As soon as Na approached the dining table, she raised a bright smile and said hello to the Yilong family. Hello, the weather is really nice today! "
Elon smiled and replied "Good morning", and Bevan also said: "Do you have any travel plans today? I'm on vacation. If you need a guide, just tell me." Mingna agreed sweetly.
A trace of confusion flashed in Lilith's eyes, and she pretended to cut the bacon on the plate casually while asking: "I sent a new maid over yesterday, how was the service? If you are not satisfied, I will take care of you." You punished her."
Ming Na took a deep breath and said with a smile: "She is very good. Thank you, aunt. Let her stay."
"Oh? Are you sure?" Lilith raised her eyebrows, "Because she is a lot older and clumsy at things. I originally planned to ask her to study with Melissa. But maybe you haven't seen anything really good. Only a sexy maid would think this kind of crappy thing is sexy, okay?"
Ming Na's eyes narrowed, and the smile on her face disappeared. Bevin whispered "Mother", but Lilith took a small bite of the meat slices nonchalantly and dabbed her mouth with a napkin pretending to be elegant.
Yilong's face darkened, and he sternly scolded his wife: "As an elder, how can you say such things to your niece?! Mingna came to our house alone. You are the hostess, so you should send a few How can you just find someone when you have a capable person serving in the past?!"
Mingna suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle, my nanny just arrived today. She alone can equal the ten maids here. But the Ms. Jones that aunt sent to me last night is also mine." Relative, I’m actually glad to see her.”
Elon's eyes narrowed: "Jones?!" He glanced at his wife quickly, and Lilith raised her chin arrogantly: "What's wrong? They were originally servants of our family, and they only paid wages and did not work all day long. What are you talking about?! I just asked a few idle people from his family to do some chores. As the hostess, can't I arrange work for them? "
Yilong said angrily: "Nonsense! Mag is the manager of the trading company under my name! He earns tens of thousands of gold coins for me every year! You actually ask his family to do odd jobs?!" The former manager of the trading company is still watching with eager eyes. In order to retain talents, in addition to generous bonuses, a few days ago he promised to send the Zhongsi children to Shaonan to go to school in autumn. He also promised to give them some shares at the end of the year. I hope his wife's recklessness will not destroy his career. Business.
Lilith looked at her husband in shock. Hands covering chest. He said angrily: "You actually yelled at your wife in front of the children for an illegitimate daughter and a few slaves?! Where is your aristocratic demeanor?!"
"My aristocratic demeanor is not used to condone my wife and insult my niece!" Yilong threw the napkin. He turned to order the butler. "Ask someone to prepare a carriage. Send the Jones family back! Explain to them that this will never happen again!" After that, he said to Ming Na apologetically: "I will not be at home all day. Let you I'm wronged. Please forgive me, uncle. Your aunt... just thinks she is nobler than others. So she takes arrogance as a habit. She doesn't know how ridiculous her behavior is."
Lilith gasped a few times. She looked at her husband with wide eyes and disbelief: "How dare you..."
"Why don't I dare?" Elon smiled sarcastically. "You think your natal family is nobler than mine, so you can ignore my dignity and wantonly insult my family? Madam, please don't forget. You are now sitting in the Xiao... Ka family's house!"
"Yilong Xiao...Cado!" Lilith stood up suddenly. "Don't forget. If it weren't for the help of our Chulov family, with your unknown father, you wouldn't be where you are today! How dare you be rude to me?!"
"What did you say?!" Elon slapped the table vigorously. "My father is a war hero. My mother comes from a well-known family! I earned my status today by working hard on the battlefield! Your family would have been different. If I hadn't recommended it. Can a nephew get an official position?! You put on airs in front of me every day. How do you look like a competent wife?!"
Lilith was shaking with anger: "You ungrateful bastard! You will have your retribution!"
"It turns out that the mother's family who supports the wife is also called ungrateful." Yilong sneered and leaned back in the chair, "Then I'd better stop meddling in other people's business. I happen to have your nephew's resume in my hand, so I'd better go back."
Lilith turned around and left angrily. Bevin sighed, whispered: "I'm going back to the Knights' Office." and left the table. Beryl glared at Minna sharply, and then said to Elon seriously: "Father, what you just said went too far! That is our mother, your wife, mobile phone easily: .Cｎorganized, shouldn't you give Does she respect you?"
