Chapter 668 Sister, I'm Sorry (18)

Bai Wu lowered her eyes aggrieved.

"Mother, I didn't take my sister's things."

The old prince seemed to think that Mei Lin's attitude was a little too much, he frowned and said:
"Miriel is right, she just came to the manor, how could she know where Aisi's things are?"

Ai Si also echoed after listening: "Yes, I was confused for a while, but it happened that the things I prepared were the same as my sister's, and they were also called 'Shou Tao', so I was rude."

Then she smiled and said: "It seems that my sister really has a good heart with me. I don't know where you bought this thing? This birthday peach was bought from a sailor for the birthday of the Orientals. Things are very precious, so is my sister?"

She revealed a fact in a few words.

This thing called longevity peach is unique to the East, and it is expensive.

For Mirier who has been living on the farm, how could she come into contact with this kind of thing?
There is only one possibility.

She stole from her sister.

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Bai Wu didn't panic, but looked at Ai Si and shook her head slightly.

"Sister, you are wrong. This longevity peach is not something that oriental people eat specially for their birthdays, and it is not noble."

"It was a birthday present given to her mother by a famous general in the East. Her elderly mother ate peaches and regained her youth. Therefore, many people followed suit. They wanted the old people in the family to eat peaches as well. Eternal youth, eternal life.”

"But how can ordinary people find fairy peaches? They can only be replaced by noodles, so the precious thing about this birthday peach is not that it is rare, but that it represents the good wishes of future generations to the elders."

Bai Wu's voice was very small, but it was clear enough and surprising enough.

No one thought that such a young child would have such insight and experience.

You must know that she had been staying in the country before.

Janice, who had finished changing her clothes, just witnessed the whole process of the incident, and couldn't help snorting after hearing Bai Wu's words.

"What you said is grand-sounding. You can find all these from books."

Bai Wu said unhurriedly: "My aunt is right, but a while ago, Aunt Glenda's farm just took in a wanderer from the east. He told me this story and taught me how to make birthday peaches."

"I think that my grandfather was very similar to that general when he was young, and I hope that he will be as famous as the hero in the story."

This kind of wish went straight to the old duke's heart.

He has always missed the high spirits of being a knight when he was young.

When everyone saw this, they understood a little bit.

Not only did Miriel look extremely sincere and pious, but the birthday peach was not very delicate, as if it was pinched by someone who just learned how to make pasta.

For a moment, she couldn't help but admire her hard work.

And Aisi's face went completely pale.

She had no idea that the gift that Miriel had prepared was exactly the same as hers, and she knew so much about it.

But at this time, the other party still tilted his head and blinked at her seriously:
"Sister, we are really destined, you can also take out the longevity peach, let's wish grandpa a happy birthday together."

[Ding—green tea passive skill triggers, wisdom +10! 】

Hearing this, Ai Si's expression softened a little.

Even if Mi Lier didn't make a fool of herself in public, fortunately, she was well prepared, and if she said a few words of congratulations when the time came, her image in everyone's mind would still not change.

But when the maid took the gift box according to her instructions and showed it to everyone, it was empty and there was nothing at all.

Ace paled.

The surrounding people also talked about it:

"How could it be empty? It can't be that Miss Ai Si didn't prepare a gift and wanted to steal my sister's gift?"

"How is it possible? Miss Ai Si is such a well-behaved person, there is no need to do such a thing."

"Yeah, maybe I lost it or forgot to prepare it."

Although everyone's opinion of her was still good, Ai Si still couldn't help trembling slightly when she heard those voices of doubt.

She has always done everything perfectly, why did something go wrong on such an important occasion today?

Bai Wu on the side slowly picked up a small cake with a fork and ate it, as if she was deaf to Ai Si's strangeness.

But if you look closely, it's not difficult to find that her blue eyes hidden in the blond hair are full of sly light at the moment.

Of course, she didn't have a heart-to-heart with Ai Si, but she found out from Semana what gift she was preparing, so she carefully fabricated this lie.

As for the birthday peach in Ai Si's box, she had already informed Sema to find a chance to steal it and throw it away.

Sema didn't show up all night, presumably to do it.

For her, Bai Wu was very relieved. After all, Janice brought her out from the Grand Duke's house specially. She has a hot temper, but she is absolutely fine in terms of ability.

Especially in this capacity.

Mei Lin saw Ai Si's embarrassment and knew that she had indeed prepared a gift, so she got up and explained to her.

But the old duke interrupted Mei Lin before he finished listening.

"Okay, it's just a gift, if you lose it, you lose it, as long as you want it."

After finishing speaking, he turned to grab Bai Wu's hand with kind eyes.

"Good boy, grandpa likes your gift very much. Grandpa will let someone frame it in the study."

Bai Wu couldn't laugh or cry, but Ai Si clenched her sleeves tightly in jealousy.

Mei Lin's expression darkened, and she walked to Aisi and patted her on the shoulder lightly.

"Mother." Ai Si glanced at her slightly choked up.

"Ais, you have to remember that you are the pride of the Rhodes family, you must never lower your head at any time, and you must not forget your etiquette."

Aisi nodded heavily, then straightened her back.

But the hand holding the corner of the clothes never let go.

...

After this banquet, everyone praised the new Miss Miriel of the Rhodes family.

Especially Mrs. Katie, she held Bai Wu's hand tightly before she left, her eyes were full of joy, completely different from her politeness when facing Ai Si.

After seeing her off, the group walked on the lawn to the castle.

The old duke was surrounded naturally, and Bai Wu got his permission to walk beside him and support him.

Next to it are Resk and Janice.

Lily was bored in the room and refused to come out because of embarrassment.

Then there are some distinguished guests staying overnight.

And Meilin followed everyone at the end, and Aisi also followed her, walking beside her and holding her hand tightly.

Every time after the banquet, she always accompanied her mother to the end like this, but right now, she looked at the smiling Bai Wu standing at the front of the crowd, and the jealousy in her heart reached its climax.

She is obviously the most concerned and popular one.

How could this Miriel have attracted everyone's likes in just one day?
Could it be that what she did was not perfect enough?

Despite the resentment, Aisi still didn't dare to show half of it during Mei Lin's interview, she just pretended to be sullen and walked with her eyes downcast.
