Chapter 504: The Old Man Who Gets Drunk
Ethan listened to Locke's words in a straight tone, his stiff face shook slightly, and his mood was originally full of gloom, but for some reason, it became better.
He no longer paid attention to Arlene, who was trembling with anger, so he walked to the butler's side and whispered a few words, and then simply came out of sight and out of mind, and went upstairs directly.
With the sound of the door of the study on the second floor closing, Arlene took a few steps back and sat down on the single sofa, and the image of the noble lady that she had been deliberately maintaining could no longer be maintained, and she cried loudly.
Locke and the others were courteously led by the housekeeper to a small hall near the kitchen, and served tea and snacks.
For this kind of treatment, Locke, who led someone to trespass into the Marquis's mansion for the first time, was simply a little flattered, but fortunately, he was already fierce, even if there was a slight crack in his expression, ordinary people did not dare to stare at it carefully.
It was the thick-eyed young waiters who watched the snacks brought to them relieved the butler's heart, and greeted them with a little enthusiasm.
Locke didn't hold back on these young men who were about the same age as his daughter, as long as he didn't lose Luna's face or talk nonsense, he let them go.
For a while, this small hall showed a bit of activity that was completely different from the whole sluggish Sterling mansion.
With Ethan's deliberate connivance, Locke and others watched, and no matter how reluctant Arlene and Camilla were, they were still forcibly stuffed into the beast cart they were riding in the next day and left the royal city.
However, this unhappy parting could not hide from the old Marquis Latour, and the day after Arlene and Camilla left, the old Marquis Latour returned to the royal city with his wife.
The couple went to the royal court to see their daughter for the first time, and after chatting for more than an hour behind closed doors, they hurried to Shoufu's house, and then went to the home of another young man who was injured by Berg because of Camilla.
Luna was only surprised when she first heard about her grandfather's straightforward confession process, which was different from most nobles, but soon showed a knowing smile, thought about it, and directly asked Susie to load the clothes she would use for the evening banquet on the beast cart and go straight to the Stirling family's mansion.
"Cousin has lost weight, why hasn't he eaten properly?" Luna sighed as she looked at Ethan, who was still sitting in the hall with a somewhat blank look in her eyes, and walked over to sit next to him.
Luna is not exaggerating, although in just two days, Ethan has indeed lost a lot of weight, and the original decent coat is now a little swaying when worn on the body.
"No appetite. Ethan snapped back to his senses and glared at Luna.
"That's a little bit of a deal. When there were no outsiders, Luna was rude and rolled her eyes.
For her like this, Ethan was already surprised, and only sighed and defended:
"That's my mother. ”
"I didn't say no, but my aunt ...... this time," Luna sighed as well.
Although she knew that her grandfather did not retire because her sons were relatively mediocre, she had always heard that her eldest aunt was a very capable female, and even her grandmother had praised her more than once, but she didn't think about it......
"My impression of my mother is not like this. Originally, when I received her letter saying that she wanted to bring Camilla to come and see me, I didn't think much about it, but ...... Luna, say sorry to my aunt on my behalf, okay?" Ethan's hand on his knee slowly tightened, his face full of unspeakable bitterness.
"Why did you ask me to say that?" Luna glared at Ethan, her cheeks bulging.
"I'm ......," Ethan opened his mouth.
"What are you? I know it's your mother, you're not good at being strong, I've been scolded by my mother for letting people come over, and I've been too late to hide from her lately, and you still let me go up?"
Luna snorted.
"I heard my aunt say that you have been hiding from your uncle, and now even your aunt is hiding, could it be that you have been obediently embroidering in the room recently?" Ethan looked at Luna in some surprise when he heard this.
"You think I'm an embroiderer?" Luna pointed claws of a white beast with spiky armor in front of Ethan, curling her fingers in mind.
Ethan sneered, slapped Luna's hand away, and muttered:
"You should always learn, or no one will want it in the future!"
"You'd better worry less about me!" Luna glared at Ethan, then continued, "Seriously, don't you plan to go back and see if your aunt suddenly made such a fuss?"
Ethan was stunned when she heard this, looked at Luna in a daze, and repeated, "Go back?"
"Yes, you are the eldest son of my uncle, although there is still Cousin Raymond in Latour City, but Cousin Raymond is only one year older than me, right?
Luna looked at Ethan and said seriously.
Ethan was lost in thought when he heard this, but before he could come up with a reason, there was a noise outside, and the old Marquis Latour and his wife had already walked in.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I miss you!" Luna saw the two walking in together, and jumped up from the couch and threw herself at them.
"That's what you say, if you think of us so much, why don't you go often?" Old Marquis Latour raised his hand to hold down Luna, who rushed over, and although his mouth was disgusted, his smile was unusually warm.
"I'm busy!" said Luna, tugging at her grandfather's sleeve.
"You're busy, you're the busiest!" the old Marquise Latour snorted as she poked Luna in the head.
"Hehe, grandma, do you like the flower seedlings you sent for the things I asked you to send before?" Luna has always been faceless and skinless in front of the two, and when she was poked, she was poked, and she still licked her face and leaned up.
The old Marquise Latour smiled without looking pale, and said, "I like it, I like it all we send by Luna." ”
"Is there any wine?" asked the old Marquis Latour, who didn't wait for Luna to continue his work, and suddenly pulled her over and lowered his voice.
"Uh......" Luna glared at her grandmother with a slight faint look, and immediately exchanged a glare, and couldn't help but hold back her mouth.
The old Marquis Latour is a good wine, and there are many old subordinates in the manor who have followed him all over the world, and there is no shortage of drinking friends.
And these people are estimated to be like things, and the wine is actually not very good, she has seen with her own eyes that a group of people dance and sing when they drink too much, and they also turn into beasts and scatter flowers in the yard, and the people of the whole manor cannot stop, so the old Marquise Latour has made every effort to ban alcohol for those people.
The old Marquis Latour was still "thief-hearted" under the suppression of his wife, and after seeing Luna "hook up" with two wineries, he ran to her from time to time to pretend to be pitiful and cheat to drink.
Although Luna would not nod her head eight times out of ten for the sake of the old man's health, and the amount she gave was pitiful, she was inevitably soft-hearted when she looked at her grandfather's gluttonous appearance.
Instead, Luna became one of the few remaining sources of wine for her grandfather.
Although she didn't think that her grandmother didn't know about secretly giving her grandfather a drink, Luna was still a little cautious in front of her grandmother.
