Chapter 1080 The Vampire Duke vs the Fallen Female Lord 11(1/2)

The smile on the man's face was just right, his white and clean shirt made him noble and elegant, his dark blue eyes were calm and gentle, and he looked very harmless.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes last night, she would never have connected the person in front of her with the ferocious vampire.

Xihe lowered his head slightly: "Good morning, Mr. Ireland."

Now she had to think about how to stabilize this vampire, whom she knew nothing about.

In the gorgeous hall, the old butler directed the servants to bring the dishes to the table. Ham, bread, and cheese were all very rich, and bright roses were placed in antique bottles.

Xihe sat in the first place and enjoyed the delicious food. On one side were Ailande and on the other side were other members of the Simon family.

The dining table that accommodates more than 20 people is almost full. Uncle Suzani and his wife, who were kicked out by the original owner, gave birth to three children. Uncle Temple also has four children, and these children have given birth to little ghosts... some of them have little ones.

The child was naughty and wanted to cry, but his father glared at him, so he could only eat silently with his mouth closed and tears in his eyes.

After breakfast, Xihe sat in the garden and drank milk tea elegantly.

In fact, it is a kind of tea and milk brewed from the East. The taste is average, but it is very trendy in this era and only noble families can afford it.

"Miss Frigga." The old housekeeper hurried over.

Xihe put down the cup with doubt in his eyes. The old housekeeper wiped his sweat and gasped: "Mrs. Lisa would like to ask you to take in her and her children."

Xihe blinked, and the old housekeeper quickly explained the whole story. It turned out that Mrs. Lisa married a small manor owner not long after she was kicked out, but that guy was an alcoholic bastard and often beat her.

Mrs. Lisa didn't want her brothers to worry, so she never said anything. She also had a very difficult life with her two children.

Until recently, the bastard went too far and broke the child's head while drunk, leaving blood dripping. She also heard that Xihe had taken her brothers back, so Xin Yiheng brought the child to seek her blessing.

After hearing this, Xihe said directly: "Let them come in."

The old housekeeper nodded hurriedly, ordered his servant to pick him up, and reported the recent income and expenditure to Xihe.

One by one, they listed the recent expenditures, fields, food and drink, and seedlings in great detail. The meaning was the same: their finances had fallen into a "red" state and they could not make ends meet.

Xihe blinked after hearing this: "How long can I last?"

The old butler bent over and said, "A month and a half at most, if no adjustments are made to the food."

Xihe: "..."

Is this because there is strength in numbers? She was overwhelmed.

The old housekeeper looked at her carefully and suggested tactfully: "You have been very kind by bringing Messrs. Suzani and Temple back and taking care of their children. If you simply adjust the recipes, they will not resent you for this."

"Of course, if they hate you, it's not worth your hard work."

As a loyal butler who has personally watched his little master grow up, Brando will only consider the interests of his little master when interests conflict.

Xihe's eyebrows were twisted into caterpillars, but she didn't answer. Instead, she asked what the Simon family were doing now.

Old housekeeper: "...They help in the vineyard."

After breakfast, the Simon family members went to work in the fields with a tacit understanding.

They also know that they will be looked upon by others for bringing up a family, and they are afraid of being kicked out again, so they work very hard.

Xihe's frown slowly relaxed: "Brando, I will find a way to solve the money matter. Everything in the manor will remain as usual. Little Ryan and the others are still growing and must ensure adequate nutrition."

The old housekeeper was a little worried, but he still chose to obey his master's instructions and respectfully retired.

But how to get a sum of money quickly? Xihe didn't have a good idea for the time being. She walked around the manor under a big black umbrella, picked a tulip and held it in her hand.

The sun is gentle, but maybe due to lack of strength, she cannot stand in the sun for a long time.

Although everyone in the manor found it strange that he had to carry a big black umbrella with him every time he went out, it was not surprising that most noble ladies also held umbrellas when they went out.

At most, their lords have different preferences. They don't like lace and prefer bare black umbrellas.

Half of the land outside the manor was planted with grapevines and the other half with soybeans. Xihe passed by the greenhouse and saw Ailand playing with bottles and jars inside. He didn't know what he was busy with?

After wandering around for a while, Xihe returned to the bedroom.

She scanned the entire room. There were expensive paintings hanging on the walls, exquisite porcelain on the table, and antique vases on the cabinets, each of which was worth a lot of money...