Yilong sneered: "Listen to what she said, how can she respect me? I have been angry with her for more than 20 years. I originally thought that the child is so old that there is no need to care about her, but she doesn't care about me at all. She doesn’t even hold back. As long as something doesn’t suit her liking, she dares to openly embarrass me! How do you ask me to respect her?!”
"But we are a family!" Beryl raised her voice, "How can you blame her for outsiders?!"
"Sister!" Manda interrupted, "Mingna is not an outsider, she is also a member of our family. If mother did not humiliate Mingna, father would not be angry. You should not blame father."
"Shut up!" Beryl glanced at her sister, "This is the house of the Card family, and only those who have the blood of the Card family in their bodies are members of our family! She instigated a quarrel between her father and her mother, How can you speak for her?!"
When Yilong heard this, he immediately darkened his face: "What do you mean by the Cardo family's house? This is my house!" His eldest daughter's words struck a chord in his heart. He remembered that the Cardo family members were dissatisfied with the fact that they owned this family property. He got angry because of their gossip, and suddenly said indiscriminately: "Your mother does not have the blood of the Ka family, and she is not a member of this family! Let her go back to the Chulov family's house and run wild!"
Beryl had a cold expression, stood up and left with her head held high, without saying a word. Manda took two sips of the soup and felt she had lost her appetite, so she made an excuse and left.
Elon gradually calmed down and felt that what he just said was too much, and he couldn't help but regret it.
Ming Na had already filled her stomach and looked at the quarrel coldly, feeling a little ironic in her heart. When outsiders look at this family, they will think that the male owner has a prominent family background, the female owner has a noble status, the son is excellent, the daughter is beautiful, and the family is rich. It is perfect. But why does she feel that although her family is more ordinary, they are happier
However, it was somewhat beyond her expectation that Uncle Elon would defend her in this way. Seeing his annoyed look, Ming Na softened a little and said, "Uncle, actually I'm not very angry. You don't have to take this matter to your heart."
"What are you talking about!" Yilong frowned, "You are my biological niece, and it is rare for you to come to my house once. If you are bullied, I still have the shame to do it."
Father? "
Ming Na shrank her neck, rolled her eyes, and said: "But... I don't want you to quarrel with your family because of me. Well... just... let me buy a house and move out? Then my aunt will not be dissatisfied." She doesn't need to be angry with Lilith either.
"How is this possible!" Elon categorically rejected, "What a joke! I am the head of the family, and I can let whoever I want live here! No one can control it!"
"But... it would be bad if you and your aunt had a falling out because of this little thing, right? Even if you don't care about the relationship between husband and wife for so many years, you still have to think about Bevin and the others?"
"This..." Elon hesitated. Although the wife's family is not as powerful as before, it still has a lot of influence in front of the king. He had just said something unpleasant in a moment of anger, but in the end he still wanted to coax her back. Based on his understanding of his wife, he will definitely put forward conditions when the time comes. If his wife's request is not good for his niece, it would be really difficult for him to handle it.
Ming Na saw that he was shaken, so she hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Just because I moved out does not mean that I will cut off contact with you. Just like other families, there will be direct and branch lines, and they may not live together. My father has a title and a territory. , it is normal to own real estate in the capital. After buying a house, it will be more convenient for him to come to report on his work, and you can also come to our new home as a guest."
Elon was a little moved: "Do you have enough money? How big a house can you buy?"
"It's not clear yet, but ordinary houses are still affordable. My mother was worried that I would suffer hardship in Ito, so she specially asked me to bring a lot of money."
"Really?" Elon was silent for a while, then sighed, "It's all because of my uncle's uselessness that you had to leave. If you need any help from your uncle, just ask! Do you want to help you find a house?"
"No, no, no." Ming Na smiled and waved her hands, "I have already thought about what kind of house I want to buy. My uncle is so busy at work, how can I trouble you? But..." she begged sincerely, "There is one thing If I really need your help, you must agree!"
Elon smiled. "What's the matter? Tell me, I will definitely help."
"That's great!" Ming Na happily came to his side, "Actually, it's a small matter. The Jones family are relatives of our family. If we continue to stay here, my father and I will be very uneasy, and my aunt seems to be dissatisfied with them." Very dissatisfied. So, can you please terminate their contract? You can continue to hire Uncle Mag and the others to manage the business for you, but for the others, can you let them go to my new house? I am alone, plus You can't take care of a house even if you go to Winnie?"
