Chapter 187 Banquet.
The news that Duke Luxia's mansion had another male servant soon reached the ears of Duke Leslie, Lady Raffield and Lady Dana. They had heard about this defective male from the Earl Li's family before, and knew that his relationship with the Earl Li's mansion was not harmonious, and the female of the Earl Li's family was not his original mother.
Otherwise, he would not have been sent to the Duke Luxia, who had a bad reputation, as a servant.
This was also the price he paid for breaking up his relationship with the Earl Li's mansion.
But now it seems that this is not a price, but a lucky choice.
On the first night when Simon moved into the Duke Luxia's mansion, the female of the Earl Li's mansion broke a set of tea sets at home.
After all, the rumors about Duke Luxia are no longer as bad as before, and he has become the most promising new female in the empire.
Now I don't know how many people want to have a relationship with Duke Luxia and want to send their own males to him, but he doesn't want them anymore.
At first, she wanted to push Simon into the fire pit, but now it seems that this is not a fire pit, but a blessed nest. He even regretted not sending his male son there, but instead let Simon get away with it.
Simon's female mother only has him as her male son. He has no right to inherit the Earl's Mansion, but he can inherit the inheritance left by his female mother.
For this, Simon agreed to the request of the current female mistress of the Earl's Mansion to let him become the Duchess of Lu Xia.
Now it seems that all this has fulfilled Simon.
But Lu Xia didn't know what the Earl of Li was thinking.
The celebration banquet held by Lady Dana for Cecil's gene fusion has arrived as scheduled.
That night, Lu Xia attended the banquet with Smelian, Cecil and Simon in their best clothes.
Duke Leslie was also invited. Looking at the several males around Lu Xia, only Grace was missing, which made Duke Leslie feel very complicated.
But Lu Xia did not neglect her. When he arrived at the venue, he did not greet Lady Dana first, but greeted Duke Leslie first, just because he did not want her to feel that Grace was not there and that he was alienated from Duke Leslie's mansion.
Prince Li Mang took all this into his eyes. When Lu Xia went to greet Lady Dana, he said to Duke Leslie: "Xia Xia is still so considerate. I was afraid that you would mind, so I came to greet you first."
Duke Leslie naturally knew that today was Lady Dana and Cecil's home court. Even if Lu Xia went to greet Lady Dana first, she would not care. But Lu Xia came to greet her first, which made her feel very touched and warm.
"She has always been so considerate, but it's a pity that Grace can't keep such good luck. Alas."
When she said this, she sighed for no reason. There were many things she wanted to say, but she also knew that the occasion was not right. She could only suppress her complicated feelings and smile naturally.
Prince Li Mang knew that she was in a bad mood, so he raised his hand and patted her shoulder to comfort her: "I heard that Xiuska has already chosen a new female master."
"Yes, he has a bad record. I am grateful that someone wants him. Although he is only a viscount, he can still be a head husband in the past, which is really good. I hope he will not let
me down this time." Now her only requirement for Xiuska is that he should be more obedient and stop causing trouble for her. She has no other expectations.
Prince Li Mang naturally knew what she was thinking, and nodded without saying much.
Here, Lu Xia had already appeared in front of everyone with Lady Dana, followed by Cecil.
Smellian and Simon were very tactful and did not steal Cecil's limelight on such occasions.
Simon took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray and said to Smelian, "Cecil said he was very happy today."
Smelian nodded, "Today is his good day, he should be happier. What about you, did Xia Xia say when she would hold a celebration party for you?"
Simon nodded, with a smile in his eyes, "The Duke is very considerate. She said that after Cecil's celebration party is over, she will hold one for me in the Duke's Mansion."
Smelian knew a little about his relationship with the Earl's Mansion of Li, and he was not surprised to hear that. He nodded, "Just ask if you need anything at that time."
He had no objection to Simon's existence. After all, they all knew about Simon's existence long before.
The only difference between them was that they came first and came later.
Simon smiled.
Everyone who came to the banquet knew that Cecil had become a gene fusionist. This was the third defective male who became a gene fusionist around Lu Xia, and everyone was only envious of this.
Now for them, no matter what happened to Duke Lu Xia, they didn't seem to be surprised.
They just regretted that they had misjudged Duke Lu Xia and had not sent their own male son to him earlier. But now Duke Lu Xia is no longer the Duke Lu Xia he once was. It is impossible for them to send their own male son to him.
Now they can only envy him.
Some people noticed that Lu Xia brought another male who had never appeared before to attend the public banquet hosted by Lady Dana.
After learning about Simon's identity, people were full of envy for him.
Someone said privately: "That guy looks very energetic and looks good."
"Why, you are still tempted, I advise you to give up, that guy is no longer an ordinary defective male, maybe he is also a gene fusion."
"I think Duke Lu Xia is quite interesting. The defective males around him have become gene fusions one by one, which is really enviable."
"Yes, we can only envy him."
Facing the sour words of the crowd, Lu Xia was unaware. She brought Cecil and accompanied Lady Dana to the banquet center and gained a lot of connections.
But Cecil always remembered Lu Xia's current physical condition and didn't want her to work too hard for him, so Cecil called Smelian halfway and asked him to accompany Lu Xia to rest.
Mrs. Dana heard: "Xia Xia, are you tired?"
Lu Xia was about to speak, and Cecil said: "I'll accompany you, let my sister go to rest."
Seeing that he was so considerate, Mrs. Dana smiled and said to Lu Xia: "Then Xia Xia, you go to rest, Cecil can stay here."
In fact, Lu Xia wanted to say that she was fine, but facing everyone's concern, she did not refuse. After thanking Mrs. Dana with a smile, she followed Smelian and left.
Simon had prepared a meal for her when she went over. Lu Xia ate something when she went out, but she didn't eat much. After all this socializing, she must have been hungry.
Smelian asked the waiter to bring a glass of milk and put it in front of Lu Xia: "Many people came tonight."
