Chapter 1021 Confrontation

Night falls.

Freya arrived at the Viscount's Mansion at the appointed time.

Standing at the gate, looking at this mansion that can be compared to a royal palace, even Freya couldn't help but sigh at how much the master valued Viscount Silver. She just didn't expect that in the end, he would raise a wolf to cause trouble, making this man become a thorn in her life.

Freya sighed deeply.

Even if Viscount Silver is being controlled, his choice to team up with Lady against the master has destined him and the master to never return to the past.

After composing her emotions, Freya walked to the gate, where two guards standing outside stopped her.

"Who are you?"

Freya took out the invitation and handed it to them, saying, "I'm Dr. Jane, invited by Viscount."

The guard checked the invitation, then turned to the other guard beside him and said, "Go inform the Viscount, Dr. Jane has arrived."

"Yes."

The other party turned and left.

But the guard in front of Freya hesitated to let her in, blocking her way outside.

It wasn't until the departing guard returned and said, "Count invites Dr. Jane to enter the mansion!" that the guard finally let her pass.

Freya narrowed her eyes. The security in the Count's mansion was strict, even the guards were so vigilant and meticulous. It seemed that Count Silver was even more difficult to approach than she had imagined.

A servant came to welcome her and led Freya to a beautiful small garden, where the sound of flowing water could be heard from afar.

Freya looked up and saw a clear lake with expensive koi swimming in it. The lotus flowers were just budding, resembling shy young girls.

Taking in the scenery, Freya found it peaceful and pleasant, a great place for recuperation.

Walking through a long corridor, a servant bowed respectfully and said, "Dr. Jane, the Count is waiting for you inside!" After speaking, the servant made a welcoming gesture.

Freya nodded and stepped through the door.

Just entered, they heard a burst of beautiful flute music. Far away, Freya saw a tall figure standing in front, and the flute music was played by him. Upon entering, Freya did not disturb the other party, but stood quietly in place until a piece of music ended, clapping and praising, "I didn't expect Lord Earl to also understand how to play musical instruments, this flute is played really well!" Count Silver turned slowly, laughing loudly, "Doctor Jane, you flatter me. I learned it when I was young, haven't played the flute for many years, almost forgot how to play." After that, seeing that she was alone, he asked, "Where is your husband, why didn't he come with you?" Freya replied, "There was something happening at home, so he went back to take care of it." Count Silver, pretending to be caring, said, "If Doctor Jane needs any help, just let me know, I, Silver, will help the Jane family get through the difficulties." "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Earl. It's just that my mother-in-law fell ill, so my husband went back to check on her. He can handle it himself," Freya said. Count Silver nodded heavily, as if remembering something, quickly added, "Doctor Jane, please have a seat, don't be polite. The dishes will be served soon, we'll talk about the Queen's situation while we eat." Freya also sat down without hesitation, taking the opposite seat.

Soon, the maids came ying after another to serve the dishes. After the dishes were all served, Count Silver dismissed all the servants, leaving only the two of them in the spacious room, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat eerie. After a moment of silence, Count Silver spoke first, "I had a close relationship with your father when I was young. We used to associate with each other frequently, and back then, I even used to hold you in my arms." Freya pretended to be surprised and said, "Is that so? Father and Count are friends? They never mentioned it to us." After speaking, she lowered her eyes, with a hint of darkness in them. Testing herself as soon as they met, it seems that Count Silver is even more suspicious and cautious than she had imagined. Fortunately, she has a photographic memory and knows Everyone about the Jane family, so no matter how Count Silver tries to test her, she can handle it with ease. "Yes, we had some interaction in the past, but later on, Everything got busy, and gradually we didn't interact much." Count Silver sighed with pretended regret. Freya smiled, "Oh, I only know that my father used to be the Queen's private doctor, and it seems he had little contact with the Count. However, since my father treated the Queen and the Count was the Queen's close friend, they probably became friends through the Queen's arrangements." She had investigated the relationship between the Jane family and Count Silver, and there had been little interaction between them in the past, indicating a very strained relationship. However, she did not know the specific reasons behind it.

After Jian Fu entered the palace, he did not have much contact with Silver, not even the efforts of their master to improve their relationship succeeded. These were things that the master had previously discussed with me. Now Silver is using these incidents to test me, clearly with ulterior motives. Silver had been observing Freya's expressions the whole time. Seeing her composed demeanor, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. However, in a matter of moments, he composed himself and said, "Look at me, bringing you here to discuss the queen's condition, and accidentally turning it into reminiscing." "Tell me, what is the queen's current situation?" Freya said seriously, "The queen is not actually sick, but...poinsoned!" As soon as these words were spoken, Silver's expression changed. He looked at Freya with interest and said, "Doctor Jane is not joking. The queen's diet and daily life are meticulously taken care of, how could she have beenpoinsoned?" Since Silver asked like this, Freya did not need to beat around the bush and directly said, "There are no impenetrable walls in this world. It is possible that there are nefarious individuals lurking around the queen, intending to bring her to her demise."

"Rude!" Silver slammed the table in anger. Freya remained calm in the face of danger, looking at Silver with a faint expression, "Why is Count Silver so angry? Did I say something wrong?" She attended the banquet today to observe Silver's attitude, but did not expect him to be so easily provoked.

It's no wonder he fell into Lady's scheme and became her pawn. A man like him made her master blind to consider him a confidant.

Perhaps realizing his own impulsiveness, Silver calmed his emotions and asked softly, "Then tell me, what poison has the queen been subjected to?"

"I am not sure of the specific poison, but I have started developing the antidote. Soon, the queen will be completely cured." By saying this, she aimed to create a sense of urgency in Silver.

People, especially those who worry, tend to feel insecure and are more likely to make mistakes in such situations.

Indeed, her risky move had already shaken Silver's limits.

He now looks restless, which proves that he is already afraid. After all, if ying does not do anything wrong, they should be free from guilt. But once they commit a dirty deed that cannot be seen, they will inevitably endure the condemnation of their conscience. Moreover, Silver is the master's close confidante, and this kind of feeling is bound to be several times stronger than that of an ordinary person. Silver's hand on his knee trembled faintly, and even in Freya's eyes, a hint of murderous intent was brewing.
