Chapter 1193
At these words, the Duchess paused in cutting her steak and her face froze, but quickly returned to her natural self and said with a smile, “You will soon be married, you should be closer.”
“Yes.” Leng Qianxue raised the corners of her lips, “Louis and I have been friends for so many years, we’ve always been close.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Louie hastily agreed, “Mummy, me and Qianxue ……”
“To what?” The Duchess interrupted Louie with an unpleasant whisper, “The closeness I’m talking about is not the closeness of friends, you’re such an adult, don’t you understand?”
These words seemed to be a lecture to Louis, but in fact, they were meant for Leng Qianxue to hear.
Louis was dumbfounded by the Duchess’s yelling, not knowing why his mother was suddenly scolding him.
“Let nature take its course in matters of affection, the water will come out.” Leng Qianxue explained unhurriedly, “If you pull up the seedlings, it will be counterproductive!”
Leng Qianxue said the word “plucking the seedlings to help them grow” in a deep and meaningful way.
The duchess instantly understood what she meant, she thought she had done it without moving, but in fact Leng Qianxue had already seen through everything, she just didn’t reveal it.
“Madam.” Leng Qianxue raised her gla*s to the duchess, an elegant smile tucked on her lips.
The Duchess instantly adjusted her expression and raised her cup in response, “Qianxue, as a mother, I just wish you well, after all, the marriage between the two of you is not just a matter for two people, but also for two families.”
These words were secretly putting pressure on Leng Qianxue, telling her to always remember that she was carrying the responsibility.
“Madam is right.” Leng Qianxue drained her cup of wine in one go, and then said with a smile, “My brother is very supportive of this marriage, because he thinks that Louis is simple and pure, sincere and a person worthy of trust.”
“That’s for sure.” The Duchess smiled with satisfaction.
“To take care of us, he sent his best a*sistants around him.” Leng Qianxue continued, “You still don’t know, do you? Leng Gang is the person by my brother’s side.”
Hearing this, the Duchess was stunned for a moment, in that case, wouldn’t L know everything that was happening here?
“My brother is busy these days, I didn’t dare to disturb him, and I will have to properly apologise to him in a few days.” Leng Qianxue said ashamedly, “I promised him that I would take good care of the three children, I’ve only been here for a few days and I’ve lost one by one, I’m afraid he would be unhappy if he knew about it.”
“This, I am also responsible for this matter.”
The duchess was already a little flustered, these words from Leng Qianxue were clearly telling her that not only did Leng Qianxue see the tricks she was playing behind her back, but Leng Di Feng would also know all about it.
“It was my men who acted badly, it has nothing to do with madam.” Leng Qianxue hurriedly said, “Besides, that time was an accident, fortunately it was a scare, as long as it doesn’t happen again.”
“It won’t, I have already strengthened the security and guard, and also installed surveillance, so nothing like that will happen again.” Louis hastened to explain.
“Louis is right.” The Duchess added, “I also instructed my maids to be careful to keep the children safe the next time they play with them.”
“Thank you for your hard work.” Leng Qianxue curled her lips.
“I’m done eating and ready to go to therapy.” Leng Qianxue put down her cutlery and said to Louis, “Louis, you remember to take your medicine and then get some rest.”
“Mm-hmm.” Louis nodded his head.
Leng Qianxue bowed to the duchess, and then, got up and left ……
The duchess looked at her deeply, her eyes were complicated and hard to say ……
“Mummy, I’m going back to my room too.” Louis also went away.
The duchess finally lost her temper, slammed her gla*s down on the table and left in anger ……
When she returned to her room, Demiya only whispered, “It’s really unpredictable, Miss Leng looks so young, but she didn’t expect to be so powerful, she’s warning us with every word.”
Chapter1194
“It seems I have really underestimated her.”
The more the Duchess thought about it, the angrier she became, having lived to this age, she had never been so aggrieved, let alone from her future daughter-in-law.
“So …… what do we do now?” Demielle asked tentatively.
The Duchess took an elegant sip of her coffee, and when she raised her eyes, she instantly had a different face: “That’s said as if I’m struggling with my future daughter-in-law ……”
“Uh….” Demielle froze, not knowing how to answer.
“It was indeed our fault that the boy got lost last time, and if L knew about it, I wouldn’t be able to give a good account of it.” The Duchess ordered solemnly, “So, these days, you have to be honest with me and don’t make any more mistakes.”
“Yes.” The maids bowed their heads and received their orders.
“Be polite to the Leng family, especially those children, and Dr. Hua, be respectful.” The Duchess warned seriously, “Including those two girls, Leng Bing and Leng Mo, they must not be offended either, do you understand?”
“Understood, madam.”
“Don’t do anything these days.” The Duchess instructed Demielle again, “Just take care of your cousin.”
“Yes.” Demielle nodded her head.
Meanwhile, Leng Qianxue had her lunch and took Leng Mo to the garden to visit Si Bao, who had also gotten wet yesterday and was now said to have a bit of a cold.
“What a relief just now.” Seeing no one around, Leng Mo couldn’t help but whisper, “The duchess was so disliked that she couldn’t say a word, her face was blue for a while.”
“What’s being said?” Leng Qianxue frowned, “I don’t dislike her, I’m just talking about the matter and reasoning with her.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Leng Mo nodded her head repeatedly and said playfully, “Our Miss Leng is the most reasonable.”
Leng Qianxue gave her a blank look and asked rather casually, “Have you been in touch with Hai lately?”
“Huh?” Hearing this question, Leng Mo’s expression instantly turned gloomy as she said sadly, “I’ve only called twice since returning to E, and I’ve even cut off contact directly after coming to Bordeaux.”
Here she became indignant again, “Dog man, just ignore me, it’s not like I have to have him, big deal, find a new one.”
“He’s the one who broke off contact with you?” Leng Qianxue asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”
“I don’t know.” Leng’s voice was sour, “Maybe it’s because Chief Night won’t let him contact me, or maybe he has another new love.”
“Ah Hai isn’t that kind of person.”
Leng Qianxue’s brow furrowed as she began to realise that something might have really happened to Night Zhen Ting ……
In order to keep her out of the loop, he had only asked Ah Hai to disconnect from Leng Mo.
“Then why is he ignoring me? Even the phone number has changed.” The more Leng Mo said, the more aggrieved he became, “I even thought about going to ask for instructions from Sir for his sake, but he actually backed out first ……”
“Don’t think nonsense.”
Leng Qianxue patted her shoulder and then walked towards the place where Si Bao lived.
The attendant was feeding medicine to Four Treasures, which was originally hitching up absently, lying in the study room and not bothering to move.
But when it saw Leng Qianxue, it immediately flew over.
Leng Qianxue raised her hand and let Si Bao land on it. Looking at its emaciated appearance, she was a little distressed and gently stroked its feathers, gently admonishing, “Rest well at home these few days, get well soon.”
“Gu Gu, Gu Gu.”
The four treasures meekly barked a few times, and then, the head gestured towards the distant woods again.
“What’s there?” Leng Qianxue twisted her head to look at the woods and immediately ordered alertly, “Go and take a look.”
“Yes.” Leng Mo led the men to check, and more than half an hour later, she returned twisting a rabbit to report, “Miss Leng, nothing was found, only this.”
“It’s good that it’s okay, be cautious and careful in everything these days.”
“Understood.”
