After the carriage passed by, Lei Zhe poked Baron Duncan's arm with the hilt of his sword, and asked, "What is Earl Huadu doing now?"

For some reason, he didn't dare to look back at the other person's expression.

Baron Duncan watched it with gusto, and said with a smile, "Lei Zhe, you really are! Those two heavily-made-up servants have turned into ugly monsters. But unfortunately, Earl Huadu blocked your attack with an umbrella. His reaction It was quick and nothing happened."

Hearing these words, Lei Zhe turned his head quickly.

It was dusk, and the man was standing in the drizzle holding an umbrella, his overly pale face exuded an irresistible shimmer in the darkness.At this moment, he was looking at this side intently, with his slender eyebrows knit together, silently expressing the unhappiness in his heart.

Because of this prank, his already melancholy demeanor became even more gloomy.

Finally made the other party face up to his own existence, but Lei Zhe couldn't be happy at all.Seeing this gloomy face made him even more annoyed.

"Back to Grande." In an instant, he lost all interest.

He rubbed his frowning brows, and looked back at the pale and melancholy face again, feeling a little dazed for a while.

The carriage turned around in the wide forest clearing and headed towards Grande.

Jian Qiao, who had already expected that the carriage would go back, was still waiting by the side of the road, and was ready to block the second wave of mud attack with an umbrella.

But this time, Lei Zhe ordered the driver to slow down, and finally stopped beside him.

"I want to know how you recognized me?" Lei Zhe poked his head out of the car window and asked, "In Grande, the only one who can wear a silk shirt as expensive as gold as casual clothes is Lei Zhe Gran De, and Hall Grande. How do you know that the person in front of you is not Hall?"

Hall Grande was his eldest brother.

Jian Qiao didn't want to talk to this childish ghost at all.However, he carried the entire De Solette on his shoulders, and that was a responsibility he could never shirk.He must please these great nobles in order to fight for the interests of his people.

So he lowered his head slightly, and said in a soft voice: "In faraway Grande, there is a son of the sun, his pupils are as blue as the clear sky, and his hair is as bright as pure gold, when you are far away There's sunshine in your eyes when you look at him."

He lowered his head a little lower, and sighed: "The moment I opened the car door and saw you, I remembered this chant, which is a legendary poem written by a bard for you. So the people standing in front of me are you , who else could it be?"

Lei Zhe: "..."

At this moment, the inexplicable confusion, anger, and frustration accumulated in his heart all disappeared.He often heard more exaggerated compliments than this from others, but none of them made his heart jump like a bird.

How could there be someone like Earl Huadu in the world?He clearly said such flattering words, but there was no trace of flattering ugliness.He was too sincere and touching, and he calmed down all the unhappiness with just a few words.

Lei Zhe had to press his lips hard to keep himself from laughing on the spot.

"Congratulations," he said pretending to be arrogant, "you have pleased me, so today's business is over."

Jian Qiao clenched the handle of the umbrella and responded gently: "Thank you for your magnanimity."

Obviously he was the one who was made things difficult and humiliated, but because he had no power, he had to bow his head to the person who humiliated him. This is the survival rule of Totes.

Lei Zhe snorted and ordered the coachman to move on.

The sound of horseshoes rattling farther and farther away, Jian Qiao, who had been bowing her head respectfully, straightened up and looked indifferently at the carriage gradually engulfed in thick fog.He knows that this is only the beginning, and there are more difficulties and dangers waiting ahead.

---

Half an hour later, Jian Qiao's carriage shuttled through the wide and tidy streets of Grande. On both sides of the street stood row upon row of luxurious castles, exquisite houses, towering churches... Patrolling soldiers walked through the street holding torches, and issued a uniform sound. footsteps.

Seeing such lights and hearing such sounds in the dark night, no one can feel at ease.

If De Solette is a romantic maiden, then Grande is a solemn sage.It has maintained prosperity for hundreds of years, and its majesty is completely incomparable to other cities.

