As soon as Na approached the table, she raised a bright smile and said hello to the Elon family, the weather is really nice today! ”

Elon smiled and replied, "Good morning", and Bewen also said, "Do you have any plans to travel today?" I was on vacation, and if I needed a guide, I said "Minna sweetly agreed."

A hint of confusion flashed in Lilith's eyes, and she pretended to be casual while cutting the cured meat on the plate, and asked, "I sent a new maid over yesterday, how are you serving?" If you're not satisfied, I'll punish her for you."

Minna took a deep breath and said with a smile: "She's fine, thank you aunt, just let her stay"

"Oh? Are you sure? Lilith raised an eyebrow, "Because she's a lot older, but she's clumsy in her work, I was going to ask her to learn from Melissa, but maybe you haven't seen a real maid, so you think it's lame, right?" ”

Minna's eyes lit up, the smile on her face disappeared, and Bevin whispered "Mother", but Lilith ate a small bite of meat nonchalantly, pretending to wipe the corners of her mouth with a napkin elegantly

Elon's face sank, and Yan. Su reprimanded his wife: "As an elder, how can you say such things to your niece?!" Minna came to our house alone, you are the hostess, you should send a few capable people to serve, how can you find someone at will?! ”

Minna suddenly. Smiled: "Uncle, my nanny just arrived today, and with her alone, I can get here with ten maids, but the lady Zhong Si that my aunt sent to me last night is also my relative, and I am actually very happy to meet her."

Elon's eyes shrunk: "Jones?!" He glanced at his wife quickly, and Lilith raised her chin arrogantly, "What's wrong?" They were originally servants of our family, and they only took wages all day and didn't work, what are they like?! I'm just asking a few idlers from his house to do some chores, and as the hostess, can't I arrange work for them? ”

Elon said angrily: "Nonsense! Mag is. The steward of the comptoir under my name! He earns me tens of thousands of gold coins every year! You actually asked someone from his family to do chores?! In order to retain talents, in addition to generous bonuses, a few days ago he promised to send the children of the Zhong Si family to school in Shaonan after the autumn, and promised to give them some shares at the end of the year, hoping that his wife's recklessness would not destroy his business

Lilith was shocked. Stunned, he looked at her husband holding his hands on his chest and said angrily: "You actually yelled at your wife in front of the children for an illegitimate daughter and a few slaves?!" Where is your aristocratic demeanor?! ”

"My land. Aristocratic demeanor is not used to indulge wives and scorns of their nieces! Elon threw down the napkin, turned his head and ordered the butler: "Ask someone to prepare a carriage to send the Zhong Si family back!" Make it clear to them that it won't happen again! After that, he said to Minna apologetically: "I am not at home all day and you have been wronged, please forgive your uncle, your aunt and she... It's just that I think I'm nobler than others, so I take arrogance as a habit, but I don't know how ridiculous my behavior is."

Lilith gasped a few times and looked at her husband in disbelief with wide eyes: "How dare you..."

"Why don't I dare?" Elon sneered, "Do you think your mother's family is more noble than my family, so you can ignore my dignity and insult my family?" Madame, please don't forget that you are now sitting in Shaw... Kada is in a house! ”

"Elon. Shaw... Cardo! Lilith stood up suddenly, "Don't forget, if it weren't for the help of our Chulov family, with your father of unknown origin, you wouldn't be where you are today!" How dare you be rude to me?! ”

"What did you say?!" Elon slapped the table vigorously: "My father is a war hero, and my mother is a famous family for generations!" I have the place I have today because I have fought the battlefield to earn it back! Your family is not what it used to be, if it weren't for my recommendation, would your nephews have been able to get official positions?! Where do you look like a competent wife in front of me every day?! ”

Lilith trembled with anger: "You ungrateful bastard! You will have retribution! ”

"It turns out that the mother-in-law who helped his wife is also called ungrateful" Elon sneered and leaned back in the chair, "Then I'd better not be nosy, I just have your nephew's resume in my hand, so let's go back"

Lilith turned around angrily and left, Bewen sighed, whispered, "I'm back to the Knight's Office" and left the table Beryl glared at Minna sharply, before saying to Elon seriously: "Father, you just talked too much!" That's our mother, your wife, mobile phone easy: Shouldn't you give her a respect? ”

