so scared that I would really forget her."
"It's okay, father. Your condition has improved now, hasn't it? It's okay..."
Litt helped Lucius back home.
At the door of the house, several servants saw Lucius coming back and hurried to greet him.
"Master, are you okay?"
"Oh, you hope something happens to me?" Lucius said this, and the servants dared not say anything, and hurriedly lowered their heads to apologize.
"Okay, Lit, just take me back to the house."
"Okay, father." Upon hearing this, Litt nodded, helped Lucius upstairs and sent him into the room.
Mary, who was upstairs, witnessed the whole process. She returned to her room, looked at Randall standing aside, and said with a smile: "Randall, have you noticed that the master's behavior has been a little abnormal recently?"
"Indeed...it seems that the master has become more emotional." Randall nodded. "So, ma'am, do you think that the master may have some problems?" He pointed to his head.
"Hmm." Mary said. "To be honest, I didn't think about it that way, but Orson and Leete kept covering it up and only arranged their confidants to serve the master. Are they afraid that we will find something unusual?"
Having said this, Mary looked at Randall.
"How about this, Randall? Tell Vivian tomorrow to help me buy some jewelry at the market. I want to go and see what the master is like myself."
"After all, I am the master's wife, and I have the right to know all this."
"Yes, sir." Randall bowed respectfully.
"By the way, Madam, you should take care of yourself recently. It's getting cold, so remember to wear more clothes. After all, this child is your hope."
"You don't need me to tell you, I know it naturally."
……
Early the next morning, Randall found Vivian.
"Hello, head maid." Randall said this and looked at Vivian.
After the old head maid retired, Vivian, as Orson's personal maid, was promoted to the position of head maid.
"Uh, hello, Mr. Randall, what can I do for you?" Vivian was wiping the glass. When she saw Randall suddenly coming to her, she looked at him with some confusion.
"It's like this, Madam Mary's jewelry is missing, and she plans to go to the market to buy a new one. She doesn't know much about the market, so she would like you to help her take a look and choose some suitable jewelry."
As he said this, Randall took out a bag.
"Here are a hundred gold coins, which are the Madam's private money. Please help her pick out some decent ones. There is no need to pick anything particularly expensive."
"Okay." Vivian nodded after hearing that, took the purse, assigned the tasks to other people, and then took the purse and rushed to the market.
On the other side, after seeing Vivian go out, Mary walked to Lucius's door, knocked twice gently, and then walked in.
In the room, Lucius had already gotten up and was sitting at the desk writing a letter. He looked no different from usual.
"Master, are you up yet?" Mary said with some surprise when she saw Lucius's look.
"Yeah." Lucius nodded. "Pour me a cup of tea."
"Okay." Mary said this, went downstairs, brought a cup of tea, and placed it on Lucius's table.
"Master, the tea is here."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Margaret." Lucius said this, took out the teacup and took a sip.
"Um... Master, what did you call me just now?" Mary was stunned when she heard Lucius' words.
"Margaret, what's wrong?" Lucius looked at Mary in confusion. "I'm writing documents for the frontline troops. The battle will begin in a few days."
"Wait a minute, sir, what are you writing?" Mary said this with a surprised look.
She took the letter from Lucius's hand, and the content of the letter was all about the war.
"Master, the war was over some time ago." She said this and put the letter back. "Orson is leading the team at the front line and has already beaten the orcs back."
"Orson? Who is Orson?" Lucius looked at Mary strangely. "No, no! His Majesty the Emperor specially appointed me as a general. How could he change the commander in the middle of the term? No, I have to go see His Majesty the Emperor."
Having said this, Lucius quickly stood up.
"Master!" Mary hurriedly called out to Lucius. "This is Antica, not Saint Laurent!"
At this time, Lucius was shocked and then he sat down.
"Wait a minute, ma'am, please go out first and let me think about it alone..."
"Yes, sir,
