Become a wizard lord with a copy system
Chapter 151 Gossip
Since Lyra moved into the castle, she has been more free than before. At least she could help with cooking and washing clothes when she was in the slums. Now she doesn't have to do these things because the Baron has hired a group of servants in the town.
She really couldn't get used to living like this. She was idle all day, and she also lived in a better room than the Baron's aunt. Her insecurity was even higher.
So she went to cook and wash clothes with the servants again.
At first, the servants thought that the noble lady came to experience life with them, or to monitor whether they were serious and reliable in their work.
But when they saw how skilled Laila was at doing rough work, they couldn't help but be curious and chatted for a few more words. Only then did they realize that she had nothing to do with the Baron, was not a witch, and had no fighting skills. She was just a very ordinary woman. That’s all.
But how could an ordinary woman live in a big house? Laila should have lived with servants like them. Once she thought about it, jealousy began to attack, and they began to treat her badly. Get up, sarcastic.
However, in the face of these sarcastic words and their sidelong glances, Laila didn't care. She just worked seriously and just wanted peace of mind. She was afraid that the Baron would really get annoyed with her, at least she could still ask him. The Baron proved that he was of some use. Even if he had to drive her away, he just drove her from the big room to the servant's room in the hope that she could still be a servant.
So the days passed relatively peacefully, and Laila's mentality became relatively stable, until one day she overheard the group of servants secretly discussing at the well:
"Hey, do you think Laila is the maiden secretly invited by the Baron?"
"What you said makes sense. The Baron must have gotten tired of playing and now sent her to do rough work."
"I think it can't be Mei Niang. No matter how unfavored Mei Niang is, she can't do menial work. Judging from the way she works, she must be from a pariah who has been used to hard work since she was a child. She must be good-looking and is favored by the Baron. Used as a lover. However, I agree with one thing, she must be tired of being played by Lord Baron. Hahaha, nobles are like that."
When Laila heard this, she finally couldn't help it anymore and went up to slap the woman with the longest tongue.
"Hey, what are you doing? You're crazy."
"Why do you say that to me?" Laila pointed at her and cursed.
"Why? Just because you are a bitch. I also want to ask you, why did you hit me?" After saying that, the talkative woman was ready to slap Laila back.
Just as the woman was about to take action, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
"Ah... Lord Baron..."
When the servants saw it was the Baron, they were all frightened and backed away.
"Lord Baron, why are you here?" the long-tongued woman said, and couldn't help but pull her wrist, but the Lord Baron held her tightly, and Bingqian had a serious look on her face and did not look at her.
"Lord Baron, why are you here?" Laila asked, "I didn't mean it just now."
Laila's words awakened the long-tongued woman, and she quickly said: "Baron, Laila slapped me for no reason. Then she turned to look at the sisters behind her and winked.
The group of sisters quickly said: "Yes, yes, we were just here to fetch water, and then Laila came over in anger and beat people. We can all testify."
Laila blushed in anxiety: "You...you said bad things about me for no reason, and you also said bad things about the Baron."
Seeing that the momentum was with her, the long-tongued woman said quite proudly: "Humph, it's coming, it's coming, now the dog jumps over the wall and bites everyone. Lord Baron, she..."
"I heard it all." Daniel Hawkins said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, no one dared to speak, even the long-tongued woman panicked, but after all, she had many years of long-tongued experience in this area, and she could be considered to have served two lords.
So she quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Lord Baron, how could you have heard it? You obviously just arrived."
"So, you don't believe it, right?" Lord Baron said, "Do you still want to question me?"
When the long-tongued woman heard this, instead of being afraid, she became even more enthusiastic: "I don't dare. I'm not questioning the Baron. On the contrary, you have treated us very well during this period of contact. Therefore, we all agree that the Baron is very kind and fair." , was given to us by the ancient gods to save us.”
When Daniel Hawkins listened to what she said, of course he understood that this was a deliberate attempt to put a high hat on him, and he really couldn't take it off and said, "Thank you for your compliment."
"So, Lord Baron, you can't just listen to Laila's words and believe her without any evidence. Otherwise, I won't accept it, and neither will we. You guys are right. But I believe that Lord Baron will definitely It will be very fair.”
"Then how can you convince yourself?" Daniel Hawkins said.
"Since the Baron really heard what we said bad things about you, then you just need to tell us exactly what kind of bad things we said." When the long-tongued woman said this, her eyes showed a light of pride. She was very sure that the Baron The adults were just protecting Laila, he definitely didn't hear what they said.
Daniel Hawkins joked: "Then what if I say it and you don't admit it."
Winning, winning, the long-tongued woman said proudly: "Because we have never said it, how can we admit it."
Daniel Hawkins said: "Then what if I let you admit it with your own mouth."
The long-tongued woman was stunned for a moment before hearing the Baron continue: "Don't forget, we are wizards. The alchemist I just invited has veritaserum there. Each of you, please drink it for me. What do I ask you? Just answer the question. Laila, you can drink too."
Laila smiled and said: "Everything depends on the Baron." The balance of victory fell to Laila.
Daniel Hawkins said: "You are drinking in the hall in front of everyone. But don't worry, I won't kill you, but I hope I won't see you in the castle again."
Then he pointed at the woman with the long tongue and said, "Especially you."
The long-tongued woman's face suddenly turned pale, and she used her last strength to steady her tone and said: "I have lived this long and served the lord for so long, and I have never heard of such a thing as Veritaserum."
Daniel Hawkins did not answer the question, but turned around and said: "You will know if there is any after you drink it. Let's go..."
There was a "plop" sound behind him. Except for the long-tongued woman, the rest of the maids knelt down and hurriedly cried and confessed. They also said that there were children and elderly people to support at home and they could not be driven away.
The long-tongued woman stamped her feet angrily: "You..."
