Chapter 88 Testing.
Facing Smellian's ridicule, Cecil was powerless to refute. He was indeed not afraid that Duke Luxia would end his husband-servant relationship with him. What he
could not get over was the majesty of Lady Dana and the royal family. It was not that he had not resisted, but the result of resistance was fruitless. He thought that Duke Luxia had ignored him for so long and had long forgotten him. In the end, he did not come to find him, but his mother always remembered this matter and did not give him a chance to get rid of it.
It seemed that the free time in these days was stolen.
Standing here at this moment, he was extremely irritated when he returned to reality.
Smellian naturally knew what was wrong with him. Even if their family backgrounds were different, the shackles on them were the same.
Compared with the disagreement between Smellian and Cecil, the people chatting in the lounge seemed to have a very harmonious atmosphere.
Lady Dana not only brought Cecil here, but also brought gifts for the little fat boy, a complete set of gold jewelry. It can be said that there is probably only one male child in the entire empire who can receive so many gifts and blessings when he is born.
Even within the royal family, breeding a male child was not given such importance, and there would not even be a special announcement to inform the public that the royal family had added a new member.
But Duke Lu Xia attached great importance to this male child, so no one dared to ignore him.
The little fat boy was really well-behaved. He never cried no matter who held him. He blinked his big eyes at people, as if he could understand what they were saying.
Lady Dana was also very cute, and couldn't help but hold the little fat boy in her arms and tease him. She had many children in her family, and some males and females had their own children, but none of them was so lovable. When those children saw her, they were either afraid or cried, which was very annoying.
This little fat boy didn't cry or make a fuss in his arms, and laughed when he was teased. He was cute, fragrant and soft. If he was so cute and obedient, it didn't matter if he was a male child.
She couldn't help but feel a little bit of expectation in her heart, whether Cecil could have such an opportunity.
This is also the reason why Cecil was brought here directly this time. She had naturally heard about the good news that Duke Luxia had received one after another. Whether it was Grace becoming a gene fusion or breeding a male child with a "defective" husband, it was something that no one dared to think about.
If a person's good luck is a coincidence once, then what about twice or three times?
Even if Lady Dana did not believe in fate, she had to believe it once after hearing the news from Duke Luxia's mansion one after another.
What's more, they still had such an opportunity.
So she brought Cecil here without informing Duke Luxia in advance. She believed that Duke Luxia was smart and would naturally know her intentions.
Mrs. Dana had basically achieved the purpose of coming here, and she did not stay long. Everyone watched her leave. Prince Li Mang suddenly grabbed Lu Xia's hand: "Walk with me, let's talk."
Lu Xia understood that Prince Li Mang might have something he wanted to say to her alone, and nodded with a smile: "Let's go to the terrace and eat something." Prince
Li Mang followed her to the terrace, glanced at the scenery outside, and asked: "Xia Xia, do you have any ideas about the choice of the head wife?"
Lu Xia was slightly startled by the sudden mention of this question: "I haven't thought about it that much."
In fact, she didn't care at all. Whether it was the head husband or the concubine husband, for her, she would treat everyone in the family fairly.
"I know you don't look down on anyone because of their status, but just because you don't care doesn't mean that others don't care. Duke Leslie, Lady Rafaeld, and even Lady Dana, they are all closely related to you now, and I heard that you have two husbands and servants. What are their identities? In the past, they were all defective males and had no chance to climb other positions around you. Now Grace is a gene fusionist, and I heard that the degree of fusion is not low. With the Duke Leslie's Mansion as the background, I think you have a good relationship with him, and now you have a child. If you don't want to find an extra househusband, he is the most suitable one now."
At this point, Prince Li Mang paused and continued, "I said this not to be a lobbyist for the Duke Leslie's Mansion, but when there are more people in the family, there will always be various things. If you don't want to take care of it yourself, having a househusband can save you a lot of trouble, and the sooner you decide, the less others can say."
Lu Xia understood what Prince Li Mang meant by these words. Prince Li Mang was just kindly reminding her.
Perhaps this is the experience of a veteran.
Grace, Smellian and Cecil are already in the family now, and there are two more waiting to join.
As they appear one after another and get along day and night, if they all have feelings for each other in the future, how should she choose when her family background is not bad? Besides, as her reputation grows, more people will be eyeing her position as the main husband and concubine. Will the family continue to add people at that time? She doesn't want to do that at all!
This is indeed something she has never thought about, and her positions as the main husband and concubine cannot be vacant forever.
"Thank you, I understand. Grace is indeed qualified to be my main husband now."
Prince Li Mang saw that she had taken his words to heart and smiled and said, "You are a smart person."
That is why Prince Li Mang said these things, because smart people understand what she is talking about.
This full moon banquet was very successful. When everyone left, they received a return gift from the Duke of Lu Xia's mansion, a complete set of beauty cream and hair growth liquid.
It can be said that the guests who came to attend the full moon banquet also returned with a full load.
After seeing off these guests one after another, the originally lively banquet hall returned to calm, and the waiters came out to clean up the scene.
Lu Xia said to the old housekeeper: "Purchase a room for Cecil."
Then she looked at the young man standing aside, lowering his eyes and not willing to look at her: "Cecil, if you need anything, just tell the housekeeper. I won't restrict you from going out and your freedom. Just treat this place as a place to stay. I won't say much to your mother. Let's be well."
It's not that she can't see Cecil's attitude. It's precisely because she can see it that she has to make it clear.
Cecil didn't expect her to be so straightforward, even a little straightforward and unrealistic, which made him, who was originally impatient, look unnatural for a moment.
But before he could respond, Lu Xia had already gone upstairs with Grace holding the little fat boy.
Only Smellian and him were left standing here.
He subconsciously looked at Smellian, wanting to verify that what he just heard was not his hallucination, but Smellian chuckled, turned around and walked away, leaving him with a cold back.
Cecil raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but wonder, is this the way Duke Lu Xia wins people's hearts?
He had to admit that it was indeed a little unexpected, but he would never be fooled.
Didn't they say that they would not restrict his freedom?
Thinking of this, Cecil turned around and walked out. He wanted to try whether it was true or not.
