Volume 3 Chapter 136 - The strange study (1/2)

“Aiya.” Still suddenly called out as she slightly knit her brows.

Liz who was helping Still prepare for bed on the side suddenly asked her in a concerned voice, “What is it? Madame? Do you feel uncomfortable?”

Still shook her head with a faint smile, “It’s nothing, it’s just this little fellow kicking me again.”

Liz revealed a smile, “It seems like the young master is more mischievous than the master, he likes to cause trouble in the stomach when he’s bored.”

Still shook her head, “It’s not certain that it’ll be a boy. Actually, I would rather have a daughter.”

“But a daughter can’t be a successor. The master not only has a title, he has the large Frestech Chamber of Commerce. Does the madame not want a son to inherit this?” Liz said.

Still knit her brows as she looked at Liz. She wanted to refute this, but she knew that Liz was right.

Although there were female successors and even queens on the Sines Continent, according to tradition, it would be normally the son who inherited the family property.

Otherwise, his highness Eric wouldn’t be able to be in a much higher position than her highness Seveni with the support of the traditional nobles.

“It’s still good. Xu Yi always said that he preferred a daughter, so even if it is a daughter, he would be very happy.” Still touched her belly as she comforted herself.

Perhaps it could feel the touch of its mother, the child in her belly became restless again which made Still knit her brows.

“This little fellow…..There’s still two more months, he just can’t wait to come out?” Still couldn’t help smiling. Thinking about it, she stood up, “Forget it, Liz, let’s go walk around a bit and let him stop.”

“Alright, we’ll take the young master for a walk.” Liz supported Still with a smile and headed out.

After Xu Yi left, the Falling Star Manor lacked its master and seemed more lonely than usual. Then after Linda was sent off by Still, it became even more lonely. Now that it was night, there were only four people in the manor including Vivian and Teresa, so it was naturally very quiet.

But Still liked this quiet. Adding in the fact that she didn’t like outsiders, she never agreed to Xu Yi’s idea of hiring more servants.

Looking at Liz beside her, Still thought that although Liz was a slave brought back by Xu Yi from the Stantine Duchy, Xu Yi had never treated her and Linda like slaves. He had always treated them like family like Vivian.

Now that everyone had been together for a long time, Still was used to them and had also treated them like family.

Thinking of Linda, Still suddenly asked Liz, “Liz, I sent Linda this time and kept you here, so do you hate me?”

Liz had a smile on her face, but when she heard Still asked this, she jumped up in fear. She had a shocked look and kept shaking her head, “Madame, how could I hate you? Please don’t misunderstand, I would definitely not! Really!”

Seeing Liz panic, Still patted her hand with a smile and comforted her, “Don’t be nervous, I didn’t mean this. I just wanted to ask you, are you a bit dissatisfied that you didn’t get to go take care of Xu Yi with Linda? Be honest.”

Seeing Still’s serious expression, Liz hesitated a bit before nodding, “Un…..I’m very jealous of Linda. She can serve master alone and be with master…..Ah, no, madame, I don’t mean that I don’t like serving you, I also like being with you……”

“It’s fine, it’s normal that you like to serve Xu Yi since he is your master.” Still said with a smile.

“Un…..Actually I’m very jealous of Linda mainly…..mainly because……Master is out there alone and is lonely at night, so Linda can be with him…..” Liz’s face turned red and she lowered her head.

Still gave a soft laugh, “You don’t need to be jealous, you don’t know if that blockhead Xu Yi can understand Linda’s intention and will accept her.”

Hearing this, Liz couldn’t help raising her head and saying to Still with a bitter smile, “Madame…..don’t be angry if I tell you the truth.”

“Speak, what is there to be angry about?”

Liz hesitated a bit before saying, “Actually there are many times where I’m curious if master is slow in this aspect. Back then…..how did you get with him? Of course, you are the most beautiful woman I have seen, but I feel that master shouldn’t care about appearance.”

“You’re right.” Still said with a nod, “This blockhead Xu Yi, he really is slow when it comes to this. I got together with him because we had a lot of contact in the beginning, I knew him before the others. If we were put on the same playing field, Evita might have even a bigger advantage.”

“Chief Evita?” Liz knit her brows in thought, “Madame, since you are worried about chief Evita, why do you have her have less contact with master?”

“This matter, doing more makes it easier to create the opposite effect. And Xu Yi is just together with Evita for work, so how could I stop them?” Still shook her head, “Xu Yi definitely wouldn’t like me doing something as petty as this. I think the reason why he liked me in the beginning should mainly be because of my personality, so I have to remind myself that I shouldn’t become someone he dislikes.”

Liz gave a sigh, “Madame, you really do love master, caring so much about his thoughts.”
