Chapter 189 Do You Really Think I Know Nothing?
The woman's words naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.
After all, she was talking about the Golden Level.
In Shengyin, saying that you have the ability or genes to cultivate gold-level people is similar to saying in other cities that your family is wealthy and waiting for others to marry into your family.
However, if this statement came from a Silver Rank person, it would be somewhat credible. For example, this is how Mandy gave birth to Hevinia.
But since these words came from a bronze-level woman in the lower city, it was hard not to doubt her truthfulness.
Anyway, Mandy didn't believe it. After hearing this, her eyes immediately turned cold: "Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know the price of deceiving the Hai Luo family?"
"Yes, ma'am, I know!" the woman was still shouting, "I dare not lie to you, I am indeed Nia's aunt, you can ask her to come out, she will definitely know me!"
Hearing this, Mandy turned her head slightly and looked at the maid beside her, then frowned and asked, "Is there such a person in the house?"
"No, ma'am," the maid replied, "The young lady is the only gold-level player in the family, and I have never heard of anyone named Nia."
Before Mandy could respond, the woman on the other end started to yell again, "No, it's impossible! Madam, I really didn't lie to you! At that time, I was... ah, it was a year ago! A year ago, I saw Miss Hevinia take Nia away with my own eyes! I saw it with my own eyes!"
Mandy originally didn't want to get entangled with the woman. After all, what the woman said was too stupid.
If there was another golden rank at home, how could she, as the head of the family, not know about it!
But now the other party mentioned that it was Hevinia who took the person away, so she had to take it more seriously.
After all, a year ago, Hevinia really loved going to the seed area.
Moreover, no matter where the nobles were, they all attached great importance to the gold level, and they would verify it thoroughly as long as there was news. If she missed a gold level because of her perfunctory attitude, the real head of the Hailuo family, that is, Mandy's husband, would never let her go.
So, even if she didn't want to bother with this woman, seeing that the woman had mentioned Helvinia, she could only reluctantly say to the maid beside her: "Call Helvinia down."
As soon as the words fell, Helvinia's voice rang out: "I'm here, mother."
Everyone turned around and saw Helvinia coming out of the house.
The moment she saw Hevinia, the woman was delighted at first, but soon she seemed to remember something and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.
Hevinia didn't immediately address the woman, but walked up to Mandy and greeted her first.
But Mandy was obviously not in a good mood. She first glanced at Hevinia, then looked at the woman in the distance, and pursed her lips: "What is she talking about? Have you met Jinyin in the seed area? Her name is...Nia?"
"I can't remember the name. There are too many people in the seed area. I never remember names." Hevinia shrugged and said, "As for Jinyin... Mom, do you think it's possible? To cultivate Jinyin, you need at least a mother like you. Do you think there is a mother with your qualifications in the seed area?"
Just one sentence was enough to make Mandy's frown relax.
But the woman who heard this was naturally anxious: "No, how is it possible? Miss Hevinia, it's Nia, it's..."
Helvinia turned around and looked at the woman calmly, "Why? Do you think I'm lying?"
The woman's expression froze.
If it were usual, in the Hai Luo family's manor, she, a commoner, would definitely not dare to slander the eldest daughter of the Hai Luo family, but now it was a desperate situation for her, so she could only bite the bullet and say: "I think you must have forgotten that there is such a thing. My sister is Connie, and her daughter..."
"Your sister is in the seed area," Helvinia interrupted the woman, "and why are you in the lower city?"
Hevinia's words immediately made the woman stammer: "I, I, my talent is better than my sister's, so I can leave the seed area..."
"Is that so?" Helvinia continued, "You are more talented than your sister, but you can only come to our Hai Luo family to borrow seeds, while your sister is not as talented as you, but she can cultivate Golden Sound. Is that what you mean?"
“No, no, that’s not what I meant…” The woman shook her head subconsciously, “I just showed my talent earlier than my sister, my sister…”
"What about your sister?" Helvinia interrupted the woman again. "Your sister cultivated the golden sound. Why didn't she say it, but you said it?"
