Chapter 776: Magic (2)
"Ono, don't mention her again, I really don't want to hear it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Huangfu Yaoyang reached out and hugged her waist and buried his face in her chest, "Now...... I just want to be quiet for a while. ā
Without saying anything more, Leng Xiaoye just raised his hand to hold his head and gently combed his hair with his hand.
Under her comfort, Huangfu Yaoyang also relaxed little by little.
Leng Xiaoye settled him on the pillow and helped him gently rub his frowning brows until he fell asleep in the crook of her arm, then carefully pulled out his arm and covered him with a thin quilt.
He walked out of the door lightly, and saw the old butler already standing outside the door.
"How's that going, Mr. Duke?" The old butler asked softly.
"Asleep." Leng Xiaoye raised his chin to the study opposite, "Let's go in and talk!" ā
The two of them walked into the study one after the other, and the old butler spoke softly.
"Miss, don't get me wrong, the Grand Duchess definitely didn't mean that...... Actually, that dagger ...... Be...... It was the duke's father who left it, and I think she only remembered the man again before she took out her knife and looked at it. ā
Huangfu Yaoyang's father?
Leng Xiaoye frowned slightly, "You know, his father's affairs?" ā
The old butler shook his head slightly, "I don't know much, at that time, Miss, like you, didn't like to stay in the palace, and always ran around...... Later, when she came back, she excitedly told me that she was in love and that I hadn't met the man. ā
"Do you know where he is now?"
He ...... He's dead. ā
"Dead?" Leng Xiaoye was taken aback, "No wonder...... Huangfu Yaoyang said that he had never met his father. ā
"They were not officially married, and the Grand Duchess was under great pressure at the time, and in order to give Mr. Duke a reasonable identity, she agreed to the marriage proposal of a noble man who had been pursuing her......" The old butler sighed, "As a result, before the official wedding was held, the man had a car accident, and the Grand Duke was obviously pregnant at that time, so she had to give birth to the child herself." As you can imagine, she was under a lot of pressure. Because of Mr. Duke's status as the first heir to the throne, he has been facing various dangers since birth. Until he was four years old, on the little duke's birthday, a bullet almost killed him, and in order to protect him, the grand duke had to choose to leave him and take all the ...... that belonged to him"
The old butler took out his handkerchief and wiped his eyes.
"Over the years, she has been deliberately showing hostility to the little duke, all for the little duke, she was originally like you, she likes to travel, likes to play, she has no interest in Shitu...... She stepped into politics, fought with men like a fighter, and got to where she is today, step by step, all to protect the little duke. I had promised her not to say this, but today I ...... I can't take it anymore, she ...... She's so pathetic. ā
"I don't understand." Leng Xiaoye frowned, "Obviously I've done so many things, why did she ...... Do you still want to persevere? ā
"Because she's scared." The old housekeeper sighed longly, "She is as strong as the little duke, and she is afraid that the little duke will not forgive her, so she doesn't dare to express it...... She must be in pain right now, too. ā
The character of the female archduke is almost the same as that of Huangfu Yaoyang.
Both of them are too proud and strong, and they are afraid of failure, so sometimes they would rather embarrass themselves and fight with themselves than try to explain.
