Chapter 190 Calculation
When hearing Mandy's words, even Hevinia, who had experienced countless similar incidents, couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
Hevinia had anticipated Arianna, Daphne, and others before, but she had never thought of her "mother" Mandy.
After all, the character of Mandy, an unlearned and silly girl, has been deeply engraved in Hevinia's heart.
So when Mandy said this, Hevinia didn't know whether her disguise was just a joke, or Mandy's disguise was even more sophisticated and more cunning than hers?
Hevinia couldn't tell, she really couldn't tell, but she still clutched the staff hidden in her sleeve and tried to keep her tone as calm as possible: "I don't quite understand what you are talking about, mother."
The corners of Mandy's mouth lifted slightly.
Those eyes that seemed to have seen through everything made Hevinia feel deeply uneasy.
Then, she heard Mandy slowly say, "Don't play dumb. I'm your biological mother. Do you think you can hide those things from me?"
……Um?
Hevinia's brows furrowed slightly.
Why does something seem wrong?
Before she could figure it out, she saw Mandy pick up the teacup in front of her, drinking tea elegantly while saying in a leisurely tone: "I think the girl named Nia does exist? And, she has been dealt with by you, right? Don't try to hide it from me, Hevinia, you can't hide this kind of thing from me."
Helvinia was silent.
It took her several seconds to figure out what Mandy meant.
Mandy also took Hevinia's silence as a sign of being seen through, and seemed even more pleased with herself.
"Don't be nervous, Hevinia." Mandy put down the teacup and tapped the table lightly with her fingers, as if tapping Hevinia at the same time. "You were only discovered by me, not by your father. If your father knew about this, he would not be very happy. But I am different. I am the closest person to you in this world, right? No matter what you did, I will forgive you."
After a brief brainstorm, Hevinia slowly loosened the staff from her sleeve.
Fortunately, her adopted mother performed as stably as she had imagined.
While she was relieved, Hevinia decided to play along and continued to maintain a serious expression: "What do you know?"
Mandy was also very satisfied with Hevinia's reaction. She didn't know why, but she always enjoyed the feeling of controlling Hevinia.
"I know everything you did in the seed area," Mandy said, "but I never exposed you. Do you know why?"
"Because you are my mother."
"Yes, because I am your mother. This is the most important reason, but not the only one." Mandy said, "Another reason is that I am not against you doing such a thing. On the contrary, I am very happy that you will do it, because your idea once again proves the bond between us mother and daughter. Even without saying anything, we can both realize what our biggest enemy is in this family."
Helvinia said nothing.
Because she really didn't know what Mandy's biggest enemy was.
Fortunately, Mandy quickly gave an explanation and raised a finger.
“Uniqueness.”
She then pointed at herself.
"I am not your father's first woman, but now I am the first lady of the Hai Luo family."
Then he pointed at Hevinia.
"You are not your father's first child, but you are the future head of the Hailuo family. Why is that? It is because you are the only Jinyin in the Hailuo family, so no one of your age can shake your position."
Then he pointed at himself.
"And I am the biological mother of Jin Yin, the only child in the Hai Luo family, so no one can shake my position. Even if they try to flirt with me, it will be useless. The uniqueness of my mother and I is the greatest guarantee of our status in this family."
Hearing this, Hevinia finally understood what Mandy meant.
Mandy didn't want to see another Jinyin appear in Hailuo's house.
If there is another Jinyin, she will immediately replace Mandy's position.
Because she is not a member of the Hai Luo family, the best way to truly bring her into the Hai Luo family is for the head of the family to marry her, which would create an unbreakable relationship.
As for the age difference?
For the nobles, a difference of several decades in age is not a problem at all; the most important thing is the musical scale.
If it weren't for the fact that Hevinia was a descendant of the Hero family and that as a noble she still had to care about ethics, then Hevinia would be more suitable than Mandy to be the first lady of the Hero family.
From this point of view, Mandy was the last person who wanted to see the Hai Luo family find a golden sound in the seed area, especially a female golden sound.
So, Mandy was very satisfied with what Hevinia did (in her eyes) in the seed area.
The only thing I'm not satisfied with is...
"We are of one mind, mother and daughter." Mandy said, "You should have told me in advance when something like this happened, instead of waiting until the bomb exploded before thinking of me. If it was your father present today instead of me, it would be difficult for you to explain clearly, understand?"
Now that things had come to this, Hevinia naturally knew how to deal with Mandy, so she replied obediently, "I know, Mom."
Mandy's face was filled with more satisfaction: "Just remember to discuss this with me first if something like this happens again in the future. You should know that I have crossed more bridges than you have walked."
Having said this, she paused, and then continued.
"And that woman, she is a hidden danger after all, get rid of her and don't attract anyone's attention."
"Also, even if your father finds out, don't say that I asked you to do it, understand?"
"You are your father's biological daughter. No matter what you do, your father will forgive you. But it's different for me. Got it."
Hevinia continued to nod obediently: "I won't let you down."
"Very good." Mandy said with a smile, "Then go ahead and do it. Make sure you finish it before you return to school. I will cover for you for the rest."
When Hevinia heard Mandy say that she would cover for her, an idea suddenly occurred to her.
"This place is still too conspicuous." Helvinia said, "Can I go to the seed area? It's safer there."
"Of course." Mandy nodded slightly, "After all, this kind of thing can't be done in person no matter how you think about it."
