Fifty-eighth bowl of soup (4)

Lance was really angry and really weak. He could only cast his anger on Hirst: "Didn't I make you look at Miss Xue? That's how you look at her?"

Hirst quickly pleaded: "My lord, please forgive me." But he was crying secretly in his heart, what can he do? After all, he is just a housekeeper and not the Lord Duke himself. He used to watch Xuexue uncomfortably and could let people clean her up secretly, but now the other party makes him feel bad, he doesn't want to be a useless person. Scolding, now I can't bear any grievances at all. It is not good to say that Miss Xue is more like the owner of this ancient castle than Lord Duke!

"Trash!" Lance kicked Hirst and said angrily: "Don't call the doctor yet!"

"Yes!"

The doctor came soon and was shocked when he saw the injury on Lance’s arm: "Honorable Duke! Who has the courage to hurt you like this! I must report this matter to Her Majesty," Let Her Majesty be the master for you, and find the murderer and punish him severely!"

Hearst heard this and nodded sharply in his heart: Yes, yes, punished severely!

But what made him shocked was that the next second Lord Duke unexpectedly said: "You think too much, I accidentally injured it."

"I...careless?" The doctor was astonished. "But from this angle..." It's impossible to hurt yourself.

Lance thought he was very noisy, so he flew over and glanced at him: "Don't you understand? I said it. I was not careful."

"……Yes Yes."

"After going out, you know what to say and what not to say." Lance nodded when he saw the doctor. His expression was complicated. God knows why he wanted to cover up this matter for Xue and assassinate the nobles. This is a crime that requires the death penalty, but he But subconsciously concealed it for her, what is this? Why did he do this? So a woman who doesn't know how to promote her should really suffer a bit before she knows what fear is.

Thinking like this in my heart, Lance knew that it was useless for Xue. She was a guy who didn't eat hard and soft, doing whatever she wanted, and dealing with someone who was not afraid of death or life, what could he do? The most important thing is that Xue is very clear that he will not let her leave, even if it is full of deceit from beginning to end, but being together in those days is true, and the affection is true. It was just put on a fake shell, so everything became fake.

He didn't know what he was keeping Xue for. It stands to reason that without that face, she would have no value. If she was the past self, she would have been thrown out a long time ago, so why bother—Lance looked uncertain, he felt Something is gradually changing himself, maybe he never realized it, but has always existed.

The doctor ordered to change the dressing frequently. When Hirst was about to change the dressing for him, Lance kicked it out: "Go and find Miss Xue."

Hearst felt distressed when he heard it, but his qualities as a deacon made him still grimace. He went to Xue's room cautiously, knocked on the door twice, let him in before daring to open it.

Xue was sitting cross-legged on the bed, playing with a sharp dagger in his hand. Seeing Hirst walk in, he narrowed one eye and took aim. Hirst was so frightened that his heart nearly stopped, Xue stopped moving, and let out a sneer: "Coward." In this way, he dared to call himself noble.

Death doesn't care who is noble and who is humble.

Hirst's face was blue and white, but he still tried to maintain his dignity as a housekeeper. He bowed slightly and said to Xue: "Miss Xue, the Lord Duke calls you over."

"Don't go."

"Miss Xue——"

"I can't go, are you deaf?" Xue looked at him coldly, and with a flick of his hand, the dagger came through the air and plunged straight into the door frame beside Hirst's ear. Her eyes were cold, "If you don't roll, do you want to break your arm again?"

Hurst turned around in fright and ran, showing no grace at all.

When Lance learned about it, his face was blue with anger. He asked him to pick up the medicine box and walked towards the snowy room violently. She was still sitting on the bed, with a dozen of them in different colors and all workmanship. Exquisite hairpin. Like real Xue, they are people who like Eastern culture very much. They use hairpins instead of hairpins for their hair. Lance saw her look serious when he came in, but he stood for a while, he didn't take the initiative to speak, Xue also Do not speak actively. Finally, in order to find the topic, he asked: "What are you doing?"

"Look at which one can kill you directly and more powerfully and quickly." Xue answered simply, and raised his head and smiled at him. "So you won't bother me again."

