Chapter 264

Eliza asked, "Did you catch those petty thieves?"

Malaki replied. "We caught the ones during the first raid, but just a few days later, another group showed up. They were more cautious and cunning. It was them who poisoned the medicinal fields."

Eliza asked, "Did anyone get affected?"

Malaki shook his head. "The poison seems to target only the medicinal fields. It doesn't have much effect on people."

Eliza sneered. "If it had harmed people, things wouldn't be this simple."

After understanding the situation, she gave instructions, "Thank you for coming all the way here, Malaki. Since it's still early. I'll go take a look at Solacecrest Manor." Just then, Mary was also present. Upon hearing this, she said, "I'll go with you."

"I'm coming too! I'm coming too!" Renee quickly raised her hand.

Outside Saint Grace Nunnery, a simple carriage was waiting. It had been arranged by Eliza at Malaki's request.

The road from Solacecrest Manor to Saint Grace Nunnery wasn't short, and she couldn't have the elderly steward walking back and forth, so she had him prepare something convenient, nothing extravagant or flashy.

Just like the carriage before them. It was plain to the extreme.

Inside the carriage sat three people. The driver sat outside, and with Malaki included, there were four people total, just within the carriage's capacity.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Solacecrest Manor.

Getting off the carriage, Eliza looked at the grand manor with its green tiles and red eaves, and waves of emotion stirred in her heart.

In the previous timeline, she hadn't been here in a long, long time.

Back then, the manor had tens of thousands of acres of fertile fields, tall mountains, and long rivers. Though it lacked breathtaking scenery, it was abundant in harvest.

Unfortunately, after falling into Sophie's hands, she had driven away all the nearby tenants out of spite toward Eliza. They left the land to waste for years, chopped down the trees, and stripped the green hills bare. Eventually, the entire Solacecrest Manor became a desolate ruin overrun with weeds.

Fortunately, Eliza returned early in this timeline and took back the manor from Sophie's hands.
