Chapter 1175
The duchess was left alone and couldn’t help but feel a little awkward, she turned her head to look at Tatsu and was about to speak ……
Tatsu immediately said politely, “Grandma Duchess, I’ve already eaten breakfast and am going back to my room to read! Enjoy your meal.”
With that, Chen Chen performed a salute, then turned around and left ……
The smile on the duchess’s face was a little stiff, she had put so much effort into getting on good terms with the few children, but they didn’t seem to be buying it.
“These children are so rude.” One of the maids said unhappily.
“That’s right, it’s an honour for the Duchess to have breakfast with them.” Another waitress whispered, “No understanding of noble etiquette at all, not like the children of a powerful family.”
“Shut up!” The duchess shouted, “That’s Mr. Leng’s child, you dare to talk behind his back, don’t you want to die?”
The two waitresses bowed their heads in panic, not daring to breathe a word.
“But those two older ones ……,” the corners of the Duchess’s lips curved up in a shallow curve, “seem to know better.”
“Maybe the older ones need to know better.” The chambermaid said softly.
“It’s best to know how to behave.” The duchess was very condescending, “Since they want to enter our Louis family, they should know better, and if they don’t know who their father is, they’d better stay out of my sight in the future as well ……”
In order to avoid a complicated relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the old duke did not tell her the identity of the father of Leng Qianxue’s children.
“How dare you, Miss Leng climbed into a family like ours, that man is afraid to look away.” The waitress laughed.
“Hush, Miss Leng come!”
Demielle suddenly whispered a reminder.
The two waitresses hurriedly shut up, not daring to say any more.
“Aiya, Qianxue, you’re up?” As soon as the Duchess turned around, a cordial smile lifted up on her face again, “Why don’t you sleep more?”
“It’s a beautiful day, and I promised to accompany the children on their horseback ride today.” Leng Qianxue smiled and said, “Has madam had breakfast? Let’s join you.”
“Sure.” The duchess’s smile stiffened slightly.
The maids beside her frowned, as if something was wrong.
Leng Qianxue was a little puzzled but ignored it.
At this time, Louis also arrived, and the three of them had breakfast together in a cordial atmosphere.
After breakfast, the duchess said she wanted to go to the farm and Louis was just about to say that he would go with her when Leng Qianxue said that she had promised to accompany the children on a horse ride.
The maids’ faces stiffened.
The duchess, however, said it was all right and asked with a smile if she could join in, as she was also very good at riding horses.
Leng Qianxue was actually reluctant, but had no choice but to gladly accept.
The group then took a carriage ride to the horse farm.
Leng Qianxue took the children in a large carriage, and the children were bouncing and jumping around in the carriage, very happy.
Chen Chen, on the other hand, looked at a vast gra*sland in front of him and couldn’t help but sigh, “If only Erbao were here, he would love to ride horses.”
“Don’t you like it?” Leng Qianxue stroked his little head.
“All sports and athletics, I’m not good at them.” Chen Chen said helplessly, “I’m only good at using my brain.”
“It’s better to develop in all aspects.” Miss Leng said gently, “Look at you ……”
She was about to say, “Look at your daddy,” but quickly changed her mind, “Your uncle is a man of letters, a man of war, and a man of courage!”
“So is my daddy.” Chen Chen picked up.
Leng Qianxue was suddenly dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond.
Chen Chen didn’t say anything more, just fiddling with the tablet in his hand, he liked to play with electronics, not games, but researching software and IT technology.
“I miss daddy and Erbao too.” Yue pouted, resigned, “I wonder when I’ll get to see them.”
“Soon, 39 days to go.”
Leng Qianxue blurted out, and only after she finished did she realise how quickly time had pa*sed ……
Chapter 1176
The weather was sunny and clear.
Leng Qianxue carried the children down from the car one by one, and the children cheered happily when they looked at the endless gra*sland.
“Babies, let me take you to change your clothes.”
Coldly greeted the children.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, change your clothes.”
The three little ones ran and jumped after them, pulling Yue Yue with them.
“Slow down, don’t run.” Yue Yue was recovering from her illness and couldn’t outrun them.
“I envy them, they are so carefree and happy.” Tenzin looked at the three little ones and asked, “Mummy, when I was this big, was I this happy?”
“You were also very quiet at that time.” Leng Qianxue said with a smile, “When the second and third treasures were bouncing around, you were reading and writing next to them, and you still thought they were childish.”
“Ah, am I so old fashioned at just over two years old?” Tenzin was a little incredulous.
“You were quieter than both of them when you were a baby.” Leng Qianxue snickered, “Drinking milk all the more soberly.”
“Pfft-” Chen Chen cried out in laughter.
“Okay, go and change, Mummy will teach you to ride.” Leng Qianxue urged, “We need to develop our moral, intellectual and aesthetic skills in all aspects!”
“Mmmmmm.” Chen Chen followed his attendant to change his clothes.
Leng Qianxue went to the dressing room and prepared to change into professional riding clothes.
At this moment, Demi-er came in to get her things, and when she met Leng Qianxue, she hurriedly saluted respectfully, “Miss Leng!”
“We are all among ourselves, no need to be polite.” Leng Qianxue was very easy-going.
“Miss Leng, you are so nice ……”
Demiur looked at Leng Qianxue in a complicated way, as if she wanted to say something but didn’t.
“What do you have to say, you might as well say it straight.” Leng Qianxue smiled faintly.
“I know that the Leng Clan is a great family that is second to none in the world, you have a distinguished status, we dare not be negligent, there is just one thing that I have thought about, I don’t know if I should remind you.”
Demiya said very politely.
“Go ahead.” Leng Qianxue glanced at her in the mirror.
“The Duchess was born into the royal family, the royal family has complicated etiquette and many rules, sometimes things that look small to others actually need to be observed with respect ……”
Speaking here, Demiya explained again with trepidation, “Miss Leng, you must not misunderstand, I don’t mean anything else, I just simply want to remind you.”
“Understood.” Leng Qianxue smiled lightly, “I am used to being free and idle, thankfully the Duchess is tolerant and understanding, thank you for the reminder!”
Demielle bowed her head and said timidly, “I’ll go out first.”
“Hmm.” Leng Qianxue answered, looking at her back, her lips curving into a shallow arc ……
“Do you think that she really is simply a reminder?” Leng Bing took Leng Qianxue’s riding clothes out of the dressing room, “I think it’s something else.”
“Not enough.” Leng Qianxue didn’t put this little person in her eyes.
“Leng Mo has already inquired, this Demir is a cousin three generations removed from Duke Louis, her family has fallen on hard times, but she is very progressive, studied western medicine and surgery and followed the Duchess after graduating.”
Leng Bing said as she changed Leng Qianxue’s clothes, “Although she looks humble and polite, and puts her posture down so low that she can’t be picked out, I always feel that she is not right-minded.”
“You’re a cup and bow.” Leng Qianxue smiled faintly, “There’s a Ling Yun in front of me, so I’m wary of her too.”
“You’re right.” Leng Bing laughed bitterly, “I don’t know why, but when I see her, I think of Ling Yun.”
“You can’t look at people through tinted gla*ses either.” Leng Qianxue said objectively, “Without any evidence, we can’t wrongly accuse people, besides, even if she really covets something and is a bit ambitious, it’s normal, as long as she doesn’t harm anyone.”
“Don’t worry, I’m keeping an eye on her, I’ll never let her run amok.” Leng Bing said, “However, that comment she made just now actually has a point, I see that the Duchess was a bit upset this morning, probably because she thinks we don’t know our manners.”
