Chapter 135 Change.

Duke Leslie did not expect Lu Xia to trust Grace so much. This was completely different from what she thought. She thought Lu Xia would be the same as her.

Worried about the unexpected crisis that Grace would encounter on the battlefield. But Duke Lu Xia was so relieved.

What should she say next?

Duke Leslie's mansion now needs any available male.

Especially Grace is so competitive.

For a moment, she thought of the unpromising Xiuska. If Xiuska had half the competitive spirit of Grace, she would not be so worried.

Her Majesty the Queen did not allow any media to report the rebels' attack on the resource mine, so the public did not know about it.

But there have never been secrets in the aristocratic circle. Grace's going to the battlefield to fight the rebels has spread in the aristocratic circle.

Many people want to learn about the situation on the front line from Duke Leslie, but Duke Leslie knows nothing about it.

After all, Grace would not tell her such important news, and she even felt that even Lu Xia might know nothing about the situation on the front line.

But Lu Xia didn't know about this, and Duke Leslie didn't specifically tell her about this. Because it was clear that according to Lu Xia's character, she would ignore these people.

After Grace left, the family was the same as usual, the only difference was that there was one less person at the meal.

Cecil looked at the two people eating at the table, as if there was no difference because of Grace's departure, as if Grace was not that important in this family.

After the meal, Lu Xia called Smelian to the study.

Hearing this, Cecil looked at Smelian after Lu Xia left, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Haha. Grace is not here, now is a good time for you to take the position."

Smelian glanced at him coldly: "Thank you for your kind reminder."

After saying this, Smelian didn't look at Cecil again, and went straight upstairs to see Lu Xia.

Cecil was silent for a long time after hearing Smelian's words. After a while, he looked at the silent old housekeeper beside him and said, "How come you also think that what I said is wrong?"

The old housekeeper looked puzzled and said, "I didn't hear anything just now."

Cecil felt like he had punched cotton with his fist, and the anger in his heart was rising.

He felt that everyone in this family was against him.

Smelian didn't care what Cecil was thinking. Anyway, he was always awkward.

It would be better for him to be awkward like this for the rest of his life and never realize how good Lu Xia was.

When he came to the study, Lu Xia was already sitting on the sofa with a blank look on her face. It was unknown what she was thinking at the moment, and she didn't even notice the sound he made when he pushed the door in.

Smelian couldn't help thinking that even if Lu Xia didn't show it, it was obvious that Grace's departure still had an impact on her.

Smelian was not surprised by this. As an outsider, he saw the relationship between Grace and Lu Xia very clearly. It would be a lie to say that he was not envious, but he believed that as long as he did not give up and kept working hard, he would be able to win Lu Xia's heart like Grace.

Finally noticing Smelian's arrival, Lu Xia smiled and said, "Sorry, I was a little distracted just now. I called you here to tell you that Mrs. Raffield has sent me the invitation list for your celebration banquet. Please take a look and let me know if you have any additions."

Smelian didn't expect that during this period of time after Grace left, Lu Xia would still be willing to hold a celebration party for him. She always makes people feel soft-hearted. Whenever he thought Lu Xia was already good, she could be even better.

He looked at Lu Xia tenderly: "Grace is currently on the battlefield, and her current situation is unknown. Why don't I not hold my celebration party?"

Obviously Lu Xia was in a bad mood, and she didn't want to celebrate such a thing at this time.

Lu Xia smiled at him: "Smelian, Grace is Grace, and you are you. It is his duty as a soldier to go to the battlefield. You don't need to bear the consequences for him. Your celebration party is very important to Mrs. Raffield. The time has been determined. There is no need to postpone or cancel it because of Grace's affairs."

"It is important for Grace to go to the battlefield, and it is also important for you to become a gene fusion. In this family, no one needs to sacrifice for anyone else. I hope you understand."

Smelian nodded. He felt that Lu Xia was always like this, always thinking about others, but it seemed that she only ignored herself.

He looked at the gentle little female in front of him and couldn't help but say, "Xia Xia, if you are sad, I can lend you my shoulder."

Lu Xia was slightly stunned, then understood what Smelian meant, knew he had misunderstood something, smiled and shook his head: "You think I am sad and worried about Grace going to the battlefield, right? I said, this is his duty as a soldier. I will worry, and it is normal, but I will not stop him, nor will I let this worry affect my own life."

"No need to comfort me, Smelian, I am not as fragile as you think. Even if Grace finally brings bad news, I am mentally prepared and I will welcome him back home."

Smelian really realized from this moment that Lu Xia was more sober than everyone thought.

He even clearly knew that if he was like Grace one day, Lu Xia would treat him the same way.

For some reason, he always felt that Lu Xia seemed to have no sense of belonging to everyone, as if she was ready to leave everyone at any time.

This made him feel a sense of panic for no reason, and he didn't know where this panic came from and how to calm down.

"Smelian, I asked the old butler to prepare a dress for you. It should be delivered the day after tomorrow. You can try it on. If there is anything wrong, just tell the old butler and he will fix it for you."

Smelian nodded: "I understand."

He hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said: "Xia Xia, Grace is not at home. If you have any questions or needs, just tell me. Don't forget that I am also one of your servants. I also want to do something for you."

Lu Xia knew very well that Smelian had been working hard for their relationship. She saw all of this, but she was not in the mood now.

But she didn't refuse him, and smiled and said: "Okay, I understand."

Seeing her agree, Smelian's heart was quietly relieved.

When Smelian came out of the study, he happened to run into Cecil who was coming upstairs. The two looked at each other, and Cecil's lips curled up:

"How is it, has Duke Lu Xia allowed you to move into the master bedroom?"

Smelian was not afraid of his ridicule at all, and chuckled: "Don't bother with that, I will definitely inform you on the day I move into the master bedroom."

Cecil bit his back teeth and said nothing more sarcastic, but said: "What exactly did she want to talk to you about?"

This time Smelian did not answer him, but looked at him contemptuously, and imitated his tone and said sarcastically: "Why, have you changed your mind and started to care about Xia Xia's affairs. I still like your previous rebellious look."
