Be a mermaid after 1000 years

It is impossible for Li Miaowei to be unaware of the abnormal behavior of everyone in the Duke's Mansion. If it was him before, it would be normal. Since inheriting Zoe's mermaid body, his emotional sense has become sharper, and he has become more sensitive to the people around him. Even if the mood swings are not intentional, you can faintly notice some of them. What's more, these servants don't have many hidden secrets. The eyes that look at him are simple and direct, and the negative resistance is full of them, which is worse than when he just a few days ago. Even stronger when it comes.

In the morning, when Li Miaowei returned the sapphire brooch to Chardi, the old housekeeper's eyes were very complicated. Besides the usual dislike and dislike, there seemed to be some pity and confusion, so that it was rare that he did not look at Li Miaowei. Poor etiquette shows a lot of nitpicking.

Among these people was Albert, the bearded gardener with a straightforward personality. Ever since he showed him a photo of his wife in the morning and was praised by Li Miaowei for the handsome and gentle mermaid, he got closer to him a lot.

Could it be that everyone in this family knew about the fact that I photographed the Duke outside the door last night?Otherwise, why did everyone look at him with accusing eyes, Li Miaowei suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and the feeling of Chrysanthemum being missed by a group of people is really not good.

He swam to the bank of the pool, stretched his arms, and got into the pool.

"Master, where are you going?" Didi called him hastily, and wanted to follow him up.

"It's so boring, let's take a stroll at Uncle Edson's place, oh, yes, Didi, you can stay here, remember to apply more ointment for dispelling blood stasis." The life of the rich and idle is not as easy as imagined, Li Miaowei turned his back, shook his head, and left quickly.

Disliked by his young master, Didi was very depressed. He didn't dare to look in the mirror this morning. Could it be that he was really ugly?

Cook Edson looked at his new wife who insisted on helping him choose dishes, he hesitated several times, this Mrs. Zoe is really carefree and leisurely, seeing him come to find her like a normal person, Ai Desen was a little reluctant to deal with it at first. He and Butler Chardy are both old people in the Duke's Mansion, and they know a little about Mr. Blanche's affairs, so they treat their masters in a different way besides being respectful and loyal. The same love and affection as the juniors, especially Xia Erdi, who loves the Duke as his own child.

Don't look at the adults who are tall and steady now, like a real man, but when they were four or five years old, they were a very timid child, with no peers around them, and when they were unhappy, they secretly endured it alone, well-behaved and pitiful. Desen had just left his hometown that year and was introduced to work in the duke's mansion. He worked alongside the old cook. The most decent thing he made was desserts. When he saw this situation, he would hide behind the old duke's back and cook for Master Blanche. Delicious, maybe it was at that time that adults developed the habit of eating sweets when they were in a bad mood.

The population of the Duke's Mansion is very small. Except for the Duke and his son, Edson has never heard anyone mention the Duchess. Fewer and fewer people know the past, but where there are people, there are right and wrong, and some of them have been caught in their ears. I heard that the old Duchess abandoned her husband and son and remarried shortly after Master Blanche was born, not like Ed. Mr. Sen thought he passed away, and the old duke's temper became capricious. Master Blanche suffered a lot for this. When he was eight years old, the old duke drank too much and died of illness. The young master inherited the title. As a young child, she was taken into the palace by Her Majesty the Queen and raised by herself for several years, and the affairs of the territory were also entrusted to trustworthy people for management, until Lord Blanche returned to her territory when she was 14 years old.

Due to the strong suppression of the royal family, the outside world does not know about the family affairs of the Duke's Mansion. However, the old Duchess remarried to a person from the royal family. This matter has become a topic that the nobles talk about in private. Received many cryptic and strange looks, he developed a reticent and introverted character, and then experienced the incident three years ago, except for a few close friends, the adult has even less contact with others.

Thinking of this, Edson stopped what he was doing and couldn't help shouting, "Madam, you..."

"What, Uncle Edson?" Li Miaowei looked up at the cook.

Edson suddenly found that he couldn't continue asking. The eyes in front of him were too clear, and the smile was too sincere. If a person did something he shouldn't do, how could he be so calm? Mrs. Zoe was only in her teens. Good at disguising, and will not be so scheming to the point of being impeccable.

"It's nothing." Edson frowned, and replied: "I just want to ask if you are healthy. I heard from Housekeeper Chardy that you have an injury on your leg, so you should rest more, and there is not much work in the kitchen. , I can do it easily by myself.”

