Although Anne was weak in character, she was never a naive person. On the contrary, she was very smart, so she was able to keep the store going during the years when her husband went out to fight, instead of closing it down due to poor management and leaving the family without a livelihood.

Especially since she was quite good at herbal medicine, it was definitely not an easy thing to fool such a person.

So what should she do now?

Mia was flipping through the pile of sundries in the house, feeling a little headache.

After a painful flipping through, she finally read everything she could find carefully, including the herbal secret book in the house that was said to have been passed down for nearly a hundred years. But the problem was that these things were useless for the current situation!

Annie was almost going to tear the herbal book apart but couldn't find anything, not to mention anything else. This family was really not rich enough to have enough accumulation - whether in terms of

    Perry thought that it was better to be careful about such things involving efficacy products, otherwise what if the effect was not increased but reduced?Wouldn't that be the end?Derrick nodded and said nothing, just sitting in the corner of the herbal medicine store waiting for Mia to finish her work.Mia didn't let him wait too long, and quickly finished the work at hand, "Officer Derek?"What a coincidence, she was still thinking about going to the police station to ask if she could take Arthur's body back after finishing the work of the herbal medicine store these two days. Unexpectedly, the police officer came to them before she went to the police station."Miss Colette." Derek nodded at Mia, and first told her a happy news, "You can take your father's body back."The new forensic doctor Reed found was very capable. After re-examining Arthur Colette's body, he wrote an autopsy report and recorded the file. Now the body is no longer needed and can be taken back by the family for

    Reed, who was looking at the ships sailing in the distance with a face full of hatred, was confused for a moment. He couldn't understand why he would encounter such an even more unfortunate thing at such a painful moment when he was already so unlucky?Are you serious?Seeing a corpse in the place where he lost his daughter?Does God hate him so much?Reed, whose mind was in a mess, felt a sense of confusion for a moment. He stared at the corpse that floated to his feet and was pushed to hit the land for a long time before he realized one thing: why does this face look so familiar?One thing must be admitted. Putting aside the moral issues, both Ennis and Wright have good-looking faces, which allows them to be recognized by their faces even among a group of bearded hooligans, because they are indeed good-looking, and they have gained a lot of invisible benefits by relying on this good face.Even now, this face that was a little swollen by blisters could still vaguely see its good appe

    Covering her mouth and widening her eyes, Mia stepped back a few steps, looking terrified, and bumped into the door frame, "Who is that? Ennis Colette?"There was still a bit of trembling in her voice, and Jackson grinned. Why did this unlucky girl come to claim the body at this time?But since the relevant person asked, he could only answer, "As you can see, yes, it is Ennis Colette."Although he didn't know this person, wasn't it personally certified by Reed?Poor little girl, she probably wouldn't have thought that she had just experienced a terrible disaster a few days ago, and now she heard another terrible news."......How did he... die?" Mia clenched the handbag in her hand and asked hesitantly, "I mean, is it the same as my father?"Jackson heard fear in her voice.Yes, why not? The girl's father died in an imitation of the Ripper, and now her uncle is dead too. It's hard not to worry about whether she, who is also a Colette, is also on the hunting list, right?He looked at Mi

Why didn’t the general go to find Broussard’s two children? Could it be that…………… The maid was also stunned. Patricia and Catherine? Master Broussard’s two married daughters? What happened to them? Oh oh oh oh, that’s right, they never showed up in this matter from beginning to end! Could they be implicated together? The maid took a breath. No, weren’t these two people in England? How could they go to Africa? “Go and send them a letter!” Old Lady Leamington shouted with shaking hands and a horrified face, and her voice broke. So after another round of chaos, the people sent out brought back the news, “Mrs. Sledge and Mrs. Matt set off for Africa after receiving Master Broussard’s letter, and there is still no news.” Old Lady Leamington rolled her eyes and fainted.

    "I helped her so much, so I deserve to be treated well next time I go to Scotland to chase a hurricane, right?" Lionel said naturally, not feeling that there was anything wrong with him. This is the bastard who wants to kill her brother and take the position of earl. Now that such a big problem has been solved, isn't it normal to provide some help? "Are you sick?" Mars looked at Lionel with a look of a lunatic. He spent so much time and energy, and asked him to help keep an eye on the place, and the result was to find logistics for himself abroad? It's more credible to say that you want to chase people! "Watch your tone, dear Mr. Pellesena, you are insulting a great project to explore the truth of the world." Lionel said unhappily, feeling insulted. What is sick? You can say I'm a jerk, but you can't insult my dreams and pursuits! When Lionel thought of his efforts in pursuing the truth of the world and challenging the limits of human beings, he suddenly burst out with an indom

