Turn your head.
Wang lowered his eyes and stirred the wild vegetable soup in front of him, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
The corners of Rudy's mouth twitched and his eyes rolled around in his sockets.
He took in the positions of everyone at the table:
Alan sat by the window, opposite Philip. Philip, with narrowed eyes, looked at him with interest, but the latter did not look up and look at Philip.
Rudy was in the middle, with Shao Ross sitting opposite him. The lord crossed his arms and looked down upon the three of them, like an old lion whose might was still as great as before.
Sylphy leaned against the door, she glanced at Allen, then nodded modestly to Hilda, who was slightly tilting her head with a stray look, as if looking at the wild vegetable soup placed in front of Rudy, but without focus. When she realized Sylphy's action, she blinked and smiled at Sylphy very gently.
Sauros waved his hand and sent away the maid who wanted to come up to serve everyone.
The moment the door was closed.
"The Thomas matter has been investigated."
He was very direct and didn't hide anything at all. He turned to look at Allen and went straight to the point.
"Good kill."
Seeing that Shao Ross had nothing else to say, Philip waited for a moment, then squinted his eyes and smiled before adding.
"I investigated it yesterday. In addition to colluding with the great nobles in the capital, Thomas also committed many crimes. He protected his relatives and officials to embezzle their positions and privately embezzled the income of the pharmaceutical workshop. The amount of stolen money hidden in his home has reached more than 700 gold coins."
"I was supposed to be the one to regulate and appease the forces in the city, but my father finally decided to do it himself. In one afternoon, he cleansed all the vassals who depended on Thomas."
"Hmph, it's always so nagging when you're in charge."
"That's what father taught me."
Alan's expression didn't change, but Hilda, who was standing next to him, froze slightly when she heard the follow-up details of Thomas' death yesterday for the first time.
Cleaning?
That means killing them all.
There are at least several hundred officials, forces, and relatives in Roya City related to Thomas, both big and small.
They all turned into corpses yesterday afternoon.
She was more focused on her own emotional fluctuations yesterday and didn't pay too much attention to these things. Only now did she realize that the situation related to Thomas was so serious.
Then when Alan suddenly killed someone yesterday, was it planned?
But how can this be what a tutor should do?
Tutor?
Hilda blinked rapidly, her brows raised slightly.
Father and Dear have a strange attitude towards Alan.
Could it be that what happened yesterday morning was another "test" used by "Dear"? Was he actually trying to test Alan in order to prepare for his future recruitment?
She subconsciously turned her head to see Philip's facial expression.
What comes into view is.
Her husband was looking at the person across the table with a smile.
The sunlight shining through the enamel glass hit his curly hair.
Flowing with a light brown glow.
She couldn't help but start to daydream again, just like when Sylphy found her just now. Her eyes stayed on the table, and she looked out of focus because -
Her eyes were always on Allen.
And at this moment, opposite her husband.
In the afterglow.
Same color.
Light brown streamer.
It was the exact same hair color.
Chapter 128: Sand in Hand
"Alice!!"
"yes!!"
The old man and the child were clearly very close to each other, but it seemed as if they were more than ten meters apart. Their voices shouting and greeting each other rang out one after another, bringing Hilda's thoughts back to the dining table.
Shao Ross turned to look at Alice, and a smile appeared on his face.
"This morning is the first tutoring class for the new teachers. I heard from Li'er that when she brought the servants to deliver meals to you, she saw that you were very hardworking. Not bad!"
"Yes, Grandpa! I work very hard!!"
As Rudy's mouth twitched, Sauros raised his eyebrows with satisfaction.
"Oh? That's rare. I thought they would be chased away by you."
Alice raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, and she looked just like Sauros, speaking loudly and proudly.
"No! Why would I do that? I like Alan and Sylphy! I learned how to write Gileno's name in reading and writing class today!"
After Alice's high-pitched voice faded away, Sauros was visibly stunned, showing a surprised expression, and glanced at the three young "tutors" opposite.
"Read and write? Learned to write Gilenu's name?"
"Yes!"
Sensing this "dissatisfaction" Rudy felt a chill running down his spine. After all, he spent two hours teaching Alice how to write a name, so he couldn't be a reliable teacher.
