Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 106: The relationship between husband and wife
Evan and Duke Wilson hurried to their feet and greeted them.
"Mrs. Meyer." Duke Wilson spoke first.
Mrs. Mel doesn't look as radiant as when she first met. Her face is sallow, her expression is anxious, and her figure is not as tall as when she first met. Her hair was loose, covering half of her face.
"Lord Duke." She raised the corner of her skirt and bowed to Duke Wilson, speaking in a slightly hoarse voice.
Duke Wilson frowned as he looked at him like this, but it was only one day's event that Mrs. Mel would become like this.
"Are you okay?" Duke Wilson asked in a slightly stiff tone.
Mrs. Mayer gave a wry smile and whispered: "I really..."
Duke Wilson couldn't help sighing, with a bit of sympathy in his eyes: "I understand your situation very well, Mel is really ridiculous this time." Speaking of which, Duke Wilson changed his words and looked at Mrs. Mel, who had a sad look in her eyes, said again, "It's just that, even though that's the case, I still can't believe that he would kill people. This is too ridiculous."
Mrs. Mel bit her lower lip with a forbearance in her eyes: "I don't believe he would do such a thing either." Her voice was very soft, and if Evan hadn't listened carefully, he would have hardly heard it.
Duke Wilson nodded with great satisfaction. As long as Mrs. Mel thought so, he was afraid that this woman would do something irrational out of love and hatred.
"Since that's the case, then I want to ask you, does Colonel Mel have any enemies? This time, it's almost like a frame-up." Duke Wilson said very cautiously, just before he came here, Kai Wen reported to him the results of the investigation in the past few days. To his surprise, they found almost nothing. This is almost unbelievable for Duke Wilson, who has almost completely mastered Derain Riel. She was very sure that some kind of force must be targeting him this time.
Mrs. Meyer pondered for a while, her eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, and she glanced at Duke Wilson, but it seemed a little difficult to explain.
Duke Wilson caught her expression and immediately said, "What did you think of? Whatever it is, please say it."
Mrs. Mel pursed her lips in embarrassment, and finally said, "I...I don't know if this is an enemy, before...I saw Charlie and a gentleman quarrel in the study before. , as if the situation was very intense, the gentleman looked very angry, but it was fortunate that Charlie called the housekeeper in, which did not cause more serious consequences." Charlie in Merv's mouth was Colonel Mel's Christian name.
Duke Wilson couldn't help squinting his eyes. Colonel Mel is not the kind of person who is prone to conflict with others. It is really unusual that he would quarrel with one person this time. He is executing one of his own actions. When it comes to such dirty tasks, he does it with a gentleman's attitude, and is more particular than him. For so many years, Duke Wilson has never seen Mel quarrel with anyone.
"Do you know that gentleman's name?" Duke Wilson looked at Mrs. Mel with a burning expression, perhaps this person was the breakthrough in this matter.
Mrs. Mel pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I... I don't know, but I heard Charlie call him Edson, or something else, I really can't remember."
Adelson? ! Duke Wilson couldn't help widening his eyes, and Evan also looked at Mrs. Mel in surprise. It turned out to be the Ederson. Evan's impression of this gentleman was not very good.
"Did you really hear me right?" Duke Wilson looked at Mrs. Mel with a serious expression, as if he was about to ask something from her in the next moment.
"I...I..." Duke Wilson's attitude made Mrs. Mel flustered for a while, she looked around helplessly, and stammered: "Maybe... maybe I think Wrong..." Her tone was getting lower and lower, completely unconvincing.
Duke Wilson couldn't help but sighed, and gave his temple a favor, but he was already convinced by Mrs. Mel's statement. There is indeed a big gap between Ederson and Mel. Once Ederson even concealed himself, and what was even more bizarre was that their underground power barely gained anything in this incident, which not only made people wonder if Ederson really did anything.
"Okay, don't worry, I understand what you said, I will let Colonel Mel free as soon as possible." Duke Wilson comforted somewhat dryly.
Mrs. Meyer couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "Thank you so much, Charlie is really lucky to have a friend like you."
Duke Wilson nodded, but also lost the desire to speak.
The atmosphere became awkward for a while. Mrs. Mel hurriedly asked Duke Wilson and Evan to come to the living room to sit down, and the servants brought new tea.
Evan took a sip and put the cup on the table. The words just now were what Duke Wilson wanted to know, but he wanted to know more than that.
"Mrs. Mel." He looked at the slightly neurotic woman with a gentle expression, and said softly, "If you have anything, the door of Derain's Church will always be open for you." Mei Mrs. Er is his newest parishioner. She used to come to church with Colonel Mel before. Evan hopes to use this method to soothe her emotions and get more information from her words.
