Qiao Yiqi was not afraid of him, and looked back, "Does the Duke really think that my Joels family is declining, or does he have ulterior motives? I don't think I need to repeat it. Although Joels is a bit weak against Ayers now It is difficult, but there is still strength to resist after all.”

Duke Philip stared at him, "I think, you should know, if Miss Prow marries the Ayers family, do you, Joels, still have the capital to contend?"

Hearing what he said, Qiao Yiqi seemed to have heard a big joke, and laughed out loud, "Marry with Ayers? I think your first marriage partner was Ayers. Ayers refused." I fulfilled your request, so you came to me, right?"

Although it was a question, it was true if he said it in an affirmative tone.

Duke Philip was a little annoyed when someone exposed his own innocence, "Earl Joels! You are only a 13-year-old child, do you think the elders of the House will take you seriously?"

Qiao Yiqi glanced at Oster, Oster understood.

He put the hat in his hand on his head, and thoughtfully put on a pair of black leather gloves for him.

After Auster finished, Qiao Yiqi stood up and walked out, and when he passed by Duke Philip, he glanced at him, "I don't care if those old bastards in the House think of me, they just need Just put my Joels family in your eyes, if you don't put my Joels family in your eyes."

Qiao Yiqi paused for a moment, and stopped at the door, tilted her head slightly, Philip could only see a mocking eye, "I don't mind letting them know what the Joels family's beliefs are. "

After speaking, he left without looking back.

Only Duke Philip was left with a gloomy expression.

Oster lifted the curtain of the carriage for him, and Qiao Yiqi got into the carriage.

This conversation ended badly.

The carriage had left Philip's estate.

"Oster, where are we going right now?" The young count's lazy voice came from the carriage.

"Her Majesty is hosting a dinner tonight and you must be there."

"Ah."

Qiao Yi agreed, then leaned against the window, watching the trees on both sides of the road backing away quickly, wondering what she was thinking.

After an unknown amount of time, Oster's voice interrupted his thoughts, "The queen's dinner has not yet started, and Earl Ayers invites you to have a talk at the coffee shop in front of the palace."

"Go." Qiao Yiqi rubbed his eyebrows and said.

"promise."

This coffee shop is not as flashy and magnificent as later generations, but is built out of mahogany, more like a bar that you can see every few miles in a mountain village.

When you walk in, you will find that the inside is very clean and tidy.

Qiao Yiqi pushed open the wooden door, making a creaking sound.

A silver-haired man heard the sound and looked.

The man was wearing Tudor-style attire. Obviously, this should be the current head of the Ayers family——Claude Ayers.

The reputation of the Ayers family among the nobles has always been very good, and many noble girls hope to marry into the Ayers family.

After all, who wouldn't want their husband to be gentle and polite?

Qiao Yiqi walked to Claude, took off his hat, and saluted him.

Claude also saluted back.

Even though the kings of the two families did not see each other, but if they were to meet each other, everyone would have the necessary etiquette. Even though Qiao Yiqi is only a 13-year-old child now, his status is equal to him.

"It seems that even if such a big thing happened to the Joels family, the little count can still manage things well." Claude laughed.

As soon as this sentence came out, Qiao Yiqi knew it. He already knew what happened at Philip's house just now.

"Where, I thought that the Ayers family intended to 'effectively communicate' with Philip Manor, so as not to take advantage of others."

Hearing what he said, Claude was not angry either, he didn't have to be serious with a child.

"However, it's better for the Joels family not to get too involved in some things. After all, who knows if the Joels family will face the queen's suppression?" Claude said casually.

"Whether Her Majesty the Queen chooses to suppress Joels, it is not up to the Ayers family to speak. I heard that Lord Dorian of the Earl's family has become more and more ill recently. The Earl should think of a way to solve Lord Dorian's condition." .”

Hearing his words, Claude put away his amiable smile and looked at him expressionlessly: "Then I hope Earl Joels' journey of appeasement can proceed happily."

He left the cafe without looking back.

Qiao Yiqi ignored him, ordered a cup of coffee for herself, and drank it slowly.

Looking out at the street from time to time, I don't know what I am thinking.

"Oster." He called out.

"I'm here."

Oster bowed his head and replied, but he didn't hear the following for a long time, so he looked up at him.

Qiao Yiqi took a sip of coffee, looked outside again, and said slowly, "Are you going to betray me?"

"Auster Branson swears to the devil that he will always be loyal to the Joels family." After finishing speaking, he drew a simple logo of the family on his chest.

"I hope so." Qiao Yiqi said lightly, taking another sip of coffee.

The rich bitter taste gradually filled his taste buds, he frowned, but swallowed it anyway.

Oster didn't understand what he said, but he still said dutifully, "It's getting late, today's dinner is about to start."

Qiao Yiqi put down the glass, took Oster's handkerchief, wiped his mouth, "Let's go."

The cafe is right next to the palace, so it doesn't take many steps to get there.

European-style palaces are different from Chinese-style palaces. People with status can enter directly without notification.

Moreover, the place where the dinner party is held is very large, with a gorgeous dance floor, there are already gathered ladies in twos and threes or other low-level nobles who want to marry some noble women through today's dinner party.

Qiao Yiqi followed the waiter up to the second floor, where high-ranking nobles stayed.

Upstairs, he saw Miss Pro at first glance.

Because when Miss Pro saw him, she greeted him, and then ran to his side, "I know you have a lot of things to do recently, but it doesn't matter, I can wait for you."

Qiao Yiqi was taken aback by her words.

It seemed that she didn't know that he and her father had broken up.

Maybe Philip wasn't a good duke, but he was a good father.

Not wanting to destroy her father's image in her heart, he could only say, "Well, don't wait for me, you can find a good family."

Seeing Miss Pro's disappointed expression, Qiao Yiqi could only comfort her, "You deserve better."

Who knew that the little girl was only disappointed for a while, and then went to find her little sister again.

Qiao Yiqi: "..."
