The proposal was confirmed, and the group of civil servants and generals below immediately began to arrange the engagement ceremony. The old manager, Mad, was naturally the main figure. Before dawn, he sent dozens of servants out to go shopping. Although it was not dawn,
Many shops were not open yet, but was it unusual for the Duke to get engaged? Accompanied by teams of Tulip family guards, they knocked on the shop doors and explained their purpose to the sleepy-eyed shop owners.
Du Wei originally had high prestige in the northwest and was respected by everyone. Hearing that the Duke was getting engaged, he sent people out to purchase it, and no one complained.
In the morning, the news of Lord Tulip Duke's engagement spread.
The castle in the Duke's Palace was decorated with lights and decorations, all the guards had put on brand new uniforms, and a full set of ceremonial equipment had been taken out. It was busy outside the banquet hall, with servants running back and forth.
At this time, of course some people are happy and some are sad.
The members of the Liszt family who had been living in the Duke's Palace heard the news and immediately went back to report it to the Marquise.
Mrs. Liszt has rarely seen Du Wei these days. Firstly, Du Wei is busy, and secondly, because her own secret was known to Du Wei. This is a secret that is enough to make the Liszt family confiscate their entire family! Let her
How could we not be worried and frightened? Because of this thought, Mrs. Lister inexplicably developed a subconscious fear and avoidance of Du Wei.
However, today I suddenly heard that Du Wei was getting engaged. This thunderbolt struck, and Mrs. Lister's energy suddenly lifted! The panic and decadence of the past few days suddenly disappeared under this strong pressure.
"He's getting engaged? Is it to that female magician?" The beautiful face of the Marquise was full of indescribable complex meanings. She seemed helpless. There was unwillingness, resentment, and sadness. All kinds of feelings came up, leaving her stunned.
After a while, he suddenly stood up: "No! If we don't do something, I'm afraid we will really have no chance in the future!"
There were only the Marquise and her sister Angel in the room. Angel's face was much simpler than that of her sister. This girl rarely saw Du Wei in recent days. It seemed that her heart had become a lot lighter. She was just a girl.
Huaichun, it's easy to look away from this kind of thing... But if you don't look away, you really won't be able to pull back ten cows.
And Angel happens to live in the Duke's Mansion. Although he can't see Du Wei these days, he can be seen inside and outside the Duke's Mansion, from top to bottom. Everyone talks about this young Duke and praises him to the sky.
There are few who are unparalleled on the ground. What about repelling tens of thousands of troops outside the city with one arrow, what about bravely breaking into the base camp of the Northwest Army, what about joining forces with Governor Bohan, what about benevolence and caring for the people. What about rectifying military affairs so that the prairie people dare not look away, what a joke
The grassland messenger is carrying forward the country's prestige...and so on.
Just imagine, she was originally a young girl with a child in her heart, and she had a single-minded admiration for Du Wei. If she were allowed to stay away from here and return to her hometown, I'm afraid it would gradually fade away. But she happened to be in the northwest, and she was there all day long.
All I hear and see at night is how dazzling the Tulip Duke is...
As time went by, Du Wei's image in her heart became taller and taller. Those words clearly created a vivid young man in the girl's heart, who was smart, kind, funny, brave and had all kinds of benefits.
Hero! But this young hero has an enviable family background, a dazzlingly handsome appearance, and an enviable talent!
How can you let this girl forget such a person?
Compared to the Marquise's deep contemplation, Angel's reaction was much simpler. There was a hint of loss and sadness between her brows, her eyes turned red, and she almost shed tears.
The Marquis glanced at her sister, sighed softly, and put her arms around her shoulders. She said softly: "Angel, I know you feel aggrieved... But I had already anticipated this matter. But I didn't
I didn’t expect it would come so quickly.”
Angel suddenly raised her head and stared at her sister. There was a trace of strangeness in her eyes, and she said calmly: "Sister...haven't you given up now? Are you really still thinking about marrying him?"
