It is always a pleasure for a woman to receive a gift.

Li Aili wears a dragon gemstone necklace and falls into a sweet sleep.

In her dream, a platinum-gold dragon encircled her with its massive body.

Then, with a huge brush in her hand, the dragon looked at her with ice-blue eyes, forcing her to scale herself with the brush.

Li Ellie didn't want to brush.

The platinum-gold dragon gestured to the precious dragon gemstone necklace.

Li Aili realized, where is this special meow a gift, but her 'labor'.

So, she used a big brush to brush the dragon scales all night.

When she sat up the next day, Li Aili only felt sore, as if she had been tossed by 100 flower fairies for a night.

At the dinner table, the 'husband and wife' were in stark contrast.

One is refreshed, the other is weak.

Li Aili 'struggled', scooped up a spoonful of oat milk porridge with a spoon, and sent it to her mouth with difficulty, when she heard the duke on the other side ask:

"Didn't get a good night's rest last night?"

Li Ali complained: "I had a particularly tiring dream. ”

"What about you?" She asked casually.

The duke raised the newspaper in his hand slightly, covering the corners of his mouth, "A sweet dream." ”

Seeing that Li Aili had almost eaten, the duke, who put down the newspaper, said, "Charlie Kelan's wife wants to see you." ”

Li Aili looked at Duke Leng Jade in confusion.

"Isn't she gone yet?"

Arthur Leng Jade flipped through the pages of the newspaper and said lightly: "Balk has sent someone to the royal capital to ask for a ransom from the McQuay family. ”

"Who's McWell?" Li Ellie was a little dazed.

"Yelena Kolan's maiden home." The Duke paused, and put it more bluntly, "Charlie Coland's current wife's maiden family." ”

Ellie Lee: "......"

The Duke is a connoisseur of robbing houses.

"What about the sixteen Golden Knights? Didn't send someone to their house to ask? Li Aili said slowly.

The Duke raised his eyes and gave her a meaningful look.

I have to say that this couple is surprisingly consistent in some aspects.

Arthur Leng Jade's tone was mixed with a hint of pity, and said, "These people are all from civilian backgrounds. ”

The most valuable thing on their bodies is their equipment.

Li Aili blinked, "Huh? Can't the king pay a ransom for them? ”

The Duke took a sip of hot black tea, "I think that's why he dared to send these people here with all his fanfare. ”

Li Aili understood, if she wants money, she wants her life.

This is expected to be the Duke of Leng Jade can't kill the knight.

Hearing this, the shovel in Li Ellie's heart was about to move.

She made an unexpected windfall yesterday as an initial construction fund for her future territory.

Now that the money is available, as long as there is a divorce, the territory promised by the duke can be quickly obtained.

So what are the shortcomings of her future little life?

Answer: Lack of people!

That's 16 Golden Knights! If you can solicit ......

"Oh! Can I get in touch with them? "The king was indeed a great good man, and when he was sleepy, he gave people pillows.

The Duke glanced up at her, his face was a little cold, and he threw down the newspaper and left the dining room without saying a word.

Ellie Lee: "...... what's going on??"

After eating, Li Aili entered the [Alchemy House] and harvested today's magical plants.

Seeing that the fresh-keeping cabinet has inventory again, my heart is a little more steady.

After leaving the [Alchemy House], she had some nothing to do, and in the past, she would go to the alchemy shop in Canterlot at this time.

In addition to the several strategic potions that she promised to supply the Cold Jade Knights, she would take the remaining strange or more life-like alchemy elixirs to the small shops in the city to sell.

But now the shop is in the hands of the Minotaur to manage.

Li Ellie was idle.

I was thinking about whether to visit the old man who was still following the 'Wall of Ice and Fire' when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Old Conrad's butler walked into the room and first bowed respectfully to Li Ellie, "Ma'am." ”

"Ah, what's the matter, Conrad?"

"That's right, the Lord must see you. Duke means to see what you mean. ”

Li Aili was a little curious, "Yelena Kolan?" I don't seem to have much to do with her. ”

"Then I'll help you refuse."

"No, I'm idle and have nothing to do, so it's better to go and see."

Conrad smiled slightly, "The roses in the back garden are blooming, and it might be a good choice to set up a table of afternoon tea there and entertain the Lordess, don't you say?" ”

"Just do as you say." Li Ellie has begun to get used to the butler's words.

……

Joanna was not worried about Barkin Bullhoof and went to the city center.

