Me! Cleaner!

Chapter 171 Without the palace, I can only eat my husband.

Aren't you coming back today?

Little did she know that for the safety of himself and his younger siblings, Leon was accompanying the terrifying red-haired bad woman to fight to the death in the sea of ​​wine. When the street lights below the apartment turned on and no sign of Leon was seen, Anna couldn't help but sigh. tone.

But just as she stood up from the window and was about to put away the food she had left on the table, there was a sudden sound of familiar footsteps in the stairwell.

Is this... coming back?

Hearing the highly recognizable heavy footsteps, the sickly girl couldn't help but feel slightly happy. After wiping her wet palms on her apron, she quickly ran over and prepared to open the door.

However, as soon as she stood up, she discovered that although the footsteps were very similar to Lyon's, with a heavy feeling as if they were carrying something, the pace was obviously smaller.

Turns out he's not my brother...

Ana, who was a little disappointed, sighed and loosened her grip on the doorknob, but the footsteps that were quite similar to Leon walked straight towards her, and then the door was gently knocked by someone. Ringed.

"Tuk, Tuk, Tuk"

Come to my house?

Hearing some sudden knocks on the door, Anna was slightly startled, then carefully asked through the door:

"Who are you looking for?"

After hearing the sound coming from inside the door, the person outside the door paused, and then replied warmly:

"I'm looking for Leon, Leon Lane."

Looking for your brother? And the voice... is a woman?

Although the woman's voice was very nice and had a convincing sense of calmness, Anna didn't know why, but she instinctively became vigilant and almost subconsciously prevaricated:

"He's already asleep! And it's already very late now. Come back tomorrow!"

“…”

As if aware of her defensiveness, the woman outside the door pondered for a while, then leaned close to the door and whispered:

"Are you Anna? Leon told me about you.

Also, although there are men's shoes specially placed outside the door, the pair Leon wore today are not there, so he hasn't gone home yet, right? Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I really came here to find him. "

“…”

Face to face... lies through the door and was actually exposed on the spot. Anna's face couldn't help but blush slightly, and then she quickly turned the door handle and apologized with some embarrassment:

"I'm sorry...my brother told me a few days ago to be more careful recently. There might be bad guys targeting our family, so I just...well..."

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of her who looked a little tired but had an astonishingly good figure, Anna's words couldn't help but get stuck. While looking at the plump front of the other person with shock in her eyes, she instinctively measured the gap between herself and the other person.

It's... it's not fair!

"It doesn't matter. It's normal for you to be more defensive if I suddenly come to your door so late at night."

Seeing that she finally managed to trick her into opening the door, she only had a silver wheel given to her by Leon. She couldn't afford to stay in a hotel and couldn't return to the palace. She couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, in order to have a place to stay tonight, while recalling the information he had read, he tried his best to cheat and said with a friendly face:

"This is the first time we met. My name is Veronica. As for my identity...I am your brother's fiancée."

? ? ?

What did you say?

After listening to the powerful self-introduction of the princess, the sickly girl was as stunned as a little duck struck by lightning.

This is impossible!

He clearly said that he would spend his whole life... In short, even if we are not related by blood, I am still his most important sister! He will definitely be the first to tell me about getting married! It must be fake! This woman must be lying...well...

Anna put her hands on her hips and widened her eyes. Just when she was about to use her unknown anger to scold the woman in front of her not to lie, she couldn't help but glance at her chest again. It seems...not completely impossible? After all, she is really...

"Anna?"

After waiting for a long time, she didn't hear the other party's question. She couldn't continue the words she had prepared before coming. Princess Veronica had to use her brain to improvise and said proactively:

"I know that you may not be able to accept the news when you suddenly hear it, but I didn't lie. I am really your brother's fiancée."

"But...but he never told me, and he has always been busy, where does he have time..."

"It's really sudden."

She took the sickly girl's sweaty palm and held her arm affectionately like a real sister-in-law. After entering the house, the princess said apologetically:

"Just this afternoon, he proposed to me personally in the main hall of the Lane Manor in front of all the guests who came to attend the knighthood ceremony.

And I happened to be very friendly with him, so I agreed directly after thinking about it. Because it happened too suddenly, I didn’t have time to tell you... By the way, did Leon tell you where he was going today? "

"Said..."

I didn't find that the princess secretly left out questions such as "the date of the relationship" and "why she didn't introduce it to her family." She directly connected the authenticity of this sister-in-law with whether Leon went to Lane Manor today.

After recalling what Leon said, I found that he seemed to have really said that he was going to Lane Manor to participate in some kind of knighthood ceremony. After seeing that the "intelligence" on both sides actually matched, Anna's heart was filled with the thought inertia of "one truth, all truth". The last trace of doubt was completely wiped out, and he said with complicated eyes:

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"So you really are..."

"I'm really your sister-in-law."

The tip of her nose, which was stained with soot, trembled slightly. After smelling the tempting aroma of rice, she had not eaten any water or rice since morning. The hungry princess finally couldn't bear it any longer.

After pulling Anna, whose eyes were a little straight, to sit down at the dining table, she opened the dishes covered with vegetables in a very natural movement, pushed one of the small plates in front of Anna, and asked with concern in her eyes:

"I think there's something wrong with your state. Did you eat too little at night and feel unwell?"

"ah…"

All she could think about was that her brother was getting married. The bride was not... not... it was her brother who was getting married. She didn't even tell herself. Anna, whose brain was overloaded, instinctively responded:

"It seems... I didn't eat too much..."

"Then eat some more, and I'll accompany you."

After naturally taking a bowl and placing it in front of her, the princess forked a piece of cauliflower and put it on Anna's plate, and then cut herself a large piece of steaming fried fish steak, her manners impeccable. Filled it into his mouth.

After chewing the fish fillet twice as fast as she could in her life, and then swallowing it in one gulp, the princess, who succeeded in cheating and drinking, took a spoon and dug into the mashed potatoes, and spoke with concern on her face:

"Eat quickly. You are so thin. When Leon comes back, I will definitely be very sad if I see you not taking good care of yourself."

"Ah? Okay..."

After the princess's painstaking persuasion, she ate two cauliflowers as side dishes and a few small slices of carrots for soup.

Looking at the three plates that had been swept away by her "sister-in-law" on the table, Anna finally realized that something seemed amiss, and looked suspiciously at the beautiful woman opposite who was wiping her mouth with satisfaction.

This sister-in-law...how does it look like she's here to trick you into eating and drinking?
