Chapter 77 Accident.
After Mrs. Raffield left, Smelian turned around and prepared to go back to the bedroom to rest, and saw Grace standing not far away.
He didn't know when the other party appeared here, but it was obvious that she was waiting for him.
Smelian paused and walked over: "Looking for me?"
Grace looked at him: "You should feel that Xia Xia is different from other female masters. She doesn't mind our identities and will consider us. She is not afraid of trouble, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't mind trouble. I hope that your conflict with the Raffield family will not involve her."
"Today is an accident, but I did not handle it well. I will pay attention. Thank you for reminding me." Smelian didn't think that Grace's appearance here was a provocation to him.
He didn't know how many times he had reminded him like this in his heart.
The other party could talk to him alone about this matter at this time, one because he didn't want his affairs to affect Lu Xia, and the other because he was one of the husbands and servants of Duke Lu Xia.
If it had nothing to do with this family, he knew very well that Grace would never come to tell him this on purpose.
If Lu Xia hadn't cared, any other female master would have troubled him with Mrs. Raffield's uninvited visit tonight. It was indeed because he had failed to control his family.
Moreover, tonight was a party for friends hosted by Duke Lu Xia to celebrate Grace's promotion to major general.
Fortunately, the atmosphere was not ruined by him and the Raffield family.
"I'm glad you understand." Grace saw that he had taken her words in, and turned away without saying anything.
Watching Grace leave, Smelian couldn't help rubbing his brows.

On the way back with Prince Li Mang, Duke Leslie couldn't help but say, "Duke Lu Xia shouldn't have invited Mrs. Raffield tonight."
Prince Li Mang nodded and said, "It should be that she didn't invite him. I saw that when the housekeeper told her, she was quite surprised. Mrs. Raffield should have come here by herself. Maybe she didn't even know there was a party tonight."
"She wouldn't think that Duke Lu Xia was too good to our Grace, so she came here to fight for her son?" Duke Leslie couldn't help but worry.
After all, everyone knows that the males of the Raffield family are good-looking.
They are loved by the females of the empire.
What if Duke Lu Xia really abandons Grace and starts to favor Smelian?
Seeing her nervous look, Prince Li Mang couldn't help but say: "Don't worry, Lu Xia can obviously treat everyone equally, and the situation you think won't happen. No matter what Mrs. Raffield's attitude is, Lu Xia will not be affected by her."
The fact that Lu Xia can independently make such a career is enough to show that she is not that kind of confused female.
"I hope so, but my Grace is also excellent now." In fact, she still hopes that Lu Xia can promote Grace to the head husband. In this way, no matter how many people appear around Duke Lu Xia in the future, at least their Leslie family can stand firm.
"What you need to do now is not to do unnecessary things. Let nature take its course, and the result will be good. Lu Xia may seem approachable, but she absolutely does not like other people interfering in her family affairs."
Duke Leslie knew that this was Prince Li Mang's suggestion to her, and nodded: "I know, I won't do anything."
Now Duke Lu Xia has already caught the eye of Lady Dana of the royal family. He is only thinking about how to make friends with her, so why would he do something annoying.
I don't know what Duke Leslie is thinking. After everyone has dispersed, Lu Xia returned to the room and looked through the recent work arrangements.
In less than a month, the baby in her belly will come out, and she has to arrange things properly before then. In order to avoid accidents, she has to take some time off just in case.
The delivery room has also been set up, in the Duke Lu Xia's mansion.
When the time comes, Dr. Eugene will move in first as a family doctor to prepare.
As for how to explain to the outside world after the child is born, it will be much simpler.
Although the Fertility Research Institute is an authoritative institution in the empire, it is not the only one that can carry out breeding.
The breeding technology is not the patent of the Fertility Research Institute. In today's empire, this technology has no technical difficulties. It's just that everyone recognizes the Fertility Research Institute.
As the due date approaches, Lu Xia also began to reduce going out and socializing. In order to be with Lu Xia when she gives birth, Grace deliberately exchanged cruise time with others in advance and changed two shifts.
In this way, she can be with Lu Xia for a week and take care of her conveniently.
So during this period, Grace is much busier than
usual. Early this morning, Grace boarded the cruise ship and started a three-day cruise.
I don't know if it's because Lu Xia's due date is approaching, but Grace has been inexplicably nervous recently. People who don't talk much usually have become chatterboxes now.
Before leaving in the morning, he did not forget to instruct the old housekeeper and Smelian, asking them to take good care of Lu Xia and wait for him to come back.
The family has also paid special attention to Lu Xia's affairs recently.
Lu Xia felt that she was now a rare protected animal, and the whole family was on high alert, but in fact, as the person involved, she did not feel that she was going to give birth at all.
Eat when you should eat and sleep when you should sleep, and there is nothing wrong with your body.
However, this peaceful life was broken by one thing. The main materials for making the No. 1 Courtyard Beauty Cream were detained at the Victoria Star Port, and the person in charge was required to go through the approval procedures before they were released.
After Smelian knew about this, he took the initiative to contact Mrs. Raffield. Although Lu Xia's batch of goods was not transported by the Raffield family's route, as a transportation family, the Raffield family still had a network of relationships to investigate this matter.
After knowing that the reason why this batch of raw materials was detained was because contraband was mixed in it, the person in charge must be present in person to certify it before it could be released.
At this time, Smellian originally wanted Mrs. Rafael to use her connections to solve the matter, but was rejected by Lu Xia.
Because she knew very well that if she really used the connections of the Rafael family to solve the matter, she would inevitably owe a lot of favors, and her future interactions with the Rafael family would become very passive.
The last thing she wanted to do in her life was to be controlled by others.
So she planned to go there in person. If everything went well, two days would be enough. After all, the distance from the Imperial Star to the Victoria Starport was not far.
It only takes a few hours by starship.
"Please help me book a ticket, butler." Lu Xia said to the old butler after reading the approval process. Smellian on the side hurriedly said, "I'll go with you."
