Katie had no idea that Bai Wu's reason would be like this, and she was suddenly surprised and happy.
"Oh, dear, I didn't expect you to understand this at such a young age. You are so kind. If His Majesty were here, he would definitely like you."
This is the greatest compliment Mrs. Katie can give anyone.
Even Aisi has never received such recognition.
But Aisi's face didn't show any signs of strangeness. Instead, she continued to look at Bai Wu with a slight smile.
It was as if her sister had been praised, and she also took advantage of it.
Little did he know that the hands intertwined in front of his waist were almost torn into pieces.
Hearing this, Janis's lungs almost exploded with anger, and her eyes stared at Bai Wu unceremoniously.
She never expected that this girl would say such high-sounding words.
Doesn't this obviously make her and her daughter unable to hold their heads high in front of Lady Kitty?
Among the people present, she and her daughter were the only ones whose skirts were covered with jewels and diamonds, but isn’t this a symbol of nobility?
Should she be made to wear the same coarse linen clothes as this wild girl from the country?
Bai Wu's words undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.
They have long been dissatisfied with Janis and her daughter. After they are obviously criminals, they show off like this.
At this moment, the layer of window paper was highlighted by a little girl, and they started talking about it.
Lily was originally arrogant and wanted to outshine Aisi in any situation. Now that she was scolded by so many people in public, she couldn't hold back her face and started sobbing quietly.
When Janis saw her daughter shedding tears, she immediately felt distressed and angrily walked up to Mei Lin.
"Did you deliberately teach your daughter to say these words so that others can laugh at us?!"
Mei Lin frowned and did not get up from her seat, but her face remained calm as usual.
"Janice, Myriel has never left our sight since she returned to the manor. How do I teach her to say this?"
"you!"
Janis was furious, but Merlin was Myriel's mother after all, and she would protect her no matter what.
But what she didn't expect was that Mei Lin looked at Miriel the next second, and a stern light burst out from her eyes.
"But Miriel, please apologize to everyone quickly. What you did is very unruly."
Bai Wu looked at her in surprise and asked, "Mother, what are the rules?"
Meilin's eyes became even colder: "Do you think it's within the rules for you to say these things to me now?"
"Okay Mei Lin, this is my birthday party, not a guard room for you to teach your daughter a lesson!"
A man's voice, which was old but as bright as a bell, suddenly sounded at the door.
Everyone followed the sound and looked over, and saw the old Duke who had appeared outside the restaurant door at some unknown time.
Although his hair is all gray at the age of over seventy, his back is still straight.
The black knighthood uniform on his body is also straight and stiff, with several golden badges on his chest, making him look noble and majestic.
Those eyes are also filled with sharp light, as if they have been trained through many hardships and are breathtaking, making people awe-inspiring.
Everyone stood up almost as soon as they saw the old Duke. Meilin also stood up from her seat and slowly walked forward.
"Father, you are here."
Her eyes passed over the old Duke's face and rested on the new Duke Resque who was following behind him.
He looked very similar to the old Duke, with clear outlines, strong features, and resolute eyes with a hint of cold-blooded solemnity.
At first glance, you can tell that he is the kind of general and colonel who is used to fighting on the battlefield.
Mei Lin's eyes only stayed on him for a second and then looked away, as if the man was not the husband she had been with day and night, but just a stranger she met by chance.
The old Duke did not accept Mei Lin's support, but deliberately removed his hand and snorted at her:
"If I don't come, are you really going to make Myriel apologize in front of everyone? She has just returned home. Don't you think you, a mother, are a little too harsh?"
Mei Lin lowered her eyes slightly: "That's what father said."
The old Duke knew that she was only accepting the lesson verbally, so his expression did not soften, but he snorted again.
Reske on the side stretched out his hand: "Father, go in, it's very windy at the door."
The old Duke then stepped in with his hands behind his back.
Seeing him sit down, everyone followed suit.
The old Duke's gaze glanced around, and finally rested on Bai Wu, who had lowered her eyebrows.
So he raised his hand and waved: "Miriel? Come here."
Bai Wu obediently walked over with her head lowered.
Seeing her depressed look with lowered eyebrows, the old Duke pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Lift your head Myriel, the daughter of our Rhodes family will not look like this."
Hearing this, Bai Wu slowly raised her head, then looked at the old Duke and nodded heavily, her eyes regained their confidence.
"Okay grandpa, Miriam has remembered it."
Seeing that she was not afraid of him at all, the old Duke smiled with satisfaction, and then pointed to the empty chair next to him and motioned for her to sit down.
This was originally the seat reserved for Reske.
Reske didn't say anything about this, he just naturally walked to the seat next to him and sat down.
As he passed by Bai Wu, he clearly heard a soft "Daddy" from the girl's mouth.
Reske was stunned while holding the chair. Under the gaze of Bai Wu's exceptionally clear eyes, he nodded.
These small actions caused a stir in the eyes of Ais across from her.
She has always practiced self-restraint and etiquette in the manor, and followed her mother's instructions to become a dignified and noble lady.
During this period, she had not tried to be friendly with the two men in charge of the Rhodes family.
But they all grew up on horses, one is more severe than the other, and one is more cold-blooded than the other.
She can only act as a good granddaughter and good daughter in front of them.
Originally she thought she had been loved by everyone.
But judging from their attitude and behavior towards Miriam today, she has absolutely nothing.
Her grandfather never made an exception for her, and her father never showed any emotion towards her.
Only now did she suddenly wake up.
Miriel's arrival was not to set off her, but to seize everything that originally belonged to her.
She really felt a sense of crisis.
Then the gentle light in Aisi's eyes completely faded away, and she slowly sat down with a beautiful smile belonging to a noble lady.
But his eyes were like poisonous snakes staring at Bai Wu who was sitting in the seat, as if he wanted to tear her into pieces.
Bai Wu noticed this particularly unfriendly gaze, but she didn't pay attention. She just calmly picked up the fruit wine in front of her and took a sip.
At this time, the old Duke spoke again:
"I just heard it outside. Myriel is right. Your Majesty is now practicing frugality. As your most loyal subjects, we will naturally obey all your Majesty's wishes."
