Chapter Eighty-Eight: Holding Grudges
After all, Miss Winnie in the crowd was from the elite of a large family, and she was keenly aware of the awkwardness of the atmosphere at this time, and in order to avoid a mortal enmity between Leo and the Milne family, Miss Winnie laughed coquettishly and broke the embarrassing situation at this time.

"Well, Leo, you are not a famous connoisseur, and people may not take what you say seriously. Besides, the things that the Milne family has enjoyed for generations are as long as they feel that they are precious. Although Miss Winnie's words were to suppress Leo, they actually confirmed that the porcelain was a fake.
"Ah~, today's party is so boring, these bottles and cans are not delicious and fun, and you people like it. Well, I'm a little tired, so I'll take my leave!" Miss Winnie wrapped her hand around her sleeve, yawned lightly over her lips, and said goodbye to Paul.
Miss Winnie's farewell freed Paul from an awkward situation, and even if he was reluctant, he did not dare to keep Miss Winnie any longer, so he had to say goodbye to Miss Winnie politely. When Miss Winnie walked to the door of the exhibition room, she turned around and smiled: "Baron Leo, we came together, why don't we go back together?"
Leo bowed his head reservedly and walked out with Miss Winnie.
Seeing this pair of beautiful men and women leaving side by side, the aristocratic young people present had no intention of lingering, and said goodbye to Paul one after another, eager to go back and tell their relatives and friends what they had seen and heard today.
A party broke up in such a sloppy manner, and a stunned Paul found that he was like a clown throughout the meeting, harming others instead of himself. Annoyed, he clenched his fists, and clenched his teeth clenched out the name of the culprit from the depths of his throat: "Lee!
Entering the carriage, Miss Winnie let out her laughter wantonly, releasing all the laughter she had just accumulated at Milne's house, and making Leo, who had cheated Paul, also show her face.
"Baron Leo, what kind of person are you, every time I see you, I think you are a little different!" Miss Winnie finally stopped laughing, and looked at Leo's handsome face with a smile on her face, as if she was attracted by his starry eyes.
Leo, who was dumbfounded, also looked at Miss Winnie, who had visited her several times in Milne Manor today, which had greatly changed his perception of Miss Winnie.
Two unmarried men and women looked at each other in the closed carriage, their gazes softening more and more, and their bodies unconsciously getting closer and closer. Miss Winnie's face was slightly raised, the ruddy after laughing added a little more to her appearance, the long eyelashes on the slowly closing apricot eyes still trembled slightly, and the white jade neck was so smooth that Leo couldn't help but swallow his saliva, only to feel that his mouth was dry.
The atmosphere in the carriage gradually became ambiguous, and just as Leo was struggling with whether it was time to kiss or not, the carriage jolted in the uneven part of the road, and suddenly turned the men and women in the carriage upside down from their seats, and the ambiguous atmosphere was completely broken by this untimely bump. Miss Winnie shrank into the corner of the carriage like a frightened quail, and her intense shyness made her secretly annoyed at her initiative just now, and at the same time she was disgusted in her heart that this Baron Leo was so wooden.
Leo also sat back, relieved in his heart, but also annoyed that he didn't grasp this opportunity to kiss Fangze.
The carriage drove back to the Brontë family's manor house in their own chagrin, and stopped in front of the mansion where Leo was staying, where Leo jumped out of the carriage and would turn to Miss Winnie and say, "Dear Miss Winnie, it is a pleasure to be able to walk with you today, and may you have a good dream, and see you soon!"
With that, Leo reluctantly closed the door, and the carriage moved forward again. Leo still stood in place and stared blankly at the carriage in the distance, and Feng Xifan stood quietly behind him, secretly sighing that Leo looked like he had grown up.
When she returned home, Miss Winnie resisted her shame and found her father, Viscount Brontë, and recounted in detail the scene at Milne's house today.
"Oh, I didn't expect this Baron Leo to have such attainments in the art of ancient times, and he is worthy of being the second son of the Covinus family!
I had long heard Baron Duke mention that Miss Winnie had a crush on Leo, and Viscount Brontë couldn't help but ask: "Winnie, what do you think of this Baron Leo?"
"What...... What is it?" It was Miss Winnie, who was shy and sensitive, who keenly sensed a hint of wonder in her father's questioning.
"Of course, what do you think of him as a person, do you have some kind of affection for him?" said Viscount Brontë more bluntly.
"Father~" Miss Winnie snorted, but nodded with shame.
"I think this Baron Leo is much better than those noble children in Silverstone City, he is neither humble nor arrogant, he handles things decently, and he does not flinch when he encounters problems, he is a good person!"
"Oh, I can't imagine that my Winnie would compliment a young man like this, she really looks like she has grown up!" said Viscount Brontë with a smile.
"But that Baron Leo can be regarded as a good match, and at a young age, he and the crown prince were able to sneak into the south and capture the Grand Duke of Wagner, which can be called courage and wisdom. Now that he is a knight and a fief, he can be regarded as a successful family business, and he has a good relationship with the crown prince, and he can already be called the leader of the younger generation of the empire, and it is not a humiliation of our daughter!" said Viscount Brontë as he joked with Miss Winnie.
"Father~, you make fun of me again, and if you look like this, I won't pull your beard off!" Miss Winnie stomped her foot, but she was still secretly happy in her heart.
"After the harvest festival is over, find a time to invite him to your house, I want to meet him in person!" Viscount Brontë saw that Miss Winnie was embarrassed, and hurriedly changed the subject.
When Miss Winnie saw this, she quickly answered, and left Viscount Brontë, who shook her head, and ran back to her room, for if she stayed any longer, Miss Winnie did not know what jokes her father would make fun of her.
And Paul in Milne Manor, with a black face, also found his father, Viscount Rubin, the current consul of Silverstone, although he was afraid of his father's scolding, but it was a matter of family reputation, and Paul did not dare to tell his father about today's events without a trace of concealment.
"Hmph, you have done a good deed, and you should be so embarrassed in front of so many people, it is so stupid!" said Viscount Rubin angrily reprimanding Paul, but at the same time feeling a little resentful of Leo.
Although he did not dare to provoke his father, who had always regarded himself as fair and strict, but from the look of his father, it seemed that he was already dissatisfied with Leo, and Paul achieved his goal, and then retaliated against Leo in the name of clearing the family's shame.
