The smile on the man's face was just right, his white and clean shirt made him noble and elegant, his dark blue eyes were calm and gentle, and he looked extremely harmless.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes last night, she would never have connected the person in front of her with the ferocious vampire.
Xihe lowered his head slightly: "Mr. Ireland, good morning."
Now she had to think about how to stabilize this vampire, whom she knew nothing about.
In the gorgeous hall, the old butler directed the servants to bring the dishes to the table. Ham, bread, and cheese were all very rich, and bright roses were placed in antique bottles.
Xihe sat in the front seat and enjoyed the delicious food. On one side were Ailande and on the other side were other members of the Simon family.
The dining table that accommodated more than 20 people was almost full. Uncle Suzani and his wife, who were kicked out by the original owner, gave birth to three children. Uncle Temple also had four children, and these children gave birth to little ghosts... some little ones. The kid was naughty and wanted to cry, but his father glared at him, so he could only eat silently with his mouth closed and tears in his eyes.
After breakfast, Xihe sat in the garden and drank milk tea elegantly.
In fact, it is a kind of tea and milk brewed from the East. The taste is average, but it is very trendy in this era and only noble families can afford it.
"Miss Frigga." The old housekeeper hurried over.
Xihe put down the cup with doubt in his eyes. The old housekeeper wiped his sweat and gasped: "Mrs. Lisa would like to ask you to take in her and her children."
Xihe blinked, and the old housekeeper quickly explained the whole story. It turned out that Mrs. Lisa married a small manor owner not long after she was kicked out, but that guy was an alcoholic bastard and often beat her.
Mrs. Lisa didn't want her brothers to worry, so she never said anything. She even had a very difficult life with her two children.
Until recently, the bastard went too far and broke the child's head while drunk, causing blood to flow. She also heard that Xihe had taken her brothers back, so Xin Yiheng brought the child to seek her blessing.
After hearing this, Xihe said directly: "Let them come in."
The old housekeeper nodded hurriedly, ordered his servant to pick him up, and reported the recent income and expenditure to Xihe.
One by one, they listed their recent expenditures in great detail, including fields, food, drink, and seeds. It all meant the same thing: their finances had fallen into a 'red' state and they were unable to make ends meet.
Xihe blinked after hearing this: "How long can I last?"
The old butler bent over and said, "A month and a half at most, if no adjustments are made to the food."
Xihe: "..."
Does this mean there is strength in numbers? She was overwhelmed.
The old housekeeper looked at her carefully and suggested tactfully: "You have been very kind by bringing Messrs. Suzani and Temple back and taking care of their children. If you simply adjust the recipes, they will not resent you for this."
"Of course, if they resent you, it's not worth your hard work."
As a loyal butler who has personally watched his little master grow up, Brando will only consider the interests of his little master when interests conflict.
Xihe's eyebrows were twisted into caterpillars, but she didn't answer. Instead, she asked what the Simon family were doing now.
Old housekeeper: "...They help in the vineyard."
After breakfast, the Simon family members went to work in the fields with a tacit understanding.
They also know that they will be looked upon by others for bringing up a family, and they are afraid of being kicked out again, so they work very hard.
Xihe's frown slowly relaxed: "Brando, I will find a way to solve the money matter. Everything in the manor will remain as usual. Little Ryan and the others are still growing and must ensure adequate nutrition."
The old housekeeper was a little worried, but he still chose to obey his master's instructions and respectfully retreat.
But how to get some money quickly? Xihe doesn't have a good solution for the time being. She walked around the manor under a big black umbrella, picked a tulip and held it in her hand.
The sun is gentle, but maybe due to lack of strength, she cannot stand in the sun for a long time.
Although everyone in the manor found it strange that he had to carry a big black umbrella with him every time he went out, it was not surprising that most noble ladies also held umbrellas when they went out.
At most, their lords have different preferences. They don't like lace and prefer bare black umbrellas.
Half of the land outside the manor was planted with grapevines and half with soybeans. Xihe passed by the greenhouse and saw Ailand playing with bottles and jars inside. He didn't know what he was busy with?
After wandering around for a while, Xihe returned to the bedroom.
She scanned the entire room. There were expensive paintings hanging on the walls, exquisite porcelain on the table, and antique vases on the cabinets, each of which was worth a lot of money...
