Mary has been in Spain for a month and a half, and although they have not met, the phone calls between the two are still frequent.

It's just that in the past two days, Li Zitao can hear a bit of resentment in her tone.

Originally, he thought it was his own problem, but after asking Lu Qiang in private, Li Zitao knew that it was not his problem.

It's because of Elizabeth, the eldest sister-in-law was bullied, and even his wife was angry, which means that his wife was bullied.

"Rocky, remember to help me ask for leave!" At 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Zitao picked up his coat and went out, leaving Rocky, who was just about to sleep, with a face full of squeeze.

Big brother, it's only been two days off, are you sure you're here to go to school?

"Get One Gulfstream ready, I'm on my way to the airport. Li Zitao's car was equipped with a wireless phone, and he directly dialed the number of the secretary's office.

The secretary on duty received the news and first notified the crew, followed by Ava's phone call, which reached her ears.

By the time Li Zitao arrived at the airport, the crew was making final preparations, but Ava, who was wrapped in a windbreaker, had already arrived.

"Boss, where are we going?" asked Ava this question when she saw Li Zitao for the first time.

"Spain!" Fifteen minutes later, One Gulfstream took off and disappeared into the night.

......

"If we get out of here, we're going to drive you crazy!" This imposing, beautifully renovated manor house was a steel cage for Elizabeth.

It would only make her humiliated and tormented, and Mary never imagined that her life would be like this before she came.

In nearly 50 days, Mary had only seen the Duke of Hornberg once, when he was drunk.

The frivolity of the language, Mary didn't want to mention it anymore, but the old woman's constant imprisonment and humiliation of Elizabeth made her unacceptable.

As a duchess, Elizabeth couldn't even take out 500 pesetas.

No one invited her to the ball, and every day in the manor lived the same life, which was equivalent to a life of captivity.

And to accept the old woman's ridicule, at her mercy, does my father know this?

"Mary, I can't leave, and where can I go?" said Elizabeth, a little numb.

She has long been accustomed to this kind of life, and she no longer cares about her husband's neglect, the cold eyes and ridicule of his family, and the gossip in secret.

At least she could wear fine clothes, live in a luxurious manor, have carriages and attendants, and not have to worry about what to eat.

As royal heirs, they have different missions.

Someone is lucky, someone is unlucky, and she just happens to be the unfortunate one.

Mary looked at her sister distressedly, she had a rich life, a seemingly glamorous pomp, and an identity that people respected and envied.

But this kind of mental injury is more cruel than **, these days she can't bear it just as a spectator, and it's Elizabeth who bears this.

While the two were talking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and it was the butler of the Duke's Palace.

"Good afternoon, Princess Adellaid, His Excellency Marquis Charles Lee is here and is waiting for you in the drawing room. The butler bowed and saluted.

"Charlie?" looked at his sister, and the two met face to face, and said to themselves, 'Why is he here?'

When he saw Mary, Li Zitao's eyes immediately showed a little distress, and he stepped forward to hold her arm and blamed: "You look haggard and thin!"

Mary looked up and was stunned, she was obviously fine, how could she be haggard and thin?

But when she saw the abuse in her husband's eyes, and then thought of the Baroness sitting on the sofa, the Duke's mother, Mary suddenly said, "Yes, maybe she is too tired." ”

Marquis Li, the princess is well taken care of here, probably because of the hard work of just giving birth. The Baroness said with a serious face.

"Oh?" Li Zitao looked back at the old woman with a mean face and a big mouth and said in surprise, "Why is this not the case at home, is it because the maids don't take good care of it?"

Elizabeth didn't see that the two were singing duets, and explained, "The Duke's Court is full of servants, and they are very dutiful, and it must be because I..."

"Strange, what about the maid I sent?" Li Zitao asked directly at the baroness.

"How can those vulgar country women deserve to stay in the Duke's Palace!" the baroness glanced at him with disdain, as if to say, 'You too.' ’

"Well, I see. Li Zitao nodded, and continued, "It seems that the servants of the Duke's Mansion are all from noble backgrounds?"

The Baroness choked for a moment, but turned her gaze fiercely at Elizabeth, where did they think this was?

"Ava, write all of this, I think the people will be curious about life in the Duke's Palace, and the newspaper will be selling well this month. ”

Li Zitao casually instructed Ava beside her, and she really opened the book to record.

"How dare you... This is my home, not America. The baroness jumped up and pointed at Li Zitao and shouted.

"Yes, this is not my home, why don't I dare?" Li Zitao looked at her with a smile and said in a cold tone, "Don't forget, I am the Marquis of the British Empire." ”

gives you three points of face, and you really think you are a green onion.

Not to mention that his property is not in Spain, even in Spain, with his current position, the king will also give him some face.

A baroness, the mother of the duke, really thinks she is the queen mother!

It was really a domineering style to drive all the servants and bodyguards he sent outside, and he was not allowed to get close to the manor within five kilometers.

Mary and Elizabeth wanted to go out, and they had to see her face in a carriage, which he really saw.

"Haha, Charlie, meet again. Just as the scene was deadlocked, the Duke of Hornberg walked in laughing from outside the door.

"I came to see my wife, but I didn't expect to be thin and emaciated, and the food in the Duke's Palace didn't seem to be very appetizing. ”

For the sake of the Grand Duke's face, he was very enthusiastic when they met before, but this time his wife was bullied, and he was enthusiastic!

Duke Hornberg stopped, put down the arm that wanted to hug him, and said with a cold face, "Maybe the princess is used to American food and doesn't like Spanish food. ”

"Yes, I thought it was the Duke's Mansion that the poor couldn't afford the materials, but I heard that the daily meal was noodles and bread......

If you need to, tell me that I can have someone bring some beef and seafood, and these worthless things are all for the servants to eat at my house. ”

Hearing Li Zitao's sarcasm, Duke Hornberg's face twitched, and he pointed at him and said, "Rude guy, you are not welcome here, go out." ”

"The air here makes me sick, with the stingy sour smell or the smell of fish on you. ”

Li Zitao took his wife's hand and was about to go out, but Mary stopped, looked at Elizabeth and said, "Follow me." ”

"Elizabeth, go back to your room. The Baroness shouted.

For this cowardly woman, she thinks she knows a lot, what else can she do but cry in self-pity?

Looking at her husband's cold gaze, the baroness's mean sarcasm, and the begging and care in Mary's eyes, Elizabeth raised her arm and grabbed Mary's hand.