Elon sneered: "Listen to what she said, where did you respect me?" I have been angry with her for more than 20 years, and I originally thought that the child was so old that there was no need to worry about her, but she didn't restrain at all, as long as it was a little unsatisfactory to her, she dared to openly embarrass me! How do you tell me to respect her?! ”

"But we're family!" Beryl raised her voice, "How can you accuse her for the sake of outsiders?!" ”

"Sister!" Manda interjected, "Minna is not an outsider, she is also a member of our family, if Mother hadn't humiliated Minna, Father wouldn't have been angry, you shouldn't blame Father"

"Shut up!" Beryl glanced at her sister, "This is the house of the Kado, and only the people who have the blood of the Kadoh family in their bodies are members of our family!" She provoked her father to quarrel with her mother, how can you help her speak?! ”

When Elon heard this, his face immediately darkened: "What is the house of Kado's family?" This is my house! The eldest daughter's words hit the knot in his heart, and when he remembered the gossip that was circulated privately by the Cado family because they were dissatisfied with his own property, he became angry, and immediately said nothing: "Your mother has no Kado blood, and she is not a member of this family!" Let her go back to the Chulov house and go wild! ”

Beryl looked cold, got up and left with her head held high proudly, and without saying a word, Manda drank two sips of soup, felt that she had lost her appetite, and casually found an excuse to leave

Elon gradually calmed down, feeling that what he had just said was too much, and he couldn't help but regret it a little

Minna had already filled her stomach, looking at this quarrel with cold eyes, she felt a little ironic in her heart when outsiders looked at this family, they would think that the male owner had a prominent family background, the hostess was noble, the son was excellent, the daughter was beautiful, and the family was rich, it was really perfect, but why did she feel that although her family was much more ordinary, it was happier?

However, Uncle Elon would defend her like this, but she was a little surprised to look at him with a look of chagrin, Minna relented, and said: "Uncle, in fact, I'm not very angry, you don't have to take this matter to heart"

"What do you say?" Elon frowned, "You are my own niece, it is rare to come to my house once, if you are bullied, I still have the face."

Father? ”

Minna shrunk her neck, rolled her eyes, and said, "But... I don't want you to quarrel with your family because of me... Simply... Shall I buy a house and move out? Then the aunt will not be dissatisfied" and she does not need to be angry with Lilith

"How can this be!" Elon flatly vetoed, "What a joke! I'm the head of the house, and I don't care who I want to live in! ”

"But... If you and your aunt fall out over this trivial matter, wouldn't it be okay? Even if you don't care about the relationship between husband and wife for so many years, you always have to think about Belvan and them? ”

"This..."Elon hesitated a little, although his wife's family was not as powerful as before, but it still had a lot of influence in front of the king, he was angry and said ugly things just now, but in the end, he still had to coax her back, with his understanding of his wife, he would definitely make conditions when the time came, if his wife's request was not good for his niece, then he would really not be able to handle it

Minna saw him waver. , busy striking while the iron is hot: "I move out, it does not mean that I will cut off contact with you, just like other families, there will also be descendants and side branches, they may not live together My father has a title and territory, and it is normal to own a property in the capital, and it will be more convenient for him to come to report on his work when he buys a house, and you can also come to our new home as a guest"

Elon was a little moved: "You have. Bring enough money? How big can I buy? ”

"I can't tell. Chu, but the general house is still affordable, and my mother's I will suffer in Ito, so I brought a lot of money."

"Really?" Elon was silent for a while, and sighed, "It's all because your uncle is useless, so you have to leave if you need uncle's help, just bring it up!" Want to help you find a house? ”

"No, no," Minna smiled and posed. Waving his hand, "I've already figured out what kind of house I want to buy, my uncle is so busy with work, how can I trouble you?" But—" she pleaded earnestly, "there is one thing I really want to ask you for, and you must say yes!" ”

Elon smiled, "What's the matter?" Say, I'll help."

