Blackstone Code

The old countess sat on a chair a little away from Lynch, and she raised her hand to stroke her hair.

Her hair is not messy, and there is a gem hairpin on it. It doesn't look childish, but it looks like she has grasped the last tail of youth.

"My husband has bad luck..." She started with this sentence, and Lynch listened quietly.

"It was just a fever, and we didn't pay much attention to his condition. After taking some medicine, the fever was relieved, and he told us that everything would be fine."

"Can you imagine, in the morning he told me what he planned to do for the children, but then he fell into a coma at noon, and he died before he could even make it through the night."

When the old countess said this, there was no sadness in her eyes. At first, she might indeed feel pain or shed tears, but as the matter faded, in the end, it seemed like an insignificant moment in a long and short life. a symbol.

This symbol only represents this page in life, it cannot represent everything, and it cannot dominate the joys and sorrows.

"I'm sorry, ma'am...", Lynch said nonsense, because he couldn't say "I'm happy" at this time.

The old countess raised her hand to stop Lynch from continuing. She shook her head, "It's actually nothing. I used to be sad, but now I'm used to facing these things."

"Some people may think that I am an indifferent woman, but I know that my indifference is because life forces me to be like this."

"After the old earl passed away, his younger brother, younger sister, and the children of his younger brothers and sisters all competed for the position of heir."

"He passed away so suddenly without leaving any will. We had a very difficult time at that time."

The old countess sighed, "Can you understand that feeling?"

"He didn't give me any power, and he didn't give his son any power, but he let his brothers, sisters and even nephews control the key points of the family. We have no chance of winning."

"I took him with me and tried every means possible to finally get back what originally belonged to us."

"During the time when he was growing up, he was always very uneasy. Everyone was better than us, and everyone seemed to have a way to kill us. However, he lacked a father to rely on."

"We had a hard time, as I just said, but fortunately we won in the end. This is the only thing to be thankful for."

Speaking of her children, the countess's face showed a kind of nostalgia for her children's growth, as well as some longing for the future.

She was in a daze for a while, then smiled and apologized to Lynch, "I was distracted..."

Lynch forgave her in a very gentlemanly manner, "It's okay, I understand."

The old countess smiled, "He has been very strong over the years. Sometimes he doesn't act like a child at all. I know he wants to make me feel supported."

"The only person I can rely on now is him. He is forcing himself to become mature. This may be a good thing in the eyes of many people. He does not cause me too much trouble in life and work."

"But I also know that this is not the real him. He seems to be fine, but in fact he suffers from severe insomnia and often cannot fall asleep until two or three o'clock in the night..."

anxiety.

Lynch immediately understood the reason why the little count had insomnia. It was because of anxiety.

Through these simple descriptions of the old countess, a picture appeared in his heart. All his relatives wanted to steal what belonged to him. He had no one to rely on. Young people are always confused about the future.

Especially in adolescence, the secretion of hormones in the body accelerates, and the emotional impact is deepened. He will have a kind of anxiety, fearing that he will suddenly lose something he holds on to, or be hurt by others.

This kind of anxiety has continued to this day, and psychological changes are not easy to reverse. This is not like what people often say, as long as it takes a while, it will get better on its own.

All emotional and sensitive people are the ones most likely to push themselves into dead ends.

When a person lies in bed at night and is dominated by anxiety, all he thinks about is how his relatives will harm him, and how he can protect himself, his mother, and the property left by his father.

He had no way to slow down his emotions and nerves and let himself enter a normal state of rest!

Lynch also had such an experience. After he was arrested, instead of relaxing from his tense state as some people said, he became even more tense.

Those who can say this kind of thing often have relatively simple problems, which can even be said to be simple. For example, just one or two problems have been mastered.

Even the details that the authorities have are more detailed than their own, and they can really relax after being caught.

But Lynch had more than just a few dozen secrets. He had been nervous about how those people would pry open his mouth. He also suffered from insomnia all night long, had difficulty falling asleep, lost his hair, and had yellow urine.

But later he figured it out, since he couldn't get out for the rest of his life, so why bother himself?

