Then she sat down, stroking her chest, and glanced at Miriel uncertainly.
What did she mean by those words?
Are you hinting at something to her?
But when she observed the other person's expression, she looked so innocent and simple, ignorant of the world, as if she just didn't mean to say it.
I hope she didn't mean it, Ais comforted herself.
When the interlude ended, Albudo looked at Bai Wu appreciatively.
He originally thought that this little girl only knew a little bit about the Bible, but he didn't expect that she was so familiar with the contents.
I also recite those words verbatim.
What's even more rare is that children of her age often don't understand the proverbs in the Bible, but she can express her own unique insights.
Just like that sentence said, if she is upright, kind, and so smart, she will definitely be no less than a wise person in the future.
In order to find out Bai Wu's background, Albudo asked her a few more words from the Bible, and she answered them all fluently.
Not only that, she even told exactly how many pages and lines in the Bible those words were on.
Albudo was completely impressed by her.
"Miss Miriel, how long have you been reading the Bible before you become so familiar with its contents?"
Bai Wu pondered for a few seconds, then blinked her jewel-like blue eyes and said:
"It's been three days since I returned to Mr. Albudo. Aunt Glenda used to tell me the stories in it. I only read the book after returning to the manor."
Albudo was shocked. It had only been three days, and he had studied the Bible for most of his life before he was familiar with its contents. But the little girl in front of him had only read it for three days and was already as good as him.
Likewise, he did not question the falsehood of Bai Wu's words.
After all, it is impossible for someone who is so familiar with and respects the Bible to lie under God's watchful eye.
So Albudo chatted enthusiastically with Bai Wu about this book throughout the afternoon.
Aisi's expression on the side became increasingly ugly.
She had no idea that Miriel would win Albudo's favor so quickly, and the words in the book gave her a splitting headache. In the end, she couldn't hold it back anymore, so she got up and said goodbye to Albudo.
Albudo didn't try to persuade her to stay, after all, he could see that Aisi's heart was not focused on this at all.
Looking at Aisi's hastily leaving, a mocking light flashed across Bai Wu's eyes.
She found out early on that Albudo was a devout Christian and spent almost half of his time studying the Bible.
So she gave up those boring arithmetic books and read the Bible for three days.
Fortunately, the golden finger in this plane gave her the ability to remember photographs, and she was able to win Albudo's heart in one fell swoop.
She not only wants Aisi to retreat when faced with difficulties.
More importantly, she needs to let her know that her existence is not only a threat to her.
It's even more death.
After all, there can only be one beautiful flower in the world, right?
Albudo stayed during the dinner. He changed his previous rigid and serious attitude and praised Bai Wu in front of the old Duke.
Reske also came back from the army, and his brows were filled with joy because of Albudo's words.
Bai Wu noticed this and cast an expectant look at him without concealing it.
Just like thousands of ordinary daughters asking for rewards for their progress from their fathers.
But Reske had never encountered such a situation. In the past, Aisi, who was afraid of him, would not dare to say a word to him, let alone look at him with such eyes, so he only coughed slightly.
respond.
Not surprisingly, he saw a disappointed look on the girl's face.
Lesk held the cup tightly, the worry between his brows became heavier, as if he was deep in some kind of thinking.
Meilin continued to maintain her usual elegance and solemnity. After finishing the meal with the servants, she sat down next to Reske and ate the meal in front of her in an orderly manner.
It was as if the person Albudo was praising was not her daughter.
The rest of the people's reactions were not so normal.
Aisi stirred the creamy pasta on the plate with a heavy heart. The repeated setbacks in front of Miriel made her anxious. She desperately wanted to regain her sense of existence but was unable to do anything.
Lily, on the other hand, was glad that the object of praise from the adults was finally no longer the annoying Ais, but Miriel, like her sister, was not lovable, not to mention what happened to Froze a few days ago.
There is also a knot.
Janice's expression was even more ugly.
The old Duke hired Albudo as a teacher for Miriel and Ais behind her back, but her daughter Lily didn't get anything.
After returning to the room after dinner, Janice lost her temper.
Lily had long been used to it. She sat in front of the dressing table and played with her long reddish-brown hair disapprovingly, thinking about how to make them more dazzling than the blond hair of Miriel and Ais.
At this moment, Sema came in with milk and placed it respectfully in front of Janis.
The result was obvious. Janis grabbed the milk cup and threw it to the ground. The milky white liquid splashed everywhere.
Sema quickly lowered her head and pretended to be frightened, but in fact her eyes were full of indifference and disgust.
She had long had enough of Janis's bad temper.
Not only did Janis not calm down, she even caught Sema and scolded her:
"Didn't I tell you carefully at the beginning? That little hooves must not be allowed to return to the manor unharmed. Look at how you did it. It's a good thing that I worked so hard to bring you back from the Grand Duke's Mansion. Otherwise, now
You would have rotted in the ground!"
Sema tightened her grip, feeling that it was time to use the escape method that Miriel had taught her earlier.
So after Janis had finished venting, she slowly walked behind Janis and massaged her shoulders.
She had been serving the Grand Duke before she came to the Grand Duke's Mansion, and her skills were excellent. After several times, Janis became more comfortable and her anger had subsided by less than half.
Sema then took the opportunity and said:
"Madam, Sema has an idea that can help you get out of this dilemma."
"you say."
"How about this, while Miss Myriel hasn't established a firm foothold in the manor yet, you send me to her to inquire about the situation. Not only can I know the latest developments of Mei Lin and others faster, but I can even use
Miriel will deal with Merlin and the others."
As expected, Janis became interested and grabbed Sema and asked.
"How to say?"
Sema sat down next to her.
"Look, madam, according to the current situation, Merlin dislikes this Myriel very much, and is more partial to Ais. We can just use this to gain Myriel's attachment and make her stand on our side.
In this way, your chances of winning the management of the manor will be greater."
