Chapter 12: Polite Dai Huabin

The Duchess was in a particularly bad mood for a few days after leaving Mr. Wang's side courtyard.

She had dreamed of killing Huo Yuhao with her own hands more than once. Every time she woke up, her eyes were no longer sleepy, but filled with hatred.

Obviously, Huo Yuhao's insults made this vicious-hearted woman completely put him on the blacklist.

Fortunately, the Duchess finally received news from the Zhu family that day that someone from the Duke of Lingmao’s mansion would bring Zhu Lu over tonight.

As a former member of the Zhu family, the Duchess also knew Zhu Lu. Zhu Lu, like Dai Huabin, was nearly eleven years old this year, and her cultivation had reached the twenty-fourth level of Great Spirit Master. Her cultivation talent was among the best in the entire Zhu family's young generation. If her parents had not died in an accident when Zhu Lu was very young, her status in the Zhu family would definitely be even higher.

This is a good thing. Zhu Lu does not have a very strong backing, so it is easier for Dai Huabin to control her.

You heard it right, it’s control.

The Duchess herself is an experienced person, and her talent for cultivation is not strong. If her father was not the current Duke of Lingmao Duke's Mansion, her status in the Duke's Mansion would not be so high.

Why is the Second Lady afraid of the Duchess? It is because her family, the Lu family, cannot be compared with the Duchess's family.

"Mom." After changing into her newly bought pure white fur coat, the Duchess heard the call of her youngest son Dai Huabin. She glanced at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, curled her red lips, and waved to Dai Huabin, "Come here, let mom see you."

After walking around Dai Huabin, the Duchess nodded with satisfaction, "Our Huabin is really handsome. Huabin, you must have a good chat with Zhu Lu when you see her later, okay?"

"Don't worry, Mom." Dai Huabin smiled confidently. He was handsome and had a high status. In the entire Duke's Mansion, he was one of the most important people except for the three direct relatives above him. If it weren't for Wang Shousheng as a pillar of support, he would have been the fourth most important person.

"Dai Yaoheng." Dai Huabin muttered the name secretly. He had very complicated feelings towards his elder brother. When he was a child, his elder brother was very good to him. However, when he knew that only one of them was destined to inherit the family title, the relationship between the two gradually changed behind the scenes.

The Duchess didn't know that Dai Huabin was still thinking about his elder brother. She held Dai Huabin's hand, and the mother and son walked out side by side.

The Duke of White Tiger, Dai Hao, was away, and now the Duchess was the head of the Duke's Mansion. As the temporary number one person, the Duchess took Dai Huabin to the gate of the inner courtyard and waited for the Zhu family to arrive.

When several luxurious carriages drove to the gate of the inner courtyard in the dust, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of both mother and son at the same time.

The door of the carriage was quickly opened, and more than a dozen Zhu family guards dressed in dark gold uniforms jumped out of the carriage. These people were the Zhu family's shadow guards, and their status in the Zhu family was similar to that of the Dai family's secret guards, and they were all elite members.

Each shadow guard is a soul master with soul power no less than the soul king level, and they are all combat-type soul masters. After receiving the Zhu family's deadpool training, these shadow guards will risk their lives to protect their masters closely when they are in danger.

After the shadow guard got out of the car first, several senior executives of the Zhu family followed closely.

"Second uncle, it turns out that it's you who came this time." When the Duchess saw the old man in the lead, a smile appeared on her lips. She walked straight forward and held the old man's hand.

The old man was wearing a black mink coat, had a fat body, and his eyes were as small as two green beans. It was hard to imagine that a man who looked like this would have a spirit of the extremely fast Netherworld Spirit Cat.

He is the second brother of the Duchess's father. His real name is Zhu Ganglie and he is one of the main members of the Zhu family elders' council.

Although the Zhu family does not have a Titled Douluo, they have quite a few Soul Douluos.

Although the Zhu family is strong, they don't have much real power. The Duke of Lingmao Duke's Mansion is also the prime minister, but he is often suppressed by the royal Xu family in the court. Unlike the Dai family, there is Dai Hao who holds military power, and this is why the Xu family is afraid. In the Northwest Army, the title of Duke of White Tiger is definitely more useful than the royal family. If Dai Hao suddenly becomes unhappy with the royal family and leads the Northwest Army to rebel directly, even if the royal family will not fall, it will at least be a headache.

"Xuan'er, I haven't seen you for a while. Look at you now, you've lost weight." Zhu Ganglie usually loved his niece very much. When he saw a hint of haggardness on her heavily made-up face, he immediately said with heartache.

The Duchess forced a smile and did not tell her second uncle about Huo Yuhao.

This matter was a shame to her, and she had to kill the little beast with her own hands before she could stop. If she had to use her family's power to deal with a lowly child born by a lowly servant, then she had been a duchess for so many years in vain.

"Okay, okay, Uncle Er won't ask any more questions."

Zhu Ganglie also knew his niece's personality, so he stopped talking and waved to a girl standing behind him, "Zhu Lu, why don't you come over and meet your Aunt Xuan?"

The Duchess looked over and saw a slim girl in a black dress walking towards her with small steps. Zhu Lu obviously inherited the tradition of the Zhu family girls, that is, she was young but mature.

The black long skirt she chose was not particularly tight, but the front was still bursting by her huge peaks.

In fact, the Duchess is a pretty big lady, but her character is really problematic.

But when she was young, the Duchess was also a goddess pursued by many people. There was no other reason, just one word: big!

As for men, they either like it to be bigger in the front or in the back. If it is neither, then they can only look at the face.

"Zhu Lu meets Aunt Xuan." Zhu Lu lowered her head slightly, and her beautiful pair of willow-shaped eyebrows made the short-haired girl look more gentle.

The Duchess was more and more satisfied as she watched, and she kept shouting to Dai Huabin, "Huabin, what are you still doing standing there? Come here quickly."

Little did he know that all Dai Huabin was thinking about now was the pair of mountains of Zhu Lu.

Apart from his own mother, Zhu Lu was the oldest girl he had ever seen. Even the eldest princess of the royal family whom he had seen several times before was not as outrageous as her.

Dai Huabin really has some psychological problems. He doesn't like beautiful women, but rather those who are particularly tall. Zhu Lu just happens to be in line with his aesthetic taste.

With the corner of his mouth raised, Dai Huabin revealed a smile that he thought was extremely handsome, and slowly walked in front of everyone.

"Dai Huabin greets my second grandfather and other seniors." Dai Huabin politely greeted the visitors from the Zhu family first, and then he turned his eyes to Zhu Lu who was standing on the side. "Hello, I'm Dai Huabin."

"Hello, I'm Zhu Lu." Zhu Lu is a relatively quiet woman. Only when you become very familiar with her will she be willing to communicate with you in depth.

Dai Huabin was not embarrassed, after all, Zhu Lu was his right-hand man in the future fight for the duke's succession. To deal with such a girl, you have to cook her slowly with warm water, and you can't do it all at once.

He was not the kind of person who only liked the body and didn't care about the feelings. On the contrary, Dai Huabin paid much attention to this aspect of feelings. At least in his opinion, if he wanted to really win Zhu Lu, she had to give her body and mind to him.

Use force? He, the second young master of the Duke's Mansion, would not bother to do that.
