Chapter 463 The Noble Duke is Cruel and Merciless (End)
Lyons glanced at the person who spoke with a proud look and snorted coldly.
"You know what? Only a lower-class noble like you would think that the Duchess is just an ordinary Oriental."
"This garden was bought by the Duchess as a gift to the Duke of Leon. Naturally, it was paid for by the Duchess. My uncle said that the Duchess must be from a prominent family, perhaps an oriental noble. In short, she is not an ordinary person."
After Lyons said this, the person who had just spoken suddenly blushed, but did not dare to refute.
The others also looked pale.
The noble ladies suddenly wondered if they were sick.
How can you have the nerve to look down on others?
Before long, the news spread throughout the central city of Bir State, and both nobles and commoners knew about it.
After Lingyao bought the garden, she brought in many rare varieties of flowers from all over the place and renovated the entire garden.
The key is that the garden is open to the public because of Leonard's suggestion.
Unlike before, both commoners and nobles could only get a glimpse of the beautiful scenery through the high iron railings.
Now the garden is open to the public, and both nobles and commoners can come to the garden to enjoy the view and rest.
There are also desserts specially for the common people.
Civilians can receive a copy if they enter the garden to view it.
As for the nobles, they did not receive such treatment.
Other nobles all tried to curry favor with the nobles and isolate the common people, but the Duke and Duchess did the exact opposite.
The isolated nobles had no reason to object.
Because the reason given by the garden was very reasonable: the nobles could eat these cakes themselves, or let the servants bring their own, so there was no need for the garden to prepare them for them.
The nobles certainly had no shortage of food, but they still felt a little aggrieved.
It has always been that they have privileges while the common people do not, but now the situation is reversed.
Lingyao felt that her arrangement was very kind, and it was good enough that she did not ask these nobles to pay for the tickets.
Still thinking about her.
Because Henry was declared as the heir to the throne.
Hart was completely defeated in this war without gunpowder.
The nobles who had previously stood on Hart's side were either worried or immediately switched sides and sided with Henry.
Hart's business is now deserted.
Since he received the order, he has been staying at home for almost a week without going out.
Hart had never been willing to accept the result.
He just had a love affair with a woman, how could it have such serious consequences?
It was not until the order to pass on the throne came down that Hart really panicked.
It wasn't his fault that he had been stubborn before, and he was still in love with Anna and didn't want to let go.
At this time, he couldn't wait to apologize to the Bella family and said that he would completely break off with Anna.
Show your loyalty to Bella.
Bella looked at the man who was once her fiancé and felt only disgust and nausea.
I also find Hart's request for peace ridiculous.
"Prince Hart, if you come any later, Prince Henry and I will be expecting our second child."
After the sarcastic remarks, the Bella family ordered them to leave and rejected Hart's request for a meeting with various reasons.
Prince Hart closed the door of the Bella family.
Hart was rejected by Bella and wanted to go back to Anna.
However, his knights reported that they did not find Anna.
Hart also realized that he hadn't seen Anna for almost half a month.
At this moment, Anna was sitting in the garden that Lingyao bought for Leonard.
Lingyao sat opposite her.
Anna looked at Xuanyuan Lingyao, who had completely changed so much that she could no longer recognize her previous appearance.
My mind is filled with mixed feelings.
"Ninth Princess, I have already done what you asked me to do. When will you fulfill your promise to send me back?"
"at any time."
Lingyao replied with two simple words, but Anna didn't quite understand.
Frowning, "What does the Ninth Princess mean?"
Lingyao raised her eyebrows and looked at Anna.
There was a look in his eyes that was familiar to Anna, and it was also the oppressive feeling of a superior that Anna feared.
"I mean you can always go back on your own."
The last few words spoke volumes.
Anna's face changed when she heard this: "Ninth Princess, do you want to regret it? How can I go back by myself?"
Lingyao didn't mean to joke with her.
"When did I promise to send you back? You should go back the same way Xuanyuan Lingyao came to Bi'er Country."
Anna took away all of Xuanyuan Lingyao's belongings.
Xuanyuan Lingyao and his group almost had to beg on the way here, looking very embarrassed and dangerous.
She should certainly pay the price she deserves.
Lingyao is very fair in what she does.
Anna turned pale when she heard Lingyao's words.
At that time, Lingyao did not directly agree to send her back.
He just said that he would send her away from the country of Bir and give her a new identity, no longer a slave or a prisoner.
She should have known that Lingyao would not let her go so easily.