Jian Qiao focused on observing the road, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "We don't need to change our high-heeled shoes before we get out of the car."

It's not a wild joke that the man who invented high heels did it to stop stepping on shit.

Every city that Jian Qiao passed lacked a sewage treatment system, and people’s homes did not have toilets, so they could only excrete on the street.Even the royal palace of Charles III had no toilets, and the nobles who lived there could leave their "souvenirs" anywhere.

Fireplaces, flower beds, kitchens, you can find golden shit everywhere.

The magnificent palace in the legend is actually a feces-ridden and stinking farm, but what is kept in it is not livestock, but a group of nobles who claim to be elegant.

Thinking of this, Jian Qiao involuntarily covered her nose.

The two male servants huddled in the corner pointed to their mud-stained clothes, and said dumbfoundedly: "My lord, we and the street may be dirtier than the other."

At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the driver turned his head and whispered, "My lord, the road ahead is blocked again!"

Jane Qiao opened the curtains and looked out, only to see several carriages parked in the middle of the road, blocking the entire street, and gorgeously dressed maids and servants jumped out of the carriages, busy carrying boxes after boxes luggage.

They filed into a castle on the side of the road, and the castle was lit up one after another, and more servants ran out from inside, lined up on both sides, and lined the road to welcome the distinguished guests who came late at night.

Jian Qiao looked up at the castle and was shocked by its majesty, majesty and vastness.It is like a giant beast, crawling in the night, setting off the surrounding buildings so small.The heavy iron gate with a width of ten meters must be pushed by four strong male servants.

On both sides of the door are two lions carved in marble.They must have come from the hands of the most skilled sculptors, and their majesty and murderous aura are incomparable to real lions.They shook their thick manes, opened their mouths full of fangs, and let out a deafening roar to the sky.

It is clearly a static sculpture, but it is full of the wildness of living creatures.

Jian Qiao stared at the two lifelike lions and vaguely guessed who the castle belonged to.

The lion is the family emblem of the Grande family.

At the same time, the coachman replied in a low voice: "This is the Duke's Mansion."

Jian Qiao nodded without any surprise.This duke's mansion completely filled his imagination of this era, this continent, and the supreme imperial power.

"That man is Hall Grande." The coachman continued to introduce the situation.He's a local so he knows the city very well.

Jian Qiao looked intently, but saw a tall man jumping out of the most luxurious carriage.The torch held by the servant illuminated his face, and although this face was handsome, it was far inferior to Lei Zhe's natural dignity and arrogance.

His hair was brown, and his eyes were dark brown, which took away some of his brilliance.

He turned around and pulled out a young woman in her early twenties from the carriage.

The young woman walked very carefully step by step, holding her tall belly with one hand.

"That's Helen Grande, the youngest daughter of the Grande family. It is said that she is pregnant with the king's heir." The coachman said in a low voice.

It was a well-known secret in the aristocratic circle that Helen Grande was having sex with her brother-in-law.But Empress Mo An couldn't control this matter at all, because she was pregnant three times and had three miscarriages, and she still failed to give birth to a little prince for her husband.

Charles III's health was getting worse and he desperately needed an heir.

All the nobles acquiesced in the king's loveliness, and looked forward to the arrival of the little prince.

Under such circumstances, Helen Grande's belly is very precious.In the past, she was an ominous person whose husband died, rejected by her father, and ignored by her brothers and sisters, but now she is the darling of Charles III, and she is likely to replace the queen in the future and become the most honorable woman in Totes.

Fearing that something might happen to her living alone outside, Duke Grande ordered his eldest son to bring her back.

"Helen and Hall are brothers and sisters with the same father and mother. Their mother used to be the mistress of the Duke of Grande. Although the mistress is now married to the Duke, she cannot hide the fact that Helen and Hall are illegitimate children. Lord Lei Zhe Empress Mo'an's mother was born very noble, but her fate was tragic, and she was pissed off by Duke Grande a long time ago. Did you know that before being raised by Duke Grande, Helen and Hall's mother was just a prostitute!"

