Chapter Eighty-Six: Malice
"Dear Miss Winnie, welcome!" Paul seemed to have been waiting at the manor for a long time, and when he saw Miss Winnie's carriage, he hurriedly greeted her, and helped Miss Winnie out of the carriage. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info When he looked up and saw Leo and Miss Winnie in the same car, his handsome face instantly turned gloomy, and his hands clenched unconsciously.
"Ouch!" said Miss Winnie, who was clasped by Paul's hand. "Paul, what the hell are you doing, why are you so hard, pinching people to death!"
"Ahh
Seeing Paul's ill-intentioned glare, Leo naturally glared back without showing weakness, how could Leo be afraid of a noble son who was only under the shadow of his father and did not even have a title? This glaring made Paul's heart even more disgusted.
However, Paul naturally did not show his ill will towards Leo in front of Miss Winnie, and flattered Miss Winnie along the way, trying his best to say witty things that made Miss Winnie laugh and tremble.
When Feng Xifan got out of the carriage behind him and followed Leo, a master and a servant followed Miss Winnie into the four-story main building of the Milne family's estate.
Entering the hall of the main building, those noble men and women had been waiting impatiently in the hall for a long time, and when they saw Miss Winnie and Paul coming in, they all cheered in unison: "Miss Winnie, you are finally here, we are waiting for you so anxiously!"
"I'm sorry, guys, I have to entertain my guests first, Baron Leo is the first time to come to our Silverstone City, and I, as the host who invited him, I have to pick him up before I can come here, so I'm sorry to bother you to wait!" Miss Winnie crouched down slightly and gave a ladylike salute to everyone, and her mouth kept explaining.
How dare those aristocratic men and women really blame Miss Winnie, and the girls stepped forward to take Miss Winnie's hand and laughed. The men pursed their lips and laughed on the side, looking at the delicate and beautiful Miss Winnie's flowery figure, and there was no dissatisfaction at all.
"Ahem!ahem!" Paul coughed twice, drawing the eyes of the people in the living room to himself.
"Guys, I think you already know what I'm inviting you to this meeting for, right?
"Haha, of course we do, we're here to see the treasures hidden in the Milne family!"
"That's it, don't sell it, hurry up and take us to see your family's treasure!"
The aristocratic men and women were noisy, and Paul smiled and spread his hands, enjoying the feeling of being in the spotlight.
"Okay, then please go and come with me, but first you must be careful when admiring the place, the contents of the treasure room are priceless, and if anyone breaks something, it will be trouble!" Paul repeatedly admonished.
"Wow, don't worry! If you break a certain art treasure, you will sell us, and we will not be able to pay for it!" a young aristocratic man beside Paul cleverly joked, causing everyone to laugh again.
As Paul passed by Leo's side, he whispered to Leo, "Dear Baron Leo, you must keep your eyes open and take a good look at it in the coming time, this opportunity to see the art treasures with your own eyes is a golden opportunity for the country lord!"
After Paul finished speaking, he smiled proudly, and led everyone towards the treasure room, where several aristocratic youths who heard the conversation sneered, and walked past Leo with their heads held up and arrogant, and their posture was full of contempt for Leo like Paul, as if they could elevate their own status by learning Paul's ways.
Li Ao and Feng Xifan stood there quietly, looking at the arrogant and rude appearance of these peacock-like aristocratic children, their hearts were also full of anger, but both of them were deep-minded people, so naturally they would not exert their power in public.
The Milne family's treasure room is a spacious room on the third floor of the main building, covering an area of about hundreds of square meters, about half of which is stacked with wooden shelves, on which countless rare treasures are placed. Among them, there are many art treasures from the north, and there are countless works of celebrities and artists from the north in the past dynasties. The rest of the place is a separate display case, and the value of the objects placed is naturally extraordinary
The first reaction of some aristocratic children from small families when they entered the exhibition room was a wow!, and then they looked around in wonder at the treasures they had never seen or even imagined.
After Leo and his servant entered the exhibition room, they were not moved by the huge number of exhibits, and still paced calmly and slowly behind everyone. This scene fell in the eyes of those who cared, and their reactions were also different.
Miss Winnie saw that Leo was so calm and measured, and she was secretly glad that she had not seen the wrong person. And Paul maliciously speculated in his heart that the hillbilly did not know the value of these artistic treasures, and that he had come in to visit it purely to play the harp to the cow.
"Everyone, we have plenty of time to enjoy later, and now allow me to introduce you to a few of our rare treasures! These are the pride of our Milne family!" Paul raised his voice as he gathered everyone together to the individual display cases.
"This is the pride of our Varu Empire, the second son of His Majesty the Seventh Emperor of the Empire, the younger brother of the Eighth Emperor, Prince Gavin, King of the Northlands! Paul pointed to a crown and said aloud, his words overflowing with smugness.
It's a pity that how can a person like Paul, who is uneducated and unskilled, appreciate the true value of this crown? Miss Winnie gave him a quiet glance, and the evaluation in her heart secretly lowered a level to him. Miss Winnie was afraid that Leo would not know, so she quietly moved to Leo's side and explained to him: "The real value of this crown is that the magic crystal on it forms a sober magic circle, which can keep the wearer clear at all times, which is why Prince Gavin chose it as the crown. ”
Paul proudly displayed the crown, but inadvertently saw Miss Winnie whispering to Leo affectionately, and the jealousy in his eyes suddenly burned up.
Paul was inspired to point to a fine piece of porcelain beside him and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please look at this porcelain again, this is one of the most important treasures of our Milne family, a collection from the Hundred Years' War. ”
When everyone's attention was drawn to this piece of porcelain, Paul said in a loud voice: "It is difficult for those of us who have lived in the north for a long time to truly understand the preciousness of this treasure, so we will ask Baron Leo, who has been knighted by His Majesty the Emperor himself, to explain to us the preciousness of this treasure!"