    What he thinks has nothing to do with Mia. There are so many things going on in Scotland. How can he have time to pay attention to irrelevant people? No matter what project it is, the side effect of rapid expansion is that there is a shortage of manpower, and the same is true for Luwos Manor. Before winter, thanks to Mia's spending, Luwos finally completed the repair of all infrastructure. The various furnishings, artworks, and decorations that were previously piled up in the warehouse can finally see the light of day and appear in the mansion. By the way, the empty warehouses and cellars are also filled with enough food to survive several winters. However, considering the problem of Luwos's growing population, these several winters are still to be discussed. "There are seven people coming from London this time. They are all retired from the battlefield and entered the police station. Together with the local staff, the number of security guards in the entire manor has exceeded 30.

    He hesitated again and again, but finally succumbed to reality. The main reason was that he couldn't delay any longer. If the money didn't arrive quickly, he couldn't afford to delay! Since the seller compromised, the buyer would certainly have no problem. Mia quickly prepared the money and jewelry, and asked the lawyer to bring Lord Desborough, which gave him a big shock. "..." Lord Desborough felt a little sorry when he saw the jewelry inlaid with large diamonds. Putting aside his rubbish vision and indecisive character in business, this lord is actually a person with aesthetic vision, so he was particularly shocked when he saw the jewelry in front of him at this time, "So ugly!" He controlled his mouth and blurted out, and the people around him twitched their eyes. Who can see that these jewels are so ugly without any aesthetic value? But did they say it? Did they say it? Is this something that can be said openly in front of everyone? "......My Lord, let's discuss the value

    Although the wind is strong and cold, Scotland has a long coastline with the Atlantic Ocean in the west and north and the North Sea in the east, and is rich in products. Not only seafood, but also agricultural products and animal husbandry products. Scotland, with its small population and large land area, plays a good role as a resource provider. The British Empire provides a lot of food and uses its own rich mineral resources to help Britain expand. In short, whether it is seafood, land products or mineral products, Scotland's resources are very rich, and there is even oil here! And the geographical location is also good, with easy access to all directions. If you live here and don't buy a dock and run it well, Mia feels that it is a shame for herself. "There is a dock that is intended to be sold, but the price is overflowing." Bol frowned and looked at the notebook in his hand. He was not good at this. "According to the investigation, the owner of this dock has always wanted to

    Located in the north of England, the wind here is too strong, and the place is empty. If you don't take care of the heating and other basic facilities, the winter will probably be miserable. "How is the mansion in London?" Mia asked Paul, picking up the property list and turning a page. The three brothers Maurice, Emeril, and Dominic left too much property. With the things left by Elizabeth, Mia's current net worth can be said to be comparable to the wealth under the name of the Earl of Lymington, but it is indeed richer than most nobles. To put it in a distant way, the wealth of the Viscount Bridgerton family, who had met Arthur and Derek in London before, was just a child in front of her, and it was not worth mentioning at all. However, the property left by the individual was too complicated, which was also a problem. Even after arriving in Scotland, Mia did not really deal with all these things. Movable property such as jewelry, books, wine, artworks, weapons, furniture, stock

    "It's difficult, but possible." Mia touched her chin and gave an answer, "But now my ability can only reach the lord at most, and it can definitely be inherited. Maybe in a few years, I will have more power when I reach a higher level. At that time, it shouldn't be a big problem to operate a baron or even a viscount." Operating the title of nobility is something that every powerful person can do, but it also requires a little something. Mr. Holmes is too young now and can do more. "Will you operate a noble title for yourself in the future?" Arthur asked curiously, and it sounded like Mr. Holmes was very powerful. "Emmm... I think so." Mia showed a subtle smile, which made Arthur very curious, "Why?" The title of nobility is so good, you can get a lot! Even if you are very satisfied with the current situation, you can't deny that a noble can do too many things, and they are more vulnerable than ordinary people? As long as the position is high enough, there will be a lot of power a

    "Woo woo woo?" Arthur covered his face and pretended to be a monster, trying to get away with it, but the other party was not fooled at all. "Do you still remember your grand wish?" Seeing him like this, Mia smiled slightly and whispered the devil to herself, "You said that when you grow up, you will take back what Patricia took from you, but you don't want to learn anything now. What can you rely on to fight against her when you grow up?" Do you really think that you can completely take back your power by relying on the status of the earl? Although my cheap grandfather did a lot of immoral things, he was also an excellent graduate of a decent public school and university. No matter what he studied, his grades were indeed good, and his political skills were not bad. If it weren't for the appearance of Arthur, an heir who was easier to control and manipulate, he might not have died so quickly! But what does Arthur have?
