Joanna glared at him in embarrassment and annoyance, then hurriedly lowered her head to eat without answering.
Angus knew that she was shy, so he smiled faintly and stopped teasing her shyness.

The next day, Qu Lingyuan opened her eyes and got up to see a note on the bedside.
[Get up and go to the restaurant for breakfast. I've asked for leave from school for you. Have a good rest. —Troy]
Qu Lingyuan held the small piece of paper between her fingers, her eyes gentle.
"Go follow Troy. I want to know what he will say to Ona today." She put down the note and said to Yiling.
"Okay." Yi Ling nodded and flew out of the door.
As a person who specifically provides "rations" for Troy, Qu Lingyuan is taken care of by a special person. Someone will deliver food to her room three times a day. The treatment is good, but she has no freedom.
The note told her to go to the restaurant, but there was no restaurant in this three-story building. It was just rows of rooms where all kinds of slaves lived.
Boom boom boom——
Just as she was wondering, there was a steady knock on the door, and someone outside asked softly, "Excuse me, are you awake? The young master ordered me to take you to the restaurant."
Qu Lingyuan was still wearing the nightgown provided here and opened the door in confusion.
She remembered the man's voice; it was the housekeeper who bought her that day.
According to common sense, servants are responsible for taking care of slaves, but their status is higher than that of slaves. Before, servants never knocked on the door when they came to deliver meals to her, but just pushed the door open and walked in.
The butler's status was even higher. He didn't even mention knocking on the door, but actually used honorifics to address her? It seemed that Troy was using his status as a young master to support her.
"I...I need to change my clothes." Qu Lingyuan did not become arrogant because of the other party's respect. Instead, she was gentle and polite and smiled at the butler.
The housekeeper raised his hand to stop her: "No need to change clothes, the young master has prepared a new room for you. All the supplies, including clothes, have been prepared in the main building."
Qu Lingyuan was stunned for a moment.
Troy actually asked her to live in the main building? And even prepared things for her?
Perhaps her surprise was too obvious, so the butler continued with a smile, "The restaurant is also in the main building. The mistress and the master have already eaten and left."
Qu Lingyuan was a little confused about what Troy meant, and followed the butler to the main building in a daze.
The food in the restaurant was exquisite, filling the entire table, much more than the amount on the small tray in her original room.
She was a little overwhelmed by what she saw and ate breakfast stiffly while being served by the housekeeper.
After breakfast, she was taken to the room on the second floor by the housekeeper.
"This is your room. The room next to it on the left is the young master's room," the butler said as he helped her open the door. "Everything inside is prepared for you."
The size of this room is three or four times larger than the original room for slaves. It has its own separate toilet and bathroom. There is also a dressing table at the foot of the bed, and some exquisite bottles and jars are neatly placed on the table.
Before she could recover from her surprise, the housekeeper bowed to her and said, "Then you should have a good rest. I'm leaving now. If you need anything, just ring the bedside bell."
He pointed to the golden bell on the bedside table.
It was specially made, connected to another small golden bell on his body, and there were several bells of different colors hanging on his chest.
Qu Lingyuan initially thought it was a decoration and wondered why the bell didn't ring. Unexpectedly, it was a magic calling bell.
The housekeeper left and closed the door, leaving Qu Lingyuan alone in the room in a daze.
She was wondering what Troy was thinking, but before she could figure it out, a translucent screen popped up in front of her, and on it was Yiling's face.
"I've recently figured out a new way to use it. Look, isn't it convenient?" Yiling moved away from the camera, revealing Troy and Ona behind him.
Troy seemed to be in Ona's house, and judging by the surroundings, it looked like Ona's bedroom.
"Why are you here?" Ona looked not in a good mental state, but when she saw Troy, she got up from the cushion in surprise and sat up straight.
Troy didn't give her any face, with a cold face, he asked mercilessly: "What did you do to her?"
Ona was obviously stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered her head, but said nothing.
She had no idea how Troy knew about it, and her heart was beating fast as she thought about how to exonerate herself.
Troy chuckled slightly in mockery.
He was not 100% sure that it was Ona who had touched Qu Lingyuan, so he deliberately did not mention Qu Lingyuan's name, just to see Ona's reaction.
If she really didn't do anything, she should have a clear conscience and a confused look on her face, not understanding what he said.
But this reaction...almost confirmed her own guilt.
"Don't try to quibble. I'm not stupid," Troy said word by word, as if giving her a suspended sentence. "I really didn't expect you to do such a thing. Irene disappeared inexplicably before. Could it be you who did it?"
He was just jokingly mocking Ona, but as soon as he said that, Ona's shoulders trembled because she felt guilty.
"They wanted to rob you so I..." She said in a low voice.
"That's enough, my people, you don't need to interfere!" Troy almost shouted this, then immediately turned and left, slamming the bedroom door, leaving Ona at a loss on the bed.
He was in a very confused mood. Ona was implicitly admitting that it was her fault that Irene happened. All these unprovoked disasters were brought to Irene and Qu Lingyuan by him.
Qu Lingyuan looked at the light curtain and breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, when Troy went to find Ona this time, he even dug up Irene's affairs.
Yi Ling reappeared from the screen and said to her, "Troy was originally going to find Ona at the academy to ask about you, but Ona took leave to rest at home because of lack of energy, so Troy came to her house to find her."
Qu Lingyuan gave him a thumbs up and said, "This live broadcast is quite useful. I commend you."
She wasn't surprised at all that Troy was angry, especially after he learned the truth about Erin's disappearance.
A flash of pride flashed across Yi Ling's face, but he suppressed it with reserve. He asked, "Should I continue to follow him?"
Qu Lingyuan thought for a moment and shook her head at the screen: "No, come back. I just want to see what he will say to Ona, not to monitor him..."
Surveillance is not a good thing, and she doesn't want to pry into other people's privacy.
"Then I'll go back to you now." Yi Ling nodded.
He left the camera, and the light curtain stayed in front of Qu Lingyuan for a few seconds.
Qu Lingyuan took the opportunity to curiously pull at the light curtain and look left and right, trying to find where the camera of this magical device was.
Yi Ling could still see the scene on her side. She inadvertently lowered her head and saw Qu Lingyuan's curious baby-like face.
