Morfin·Gaunt was still cursing his sister. In his mouth, his sister was born a Pure-blood traitor, with no saving value at all. In fact, at most, she was just a tool to help the bloodline continue...
Who knows, she is so bold that she dares to use Love Potion to seduce Muggle. This disgusting operation makes her no longer able to gain a foothold here...
He seemed to have drunk too much and didn't care who the person across from him was. He just wanted to vent his anger to his heart's content.
I really heard something from his words.
Not only Mo Fei, Tom also understood a lot--
For example, Merope·Gaunt suffered from long-term domestic violence by her father and brother. She was depressed and cowardly, and could hardly perform magic normally under fear. In this extremely repressive environment, she finally couldn't stand it anymore, and then used Love Potion to seduce the handsome Muggle young man Tom Riddle, making him fall in love with her...
After that, the two of them eloped and left Little Hangleton.
When Gaunt discovered that their sister was gone, they had completely disappeared.
Things like this make them furious...
To do this simply, they would just expel Merope from the family.
But later, when Tom lifted the effect of Love Potion and came back, they found out the following -
That stupid woman actually thought that Old Tom really fell in love with her, and then decisively gave up using Love Potion. Such naivety made Morfin Gaunt and the two of them furious.
A woman who was defiled by Muggle was actually abandoned. Such a failure made them want to seal everything away.
Therefore, they wanted to completely clean up the Old Tom family to prevent their scandal from spreading further...
However, their action was unsuccessful. When they attacked Muggle, Auror of Ministry of Magic happened to come here to register. Unexpectedly, Old Marvolo went so crazy that he took the initiative to attack Auror.
Now things get serious.
Although Auror is not a big character, such an unprovoked attack is obviously a very humiliating thing for Ministry of Magic.
So, the two of them received the summons.
If Gaunt family still had the same power as before, this kind of thing would be reduced to a big deal and a trivial matter...
But who could let it happen? After so many years of squandering, their family's assets were exhausted and all kinds of personal connections were basically severed. So, in the end, they were imprisoned in Azkaban for punishment.
Old Marvolo died like this among Azkaban, and Morfin Gaunt also became a little more crazy because of the influence of Azkaban.
Logically speaking, these things should have been spread long ago.
Gaunt family should also become a laughing stock.
But after all, it was the last bloodline of Slytherin, so many officials who handled the matter quietly suppressed the matter to prevent it from spreading further...
Unless there is a special investigation, no one will know about this matter...
After hearing the whole story, Mo Fei felt a little sad.
Almost no one in this family is innocent, they are all crazy...
From this point of view, in the original work, Tom, who has not been guided, seems to have inherited the good genes of Gaunt family...
Morfin Gaunt seems to have regained some sense after venting his anger.
"... Now you understand, don't come to me about anything related to that bitch... Whether she owes money or kills someone, it has nothing to do with me...Gaunt family doesn't have that guy anymore..."
After he finished speaking, he didn't care about anything else and walked straight into the room...
At this time, Mo Fei suddenly said, "Back then, your sister must have been pregnant. Didn't you have any idea about the child in her belly?"
Tom heard this question and broke out of the silence, wanting to hear his opinion.
"... It's just a scoundrel, what use can it be... How can we expect that Half-blood trash to come back..." The man looked disgusted, "If I had known everything earlier, I would have taken away that scoundrel with one Killing Curse..."
As he finished speaking, he closed the door with a bang.
Tom's body shook several times and he almost lost his balance.
With an ugly face, he wanted to cover his face with his hands, but he couldn't. Tears had already flowed down without knowing when.
Sadness is greater than heartbreak. At this moment, he no longer seems to have any sense of belonging to Gaunt family.
Mo Fei felt a little distressed. He held the child in his arms and performed his own comfort.
Sometimes, such wounds always need to be touched...
Tom I don't know how I got back to the hotel in the end.
As if he had lost the ability to think, he followed Mo Fei back to the hotel in a daze, then washed up and rested...
The next day, Tom got up by himself before Mo Fei asked him to get up.
It seemed that he was already very energetic.
In fact, he had imagined such a situation when he was in school. However, when he came here, his idea was so wonderful that he couldn't accept this gap.
Now, he is mentally prepared.
"Tom, do you want to continue today?"
Tom knows what the dean means. Yesterday he met Gaunt family. The original plan today was to meet Old Riddle, the Muggle who abandoned his mother...
Although it is not good to say this, his mother seduced him through Love Potion, and he himself is innocent...
However, Tom still has some complaints in his heart...
It has nothing to do with anything else, just the most basic self-interest idea. For your own sake, why can't you stick to it, even if you just want to trick that stupid witch?
With yesterday's bad news, he didn't have too many thoughts about today's meeting...
"Let's go... Since we've come here, we have to solve it once and for all, right?"
After hearing Tom's answer, Mo Fei no longer struggled.
It is not difficult to find Old Riddle, but how to contact him and then chat with him is really troublesome.
But before they even came to the door, Old Riddle sent someone to invite him.
Although they didn't know why, Mo Fei and the others took the initiative to get on the carriage to the manor.
After entering the living room, they saw Old Riddle. It has to be said that even though Muggle is now middle-aged, they can still see how handsome he was when he was young. Now this handsomeness has become a unique temperament...
"I'm sorry for inviting you here... because someone reported your news to me... I'm just a little happy..."
"I heard that you are from London... It's true that you are from the Chamber of Commerce... Those servants can't see it, but I understand very well that you should be the people in the Chamber of Commerce responsible for preliminary research..."
"Because of the current situation, London must have started purchasing a large amount of grain from surrounding villages and towns. People from the Chamber of Commerce must be planning to make a lot of money, right..."
Looking at Old Riddle talking eloquently across from him, Mo Fei didn't know what to say.
Should I say that he misunderstood that he was here to find relatives... or that he thought too much...
But I have to say that this entry point is unexpectedly suitable...
Even this matter may not be unsuccessful. As long as you communicate the matter with Aiwen after returning, this kind of domestic grain trading can be completely realized...
Therefore, Mo Fei planned to use this name to start inquiring about the specific situation.
