Chapter 186 The Stupid Woman
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" The maid looked at Hevinia's slightly unnatural expression and became worried again, "You don't look very well."
"Well... I didn't sleep well last night." Hevinia pretended to be calm and said, "It may be because I haven't slept in my bed at home for a long time, so I'm a little uncomfortable."
"Is that so? Do you want me to change your bedding to a softer one tonight?"
Helvinia subconsciously wanted to say that it was not necessary, since it was just an excuse she made up, but she soon realized that the real Helvinia would not say that, so she nodded slightly, and her tone gradually became colder: "You should have solved this problem last night, didn't you?"
The maid's face turned pale, and then she apologized repeatedly.
Hevinia snorted coldly, quickened her pace, and walked in front of the maid so that the maid could not see her expression clearly.
After all, she had experienced so many things in the past two days that Hevinia couldn't even do the most basic disguise.
You know, it's more dangerous in the family than in school. After all, the people in the family basically watched Hevinia grow up, and it's easy to reveal flaws if you don't pay attention.
So, unless it was an emergency, Hevinia really didn't want to stay at home.
Not to mention, this is an extraordinary situation among extraordinary situations.
Haddock Trail.
That is Daphne's father.
His sudden appearance made Hevinia realize that what happened last night was not over yet, and Bai Wei just solved the trouble that came to him.
The Terrell family behind Daphne is also a problem, because they are also the ones who know Hevinia's identity - at least Haddock, as the head of the family, definitely knows it.
So why did he come to me now?
Hevinia, who was walking in front, frowned tightly.
Her biggest problem now is that she doesn't know what happened after that, and she doesn't even know how she got back to this home.
Bai Wei didn't say anything about these things and just went to "sleep".
If it were usual, Hevinia would hope that Bai Wei could sleep a little longer in her body, even if it meant sleeping until dawn. This way she wouldn't have to be watched all the time and could have more private time to do her own things.
But now, she just hoped that Bai Wei would not sleep, and at least make everything clear.
But that is destined to be just a thought.
Walking from the room on the second floor to the first floor, the maid behind Hevinia was still uneasy, but Hevinia had adjusted her mentality. There was no abnormality in her expression. The messy thoughts in her mind were temporarily put aside, and she became the eldest lady of the Heluo family again.
Now, she was going to meet the guests from Hai Luo's family.
…
Except for the Taichu family outside of Lun, the nobles in Shengyin are roughly divided into three levels.
The first tier is the Lawrence family, a large family with hundreds of years of history. There are only a few such families in the entire Holy Sound. The industries they own would be at least city-state level if placed under the rule of other churches. The number of seed areas they own that can cultivate musical notes is in the double digits.
The second tier is the Hai Luo family. They cannot be called a big family, but they also have a long historical heritage. Under the rule of other churches, the assets they control are probably at the small town level, and they also have one or two seed areas that can be used for cultivation.
The third tier is like the Terrell family, which owns a small territory and assets and is much richer than ordinary people, but is not allowed to own a seed area, so if they want new blood they often need to rely on a family like the Heluo family. That's why Daphne said that the Terrell family is a vassal of the Heluo family.
Before meeting Haddock, Hevinia kept reviewing this information in her mind, like she was reviewing before entering an exam room.
Because these were common sense among the nobility, and were "knowledge" that Hevinia had never encountered before, she had to make up for them all during this year.
After all, once the truth is revealed, there is a high probability that you will lose your life.
Last night was the perfect example of this.
It wasn't long before Hevinia arrived at the drawing room.
The maid opened the door for her.
Helvinia immediately spotted a man and a woman sitting on either side of the long table.
After hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, they both looked over.
The woman had a smile on her face, while the man had a hint of respect in his eyes.
Among them, the woman is naturally Helvinia's mother Mandy, and the man is Daphne's father Haddock.
After greeting Mandy, Hevinia also sat down at the table.
During this time, she did not look at Haddock on the surface, but she was secretly observing him with her peripheral vision.
Hevinia didn't know if it was because of Bai Wei's eyes, but even if she just looked at him with her peripheral vision, she could see it very clearly, and could even feel the scrutiny and worry hidden in the deepest part of Haddock's eyes.
After Hevinia sat down, Mandy, as the hostess, naturally spoke first.
"Did you sleep well last night, baby?"
The tone of her voice was lazy, just like the way she sat. She completely lacked the aura and manner of a mistress of the Hai Luo family. She slumped in the chair like a pile of mud.
Her clothes were also very casual. Although the dress was of high quality, it looked like rags. Even most of her upper body skin was exposed to the eyes of outsiders. Of course, Helvinia knew that she did it on purpose, but what she wanted to show was not her body, but the silver and pure seventh note engraved on her body.
This is what Mandy is most proud of. Born in an ordinary family, she was able to marry into the Hai Luo family thanks to this extremely high-quality silver musical note.
She also successfully gave birth to Hevinia, who was at the seventh level of the Golden Order, for the Hailuo family, thus establishing her position as the female head of the family.
Therefore, Hevinia and these musical notes are what Mandy is most proud of, and she wants to show them to others all the time.
That was why she was dressed like this, and why she had to ask the maid to wake up Hevinia to meet the guest.
All to satisfy her desire to show off.
Of course, what Mandy wanted to show off the most was Hevinia's dress of golden notes. If the owner of the house had not expressly forbidden her, Mandy would definitely let Hevinia wear the same dress to welcome guests, and then stroke Hevinia's skin and say to the guests with a smile, "This is my child."
