C54

In Rhine's small courtyard, the grandfather and grandson sat in silence, sipping tea.

Lin Ke didn't rush to ask who that person was because there weren't many people in the clan who could know about his previous trip. No matter which one it was, it would be the clan's sorrow or even loss.

He quietly sipped his tea before slowly replying, "It won't be the clan elder or Burton. If it is, then it won't be either."

Rhine looked at him and smiled, "Cohen, my grandson, I am surprised at your bearing, but in fact, you are not the elder of the family or Burton," he said with a hint of sadness that could not be described, "you are the widow of your sixth uncle, your sixth aunt, Daisy's mother."

Link suddenly raised his head and stared at Rhine with disbelief in his eyes. After a while, he let out a light breath and said, "Daisy …" Mother … "How could it be …"

"Your sixth uncle was just like your father, proud and arrogant since childhood, they felt that what I can do as commoners, they can only do as nobles, alas, your father and mother are free lovers, I didn't stop them from being together, even if they don't have to spend every day together they can still know each other, but your sixth uncle is different, even if his marriage isn't a product of politics, at least it won't be good until you have Daisy, your sixth uncle feels that with your sixth uncle's company, they won't be able to persuade anyone until now." "Sigh …"

Lin Ke could feel the complicated emotions and deep sorrow in the old man's heart. He didn't know how to express it. He hated the spy who was almost dead, but he also understood her miserable situation. He felt even more sorry for Daisy.

Rhine shook his head, looking a little tired, "Daisy told Heller, and that's what Errol told me. No one had suspected her from the start, but …" Maybe out of guilt, because if it hadn't been for you, Daisy would have been dead as well, or maybe out of fear, because she knew from the guards she'd come back from, and anyway, she'd told Daisy, this stupid woman, she'd told Daisy! She could have died, but why did she tell Daisy?! "

Lin Ke fell silent, causing the entire scene to turn deathly silent.

"I'll go see Daisy later, no matter what, this matter shouldn't hurt her, she's innocent," Linke stood up and bowed to Rhine, "You should get some rest as well, everything will be fine."

Rhine had recovered his usual solemn expression and said, "Go, my grandson. When we are done with our family's matters, you must remember to find your teacher. He is a wise man, but he will not stay for long in one place."

"Yes, Grandfather," Linke said, backing away.

Daisy shut herself in the house.

No matter if it was Xue'er or Lilisse, they couldn't make her open the door, leaving only a group of servants outside who were hopping up and down in desperation.

After leaving Rhine's small courtyard, Link directly came here, followed by the shadow of Neil.

It was already dawn, but none of the people guarding Daisy's door had taken a rest. It was only then that they could listen to the sounds coming from the inside of the door with their ears pressed against the door frame.

The servants were overjoyed at Lin Ke's arrival.

After hearing the news, he nodded to Xue'er and Lilisse, who had been standing guard there all night, before waving for the other servants to leave.

He knocked on the door for a few times, but there was no sound. He pressed his face against the door and said, "Daisy, open the door. Big brother is here to see you."

There was no sound in the room.

Link looked back at Neil and pointed inside the door. Neil tilted his head and shook his head.

When Linke took two steps back, Neil moved as fast as lightning and struck to the side. Daisy's solid, solid wooden door was smashed by a force, and no debris flew out. He reached out his hand and tore off the shattered door piece by piece.

Rincewind came in through the broken door frame and found Daisy curled up like a wounded kitten in a corner of the big bed. Nothing in the room was out of place. When he reached Daisy's bed, he saw that her closed eyes were quivering and her face was streaked with tears.

"Daisy..." Lin Ke gently caressed Daisy's hair and said, "Big brother came to visit you."

Daisy said nothing, but the tears came again.

"Let's have a good rest today and go with big brother to listen to teacher tomorrow, shall we?" "My teacher is a wise man who even my grandfather would have to praise!"

After a moment of silence, Daisy shook her head.

He patted her on the head and said, "Daisy, I know what you're thinking. Since the Philip family is over, then everything related to it will be over." He kissed her on the forehead and said, "Brother will always love you."

"But her actions almost cost us our lives," Daisy said for the first time, her voice no longer as clear as usual, but husky.

"Don't be silly," Link patted Daisy's head gently, "Without her, there will be others as well. As long as the Fei Li family exists, we won't be safe, but now that he doesn't exist, then it's over."