Mrs. Liszt looked at Angel and couldn't help showing a hint of shame on her face, and whispered: "You understand the truth. Women of our Liszt family are born with this fate."
After saying that, she sighed, let go of her sister, turned around, and her voice became much calmer: "Duwei likes that female magician. I've known for a long time. I've also thought about it, he probably wants to
Although Vivian, who married that female magician, is not a noble, her status and background are probably not lower than ours."
"But now he is already engaged!" Angel suddenly called out in a hoarse voice: "You! Sister! With your status, do you still plan to marry the Duke... to be his, his..."
After all, she is the daughter of a noble family. At the end of the sentence, she finally paused.
"Humph, you are right." Mrs. Lister's voice was not loud, but her tone was very firm: "Even if I am not a wife and do not have the title of Duchess, I will still marry him!"
She finally turned around and looked at Angel: "You must understand my painstaking efforts! Angel, it's not that I'm competing with you, but I've told you before: men like women for two reasons. First,
He just likes this woman, no matter whether she is ugly, beautiful, smart, stupid, or whatever, she just makes him like her! For example, this female mage Vivian falls into this category. And you, Angel, you have come into contact with her
Du Wei a few times, he doesn't seem to like you. And the second thing... What men like is women who are helpful and useful to them! I ask myself that I can't do the first point, but... what I am working hard on now is
I hope I can impress him with this second point! I don’t expect to compete with that Vivian for his heart, but I will make him understand that I, Lan Liszt, can bring huge help to his career! As long as this
Once you catch him, you can't help but be tempted."
Having said this, Mrs. Liszt lowered her head and thought carefully, her eyes flashing in her wonderful eyes. In a moment, she had a clue, and she smiled and said: "Well, I am also curious, why did this Duke get engaged?
The news came so suddenly... I was a little confused just now, but now I calm down, I can think about it. I heard a few days ago that he might be going back to the imperial capital at the end of the year, and he might go back this time. I don't know how many wealthy families are staring at him.
The marriage may cause too much trouble when the time comes, so I got engaged here before going back to avoid too much entanglement and harassment. It is also a good idea... Well, but I'm afraid things are not that simple. If it's just
With his status, he could have refused marriages between wealthy families in other places, but they forced him to get engaged in such a hasty manner, I'm afraid..."
At this point, Mrs. Lister's eyes lit up, but her casual look became more worried: "Could it be that the royal family also has intentions of marrying him? Hmm. It is indeed not easy to refuse the royal family, and the only way is to find an important woman to get engaged first.
, the idea of being able to defeat the royal family... Come to think of it, this is why Du Wei got engaged in such a hurry!"
Analyzing this soliloquy, if Du Wei and Philip were present, I am afraid they would immediately be impressed by the Marquise. She is indeed a strong woman who supports a family by herself, with just one claw.
With all the clues and speculations in his mind, he almost figured out everything.
Having said this, Mrs. Lister's eyes flashed with determination, and she suddenly looked up at Angel.
"Sister, sister?" Angel felt faintly uneasy. The look in her sister's eyes was too strange, as if she wanted to...
"Angel, I can't take any more risks." Mrs. Lister's voice was firm: "I originally wanted to take it step by step slowly, and eventually I could make Du Wei fall in love. But now it seems that there are many things that cannot allow me to wait any longer...
Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. Du Wei is about to return to the imperial capital. If the royal family marries him again, then even if the daughter of my dignified Liszt family finally marries him, she will be reduced to the third wife...
...I can't swallow this kind of shame no matter what! Although it's unlikely, I can't take this kind of risk! Now it seems that we can only... we can only use some special methods!"
After saying that, Mrs. Lister looked determined: "Angel, go and do something for me and ask someone to buy me a few things... Well, there should be a pharmacy in Loulan City. I'll write down a few things for you.
Bought it for me, as well as the Louis Secret wine we brought from home, and a small barrel. You can also ask someone to carry it in for me... I can be of use!"