And this was not just Hevinia's random guess. She learned from the maid at home that when the real Hevinia was still young, Mandy had done something similar, making her stand naked in front of countless people.
So Hevinia has always believed that the reason why the real Hevinia has such a twisted personality is definitely inseparable from Mandy.
This is indeed a selfish and stupid woman, with nothing in her mind except showing off.
But Hevinia was not disgusted by Mandy's stupidity. In fact, if her stupidity was not so obvious, when Hevinia had just arrived here a year ago and didn't know anything, there would be no way for her to hide the truth and adapt in such a short time.
And Mandy is also helpful to Hevinia now.
Hevinia had carefully observed Mandy's various postures and movements. After all, although this woman was stupid, she did have a good face and was very charming in the eyes of many men. These were things that Hevinia, a country girl from the seed area, had never seen.
So, the first person Helvinia referenced in the challenge of "becoming a real Helvinia" was Mandy.
And until now, some of Mandy's habits can be found in Hevinia.
For example, Hevinia would often show her beautiful white neck to ensure that those who passed by her could see the faint golden scales on her neck with just a casual glance back.
Most men fall for this, such as Hevinia's senior brother Doss.
But there are also people who don’t eat it, such as the guy in her body who she doesn’t know if he can be considered a human being.
Hmm...I think I've gone off topic again.
"I called you down because you, ha, ha, ha..." Mandy pointed at Haddock's face and for a moment she even forgot his name.
Fortunately, this was not the first time. Haddock smiled and said, "Just call me Haddock, ma'am."
"Yes, your Uncle Haddock." Mandy tilted her head and said lazily to Hevinia, "Your Uncle Haddock has been friends with our Hero family for generations. Your father is not at home, so of course you have to come down and respond properly. This is the most basic etiquette."
Is it really etiquette if you can’t even remember the other person’s name?
Helvinia thought this in her mind, but she didn't say it out loud.
The Hero family did not attach much importance to the Terrell family, otherwise Hevinia's father would not have allowed the stupid Mandy to receive Haddock.
Being able to let Mandy sit on the main seat is itself a statement of attitude.
Everyone present was well aware of this, so Haddock just smiled and didn't dare to resist in any way.
And now that Mandy had turned the topic to Haddock, Helvinia could finally turn her attention to Haddock naturally.
There were several gift boxes piled up around Haddock, and it looked like they were sent to congratulate the Heiluo family on their Seven Syllables.
But only Hevinia knew why he came.
"Uncle Haddock," Helvinia asked, smiling, "Didn't Daphne come with you?"
While asking this question, Hevinia had been looking into Haddock's eyes, trying to catch more of his emotional changes.
But Haddock concealed it very well, and even with Bai Wei's eyes, he still couldn't find any flaws.
"Daphne is resting at home." Haddock replied with a smile, "After all, the way back from the academy is not short. She has been lying at home for a day."
Having said that, he paused, and then asked with a puzzled look.
"Come to think of it, Daphne mentioned to me before she came back that Miss Helvinia was the last to leave school. It was already early in the morning, wasn't Miss Helvinia tired?"
Temptation.
An undisguised temptation.
Helvinia thought wildly in her mind.
From Haddock's words, we can gather that, as the head of the family, he did know about last night's action.
But the problem was, because Daphne and the four players were killed by Bai Wei, even the news could not be conveyed back, so he didn't know what exactly happened.
But he had no way to go directly to the college to check the situation, as that would undoubtedly be walking into a trap.
That's why he came to the Hero's house to seek answers. After all, Hevinia was back, and she was the prey... huh? No.
Helvinia suddenly thought of something.
She is not the Terrell family's prey. The Terrell family's prey is Arianna. All their arrangements are aimed at Arianna.
In other words, she was essentially separated from the Terrell family by a layer. So if something unexpected happened, Haddock would first suspect Arianna, who had also disappeared.
So, if Hevinia disguised her return time, for example, she came back in the afternoon and didn't know what happened in the evening, would that work...
"Yes, it was almost daybreak when she got home."
But at this moment, Mandy said lazily while yawning.
"The driver picked her up in the early morning. She had been traveling all night before she came back. She had a high fever and looked sick and dirty. Her clothes were torn, as if she had rolled in the snow several times... She was really not a lady at all."
Mandy's sudden words caused Hevinia and Haddock's expressions to change.
Helvinia's expression was one of shock and annoyance.
The shocking thing is that she didn't know that she was in such a bad state when she came back last night! If it was really as Mandy said, wouldn't it be written on her face that "I did it"? !
Why did Bai Wei have time to dig out her eyes and cut her tongue, but had no time to clean up her body?
Can't you help her take a bath and put on makeup?
At least change your clothes!
What kind of after-sales treatment is this!
The annoying thing was that she shouldn't have tried to test him in front of Mandy.
This stupid woman can do nothing but bad things!
On the other side, Haddock's expression darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He stared at Hevinia, his eyes full of anger and murderous intent.
After all, from his perspective, Daphne had clearly died.
Not only Daphne, but also the four players he sent out, they are the core strength of the Terrell family.
Just gone like that.
The Terrell family's big gamble failed.
For a moment, Helvinia wondered if Haddock would just give up and reveal her identity.
Since he couldn't have it anyway, he might as well let Hevinia go to hell with him.
Fortunately, Hevinia had already made a plan for this before entering the house.
She looked at Haddock, her lips parted, and she uttered a word silently.
Haddock read Helvinia's mouth and was stunned.
Because the word Helvinia uttered was - "father".