On the same day, Xihe asked his servant to deliver a letter to the Duke's Mansion.
After sending the letter, she lay on the bed and ate fruit leisurely, not caring how angry Lester was when he saw the letter.
Within two days, Xihe saw a large wooden box in the bedroom. She opened it and filled it with gold coins. The gold almost blinded her.
Xihe was so happy that he called the housekeeper over and asked him to put it in the warehouse.
The old housekeeper looked at the box of gold coins and was so shocked that he almost couldn't help asking the young master, did you go to rob? Fortunately, he still remembered his identity.
After solving a serious problem, Xihe completely relaxed.
But the next day, she was in chaos again.
"Where did this come from?"
She pointed to the wooden box filled with gold coins.
The old housekeeper was even more confused than she was: "The Duke of Leicester sent someone to deliver it, and said that he liked the antique you gave him very much."
He was trembling and at a loss, thinking that he had done something wrong, and asked Xihe if he wanted to send the things back? Xihe refused.
"Since it was sent by the Duke of Leicester, then send it to the warehouse." But, "What happened to the gold coins yesterday?"
Old housekeeper: ...with a confused face.
"Didn't you ask me to put it in the warehouse?"
Xihe understood, but the housekeeper didn’t know either.
She rubbed her brows and asked the housekeeper to ask the servants to see if anyone knew. Nothing came of it.
Suddenly, Xihe thought of someone, but she was not sure.
"It's okay, you go down first."
The old housekeeper stopped talking and went silently.
Xihe looked at the darkening sky outside the window, stood up, and went to the flower room with his skirt in hand.
Everyone in the manor was in the room at this time, and the street lights were dim in the night. She walked to the flower room and knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside to invite people in.
She opened the door and went in. Ireland was sitting at a table, fiddling with something seriously.
There were bottles, jars and glassware of various colors on the table. As soon as she got closer, the rich fragrance of roses hit her nostrils. She raised her eyebrows in surprise: "You know how to make perfume?"
Grande carefully dropped a drop of rose oil into the glass bottle and handed it to her: "Try it."
Xihe picked it up, smelled it, and poured a drop on the back of her hand. Ailande gently pushed it away for her, and her white and tender hands instantly became more delicate and smooth.
"Did you put the box of gold coins in my room?"
"Um."
The man lowered his eyebrows. From her perspective, she could only see his long and curled eyelashes, high bridge of nose, and broad shoulders... The strength of his hands was very gentle.
Xihe's heart trembled and he bit his lip: "Gouzi, this guy committed a foul!"
First he was given a life-saving grace, and now he secretly gave her money without telling her. How could she withstand this?
Xihe coughed lightly: "Mr. Ireland, thank you very much. But I have already received the money, so you don't have to do these things anymore."
She withdrew her hand, but held it tightly.
Ireland raised her eyes and looked at her dangerously: "You don't want mine, but Lester's?"
Xihe's eyes wandered: "Mr. Ireland, this is different. Lester plotted against me, causing me to almost die at the hands of that vampire. He should help me."
"Besides, I only borrowed his money temporarily. I will pay it back to him when the vineyard makes profits."
Lester dared to harm her like that, and she hadn't asked him for trouble yet. What happened to him doing a favor? If it doesn't cost him his life, he can just have some fun.
"I don't allow it!"
Grande took hold of her wrist. Her gentle brows suddenly became full of evil: "Frigga, don't forget your identity, you are my servant! You should listen to me."
Xihe: ...That touch of emotion was shattered instantly.
She was so angry, he really knew how to say, return the servant! Did she do it voluntarily?
Shaking his hand away, Xihe's face turned cold: "Mr. Ireland, first of all, I want to remind you that it is not my wish to become your vampire. I just want to be a normal human being. do you understand?"
She was so strong that Grande's hand hit the table, and the perfume rolled and fell to the ground, shattering.
The rich and ambiguous smell of roses spread in the flower room, but the tension between the two of them was tense. Ailande looked at the woman who stared at him without giving up, feeling novel and angry.
How dare she get angry with him? She is so capable!
Ireland said with a stern face: "Frigga, don't try to challenge me. You can't afford the consequences of my anger."
Xihe secretly rolled his eyes, what? Could he still kill her?
Not only was she not afraid, she was even eager to try: "What? Do you want to kill me? Okay, you go ahead and take back the life you saved."