"Sister?" Angel looked confused. Before she could ask again, Mrs. Lister suddenly raised her voice and shouted: "Go quickly!!"
In less than two hours, all the things Mrs. List requested were ready. Angel didn't understand why her sister suddenly asked her to buy these medicinal herbs. She had read the list, and it was nothing more than a few soothing herbs.
Medications that calm and even relieve fatigue and help people sleep peacefully are not heavy in weight. Although these things are precious, she has taken them on a daily basis, and there is nothing strange about them.
Angel was still a little confused at first. The Duke, Du Wei, was an outstanding pharmacist. What kind of medicinal materials were not available in the Duke's palace? Why go to the city to buy them? However, she did not dare to disobey her sister's strict order.
Two white-feathered knights brought a barrel of wine secretly brewed by the Lister family. This wine comes from the brewing technology of the Nanyang indigenous people. Although the Nanyang indigenous people are far behind the Roland continent in all aspects of civilization, their brewing technology is quite advanced.
There is something unique about it. The wine from Nanyang is far better than the wine from Roland Continent in terms of dryness and mellow taste. Therefore, there is a huge market for Nanyang wine on the mainland. And the Liszt family naturally relies on their maritime trade.
The wine business has made a fortune.
This barrel of "Louis' secret brew" is the best of the best. It was originally prepared to entertain distinguished guests. When I came to the northwest this time, I brought a barrel with me in the car, and now I still have less than half of it.
"Everyone, get out." Mrs. Lister's face was as dark as water: "Everyone outside closes the door and withdraws ten steps away. Anyone who dares to walk around randomly or eavesdrop on a word will be expelled from the family immediately!"
She has been in charge of the family for many years, so she naturally has authority. The white feather knight quickly bowed and retreated, executing her orders meticulously.
Seeing that Angel was about to go out, Mrs. Lister stopped her.
"Sister... you don't have to avoid this matter." Mrs. Lister sighed, with a solemn expression: "I will tell you sooner or later anyway, and I also need your help on this matter."
Then Mrs. Lister walked to an exquisite floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room, gently stroked her long, snow-white neck with both hands, then gently clamped a pendant on her neck with two fingers, and slowly took it off.
Come down.
This is a human-shaped hanging cone, with a faint silver color all over. It is a miniature human-shaped statue, but it is a graceful woman kneeling with her arms folded, her head bowed in prayer. The carving is extremely exquisite and detailed, even the woman
Every trace of hair is vividly drawn.
At first glance, it looks like something very old. Although the chain is new, there is a faint shine on the hanging cone, which is obviously the result of frequent rubbing.
"You recognize this thing?" Mrs. Lister smiled slightly, held the hanging cone in her palm, and then stretched out her hand to spread it out.
"I recognize it." Angel whispered: "This is passed down to you by your father. It is also a token of the patriarch of our Liszt family."
"It's not just a token." Mrs. Liszt shook her head and whispered: "It is also a big secret of our Liszt family."
After saying that, she gently took her sister's hand and said softly: "Take a closer look at this statue. What's so special about it?"
Angel followed the words and tentatively stretched out her hand to pick up the small pendant, feeling a little uneasy. She had seen this thing since she was a child. She remembered that when she was a child, she once stretched out her hand to touch it out of curiosity.
This made my sister very angry and scolded her severely.
Mrs. Lister was usually very good to her younger sister and younger brother. She took care of her gently and never scolded her harshly. But that time, she was just a child's curiosity and tried to take a look at this small pendant. But it attracted...
In response to her sister's thunderous anger, she even punished herself to spend a day in closed door to reflect. This made the young An Qier's memory so profound that she never dared to think about this thing again.
At this moment, my sister actually gave this thing to me to watch at will, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Looking at her sister's expression, Mrs. Lister sighed and said softly: "It's okay. When you were young, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to keep secrets. Now that you are older... I have to let you know."
After saying that, he took the initiative to put this thing into Angel's hand.