So, Li Aili let go of herself.

Holding a delicate lace folding fan, I randomly chose a Crolo-style goose yellow waist-pinching dress, which was as beautiful as a fairy without powder.

That's how she appeared in front of Yelena Kolan.

Yelena's face contorted the moment she saw her.

Li Aili saw a blood-red "bubble" coming out of the top of her head:

【Ha!! The vixen of the Nice family really only has one face to see! 】

[Look at what she's doing with a bucket waist!] No wonder Duke Leng Jade was so cold to her before! 】

[Hah! 】

Ellie Lee: "......"

"Ah, I'm relieved to see that you look so good," said Li Elli sincerely, "I was really worried about you after I learned this morning that Balk had gone to your mother's house to ask for ransom. ”

The Lady, who was still cursing Li Aili in her heart, was stunned.

Then, the blood on her face quickly receded, and she clutched her chest and inhaled desperately, as if she was about to pout in the next second.

Li Aili elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot black tea.

In the first round, Li Aili won.

[Ahh Slut!! I'll kill you!!! 】

The Duchess suppressed the anger in her heart, and forced a smile and said, "Ah, I was really relieved to see that you had a good relationship with the Duke yesterday. After all, the nobles of the royal capital were worried about the duke's marital status. ”

Li Aili looked puzzled.

Charlie Kelland has nothing to do with her, the second wife of this ex-uncle, what are you worried about?

The Duchess found her rhythm and gracefully picked up her teacup, "After all, if you don't have a good relationship, you won't have children." ”

"Unlike me, I have already given birth to an excellent heir for Charlie."

Li Aili raised her head in confusion, "You said that your son who was captured by the duke, and in the end, his grandfather scraped together enough ransom money to get it back?" ”

The maids around him had to bow their heads in order to hide their faces that were about to hold back their laughter.

The Lordess's makeup was about to crack.

Li Aili was unconscious, and continued to mend the knife, "Eh, maybe I don't know very comprehensively, so where is his excellence?" The pose of being captured by the duke is particularly ingenious? ”

"Poof~" A maid hurriedly covered her mouth.

The Duchess was stunned for a long time and didn't say anything, relying on the crazy output of bubbles above her head.

【xxx！！！ xxxxxx！！！ xxxxxxx！！！ 】

In short, the scolding is particularly dirty.

Li Aili took a sip of tea.

In the second round, the Duchess won.

The Lady's hands trembled slightly, but she still learned from Li Aili to pick up the teacup, "Seeing that the Duke is not too young, hasn't the Lady given birth to an heir for the Duke yet?" ”

The Duchess glanced at Li Ali disapprovingly, "This is not good, how can it be done without giving birth to an heir for her husband?" ”

"Oh, I almost forgot. I heard that the Duke is still sleeping in a separate room with you...... Eh, I'm sorry, I was rude, oh hehehe~"

Li Aili really likes the Lordess's 'addictive' appearance.

She smiled very tolerantly, "Yes, I should learn from you this, a third party who has lost sight of marriage by giving birth to a child has become a wife who has entered the house." ”

"Looking all over the country with a lantern, there is no mistress like you who can give birth to children."

The Lords and Ladies were stunned.

After reacting, she directly pounced on Li Aili with her claws, but was held down on the spot by the maid who had been prepared.

Like a ghost, she pointed her bright red nails at Li Ellie's nose, "How many more days can you be arrogant??? ”

"Hahaha! You don't know about sluts, do you? Marquis Marina has already written to the Pope! ”

"She asked for a 'pardon', and with the Pope's 'pardon', the Duke will be able to divorce you!

Will he continue to endure you???

Hahaha! You're about to be swept away! ”

Li Aili, who had already gotten up and was about to leave, paused.

She turned around and her big green eyes were shining, "Are you telling the truth?" ”

Yelena Kolan thought she had poked her in the sore spot, and smiled viciously, "Of course, wait and see! ”

The Lord thought she had finally pulled one back.

"That's great news!" Li Ellie's eyes lit up suddenly, and she was surprised.

Yelena Kolan: "??? ”

………

In the study, the maid who had been waiting in the back garden whispered a few words beside the duke.

Several Grand Knight Captains were still arguing over whether to attack the county of Rafal or the Marquis of Soli.

After listening to the maid's words, Arthur Cold Jade stood up and planted the Cold Jade battle flag on the sand table in a place that no one expected.

County of McWell.