He couldn't help but start to panic whether he would be fired.
First of all, based on his status, Alan will definitely not be fired, and Sylphy is deeply loved by the eldest lady, so it is unlikely that she will be fired either.
So here comes the question.
How would Paul react when he returned to Buena Village alone and in despair?
A father would never laugh at his son when he is frustrated, right?
Well, most fathers don't.
What about Paul?
He will! He probably will!!
Rudy panicked instantly and subconsciously opened his mouth to make amends.
The next moment, he heard the voice of Sauros.
The tone was surprisingly happy, full of doting.
"Oh~ Little Alice is so amazing!!"
Rudy looked up in surprise, and saw that Sauros's face had been smiling into a wrinkled flower. The intimidating look on his face disappeared in an instant, and the person in front of him at this moment was clearly a kind and amiable old man.
It turns out that it's not dissatisfaction.
No, wait, who is this?
Where is the stern and steady Lord just now? ?
As Rudy's expression changed, Sauros reached out and touched Alice's head.
"Anything else?"
"I also learned how to divide!"
This time even Philip couldn't hold it anymore, his squinting eyes widened, and he turned to look at Alice in surprise.
"division?"
"Yes! 1÷2=1/2!"
Hearing the word "score" coming out of Alice's mouth, Sauros exclaimed in amazement.
"Good! It seems that Philip's previous educational approach is bullshit. It will be more effective to find some peers to come."
Philip, who was inexplicably affected, could only smile bitterly.
".Father is right."
At this time, Sauros was in a good mood, not knowing whether it was because he had cut off Darius's claws with his own hands or because he saw Alice's learning results. He kept smiling at Alice and nodded repeatedly.
But there was a sudden flash of wonder in his eyes.
"Have you thanked your new teachers?"
Alice's smug expression disappeared in an instant and her face froze.
"Ah? Do you still need to thank me for something like this?"
Sauros' smile disappeared instantly and he frowned deliberately.
"What do you mean by that? Is that what you say to the teachers who taught you to count and read and write?"
"I!."
"Um?"
".Woo."
Alice made a whimpering sound similar to that of an animal cub, raised her eyes and stared at the three people across the table, her gaze shifted from Alan to Rudy, and then to Sylphy's face. Her face became redder and redder, with an expression of helplessness and a conflicted look as if she couldn't let go of her self-esteem.
Hilda smiled and touched Alice's head. She looked at Sauros and Philip who were looking at Alice expectantly. Her expression was quite helpless, but she said nothing.
Rudy and Sylphy on the opposite side were shocked by this illogical development and had no idea what this grandfather and grandson were up to.
Sometimes praise, sometimes scold.
What exactly are you going to do?
However, Alan, who had been standing beside them with a calm expression, suddenly raised his head and looked at Alice.
Could it be!
Only in the sight of everyone.
Alice sat on the chair, her expression showing seven parts humiliation, two parts entanglement, and one part of almost non-existent shyness. She slowly raised her hands, and the fiery red hair cascaded down around her fingertips.
She held up her two braids.
My breathing became rapid.
Fingers tremble.
But suddenly her eyes rolled, she immediately let down her braids, jumped off the chair, and expressed her gratitude in a standard aristocratic lady's manner.
"Thank you!"
Then he jumped onto the chair again.
His expression quickly returned to its complacent attitude, as if he was very satisfied with his sudden way of expressing gratitude.
It has to be said that the saying that mathematics makes people meticulous is not groundless.
After just two hours of 'high pressure' study.
She has already figured out how to avoid shame and choose a way of expressing gratitude that is more "appropriate" for the current situation.
Even if this is not the picture that Sauros wants to see.
The air was silent for a moment.
Three sighs sounded at the same time.
They came from Alan, Philip and Saulos respectively.
After sighing, the male members of the Third Generation of Boreas looked at each other and saw a look of pity in each other's eyes.
Allen also understood at this time that in the original book, Philip did not ask Alice to ask him for help simply because he recognized Rudy and wanted to win him over, and thus staged the famous scene of "Please teach Alice magic meow!"
