Hobert asked Penny: "Ms. Penny, for the future of you and Mr. Barron, I have to make sure, do you have any plans to divorce? Please answer seriously."

Penny thought for a few seconds before saying: "I am very grateful to Mr. Barron and feel deeply guilty about him. All I can say is that I don't hate him."

She smiled bitterly and said: "Although that family is not what I want, and Mr. Barron has always lost his temper in the past year, but I can feel that Mr. Barron respects me. Who wants to end such a marriage?"

"I understand." Hobert said: "Madam, please forgive me, your concealment from the beginning is doomed to plant the bitter fruits of this marriage today. In addition, I think Mr. Barron should be informed of the matter. the truth.

"Also, please end this marriage that has brought misfortune to both of you. There is no point in continuing."

"I know." Penny looked at her child with some worry: "But, but..."

But she was born in an ordinary farm family and had no ability to protect this child at all, so she was afraid that after Barron knew the truth, the situation would be completely beyond her control.

Hobert comforted: "Believe me, madam, we are all adults. No one will do something to a child, not even Mr. Barron."

He said: "Although Mr. Barron needs to know the truth, the method must be particular. You cannot hold the child in front of Mr. Barron by yourself. It is the best way for me to tell Mr. Barron the truth."

Although it was Penny's first time meeting the young lawyer in front of her, theoretically they should lack trust. But after listening to what he said, Penny felt that his words were very convincing and indeed the best way now. If Penny really had to hold the child and tell Mr. Barron the truth, it would easily anger Mr. Barron. .

"You're right." Penny said, "But you must protect Benny's safety."

Hobert said seriously: "I assure you, this is a matter between the two of you as adults and will not affect the children."

He said: "I think the sooner this matter can be handled, the better. There is a carriage from the law firm at the entrance of the village. How about we take Benny and set off immediately?"

Penny hesitated for a moment, but soon her eyes became determined again: "Okay."

"Wait!" Penny's father suddenly said to Penny with a sad face: "My child, what if Mr. Barron is angry? What if he..."

"Father," Penny said with a smile, "This may be my fate. Since I can't change it, I might as well take the initiative to welcome it."

The old man shook his head: "No, no, I can't let little Penny at home get hurt. I, I want to go together." After saying that, he found an ax and stuck it on his waist.

Just as Penny was about to dissuade her, Hobert smiled and said, "Yes, but you have to hold the ax carefully and don't scratch the seat of the carriage."

Penny was a little worried and said: "Mr. Lawyer..."

Hobert smiled and said: "You should understand a father's worries, just like you worry about Benny."

In fact, he suddenly recalled his father in the AD era. If he had caused trouble that he couldn't solve, his father would probably behave similarly to this old man.

After getting back on the road, the carriage became a little crowded. After all, it was just a two-wheeled carriage, but now there were three adults and one child in it.

It seemed like it was the first time for Benny to ride in this kind of carriage. He sat on Penny's lap and asked curious questions.

When he learned that Hobert was a lawyer, Benny's eyes widened and he asked Hobert: "Are you the same as Upton who quarrels a lot?"

"It's different!" Penny said: "This uncle is a real lawyer!"

She smiled and explained to Hobert: "Upton is a young man in the village who always likes to debate with anyone he meets. But the strange thing is that he is very eloquent and never debates or quarrels. Lost in the game.

“Some people joked that it was a pity that he didn’t become a lawyer, and gradually ‘lawyer’ became his nickname.

"But he doesn't seem to like this nickname very much. Once I saw someone calling him 'lawyer', he turned pale with anger!"

The more Hobert listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "Has this young man named Upton been so eloquent since he was a child?"

Upton behaves very much like a "lawyer". After Hobert takes the "lawyer" potion, he will also argue with others without knowing it.

After Xio accidentally reminded him of this, he tried his best to avoid arguing with others, so as not to expose his extraordinary abilities and extraordinary ways.

I'm afraid it's not that Upton doesn't like the nickname "Lawyer", but that the nickname is exactly the name of the potion he took. It's not that he turned pale with anger, but that he was called out by a group of ordinary villagers after his secret. , he must have turned pale with fright.

"I don't know." Penny said, "Upton and his mother moved here five years ago. They seem to be very rich and bought a lot of land.

"Look, that house is their home!"

Hobert saw a two-story house with an idyllic scenery. In the countryside, this was definitely a mansion.

He guessed that Upton was probably a feral "lawyer", so he chatted with Penny about the Upton family and learned that Upton's father died ten years ago and that Upton's mother's body was He has never been very good and passed away last year.

Upton and a male servant now live in the big courtyard.

After learning this information, Hobert already had the idea of ​​finding time to find out.

He didn't intend to hurt Upton, he was just curious about where Upton's potion came from?

The carriage drove for more than half an hour and arrived at the gate of Mr. Barron's farm.

In the stable again, Hobert saw Mr. Barron bathing a big white horse.
