The next day, they woke up as usual. Aimee was still lazy and acted coquettishly in Bennett's arms. The mornings after marriage were no different from usual for the two of them. After all, they had lived together for six years and were truly an old couple.

Of course, this only applies to the two of them. It is not the same for the maids outside the door. Today they are discussing yesterday's wedding, but they are not discussing how touching the wedding was, but Kenny who ran away overnight last night.

"Have you heard? The young master left the bride alone in the room last night."

"I've heard that too, but the women in Rose Neck are not clean, and that woman must be one too."

"But that woman is quite pitiful. She is still guarding in the room."

"Really? Who are you pretending to be? What good things can a family that owns a Hong Kong museum have?"

"Yes, yes, look at those lips, they are so red, as if they drank blood."

"Their family originally drank blood."

"You stinky bitch, you deserve it. Bah, she is not worthy of Master Kenny."

"He's rich, who are you jealous of?"

……

The words outside became more and more unpleasant, and Aimee's face became darker and darker. They talked about their master behind her back. If the lord heard them, he would probably execute them or sell them to a brothel, but Aimee didn't have such a heart of stone after all.

She put on a coat to cover her graceful body, stood up, opened the door, and glared at the maids.

"Everyone come in."

The maids had already realized their mistake and entered the room with their heads lowered and shoulders hunched like quails.

Bennett had also put on his coat. He had always been nice to the maids, but such rumors would not only affect Helen and Kenny. In serious cases, it would affect the reputation of the territory family and implicate Aimee and Bennett.

Ignoring the maids' pleading looks, she sat at the desk and ate her breakfast, waiting for Aimee to teach them a lesson.

"Who gave you the right to spread rumors everywhere?"

The maids looked at each other, and a brave one spoke first.

“This is not a rumor.”

"Yes, yes."

"A new red restaurant opened in the territory today. It must have been brought here by that bitch."

"That's right, that's right. My father sold me and my mother just to go to the Hong Kong Coliseum to gamble. If it weren't for the lord, I might have that disgusting rose tattoo on my ear now."

"There are so many women and men in their Hong Kong Coliseum, and we don't know where they got here."

"How else can it come from? Human trafficking."

……

As soon as he started talking, all kinds of accusations came pouring out, as chaotic as a group of ducks quacking.

Aimee was also having a headache. The nobles knew much more about the goings-on at the Hong Kong Coliseum than the common people. She also knew that these were facts, but Aimee knew Helen's situation better than anyone else. She and her mother had examined Helen themselves, and the process was quite humiliating, but Helen still persisted without saying a word.

Just because Aimee doesn't reject Helen doesn't mean the maids don't.

A maid glanced at Bennett, then stepped forward and whispered to Aimee:

"Miss, I heard that the woman is the apprentice of the Master Mage. You have to be careful. The women in Rose Territory are all mermaids. I heard that mermaids like to eat men, especially capable men."

After hearing this, Aimee and Bennett were both confused. What was going on?

"Alright, alright, you're getting more and more ridiculous. My mother and I have examined the young lady, and there's nothing wrong with her. Don't worry."

The maids were still worried. The maid who was sold by her father said, "What about the Hong Kong Pavilion? The Hong Kong Pavilion is not a good place. Will we be sold to the Hong Kong Pavilion in the future?"

The other maids nodded.

"Yeah yeah."

"It's so scary. Tattoos hurt so much."

“I heard that some people died after getting a tattoo.”

"Oh, how terrible, how terrible."

……

These maids were all relatively young, and their childish remarks once again made Aimee and Bennett laugh. Ultimately, that was where the complaints came from.

"Don't worry, the manor will not be sold to you, even if you are the young lady. Don't talk nonsense in the future. Do you hear me?"

"Yes."

"Let's all go out."

The maids glanced at Bennett and shoved their way out of the room.

Aimee closed the door, rubbed her eyebrows, sat down at the table, picked up a piece of bread and started to eat it without any image.

"After we finish eating, let's go see Helen."

Bennett's eyes twitched: "Why should I go? Haven't you heard that mermaids eat people?"

Aimee glanced at Bennett and chewed the meat in her mouth and swallowed it. "You are his teacher, how can you just ignore everything? Master Mervyn didn't treat you like this back then."

The master-disciple relationship in this world is stricter than the 'once a teacher, always a father' relationship in the previous world. After all, the class stratification in this world is much more severe than that in ancient Xia State, and Bennett teaches supernatural powers, and his status is equivalent to that of an immortal.

As the empty dead sea flashed before his eyes, Bennett sighed in his heart. Forget it. It would not lose face if he held a grudge against a little girl. He was not Long Aotian or Ye Liangchen. He did not have the intention of destroying someone's entire family. It was unnecessary.

"Okay, let's go together later."

"Well, good."

Aimee leaves a greasy mark on Bennett's mouth.

After breakfast, the two washed and dressed under the care of the maids and went to Helen's room.

In the quiet corridor, the whispers of several maids were so clear, it was still the same old thing. As long as they were refugees from other territories, they had a deep hatred for the Red Pavilion. Indeed, every bankrupt territory had a Red Pavilion. After all, the Red Pavilion could satisfy almost all the pleasures of the nobles.

"Cough cough."

"Miss."

The maids hid their heads in their chests. Aimee was too lazy to teach them a lesson. After all, everyone in the manor was talking about this matter. To put it bluntly, this matter was out of control.

In front of them was Helen and Kenny's wedding room. The door was half-open. Aimee looked inside through the crack, pushed the door open, and pulled Bennett into the room.

The white candles in the room had been burning all night, and the flames were still flickering slightly. There were red and white roses decorated for a wedding on the bed. A girl in a wedding dress was sitting on the edge of the bed with her head lowered. In her hand was a crystal duckbill, which was an instrument used for inspection. The sound of the door being pushed open startled the dead blue eyes. She looked up, but it was not the person she wanted to see.

Standing in front of Helen, Aimee thought of her past self, whose fate was as tragic as those of these aristocratic girls.

"Are you here for a re-inspection?"

In the dim room, the girl raised her head slightly and looked at the teacher behind Aimee. Those slightly glowing eyes stung her dignity. She could no longer pay attention to the emotions in those eyes. She just wanted to prove her innocence.

"The teacher is here too."

He stood up and handed the humiliating vessel to Aimee, then slowly turned around and left his back to the two of them.

"I didn't have an affair before marriage. I have nothing to do with the family business. You can check it out as you like."

Without waiting for the person behind her to speak, she bent down and lifted the hem of her skirt with her hand.

Bennett put the coat on her, and she just looked back and followed through with the action.

After looking at Aimee, Bennett left the room and closed the door. He no longer had any resentment towards the girl, so he decided to leave it at that.
