Chapter 187 Banquet.

The news that Duke Luxia's Mansion had a new male servant soon reached the ears of Duke Leslie, Lady Raphaeld and Lady Dana. They had heard about this defective male servant from the Earl Li's family before and knew that his relationship with the Earl Li's Mansion was not harmonious and that the female mistress of the Earl Li's family was not his original mother.

Otherwise, he would not have been sent to Duke Lu Xia, who had a bad reputation, as a consort.

This was also the price he paid for severing ties with the Earl's Mansion.

But now it seems that this was not a price, but a lucky choice.

I heard that on the first night Simon stayed at Duke Luxia's Mansion, the female owner of Earl Li's Mansion broke a set of tea sets at home.

After all, the rumors about Duke Lu Xia are no longer as bad as before. She has become the most promising new female noble in the empire.

Nowadays, I don’t know how many people want to have a relationship with Duke Lu Xia and want to send their sons to him, but he doesn’t want them anymore.

At first she wanted to push Simon into the fire pit, but now it seems that this is not a fire pit at all, it is clearly a safe haven. She even regretted not sending her own son there, but instead let Simon get away with it.

Simon's dam had only one male son, and he had no right to inherit the Earl's Palace, but he could inherit the inheritance left by his dam.

For this, Simon agreed to the current female mistress of the Earl's Mansion's request to make him the Duchess of Luxia's servant.

Now it seems that all this has made Simon happy.

But Lu Xia didn't know what Earl Li was thinking.

The celebration banquet that Lady Dana held for Cecil, the one who had undergone gene fusion, had arrived as scheduled.

That evening, Lu Xia, Smellian, Cecil and Simon attended the banquet in their best attire.

Duke Leslie was also invited. Looking at the several males around Lu Xia, only Grace was missing, which made Duke Leslie feel very complicated.

But Lu Xia did not neglect her. When he arrived at the venue, he did not greet Mrs. Dana first, but greeted Duke Leslie first. He did not want her to feel that Grace was not there and that she was estranged from the Duke Leslie's Mansion.

Prince Li Mang took all of this in. When Lu Xia went to greet Lady Dana, he said to Duke Leslie, "Xia Xia is still so considerate. She was afraid you wouldn't mind, so she came over to greet you first."

Duke Leslie naturally knew that today was Lady Dana and Cecil's home game, and she wouldn't mind even if Lu Xia went to greet Lady Dana first. However, Lu Xia came to greet her first, which made her feel very touched and warm.

"She's always been so thoughtful. It's just a pity that Grace couldn't keep such good luck. Alas."

Having said that, she sighed for no reason. She had a lot to say, but she also knew that the current occasion was not right, so she could only suppress her complicated emotions and smile naturally.

Prince Li Mang knew that she was in a bad mood, so he patted her shoulder and said comfortingly, "I heard that Xiuska has already chosen a new female master."

"Yes, he has a long history of bad deeds. I am grateful that someone wants him. Although he is only a viscount, he was able to be a househusband in the past, which is really good. I hope he will not disappoint me this time."

All she asked of Xiuska now was that he be more obedient and stop causing trouble for her. She had no other expectations.

Prince Li Mang naturally knew what she was thinking, so he nodded and said nothing more.

Here, Lu Xia has appeared in front of everyone with Mrs. Dana, followed by Cecil.

Smellian and Simon, in such an occasion, were both tactful enough not to steal Cecil's limelight. Simon took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray and said to Smellian, "Cecil said he was very happy today."

Smellian nodded. "Today is his big day. He deserves to be happy. What about you? Did Xia Xia say when she'll hold a celebration party for you?"

Simon nodded, a smile in his eyes. "The Duke is very thoughtful. She said that after Cecil's celebration banquet is over, she will hold one for me at the Duke's Mansion."

Smellian knew a little about his relationship with the Earl Li's Mansion, so he wasn't surprised to hear this. He nodded and said, "If you need anything, just let me know."

He had no objection to Simon's existence. After all, they had known about Simon's existence long before.

The only difference between them is first come first served.

Simon smiled.

Everyone who came to the banquet knew that Cecil had become a gene fusionist. He was the third defective male around Lu Xia to become a gene fusionist. Everyone was only envious of him.

Now, no matter what happens to Duke Lu Xia, they don’t seem to be surprised.

They just regretted that they had misjudged Duke Lu Xia and did not send their own son over earlier. But now Duke Lu Xia is no longer the same Duke Lu Xia, and it is impossible for them to send their own son over.

Now they can only envy.

Some people noticed that Lu Xia came to the public banquet hosted by Mrs. Dana this time and brought another male who had never appeared before.

After learning about Simon's identity, people were full of envy for him.

Someone privately said: "He looks very energetic and good-looking."

"Why, are you still tempted? I advise you to give up. It's obvious that he's no ordinary defective male now. He might even be a gene fusion."

"I think Duke Lu Xia is quite interesting. All the defective males around him have become gene fusionists one by one. It's really enviable."

"Yeah, we can only envy them."

Facing the sour words of the crowd, Lu Xia was unaware of it. She brought Cecil and accompanied Mrs. Dana around the banquet center and gained a lot of connections.

But Cecil always remembered Lu Xia's current physical condition and didn't want her to work too hard for him, so Cecil called Smelian and asked him to accompany Lu Xia to rest.

Upon hearing this, Madam Dana asked, “Is Xia Xia tired?”

Just as Lu Xia was about to speak, Cecil said, "I'll accompany you. Let me go and get some rest."

Seeing how considerate he was, Madam Dana smiled and said to Lu Xia, "Then Xia Xia, you go and have a rest. Cecil can stay here."

In fact, Lu Xia wanted to say that he was fine, but facing everyone's concern, he did not refuse. After thanking Mrs. Dana with a smile, he followed Smelian away.

Simon had already prepared a meal for her when she went there. Lu Xia ate something before leaving, but not much. She must have been hungry after all the socializing.

Smellian asked the waiter to bring a glass of milk and placed it in front of Lu Xia: "A lot of people came tonight."
