Whispering Verse

Chapter 3005 Family Love

After the carriage carried Shade and Megan to the local Dawn Church, the two went through the same process as before, except that they first changed into the clergy robes of the Dawn Church.

Except for Linda Bennet, the third daughter who has been removed from the family, all six members of the Bennet family are here. The Bennets shared a room with their youngest son and their three remaining daughters in the same room. However, it was not very crowded, and the isolation review room inside the Dawn Church was quite large.

Shade and Megan went out tonight just for this family. Before finally taking action, this should be the last time he could have such complete contact with everyone in this family.

Because perception and detection were ineffective for them, Shade and Megan did not plan to cast spells to do anything. After getting a trolley for midnight snacks just like they did at Creation Church, the two first went to the rooms of the three daughters of the Bennet family.

Because of the precedent of Linda Bennett and what happened just now, Shade can't help but suspect that there is a relationship between Jane Bennet (the eldest daughter), Philly Bennet (the second daughter) and Catherine (the fourth daughter). , it is unclear whether anyone is still involved with the mermaid.

It is worth mentioning that Shade had only been related to Jane Bennet before. The eldest daughter of the family is now engaged to James Cumming, but she does not know that her husband's father is actually the son of her love rival. Very complex.

The second daughter of the Bennet family, Philly Bennet, is the most beautiful of the four daughters, and according to the rumors that Miss Bell inquired about, she is also the smartest girl of this generation in the entire family.

As for the sixteen-year-old Catherine Bennet, Shade had only met a few times, and all he knew about the girl was from Miss Bell.

But fortunately, none of the three restless girls showed any signs of being suspicious, and no one suddenly asked Shade if he liked mermaid stories or suddenly revealed his breasts. However, this does not mean that they are all ordinary people. Shade still remains vigilant.

"Priest, do you know when we can leave? I heard from my father that the hotel at home has also been sealed."

Philly Bennet, who had just read a copy of "Dawn and Hope", asked Shade, and Shade gave the answer according to the pre-prepared words:

"Please rest assured that what happened today was not deliberately targeted at your family. Besides you, there are many people who have been temporarily quarantined for review. After the church confirms the problem, it will let the innocent people go home, and the church will make up for your losses."

From behind, there was the sound of Megan and the other two Miss Bennet putting the food from the dining car on the table.

"Think about the Kant family some time ago. No, no, I'm not threatening. I mean, if you compare the treatment of Director Kant's family with yours, you can see the difference in the church's attitude. The shadow of glory follows the dawn, Ban Miss Nutter, Dawn never hurts a good person."

As he spoke, he skillfully drew the holy symbol of the Righteous God [Mr. Dawn] on his chest. After all, one of the character settings given to him by the foreigner was a believer of this Righteous God.

Of course, the clever Miss Bennet is still worried:

"But we have answered all the questions from the church. The nun in the afternoon even asked each of us to write down what we said. Do you also want to ask us some questions? Father has said before that no matter who among us If you own a hotel, remember not to provide free late-night snacks to guests unless their last name is Anjou.”

Now that she said so, Shade didn't mind asking a few questions. However, considering that the church must have already asked in detail in the afternoon, and he can ask the church for the inquiry records later, he should ask about something that the church should not be too concerned about at this time. But compared to men, it is obviously better for Meghan to speak up. This is something they discussed on the way:

"Are your tutors usually very strict?"

Philly Bennett gently nodded to this ordinary-looking "nun":

"Usually our mother is the one who disciplines us at home. People in the city actually know that our mother is always worried about our marriages, so she pays great attention to cultivating our character. It's just sometimes."

"She would be too strict."

Sixteen-year-old Catherine said that the young girl obviously has little wealth compared to her two sisters:

"Sometimes I feel that my mother will marry the four of us as the most important life task after she gets married. Although people in the city sometimes say bad things to describe my mother, my mother still loves us very much. Actually, I feel that it doesn’t matter if I can’t get married. In the future, whether my sisters inherit the hotel or my brother inherits the hotel, we will not be short of living expenses.”