Angel held it in her hand and felt the thing was cold to the touch. There was also a hint of coldness. She brought it closer to her eyes and took a closer look. As expected, there was something different about this small pendant statue.
First of all, there is this statue of a woman, with her head bowed in prayer. Her face is hidden and cannot be seen clearly. There are only two subtle protrusions on the hair and both sides of her head. These two positions are extremely subtle. If you don't get closer, you can't see clearly.
Look, you can't see it at all.
Turning around the back of the small pendant, I unexpectedly discovered that there was something slightly different on the back of the statue of a woman. The statue of a woman seemed to be naked, without any clothes on.
Underneath, there seemed to be two very fine scratches faintly. I looked at it suddenly and didn't think anything. It was probably because of the passage of time that I accidentally scratched the traces left behind. But if I look carefully,
But I saw something unusual. The position of these two scratches is very subtle, and the shape and position of the two scratches are completely symmetrical! If they were accidentally worn, then it is absolutely impossible to make them so symmetrical and accurate.
.
"This..." Angel raised his head.
"This was passed down from my father to me, from my father's father..." Mrs. Lister smiled slightly, reached out and gently touched Angel's hair: "My sister, this statue woman, is actually our ancestor.
...She is not a human being. In other words, you and I, all of us in the List family, are not purely human beings."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lister's expression showed a hint of sadness: "Unfortunately, our race has long been extinct on this continent. To this day, our identity and bloodline are the biggest secrets. If
Once leaked, the temples on the mainland will regard us as heretics... No matter how big and rich our family is, we will be eradicated without hesitation! Angel... You have read the book, and it is recorded in the book that the temples have
You should know very well about those heretics and burning them at the stake."
Angel's mouth opened wide in surprise, and just as she was about to scream, she instinctively reached out and covered her mouth with force. Her eyes were widened, and she looked at her sister in surprise.
Seeing her sister's fear, Mrs. Lister had some pity in her eyes. She touched her sister's hair tenderly and whispered: "This is the biggest secret of our family! You, me...and the Muse, the three of us have
, all have non-human blood... The true identity of this statue woman is... an elf."
"Elf, elf?"
"It's an elf." Mrs. Lister smiled: "I'm afraid there are very few records of elves on the mainland. It's not surprising that you haven't seen it. Elves are a race that is born with magical powers. Their appearance
They are very similar to humans, but they have many special abilities that humans do not have. They are close to nature. Their bodies are fragile, and their living habits and language are different from humans. The most important thing is that this race has a kind and weak character, and also has an innate
Pride. Everyone on the continent thinks that the children of our Liszt family are all handsome... But they don’t know that this is all because we have elven blood. But this matter must not be leaked.
If we go out and let outsiders know, we will be in danger of destroying our family, do you understand?"
Angel's face turned pale. As a young girl, she suddenly knew such a big secret, and her mood immediately became extremely heavy: "I...I...I know."
"Okay, you don't have to be too burdened. I will take care of everything, so you don't have to worry too much. You can just be the same as before. It's okay." Even so, Mrs. Lister's eyes
A hint of worry flashed through her: The old magician in green clothes now knows this secret, and Du Wei also knows it... Sigh.
Gritting her teeth, Mrs. Lister took the small statue and turned it around in her hand. She didn't know where she touched it lightly. There was a slight click, and the statue's arms folded femininely slightly.
Open it a little. Then something the size of a grain of rice rolled out from the sculpture's hands and landed in Mrs. List's palm.
This thing is only the size of a grain of rice, showing a dark red color, but with a strange fragrance. If you stare at it for a few more times, you will seem to vaguely see its color changing from red to lighter, and then it will transform into several types.
The different colors are like an illusion.
"This is?"
"This is the only wealth left by our ancestors." Mrs. Lister whispered: "Our ancestors are flower elves in the elves. According to the natural laws of elves, flower elves are in charge of the flowers, plants and trees in nature.
