Chapter 117: Dinner Gossip
Lizzie's expression instantly squeezed out of stereotypical sternness, and he stared at her without saying a word, as if waiting for her to bow her head and apologize to him.
They have indeed been angry for a long time.
Serra walked over to the empty green leather couch next to her and sat down, resting her feet on the small leather stool in front of her, vacating her bandaged hind legs, and sighing comfortably, "So, the aquarium is a solo trip for your family, right?" ”
"Serra, you and we are family." After Mrs. Josie finished speaking, she felt that she had said the wrong thing, and immediately changed her words, "I mean we will soon be a family, and of course you will go with us." ”
This aggrieved tone skewed Lizi's protection minute by minute.
"Serra, don't be angry with Daddy and us." Annahi chimed in, "You're my sister. ”
Serra's nerves were throbbing, and she rubbed her temples, "I went to school very well today, guess what's going on?" ”
When no one answered her, she said to herself, "I found a dead mouse in my bed at noon today, and my dear classmates told me that it was Mrs. Josie who instructed the teacher and her classmates to clean me up." ”
Before Josie and Annahi changed their faces, Lizzie didn't think about it: "Absolutely impossible, she is really planning for you." ”
Serra, who had expected this outcome, didn't care.
She stood up, walked up to her father, bent down, and said in a soft voice, "Of course it can't be, it was just a joke to liven up the atmosphere, Dad, all the decisions you have made now are correct." ”
The future Great Depression, the protests of the workers, she will not tell him anything about what is coming, let him be pestered by his mistress little by little and die.
The languishing aristocracy, accustomed to the life of a big landlord, did not know that there was always a price to pay for moving forward.
Serra straightened up slightly, and said in a brisk voice, "Okay, my dearest family, it's almost seven o'clock, can we have dinner together?" I still have a lot of interesting things to tell you. ”
Her face changes too quickly, and her weird appearance always makes the family very unhappy.
"Actually, I have one more thing I want to tell you." Annahi pretended to be gossipy to her at the dinner table, "Today Dad received a call from the capital, and a marquis's daughter is coming soon. ”
"Oh, what does it have to do with us? Is it received with the friendship of the landlord? Serra scooped out the meat of the oysters with a spoon, and poured a delicious soup over the simply steamed tender meat, which was so delicious that she asked the servant for four in a row.
When the fourth was finished, she heard Annahi's voice full of pity, saying, "At the king's behest she has come here for a few days, and we will receive her, and it is said that His Majesty intends to marry her to Mr. Roshill." ”
Serra took a sip of champagne and slid it down her throat, and instead of the embarrassment Annahi had expected, her face was filled with elation, and she almost clapped her hands.
She said happily, "Seriously, if the marquis's daughter can successfully seduce him, I will be the first to come to the door to give a gift." ”
Annahi's expression froze, "I thought you and the Duke were inseparable from each other." ”
"Less do you think that this kind of wild speculation is really cheap."
Serra hid a knife in her smile, "What lady likes to talk about someone's private life behind her back?" When that marquis comes, you can't talk nonsense, be careful of your father's accident, we'll just receive the guests. ”