"…My sister is missing."
"Missing?"
"Yes, yes, I don't know what happened, I just disappeared suddenly." Seeing the disdain in the eyes of the people around her getting stronger and stronger, the woman became even more panicked. "She used to bring her daughter to me from time to time and told me that her daughter had great potential, but now the potential has not been realized, so she came to blackmail me... No, I mean, she hopes that I can give her some money."
The woman became increasingly incoherent.
But Hevinia knew what she wanted to say, because Hevinia had remembered that the other person was indeed her aunt.
My aunt left the seed area earlier than my mother.
At that time, her mother often extorted money from her aunt in her name, which was to bring Hevinia to this woman and her husband, mainly to show her husband.
Her husband is also a scholar of music. Although his expertise is not high enough to hold a position in an academy, he has made certain achievements.
And her husband had indeed seen the lines on Hevinia's body which had not yet been completed, and thought that there was a chance that it could become a silver-level line, so Hevinia's mother would hold on to Hevinia.
But the lines on Hevinia's face condensed too slowly, and they had not yet appeared when she was ten years old. Her husband thought he had made a mistake, and he no longer paid any attention to Hevinia and her daughter.
But why did she suddenly show up now?
But the woman soon gave an explanation.
"My husband died of a serious illness," the woman said. "He lost his job before he died and lay in bed for half a year, unable to do anything. I was the only one who could take care of him, using the family savings to take care of him."
The woman's tone was full of resentment.
"He can't make a penny, his temper is getting worse and worse, and he has problems in that area. I haven't even gotten pregnant with a child in all the years I've been with him, and I don't even have the chance to breed."
"I'm not here to listen to you." Mandy was already impatient, so she said coldly, "I'll give you another minute to explain it clearly."
"Ah, yes, ma'am!" The woman didn't dare to talk about irrelevant things anymore. "What I want to say is that my husband drew the lines on Nia's body because he said he had never seen such lines. When he was bedridden for half a year with nothing to do, he kept studying the lines. After studying for more than half a year and reading countless books, he said something was wrong and that Nia's lines should be gold."
“But after comparing the patterns of all the scales, he kept saying that they didn’t match or something. He said that the pattern didn’t look like the normal seven notes, but more like some kind of…” The woman tried hard to recall something, “some kind of silk thread?”
Hevinia's eyelids couldn't help twitching.
She didn't expect that the woman's husband could research to that extent, and she began to regret letting the woman say so much.
So, she put her hands behind her back without leaving any trace, and slowly pulled them back into her clothes.
Soon, her fingertips felt something cold; it was her staff.
At the same time, she was also observing the expressions of the people around her, wanting to see if anyone had heard anything, but fortunately no one showed any abnormality, and their expressions were basically the same, looking forward to the fun.
After all, it is basically impossible for ordinary people to know the existence of the spectrum.
At least the woman’s husband and the servants standing here at the moment could not know.
The only person who may have access to the genealogy information here is Mandy, the female head of the family.
Fortunately, Mandy's brain was as white as her face. Apart from impatience, there was no other emotion on her face at the moment.
Hevinia felt a little relieved, and then looked at the woman again, who was still talking.
"My husband always wanted to find out the reason, but after being bedridden, he couldn't go to the library to look up information like before, and I had to do other things to make a living, so I couldn't help him." The woman glossed over the topic of making a living, "So until he died, he didn't know the reason. He just told me that after Nia's lines condensed, they should be... No, they must be gold. He couldn't find the answer, but the Hai Luo family would definitely find it, and I also heard that Nia was taken away by Miss Hevinia, so, so..."
At this point, the woman finished telling the whole story, and then she looked at Hevinia and Mandy cautiously, as if she was still afraid that they would not believe her.
After listening to this, Hevinia had more thoughts.
She could guess that the woman wasn't telling the whole truth.