Race, so... this thing is actually the fruit of a strange flower. But now, this plant has long been extinct on the mainland and will never appear again. This statue has been passed down from generation to generation, and there was originally something hidden inside.
There are more than a dozen of these fruits, but after they passed into my hands, only this last one is left."
When Mrs. Lister said this, her voice couldn't help but tremble: "When my father passed this thing to me, he told me that its name is the 'Millennium Eye'!"
Angel felt an inexplicable thought in her heart, and then she couldn't help but recited it in a low voice: "Thousand-Year Eyes..." Although she didn't know the meaning of this name yet, it seemed to be a strange feeling in her blood, and she couldn't help but
His body trembled, as if he faintly sensed something.
"I don't know much about the history and civilization of the elves. In fact, our father doesn't know much either. We are a mixture of elves and humans. Today, we are basically humans. The blood of the elves has been
Very thin. Moreover, these secrets have been passed down from generation to generation, and there are always gaps. What my father told me was only this little. I later searched a lot of documents in private, and I still didn’t know much about the elves.
.”
"Then... what is this 'Millennium Eye'... used for?"
Looking at her sister's puzzled expression, Mrs. Lister's eyes showed a hint of piety and she said slowly:
"I once heard from my father that the flower elves have the longest lifespan among the elves, and the longest ones can live for a thousand years. This 'thousand-year eye' is said to be the love fruit of the flower elves! This is a magical
It is said that when the flower elves are courting a mate, as long as two elves jointly remove a fruit, split it in two, and drink it at the same time...then they will fall in love!"
Angel's eyes lit up: "Falling in love?"
"That's right. Falling in love." Mrs. Lister whispered: "The way to use it is that after two people take it at the same time, and then when the two people look at each other and make eye contact, it will trigger the energy in the fruit.
The magic power turns the eyes into love, and from then on they become a couple in love..."
Angel only felt her heart beating loudly: "As long as you eat it...and then look at each other? Eye contact, that's it?"
Mrs. Lister glanced at her sister: "That's it...what, do you want to use it?"
Angel blushed and her mind started to work, but then she suddenly thought that when her sister took out this thing, she might not necessarily use it for me... but for her own use.
Thinking of this, the girl's face instantly turned pale.
When Mrs. Liszt saw her sister's face change, she knew what she was thinking. She sighed softly and whispered: "Sister... although this thing is magical, I can't let you use it. It can only be used by me."
"Why...why!!" Angel suddenly shouted: "Since you have such a thing, why didn't you take it out earlier! If you had given me this thing earlier, I...I..."
"You don't have to suffer like this anymore, right? That's what you want to say." Mrs. Lister sighed: "Don't hate me, the reason why I didn't bring this thing out before is because
, try not to use this thing when you can't use it...because this thing will also cause great harm to the flower elves themselves."
"harm?"
Mrs. Lister smiled bitterly, and then slowly uttered a cruel word: "Loss of life!"
Then her tone gradually turned cold: "Father told me that pure flower elves can have a lifespan of up to a thousand years, but... once you reuse this magic fruit, it is equivalent to using your own lifespan in exchange for love!
Flower elves who take this kind of thing will lose more than half of their lifespan under the influence of magic. My father also told me that because the elven blood in our blood is already very thin, our lifespan cannot be as long as the real one.
Like the flower elves, for example, my father himself...he only lived seventy years before he died. Such a lifespan is not much different from that of humans. As for you and me, the real lifespan should be about the same. If you take this thing
, neither you nor I, I'm afraid, at most, at most... will not live past the age of forty."
When I said the last few words, my voice was obviously trembling.
When these words came out, Angel was shocked.
Mrs. Liszt smiled miserably: "Sister, in addition to running the family well, my life's wish is that you and Muse can have a happy life. I...I have dedicated my whole life to the family, but
But I don’t want you and Muse to be like me! Do you understand? You are young and beautiful, and you will naturally have a brilliant life in the future... We have elf blood, and your beauty and youth can last for a long time, such as our father
, he still looks so young and handsome when he is sixty years old. You have a great life, and I will not allow you to live short!"
