Wen Xinya saw from afar that something was wrong with Aurora, so there was no point in her going to her house to cook for her. So she went to the dressing room at the horse farm to change out of the dress she was wearing, and then prepared to go to the bathroom to touch up her makeup.
There is only one open restroom at the horse farm, on the second floor.
Wen Xinya went up the stairs to the second floor and heard the voices of several young ladies from small noble families talking together.
Wen Xinya couldn't help but laugh secretly. No matter what their background or birth, women all liked to gossip and chat while putting on makeup in the bathroom. Especially at banquets like this, women who were previously bound by various etiquette, once they entered the bathroom, it was as if they had entered their own private world and were completely free of all restraints.
Several women talked about how boring the party was, which gentleman was handsome, had a good figure, and had good abilities at the party, and finally they focused on Rex, the youngest and most powerful person at the party.
"That Rex always wears a mask when he attends every banquet. I really want to see what he looks like. Is he very handsome?"
"I think he must be very ugly, so he doesn't dare to show his true face!"
"However, this Rex is so young, yet he is already in a high position, rich and powerful. Even if he is ugly, I still like him."
"Pfft, if you like it, he has to like it."
"This Rex has never been interested in women. There were rumors in the circle before that he was a gay. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, there would be a lucky person who successfully climbed into his bed."
Wen Xinya couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
"However, the woman he brought here is quite amazing. No wonder she caught Rex's eye and successfully climbed into Rex's bed!"
"Even Aurora is no match for her, how can she not be powerful! Fortunately, I had foresight and saw the move to deal with Anatoly, so I was cautious and did not get involved in the war between her and Aurora."
"Aurora has always been successful in the aristocratic circle. She has never been so embarrassed before. She took the initiative to provoke others, but ended up shooting herself in the foot. She lost the competition and fell off her horse. There is no one in our aristocratic circle who is as embarrassed as her. I estimate that this matter will be known to everyone before the banquet is over. Just wait and see. It won't take long, and she will fall miserably!"
"This is the lightest punishment. I think Aurora is in real trouble this time. I don't know how she used sweet words to persuade the Grand Duke to agree to use the exemption and preferential treatment documents issued by the Duke's Mansion as a bet for her. But she lost the exemption and preferential treatment documents issued by the Grand Duke's Mansion. How could the Grand Duke let her off easily? Although the Grand Duke dotes on her in the past, he never dotes on her to the point of disregarding the reputation of his own family."
"That's right! I think she's going to have to pay the price this time."
"As for us, we should just be our own little nobles and avoid getting involved with the great nobles like Aurora. It would be fine if nothing goes wrong. But if something goes wrong, we might all be implicated. Didn't you see what happened to Anna? The legs of those great nobles are not so easy to hug."
Wen Xinya had never expected that Aurora was so unpopular in the aristocratic circle. As soon as the incident happened, the noble ladies gathered together to talk about her behind her back, and their tone could hardly hide the gloating.
However, all this has nothing to do with her.
She also had to care about Aurora's health, and of course... she also had to find out what Grand Duke Moville's plan was in giving her the painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains".
After they left, Wen Xinya went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup before going to the horse farm.
At this time, Aurora had a gloomy face, and there were only a few young ladies around her. The woman named Anna had already been pulled away.
Wen Xinya pretended to be concerned and asked, "Ms. Aurora, I heard that you fell off a horse? I'm so sorry, I just went to the dressing room to change clothes and went to the bathroom to touch up my makeup, so I didn't know about it and couldn't rush over to greet you in the first place. I wonder if you are hurt?"
She was still wearing her original dress and her makeup was still fresh, and anyone with eyes could see that what she said was true.
Aurora looked at her, her angelic face was a little sinister: "Thanks to Miss Tobella, although I fell off the horse, I didn't suffer any serious injuries, just a little frightened."
This damn bitch actually dared to appear in front of her.
She had learned from Anna that she had taken the bet, so she asked the maid to look for her. However, she couldn't find her in the entire stable. She was anxious. The stable was located in the most remote place in the mansion. The young ladies who were invited were all people with whom she had a good relationship. There were not many guards here, so the fall from the horse had not been exposed yet. She had to get the documents back before the matter became public, otherwise, she would not be able to explain to her grandfather.
Wen Xinya showed a thankful expression and patted her chest gently: "Thank God, Miss Aurora is okay, then I can feel more at ease."
Aurora stared at Wen Xinya closely, her gray eyes filled with a dark and cold expression: "I heard that Miss Bella has taken the stakes we deposited with Anna?"
Wen Xinya laughed: "I was lucky enough to win Miss Aurora and got the bet for the game. Miss Aurora accepted the offer."
She knew that the first thing Aurora would do after she reacted was to get the bet that Anna had placed with her, so she used extraordinary means to get the bet as soon as she won the game.
Aurora's face twisted, and under the bright lights of the night, she showed a frightening sharpness: "Miss Bella, isn't this behavior a bit against the rules? The game is between the two of us, and Anna is the middleman, who is there to witness our win or loss. If either of us wins the game, we should personally deliver the things to the other party. You take things without asking, how is that different from stealing?"
Wen Xinya smiled but said nothing.
Aurora's expression became stern and colder: "Ms. Bella, you probably don't know that theft is a serious crime in Country E, especially stealing from nobles. In serious cases, the person will be fined a large amount of money and sentenced to more than ten years in prison."
Wen Xinya said calmly, "Ms. Aurora, I am not afraid of being scared. I won the game against you, and everyone has seen it. There was no agreement that the winner and loser would personally deliver the items to the other party. I just took what I deserved, so how can it be considered theft? It's easy to find a pretext to accuse me of something, and I am not someone who can be manipulated by others!"
It was really unrealistic for Aurora to control her like this. I don't know if she was so angry that she forgot her identity. However... Miss Aurora, who thought highly of herself, never took her seriously, even though she was carrying Lucifer's mistress token.
