Aurora looked at the disbelief in her eyes and couldn't help laughing: "What? You didn't expect it!"
Wen Xinya remained silent.
Grand Duke Moville wanted to marry Lucifer, so the intention of giving her "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" before could be explained.
First, he wanted to use this painting to test Si Yiyan's attitude. Si Yiyan was so smart that she would guess that Grand Duke Moville was willing to give her such a precious gift. Naturally, there must be some calculation in it. Moville took advantage of Aurora's impoliteness and gave her a gift to pick both her and Aurora out. It is estimated that Si Yiyan guessed Grand Duke Moville's intention on the spot, but did not say it out loud.
Secondly, it was also meant to test her depth. This is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. If someone has no background, he would probably be exposed on the spot. If someone is not very knowledgeable, he would be jealous of such a priceless treasure. Knowing yourself and knowing the enemy is the way to win a hundred battles, which is the usual method used by military strategists.
Thirdly, he also intended to warn her by using a painting to show the Moville family's attitude towards marriage, so that she would stand aside and give her something to think about.
Fourthly, it was also his intention to bribe her. The value of such a famous painting handed down from generation to generation was inestimable. With this painting, she could almost enjoy endless wealth and glory for the rest of her life.
These calculations have not yet become clear, and once Grand Duke Moville brings up the issue, these thoughts will be revealed.
Aurora looked at her and asked aggressively, "Who do you think Rex will choose between Lucifer's interests and yours? What do you think you can bring to Rex? Or should I say, what can you do for him?"
In her opinion, Bella was completely useless.
Wen Xinya's nails pierced the tender flesh on her palm, causing a dull pain. "You really underestimate Rex. You so-called blue-blooded nobles in Country E think highly of yourselves, but how could you know that Rex, as the most noble descendant of the Xuanyuan clan in ancient Country Z, is also arrogant?"
They think highly of themselves, so they can look down on everyone, even Si Yiyan, thinking that he will abandon everything for the sake of profit. However, Si Yiyan is as proud as anyone else. Compared with these so-called nobles who rely on the glory of their ancestors, Si Yiyan's pride is deep-rooted.
However, Aurora was right about one thing. Compared to Luo Qi Aurora, she really could not give Si Yiyan anything, and could not even help Si Yiyan at all, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Especially since this sentence was said by a love rival.
Aurora was not listening to her words and sneered: "Who do you think has the advantage between you and me? You who are good for nothing, or me who is the daughter of the oldest noble family in E country and is known as the most beautiful woman in E country? Whether it is family, beauty, or status, I beat you completely."
Although Miss Bella was wearing a mask and her appearance could not be seen, the beauty of women in Country E was famous all over the world. She was also the most beautiful woman in Country E, so she was absolutely confident in her appearance.
Wen Xinya frowned slightly and said nothing.
Aurora had a look of victory on her face: "Ms. Bella, I know you can't accept this fact, but you have to admit that you can't bring any benefits to Rex."
"But I'm different. I'm an old noble of Country E and the most beloved lady of the Duke of Moville's Mansion. The marriage between the Moville family and Rex can bring unexpected benefits to Rex, including those exemptions and preferential treatments, or even greater benefits than those. I also believe that Rex can make some choices."
She is confident enough that Rex will marry her.
Wen Xinya's heart was gripped tightly. She was not a person who liked to dwell on trivial matters. She would not really doubt Si Yiyan because of what Aurora said. However, the elegance displayed by Aurora when facing her made her mind very much. She talked about her family background without any concealment, and said without any concealment that her family background and identity, and the benefits that could be brought to Si Yiyan, all of which were things she could not give to Si Yiyan. Other women could give Si Yiyan, but she could not give him. This feeling was not pleasant.
Aurora smiled complacently: "Do you remember the "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" my grandfather gave you before? Throughout the ages, how many people in this world love beauty more than the country? It is common for men to sacrifice women for their own hegemony. I remember there was a man in the history of Country Z, the famous Emperor Minghuang of Tang, who claimed to love beauty more than the country, but for the sake of his own country, he finally allowed others to hang his beloved woman. As women, we should also think more about it for the sake of a man's thousands of miles of country." She changed the subject and looked at Bella steadily: "Miss Bella, do you think I'm right?"
"I didn't expect Miss Aurora to have studied the history of our country Z." Miss Aurora was indeed not simple. Every word she said was reasonable and to the point, which made people unable to refute. If the person sitting opposite her was not Wen Xinya, but another woman, she might have been able to break through her defense. But the person sitting opposite her was Wen Xinya. In her previous life and this life, had she not experienced enough? How could she be defeated by these few words
Aurora sneered, "Miss Bella, if you know what's best for you, take out the document. It's useless even if you give it to Rex. What does it matter if you give it to Rex? The Moville family can give Rex more than just what's on the document. If Rex wants, we can even get him the title of a great noble."
A foolish woman who thought she could get promoted with just a piece of paperwork would not be allowed to succeed.
Wen Xinya's emotions slowly calmed down, and her black and white eyes looked particularly bright and charming under the strong light of the night: "Miss Aurora, you are right, but so what, all this is based on the premise that Rex is willing to marry you." She changed the subject with a hint of sarcasm: "You are indeed the most favored lady in the Duke of Moville's Mansion, and you can indeed bring unexpected benefits to Rex, but... it will not be the case soon!"
Aurora's expression changed drastically: "You..."
Under the strong light, Aurora's grey eyes were like unfocused venomous snakes, sinister and vicious.
She held the juice in her hand. The night was slightly cool, and the cup felt a little cold. "You privately misappropriated the seal that represents power and status in the Duke's Mansion, gambled with the authority and honor of the Duke's Mansion, and lost the documents that the Duke's Mansion would not easily issue to others. I don't know if the Grand Duke can still tolerate you for such a crime."
It's just bluffing, what is she afraid of
