Leah insisted that she must save people, making it very low to steal out of the manor.
So Lola proposed to make a big vote and encourage more people to join in the escape. However, she was very cautious and didn't immediately tell others the news. On the contrary, she only revealed it to a few trustworthy people at lunch the next day to make them ready.
This can avoid the information leaking ahead of time as much as possible. On the other hand, Leah also has something important to do. She will take advantage of the opportunity to tidy Malcolm's study once a week to bring out all the letters related to Norman and Raymond.
Leah's biggest worry was that Malcolm was still in the study when it was time to clean.
But the good news is that Malcolm seems to have something to do and left the manor early in the morning.
In the afternoon, Leah came outside the study as usual and said hello with a smile to the guard at the door. As the door closed behind her, Leah also breathed a sigh of relief, but there was not much time left for her to clean up the house after planing.
Leah walked quickly to a bookcase and opened the lower drawer, but there was nothing in it. Leah was surprised that the letters were still in it when she cleaned last week.
Is it because of the recent tense atmosphere and the continuous affairs of Nadia and Daisy, Malcolm has let people transfer all the important things in the study?
But from the storage and placement of the letters, Malcolm didn't pay much attention to them.
Leah forced herself to calm down from the confusion, thinking about all kinds of possibilities. Meanwhile, she kept on searching the study, but she never found any trace of those letters.
Leah's heart also began to become more and more nervous. But at this time, she made a mistake. When she stepped back, she accidentally ran into a shorter cabinet on the other side, and the double ear porcelain bottles on it fell down.
When Leah turned to pick it up, it was too late. The porcelain bottle fell to the ground. Fortunately, the carpet was still on the ground. The porcelain bottle was not completely broken, but one ear was broken.
Leah's face turned pale. She knew that this was Malcolm's favorite porcelain vase. It was brought back by some adventurer from a remote and mysterious ancient oriental country. It was priceless. It was hundreds of times her price alone. She used to be very careful when cleaning it.
But this time, because she was distracted by the letters, Leah didn't notice her back, which led to a big mistake.
But before Leah could think of a remedy, she heard footsteps coming from outside her study.
That's Malcolm's unique step. The frequency is faster than ordinary people, but every step is very stable, and the interval time is almost the same, just like himself, efficient, serious and calm.
The guard outside pushes the door open for Malcolm, who picks his eyebrows and sees Leah holding the vase with one hand and wiping the cabinet with the other.
Malcolm seems to be in a good mood today. He says to Leah, "don't clean up. Let's go to the kitchen and bake some veal chops."
"Well, haven't you had lunch yet?" Leah turned to cover the jar with her body and tried to squeeze a smile on her face.
"Well, I had two mouthfuls of apple pie on the way, but it tasted mediocre." Fortunately, Malcolm did not look this way, picked up the bottle, Leia quickly came over, poured half a glass of red wine for him, Malcolm moistened his throat.
"I heard Wallace say you have a good relationship with daisy."
Leah was surprised to hear that Malcolm suspected her, but she listened to the latter and said, "do you know who she is closer to?"
"This..." Leah hesitated.
"What's the matter? Are you afraid to tell me that you will be pushed out by others? But aren't you being pushed out by others now? "
Leah was a little surprised. She didn't expect Malcolm to know such a thing.
"It's a surprise that the preferential treatment I give you will naturally cause other people's dissatisfaction. They dare not hate me, so they have to transfer this hatred to you who are closest to me. But in this way, I can also know the unstable elements in the manor. Don't worry, I won't let them hurt you. Don't you find that the people who have the worst relationship with you don't like it See you? " Malcolm drank all the red wine in his glass. "And I can rest assured that you can do things for me."
Leah was not happy when she heard the words, but a chill rose in her heart.
In fact, laeli let her peek at Malcolm's letters before, and there was a trace of guilt in her heart. No matter what other black slaves in the manor thought of Malcolm, at least the latter had always been good to her, and after years of following Malcolm and being influenced by her, although Leia still had black skin, her thinking was actually more similar to the white people on the island Close.
This also makes her an alien in the ethnic group. Sometimes, Leah even feels that Malcolm can understand her better than her own compatriots. The latter plays a similar role as a father and mentor in her growth. Leah does feel a little warmth in this.However, it turns out that this is just her illusion. Malcolm treats her differently, not because of how special she is, but because of the need for a "special" her.
"Well, I'm hungry. Go to the kitchen and cook." Malcolm said, "by the way, the weather has been quite wet recently. Before I leave in the morning, I'll ask people to take out all the letters in the study to bask in the sun. You can go to collect them at sunset."
"All right." Leah nodded and left the study.
…………
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
When the clock in the living room points to 12 o'clock, Laura wakes up another maid in the next bed and tells her that they are ready to run away. At the same time, the same thing happens in another room. Finally, more than 20 black maids meet in Leah's room.
This is almost half of the black maids in the manor. Except for the laeli people, the remaining black women who are willing to escape are basically gathered together. Those who are worried that they will be arrested and punished are tied up and gagged by Lola, so as to prevent them from informing. Secondly, it is also for their good. Otherwise, once Leah and others escape, she will be killed We are bound to be punished.
As for the male slaves, they didn't live here. Other people organized and led them.
Leia's eyes swept through the faces in the room, and she saw the fear, fear, and The desire for freedom, so the next moment her heart no longer any hesitation, said, "let's break the shackles on the neck together, sisters."