Those who are under control will be punished, and those who are not under control will be treated passively, which will kill me.

Facts have proved that no one dares to do that, and some people are indeed considering whether it would be more appropriate to silence them, but after considering the cost of failure, this idea was finally given up.

On the contrary, Lynch lived a comfortable life in a small room, and those outside would pay money to his bank card from time to time to ensure that he could enjoy the best in everything.

Apart from not being able to go out casually or actively contacting others, there is no difference between being inside and outside.

After that number was sewn onto his clothes, he felt completely relaxed, even unrestrained.

He regards the life inside as a kind of further study, a kind of learning, and a necessary way for self-sublimation.

Thinking of those things in the past, a smile appeared on Lynch's face, a smile that only those who have experienced it can understand. Some people call this smile free and easy.

The old countess didn't quite understand, she just felt that the atmosphere in the room became lighter.

She didn't even know that in such a moment, Lin Qi thought of so many things.

She continued, "This period of time is the best time for him to rest. Around 11 o'clock every night, he will fall asleep on time, and he will fall asleep with the lights off."

"I haven't seen him smile lightly in his sleep for a long time, just like when he was a child, like a baby."

"There is no fear, no uneasiness, no sadness, just a faint smile."

"This is all because of you, Mr. Lynch."

The old countess looked at Lynch, "He admires you very much. He always says that you will solve some problems, and he also trusts you."

She looked at Lin Qi, but what she was thinking about was what a noble nobleman from the Privy Council said.

The old man and her grandfather were friends, and the relationship between the two families was relatively close. When she went to the Privy Council recently, the old nobleman had a chat with her.

The main person they talked about was Lin Qi. According to the old nobles, Lin Qi was a very special person. Before anyone else noticed, he had actually mastered a noble force.

Among them, there is the little earl.

The old countess talked about her fear that the young earl and Lynch would be too close together, which would affect the future title situation. It is very difficult for non-hereditary nobles to inherit the title, and they need the emperor's favor.

If their relationship with the emperor was not close enough, they would have to look to the Privy Council.

She was afraid that the young earl would be disliked by the emperor, causing the title to end in his generation.

However, the old nobleman gave the old countess another way of thinking. In the future, the problem of inheriting the title from non-hereditary nobles will become more and more difficult, so why not try to jump out?

The Federation is now developing better and better. It is far from the Federation that people remember. Even Gaevra's invincible navy was defeated by them.

If there is no possibility of conferment in the future, going to the Federation is a very good choice.

The wealth they control is enough for a family to live a very prosperous life in the Federation, a place where money is better than power.

Even if they don't plan to go to the Federation, given the relationship between Lynch and Princess Genia, if a member of the royal family is willing to intercede on their behalf, it is at least very likely that the title can be passed down to one generation.

So no matter which choice you prefer, maintaining a good relationship with Lynch is the best choice.

"No matter what, he will be your staunch supporter in the future, and I also want to thank you for the changes you have brought..."

The old countess stood up and walked to Lynch, "You are very young and amazing. You may have seen a lot of things, some of which I don't even know, but I believe that there is one thing that you I’ve definitely never seen it before!”

…

The little count was in a daze when he came to the racing salon. He didn't hear people calling him several times. He didn't react until someone touched his arm.

For nobles, "affair" is a very interesting game, and "affair" and "cheating" are two completely different concepts at some point.

The little earl vaguely knew what his mother was going to do. He should have hated Lin Qi very much, but for some reason he didn't hate Lin Qi that much.

On the one hand, Lynch helped him solve the problem he had had since inheriting the title, the problem of insufficient funds. Now he has earned enough money to run everything and become self-sufficient.

Secondly, Lynch's ability and magnanimity also made him heartbroken. He admired Lynch very much and admired Lynch in every aspect.

When Lynch was already able to do many big things, he was still like a child. This made him feel a little inferior and at the same time, he trusted and admired Lynch very much.

It doesn't matter. Isn't this a noble tradition?

He told himself this, smoothing away some discomfort in his heart.
