Chapter 41 Taunting.
Grace did not expect Lu Xia to be so frank, as if she had never thought of lying to him.
This made him happy about Lu Xia's frankness, but unwilling to be frank with her.
Hiding the bitterness in his heart, Grace did not want Lu Xia to see his abnormality. A jealous male would not be favored by females.
Besides, he was just one of Lu Xia's servants. What right did he have to interfere in this matter?
"Dinner is getting cold, let's eat."
Lu Xia did not notice his emotional fluctuations, just thinking that he was curious about his attitude towards Smelian.
"Okay, you go back to your room first." Lu Xia turned and went downstairs.
The old housekeeper came out of the room, met Grace's emotionless black eyes, said nothing, and turned to leave the study.
Some things do not need to be said too clearly, he believes that smart people know what they should do.
In the empire, females are to contribute to the country's reproduction. Not to mention that Duke Lu Xia currently has only five servants, more is fine, not to mention that there will be main husbands and concubines in the future.
The last thing this family lacks is males.
In his opinion, it is rare for Grace to be favored for so long.
Lu Xia didn't know what Grace and the old housekeeper were thinking. She didn't have too many thoughts about Smellian who might appear in the family. Since the husband-servant relationship could not be dissolved for the time being, she would maintain it first. According to her current financial conditions, let alone raising one more person, even ten would be enough.
So for her, whether Smellian exists or not, it means that there will be one more person to eat at home from now on.
As for why her attitude towards Smellian and Grace is different?
That's because the time when Grace appeared made it impossible for her to refuse.
After eating a bowl of steaming shredded pork noodles, Lu Xia felt that all the fatigue in her body was swept away.
When she got up, she subconsciously touched her belly. Now her 4-month belly is slightly bulging, and she is already pregnant, but because she is not fat, it doesn't look obvious. She has been wearing loose clothes recently, and no one will know that she is pregnant unless she deliberately shows it. What's
more, she is in the pregnancy period and has no adverse reactions at all.
If it weren't for her growing belly, she really wouldn't have felt the reality of being pregnant.
After having supper, Lu Xia went straight back to the room. Grace had already changed into pajamas and was making the bed. When she got closer, she found that Grace had put on new sheets.
Men seem to be getting more and more skilled at this.
Seeing Lu Xia coming back, Grace said softly, "Is the noodles okay?"
"It's delicious, thank you."
"You're welcome, as long as you like it. I've prepared the bath water, you can use it directly."
Grace was as considerate as ever.

When Smelian was taken to the hovercraft, even though he was covered with a black robe, the scars could still be seen.
But he didn't seem to notice and followed behind Enor.
The car door closed. Enol, as his father, did not care about his experience and scars, but said, "Do you know who I met at the auction house today?"
Smelian looked out the window expressionlessly. His thin and fair face, because of his delicate and beautiful face, actually brought out a bit of holiness under the dim light.
He did not respond, and had no interest in Enol's words. He looked out the window, but in fact, there was nothing outside the window except darkness.
Enol seemed to be used to his appearance, and said to himself, "Your female master, Duke Lu Xia, is accompanied by someone. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the unappreciated male son of Duke Leslie's family. You are all husbands and servants. He is lucky. You know, your female master doesn't even know your name!" Enol
's words made Smelian's eyes, who was originally looking out the window calmly, ripple a little, but soon returned to calm.
He really didn't expect that person to appear here.
In fact, as early as when they were notified that they could do their own things and didn't have to stay in the Duke's Mansion, they should have thought of each other and were not interested in them, the husbands and servants.
But he didn't expect that his name wouldn't even be remembered.
"If your mother knew about this, she would be very angry."
"Wouldn't she be angry if something like this happened?" Smelian suddenly spoke with full of sarcasm.
He knew very well that the reason why Enor came back to rescue him was just because his identity was different from those tribesmen who were plundered before.
The son of Chief Rafaeld was plundered and sold, which was definitely a provocation to the authority of the chief. His mother would not let it go. Even if he died, it would be better than being plundered and sold like this.
Moreover, even if he was to be sold at a low price, his mother had already maximized his benefits.
It was a pity that the adult didn't even remember his name, which was really ridiculous.
"It's good that you know. When you go back, admit your mistake to your mother."
Hearing this, Smelian remained silent again, as if he didn't hear it, or maybe he heard it, but didn't want to refute it because it was meaningless.
But after returning, the imagined storm did not come. Chief Rafael even changed his usual contempt and disdain. After Smelian came back, he greeted him warmly and acted like a loving mother: "Oh, my little Smelian must have suffered a lot outside. He is finally back. I will ask the doctor to check you carefully. Don't leave any root of disease. You must be hungry. Dinner has been prepared early in the morning. You can eat after seeing the doctor."
Smelian stood there with his body tense, allowing the other party to touch his face affectionately, expressing his heartache.
Although Enor on the side was puzzled, he did not disturb him.
Until Chief Rafael finished his motherly role, he changed his tone: "Eat and have a good rest. Duke Luxia will send someone to pick you up tomorrow."
This sentence made Smelian's eyes more mocking. He looked at Enor, who was surprised, and wanted to ask him, is this what you mean by 'not remembering his name'?
"When did this happen?" Enor could no longer remain silent after hearing this.
"What when did this happen? Just now, Duke Luxia personally sent a message to her butler saying that he would come to visit tomorrow morning. Since you met Duke Luxia in the black market, why didn't Smellian just go back with him? Why did he come back!" Although she said this, she still looked very happy. Even if the person who came tomorrow morning was not Duke Luxia himself, she knew very well that the old butler had a special status in the Duke's Mansion.
This shows that Duke Luxia still attaches great importance to Smellian.
Indirectly, it also means that he attaches great importance to their Rafaeld family!
