Chapter 66 Explaining the Farce

How to deal with the matter in the end?

Scarlett Hawk still decided not to expose the maid Miss Enya's conspiracy plan, and the money was collected by Scarlett Hawk himself.

According to her, she will slowly find some opportunities and solutions in the future to return the money to his father.

As for how to explain this farce, it was Faust who asked Mr. Shang Boliang.

Shang Boliang came out to explain to Scarlett's father:

It is said that he and Faust used the relationship between the defense and suppression bureau to rescue Scarlett. Because the matter involved the secrets of the imperial condition and governance agency, they could not disclose the specific rescue methods and processes to the public.

Scarlett herself said that she knew nothing about the kidnapping, but she felt that she had been sleeping for a long time, and that was the case when she woke up.

The matter was barely concluded successfully. Scarlett's excessive prank was concealed by Faust. She could understand how sincere her parents' affection was, and that was not a loss.

Shang Boliang asked, "Does Mr. Faust really want to let that maid go? It is too dangerous for servants who conspire to hurt their masters like this."

Shang Boliang frowned tightly: "If you hadn't rescued Scarlett in time, no one would know if the maid would choose to kill someone and silence him later."

In order to seek explanation from Shang Boliang, Faust of course revealed the causes and consequences of this farce.

People like Shang Boliang seem to be unable to understand the maid's motive.

Faust smiled bitterly: "The maid has resigned and moved away. Before she left, Lilulu and I found her and asked the reason for the matter."

Miss Eunya, the maid of Scarlett's mansion, seems to have been working as a servant here very early.

Probably when Scarlett's biological mother was still alive, Miss Enya worked here. She has performed very well for many years, but her salary has been on the same day for ten years and has never increased by a point.

Recently, Miss Enya's mother fell seriously ill. She wanted to borrow money from Scarlett's father to treat her illness, and hoped to take a leave to go back to her hometown to take care of her mother.

As a result, not only did she not borrow money, she was severely scolded by Scarlett's father, saying that she was not honest and hardworking enough in her work, so how could she expect so much?

It is precisely because this incident became the fuse that when Miss Enya gets a chance, she wants to take risks.

Lilulu found it very strange because Scarlett's father cared for Scarlett so much. He was obviously a person with rich feelings and a sense of responsibility. How could he treat the maid at home so badly?

Faust didn't find it strange.

Perhaps neither Shang Boliang nor Lilulu could understand.

But is it really a contradiction to a noble master who sincerely loves, cares for his daughter, and treats a servant stingy and cruelly?

"I don't think this is contradictory."

Shang Boliang believes that people like Miss Enya have received salary from Scarlett's mansion over the years, but have done such a betrayal of the master's family. This is truly a moral depravity.

"Actually, Mr. Faust, you really deserve to bring her to justice."

The maid in Scarlett's mansion had resigned and left. Faust knew that when she left the mansion, Scarlett actually gave her a sum of money as the cost of treating her mother.

Faust had explained to Scarlett again and again that in this farce, her own life was almost threatened.

But Scarlett did this anyway.

Is she so kind that she is a little foolish?

Faust felt that his view of Scarlett Haha had been refreshed. This willful and vain lady at school had such a side.

"So why does Mr. Faust want that money?"

Shang Boliang asked another question: "I remember your financial situation is very bad, what's the harm in accepting this money?"

"Haha, Mr. Shang Boliang said it well, but I hope every penny in my pocket is clean."

"Mr. Faust, integrity is not a virtue of capitalists."

"Then Mr. Shang Boliang, please help me enter the bourgeoisie as soon as possible!"

The maid, Miss Enya, could only respond in silence when facing Faust's questioning.

Soon after, she resigned and left the mansion alone. Scarlett and Faust wanted to go and see the maid together, but in the end, neither of them followed and just walked back quietly.

Scarlett occasionally mumbled slightly, and there was no conversation between Faust and her as a pastime, but the atmosphere did not seem awkward.

Grass and flowers, green leaves and colorful petals, beetles, birds chirping, and the wind in the willow forest beside the streets.

There is also the smell of the resin-containing wood that has just been cut down, as well as the smell of moldy wood that has been stored for a long time, the smell of mushrooms in late summer, and the smell of leaves that have begun to rot in autumn.

Houses outside Yachao Town, chimneys with smoke curling smoke in the distance, foggy cooling towers at Scarlett's factory, and mountains on the other side of the plain.

The thick fog was getting stronger and Faust felt that there was nothing to say, so he sent Scarlett home.

The fog quickly flooded the place where they stood until the mountains in the distance. The red sun sank behind the mountains, and unconsciously dyed the thick fog red, leaving only the poppian flowers on the ridges blooming brightly and visible.

Lilulu asked, "It turns out that the young master doesn't take that money because he is honest... Oh, I was wrong. I actually became greedy and wanted to embezzle the money."

Faust looked at Lilulu with a very strange expression.

"Integrity? I didn't expect Scarlett's father to be so rich! Let's brainwash the young lady of a super rich family like Scarlett into a loyal slave, and then slowly use it.

Isn’t that much more cost-effective than stealing one million now? Capitalists have to learn to invest in long-term! Shang Boliang is still too young!”

"ah!?"

Lilulu felt a great deception: "Didn't the young master say that he is an abolitionist?"

"Well, Miss Lilulu, it still depends on whether the commercial efficiency is high..."

“…scum.”

Faust gave a thumbs up: "This is the best praise for capitalists."

After sending Scarlett, Faust and Lilulu went home together, and Mr. Shang Boliang was waiting for them on Yanan Street.

Although things turned around once, Shang Boliang still admired Faust's keen insight and alert mind.

He took out the introduction letter written by Lieutenant Garbo and the seal of Krupp, and placed it on the table, and then slowly pushed it to Faust.

"His Royal Highness Garbo hopes that Mr. Faust [Friends of Smoky Rain and Red Dust Novels      www.yyhc.info] can participate in the task of the Defense Suppression Bureau..."

"Uh, this, I've rejected her once."

Shang Boliang smiled and said, "I know, the situation is different this time. You may not know that Krupp is an in-depth partner of the Imperial Defense Suppression Bureau, so I have some small authority to help you."

He pointed to the seal and said, "You can become an extra-staff member of the Defense Suppression Bureau, you can also enjoy the treatment of imperial soldiers, and you can also enjoy the various benefits of the Defense Suppression Bureau operators, but you can freely choose whether to participate in the Defense Suppression Bureau mission.

In short, I can help Mr. Faust become a mercenary in the organization of the Defense Suppression Bureau.”

"this……"

Faust's eyes widened and was able to obtain the identity of an Imperial officer, which alone was very attractive.

What's more, being able to be an operator of the Defense Suppression Bureau at the same time will definitely have great benefits for Faust to continue to study extraordinary power in depth.

Most importantly, this extra-staff identity does not have any mandatory requirements, and even whether to participate in the mission can be decided freely by Faust.

The treatment is too good, so that Faust doubts that he is really worth the price?

If something goes wrong, there will be a demon.

===

In the soft blue,

The church bell tower is full of metal spires.

The swallows are lying in a low voice, and the blue lingers in my heart.

The rising sun rises, dyeing the metal spires,

In the wind, the weather vane rusts at a high place.
