I can't log on to Qidian, so I uploaded late. I'm sorry, but you still have to give me your favorites, clicks, and recommendations. Hehehe!
This was the first time Zhao Hai had spoken to Meg in such a teasing tone. Meg couldn't help but be surprised. Then Meg blushed and pouted, "Young Master is making fun of me."
Zhao Hai chuckled, but his heart was secretly relieved. Although Zhao Hai was an otaku and had never been in love before, he wasn't a fool. He discovered that Meg seemed to have a good impression of him, and after getting along with her for such a long time, he also had a good impression of her. The reason why he said this today was to see Meg's reaction. If Meg wasn't angry, then it meant that Meg really did have a good impression of him, and his feelings weren't wrong.
This was also the first time Blockhead and the others heard Zhao Hai say this to Meg. The two looked at each other with some puzzlement, but they didn't say anything.
Meg's face was red, but her heart was secretly happy. Her heart had long been tied to Zhao Hai, but Zhao Hai had always been indifferent, so she didn't dare to reveal her feelings. She could only silently care for Zhao Hai behind his back.
Today, although Zhao Hai's words weren't anything special, it still made Meg happy. This was because Zhao Hai was praising her. Being praised by her sweetheart, even if it was in a joking tone, made this young girl's heart pound like a deer.
Zhao Hai didn't tease Meg too much. He knew that Meg's face was thin. If he said anything more, Meg might run away in embarrassment. Moreover, he didn't want to become a glib talker, that wasn't his character.
After chatting with the three for a while, Zhao Hai felt that the time was almost up, so he brought Meg out of the space. Laura had seen Meg before, so if they suddenly didn't see her today, she would be suspicious. Therefore, Zhao Hai brought Meg out of the space, while Blockhead and the others stayed in the space to look after the slaves. After Meg finished cooking, she gave them a portion.
When Laura and Nier arrived at the dining room, Zhao Hai and the others were already sitting there waiting for them. Laura said to Zhao Hai, "I've made Mister wait for a long time. I was a bit tired from the car ride and unknowingly fell asleep."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter, I just arrived. Miss Laura, please take a seat. You don't have to be polite here." Laura complied and sat down.
At this time, Meg and Meg also came in with the food they had prepared. Green was already sitting next to Zhao Hai. Today's meal was mainly bread, but there were a lot of dishes that Laura had eaten before.
Laura ate very happily. These dishes could only be eaten by Zhao Hai. Normally, she wouldn't be able to eat them at home, not only because she didn't have the ingredients, but also because she didn't know how to cook them.
Laura didn't know if it was her own misperception, but she felt that Zhao Hai's maid looked at her with a trace of hostility. Zhao Hai's cook also looked at her with an inexplicable gaze that made her feel uncomfortable.
Because of this feeling, Laura left after eating. She didn't understand why the people around Zhao Hai had become like this. In the end, what was going on?
Laura frowned as she sat in the carriage, puzzled. Nier looked at Laura and smiled. "Miss, did you notice? Mister's maid is very hostile to you. "
Laura was surprised. She turned to look at Nier and said, "You also noticed? I thought it was my misperception. Did I offend a good maid? Or did I do something that made Mister dissatisfied? "
Nier smiled tenderly. "Miss is really stupid. What did you do wrong? Didn't you see the way the maid looked at Mister? Even I can see the love in her eyes. She obviously thinks of you as a rival. Moreover, Mister's cook is constantly looking at Miss, and from time to time looking at Miss' butt. I've heard people say that there is a saying among the people that a big butt is good for bearing children. Hehe, I'm afraid that the cook wants to see if Miss is good for bearing children. "
Laura was surprised. Then she scolded, "Smelly girl, you talk nonsense every day. Is it because you're moved by love? It seems that I have to find a family to marry you off. "
Nier smiled tenderly and said, "Miss, don't be angry. What I said is the truth. Looking at Miss' appearance, it really is good for bearing children." Then she giggled.
Laura's heart was a bit strange. She had seen Meg and Merine's expressions when they looked at her, but she didn't think much about it. She just thought that she had done something wrong to provoke Zhao. Now that she heard Nier's words, she recalled Meg and Merine's expressions. It really was as Nier had said.
Nier's heart was pure, so she could get along with animals. Similarly, she was very sensitive to the changes in people's hearts. Therefore, she could see that Meg and Merine were looking at Laura from time to time.
Laura was deep in thought. She really didn't know if Meg saw her as a rival. Was it her own misunderstanding, or was it because of Zhao Hai?
