stal snowflakes in winter, the whole town turns into a grey and frozen land.    I don’t like winter, everything in winter looks so ugly, the cold air makes my han

cheese. But when you get closer, you will discover how luxurious and exquisite the architecture is.  The mansion is surrounded by a square with a three-story building with hundreds of rooms, countless corridors and stairs. The architectural style is very classical, reminding the medieval castle style, but all the windows are inlaid with glass, and the trees surrounding the garden of the mansion are neatly manicured. There is also a new statue of Venus in the center of the garden, which is very eye-catching.    The owner of the manor is Mr. Dean Constantine. He and his two wives have raised 5 children all together.    The first wife was Margaret, and her surname was William before she was married. She was the daughter of a baron. The baron was very generous and gave her a dowry of £5,000 for marriage. Margaret gave birth to three children, the eldest son William Constantine, the second son Adam Constantine, and the youngest daughter Anna Constantine. Margaret died while giving birth to her little daughter.  Less than half a year after her death, Mr. Dean Constantine couldn't wait to marry another woman into the Manor. Her name is Jenny. She is a delicate and frail beauty with blond hair and blue eyes. She was very beautiful. Her father was a entry level military officer and did not leave her any dowry. Instead marry a clerk or a farmer, she became Mr. Dean's mistress. The two had already given birth to an illegitimate aughter named Elizabeth outside the manor. And when Margaret had a dystocia, Jenny was also pregnant. In order to prevent the birth of another illegitimate child, they got married in a hurry and gave birth to a son in their happy marriage. I don’t like stay in Quintet Manor, because I was killed by my 'good' father, stepmother, sister and brother in my previous life, let alone living with them, sometimes I am scared to look at them. trembling with fear.    I walked into the mansion through the back door of the manor, and a doorman opened the door for me.    Butler Simon was already waiting there. He bowed to me and said, "Welcome home, Master Adam, I hope the cold air outside doesn’t make your toes freeze."   I know that Simon is angry. He is a good man. He cares about me and my brother very much. He has always opposed my father's marriage with a mistress who has no money and power.    "I don't want to see my father arguing with my brother endlessly every day, you have to be understand it." I smiled and replied to him. "My little master, escape is not what a gentleman’s response." Simon shook his head dissatisfiedly. He sent me to the small living room with a fireplace on, and ordered a maid to bring me warm black tea: "Please stay here. Let’s keep warm here for a while. Don’t go for a walk tomorrow. The weather is too cold and it will freeze you."   Quintet Manor, under the careful management of the butler, has a net worth of 800 pounds a year. This is a lot of money, enough to make all the country squires envy my father for having such a resourceful butler. You know that some noble masters who have run the manor for generations can't make that amount of money, and people respect Mr. Constantine, because he is as rich as a noble Sir. Simon has served in Quintet Manor for nearly forty years. From a young boy to gray-haired, it is said that since his grandfather’s generation, his family has been the butler of the Manor. Now his son is studying at school, waiting for graduation. Who will also become the butler of a manor. Time flies, but only leaves a trace on his face, but his life routine has been the same for decades, managing everything in the manor every day, like a spinning wheel.    After a while, a maid wearing a black tutu and a white long apron came to inform me: "Master A