The eldest daughter Jane put her hand on her sister's shoulder in time to prevent her from saying more true words:

"My mother hopes that we will get married and marry well, which is actually good for us. We can't eat sweets after seven o'clock in the evening, tie our waists as tightly as possible when attending banquets, don't go out casually on Saturday nights, and don't look at nobles. A love story novel about a young lady and a poor man”

She couldn’t speak anymore, so Meghan asked with a smile:

"I understand the rest, but why not go out casually on a Saturday night? Because Sunday night is safer than the night before?"

"We don't know the reason. This is an 'order' that our father asked our mother to give us. It is also a rule that a few fathers require us to abide by."

"Your father usually cares about business matters and rarely pays attention to you?"

Megan asked again, and the three Miss Bennets shook their heads together:

"My father loved us very much. Sometimes my brother Albert would say that my father cared more about us four sisters than him."

When talking about their elder sisters, the three girls felt a little sad:

"My father is a person who takes good care of his family. His love for our family is not as obvious as my mother's, but his deep love sometimes makes us happier than my mother, especially when my mother is talking about our future marriage. "

The three sisters did not hate their mother for wanting to marry them off, but Mrs. Bennet's hope that each of her daughters would marry well made the girls who were gradually maturing feel strange.

Of course, this reflects the mother's concern for her daughters, but the comments from neighbors and acquaintances are not too wrong - this woman, who was born in the countryside and is sometimes sarcastic, regards her daughter's marriage partner as part of her own dignity.

However, the stranger is not Bennet, so he has no position to evaluate the relationship between Mrs. Bennet and her daughters.

Judging from the narratives of Miss Bennet, this is indeed just an ordinary businessman family in a rural city. Although it retains the aristocratic style of several generations ago, it has gradually "degenerated" into an ordinary family. A father who is busy with business but still cares about the family, a somewhat vain mother who is responsible for maintaining relationships within the family, four daughters who are growing up and facing marital problems, plus a still young son, this should be a happy family.

Not many valuable things were asked from the Bennet ladies, and when Shade and Megan went to deliver supper to the Bennets and the boy Albert, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as before. As soon as I walked to the door of the room, I heard a faint noise in the room, which was theoretically soundproof.

Of course there was someone guarding the door of the room. Seeing Shade's suspicious look, the ring warlock in charge explained:

"It was Thomas Bennet who was quarreling with his wife. The lady seemed to think that it was all Thomas Bennet's fault that the whole family was invited into the church."

"Why? What does she know?"

But the middle-aged nun shook her head:

"The woman said that in order to cure her, her husband consulted a witch doctor in a small village outside the city to get the secret recipe. This may be the reason why their family entered the church."

"this"

Even Meghan doesn’t know what to say:

"The church believes that witch doctors are also illegal occultists. Doesn't it go back a thousand years?"

"We cannot require everyone to have a common sense of history."

"But what illness does Mrs. Bennet have that she needs to consult a witch doctor to treat?"

Shade also asked, Miss Bell's survey did not mention that Mrs. Bennet had an emergency recently, so the nun on duty answered:

"It's probably chronic pneumonia. I heard that she coughed from time to time, and when I investigated the background of their family, the investigation file said that when the couple first got married, it was the low point of the Accordion Hotel business. At that time, the couple fired The cook and accountant stayed at the hotel day and night. Mrs. Bennet's illness was probably caused by overwork at that time. We checked her and found that it was not caused by any extraordinary factors. "

At this moment, it is not so much the couple arguing, but Mrs. Bennet complaining loudly and unilaterally about her husband. Shade and Megan listened in the corridor for a while, and found that Mr. Bennet hardly spoke, and if he did speak, he just wanted to calm things down.

"So the three girls who just said that Mr. Bennet loves them more than his younger son are indeed right."

Shade said softly to Megan, and the witch nodded:

"Yes, the little son was in the same room with them, but when they started arguing, they didn't even think of sending him to another room first."

She sighed in her heart, "It's really not her biological child," but she actually didn't pity the boy very much. The witches hated any male creature equally - Shade's gender was now a mystery to them. Shade knocked lightly on the door twice, and the quarrel in the room stopped.

The room where the Bennets and their youngest son lived had the same layout as the rooms of the three sisters. A small hall connected the large bedroom and the small one. In addition, the large bedroom also had a small bathroom.

The quarrel took place in the small hall. When the gas lamp with the shape of a ball bulb in the brass ring on the wall illuminated Shade and the Witch at the door, the couple greeted them as if nothing had happened just now.
