Chapter 75 Visitors.
Lu Xia was a little surprised by Smellian's words. What surprised her was not the fact that Mrs. Rafaeld needed her to come, but Smellian's attitude.
Grace looked normal, and did not seem surprised.
As a male who was once a "defective product", he could understand Smellian's thoughts.
"Why?" Lu Xia put down the cutlery and looked at Smellian seriously, as if she wanted to listen to his reasons.
In fact, she could guess the answer to the question, but she did not expect Smellian to express it so bluntly.
"Because I am your husband now, and I have little relationship with the Rafaeld family. My mother wants to rely on your glory, and she should have told you in person. I don't want to make excessive demands on you because of this. You have no such obligation to do anything for me and the Rafaeld family."
To put it bluntly, Lu Xia did not owe them anything.
"But in fact, this is not an excessive request. Logically, I should also visit the Rafaeld family. Grace did the same thing at the beginning. Wait for me to arrange a time, and then I will go back with you. The next time Mrs. Rafaeld writes, you can tell her the same thing."
Smellian didn't expect that even after he said this, Lu Xia was willing to accompany him back. He was a little confused.
"Why?" This time it was his turn to ask this.
Lu Xia smiled and said, "Like you said, you are mine now. Visiting your family is a respect for the Rafaeld family. At the same time, I heard that your family has transportation routes to various galaxies. Is that right?"
"Well, the Rafaeld family mainly relies on transportation. Do you have any needs in this regard?"
"Not now, but there is no guarantee that there will be in the future. After all, making friends with the Rafaeld family is a win-win situation for me. But Smellian, you don't need to think so much, just do your own thing. As for the relationship between the Duke's Mansion and the Rafaeld family, it will not affect our relationship."
She didn't need to use Smellian as a medium to exchange for anything.
Smelian was surprised that Lu Xia was not opposed to this kind of thing, and was even willing to do it. This surprised him a little.
After all, any female would think that this kind of thing was a kind of exploitation.
"Xia Xia has her own principles in doing things, you don't have to think too much." Grace saw his look of disbelief and couldn't help but explain.
Smelian looked at him and couldn't help but wonder if Grace had experienced what he was going through now, so she was so calm.
He nodded, and his mood, which had been irritable because of receiving the video from Mrs. Rafaeld, became better.
He found that Lu Xia could really bring people a sense of security, whether she was talking or doing things.

The next evening, Duke Leslie and Prince Li Mang came to Duke Lu Xia's mansion together.
The old butler arranged for someone to receive them outside the door early in the morning.
At this moment, Lu Xia led the two people in and greeted them with a smile: "I just thought you should be here soon, let me introduce you, this is Admiral Snoop, Grace's direct leader, this is Grace's adjutant, today is our private gathering, everyone please don't be polite." Admiral
Snoop was still calm when he saw Duke Leslie and Prince Li Mang again, but Grace's adjutant was indeed a little reserved, because he didn't usually come into contact with these two people.
Now that they suddenly appeared, he didn't know how to deal with them for a while.
Fortunately, neither Duke Leslie nor Prince Li Mang seemed to have so many demands.
He couldn't help but think that the female masters who were on good terms with Duke Lu Xia were very approachable.
In fact, Duke Leslie and Prince Li Mang didn't expect that Lu Xia would actually invite two males to their home. After all, in today's empire, females are respected. No matter what family background and social status males have, they are inferior to females.
However, because they are familiar with Lu Xia's style of doing things, they feel that this is indeed something Lu Xia can do, and they accept it well.
If it were someone else, they might have to think about whether it was a humiliation.
But if it was Lu Xia, it wouldn't be the case. Admiral Snoop and Grace's adjutant were both people who had a direct relationship with Grace, and tonight was a private banquet to celebrate Grace's promotion to major general. Everything started from Grace.
They were only qualified to participate because they were on good terms with Lu Xia.
Only Lu Xia could be so good to males.
Seeing the undisguised smile on Duke Leslie's face, Prince Li Mang couldn't help sighing again that her family didn't have a decent male son, otherwise, she would definitely want to marry Duke Lu Xia.
"Now that everyone is here, let's take a seat. I don't know what everyone likes to eat, so today's meal is mainly self-service. Don't be polite." Lu Xia led everyone to the restaurant. Grace and Smellian saw the visitors and stood up to greet them.
Unexpectedly, there was another husband of Lu Xia in the restaurant, so everyone couldn't help but look at Smellian more.
Prince Li Mang was more direct: "Who is this? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"This is Smellian, and he is also my man." Lu Xia did not hesitate at all and directly introduced Smellian's identity, but did not mention his family. He only said the three words "my man", which was enough to show the significance of Smellian's existence in this family.
Duke Leslie silently looked at Smellian, looking at his white hair and golden eyes, he naturally guessed his relationship with the Rafaeld family.
Unexpectedly, the second husband of Duke Lu Xia is from the Raffield family.
Although the Raffield family has no title, they are very rich. The purpose of sending their own people to Duke Lu Xia is also very simple and not difficult to guess.
After greeting several people, Smellian did not say much. He was very clear about his status today. This was a celebration banquet for Grace. His presence was already a kindness of Duke Lu Xia.
So why would he steal Grace's limelight and bring trouble to Lu Xia?
Because it was a private party, the atmosphere was very good. Admiral Snoop and Grace's adjutant were talking to Grace, and Lu Xia was responsible for entertaining Duke Leslie and Prince Li Mang. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
At this time, the old butler came in from outside, subconsciously glanced at Smellian, and then leaned close to Lu Xia's ear and whispered: "Madam, Mrs. Raffield is here."
Lu Xia was stunned, and then looked at Smellian. Seeing that the other party looked normal, when he met her eyes, there was a bit of doubt in his eyes.
Lu Xia nodded, knowing that Smelian might not know that Mrs. Rafaeld was here: "Let her in."
