Chapter 55 Suggestion.
Lu Xia's goal was just like this. Now that it was achieved, she couldn't help but look at him. She smiled and raised her eyebrows at Grace, with a little arrogance.
When she spoke again, her voice was still calm: "In this case, I thank you on behalf of Grace."
Duke Leslie was very happy to see her agree. This was equivalent to handing over the honor of Grace becoming a gene fusion to their Leslie family. You must know that Grace is now Duke Lu Xia's wife and servant, and she is her person. According to the rules of the empire, from the day Grace received Duke Lu Xia's favor, all the honors he received will no longer belong to their Leslie family.
Duke Lu Xia is willing to give up such an opportunity, so how could Duke Leslie not be happy.
After the call ended, Duke Leslie was happy, but he didn't forget what Lu Xia said about Xiuska.
Normally, she didn't mind Xiuska's oppression of Grace. After all, Grace herself was not motivated. As a "defective" male, it was too normal to be bullied by brothers and sisters. Every family with many children went through this.
So she never stopped such a thing from happening.
But now, whether Grace became a gene fusionist by accident or coincidence, his identity has changed, and he can no longer be treated as before.
Xiuska needs to be warned.
When Xiuska received the video invitation from Duke Leslie, although he acted very naturally, his eyes floating back and forth still betrayed his inner anxiety and fear.
After returning from the government hall, he has been uneasy in his heart, because he knows very well what it means for Grace to become a gene fusionist.
And Duke Leslie couldn't have been unaware of such a thing. He just hoped that she would know it later and give him more time, so he didn't tell Duke Leslie at the first time.
But he came in the end.
"Mother, mother, good day, do you have anything to talk to me about?"
"What do you think, what happened today, Xiuska, don't you have anything to say to me?" Leslie looked at the eldest son in front of him. If the identity of a gene fusionist is excluded, Xiuska is not as good as Grace.
Grace was able to become a colonel in the military region with her "defective" status, while Xiuska could only be an employee in the family business with her status as a gene fusionist.
The contrast between the two was too obvious.
Xiuska knew what Duke Leslie meant when he heard it, and he could no longer hide it. He could only speak unwillingly: "Today, I met Grace and his female master, Duke Lu Xia, when I was doing business in the government hall. They were processing information changes because Grace became a gene fusionist. Mother, I think you must investigate this matter carefully. How is this possible? Grace is a defective product. There has never been a case of a defective product becoming a gene fusionist in the empire. I suspect that they must have used some illegal means to falsify the test report and deceive everyone!"
When Xiuska said these words angrily, Duke Leslie kept looking at him quietly, as if he wanted to see how he could perform.
As soon as he finished speaking, Duke Leslie sneered: "Do you think that Grace's gene fusion test report was forged by Duke Lu Xia? On what basis did she do that? Just because Grace is just one of her many concubines? Do you look down on your brother or on Duke Lu Xia? You think you are a little smart, but in fact you are as stupid as a pig!"
Facing Duke Leslie's curse, Xiuska lowered his head and dared not say a word. In fact, he knew very well that the test report could not be fake, because there was no need for it. Just as Duke Leslie said, why did Duke Lu Xia work so hard for a concubine?
If Duke Lu Xia needs a gene fusion male to act as a front, as long as she asks, there are plenty of males waiting for her to choose. Isn't it a hundred times easier than doing this?
Seeing that he stopped talking, Duke Leslie continued: "I don't care what you think in your heart. Grace is no longer someone you can bully casually. You'd better be polite to him next time you meet. In addition, I plan to hold a dinner party for Grace's becoming a gene fusion. You can come at that time."
"Mother, I won't go if there is nothing else. You know, my female master may not..."
"You must come. I will greet her." Duke Leslie ignored him and cut off the communication directly.

The next morning, the dress that Lu Xia asked the old housekeeper to prepare in advance was delivered. When she stood in front of the mirror to try it on, she looked at her slightly bulging belly. After being covered by the loose skirt, it disappeared without a trace, which made Lu Xia feel much more at ease. In this way, she didn't have to worry about being discovered that she was pregnant.
The old housekeeper straightened her skirt: "Madam, are you ok?"
"Not bad, are everything ready?"
"Everything is ready, who are you going to bring to Prince Li Mang's dinner party tonight?" The old housekeeper had a reason for this, after all, Grace was not the only servant in the family now.
"Did Grace go to work?" Lu Xia did not answer directly, but remembered something, "I wonder what his friends in the military would say when they see him."
"They should be shocked." Grace turned a disaster into a blessing and became a gene fusion, which is what all males in the empire dream of.
"I think so." Lu Xia smiled. "Who do you think I should take to the dinner?"
"Do you really want my advice, Madam?"
"Tell me about it."
"I think Grace is very popular right now. If you take him with you, he will definitely become the focus of the party. He may even steal the limelight from Prince Li Mang. I think it's better to keep a low profile. Smellian just came home. I think he is very uneasy and doesn't know how to fit in. Why don't you take him with you tonight? It will also send a friendly signal to the Rafaeld family, right?"
"Is Smellian very uneasy?" Lu Xia carefully recalled Smellian's performance at home in the past few days. He was very quiet and didn't have much expression on his face, but he would answer any questions. He seemed to be very obedient, but he didn't make her feel uneasy at all.
This made her doubt the old housekeeper's eyes.
The old housekeeper had been with Lu Xia for a long time and knew that she was not the type to get angry. He smiled and said, "Maybe I guessed wrong, or maybe he didn't dare to show it, or maybe he was just pretending to be calm. It's up to you whether to take him with you or not."
"You have a point, but Duke Leslie will come to pick me up tonight. Do you think it's appropriate for me to take Smellian and Duke Leslie with me?"
"I didn't think it through."
"I don't mean to blame you. I'm not taking anyone with me tonight."
