200. To tell you the truth, I am a witness
This time, Nie Yuan didn't scold her, but made a pot for Lilian with the tea set he had just put away with a strange expression.
He could also see that the tiredness between Lilian's eyebrows was enough to see that she was indeed tired of the slacker Earl during this time, so that she had only now made time to come to everyone.
"Thank you, Nie Yuan~"
Count Lillian took a sip of her teacup and let out a long breath of relief.
"How's it going? I was busy dealing with an abstract source event for the first two days, not paying attention to the affairs of you superiors, and lacking channels. ”
Nie Yuan gave Lilian another look and asked.
Lilian put down the teacup and said, "In order to gain a foothold in the royal city, I am busy every day, and I have to participate in several social gatherings every day, and now it seems that the situation is developing on a good side.
At the very least, I have a new place to stay, and a certain group of people have accepted me, and this is the address of my new home, and you can visit me at any time.
Of course, I may not be at home a lot during this time, and if I am not there, if you have any questions, you can also contact Advan and he will help you. ”
As he spoke, he handed over a gilded business card, which prominently recorded Lilian's contact information and the address of her new home, which was a manor in Nancheng District. It's not too far from Buck's bookstore.
After giving the business card, Lillian couldn't help but complain, "If it weren't for too many scruples, I really want to move to Buck's bookstore to live with you, really, this should be my most relaxed moment recently, I can talk and lie down in front of people regardless of my image, anyway, you have seen my 'true face', right?" ”
Nie Yuan put away the business card and said, "Forget it, my future queen, you should continue to have some scruples, how can this shabby little temple of Buck Bookstore accommodate you as a big man." ”
Lilian was not surprised, and complained: "Although you are still as annoying as ever when you speak, but it is true, I feel cordial now, I act with them every day, do you know that feeling, everyone knows that everyone has a ghost in their hearts, everyone has to pretend not to know that everyone has a ghost in their hearts, everyone is very happy, but everyone can't wait to drag each other off the horse immediately." ”
"It seems that you are indeed not fit to be a queen."
Buck said.
Lillian sighed, "yes, I know it's not suitable, but I have a reason why I have to do it, and there's no backing down." ”
Buck looked a lot more real, and even in front of the members of Buck's bookstore, there was a little Lillian who began to let go of herself, and said, "You shouldn't have come this time just to rest and complain, right?" ”
"Ou~~ Buck."
Lilian shook her head and said, "You really shouldn't have reminded me that I came here for work this time, so you don't want me to rest for two more minutes." ”
"Now is not the time for you to rest."
Buck said, "Say, is there anything we need help with?" ”
Lilian shrugged her shoulders and didn't grind, she took out a folded white paper from her bag, handed it to Nie Yuan, and said, "I need your help translating the words on it." ”
After Nie Yuan took it, he continued: "You should be very puzzled, why I haven't had time to come to you for so long since I came to the royal city, and I haven't received the news of my promotion, which I have basically finalized a long time ago.
The reason is that I want to go one step further and directly inherit the position of Duke of my deceased father, and according to Bane's statutes, I have this opportunity.
But the resistance is so great that even if I now choose to side with the most powerful Prince Lawrence or the Duke of Gladys, they will not be able to trust and help me with all my might.
So I need some external forces, and those external forces are the Occult Church and ...... You guys. ”
Nie Yuan looked at the dense transliteration words on the paper in his hand, and said, "We? We don't even know how many forces there are in the royal city, how can we help you, if you just said to translate the text for you, then I didn't say it. ”
Lillian replied, "In addition to helping me translate, it's time for you to take action, in the name of my faction, to contact other forces and help me achieve some goals."
When the time comes, I may introduce Nie Yuan to the people of the Mystic Sect, and I think they will definitely be very interested in you. ”
"It's good that you have a concrete plan."
Nie Yuan raised his head, took his gaze off the paper, and said, "But we have a request, all your actions must be synchronized with us, and there is no hiding for personal gain." ”
"Still can't trust me?"
Lillian was speechless, "I'm like a naked dancer in front of you, and if I count you, it will only be worse for me, won't it?" ”
Gu Jia
Nie Yuan shook his head and said: "This has nothing to do with trust, if we don't trust you, it's impossible for us to trust anyone else, if you have to support someone to take the position, you are definitely the best choice."
It's just that we want to know more from it, to have a deeper understanding of the royal city, and ...... Decisions that are in your own hands are the most reassuring. ”
Lilian looked at him angrily and said, "Why, do you really think of me as your puppet?" All the decisions I make have to go through your hands? Still don't believe in my mother's IQ? Isn't that too much? ”
Nie Yuan was unmoved, and said: "Let's figure it out, we are living a good life, and there is no need to fall into the whirlpool of power at all, it was you who found us."
And for us, operating a puppet may be too draining and not exhaustive.
It's just that you want to make certain decisions that are more in your own interest, and you can see them as 'discussions', not 'orders'. ”
"That's what I can accept."
Lilian spoke, "I'll give you a review of the current situation in the royal city later, and I'll discuss it with you when I make some major decisions in the future."
It's not all a compromise, it's that I believe in your intelligence, and on your own, there may be some omissions.
You see, when you were asked to be my staff, you refused, but now you volunteer, Nie Yuan, do you think this is an extra move? ”
Nie Yuan glanced at her and said, "This is different, I was working for you at the beginning, and now I am working for myself, from an employee to a shareholder, can it be the same?" ”
Aggressive~
Buck knocked his pipe in his signature style, looked out of the living room, and said, "Business is getting better, let's get to the point." ”
Lillian was also aware of the movement outside the house, still vaguely wanting to look through the crack in the door.
She looked at Miranda with a smile and said, "My dear Miranda, and everyone, the people of Wangcheng are very bad, don't be abducted by those uneasy and kind little white faces, after I take the throne, you are all my scheduled concubines." ”
After joking with Miranda half-seriously and half-jokingly, Lilian reined in her thoughts, became serious, and said:
"At present, I still have a lot of places to socialize and operate, so I don't need you to come forward to solve the problem for the time being, in Nie Yuan's words, I am still an employee, I can't fully integrate into becoming a shareholder, there is no need to work hard for others, just get by.
But it should be fast, things are going pretty well, so before that, you can warm up.
I need you to go to a wedding for me, to show up as my faction, to mingle with certain people, to make a subtle statement of my attitude, and to help me find out about the groom's relationship with his father, and how his father is doing. ”
However, what I didn't expect was that after listening to Lilian's words, the faces of everyone turned strange and extremely subtle.
Lilian was also stunned, and she was surprised, "What kind of expression do you have?" Is there a problem? ”
Nie Yuan didn't answer, but asked, "Did the wedding you said take place five days later?" ”
"yes......"
Lillian was puzzled and said, "How do you know?!" ”
Miranda continued to ask, "In that wedding you are talking about, is the groom called Jack and the bride called Ruth?" ”
Lillian was completely blindsided and said, "Yes, do you all know about it?" Where did you get the news? ”
"Then the problem is complicated, if you want to express your attitude through us, it seems that you can't do it."
Nie Yuan swore an oath.
"Why do you say that?"
Lillian was a little frantic and said, "Tell me!" Don't sell off! ”
Nie Yuan took out an invitation card from under the drawer of the table, handed it to Lilian, and said:
"Truth be told, I'm a witness to this wedding."
"What?!"