"Great. Finish! Minna happily leaned over to him, "Actually, it's a trivial matter, the Zhong Si family is a relative of our family, and if we continue to stay here, Dad and I will be very uneasy, and Aunt seems to be very dissatisfied with them, so, can you please terminate their contract?" You can continue to hire Uncle Mag and them to manage the firm for you, but the others, you just let them go to my new house, right? I can't take care of a house by myself, plus Winnie? ”

Elon was stunned, a little reluctant in his heart: "This... I'm afraid it's not very good, right? "What if people leave?

"Actually, it's no different from now, except that it's transferred from your house to mine, but..."Minna scratched her head, "They seem to be servants of the Kado, isn't it a little difficult for you to break the contract?" ”

"Difficult? How could there be difficulties?! Elon immediately straightened his face, "Nothing! So do it! In two days I'll call Mag to deal with the contract! "Think about it, he gave Mag. Zhong Si's conditions are so generous, it is impossible for the other party to betray, and An Long's family is at odds with the former stewards of the trading house, so they will not stand on their side, and they will cancel the servant contracts of other idlers, and he can still save an expense!

Minna was overjoyed and thanked her again and again, and Elon generously said that it was nothing, but she didn't know that her niece had already been happy in her heart

Minna immediately took action, she first found Alex, and pulled him along to find the house Alex heard that she was going to buy a property, and raised her eyebrows, so she put down the house she was optimistic about for the time being, and waited for Minna to pick it up

Minna wanted a house that was not big, had no shoes, a garden, a stable, and was easy to travel but had a quiet environment, and there were not many empty houses like this in Ito City, and even fewer at the right price, so she searched for several days, but only found two unsatisfactory ones

When Anlong and Dora learned that she was going to buy a house, they wrote from Maiton, saying that they would pay for the house and decoration, and that it would be a gift for their only daughter's eighteenth birthday

After searching for a few days, I finally got the news from the real estate tenant that there was a property for sale in the riverside area of Xicheng, with twenty-six rooms, a stable cellar and a garden, and a small grove of woods, Minna immediately wrote to Alex and asked him to see the house tomorrow

After writing the letter, she walked downstairs, just in time to meet Beryl coming towards her, the other party just nodded coldly, and went straight to the garden, Minna pouted, a little strange why she had been at home these days, and she would not come back until dark

After handing the letter to the butler and asking him to send it out, she caught a glimpse of Manda running out of the living room crying, and went straight upstairs, where an unknown woman chased after her and called twice, and then went back to the living room, vaguely as if apologizing to Lilith, Minna looked suspiciously, and found a maid coming out of the room, and hurriedly walked away

She quietly asked Winnie and Marcy what was going on, and they looked at each other, and recently all their thoughts were on the new house, and they didn't pay attention to the gossip of the Kado family, and finally Mag, who came to handle the contract termination procedures, solved the mystery

He said: "I heard that the eldest prince is seriously injured, and His Majesty the king has not allowed anyone to visit, not even Miss Beryl has been allowed to do so, and what is even more strange is that the king actually asked the second prince to preside over the royal ceremony of the May Festival, which has always been the job of the eldest prince!" Now that the news of the imminent change of the crown prince's throne is prevalent in aristocratic circles, His Excellency the Earl is in a very embarrassing situation, so he has recently reduced his social interactions, and only Lady Lilith is there, and often invites friends to have afternoon tea."

Minna was a little confused: "What does this have to do with uncle?" ”

Mag sighed: "There were rumors before that the eldest prince was crippled and disfigured, and some councillors proposed to change the crown prince, at that time, Miss Beryl was very anxious, and tried her best to persuade several families who had friendships with the Carfamily to continue to support the eldest prince Now the second prince's voice is getting higher and higher, and those families are beginning to hesitate, His Excellency the Earl was originally not helping each other, but now he is marked as a supporter of the eldest prince, so what Miss Beryl, who is embarrassed by Mrs. Lilith, will affect Miss Manda's marriage, Therefore, she is not allowed to go out again, but recently there are rumors that the queen is very dissatisfied with Miss Manda, and now she is even more opposed to her becoming the wife of the second prince, and is planning to find another suitable marriage partner for the second prince."

Minna opened her mouth wide: "Didn't the second prince express any opinion?!" ”

Mag suddenly perked up: "Of course there is!" What the second prince did shocked everyone! ”