"Oh, Mr. Pastor." Mrs. Meyer's expression was almost a little surprised, as if she hadn't noticed that Evan was here before: "Thank you for your generosity, I see." She was slightly uncomfortable. He nodded, looking like he was making a fool of himself.
Evan frowned a little puzzled. Although Mrs. Mel is a Protestant, if Evan remembers correctly, he is still very enthusiastic about churches and churches. Anyway, he is 10,000 times more enthusiastic than Colonel Mel. , but looking at her at this time, it seems a little strange.
"Are you in trouble?" Evan asked tentatively.
Mrs. Mel subconsciously glanced at Evan, her hands on her knees tightened, a smile was forced out of her face, and she said in a low voice, "No, no, thank you for your invitation."
Evan nodded, but the doubts in his heart did not dissipate.
Afterwards, several people talked a lot about Colonel Mel. Duke Wilson hardly made a sound. Most of the discussions were made by Evan and Mrs. Mel. Evan suddenly found a very interesting phenomenon, even if Colonel Mel did such a terrible thing, but when Mrs. Mel was talking about him, the expression on her face was still flat, and even a hint of softness flashed at certain moments, completely unaware that her husband had cheated on him. He was angry and unwilling, and when he talked about his wrongdoing, his tone became agitated.
This kind of weird emotion made Evan unable to help but sigh about Mrs. Mel. It seems that she may have fallen in love with Colonel Mel to the bottom of her heart. She would betray her feelings and betray her marriage. Being so forgiving made Evan feel a little guilty about the questions he was about to ask.
But Evan will not give up his questioning because of this at all, because he is very clear in his heart that Colonel Mel's imprisonment is a blow to the Duke, so he will stop going around in circles and ask directly: " Did you know about Colonel Mel and Mother Eliza before?" Evan tried to keep his expression cold, he knew very well that, as a victim in a marriage, Mrs. Mel was very likely to know about Mel. After the colonel's betrayal, he made a radical move.
As soon as Evan's voice fell, Mrs. Mel's face quickly turned pale, her lips trembled slightly, and she looked at Evan with a panicked expression.
"You...you..." She was almost speechless: "How could you say such a terrible thing!" She covered her face with her hands, and big tears dripped from her Fingers slipped.
Evan was embarrassed for a while, not knowing what to say.
"Mrs. Mel, you..." Evan wanted to comfort but didn't know where to start.
Mrs. Mel raised her head sharply, tears still raging on her face, but her eyes looked clear and innocent at this time.
"I really don't know, please believe me." She said this, as if she had caught the last straw.
Evan was speechless for a while, he glanced at Duke Wilson, who was sitting on the side with a cold expression, and could only grit his teeth and nodded: "My lady, I'm sorry I said something that made you sad, of course I I believe in you, don't worry, I just want to make sure what Colonel Mayer said so I can find out who actually killed Mother Eliza."
But when Evan said the word "kill", Mrs. Mel trembled, she buried her face in her palm again, and murmured: "Oh, this is so scary, so scary. , I wish it all passed."
Evan looked at her like this, his expression flashed slightly, but his mouth was still very soft: "Please rest assured, it will pass."
"Thank you for your hospitality today." Duke Wilson suddenly interrupted Evan's gentle persuasion and said, "It's getting late, so we'll leave first." He stood up from the sofa and used a kind of Urgent eyes looked at Evan.
Although Evan was startled by him, he would not fight against him, so he also stood up with him and politely said goodbye to Mrs. Mel.
Mrs. Mel looked at Duke Wilson with a little surprise, the tears on her face were still clearly visible, she nodded dumbly, and then sent the two of them to the carriage all the way, and then went back.
After Evan and Duke Wilson sat in the carriage, they said, "What do you think? Is there anything suspicious?"
Duke Wilson frowned: "I didn't think about Ederson at all. It seems that I have underestimated him." Madam's words made him think of another possibility.
Evan nodded: "This point does need attention, but I am very puzzled that Mrs. Mel looks a little wrong, and always feels a little weird." Although Evan said this, in fact he I haven't gotten along with Mrs. Mel, but it just feels a little weird.
Duke Wilson raised his eyebrows. If Evan is just a little unfamiliar, then he really hasn't seen him a few times.
"If you have any doubts about her, then I will find someone to monitor her for a while to see if I can find any flaws, but I think the most important thing at this time is Edson." When Desen, the expression on the Duke's face was very cold.
Although Evan had doubts in his heart, he still nodded his head at this time. The Duke was indeed right. Edson, as long as he thought of this name, his heart would feel a little chilly.
