Chapter 40: Dismissal.
Lu Xia was shocked by Grace's answer when she heard it suddenly.
If Grace hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about the four servants.
If this was true, then it was normal for the older white-haired man to become cold to her. After all,
she didn't even recognize her servant, and she even forgot his name. Now her identity as a scumbag has been completely confirmed. He
was obviously her servant, but he was brought to the auction house for no reason. I'm afraid no one would think that she sold him on purpose, right?
Lu Xia thought of all kinds of possibilities at once, and no matter which one, she felt that she couldn't clear herself.
"Do you need to go back and pick him up now?" Grace's voice appeared again, and she seemed to be generous enough to consider Lu Xia.
Lu Xia came back to her senses and thought about the feasibility of going back now. She probably would be ridiculed by the other party. Forget it. Since his family has come, there should be nothing wrong. Instead of going back now, it would be more direct to consider how to dismiss the relationship between husband and servant.
Thinking of this, Lu Xia looked at the man beside her: "No, let's go home. By the way, you know how to..."
At this point, Lu Xia's voice suddenly stopped. He suddenly remembered that if he asked Grace how to dissolve the husband-servant relationship, would the other party think too much?
In order not to cause trouble for himself, Lu Xia decided to go back and ask the old housekeeper. It would be safer.
Grace saw that she suddenly stopped the topic and couldn't help asking: "What?"
"Nothing, I just want to ask, you are not injured just now, right?" When the auction house shook, Lu Xia saw the rocks falling from above hitting Grace.
Grace didn't expect Lu Xia to notice this. His eyes softened instantly. He leaned in front of Lu Xia: "It hurts a little, Xia Xia, can you hug me?"
I don't know when he changed Lu Xia to Xia Xia without authorization. The moment the gentle overlapping sound came out of his mouth, Lu Xia's ears blushed.
Lu Xia reached out and held Grace's face: "Are you acting like a spoiled child?"
The man did not avoid Lu Xia's touch, but just gently held her wrist with one hand, as if he didn't want her to escape. His pair of black eyes looked at her with burning eyes: "If Xia Xia doesn't hate it, yes."
What do you mean if she doesn't hate it, yes? What if she hates it?
Thinking of this, Lu Xia asked: "What if I don't like it?"
Grace suddenly lowered her head and leaned against Lu Xia's shoulder. Her voice was a little low, as if she was restraining herself: "Then Xia Xia can punish me to do anything."
Lu Xia felt that this guy was getting better and better.
Why does she act like a spoiled child if she doesn't like it?
"Then punish you to cook me a bowl of noodles when you go back. I'm hungry." It was already late at night, and the little food for dinner had long been digested.
Grace smiled softly, "As you command, my lady mistress."
When they returned home, the old housekeeper had not rested until he saw them back, as if he was relieved, and came out to greet them and said, "Everything went well, madam?"
"It went well, take this in and put it away." Lu Xia pointed to the two password boxes in the car and ordered, "By the way, I have something to ask you, come with me to the study."
The old housekeeper followed as he said, and Grace went to the kitchen.
When they arrived at the study, Lu Xia signaled the old housekeeper to put the password box on the table, and then said, "Who is Smellian?"
Hearing this question suddenly, the old housekeeper was slightly startled, as if he was recalling something, and soon said, "At the beginning, one of your five husbands had this name, and he was a male son of the Raffield family."
It seems that Grace was not mistaken.
The hope in Lu Xia's heart was completely extinguished: "I met him at the auction today. I don't remember this person, but it doesn't matter. I also want to ask, how to dissolve the husband-servant relationship, what procedures are required?"
The old butler subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Lu Xia, as if to confirm whether Lu Xia said this from the heart.
Noticing his reaction, Lu Xia raised his eyebrows: "Why is it so difficult?"
"No, in fact, if the lady wants to dissolve the relationship with the husband-servant, she doesn't need to go through any procedures. As long as it is made public, she will have nothing to do with the other party in the future. It's just a husband-servant, there are not so many rules and responsibilities, but..." The old butler hesitated here, as if he thought of Lu Xia's attitude towards Grace, so he couldn't help but continue, "But if the husband-servant relationship is dissolved, the male who is dissolved will have a miserable fate. They are likely not to be accepted by the original family, and even the society will exclude them, and it will be difficult for them to develop again."
The old butler was very smart. He only talked about the fate of the husband-servant relationship being dissolved, but did not interfere with Lu Xia's decision.
How to decide, still needs Lu Xia to make the decision herself.
Lu Xia understood, it is very simple to terminate the husband-servant relationship, but the male who is terminated will have a miserable end, and may not even be accepted by the society.
She should have thought of the harshness of this world on males.
Thinking of the other party, he did not make any mistakes, but just because of her decision, the male's life, which was already difficult, became even more miserable, which is really unnecessary.
Then the question is, since the husband-servant relationship cannot be terminated, how should she deal with it.
People can no longer ignore it like before, otherwise her identity as a scumbag will really be confirmed.
"Tomorrow you go to visit the Raffield family to see how he is doing, and bring gifts. If he doesn't want to come back, he can continue to stay at home to recuperate. Anyway, everything is up to him."
Lu Xia felt that she could only do this for the time being.
The old butler knew when he heard it that their Duke Lu Xia was soft-hearted.
After this period of getting along, the old butler was not surprised at all, because during this period of time, Lu Xia had done too many unexpected things.
"I know. I'll be there tomorrow." As the old housekeeper's voice fell, there was a knock on the door, and then Grace pushed the door open, "You can go downstairs to eat."
When Lu Xia saw him, she remembered the "punishment" she mentioned on the way back. Unexpectedly, the other party didn't even change his clothes and prepared a midnight snack for her.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll be there right away." Lu Xia said this and walked towards the door. Obviously, she didn't want to disappoint the other party's kindness.
But when she walked to the door, she heard Grace suddenly ask, "Are you going to pick him up?"
Although he didn't say the name specifically, Lu Xia already knew that Grace should have heard her conversation with the old housekeeper just now.
Unexpectedly, Grace would ask her for confirmation.
"If he is willing to come back, I won't refuse. Today's incident is always my fault first."
If she didn't know that the other party was one of her husband's servants, the other party would not have fallen to the point of being trafficked.