But now she has no capital to resist Lingyao, and she is even no longer worth being used.
Even if Lingyao wanted to break the contract and get rid of her, there would be no consequences.
But it seems Lingyao doesn't have such idea.
Anna's face turned pale and blue.
Finally, he could only grit his teeth and ask, "After I return to the Eastern Kingdom, will the Ninth Princess really give me a new identity as you said?"
"of course."
Two words fell, firm yet light.
When Anna looked up, Lingyao had already walked away.
Lingyao walked a little faster, but her posture was still elegant and did not give people the feeling that she was in a hurry.
When the carriage stopped at the Duke's palace, she quickened her pace and walked in.
Fortunately, I made it to the appointment with Leonard.
The weather is getting cooler.
Leonard was wearing a snow-white sweater and a blue plaid apron tied around his waist.
He was holding a plate in his hand and was putting the final touches on the dish.
Seeing Lingyao come in, he immediately put down his plate and walked over to the table.
"Honey, you're almost late!"
Lingyao had a straight face and said stubbornly: "But I'm not late."
Almost means almost.
It’s just that I’m not late yet!
Leonard had no intention of continuing to pester Lingyao.
Lead Lingyao to the dining table.
"Honey, I made this according to an oriental recipe. Try it and see if it tastes oriental."
Lingyao looked at the black masses on the table.
I feel like I came back too early.
She had no rivals in the three realms, but was eventually poisoned to death by the God of Wealth, Bao Bao...
Lingyao had a serious look on her face, in fact, a heroic look as if she was going to die, and sat down at the dining table.
I picked a dish from the pile that looked a little less dark.
When picking up the dishes, Lingyao really wanted to secretly drop the dishes on the table.
However, the baby with the God of Wealth on his head has an expectant look on his face.
Lingyao still suppressed the urge to tremble.
He put it into his mouth and ate it slowly with an expressionless face.
Leonard was still waiting for Lingyao's evaluation.
A pair of blue eyes sparkled: "How is it, dear?"
Lingyao swallowed what was in her mouth, grabbed the water beside her and took a sip.
He said slowly, "This sweet and sour pork tenderloin is pretty good."
Leonard tilted his head, a little confused: "Honey, the recipe says this dish is called fried dumplings. Is sweet and sour pork tenderloin another name for it?"
Lingyao:......
When you take a bite, you can taste the burnt taste except for the vinegar and sweetness.
She thought it was sweet and sour pork...
However, Lingyao was not panicked at all, and did not feel any guilt for deceiving Leonard.
Nodding: "Yes, fried dumplings are also called sweet and sour pork tenderloin."
At least the God of Wealth tastes the same!
Leonard smiled with his eyebrows curved.
Hearing Lingyao's praise, he also sat down and prepared to try it.
However, Lingyao quickly held down his cutlery.
"You made this for me."
After Lingyao finished speaking, she quickly asked the people waiting on the side to bring up the food that had been prepared long ago.
Push it in front of Leonard.
"You eat this."
Leonard didn't understand, but he didn't refute.
Since his dear likes to eat it, he certainly won’t compete with her for it.
He obediently took the food Lingyao pushed to him and started eating.
Those pitch-black things.
In the end, Lingyao took advantage of the dark night and strong wind to throw him as far away as possible.
However, Lingyao did not stop Leonard from loving to cook.
Later, Leonard gradually cooked some good dishes.
Only then did I realize what I had been doing before.
He felt weak in the heart when he thought of Lingyao's expressionless face every time she ate and refused to let him eat.
I rubbed against Lingyao for a long time at night.
Her blonde hair was all messed up.
Finally, he calmed down after being kissed by Lingyao until his face turned red.
Outside the city gate of the distant Eastern country.
A woman with tattered clothes and dirty body walked towards the city gate with unsteady steps.
The skin on her lips had turned white and peeled.
He handed the letter he had been holding in his arms to the soldier who was checking documents at the city gate.
Then he completely fainted.
When she woke up, she was already in a house.
The house is not luxurious, but it is not small either.
The soldier that Anna saw before fainting soon appeared in front of her.
"Ms. Wan'er, here are some documents that prove your identity. You can stay in Xuanyuan country with peace of mind."
Anna looked at her new identity in her hand, and her throat choked up.
She traveled all this way just for these few pieces of paper.
From today on, she is no longer the slave who signed a contract to sell herself.
She looked at the papers in her hands, her fingers trembling.
After a long time, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Thank the Ninth Princess for me."
