Pregnant female is super soft and fragrant, the orc hugs the waist and kisses

Chapter 144 begins.

Just when Smellian felt that everything was happening like a dream, there was a gentle knock on the door and the old housekeeper's voice came: "Smellian, is the lady awake? Does she need Dr. Eugene to come and check?"

Hearing the old butler's voice, Lu Xia put on his clothes and was about to stand up, but he staggered. Fortunately, Smellian held him up.

Lu Xia didn't want to admit that her legs were a little weak at this moment. She glanced at Smellian, who was holding her in his arms. The other party's nervous expression was as real as it was real. Lu Xia raised her hand and gently stroked the side of his ear, saying softly, "Go tell the housekeeper that there is no need to send for Doctor Eugene. I'm fine."

Smelian carefully placed her on the bed, nodded, and obediently opened the door. He told the old housekeeper what Lu Xia had asked him to convey.

The old butler looked at Smellian: "Madam, does she need anything else?"

"No more, let the kitchen prepare lunch."

The old butler said ok and turned to leave.

Smellian closed the door again, turned to look at Lu Xia who was sitting on the bed, and walked over to ask cautiously, "Are you really not feeling unwell?"

Lu Xia raised her eyes, looked at him, and raised the corners of her lips: "Does back pain count?"

Smellian was slightly startled, then realized what she was talking about. His cheeks flushed and he quickly said, "Then I'll help you press it."

As he was about to reach out, Lu Xia held him down and said with a smile, "Go and run some bath water for me. I want to take a bath."

She knew very well that massage alone would not relieve the pain in her body.

Smelian didn't hesitate and turned around to go to the bathroom. At this moment, let alone just running a bath, even if Lu Xia asked him to go through fire and water, he would be happy to do it.

Lu Xia didn't get tired of him, but accepted him instead. For him, this was so much that he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

The bath water was quickly prepared. Smelian came back and carried Lu Xia into the bathroom. When he was about to serve Lu Xia, he was driven out by Lu Xia.

"Smellian, I can do it myself. You should go out and fix yourself. We'll meet in the restaurant later."

Smellian hesitated and looked at Lu Xia worriedly: "I can wait outside."

"No need, Smellian, be obedient and take a good rest. I'm really fine."

Seeing that it was Lu Xia's insistence, Smelian couldn't refuse, so he nodded in agreement. After coming out of the bathroom and closing the door, Smelian hesitated for a moment before returning to his room.

Just as I was leaving, I saw Cecil waiting at the door.

The moment their eyes met, the jealousy in Cecil's eyes became real.

Smellian shrugged and turned to leave. He had nothing to explain to Cecil, and he didn't feel indebted. Even without him, Duke Lu Xia would not have chosen Cecil. He knew very well that Cecil had not yet completely caught Lu Xia's eye.

Cecil naturally knew that he had no right to be jealous of Smellian, but he could not control his emotions.

Smelian spent these three days in Duke Luxia's room, and every day was a torment for him.

He watched Smellian turn around, swallowing the sarcasm on the tip of his tongue and saying, "Xia Xia, is she okay?" Smellian paused slightly and turned to look at him: "You can't call me Xia Xia yet, get Xia Xia's permission first."

After saying this, Smelian went back to the room without any pause. He also needed to quickly rest himself so that he could go to the restaurant to wait for Lu Xia.

Cecil watched Smelian leave, then turned to look at the closed door. He wanted to push it open and rush in to see Duke Lu Xia, but he knew very well that he did not have that right. It was none of his business who Lu Xia favored. Just as Smelian said, he was not even qualified to call her Xia Xia, so how could he be jealous? He laughed at himself and left the corridor silently.

Lu Xia poured spiritual spring water into the water. After soaking in it, she felt the soreness in her body gradually disappear.

Her body returned to normal and her mind was exceptionally clear. Thinking about everything that happened at Victoria's public banquet that day, she knew very well that this incident might have nothing to do with Her Majesty the Queen. It was something Victoria and Lady Dayne did on their own, but she didn't know whether the Dafelno family had pushed for it.

But this matter cannot be let go like this.

Just as she was thinking this, the terminal on her wrist started to ring. It was a voice invitation from Madam Dana. Lu Xia did not refuse. After the call was connected, Madam Dana's voice came: "Xia Xia, are you okay?"

"I'm fine now, Lady Dana."

"I'm glad you're okay. I've been trying to contact you these past few days, but you might not be able to answer. I'm sorry for what happened at Victoria's public banquet. If they hadn't used me, nothing like this would have happened to you."

"I don't blame you. I know you are innocent in this matter."

"Xia Xia, I will not cover up for what Madam Dayne and Victoria did. I have collected some things in the past three days and I am sending them to you for your review. It is up to you to decide whether to submit them to Her Majesty the Queen."

Lu Xia didn't expect that before she even started what she wanted to do, Mrs. Dana had already done it for her. Obviously, Mrs. Dana was making up for it. Even though this matter had nothing to do with her, it was indeed caused by her. Lu Xia thanked her. After ending the call, Lu Xia opened the document. It was just as she thought. It was the work of Mrs. Dai Yin and Victoria, as well as the instigation of the Dafelno family.

Mrs. Dai Yin and Victoria did this to avenge Lu Xia's previous actions, and wanted her to bear the reputation of seducing someone else's husband.

The Dafelno family's goal is to use her to get Dong Ke away from Victoria.

If something really happened between Dong Ke and her, even if he couldn't become her concubine, he would at least become one of her servants.

Obviously they felt that Dong Ke was better off as her husband than staying with Victoria, and reputation was not something they considered at all.

For a moment, Lu Xia really didn't know what to say about the Dafelno family.

But no matter what, this incident has caused harm to her and Smelian, and she will not let it go easily.

Even if Her Majesty the Queen still tries to cover up the truth and not make it public for the sake of face, there will still be the necessary punishment.

After reading the information, she sent a message to Lady Dana: "I will meet with Her Majesty the Queen to explain this matter in person."

Mrs. Dana quickly responded to her, and her position was very clear: "Okay, if you need me to do anything, just tell me."

After finishing her call with Madam Dana, Lu Xia dried herself and came out of the bathroom. This time, Smellian had cleaned her up very thoroughly, so she didn't need to clean up any more. After changing her clothes and leaving the room, she was about to go downstairs when she received a voice call from Duke Leslie. After answering the call, she heard Duke Leslie's panicked voice: "Grace is missing at the front."