"Do you think I'm bothering you?!" Lance repeated incredulously. "You stabbed your own man. If you don't know the wrong thing, you can do it again. Do you want to do it again?"

Hearing the words "your man", Xue looked at him with a smile: "My man doesn't want to strangle me."

The pajamas on her were loose, and Lance's fingerprints were still on it. As time passed, he felt a chill. He pursed his lips and said, "Why don't you let the doctor show you?"

"Why do you want him to watch? It won't die." Xue picked up a hairpin and gestured one by one at the joints of his arm. "That way I can remember clearly, you want to kill me for the tatters left by a dead person."

Lance said in a deep voice, "That's not a tattered thing."

"That's something unlucky." Xue laughed. "Dead people's things are cursed. I ruined it for you. You should thank me."

"I don't think you have any repentance at all!" Lance started shooting the case, but it made no sense when he became angry, because Xue was not afraid at all. She was more than not afraid, she simply didn't put him in her eyes, because she had grasped his temper, and after she was disfigured, he would never do anything to her again. In the end Lance could only use the most basic and stupid way to test her: "Three days later, I will be signaled by the queen to invite many noble ladies to the castle and hold a ball. It is very likely that I will choose my future wife from among them. , The future duchess."

He didn't know the meaning of this to Xuexue. In fact, from a rational point of view, he should be calmer and never let her know, because it was because of this that she made a tantrum with him. However, looking at such snow, Lance had no choice but to speak. As long as he can see a little bit of Xue's feelings for him, he will be happy.

Although it may not change the final result, he will definitely be different.

Xue fiddled with the hairpin, waiting for Lance to finish talking for half a minute before raising her head and asking him: "What did you just say?"

Hirst dared to swear that he had never seen Master Lance so angry in his life. Fearing to be the cannon fodder for Master Lance to vent his anger, he wittily lowered his head and did not dare to let go, for fear of being discovered and causing trouble. In his heart, he had a new understanding of Xue's level of fear of death. I guess it's impossible, this is simply a step to avoid.

Lance's fists squeaked, and finally he got up angrily. Hurst hurriedly came over and picked up the medicine box and chased it out. Dear Lord Duke, you still haven't changed the medicine!

As for the snow, she still plays with her hairpin.

To be honest, she actually doesn't like hairpins very much. Curled hair is indeed good-looking, but it's too impractical. If you move a little bit more, you will turn into a lunatic. Rubber bands are better. But for the noble Lord Lance, tying his hair with rubber bands is insulting his taste, although she did not see what his commendable taste is.

Lance's words counted, and the castle began to decorate the next day. I heard that this time the famous ladies all over the country will come to the dinner. It is not only the unmarried lady who has been coveting Lance for a long time, but also many married wives. Of course they don't imagine being able to marry Lance, they come only for pornography. Because of this noble ball, not only women, but also many outstanding men are here.

Everyone's marriage actually exists in name, and keeping a lover has become a tacit secret among the nobles, and if you can be the lover of the Duke of Reims, you are really lucky.

He is handsome and wealthy, young and strong, and trusted by the Queen. It can be said that he has a promising future. Who wouldn't want to have a relationship with him?

Compared to the excitement of everyone in the castle, the snow is much calmer. She is even indifferent. Lance does not like outsiders entering the castle, so there has not been a banquet in the castle for many years. He wanted to refuse, but when he thought of Xue's way of having nothing to do with him, he became angry and just did it, letting her know how popular and exciting he is.

He also did such a stupid behavior.

If it is the host, it will definitely be sad for this. Unfortunately, Xue is not. She is even too lazy to even the door of the room. For these three days, Lance seems to deliberately want her to know that he is angry. Without raising his eyelids, he thought this would make Xue sad, but he was disappointed.

There were many servants in the castle, and it was very noisy. Xue simply closed the door and stayed by herself. She didn't wear a mask when she was alone. She didn't care about the ruined appearance, but Lance cared very much, so she treated her. It is not clear whether to destroy the anger that resembles the real Xue, or to feel guilty for pushing her to this point.

Xue raised his head and looked out the window. There are always many people coming in and out these days. This ancient and lonely castle finally gained a trace of popularity and became lively. However, Xue felt that it was more suitable for a deserted place.