Angel's heart trembled, and she suddenly shouted: "No! No, sister! You, if you want to eat this thing, then you... then you..."
"Then I don't have a few years to live." Mrs. Lister's voice was very calm, as if she didn't care at all: "As long as I can make him fall in love with me, I will let him marry me as soon as possible! Marry him as soon as possible, and then...
...I will try my best to give birth to a child as soon as possible! In this way, even if I die in a few years, my wish will be fulfilled! Angel, our family needs an heir!"
"But, but this won't work... it won't work..." Angel suddenly cried: "But if this happens, you... I don't want you to die early!" She finally cried out and went up to hug her.
Mrs Lister.
Mrs. Lister allowed her sister to hug her and let her cry for a while, then she gently broke away and whispered: "I have decided, and now things force me to do this."
Angel was still crying, but Mrs. Lister smiled slightly and said softly: "My sister, I know you like Du Wei in your heart... Well, after I die in the future, he will take good care of you in consideration of my affection.
Well, at that time, you may not have a chance... and fortunately..."
She forced a smile and said: "Fortunately, my father told me that the side effects of this thing are only effective for the elves. In other words, the loss of life will only harm us people with elven blood, but Du Wei will not lose life.
.”
Seeing that Angel was still crying, Mrs. Lister hardened her heart, gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Okay! Don't cry anymore! Tonight is when Du Wei gets engaged. We are pressed for time. Now you can help me use these medicines to make wine."
Among them, these drugs have a calming effect and can also mask the aroma of the fruit. At the engagement ceremony in the evening, you and I will toast to Du Wei! At that time..."
She stretched out a slender finger and scratched the "Millennium Eye" hard with her thin nails, splitting it in two...
Although Du Wei's engagement ceremony was a bit hasty, Du Wei was rich after all and had purchased everything he needed.
All the generals under Du Wei's command who were in the city were naturally present. There were also two disciples of Master Alec, who were also present, as well as Count Villa and representatives of several large-scale business groups. In the city
Everyone also came to congratulate him.
In the evening, when the sun has just set and the lanterns are on, Lord Tulip Duke's engagement dinner officially begins!
In the largest banquet hall in the Duke's Palace, Du Wei's fifteenth birthday coming-of-age ceremony was just held here a few months ago, and now, his engagement ceremony will be held here.
There were hundreds of guests gathered in the banquet hall. In addition to people from Du Wei's side, there were also officials from Governor Bohan and several officials who had been communicating with Du Wei about conscription matters here in Roland City. They were also present.
Congratulations. There are also several senior officers among the 6,000 imperial cavalry stationed in the prairie selected by Longbottom, etc...
According to the customs in Roland Continent, when the engagement party begins, the woman does not show up. The man entertains many guests first and enjoys fine wine and food. After the time is set, the woman shows up. Then under the auspices of the family elders
, the engagement ceremony was completed in public.
And now. The dinner party has just started, and Vivian has not shown up yet. At this moment, Xiao Nizi is experiencing the biggest happy event in her life. She is full of joy and shy, and is still hiding in the room. Several maids, maids, and etiquette people,
They were all nervously dressing up this beautiful girl.
In the banquet hall, Du Wei no longer knew how many words of congratulations and compliments he had received, nor could he remember how many "thank you" he had said.
The last ceremony is the most interesting custom in the Roland continent.
All the guests who arrived in the evening had to line up and take turns toasting to Du Wei individually, drinking one by one! If all the guests' toasts were not finished, then the next step of the ceremony would not be possible!
This meaning is: the road to love is as fragrant and intoxicating as fine wine.
Although the intention is good, if you drink like this, most of the engaged men on the mainland will be drunk, and it can be considered a joke.
