Chapter Ninety-Seven: Caught in a Cycle of Self-Deny
In this way, Liz Bloom is very suspicious.
Xu Shuo was still thinking that Bronn was a person from outside the manor, and the first time he came to Wink Manor, he shouldn't know the servants in the manor. So as long as he doesn't leave the manor, it stands to reason that he won't have a chance to report to the masked men. But since Bloom had brought his own servant, and that servant was so coincidentally out on the day he and Lilian were out, Bronn was very suspicious.
But Bloom is not alone in having the ability to ventilate and the motivation to do so.
"Bronn is indeed suspicious." Xu Shuo looked at Anthony and asked in a tentative tone: "But if, if the inner ghost is not him, then who do you think it may be?" ”
Hearing this, Anthony's eyes became a little disgusted, and he said unhappily: "I know who you want to say, but I don't think Lord Herschel would do that, Lord Herschel and Lord Adam are brothers, and they are like brothers and sisters. If there is anyone in the manor who is suspicious, I can only say that it is Young Master Bron, anyway, it will not be the person who lived in the manor from the beginning! ”
Xu Shuo was a little surprised that Anthony would trust Herschel in this way, but he would not change his suspicions about Herschel because of this.
"It's too subjective for you to say that......" Xu Shuo said.
"Subjective? I think your thoughts are more subjective than mine, after all, why do you think the inner ghost is in the manor? Why can't it be you bounty hunters? The fact that Lord Adam went out hunting was not only known to the people in the manor. Anthony said.
"Ah, I forgot to tell you......" Xu Shuo patted his head, "Actually, when I was in the maze with Lilian yesterday, those masked men chased after us, and the target was obviously us. And only the people in the manor know about me and Lilian coming out, right? ”
Anthony's reaction was extremely violent, he grabbed Xu Shuo's shoulder, his eyes widened like eggs.
"What do you say?! Did you meet those guys again yesterday?! Hey, I've heard that there are Lv6 among those guys! Big, is the big lady okay?! ”
After yelling at Xu Shuo, Anthony muttered "Miss, Miss", turned around as if he had lost his mind, and staggered to run in the direction of the restaurant.
If Xu Shuo hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed his clothes, this guy would probably have run to Lilian to confirm.
"Calm down! Didn't you just meet Lilian, she's so nice, the masked people didn't touch us. Xu Shuo explained.
"Really?" Anthony turned his head to look at Xu Shuo with a somewhat disbelieving expression, "How did you escape from them?" ”
"I said I didn't run into it, Lilian and I came back directly from the maze with a teleportation crystal card."
"Uh, really?" When Anthony heard Xu Shuo say this, he was relieved, turned around, and faced Xu Shuo again.
Looking at Anthony like this, Xu Shuo couldn't help but say, "You really like Lilian." ”
Anthony had just lowered his eyelids when his eyes widened at the words.
"Why are you so surprised, do you think I can't see it?"
"You, don't talk nonsense! It's so disrespectful to Miss Lilian! ”
"Why is it disrespectful to Liliane, I'm talking about you."
Anthony's face flushed.
"I didn't! The eldest lady is my master, and I don't have any special thoughts about the eldest lady! ”
“……”
Xu Shuo pursed his lips, he didn't believe that Anthony had no idea about Lilian, from the first time he saw this guy, he had already seen the signs coming, at first he was just suspicious, combined with the various performances just now Xu Shuo was almost certain that this decent young man had more feelings for Lilian than between master and slave.
This would explain why Anthony was so hostile to Xu Shuo at first, and when he said he supported Herschel, Anthony's favorability of him decreased, and when he said that he was a supporter of Lilian and would leave the manor in the future, Anthony's favorability towards him warmed up.
(This guy doesn't know how to disguise himself at all, and he really looks like a decent boy in a hot-blooded comic.) )
Xu Shuo folded his arms and said enviously: "It's good, if your character were in my world, you should be welcomed by many people." ”
"What?"
"It's nothing, let's go back."
"Wait a minute, let's make it clear! Let's talk about it first, you are not allowed to say anything strange to the eldest lady! ”
"Okay."
Back at the door of the restaurant, the luncheon was not over, and the two returned to the queue to standby.
Xu Shuo glanced into the restaurant, where Lilian was still chatting with Bron.
(If it turns out that Brown has nothing to do with the Masked Man, Lilian will marry this guy, which is really cheap.) )
Xu Shuo subconsciously looked at Anthony beside him.
Sunny, decent, delicate facial features, obviously looks very simple, but at critical moments but very keen, he is a good hand at coaxing girls, and his age is about the same as Lilian's, if he is not too shy, maybe Liliane will fall in love with him.
It's completely different from people like me who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, don't know how to read the atmosphere when doing things, and are always overly optimistic or pessimistic. It's a pity that whether it's a person like you or a person like me, after all, it's not a rich man's opponent, and material conditions are indispensable for such a thing as marriage-Xu Shuo looked at the backs of Lilian and Bronn chatting happily, and couldn't help but think so.
Suddenly, Xu Shuo felt that his existence was really in the way, and he had thought that Lilian was isolated in the manor, and that the servants and family were not to be trusted. But for now, among the servants, there is a faithful and reliable butler like Anthony, and Bron, who is about to become Lilian's family, is a rich and powerful nobleman.
If both of them were Lilian's admirers, wouldn't he, the accompanying butler, be a big light bulb, redundant and embarrassing?
The rain outside the house kept raining, Xu Shuo felt that he had become damp, and he wanted to leave again.
(It's better to find out who is the inner ghost as soon as possible and get out of here as soon as possible...... Hopefully the next destination won't be as bad as Chewa City. )
Time cleared with the smell of food, and the luncheon was over.
Guests leave with friends or partners, and are led back to their rooms by butlers and maids.
Xu Shuo saw the cat wearing a hat that covered her ears and led a couple away. Then Anthony also left.
At last he was the only one standing in the doorway.
At this time, Lilian, as the host, was the last to walk out of the dining room. The moment she saw Xu Shuo, she closed her gaze.
Xu Shuo looked at her and didn't know what to say.
Like a real master and servant, Lilian said to Xu Shuo to go, and then the two left together, the difference was that the master led the way in front.
