Chapter 117 Shaken.
At Grace's master's public banquet, Duke Leslie was in the limelight. Everyone knew that her family's original "defective" male son had become a gene fusion because he followed Duke Lu Xia, and now he had changed from a husband to a master.
It can be said that Duke Leslie had caught up with any good things.
Duke Leslie was also very happy. In fact, even if she stood here at this moment to accept the sincere or hypocritical blessings of others, she was still a little dazed, as if she was dreaming. No, she didn't dare to do this even in her dreams.
Even though she was Grace's mother, she had never thought that Grace could be so ambitious!
The humiliation she suffered from Xiuska was finally calmed down. Xiuska was useless, but Grace was ambitious enough!
Today, Lu Xia also invited Mandela, Xiuska's former female master. At the beginning, the other party specifically said that she wanted to participate in the government hall, so Lu Xia added her name to the invitation list.
When seeing Duke Leslie again, Mandela came over to say hello with his new master's arm, and his expression was very natural.
Even though Duke Leslie didn't like her in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. After all, today was a good day for their Leslie family.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency Duke Leslie."
"Thank you, is this your new master husband?" Duke Leslie looked at him and had to admit that he was much better than her male son Xiuska in appearance.
Mandela smiled and nodded: "Yes, Villar, say hello to Duke Leslie."
"Good day, Duke Leslie."
Duke Leslie nodded in response.
Here, Mrs. Raffield was also in a good mood. Although today's public banquet had nothing to do with Smellian, she was also happy to see Smellian wearing a dress similar to Lu Xia's and Smellian being taken to greet the guests.
Even if this banquet had nothing to do with Smellian, who could guarantee that it would not be related next time?
Maybe the next time would be the public banquet where her Smellian became a concubine.
There is only one head husband, who has been inherited by Grace with good luck, but the concubine husband can still be coveted.
When Lady Dana brought Cecil back, she happened to meet Lady Rafael's eyes. The two looked at each other and smiled friendly.
But in fact, they had all kinds of calculations in their hearts.
Lady Rafael took a special look at Cecil's dress, which was completely different from Lu Xia, Grace, and Smellian, and she felt more comfortable.
Obviously, their Smellian was still competitive. He couldn't compete with Grace, but at least he was not surpassed by Cecil.
He didn't even take him with a custom dress, which obviously didn't matter to Duke Lu Xia.
Lady Dana naturally saw what Lady Rafael was thinking. Although she felt unwilling, there was nothing she could do. The fact was that so far, Cecil really couldn't compare to Smellian.
This was not just a matter of clothes.
Lady Dana glared at Cecil fiercely, but didn't say anything more. She didn't want people to think she was petty, and the dignity of the royal family still had to be maintained.
But Lu Xia was very sensible. After greeting the guests, he came to talk to Lady Dana. Seeing Cecil here, he asked him if he had eaten anything.
Even a picky person like Cecil couldn't find any fault with Duke Lu Xia at this moment.
Especially tonight, after seeing Lu Xia's attitude towards Grace and Smelian, it can be said that there is no harm without comparison.
He was the one who was hurt.
But he couldn't blame anyone, because he made that choice before. He just didn't want to admit it. He was indeed a little envious.
When Lu Xia left to do other things, Lady Dana glanced at Cecil: "Open your eyes and look around the entire empire. Can you find another female master who is so thoughtful and considerate of her partner?"
Cecil didn't respond, which was considered as tacit agreement, but he was still a little unconvinced in his heart. He couldn't help but complain in his heart, "He hasn't seen many female masters, how can he know if there are such women?"
"You don't know how to cherish, but there are naturally people who cherish. The next time we are going to attend may be Smelian's concubine's public banquet. I think Lu Xia also likes him very much. Who doesn't like a beautiful and sensible partner?"
"Mother, I'm not as bad as you say, am I?" He doesn't look bad either.
Dana sneered, didn't answer, only mocked.
The banquet lasted until very late before it ended. After the guests dispersed, Lu Xia was inevitably a little tired.
He handed the aftermath to the old housekeeper and returned to the room with Grace.
After watching the two leave, Cecil walked to Smelian's side: "Tsk tsk, I thought you had already entered the palace and won the favor of the female master after I haven't been back for so long. Now it seems that your progress is just so-so."
Smelian looked at Cecil who was trying to find a sense of balance from him: "Thank you for your concern, but I think that day will not be too far away, but I don't think you care. It's late, I'm going to go back to rest, good night."
"Hey!" Cecil stared at Smelian's back and wanted to say something else, but Smelian didn't mean to stay at all.
Does this guy know that he is mocking him?
Isn't he angry?
Cecil felt that he couldn't understand it. He originally thought that he would leave here immediately after the banquet. Anyway, Lady Dana had already left, and Duke Lu Xia obviously didn't care whether he stayed or not. No one would care whether he left or not.
He didn't want to stay here to see Duke Lu Xia's face. After all, living here is not as comfortable as coming and going alone.
But now he was shaken in his heart, because he wanted to know how Duke Luxia won people's hearts. Both Grace and Smelian were devoted to her. What kind of magic did she have?
Thinking of this, Cecil walked back to his room.
The old housekeeper was a little surprised to see him go upstairs. He thought that this man would leave immediately after the banquet, but he didn't expect him to stay.
Sure enough, some males are good at saying one thing and thinking another.
No matter how good they say, they are still shaken in their hearts.
It's not surprising. Who can resist the charm of their wives?
After Lu Xia and Grace returned to the room, Grace hugged Lu Xia from behind: "Thank you, Xia Xia, I am very happy with the dinner tonight."
"As long as you are happy, no one will question your identity in the future, Grace, you can hold your chest high and straighten your back to do anything, I will always stand by your side."
"Even if I might have done something that violated the bottom line?"
Lu Xia tilted his head and looked at Grace in confusion: "What do you mean by something that violates the bottom line?"
"It's a bad thing, but I have my own reasons. Will Xia Xia still stand by me?"