Stretching her white and tender neck, she reached under his eyes.
Gouzi was shocked: "Are you crazy?"
You even provoke others, don't you want to live anymore?
Xihe paused, raised his hand and locked the dog in the small dark room: "You know Mao." He stretched his neck even longer.
Come on, come on, I'm afraid of you!
Ailande said softly, and grabbed Xihe's neck. His sharp teeth pierced her delicate neck, and the sweet blood entered his body along the throat.
Xihe:! ! !
Staring with eyes in disbelief.
He, he, he actually dared to attack her! This bastard!
After a moment of tingling sensation, a fine numbing feeling spread from the neck to the tailbone. Xihe's body softened, and Ailande pinched her waist and kept sucking blood.
Xihe gradually felt dizzy and her head began to spin. She refused: "You bastard!"
Ailand paused, let go of his mouth, and pinched her face with his hands: "Do you know who your master is now?" His eyes were heavy.
Xihe weakly opened his eyes, his whole body was fragile and weak, and his purple eyes were filled with tears.
She bit her lip and stared at him hatefully. In the blink of an eye, tears fell from her eyes and fell on his hand. Edland's eyes panicked.
Xihe scolded: "Master, you are so big, hurry up and let me suck you back!"
She struggled to pull his collar, pulled him in front of him, bit his mouth, and sucked hard.
The powerful liquid that was more delicious than any food in the world entered her mouth, and the power in Xihe's body returned little by little. She sucked it greedily and bit his mouth to bits.
Ireland's eyes were blank, and she sat stiffly, her mind empty.
Xihe snorted softly, put her hands around his neck, and turned from nibbling to gentle nibbling with evil intentions. What a bastard, he still wants to be her master! I'm afraid I'm not thinking about shit!
Ailand finally came to his senses. He narrowed his eyes and grabbed the back of Xihe's neck.
Xihe: Huh? ? ?
She stared at him blankly, what does this guy want to do?
Ailande had turned into a vampire at this time, full of evil spirits and extremely dangerous. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "You are so brave, how dare you seduce the master!"
Xihe: ...Destroy it, I’m tired of it.
Her face turned red with anger, she pushed him away, turned around and left. You can play by yourself for the rest of your life!
Ailande suddenly became angry again. This woman wanted to leave after teasing him? He grabbed her arm and said, "Stop..." Xihe slapped her back.
Pa, slapped on her arm, her hands were numb from the slap.
Xihe was furious: "Why are your arms so stiff!"
Ailand felt a little dizzy. Is there something wrong with this woman? He can't keep up with the train of thought.
Xihe was furious and stared at him: "I don't like to hear about being a master and not being a master. If you dare to say anything again, I will ignore you! Ask the housekeeper to drive you out of the manor!"
Ai Lande said, "How dare the housekeeper drive him away?"
Xihe understood what he meant: "If you don't leave, I will leave. I don't want everything in this manor."
It is one thing that she is willing to play such ambiguous tricks with him, but she doesn't like to hear him say such things. If he dares to say it again, she will ignore him!
Ireland looked at her silently.
Xihe turned around and left, but was grabbed by someone again. She frowned: "Are you..."
Ailand frowned: "So, do you want to give the money back?"
Xihe was shocked. Is this guy stupid? I still remember what I said before.
Ailand opened her mouth, not wanting to say anything, but she held back. He held her wrist tightly: "I don't allow you to ask for other people's money, I can support you!"
Even if she doesn't admit it, she still belongs to him.
He loves Rand and wants others to raise a woman for him. If word spreads, what will others think of him?
"Everything else is easy to talk about, but I never agree with this!"
Xihe: "..."
She was powerless and waved her hand: "Okay, okay, I'll quit tomorrow." She was so annoyed.
Ireland then smiled and touched her head: "This is a good girl."
Slapping his hand away, Xihe rolled his eyes, damn good girl! Suddenly her body felt light and she was picked up.
Xihe was frightened and subconsciously hugged him tightly: "What are you doing?"
Ailand quickly put out the lights in the greenhouse, walked through the garden, jumped directly into the window, and left Xihe still on the bed. Xihe was knocked unconscious and got up and stared at him: "Are you crazy?"
Ireland stood with his back to her: "Frigga, there will be no results for us. Please don't do this again in the future."
Xihe:? ? ?
But the person has left.