…
A few minutes later, Helvinia returned to her room.
Bai Wei's voice also sounded at the right time, with a hint of sigh: "It's really rare."
"What's so difficult?"
"It's rare to meet such an idiot." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Your mother is really a breath of fresh air among all those old bastards. The stupidity in her eyes is enough to make me wet."
Bai Wei's series of strange metaphors made Hevinia a little unsure of how to respond. She was silent for a while before saying, "That's not my mother."
"Um?"
"My mother is worse than her."
"Really?" Bai Wei asked, "What about your father?"
"Never seen it before." Hevinia didn't want to dwell on this topic for too long, so she quickly changed the subject, "I decided to go to the seed area to sort things out."
"Go get rid of your best friend's father?"
Dead bestie...
It seems to be true.
Helvinia resisted the urge to complain, and instead asked, "What do you think?"
"I have no objection." Bai Wei slowly put his left hand in a "chest-crossing" gesture, "To be honest, I'm not good at this kind of intrigue and conspiracy, so I'll leave this part to you, you're better at it. When you can't control the situation, just leave it to me."
Hearing Bai Wei say this, Hevinia suddenly felt a very strange sense of "security".
Although she knew clearly that using Visas' power would come at a price, she still had the thought, "It's okay, as long as Visas is here, I won't fail no matter what."
This was completely different from the feeling of trepidation and caution she had felt in the past year as Hevinia.
No... I can't be so complacent.
Hevinia bit her lip lightly, using the pain to remind herself to be alert at all times.
Because she is just one person.
And it's always just one person.
"I'm going to rest," Helvinia said.
"Really?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "Good night then, Miss Helvinia."
This time, Hevinia slept inexplicably peacefully.
I slept almost until dawn.
When looking at the warm sunlight shining in from the window, Hevinia was actually in a trance for a moment, wondering if she was still dreaming.
She tried calling Bai Wei, but got no response, which made her feel a little relieved.
She immediately got up from the bed, tidied her appearance quickly, and went downstairs to have breakfast with Mandy and Brian. Then she suggested going out for a walk.
Mandy, who had discussed this with Hevinia last night, naturally would not stop them, and she even stopped Brian who wanted to go out with her.
However, when Hevinia went out, she still asked a servant to go out with her.
The Helen Territory, to which the Hailuo family belonged, was a small town with only a few thousand people. Almost everyone in the town knew Hevinia, so when they saw Hevinia, they would greet her with fear and trepidation.
And Hevinia also maintained her original personality, and responding with a smile was considered a great mercy.
She wasn't just strolling around, and soon she stopped in front of a man dressed as a farmer.
But she did not approach the man immediately. Instead, she casually sent her servant to a tavern nearby to buy a wine called "Rose".
"Rose wine?" The servant was a little confused. "Is there such wine?"
Helvinia looked at the servant and said calmly, "Can't you just go and ask if there is one? You won't even take two steps?"
Seeing what Hevinia said, the servant dared not say anything in rebuttal and immediately trotted over.
Then, Helvinia walked slowly to the farmer. The farmer was very surprised when he saw Helvinia walking towards him. Then he wanted to bow in fear, but he heard Helvinia said bluntly: "There is a troublesome guy who knows the identity of Helvinia's golden genealogy. You should inform your father to get rid of him to avoid any trouble."
After hearing what Hevinia said, the panic in the farmer's eyes disappeared, but he still looked surprised.
"Miss Helvinia, what are you doing..."
"I've already recognized you, do you still need to say so much nonsense?"
Hevinia motioned for the farmer to look behind him, and the farmer looked over and saw that the servant who had just entered the tavern had walked out and was walking towards this side.
The farmer had no choice but to ask, "What kind of person?"
Helvinia told the farmer the woman's name. She believed that with Haddock's ability, it would not be difficult to find her.
Then she said in the shortest possible time: "Don't solve it in town, take it to the seed area. Tomorrow I will also find an excuse to go to the seed area and ask my father to pick me up there."
After saying this, Hevinia turned and left, walking towards the servant from before.
And when she turned around, she also heard the farmer's respectful "I know, miss."
Helvinia nodded slightly, then reunited with the servants from before.
The servant said nervously, "Miss, I asked the boss, and he said there is no such wine."
"Oh, really?" Helvinia shrugged. "No, forget it."
"Should we look somewhere else then?"
"No." Hevinia shook her head. "I'm tired. Let's go back."
Didn’t this just come out?
The servant was even more puzzled, but he did not dare to ask, so he had to go back with Hevinia.
As for the farmer, upon seeing Hevinia leave, he immediately dropped his disguise and found Haddock and the butler at the other end of the town in the shortest possible time.
"She recognized you?" Haddock frowned immediately after hearing what the farmer said. "Did she come to you on her own initiative?"
"Yes." The farmer nodded, "I didn't reveal any flaws."
"Then are you sure that woman hasn't seen you?"
"Absolutely not." The farmer said, "Only the young lady knows my identity, and I just arrived yesterday. Apart from meeting you, I have not come into contact with anyone from the Hai Luo family. Unless they have divine eyes that can see every corner of the town, there is no way she would know me."
Hearing the farmer say this, Haddock felt much more relieved.
The housekeeper also said: "It seems that it is indeed the young lady."
Haddock thought for a moment and said, "Whether it is true or not, do as she says. We really can't let that woman live. As for what happens next, we'll see the outcome in the seed area tomorrow."