Mrs. Lister and her sister stood at the end of all the guests, waiting for Du Wei to accept the toasts from the guests one by one. After waiting for a long time, it was finally their turn.
Fortunately, everyone knew Du Wei's identity and did not dare to be too presumptuous and did not dare to drink Du Wei's wine. Although they took turns to toast, they only drank half a cup and only tasted it. So Du Wei was only slightly tipsy, but he was not.
Not really drunk.
Finally, when we arrived at Mrs. Liszt's place, the crowd around her suddenly became quiet! Many people's eyes were fixed on Mrs. Liszt, and their eyes were quite strange.
After all, the news that the Liszt family took the initiative to propose a marriage to Du Wei has spread a lot. Today, Du Wei is engaged to someone else's woman. The expressions on the faces of people around looking at Mrs. Liszt are quite interesting.
Mrs. Lister looked calm, and Angel beside her was holding a small wine bottle in her hands.
This pair of charming sisters really makes people's hearts flutter under the light.
People can't help but think of how, just a few months ago, in the same banquet hall, Mrs. Liszt kissed Du Wei in public...
But now, things have changed and the male protagonist is about to marry another woman. Mrs. Lister must be in a bad mood.
Especially this Miss Angel, there have long been rumors that the two sisters of the Liszt family have a crush on the Duke. Now everyone seems to think that Mrs. Liszt is older after all and has a calm look. Even if she is in any mood,
They all restrained themselves.
This Miss Angel, on the other hand, seemed to have a sad look on her face. Her beautiful face was full of worries, and her sad and sweet look really broke the hearts of many men.
Everyone thought that Miss Angel was hurt by love, but this was not entirely true. Most of Angel's current sadness was for her sister! Because once she ate that thing during a toast... her sister would only have a few years to live.
Live!
At this time, Angel, who was holding the wine bottle, suddenly had the urge to smash the wine bottle in her hand, but she did not dare to do so under her sister's strict order.
Among the guests, there were quite a few people with malicious intentions who wondered: Will there be an interesting scene involving three women competing for one husband tonight?
Let's take a look at what Mrs. Liszt said when she toasted.
Du Wei walked up to the Marquise. He looked a little embarrassed, but after he smiled, he became calm.
"Marquise." Du Wei bowed slightly: "Thank you for coming."
Mrs. Liszt shook her head, sighed lightly, and then said with a smile: "You're welcome, Duke. It's an honor for us to be invited here by you. Please... please accept my blessing."
After speaking, she nodded to Angel beside her.
Angel suddenly shook his hand and the wine bottle he was holding shook.
Du Wei saw it, but he had no idea. He just thought that the girl was still thinking of him, and was sad at the moment. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, and whispered softly: "Miss Angel... thank you too."
But Angel didn't look at Du Wei, she just looked at her sister deeply, the meaning in her eyes was something Du Wei couldn't understand.
Mrs. Lister's expression remained unchanged, she raised her hand to take the wine bottle from Angel's hand, and poured two glasses of wine gently.
She made subtle movements, and when she was pouring wine, the "Millennium Eye" that was divided into two halves, which was originally hidden in her fingernail, fell into the two wine glasses with a slight shake.
She did it very secretly. Du Wei in front of her was a little absent-minded. Naturally, no one noticed.
Although Mrs. Lister was calm on the surface, she was also a little sad in her heart...
Du Wei, Du Wei. What sacrifices I have made to marry you!
Well, after drinking this glass of wine, when you and I look at each other, you will fall in love with me... and I will fall in love with you too!
Although I don’t have a few years left to live, but... in the remaining few years of my life, I hope you can treat me well!
Thinking of this, my heart skipped a beat, and I reached out to pick up the wine glass...
At this moment, I suddenly heard a woman's indifferent voice coming from behind: "Du Wei, you are getting engaged, why don't you invite me?"
The voice was soft and sweet, but the tone was very indifferent.
All the guests in the room looked back one after another... At this look, everyone couldn't help but be surprised! Some even couldn't help but sigh...