"It's okay, what's the little injury, Dr. Xi Luo's medicine is very effective, it doesn't hurt anymore, uncle, I'm not helping you, I'm just looking for something to relieve my boredom, you can do it, and share some Let me do things." Li Miaowei looked bored to death.

Edson sighed helplessly. This new lady is really full of energy and can't rest for a moment. She doesn't look like a pampered nobleman at all. According to Jessie, he even made the bed by himself in the past two days. The dirty clothes were also washed off by myself. Of course, a few pieces of clothes were also washed and scrapped.

"Madam, if you feel that you have nothing to do, you can go to the housekeeper Shardi and ask him to invite a music teacher or flower art teacher for you. I heard that those noble ladies are also very keen on musicals recently. Motan is the most famous The ghost song and dance troupe will arrange a performance in Ankad City next month, if you are interested, you can ask the housekeeper to get VIP tickets for you, the tickets on the market have already been sold out." Find something to do Well, this way you won't go the old way of Madame Teresa, too spiritually empty and easy to be seduced.

musical?What it is?

Li Miaowei waved his hand and said, "You don't need to learn music. I'm quite musical." There are weddings and ceremonies in the village, and he was asked to be a temporary suona player. Said that when he was poor, he even thought about relying on this ability to make a living on the flyover, but later found out that all the people doing this job were blind.

"As for growing flowers, I'm not very interested, but I'm pretty good at growing vegetables."

Edson was confused.

"These are actually not important, Uncle Edson, I just want to ask you, where can I find a job?" Didi said that he wanted to buy a good transformation pill, and when he went back to look for it, he found his cheap dad No penny or silver was prepared for them.

"Looking for a job? Who's looking for it?"

Li Miaowei soaked the selected dishes into the pool, clapped his hands and said, "Hehe, of course it's me!"

Edson was taken aback, "How is this possible?"

"Is it not possible? But I asked Didi, the law doesn't say that mermaid nobles can't find a job."

There are no express regulations, but who would look for them? Even if there are a few, there are special reasons, such as economic problems.In order to improve their family life, some civilians in the mermaid will find something to do, but because they don’t have much physical strength, they can only engage in some artistic work, such as designers, painters, makeup artists, musicians, entertainers, etc. , Ordinary work is incompetent.

"Ma'am... Are you short of money?" Edson asked tentatively. After all, Mrs. Zoe is the son of Baron Ives. He said so suddenly, and it was hard to guarantee that he was not implying.

"Uh... that's not true." Forget it, it's better not to publicize the family scandal, "It's just that people have nothing to do all day, and people tend to think wildly."

Edson was just about to dispel Li Miaowei's idea of ​​finding a job, but the unintentional second half of the sentence made him alert. He stared at Li Miaowei for a while, and said, "Ma'am, let's ask the adults for advice. It's not easy for me as a cook to make up your mind about this kind of thing."

"That's true, then I'll ask him tonight."

"My lord has gone back to the territory, and it may take a few days before I come back." Edson observed his words and said, the matter between the lord and Miss Xiulan is not a big secret, but as an outsider, it is difficult to understand the three words of returning to the territory. understand another level of meaning.

"Oh, that's it, there's no rush, just wait for him to come back." Li Miaowei said indifferently.

Edson put his heart back into his stomach. To be honest, he liked Mrs. Zoe very much. Even if it wasn't for him, he hoped that the newlyweds could get along happily. Butler Erdi is so stubborn that he thinks that mermaids are not good things. In fact, he almost wanted to hint to Mrs. Zoe just now that she should be more enthusiastic and active when dealing with men. After three days of marriage, the Duke did not spend the night in the wife's room. Edson had to wonder if the new wife was attractive, but it was obviously too much to expect from a teenager who had the charm of Miss Shirley and Mr. North.

It is very common for nobles to raise one or two lovers, but if there is an illegitimate child outside before the birth of the legitimate son and the legitimate daughter, it would be a great shame to his other half. Edson dare not make random comments on the behavior of adults. Maybe both he and Housekeeper Chardy had misunderstood. Anyway, the water bed at noon also dispelled his worries. Your lord didn't hate Mrs. Zoe as much as you imagined. At least he fulfilled his responsibility. He only hoped that the new Madam can add a little master to the mansion as soon as possible, and bring some laughter and joy to this house that has been desolate for many years, and adults will not think about those people outside.

