Chapter 237 Returning Home
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Andre looked at Winston with a bit of weirdness in his eyes. Strange images kept appearing in his mind uncontrollably, which was a mental pollution that could not be deleted.
He coughed lightly, exchanged a few words of business with Winston, and then hurried away. The matter at Rose Hill was settled, and he was in a hurry to send Jiang You home, and he also had to return to the Knights Templar to claim his leave.
According to the rules of the Kingdom Knights, in addition to the normal two days of rest every seven days, they can take an extra day off for each mission. Andre used all his accumulated vacation time this time, and it seems that there will be some left over.
This time, Baron Neumann's son had also been in trouble at Rose Hill. André, still serving in Baron Neumann's domain, was determined not to be implicated in this matter. Therefore, the investigation of the Rose Hill case would ultimately be taken over by General Alexander, who would ultimately announce the results to the victims in the name of His Majesty the King.
In this way, Andre had to return to the west city of Eston before the dust settled at the villa, show his face in the city, walk around, and clear himself of suspicion.
The surviving guests were all ordered by General Alexander to keep quiet, not to reveal the case to anyone else. Andrei also didn't tell anyone about his whereabouts. By the time Victor's message got back, Andrei had already been working for several days, so he wouldn't arouse the Baron's suspicion.
He found Jiangyou in the kitchen. Xiaogutou had already packed up all his pots and pans and was working hard to empty the entire storage room.
Andre: “……?”
"Hey, Andre! You've arrived just in time!" Jiang You's eyes lit up when he saw him. "Sister Yadra, the housekeeper, and the general all said I can take whatever food is in the storage room. The Knights have verified that these things are safe and non-toxic. Come and help me load them into the car!"
Andre was silent for a moment, then followed his father's train of thought. "Yeah, with something like this happening, Rose Manor should be sealed off until His Majesty the King makes his decision... These ingredients will spoil if left here, so why not let the chef take them away?"
"There are still fish and shrimp in the fish pond over there in the underground cave. Leila is helping me catch them!" Jiang You said happily, "Hey, I wonder if Diego can transport all these back."
"...It's not a big problem. I can find another carriage and ask Is to be the driver." Andre's mind worked quickly. "I still have some face."
"That's great!" Jiang You said sincerely, "If you weren't here, I don't know what I would do~!"
This was of course just a polite remark. Andre believed that with Little Bone's intelligence and flexibility, these little things could be easily accomplished, but he just liked to hear Little Bone praise him... Well, it felt good to be needed.
"That's right," Jiang You continued, "Leila just told me that she doesn't want to stay in the villa doing nothing and wait for natural aging. She has nowhere to go, and asked me if I could take her away. Is that possible?"
Andre thought about it seriously. "Well, Leila, like Rose Hill, is Princess Dracy's inheritance and should be inherited by her descendants. Considering that the princess's descendants are Brother Winston... If you really want Leila, I will go and tell Brother Winston. He probably won't care about such a trivial matter."
——In fact, Andre felt that Winston might not even want to inherit the manor.
"Oh, that's really great!" Jiangyou's soul fire jumped with joy. It wasn't that she coveted the doll worth nine million gold coins, but after spending the past few days with Leila, she had developed some feelings for her.
Even though the other person sometimes seemed like an artificial idiot, when Leila looked at Jiangyou with her big, pitiful eyes like a pet and begged Jiangyou to take her home, Jiangyou's heart couldn't help but soften.
Besides, she was indeed short of a helper in her brewing workshop. Aunt Wolf was planning to go to Holly's place to help, and she didn't want to keep him around for too long.
"But, before we take Leila away, can we find a puppet expert to take a look at her?" Jiang You said worriedly, thinking of something else. "She couldn't even recognize her own little master, Winston, and she often behaves like a mentally retarded person. I wonder if some parts of her body are worn out. It would be best if she could get a full body check and remove any traces left by her previous masters."
Andre thought about the crazy family of the German royal family and thought it was a good idea.
"That's not difficult..." he pondered. "There should be very professional puppet masters in the Rusman Federation. The two countries have a long tradition of mutual exchange of scholars. We can find someone at the Royal Magic Academy in the capital. I can ask my eldest brother to take Leila to the capital, repair her, and then return her."
In this way, Leila is the little servant given by Earl Winston to Jiangyou. On the surface, she has nothing to do with Rose Villa and will not attract the attention of Baron Neumann.
After the two of them had reached an agreement, Andre went to see Winston again. These requests were just a piece of cake for Winston, and he agreed without any hesitation.
All matters were resolved smoothly. Andrei and his father, who were in a cold war, said goodbye to each other with a cold snort, and then set out on the journey back to the city with Jiangyou and Yis.
It was still an unmarked horse-drawn carriage and a cart, both of which were packed to the brim - this time it was like a shipment coming in.
Andre: “…” As expected, Xiaogutou’s painting style is different from others.
The journey back was very smooth. They entered the west city of Eston as night fell and returned to the workshop just before closing time.
Nasha, who was closing the shop, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiangyou coming back. Jericho rushed out in two steps and helped his young master lead the dark horse Diego into the backyard.
Auntie Wolf also came over to help. She looked at the fish and shrimp in the wooden barrel and couldn't help but sigh, "Wow, there are so many seafood. Did you go to the beach specifically to buy some?"
"Let's put it this way..." Jiang You rubbed his bone claws, "Let's make some special dishes tomorrow, shrimp dumplings, shrimp rice rolls, and steamed fish with fermented black beans!"
——Well, even though all the ingredients this time were picked up for free, considering the future selling price, Jiang You still planned to make a profit despite her tears. She would go edit the takeout menu and flyers later and put up the ads first!
"Tomorrow I have to buy the deserted house next door." Thanks to the tips from the nobles and the bounty from His Majesty the King, Jiang You now has the money to expand and renovate. She has to finalize this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the land price will increase when the business becomes booming.