Yilong was stunned, with some reluctance in his heart: "This... I'm afraid it's not good, right?" What if someone leaves
"Actually, it's the same as now. It's just that it was transferred from your home to mine. But..." Ming Na scratched her head, "They seem to be servants of the Card family. Is it difficult for you to terminate the contract?"
"Difficulties? How can there be difficulties?!" Elon immediately grimaced, "It's nothing! Just do it like this! I'll ask Mag to handle the contract in two days!" After thinking about it, he gave Mag Jones's conditions are so generous that it is impossible for the other party to betray him. The Anlong family is at odds with the former managers of the trading house and will not side with them. He can still save some money by canceling the servant contracts of other idlers. !
Ming Na was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly. Yilong said generously that it was nothing, but she didn't know that her niece was already extremely happy.
Mingna took action immediately. She first found Alex and took him with her to find a house. When Alex heard that she was going to buy a house, he raised his eyebrows and temporarily put down the house he had originally inspected until Mingna made her choice.
What Ming Na wants is a house that is neither big nor small, has a garden and a stable, is convenient for traveling but has a quiet environment. There were not many vacant houses like this in Ito City, and even fewer with suitable prices. Therefore, after searching for several days, she could only find two that were not satisfactory.
When Anlong and Dora learned that she was going to buy a house, they received a letter from Mayton, saying that they would pay for the house and decoration costs, and they regarded it as a supplementary gift to their only daughter's eighteenth birthday. As soon as Ming Na saw the letter, she jumped with joy. She was originally worried that her parents would blame her for spending money indiscriminately, but now she no longer has any worries.
After searching for several days, I finally received news from a real estate agent that there was a house for sale in the Xicheng Riverside District. The house had 26 rooms, a stable, a cellar and a garden, and it also came with a small forest. Minna immediately wrote to Alex and asked him to see the house tomorrow.
After writing the letter, she walked downstairs and met Beryl walking towards her. The other party just nodded coldly and went straight to the garden. Ming Na curled her lips, wondering why she had been at home these days. Before, she wouldn't come back until dark.
After handing the letter to the housekeeper and asking him to send someone to deliver it, she caught a glimpse of Manda running out of the living room in tears and running straight upstairs. An unknown woman chased after her and yelled twice before returning. The living room, vaguely seemed to be apologizing to Lilith. Ming Na looked around suspiciously and found a maid coming out of the room, and walked away quickly.
She quietly asked Winnie and Marcy what was going on. The two looked at each other. Recently, all their thoughts were on the new house, and they didn't pay attention to the gossip about the Card family. In the end, Ma Ge, who came to handle the contract cancellation procedures, solved the mystery.
He said: "I heard that the eldest prince was seriously injured. His Majesty the King did not allow anyone to visit, not even Miss Beryl. What's even more strange is that the king actually asked the second prince to host the royal ceremony on May Day. This It has always been the job of the eldest prince! Now there is news in the aristocratic circle that the crown prince is about to change hands. The Earl is in a very embarrassing situation, so he has reduced his social interactions recently. He only has Lady Lilith, and he often invites friends to have afternoon tea. "
Ming Na was a little confused: "What does this have to do with uncle?"
Mag sighed: "There were rumors that the eldest prince was disabled and disfigured, and some members proposed to change the crown prince. At that time, Miss Beryl was very anxious and tried her best to persuade several families who had friendship with the Card family to continue to support the eldest prince. Now that the second prince's voice is getting louder and louder, those families are beginning to hesitate. The Earl originally did not help the two, but now he is marked as a supporter of the first prince, so he is in an embarrassing situation. Mrs. Lilith is worried about Miss Beryl What she did will affect Miss Manda's marriage, so she is not allowed to go out again. Recently, there are rumors that the queen was very dissatisfied with Miss Manda, and now she is opposed to her becoming the second prince's wife, and is planning to marry the second prince. I’m looking for another suitable marriage partner.”
Ming Na opened her mouth wide: "Didn't the second prince express any opinions?!"
Ma Ge suddenly became energetic: "Of course! What the second prince did shocked everyone!"