For example, when her husband told her the information about Jin Jie, it was probably not a will, but he hoped that she would come to the Hai Luo family to exchange something with this information.
For example, money that can allow him to receive treatment and give him a chance to continue living.
Because I'm about to die, I can do anything.
But the woman was different. She obviously didn't dare to do it. After all, the man didn't have any solid evidence, so it wasn't a wise thing to go to the Luo family in Shanghai. So until the man died of illness, the woman didn't take any action, because she didn't want to believe her husband from the bottom of her heart.
She would rather try to borrow a seed from the young master of the Hai Luo family, because there is still a chance of success in this way.
The young master of an aristocratic family left behind a high-quality offspring because he couldn't control his lower body. This kind of thing is too common in Shengyin. Didn't Mandy, who was also born a commoner, also rise to the top in this way?
But things are different now, she has been captured by the Hai Luo family.
The Hai Luo family will definitely take back the seeds that she had obtained with great difficulty.
This was not a simple process of taking it back. This process required the use of special music magic, which would greatly harm her body and the notes. In that case, her notes, which were not good enough to begin with, would be demoted to a lower level, making it even less likely that she would be able to change her fate.
It is very likely that it will return to the seed area and continue to be the cheapest breeding tool.
That's why she brought out this information at this time, just for a last-ditch effort.
After all, for her, it couldn't get any worse.
"Is that all?" Mandy had exhausted all her patience after listening to the speech. She looked at the woman coldly and said, "You are good at making up stories, but don't make them up again. You don't even have any evidence, and your husband is dead. You might as well say that you are a gold-level person, but now it has faded. It's so stupid that it makes me laugh."
The woman was anxious: "No, ma'am, I really didn't..."
Before he could finish his words, he was held down by a servant beside him.
"Today is the Seven Syllables. I don't want to waste any more time on you." Mandy ordered the servants, "Take back the things she shouldn't have taken and throw them out."
"yes!"
"No, Madam! No, please don't!" Two magic wands were pressed against the woman's lower abdomen. The woman kept shaking her head, and then looked at Brian, who had never spoken, with the last glimmer of hope, "Master, please! Please help me beg Madam for mercy. This is your child!"
But Brian shook his head and said something that made the woman despair: "What are you thinking? How could I have a child with someone like you? I am willing to cooperate with you, you should be grateful."
After saying this, he ignored the woman and turned to look at Mandy, giving her another innocent smile.
"Mom, I haven't wished you a happy seven-syllable day yet."
Then he looked at Hevinia.
"And happy holidays, sis."
As Brian smiled, the woman was completely pinned down by the servants. Two staffs pierced into her body. She let out a desperate and hysterical scream.
But it was soon suppressed by the sound of fireworks from the seven-syllable band.
Helvinia lifted her hair and smiled, "Yeah, happy holidays."
Mandy's expression also relaxed a lot. After glancing at Brian, she said "Come for a midnight snack" and turned into the house.
Brian immediately followed obediently, and after taking a look at the woman who had fallen to the ground like a dead dog and had no reaction, Hevinia also followed Brian.
At the moment before entering the house, she suddenly thought that maybe that was her last blood relative in this world?
Thinking of this, she turned back again.
But the woman had been dragged away, leaving only a pool of bright blood on the ground.
"What's wrong, sister?" Brian, who was walking in front, turned around and looked at Hevinia.
Helvinia shook her head. "Nothing."
Immediately followed by Brian.
In this Seven Syllables, the head of the Hailuo family, who is also the father of Hevinia and Brian, has not returned yet, so there are still only three people for the midnight snack.
After finishing his midnight snack, Brian yawned and left first. What happened tonight seemed to have no effect on him at all. Mandy didn't say anything else, as if it was just a small episode.
After Brian left, Hevinia also stood up and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, Mandy spoke, and her voice was colder than Hevinia had ever heard before.
"You won't explain, Helvinia?"
Helvinia's body froze.
She turned around subconsciously and saw Mandy staring at her coldly.
"Or do you really think I know nothing?"
