Before her mother Mary died, she saved her last life into a whisper with the stench of death: "Never...be found..."

After her mother died, Grace found that her wrist was clenched red by her mother.When the red circle around his wrist turned purple, his mother was buried, and Mary's best friend, Sophie, the cook, took over Grace's care.

Sophie the cook has a much rougher figure than her name, which makes her an old maid.There was nothing wrong with this, at least it saved her from the fate of her maid being toyed with by the host, male guests, and even gardeners and grooms, and it also saved her from the bad luck of her maid getting pregnant and having children before she got married.

Sophie was the first to discover Grace's secret.

In the summer when Grace was ten years old, there were guests at the manor, so there were many more dirty sheets to be washed.Grace passed out after soaking her hands in scalding water for a day.Cook Sophie saw his secret while cooling his hot body, exclaimed: "My God!" and immediately covered her skirt back.

The second person who discovered Grace's secret was the distinguished guest invited by the lady—the Earl of Arundel.

Unlike Mr. Stone, who is simply rich, Arundel is a real nobleman.

This aristocratic gentleman is in his thirties and has not yet married a wife. It is said that he is close to 1.9 meters tall, has a pair of silver-gray eyes, is extremely serious, and is also extremely handsome.

And Mrs. Stone... People always like to describe Mrs. Stone's face as "dried sausage" behind her back—in fact, not only her face, but her body is also a sausage, shriveled and wrinkled, which makes people lose their appetite.

But no one wondered why a nobleman like the Earl of Arundel should marry a woman like Lady Ston.

Rumors have spread, and everyone feels that war may start at any moment.The Earl of Arundel was an active fighter, and fighting was expensive.

Mr. Stone left untold wealth to his wife and children, but his second son was underage, and his wife could not claim his share until she remarried.Only his eldest son got his own one-third five years ago, and left his hometown two years ago to realize his political ideals.

Orphans and widows cannot preserve their wealth in war-torn times, and Mrs. Stone is eager to give herself a new surname.

When the Earl of Arundel came to the villa for the first time, all the unsightly and inferior servants were driven into the kitchen, and the young Grace, as the most beautiful virgin in the villa, was assigned the task of feeding desserts for the guests.

This dessert is the most popular nowadays. It is a small pale yellow cylinder, soaked in milk, softer than pudding. The hard metal tableware will be deformed when it is touched. Gently pinch it, put it on the two fingertips of the other hand, and then gently hold it with your thumb to keep it balanced, so that it can be completely sent into the mouth.

This way of eating is too inelegant to appear on a formal table, so it needs to be served by a maid; and the taste of this dessert is very fresh, and the color of the milk is so pure, so when serving the most distinguished guests, you must use the most beautiful the virgin.

Grace supported the small pale yellow cylinder with the pads of the index and middle fingers of her left hand, pressed the top of the small cylinder lightly with her thumb, and followed behind with closed fingers of her right hand to catch the milk dripping from the small cylinder.

The Earl of Arundel had a pair of thin lips, extremely indifferent, condescended to open his mouth when Grace's fingertips touched his lower lip, and took the small cylinder together with Grace's two finger pulps into his mouth .

Grace suddenly let out a low cry, and shuddered like a frightened rabbit.

The Earl of Arundel spat out his fingertips and turned his head coldly and disdainfully.

Mrs. Stone said in a soft voice no servant had ever heard: "I am so sorry, Mr. Arundell, Grace is not frivolous, she is just too young and timid."

Earl Arundel glanced at Grace, who was about to tuck her neck into her shoulders and lowered her head in fear, waiting for her death, and said calmly, "You are timid? Afraid I will bite off your finger?"

The dining table was quiet, and it took several seconds for people to realize that it was a joke, and burst into laughter.

The lagged laughter made Grace even more terrified. She grinned helplessly and followed up with a smile. At the same time, she raised her eyelids to peek quickly, but she met the silver-gray eyes of the Earl of Arundel.

That night, the Earl of Arundel stayed in the guest room on the second floor, and the servants were called in from the kitchen to do the cleaning.

Sophie, the cook, asked the butler, "Where's Grace?"

The butler didn't even bother to open his mouth, he just raised his arrogant eyelids and pointed upstairs.

Sophie the cook yelled in horror: "My God! How could Grace—" At this point, her expression was even more frightened than before, as if something had severely strangled her neck, squeezing back all the words behind her in stomach.