Daisy shook her head and closed her eyes again.

"I won't forgive her," Daisy said, her eyes closed, her emotions mixed.

Lin Ke sighed, "Don't think about it anymore. Big brother hasn't slept for the whole night and hasn't eaten anything for a long time." He took a cup of water from Xue'er, looked at her gratefully, and said, "Come, Daisy, drink some water and then accompany big brother to eat. Big brother is going crazy from hunger."

"You go yourself, I'm not hungry," Daisy whispered.

Lin Ke couldn't help but laugh as he pinched Daisy's little cheek, "You're already growling and saying that you're not hungry. Let's go, your aunt said that she's going to cook for us. She told me to call the little princess over, otherwise my brother would be punished."

Daisy was still young after all. After listening to Link talk for a while, she was already a little shaken. After being pulled by Link, she finally stood up. With Xue'er's help, she cleaned herself up a little.

"Sister Xue'er, can you check on your mother's cooking? Daisy, Lilisse, and Nirma will be back soon." Lin Ke gave Xue'er a look, and nodded in understanding. Lin Ke was puzzled by her hesitant manner before leaving.

After walking for a while, Linke suddenly patted his head and said to Lilisse, "I think I'll go to the teacher's place the day after tomorrow to listen to him. Why don't I go see your friends tomorrow? Now go see your brother and ask him to come and have a meal with you, Daisy. He's a little boy about your age. "

Daisy pouted as she heard him and said, "I want to be older."

Linke laughed.

Serena was already waiting at the entrance to her own small courtyard, and behind her stood Snow.

When Lin Ke and his group appeared in her line of sight, Xue'er quickly whispered a few words to Selina, who then smiled and went up to him. She first went over to Daisy, who was standing beside him, and hugged the little girl and gave her a kiss on her small, white, tender face, saying, "It's lovely to let Aunt take a good look at our little Daisy. You know, your brother Cohen was just as cute as you were when he was a kid, it's just that he's been getting more and more unlovable over these years."

Link looked helpless, while Daisy smiled embarrassedly.

"You're young Hardy?" Selina came to the side of a skinny boy who looked about ten years old, gently looking at his timid black eyes, and gently caressing his little head, she said, "You have the same beautiful black eyes as Lilith, don't be afraid, just take it as your own home." Holding Hardy's little hand with her left hand, she took Daisy's small head with her right hand and walked into the small yard, while saying, "You kids don't need me to greet you, just come in and find a place to sit."

Lin Ke smiled at Lilisse. He knew that before this, she had been very worried, "Let's go. I don't know how you guys are feeling. Anyway, I'm really going to starve to death."

The meal on the table was very sumptuous, and Lin Ke couldn't help but praise that speed chef's greatness from the bottom of his heart.

He ate in a somewhat indecent way, and his father, Jason, was even more indecent.

"That's right, son, that's how it is for men to eat like this. When you get to the army, you'll find that if you eat like a woman, there will be countless people waiting to kill you!"

Ce'Nedra twisted her long, shapely eyebrows against Jason's ribs, causing him to groan for a moment before he calmed down. However, not long after, his expression changed as he stared at Neel, who still wore his armor and didn't even take off his food, and said, "My God, are you really an Orc? Heavens, look at how you're eating. Shouldn't Beastmen eat like this? You think so?! " "Little girl, your name is Lilisse, right? You need to eat more, and there's also Xue'er, your food capacity is almost not as good as that kitten your grandpa has raised. Look at us, my darling Daisy, we are indeed the children of the Moulters. Yes, that's right, eating so much is healthier than eating so much!"

"Jason, shut up and eat your dinner!"

For a moment, Jason winced as he looked at her. He muttered, "Shut your mouth. How are we supposed to eat? Seriously …"

Everyone was speechless.

Rincewind looked at Daisy, who was sitting on his right. He smiled at her, then looked at Hardy, who was eating carefully on his left. He picked up a chicken leg and placed it on his plate, along with some fish, shrimp, and green vegetables.

Lin Ke sighed in his heart as he revealed a smile and gently caressed his little head.

When he picked up his bowl and started to eat, he found that everyone was looking at him.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Ce'Nedra and Snow smiled at him and continued eating. Jason and Neil pretended it was just a coincidence as they looked away. Lily quickly lowered her head. Daisy didn't know what was happening.

He would never know how gentle he looked to others at that moment.
