Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

Although Xia Ye was temporarily locked up, Aarons did not really treat her as a criminal.

After all, she was the first to report this matter, and she did not make any move to clear herself of suspicion. It would be too stupid to say that she was self-directed and self-acted to sow discord.

It was just that Aarons had always been suspicious of her true identity, so he used this radical method to test her reaction.

"Did she say anything?"

"No, she didn't ask for anything."

"... Deliver her meals and clothes on time, and don't worry about the rest for now."

In the Marquis's study, the wolf beauty did not return to work immediately after reporting the result to Aarons.

Although she did execute the order, she did not seem to agree with such a judgment.

"Master, do you really think it was Xia Ye who did it?"

"If you insist on me telling the truth... I guess it is highly likely that she did not do it."

"Then why did you do it in front of everyone..."

As if she had guessed something, Karin shut up halfway through her words. Aarons sighed, then shook his head helplessly.

"First of all, this is her own request. Secondly... if it was really done by some ignorant child, should I pull him out and judge him in front of everyone, or throw him out of this house to fend for himself?"

Because no matter what he did, it would hurt these immature children, so Aarons temporarily used Xia Ye as a scapegoat to give those children a chance to reflect on their mistakes.

"And I guess this matter is probably related to that kid Els. He has always been dissatisfied with me, and it's also right to do some petty theft to get revenge..."

However, before Aarons finished speaking, the door of the study was knocked.

"Come in."

Only those with the blood of the Marquis family can control the barrier that protects the room and the mansion. So without Aarons' permission, it is impossible for other people in the Marquis's mansion to enter the study.

"Master, we... Els has something to tell you."

After the door opened, the first person to come in was the young girl Mary, and the young Els followed her with his head down, as if he had made a mistake.

"Look, I said it was related to him."

After seeing the two children, Aarons spread his hands proudly and made an expression of "I knew it was like this" to Karin.

"Just say whatever you want to say. No one else can hear it if you say it here. As for Karin, she won't reveal the secret casually."

"Master, in fact, Els has been hiding something from you. He..."

"I'll tell you myself. Aarons... Master, I have something important to report to you."

Looking at Els's hesitant and frightened look, Aarons suddenly sneered and deliberately frightened the child who was actually only five or six years younger than him.

"To make a long story short, I don't want to hear stories and personal feelings."

"...I have been helping Grandpa Raul after my recent exercise. Last night, Grandpa said he had to go out for something, but he didn't want to worry everyone, so he asked me to help."

After hearing the name of another person who was not present, Aarons swallowed back the ridicule he had just thought of.

Raul - the only old gardener left in the Marquis's family, could this matter be related to him?

"Because Sister Karin has been guarding the gate, Grandpa couldn't avoid her and leave alone, so he asked me to find a way to lead Sister Karin away for a while."

"...You asked me to correct your exercise posture last night, so it was for this?"

"Let's talk about the details later. Els, continue."

After raising his hand to stop Karin's questioning, Aarons' expression began to become serious.

"I don't know what grandpa is going to do, and he came back in less than half an hour, so I didn't ask."

"... The old man has no family for a long time. Who is he going to give the money to?"

Although he thought for a moment whether Els was lying, Aarons quickly denied this guess - if it was really this kid who secretly took the money, he would have run away with his girlfriend.

"What you said may indeed have something to do with the theft at home, but this young master has no way to verify whether what you said is true."

"... Grandpa Raul is very kind to us and has always taken good care of us. But... If Teacher Xia Ye had not been wrongly accused and locked up, I would not have said such a thing."

It seems that this kid came to provide clues because he felt guilty after seeing his punishment of Xia Ye.

But... ifIf the old gardener really did it, why did he steal things from the mansion?

"To be honest, I don't believe that the old man did it. But whether you say this is true or not still needs to be verified... Karin, put this silver coin in the kitchen and put it in a conspicuous place with some food."

After thinking for a while, Aarons took out a silver coin from the drawer. But before he handed the money to the wolf beauty, he specially wiped it with the ink at hand.

"If this silver coin is gone, come and notify me, and the little ghost and I will go out and find a place to hide first to see who took the things away."

"What about the task of guarding the door?"

"Just do it normally. If it was really done by the old man, he should ask Mary to help you divert it."

Although the plan was made, Aarons still felt that this matter was a bit strange.

The reason why the old gardener worked in the Marquis's house until this age was because he had lost his family a long time ago. And he had not stolen things from the mansion with the servants before, so why did he do this now?

"You go down first, I'll go talk to Xia Ye alone."

"Master, please don't embarrass Teacher Xia Ye... Everyone likes her lessons."

Aarons nodded, agreeing to the children's request.

After Karin and the two children left the room, Aarons picked up a few books and took them to the basement of the Marquis's mansion.

This is actually not a prison cell for prisoners, but a warehouse for storing miscellaneous items. However, because Aarons was very naughty when he was a child, the Marquis would sometimes lock him up here to let him reflect on his mistakes.

And because the Marquise at that time was still very distressed about her children, a toilet was specially set up in this warehouse. Later, after Aarons fell out of favor at home, he often came here alone with storybooks to kill time.

So even if Xia Ye was locked up in it, she would not feel very uncomfortable.

"...Master?"

"I brought you a few books. If you are bored, read them."

After handing the books in through the fence window, Aarons began to observe the girl of the Aries tribe carefully.

Although she never showed any expression, her beautiful features and white hair showed a cool temperament, which made people feel pity for her.

It's a pity that such a woman might have some secrets that cannot be told.