If it was only her misunderstanding, then it would be fine. If it was because of Zhao Hai, then it would be a big problem. It would mean that Zhao Hai had shown her affection in front of Meg and Merine.
Thinking of this, Laura's face couldn't help but turn red. She should've been distressed by Zhao Hai's thoughts, but she found that she didn't seem distressed. She only felt shy, and there was a hint of joy.
Laura was a very calm person. Quinn John had taught her as early as she was sensible that she must be calm in the face of trouble. This was the most basic requirement for a businessman.
She quickly found that her mood was very wrong. She immediately began to reflect, but the result was that she became more and more dizzy. Finally, she was dizzy, but she still couldn't sort out her thoughts. In the end, she had to give up thinking about it. However, this matter had planted a seed in her mood.
When she returned home, Quinn John had also returned. He was drinking tea in the study. Laura entered the study and waved the servants over. Then she whispered to Quinn John, "Grandpa Quinn John, how was it?"
Quinn John smiled faintly and said, "It's done. Evan really does have some power in his hands. Moreover, this power isn't small. Most of the Purcell clan's neutral elders are his subordinates. Before, he had those elders endure while waiting for an opportunity. Now that the opportunity has come, the most important thing is that you can't imagine who is behind him. One of the Purcell clan's two guardians, Origin Sword Saint, is Evan's great grandfather."
Laura stared, then she was overjoyed. "That's great. With such a backing, this matter will be much easier to handle. Right, Origin Sword Saint is Evan's great grandfather. When Evan was a mere figurehead, why didn't he make a move? Also, if Evan knows about this matter, how could Kaiser and the other elders not know? "
Quinn John smiled faintly and said, "What kind of person is Origin Sword Saint? Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. This is also Evan's experience. Without this experience, he wouldn't be able to become a qualified patriarch. The Purcell clan has a rule that only the patriarch can see the information of the clan's guardians. No one else can see it. That's why Kaiser and the others don't know the identity of Origin Sword Saint. Origin Sword Saint had entered Rank Nine earlier than Buffy by a few decades. Now, in the Purcell clan, the only one who knows of his identity is Evan. "
Laura happily stood up and walked around on the ground. While walking, she excitedly said, "That's great. With such strength, this matter will be successful. Grandpa Quinn John, what is Grand Duke Evan going to do?"
Quinn John smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to do anything. Let's let them play it out. If those great clans want to push the Grand Elder down, then they will have to raise the price of food. If the Grand Elder can't solve this problem, then he will be forced to step down. But if they want to raise the price of food, then they will have to go through us. Therefore, in the next few days, they may come to us and lay their cards on the table, or even threaten us. We can use this opportunity to ask Mister Zhao Hai to cooperate and raise the price of food. Then, they will naturally force the Grand Elder to step down. Afterwards, Evan will stand up and we will cooperate with them to immediately lower the price of food. With Origin Sword Saint's appearance, Evan's position as the patriarch will be stable. However, we still need some food. You know, when the price of food rises and falls, there will be a lot of people buying food. Therefore, during this period of time, we need to prepare more food. Even if we buy it at a high price, we can also sell it at a low price."
Laura smiled faintly and said, "This is also a coincidence. This time, when I went to Mister, he told me that he has more than a million jin of food in his hands. As long as we need it, we can take it at any time. Hehe, did Mister already think of this?"
Quinn John stared, then he looked at Laura and asked, "Young Lady, are you saying that in addition to the normal supply of food, Mister can also take out more than a million jin of food?"
Laura shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it's not just that. Mister said that he has more than a million jin of food. As for how much more, I don't know. I think it won't be a small amount, at least 1.5 million jin."
Quinn John said, "Taking out more than a million jin of food, and on top of the daily supply of 350,000 jin, how many territories does he have?"
Laura smiled bitterly. She also wanted to know this question, but she also knew that she couldn't ask. Zhao Hai had too many secrets that she couldn't know. Up until now, she hadn't even seen what Zhao Hai looked like, let alone ask about these things.
After a while, Quinn John let out a long breath and said, "In any case, now that we have food, I think we should wait for the people from the large firms to come to us. You should immediately go to Mister and tell him about this matter. Ask him to help us with this matter."
Laura nodded and said, "Alright, I will. I can see that Mister doesn't know much about the Purcell clan's matters. However, these matters aren't important to Mister. I think Mister will help us with this." Laura nodded.
Quinn John nodded and turned to look out the window. "As long as this matter is successful, the Purcell Duchy will be our world."
Laura's eyes shined as she looked out the window, her expression full of excitement.