The coachman raised his jaw at Hall and Helen, and said in a very disdainful tone, "Those two people have the blood of whores flowing in their bodies."

In this era, bloodlines are highly valued, and one cannot be considered a real noble without pure bloodlines.So even the coachman could treat Hall Grande and Helen Grande with contempt.

The two male servants had never heard of such a powerful family secret, and they couldn't help being speechless.

Jian Qiao has long been familiar with the strangeness.

This kind of scandal is no different from the family struggles in the ancient Hua Kingdom. It is all about favoring concubines and destroying wives, using concubines as concubines, and fighting each other.

The so-called house fight is nothing more than the fact that today the east wind overwhelms the west wind, and tomorrow the west wind overwhelms the east wind.Judging from the current situation, it seems that Lei Zhe and his sister are about to lose.

Jian Qiao lightly touched the corners of her eyes with her fingertips, and finally her mood was not so gloomy.

At this moment, Helen Grand suddenly raised her voice and asked, "Is your master the Earl of Huadu?"

She saw the anemones on the carriage, and she recognized the origin of the convoy.

The coachman quickly replied, "Yes, we are from Desolet."

Unable to hide herself anymore, Jian Qiao had no choice but to get out of the carriage and greet the siblings.Logically speaking, he was an earl, while Helen was just a widow, their status and status were very different, it was Helen who saluted him.

But Helen stood still and raised her arms, motioning for Jian Qiao to come and kiss the back of her hand.

Her jaw was raised high, and the word "charity" was almost engraved on her face.

Hall Grande stood with his hands behind his back, with an even more arrogant expression.

Jian Qiao walked over slowly, suppressed her displeasure, and kissed the back of Helen's hand as soon as she touched it.Through the rough skin smeared with face powder, he could smell a faint smell of sweat.

People here think that water is unclean and will bring disease, so they don't take a bath all year round.

For a moment, he almost couldn't suppress the uproar in his stomach.

Helen withdrew her hand and ordered, "I want the tears of an angel. You send it over tomorrow. I want to decorate my crown with it."

The Angel's Tears is a 50-carat light blue diamond and the jewel of Du Solette's town.It was carved into a pear shape by craftsmen, and the whole body is crystal clear. It looks like a teardrop dropped by an angel. It is holy and gorgeous.It was worth enough to buy half a Grande, yet the woman demanded this treasure with a tone of naturalness.

In her eyes, Jian Qiao's status was about the same as that of a dog, and it was a great honor for her to look down at the dog more.

Whatever she wanted, Jian Qiao had to kneel on the ground, raise her hands high, and give it away step by step, with a grateful expression at the end.

She is a typical aristocrat who doesn't treat people as people.

Thinking of this, Jian Qiao's face was completely gloomy.

At this time, Hall Grande also spoke: "Tomorrow you bring the most expensive jewelry, silk cloth, and long dresses in your store for my sister to choose. You also know that she needs to look the most beautiful Attend the king's banquet. By the way, you can also bring your account book here for me to see."

Jian Qiao immediately realized that Hall had regarded Grande as his territory, and the profits of the shops opened on his territory would naturally belong to him.

He asked for the account book, just to see how much money he could grab.Although he wears the cloak of a nobleman, he does the work of a robber.If the account book is really given to him, he will take away all the wealth of De Solette City, and not a single copper coin will be left to Jian Qiao.

As for whether Jian Qiao himself and his people will starve to death because of this, I'm sorry, that's not his business at all, and it's completely out of his consideration.

Therefore, compared with these two brothers and sisters, Lei Zhe is as cute as an angel.

Jane Qiao regretted it.He shouldn't have been grateful for Lei Zhe's bad situation just now.

Now, he sincerely hopes that Lei Zhe and Empress Mo An are the winners of this house fight, at least the siblings have a bottom line, unlike these two sons of prostitutes, the blood flowing in their bodies stinks of greed taste.
