My Swap Life Game

Chapter 59: Are you willing to marry Anne?

The mother and daughter finally finished their conversation.

The Duchess was very satisfied, as if she finally believed that nothing bad had happened to her daughter. She also judged that her daughter would only say these words when she was happy.

Her daughter Anne's lively and interesting words are something no one else can imitate!
"Thank you, Mr. Lu Xing, for taking such good care of my daughter!"

Mrs. Bridget thanked Lu Xing solemnly.

"Nothing. I was taken care of by Madam and Miss Catherine before."

Lu Xing said.

The maid standing behind him moved her eyes slightly.

Madam smiled and said, "Annie has a very naughty character. If she does something naughty or excessive, Mr. Lu Xing can tell me. There is no need to hide it for her."

"She is most used to denying her mistakes after doing them, or going to her father to beg for mercy."

The lady added.

Her words were reproachful, but Lu Xing could still hear the deep concern in them.

"Annie is very smart. She can make friends with anyone and can do nothing wrong."

Lu Xing laughed.

This was meant to be a polite remark, but Mrs. Carriage's eyes moved slightly, as if she was sizing him up, and she tried to ask, "Mr. Lu Xing, do you really think Anne is a good person?"

"Of course!"

Lu Xing answered without giving it much thought, thinking that the mother was worried that her daughter would make a mistake.

But the two maids heard something else the lady meant, especially Catherine. She frowned deeply and looked at the tall, white neck of Miss Anne sitting in front of her, wanting to see the soul of the man inside through the body!
The lady smiled gently and asked, "What does Mr. Lu Xing think of Annie's appearance?"

Lu Xing reached out to touch his face—actually Anne's. He reacted, put his hand down, and praised politely: "Ms. Anne is the daughter of the Duke. She has inherited the powerful and beautiful blood of Ms. Weisz and the centuries-old heritage of the Duke of Swinton. Her beauty is naturally moving!"

This is the standard tone of praise in the magical world, which Lu Xing learned from Annie's two best friends.

Weisz is placed before the Swinton family because Ms. Weisz has now ascended to the kingdom of God and become a servant of the Goddess of Holy Light.

The lady smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite. Just tell me what's on your mind. My husband and I won't mind."

Lu Xing was speechless for a moment. Is she serious?
"Please feel free to tell me what you think, Mr. Lu Xing," the Duchess asked politely.

Lu Xing thought for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "You know, Madam, for some reason, I met Annie."

Glancing at the master and servant opposite him, Lu Xing turned his head slightly and looked into the green eyes of the maid behind him. Seeing that the three of them "did not pursue the matter", he continued, "I think Annie is a beautiful, lovely, lively and cheerful lady."

"Do you like her?" the lady asked directly, and then added: "I mean I like her appearance."

"Of course! It's human nature to appreciate beauty."

Lu Xing answered quickly and had some guesses, but he was not sure and could not figure out why she did that.

"Does Mr. Lu Xing have a fiancée or a wife?"

The lady changed the subject and asked about his personal situation.

"No."

"If Annie is in danger on Earth, will you help her?"

"Ma'am, this is a matter of course!"

"If Anne did something very bad, would you accept and tolerate her?"

"Ma'am...what exactly do you want to ask?"

"Mr. Lu Xing, please feel free to answer, or not answer."

Anne's mother, Mrs. Carey, just smiled and kept looking at him.

It gave Lu Xing the illusion that he was being watched by his future mother-in-law!
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I don't think Annie is a bad kid. If she did something bad, she would feel guilty, and I would help her find a way to deal with it."

The lady nodded slightly and asked again: "What do you think is the most important thing between husband and wife?"

"..."

Lu Xing no longer wanted to guess Annie's mother's intentions, and only replied: "It's trust, mutual trust." "Do you trust Annie?"

"As an ordinary friend, I trust her, but if Madam wants me to look at it as a trust between husband and wife, I don't think so."

"You and Annie have indeed not known each other for long. Mr. Lu Xing, have you ever heard of the Goddess of Holy Light?"

The lady changed the subject again.

"I have some understanding, but not much."

"Annie believes in the goddess. Are you willing to follow her and believe in the goddess of light?"

"I don't want to!"

Lu Xing also answered quickly this time.

But this answer did not interrupt the lady's continued inquiry: "If Anne asks you, would you be willing..."

"Ma'am, she's already asked me!"

"Oh, I see... Are you willing to tolerate her belief in the goddess?"

"Is the Holy Light Goddess evil? For example, human sacrifice, oppression of believers, and deceiving mortals...hiss!"

Lu Xing was about to say something about what the evil god would do, but he suddenly felt a pain in Annie's butt, as if someone had pricked her with a needle.

It made him stand up suddenly.

The three of them covered their mouths and laughed, and did not feel it was strange.

The lady stood up and made a prayer to God, then said, "Annie is being watched by the goddess, Mr. Lu Xing, please do not say blasphemous words again."

After a pause, he continued, "The goddess wields the holy light and is a benevolent and great god. You are from Earth, and the fact that the goddess did not punish you for saying blasphemous words is enough to prove her tolerance!"

The needle pricked Annie's butt, isn't that God's punishment?!

Lu Xing cursed in his heart, but said: "Thank you, great and merciful Goddess of Holy Light!"

There was a faint sound of laughter in the sky, so subtle that it made people wonder if it was an illusion.

"If Anne and you have children, would you like one of them to inherit the Swinton family name and carry on the glory of the Swinton family?"

Anne's mother, Lady Bridget, asks another shocking question!

"lady!"

Lu Xing raised his hand and said, "Are you planning to marry Annie to me? If not, I think this question is irrelevant..."

"Do not."

The lady laughed and said, "You guessed it right. Anne's father and I are planning to marry Anne to you!"

"..."

Lu Xing was speechless. Although he had guessed it, he was still shocked to hear Annie's mother say it with her own ears.

He turned his head and glanced at the gray-silk maid and the other maids behind him, trying to observe from their expressions whether the Swinton family was joking with him.

Catherine said nothing, but her posture and expression were impeccable.

"Please forgive me, Mr. Lu Xing."

The lady sighed softly and said, "My family and the Swinton family are both conservative nobles who believe in the traditional teachings of the Holy Light Church. They do not engage in sexual intercourse before marriage, and they will remain loyal to their partners after marriage and will not have lovers."

"Even in the open-minded North, where nobles boast about the number of their lovers, the Swinton family and other conservative families have always maintained traditions! Although there are some children of traditional nobles who have abandoned traditions, this does not include the daughters of the Swinton family."

The lady added.

Lu Xing finally understood her and the Duke's concerns. After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm sorry, ma'am."

"You don't have to apologize, this isn't your fault."

Mrs. Carriage smiled and said, "Since it has happened, I formally ask you, Mr. Lu Xing, are you willing to marry Anne?"

Lu Xing is absolutely willing!
