That's not right.
Something must be wrong. Master Cullen's watch was cold, the reason why Elizabeth called her over was definitely not because she wanted to talk about the kick.
Alice raised her head and looked at the direction of the study, at the tightly closed door. Questions lingered in her mind.
What was going on?
Alice walked down the stairs, but she couldn't help but look at the study.
She really wanted to understand the world inside the door, wanted to know what exactly was inside, especially after Elizabeth's strange reaction.
She accompanied the twins for a while as William was not around. Both of them were told by their teacher to meditate, so Alice had no choice but to leave by herself.
She couldn't shake off that thought.
Alice made some cake and biscuits and invited the two maids who were willing to talk about the Cullen Family to have a afternoon tea.
The three sat under the sun. The environment
was quiet and comfortable. Alice drank a mouthful of black tea and looked at them with a smile.
"Young Madam wants to hear about the Master?" The young maid bit her cake and said, "I'm not too sure about the Master either. I only know that a long, long time ago, Cullen Family, no, it was more accurate to say that the master's mother went up a level. When the family was very honored, it slowly declined, and because she married a Chinese, she was despised."
"Yes, I heard from my grandma that Master was severely rejected when he was still a teenager. It was said that he finally had the opportunity to go to the royal family for a banquet, but was ridiculed by those noble sons and daughters at that time, making him look like a mess. When he returns, he immediately calls everyone in front of him and swears that one day, he will make everyone in England know his surname 'Cullen'!"
Another maid said what she heard.
The inspiring story of a young master after being ostracized was about the same as every king in the world who started his life from scratch.
"What else?"
Alice asked.
"Else? It's nothing. Maybe Master was bullied too much when he was a teenager, right? Even after he got married, he refused to marry a Western woman and chose Madam. Of course, Madam's family background is also very good, and at that time, she was very helpful to Master." The maid said.
"Look at you, it seems like master married his wife for the sake of benefits." Another maid scolded her.
"Heh heh."
Alice smiled. She felt that she wouldn't get anything out of this question, so she started to guide them, "Father sounds like a hero, but it's a pity that I haven't had the chance to meet him."
"Young Madam, have you never met the master?"
The two maids looked at Alice in shock.
"Yeah." Alice pretended to smile bitterly, "It's probably because father doesn't like this commoner daughter-in-law, and my family is very poor."
"Young Madam, don't say that. Second Young Master must have chosen you for something. Besides, Young Madam is the most amiable person amongst the masters of Cullen Family." The maid comforted her.
The other one touched her face, "Speaking of which, I've also not seen the master for a long time."
"You too? " The two maids were shocked to realize that they had not seen Master Cullen for a long time.
Alice quietly sat there and watched their discussion. Her heart sank, "How long has it been since you last saw father?"
"How long?" The young maid began to count on her fingers, and the more she counted the more frightened she became. "Oh, God, I don't think I've seen master for more than a year."
"No, no," said the other, "I think it's been years since the master himself gave us a present on Christmas Day."
"That's because they weren't personally distributed. Last year, I sent tea to the master's study, and I saw him. He was standing by the window and talking on the phone."
"Is that so?"
The two maids discussed intensely, competing with each other to see how long the master had been gone. If not for Alice's suggestion, none of them would have thought about it.
"What about the stewards and servants who have been serving father all this time?"
Alice interrupted and asked. Didn't they say that every master of the Cullen Family would have a butler?
"Master has never liked being served by too many people, unless he goes out, the butler probably resigned a few years ago. I also did not hear that he wanted to hire a new servant, so he let Butler Charles take over temporarily." The maid replied in detail.
Charles?
Charles was too busy of taking care of Elizabeth and her, he also had the task of becoming Master Cullen's butler.
Just as they were talking, footsteps came over, Alice turned her head and saw that Charles was walking over, with two servants behind him carrying a painting in their hands.
"Young Madam, I've already found the painting you told me to look for. Where should I hang it?" Charles walked to her side and said.
His efficiency was really great.
"Let's hang it in William's study room." Alice stood up from the table and left with Charles and the others. Charles did his utmost to fulfill his responsibilities and followed behind her, "Young Madam and maids are on good terms with each other." "Yeah, I made some cake for everyone to taste and also left a share for you, Charles." Alice smiled and said, acting as if it was normal.
"Thank you, Young Madam." Charles followed her into the ancient castle.
Alice walked in, there were many people who carried their luggage downstairs, and upon seeing Alice, all of them lowered their heads, "Young Madam."
