Chapter 594: Country Love Story Fourteen
"I'm a little tempted to hear you say that. "If you're tempted, why not make it happen?"
"Well, I want to be sure that you're not interested in me, are you?"
"No, I'm very interested in you!"
"What?"
"Don't worry, I'm interested in your character and your abilities, not in your body. Well, I'm not keen on things between men and women. β
"Don't you have a lover, no female descendants?"
"Yes. β
"You're not going to be a virgin, are you?"
"What?"
"Nothing. β
Su Qingni was really tempted by Duke Toledo's proposal. She will not find a lover in the world she travels through, nor will she get married, but in this world, in the society of ordinary people, if a woman never marries, she will be criticized and despised by others, and even the woman's family will be affected. So, her original intention was to pretend to be interested in theology and enter the monastery. But after Melissa's incident, the plan was shelved. Three daughters, one missing, and one entering the abbey, will affect the reputation of the Webster family and Carroll.
Su Qingni planned to find someone to get married fakely. I haven't thought about which one to find, and now the Duke of Toledo has recommended himself, which seems to be a very good choice.
"Lord Duke, I will take care of you in the future. Su Qingni thought about Duke Toledo and showed a bright smile.
Duke Toledo smiled back, like an iceberg melting: "My pleasure, my dear fiancΓ©e!"
......
The hottest rumor in Blue and White County now is that the second daughter of the Webster family is getting married, and her marriage partner is actually a duke!
The young lady had been invited by a friend to go to London for a while a few days ago, and had the good fortune to meet a duke, with whom she fell in love at first sight. The Duke has a deep affection for the second lady of the Webster family, and even wants to marry Miss Susan as his wife, despite the difference in social status. This Miss Susan sparrow turned phoenix and is about to become a high duchess!
Everyone thinks it's more legendary than the story. Everyone was jealous of the good fortune of the Webster family. However, this did not prevent them from currying favor with the Webster family, and wanted to get to know the noble Duke through the Webster family.
To be honest, Mr. and Mrs. Webster and Carole still haven't come to their senses, as if they were still in a dream. Even if she wanted her daughter to marry into a good family, it would be better if she could marry a nobleman, and Mrs. Webster did not expect that her second daughter was about to marry a duke!
She originally hoped that the nobles her daughter would marry were just small nobles like Baron Morris, and she didn't dare to hope for those big nobles who were high up. Who knows, surprises can just so easily fall on their heads.
The Duke's mother-in-law!
At the thought of this title, Mrs. Webster's breathing began to become cramped, and she ran around the room excitedly, unable to stop at all. The second daughter, who was originally neglected, became her favorite daughter, and she praised this daughter with great enthusiasm and poured out her "maternal love" to this daughter without hesitation.
Su Qingni couldn't stand this "mother's love" anymore, and used a little trick to put Mrs. Webster on bed rest. It wasn't until Su Qingni successfully "married" that Mrs. Webster was able to get back alive.
Mr. Webster called Su Qingni to his study and carefully inquired about Su Qingni's acquaintance with the duke. Su Qingni had already made up the whole story, no matter what Mr. Webster asked, Su Qingni would not show flaws.
It was only at the end that Mr. Webster believed in the fact that his daughter was really going to be a noble duchess.
"I can't imagine it. Mr. Webster looked at his daughter, who had been neglected for a long time, "You have grown to a level of excellence that I could not have imagined." β
If it weren't for Susan's own excellence, how could she win the favor of His Royal Highness the Duke?
It's a pity that their daughter grows up so good, but it's none of their business. He, as a father, has always neglected this daughter and has not accompanied her to grow up.
Su Qingni smiled slightly: "Dad, I own a manor in Reimshire, you can take Mom and Carol there to relax in the future." β
Webster understood the meaning of Su Qingni's words, and told him not to worry, even if he died, Mrs. Webster and her eldest daughter would also have a place to stay, and there was no need to worry about being kicked out of Webster Manor by his nephew.
"That's great, I'll take them with me. Mr. Webster laughed, "The Duke is a very good man. β
He thought that the manor was given to Su Qingni by the Duke of Toledo.
Su Qingni smiled and didn't explain, she can't say that she is a wizard or a potions master, and the manor was exchanged for a magic prescription from a wizard, right?
"When is your wedding?" asked Mr. Webster.
"In March next year, when the spring flowers are blooming. Su Qingni replied.
"It's a good time. "But it's a bit of a rush, and I have to get your mother and you ready as soon as possible for the dowry and all the preparations for the wedding." β
"I'll make my own wedding dresses, and I'll have to trouble my dad and mom for the rest. Su Qingni said.
"Needless to say, it's what we're supposed to do as parents. Mr. Webster laughed, and he paused, and then spoke hesitantly, "Susan, does the Duke know about Melissa?"
"You know, I don't hide anything from him. β
"Then the Duke doesn't care about Melissa?" asked Mr. Webster worriedly.
"Don't worry, Dad, if he cares, he won't propose to me. β
"That's good, that's good. Mr. Webster muttered twice, and added, "Well, Susan, can you ask His Royal Highness the Duke to use his powers to help find Melissa?"
Mr. Webster's face was full of embarrassment, and he felt that Su Qingni was embarrassed to make such a request. If Su Qingni didn't agree to his request, he wouldn't blame Su Qingni.
But I didn't expect Su Qingni to easily agree: "Okay, Dad, I will ask the duke to help find Melissa." β
It's just that the answer is "I can't find it".
Melissa should stay in the vampire's stronghold. Su Qingni didn't want Melissa to know about her "marriage" to Duke Toredo, who knows if this girl will die stupidly by virtue of her identity as Duke Toledo.
Now Melissa has been punished and forced into hibernation. For two hundred years, this girl will not wake up and appear in front of everyone in the Webster family.