On the same day, Xihe asked his servant to deliver a letter to the Duke's Mansion.

After sending the letter, she lay on the bed and ate fruit leisurely, not caring how angry Lester was when he saw the letter.

Within two days, Xihe saw a large wooden box in the bedroom. She opened it and filled it with gold coins. The gold almost blinded her.

Xihe was so happy that he called the housekeeper over and asked him to put it in the warehouse.

The old housekeeper looked at the box of gold coins and was stunned. He almost couldn't help asking the young master, did you go to rob? Fortunately, he still remembered his identity.

After solving a serious problem, Xihe felt completely relaxed.

But the next day, she was in chaos again.

"Where did this come from?"

She pointed to the wooden box filled with gold coins.

The old housekeeper was even more confused than she was: "The Duke of Leicester sent someone to deliver it, and he said that he likes the antiques you sent very much."

He was trembling and at a loss. He thought he had done something wrong and asked Xihe if he wanted to send the things back. Xihe refused.

"Since it was sent by the Duke of Leicester, then send it to the warehouse." But, "What happened to the gold coins yesterday?"

Old housekeeper:...face full of confusion.

"Didn't you ask me to put it in the warehouse?"

Xihe understood, but the housekeeper didn't know either.

She rubbed her brows and asked the housekeeper to ask the servants to see if anyone knew about it. She found nothing.

Suddenly, Xihe thought of someone, but she was not sure.

"It's okay, you can go down first."

The old housekeeper stopped talking and went silently.

Xihe looked out the window at the darkening sky, stood up, and went to the flower room with his skirt in hand.

Everyone in the manor was in the room at this time, and the street lights were dim in the night. She walked to the greenhouse and knocked on the door, and there was a voice asking to come in.

She opened the door and went in. Ireland was sitting at a table, fiddling with something seriously.

There were bottles, jars and glassware of various colors on the table. As soon as she got closer, the strong fragrance of roses hit her nostrils. She raised her eyebrows in surprise: "You know how to make perfume?"

Grande carefully dropped a drop of rose oil into the glass bottle and handed it to her: "Try it."

Xihe picked it up, smelled it, poured a drop on the back of her hand, and Ailande gently pushed it open for her. Instantly, her white and tender hands became more delicate and smooth.

"That box of gold coins in my room... was it you who put it there?"

"Um."

The man lowered his eyebrows. From her perspective, she could only see his long and curled eyelashes, high bridge of nose, and broad shoulders... The strength of his hands was very gentle.

Xihe's heart trembled and he bit his lip: "Gouzi, this guy committed a foul!"

First he was given a life-saving grace, and now he secretly sends money without telling her. How can she withstand this?

Xihe coughed lightly: "Mr. Ireland, thank you very much. But I have already received the money, so you don't have to do these things anymore."

She withdrew her hand, but held it tightly.

Ireland raised her eyes and looked at her dangerously: "You don't want mine, but Lester's?"

Xihe's eyes wandered: "Mr. Ireland, this is different. Lester plotted against me, causing me to almost die at the hands of that vampire. He should help me."

"Besides, I only borrowed his money temporarily. I will pay it back to him when the vineyard makes profits."

Lester dared to harm her like that, and she hadn't asked him for trouble yet. What's wrong with him doing a favor? He could just have fun without killing him.

"I don't allow it!"

Ireland held her wrist. Her gentle brows were filled with fierceness: "Frigga, don't forget your identity. You are my servant! You should listen to me."

Xihe:...That touch of emotion was shattered instantly.

She was so angry, he really knew how to say, return the servant! Did she do it voluntarily?

Shaking his hand away, Xihe's face turned cold: "Mr. Ireland, first of all, I want to remind you that it is not my wish to become your vampire. I just want to be a normal human being.

do you understand?"

She was so strong that Grande's hand hit the table, and the perfume rolled and fell to the ground.

The rich and ambiguous scent of roses spread in the flower room, but the tension between the two people was tense. Ireland looked at the woman who stared at him without giving up, feeling novel and angry.

How dare she get angry with him? She is so capable!

Ireland had a stern face: "Frigga, don't try to challenge me. You can't afford the consequences of my anger."

Xihe rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, what? He could still kill her.

Not only was she not afraid, she was even a little eager to try: "What? Are you going to kill me? Okay, you go ahead and take back the life you saved."

Stretching her white and tender neck, she reached under his eyes.

Gouzi was shocked: "Are you crazy?"
