Healing the downtrodden S-class orcs, the little females are being snatched up

Chapter 163 Visitors.

Lu Xiao had calmed down from her surprise. When she heard Cecilia's words, she knew that the old lady in front of her was teasing her: "How could it be? I just didn't expect you to agree so easily. I thought I had to go through some test."

"Do you think there are no tests? The test started from the moment you walked in. But you are very good. You can't pretend to have good character." Cecilia was not stingy with praise for those she recognized, but she changed the subject and said, "But don't be too happy too soon. The Galliodero family can be your backer, but it is not without any return. I hope that one day when you become stronger, you will remember to repay your kindness."

From this moment on, after hearing these words, Lu Xiao really fell in love with the old lady with silver hair in front of her.

Cecilia was obviously very different from the females in the empire. She was a very thoughtful old lady.

The smile on Lu Xiao's face also became more sincere. She didn't say much to express her sincerity, but only said three words: "I will!"

Because most of the time, words are pale and powerless, and only at the critical moment, seeing what she will do is crucial.

Cecilia was very satisfied with her meeting with Lu Xiao today. After talking about important things, her eyes involuntarily looked at the gift that Lu Xiao brought.

She naturally recognized the tea leaves, which were in another delicate box, which made her a little curious: "What's in that box?"

Lu Xiao looked in the direction Cecilia pointed, then stood up and walked over with a smile: "I chose a pair of ornaments that represent good luck and fortune, and I thought you would like them when you see them."

As she spoke, she opened the box and took out a pair of white chubby cats, Tuanzi, who were snoring with their butts sticking up.

These two little things are not very big. Besides being displayed, you can also hold them in your hands and play with them.

As expected, Cecilia couldn't help but reach out to take it when she saw it: "This is so cute, why do you think I like it?"

“Because grandma is also a very lovely person!”

Cecilia didn't expect Lu Xiao to be so straightforward. After being surprised, she couldn't help laughing: "No one has ever said that I'm cute. You are the first one. Good, you are good!"

The butler standing outside the door heard the laughter coming from inside and his eyes were filled with surprise. He had been working in the Galliodro family for so long, but this was the first time he heard Lady Cecilia laugh so heartily.

It seems that Mr. Lu Xiao really has some abilities.

Just as Lu Xiao was chatting with Cecilia, the Duke of Galliodro's Palace welcomed another visiting guest.

It was Athena, Duchess of Leslie.

When the old butler opened the door and saw it, he was surprised and said, "Good day, honorable Athena."

"Good day, Lady Cecilia. Is she home?"

Athena is much younger than Cecilia, but she is also in her 40s. However, she is well maintained and looks only in her 30s.

The old butler welcomed her in, but when he arrived at the door of the main hall, he said, "Ms. Athena, wait a moment."

"Go ahead." It wasn't difficult for Athena to talk to him. After all, this was the Duke of Galliodro's palace. She came here with a purpose, so she should be humble.

After the old butler went in, he said that Duke Leslie was visiting. Cecilia was a little surprised when she heard this: "Why did she come here? She didn't tell me in advance."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Xiao beside him, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought of something: "Let her in."

While the housekeeper was out, Cecilia looked at Lu Xiao and said, "You may not have seen this Duke Leslie, but you should have met the eldest son of her family, Lieutenant General Fred, a capable general under your father."

When Lieutenant General Fred was suddenly mentioned, Lu Xiao suddenly remembered that she had heard of his identity before. No wonder she felt it was very familiar when she heard the three words Leslie just now.

So this is the relationship. Speaking of males related to Duke Leslie, she has met more than just Lieutenant General Fred. Regar is also Duke Leslie's child.

Soon, the old butler entered with Duke Leslie.

After the other party came in, as soon as he saw Lu Xiao, he smiled and said, "It seems that I came at a really bad time and disturbed Lady Cecilia from meeting the little guest."

"What guest? She is my granddaughter, Lu Xiao, Xiao Xiao, meet Duke Leslie."

"Good day, Duke Leslie." Lu Xiao stood up and greeted generously without any shyness.

Duke Leslie, who had been looking at her, couldn't help but smile and said, "Lu Xiao, so you are Lu Xiao. I've been hearing people mention you recently, and I finally met you today. You are indeed a very special little female. I heard that you only have one concubine husband. My Fred happens to be a lieutenant general under your father. I heard that you worked together not long ago, so you should know each other well. How about letting him be your husband?"

Lu Xiao didn't expect that Duke Leslie would set his sights on her as soon as he came in, without saying anything, and he was even bringing up old matters again.

Lu Xiao quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but you may not know that my father also wanted to bring us together, but I had no intention of looking for a husband, so when I first met Lieutenant General Fred, I expressed my intention clearly, and Lieutenant General Fred also expressed his understanding, so I am afraid that I cannot accept your kindness."

"You didn't know each other before, but now you're familiar with each other. Is my Fred not as good as your concubine?"

This sentence is not as friendly as before.

Lu Xiao frowned slightly.

"Besides, nowadays, every female in the empire has many males in her family. Don't you feel bored staying alone?"

When Duke Leslie said these words, Lu Xiao had already sat back in her chair, poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly, looking completely disrespectful.

Cecilia took in this scene, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip in a disguised way, but in fact she was trying to suppress the involuntary rise of the corners of her lips.

Duke Leslie also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Even if she came here with a purpose, it didn't make sense that after she came in, they all sat down and she was the only one standing!
It made her seem inferior.

Thinking of this, Athena immediately sat down and said, "Even your grandmother's family has five males!"

Hearing Duke Leslie using her as an example, Cecilia finally couldn't stand his stupidity anymore and said, "Sir Athena, what's the matter with you coming here today?"

"It's nothing serious. I just think Mr. Lu Xiao is nice and want to find a matchmaker for my disappointing male cub. If Mr. Lu Xiao is willing, our Leslie family and the Galliodro family will be related in the future, right?"