Just when everyone was expecting the Duke to come back soon, there was no news from him for three or four days. On the fifth day, Butler Chardi received a call from Maseri Island, it was the Duke My lord called. It turned out that on the second day after he went to the territory, he was called to Masseri Island in the Eastern Hemisphere due to an emergency. There was a tsunami there. The Duke had a star resort hotel there. The tsunami was small-scale, and it was hardly mentioned in the TV news. It was only briefly explained in the cracks of the newspaper, but the housekeeper did not notice it.

His Excellency the Duke gave a brief account of the situation, saying that the affairs on Maseri Island had been settled, and he would also go to visit several other hotel chains by the way, and he would not be back until more than half a month later. As for his wife, the Duke only asked He asked if he was healed, and hung up the phone after getting an affirmative answer.

Chardy heaved a sigh of relief. He no longer looked down on Zoe Aves. After all, he is a duchess who married back formally, and he is much more legitimate than those mistresses (husbands) outside.

Li Miaowei waited and waited but didn't see the Duke coming back. He was a little anxious. Now it's not a matter of whether to buy better transformation pills, but he and Didi's transformation pills are almost finished. Didi can't understand Xiao Why didn't the young master ask the housekeeper for pocket money, or simply ask the housekeeper to buy it for them?

However, Li Miaowei thought that it was a thing for someone to take the initiative to give it to him. It was a bit embarrassing for him to beg for family like a big man like a woman.

"Oh, my savings are all used to buy skin care products, that's fine." Didi could only compromise, "Let's save some food, and when I get my salary this month, use my money to buy." Di's back was full of light, showing a heroic spirit of "I will support you", and now it was Li Miaowei's turn to be depressed.

In fact, in other aristocratic families, if the wife has been in the house for so long, the pocket money should have been given long ago, but I can't blame Butler Chardy for this matter. He called Mrs. Blanche more than a week ago to ask about the new wife's How much pocket money is given every month, Blanche just wanted to say that it doesn’t matter if you give more or less, but remembering that day when Zoe desperately refused the sapphire brooch in the carriage, she felt angry, and changed her words when she was on the verge of speaking. It was changed to that if he didn't take the initiative to ask for it, he would not give it for the time being.

At the same time, among the nobles in the upper class, a rumor about the Hernand Duke's mansion began to spread again, saying that the new duchess had a somewhat unclear relationship with Prince Kashu when she attended the royal dinner. As for the entanglement, as for why it is not clear, the person who passed it on said it vaguely, and the person who listened to it took the initiative to use their imagination, so this rumor was constantly supplemented and perfected. An extremely eclectic, ambiguous, ups and downs and wonderful story of catching traitors in the court.

The complete version is that due to a chance encounter in the back garden of the palace, the duchess and Prince Kaxiu fell in love at first sight when they met for the first time. His Excellency caught him right away, the Duke became furious, and severely injured Prince Kaxiu on the spot. He even taught his new wife a lesson. The conflict between husband and wife who had only been married for a few days suddenly intensified. The next day, the Duke went to his beloved to his mistress, who has not returned home yet.

It can be said that the person who first spread the rumors only grasped a few clues. Some people saw Zoe Ives and the Duke running to the bedroom one after another. Mr. and Mrs. Blanche left early. The tone of the waiter's leak...but after adding fuel and vinegar, the rumors are not too far from the truth on the surface.

"It's disgusting! What's so good about that Zoe Ives, she looks so ugly, oh, my prince Kashu, do you know that Bellara's heart is about to break." A certain mermaid lady gritted her teeth Wipe away tears with handkerchief.

The married lady sitting next to her was very calm, she squinted at Bellara, and said mockingly: "Come on, Bellara, Prince Kaxiu doesn't even know you, don't be so sentimental, I think Ai The mermaid of the Weiss family is quite pitiful, he was sold to the Duke by his alcoholic father before he was a teenager, I heard that the Motan man has a violent temper, and his first wife died for no apparent reason."

"That's right." Another mermaid came over and whispered, "I heard from my cousin that Teresa was killed by him. My cousin's valet and Teresa's cousin are distant relatives. The news is absolutely unmistakable.”

Bellara stopped crying, threw down the handkerchief and retorted: "Nonsense, how did I hear that Teresa committed suicide."

"What do you mean? My cousin will still lie to me!"

"Then who knows, your cousin is as stupid as a pig."

"You, you little slut, see if I don't teach you a lesson!"

"You ugly monster, come on, who is afraid of whom!"

For a while, the water column and fireball with little power flew around, unable to hurt anyone, but made both sides of the fight into a mess. The married lady was afraid that it would affect her, so she got up and left. These two crazy girls, one by one, claimed to be Noble lady, even ordinary civilians, sitting with them is ashamed to death.