What a beautiful woman!
The woman who walked in was wearing an extremely simple plain robe, with her golden hair flowing down. The beauty of her face was really difficult to describe in any words.
Even after taking a few more glances, you will feel as if you are intimidated by her beauty, which is a kind of blasphemy to her, and many people can't help but feel a vague fear in their hearts.
This woman is so beautiful that it's scary.
Her lips seemed to lack color, but as she walked step by step, her body was graceful, which made her thoughts wander.
The most sighing thing is... this woman has her eyes closed. Her face is so beautiful and exquisite. How beautiful would those eyes be if they were opened?
This time, I can only imagine it myself. (Of course, people who have this idea may not know that if this beauty really opens her eyes, most people in the venue will be unlucky.)
When a woman like her walked in, all the female guests except Mrs. Lister were outdone by her! Even Angel was inferior by half a point!
Needless to say, this woman who rivals Mrs. Lister in beauty is, of course, Her Majesty Queen Medusa, alias Miss Nicole...
When Queen Medusa appeared, most of the people present had never seen her. The only ones who were familiar with her were Hussein and Dardanelle. Dardaniel looked even more nervous.
Staring at the queen carefully, for fear that she might accidentally open her eyes... that would cause a big fuss!
"Duwei."
Just when everyone was shocked by Medusa's beauty, Medusa had already spoken and said lightly: "You really make me a little angry. What did you promise me when you took me out of your home?"
?But since I followed you out, you always leave me alone. If so, forget it. I know you are very busy, but today, you didn’t even invite me. Don’t you know, Wei?
Are Wei An and I familiar with each other?"
After saying these words, many people nearby who didn't know the inside story began to speculate.
Hmm... I thought it was three women fighting for a husband, but now it's going to turn into four women fighting for a husband?
As for the sentence "What did you promise me when you brought me out of the house..." This kind of reproach may be misunderstood by others!
Medusa sighed softly and said: "I don't blame you anymore. When I came in just now, I heard that at such a time, as your friend, I have to toast you... Well, according to your rules
Standard, I should be considered your friend, right?"
Although Queen Medusa is terrifying in strength, she is not human after all, and she does not understand any human etiquette and rules.
When she said a toast, she had to give a toast. How could she care about so many things?
But the toasting ceremony has come to an end. Where is the wine on the table?
Except... Mrs. Lister's two cups!
Queen Medusa didn't know much about the world, so she casually walked to Mrs. Liszt's side, reached out and picked up the two wine glasses.
Mrs. Liszt was startled and was about to stop her... But how powerful is Queen Medusa? How could Mrs. Liszt, an ordinary woman, have the ability to stop her?
With a slight sway, Miss Nicole easily took the two cups, handed one to Du Wei, and said with a faint smile: "Okay, today is just another lesson you taught me. Remember, don't always give in."
I'm bored alone, it's really boring."
After saying that, he picked up the cup and said, "Is this how you propose a toast? Do you want to drink it directly?"
Du Wei smiled slightly and drank the wine in one gulp without thinking too much.
Queen Medusa also smiled, picked up the cup, and raised her head like Du Wei...
Drink it!
"don't want!"
"ah!"
The Liszt sisters shouted at the same time, but how could they do it in time?
Seeing Queen Medusa and Du Wei finish drinking, the empty wine glasses were already placed on the table...
Mrs. Liszt stared at Medusa, and then at Du Wei... She was completely disappointed.
"Thousand-Year Eye"...the last "Thousand-Year Eye"!!
Angel's thoughts were much simpler. She was surprised at first, but then felt a little relaxed.
After all, although the plan was ruined by this beautiful woman who suddenly appeared, after all, this way, my sister would not have to die early.
It's just... this beauty with her eyes closed, as long as she opens her eyes and looks at Du Wei, the two of them will fall in love with each other, right?
However, what the innocent Angel probably didn't expect now is that... if she drinks these two glasses of wine...
