Chapter 230: Home Affairs.
Mrs. Rafaelde also sent a voice message to Smelian. It happened that Smelian was not in the operating room at the moment. When he answered the phone, Mrs. Rafaelde asked directly without waiting for him to speak: "Xiangxiang was born naturally by His Excellency the Duke?"
Smelian did not expect that Mrs. Rafaelde came to him for this matter, but he soon realized that the twins in the family had just been born, and Cecil must have informed Mrs. Dana. The news of natural conception had spread recently, and Lu Xia should not be prepared to hide it anymore.
Thinking this through, Smellian did not deny it: "Well, it's true. I didn't tell you before because the time was not right. Now that you know, don't tell anyone for the time being. Xia Xia is still recuperating,
so don't be too tired." "Of course I know, I just didn't expect it, because natural conception is a legend, but I didn't expect it to become a reality for Duke Lu Xia. It's incredible. Smellian, you must perform well and don't let Duke Lu Xia dislike you. The future of our Raffield family depends on you."
She didn't want to get off Duke Lu Xia's ship anyway.
Smellian knew long ago that his mother was a very calculating person. He was not surprised to hear her words. He would not deliberately refute, but he would not listen to Mrs. Raffield on what to do.
He was already an adult, and obviously a father, so he knew clearly what he should and should not do: "If you have nothing else to do, I will go and get busy. There are still many things waiting for me here."
Mrs. Raffield, who had a lot to say, could only say: "Okay, okay, you go ahead and get busy."
After that, she cut off the communication, but the excitement in her heart could not be calmed down.
Walking back, she happened to run into Duke Leslie, who had also contacted Grace for confirmation. The two looked at each other, and both of them had excitement that had not yet been digested.
They came together at the moment: "Did you just ask Grace, did he admit it?"
Duke Leslie nodded: "He admitted it, he admitted it as soon as I asked. I even suspected that he didn't say it before because I didn't ask. What about you, Smelian?"
"Same as Grace, he told me immediately when I asked. It's really true that we only know about such an important thing now."
"I can understand this. The Fertility Research Institute had been eyeing it when my little Grape was just born. Wasn't your little Xiangxiang almost the same last time? Xia Xia concealed it for the sake of the two children, otherwise I don't know how many shady tricks the Fertility Research Institute would use, not to mention that our Queen was still there at the time, so we had to be cautious in everything. Now, we don't have to worry about it."
After listening to Duke Leslie's words, Lady Raphaelde also felt that it made sense: "I understand what you said. Duke Lu Xia's intentions. Perhaps it is because of her cautiousness that the two children are safe."
"Isn't it? Look at my little Grape and your little Xiangxiang. They are taught so well. My little Grape occasionally contacts me and asks about my recent health, how much I have eaten, and how I sleep. You see, he knows a lot at such a young age." When saying this, Duke Leslie's face was full of smiles. "I used to think that Xiongzi was useless, but now seeing little Grape, I think that was too narrow-minded. Maybe I could have treated them equally like Xia Xia did, and the children I raised would probably not be bad. Now, when I think of my Xiuska, I still have a headache."
Talking about this, Mrs. Raffield was also touched: "In fact, I did not expect that my Smellian could become the most promising one in the family. In the past, I only regarded him as a defective product who would not create benefits for the family. As a result, now the whole family has to rely on him. This reminds me of my attitude towards him in the past. Every time I see him, I feel uneasy."
"Isn't it? Now I am not tough in front of Grace. There is no way. We haven't done our best. Now the children don't care about us, which is good. Who told us that we don't have the same pattern as Xia Xia."
Mrs. Raffield nodded, then thought of something and asked: "What happened to Xiuska just now? I heard that he is now the mistress of a viscount. What happened?"
"Well, he did become the head husband of a Viscount, but he became the head husband because of the reputation of our Duke Leslie's Mansion. Until now, he has not received the favor of his mistress and is treated like air. He himself does not strive for progress. Although he is the head husband, he is suppressed by the concubines and servants in the family. His life is a mess. I feel a headache when I hear people talk about him. You said that I treated him much better than Grace at the beginning, but he can't compare to Grace in anything. He can't even sit firmly in the position of head husband."
Upon hearing this, Lady Rafaeld could also understand Duke Leslie's thoughts. After all, it is not common to treat the head husband as such a male. Besides, it is said that one learns from one's mistakes. As a result, it is unique that Xiuska fell into the same pit twice.
However, seeing that Duke Leslie was so worried, Mrs. Rafaeld couldn't help but said, "In that case, why not let Grace talk to him and teach him how to be a househusband?"
"Forget it, Xiuska can't be taught. Don't cause trouble for Grace. He will be what he is. I have seen clearly now. I can't count on him. Let's not talk about him anymore to avoid feeling uncomfortable. Mrs. Dana should go to see Xia Xia, so I'll go too."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about Xiuska anymore, Mrs. Rafaeld didn't say anything more and nodded. They should indeed go to see Duke Lu Xia.
When they came over, Madam Dana had already chatted with Lu Xia for a while. Seeing them, Lu Xia smiled and said, "Come and sit down."
"Xia Xia, you've worked hard, but you look pretty good."
"It's not hard. They are both very well behaved and didn't let me suffer."
"You are amazing. We all thought natural conception was a legend, but we didn't expect it to become a reality in your case. We all find it incredible now."
"I hope you don't blame me for hiding it."
"How could that be? Everyone knows you are doing this for the good of the children. If the Fertility Research Institute and our Queen knew that our children were all born from natural conception, they would definitely use your place as a material library for research and experiments. Now that that person is gone and you have acquired the Fertility Research Institute, it will be safer."
After listening to Duke Leslie's words, Madam Dana nodded and said, "That's what I said just now. There's nothing to worry about if the news is released now, but everyone should keep a low profile. Xia Xia still needs more rest, so don't let anyone disturb her."
