The old butler froze for two seconds as if he had pressed the pause button, and then he turned his head and looked at Xu Shuo with an angry and scrutinizing gaze.

"It was you and your accomplices who attacked our young lady?" The old butler asked.

Prejudice, all prejudice, Xu Shuo could only smile helplessly, "Heh, what do you think?" ”

Lilian hurriedly said: "Butler Mog, don't be rude, it was Mr. Xu Shuo who saved me, although he is a thief by duty, he is a very good person." ”

"But Miss......"

"Mogg!"

Mogg didn't seem to trust Xu Shuo, but at the insistence of his eldest lady, he still reluctantly apologized to Xu Shuo.

"I'm sorry, sir, I was rude just now." Mogg bowed to Xu Shuo, and then immediately turned to Lilian and said, "Miss, you are frightened, please go back to the house to rest first, and I will inform the rest of the family." ”

"Wait, Mogg."

Lilion rolled down from the Thousand Miles Beast and came to Mogg, pointing at the Backpacker Man and Yuri and said, "These two are the warriors who saved me from danger, Miss Yuri and ......"

"Provoke, my name is Beiqi." The backpacker man said.

"And Mr. Beiqi." Lillian continued, "As a token of gratitude, I promised to give them a hundred gold coins as a reward, and please go to Lawne and ask her to take a hundred gold coins for these two warriors, and hurry up." ”

"One hundred gold?" Mog had a surprised expression on his face for a moment, he looked at Yuri suspiciously, then at Beiqi, and finally stopped his eyes on Xu Shuo, not knowing what he was thinking, but soon he lowered his head and said to Lilian: "I understand, follow your orders." ”

Mogg was about to turn and enter the manor when Liliam stopped him again.

"By the way, one more thing, Mogg."

Mogg stopped and looked at Lilian, "Miss, you say. ”

"My father ...... him," Lilian asked, closing her mouth halfway, and the second half she couldn't say anything.

Mogg bowed his head silently, "Miss, please mourn, Lord Adam is a merciful great man, and we will definitely avenge him." After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo: ???

(What's the matter, it's my business.) ）

Lilian covered her mouth, tears falling silently. She could not believe the masked man's words before, but the butler would not lie to her, her father, Adam Wink, was really dead.

"Condolences, miss." Mogg said it again, then sighed and turned back to the manor.

Xu Shuo had long known that Adam was dead, so he was not surprised, in fact, learning of the death of a stranger who had not said a word was not something worth his emotions about.

However, Xu Shuo still turned over and got off the "horse", and gently put his hand on Lilian's shoulder, ready to comfort him.

"Mr. Xu Shuo......" Before Xu Shuo could speak, Lilian first crashed into his arms with a crying voice, and hugged Xu Shuo and sobbed despite the fact that there were two people next to him.

Xu Shuo turned his head slightly and glanced at Yuri and Beiqi behind him with his spare eyes, and found that both of them were very considerate and looked away, so he put his hand on Lilian's head and gently stroked the golden hair of the sad girl.

When the head maid of Lorne and the old butler Mogg came out with a large group of servants, Liliane's mood had calmed down a lot, and Lorne still carried a heavy bag in his hand, which made a tinkling sound as he walked towards Lilian and the others.

"Miss, thank goodness you're safe." Lawne had a motherly smile on his face.

"Thank you, Ms. Lawn." Liliam sniffed, "I asked you to bring the gold coins, did you bring them?" ”

"It's all here." Raun said, holding up the leather bag in his hand.

"Give it to me."

Lilian took the leather bag from Lawn's hand and turned to hand it to Yuri.

"You deserve it, thank you for helping us get out of this situation." Lilian said.

Yuri took the bag, flipped it up and down, squinted his eyes and smiled, "A hundred gold coins, that's right." Aqi, let's go. ”

"Two warriors, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?" Lawne said.

As if he hadn't heard, Yuri flicked the reins and rode away like a thousand miles of beast smoke, Beiqi nodded to everyone, said goodbye, and then followed Yuri closely.

Xu Shuo shrugged his shoulders towards the departing backs of the two, and also said to Lilian: "Then, I should almost leave, you take care, Miss." ”

"Huh?" Lilian was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Xu Shuo turn around to leave, she hurriedly said, "Please, please wait a minute, Mr. Xu Shuo!" ”

Xu Shuo turned his head: "Huh? Anything else? ”

"Well, if I want to find Mr. Xu Shuo, where should I find you?" Liliam asked.

"Looking for me?" Xu Shuo thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, I don't have a fixed place to live now, if I get the honorarium, I should find a hotel to live in...... But then again, can I get paid for this mission? It's nerve-wracking......"

Lilian's eyes lit up, and she asked with some excitement, "If you don't have a place to live, do you want to come to my house?" ”

"Huh?"

Before Xu Shuo could say anything, Lilian blushed first and began to explain, "No, that... Because Mr. Xu Shuo is my savior... And I have a lot of vacant rooms in my house... And, that, this ......"

"Why do you people here like to invite people to live in your house so much?" Xu Shuo remembered Miao Zhen and said half-jokingly: "Is it really possible?" I'm not going to be polite, I'm honest, I don't have a penny on me now, I'm worried that I don't know what to do, if I live in your house, will you cover my three meals? ”

"No problem!" Liliam replied imposingly.

"Uh......" Xu Shuo was just joking, but he didn't expect Lilian to answer him so seriously, which made him a little embarrassed, "Then, I'll ...... Borrowing for a night? ”

"It's okay to stay forever!" Lilian said as she stared into Xu Shuo's eyes.

"Miss......" Butler Mogg seemed to want to say something, but Lilien glared back and closed her mouth again.

"Then let's go, Mr. Xu Shuo, I'll take you to choose a room." Lilian said and took Xu Shuo's hand, and under the surprised eyes of the servants, she walked to the carriage behind the gate of the manor—the carriage specially pulled by the servants in order to welcome the eldest lady back.

Xu Shuo could clearly feel the murderous gaze of the maids and housekeepers behind him throwing at him, but now he had to be cheeky and sit in the carriage and wait to stay in Wink Manor.

Lilian sat next to Xu Shuo, who glanced at her and found that the sadness on her face was gone.

At this time, Xu Shuo suddenly remembered that Lilian had said that Adam did not let her have contact with people outside, especially men, and it seemed that the servants in Wink Manor also knew this rule, so it was no wonder that those people were so surprised to see Lilian holding his hand.

Thinking of this, Xu Shuo glanced at Lilian again, as if noticing Xu Shuo's gaze, Lilian turned her head and smiled at Xu Shuo.

Xu Shuo was a little confused.

(This little girl, shouldn't her father be dead, but she's actually quite happy, right?) ）
