Xu Shuo followed Lilian and Bron to the restaurant where the luncheon was held.

This restaurant is somewhere on the second floor of the main house, Xu Shuo was really a little surprised when he arrived at the door of the restaurant, his first impression of the main house of Wink Manor was that there were many rooms, and there were rooms on each floor of the entire main house from bottom to top, which felt like a dormitory, but if you want to find a conference room or restaurant here, you can actually find it. How big is this house, Xu Shuo really didn't count it in his heart when he thought about it.

The doors of the restaurant are open, cold dishes and desserts are lined up, hot dishes are freshly prepared, and chefs guard the iron pots and chopping boards, waiting for the guests to come and make their requests – the luncheon is buffet-style.

The guests gathered in twos and threes with wine glasses in their hands, chatting with great interest, not looking like a post-funeral luncheon, but like a dating party. However, when people noticed Lilian entering, the smile on their faces disappeared and was replaced by a look of regret and regret.

This is comparable to the large-scale face-changing scene of Peking Opera, which made Xu Shuo suspect for a moment that there was a problem with his eyes, but he thought that this was probably just the basic skill of the nobles.

The nobles who were close to the door approached Lilian, either comforting or approaching.

"Miss Lilien, are you here? I didn't expect such a thing to happen, please mourn ......"

"Ah, poor Lilian, remember me? I'm the Lady of Viscount Nord, and I'm sorry about your father......"

"Miss Lilian, as painful as it will be now, please stay strong, and if you need help, our Mande family will always be the most sincere partner of the Wink family."

Whatever the words, Lilian politely thanked them one by one.

"Thank you, thank you for your concern."

Xu Shuo saw Herschel, and the neat Alamo - this guy didn't wear armor, Xu Shuo almost didn't recognize him.

The two of them were standing in a corner of the dining room, frowning and discussing something, and when they heard the commotion and looked towards Lilian, Xu Shuo was sure that they had seen him too, because both guys had surprised expressions on their faces.

The fact that he became the steward of Wink Manor seemed to have shocked many people.

Herschel then walked with Alamo in this direction.

When Herschel came to Lilien, his face had changed to a loving one, and he hugged Lilien, and then said in the tone of an elder, "You are late, my dear niece. ”

"I'm sorry, uncle, I didn't pay attention to the time." Lilion apologized.

"It's okay, ah, isn't this our hero, Mr. Xu Shuo?" Herschel looked at Xu Shuo with a surprised expression, as if he had just discovered Xu Shuo here, "Why are you wearing the uniform of our manor steward?" ”

"Mr. Xu Shuo said that he wanted to be a housekeeper in our manor, so I asked him to be my accompanying housekeeper." Lilien answered for Xu Shuo first.

The corners of Herschel's mouth tugged down, and he muttered, "I see, have you already started recruiting your own servants......

"Uncle Herschel, what did you say?"

"Nothing." Herschel's face returned to a loving smile, "It's just that this is not good, Mr. Xu Shuo is the great benefactor of our Wen Ke family after all, how can he let Mr. Xu Shuo do such a subordinate work?" Mr. Xu Shuo, if you are short of money, you can tell us directly, why bother so hard. ”

Enigmatical.

"Really?" Xu Shuo smiled and said, "Then I want ten gold coins." ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent.

Not only was Herschel dumbfounded, but even Lilian looked at Xu Shuo in surprise.

Herschel never thought that the young man in front of him would dare to ask him for money cheekily, and he made a straightforward offer in front of everyone, without any tactfulness.

Doesn't this man have any dignity at all?! Herschel began to regret it, he originally just wanted to humiliate Xu Shuo, but he didn't expect that it was him who couldn't get off the stage now, ten gold coins is a huge amount of money for ordinary people, and it is enough for the Wen Ke family to hold a banquet, this is definitely not a small amount, but to give it to a guy he hates, this is too bad.

But in front of everyone, he couldn't go back no matter what.

Herschel tried to be as calm as possible.

"This, of course it's no problem, you saved my niece's life, compared to just ten gold coins, it's not worth mentioning, I'll let Lawn ...... in a while"

"Don't give it to me, I spent a lot of money on the way to explore the maze two days ago, and I also damaged a weapon, ten gold coins, just let me repay the money I owe to the Wink family." Xu Shuo said with a smile, "As for the housekeeper job, although I may not be doing it very well, please let me do it for the time being, Miss Lilian is my friend, I want to do my part for my friend, at least before Miss Lilian officially takes over the family business, help her deal with a little chores and share some pressure." “

The guests' ears suddenly pricked up, and Xu Shuo's astonishing speech aroused their interest, this time they did not come to Wenk Manor simply to attend the funeral. Most of these nobles have business dealings with the Wink family, so it is important for them to find out who the next head of the Wink family will be, after all, as long as they are courted by the new head of the Wink family, the business will be smoother and smoother in the future.

"You ......" Herschel could no longer maintain a calm posture, he said with a gloomy face: "These things are our family's business, so I don't bother Mr. Xu Shuo to worry about it." ”

"Please don't get me wrong, I have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the Wink family, but the attack on Lord Adam Wink is a bit strange, and I am worried that someone in the manor has bad intentions towards Lilian." Xu Shuo stared at Herschel's eyes for a while, and then looked at Alamo on the side, "So, I want to stay as a shield for Miss Lilian, just in case, that's all." ”

Most of the people present could hear that Xu Shuo's words were directed at Herschel, who was most likely to inherit the family besides Lilian.

"Boy, you think too much, the security forces of Wink Manor are very complete, we may not be able to do anything outside the city, but as long as we are in the city, our Kingdom Guards will never allow such a thing to happen." Alamo said with an angry face, "If you want to protect Miss Lilian, it won't be your turn." ”

The atmosphere of the scene became tense invisibly.

"Great, let's stop talking." Lilian didn't know why the situation had turned out like this, but she felt the anger in the air and hurriedly dissuaded: "Mr. Xu Shuo too, everyone in the manor is a good person, and that kind of thing won't happen......"

"I agree with what this gentleman said." A thick voice joined the fray, and the eyes were turned to the man who spoke—the chubby young man, Liz Brown, who looked into Xu Shuo's eyes as if to speak clearly, and said slowly but forcefully, "I heard that the death of Earl Adam was done by a group of thieves, and all the thieves in the world are cunning, mean, and abominable bastards. ”

Bronn finished speaking, and turned to look at Alamo.

"However, I believe that the guards of the manor and our esteemed Captain Alamo will be able to protect Miss Lilien, and you and I only need to act as the last line of defense. Of course, if the other party is a thief who even the captain of the Alamo guard is helpless, then we must have to protect Miss Lilian with death, right? ”

After Bronn finished speaking, he stretched out his hand towards Xu Shuo.

"I didn't expect you to be Mr. Xu Shuo, Jiu Yang, thank you for taking care of Miss Lilien during this time, I am Liz Brown, Miss Lilian's fiancé."

Xu Shuo wordlessly looked at this fat young man who looked honest and honest, the latter had a kind smile on his face, but the numbers above his head gradually became clear and bright red.

-61

"Ahh Xu Shuo shook Bron's hand, and a smile appeared on his face, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”
