”Uh, actually, Dell, you just tell your subordinates to do these things, you don't have to do them yourself!” Mary explained when she saw Song Dell rubbing her hands together.
”Eh, then I'm still just an idler?”
Song Dai Er said dejectedly. She really wanted to have something that would distract her and make her forget about the feeling of hiding in her heart and tormenting her.
”Actually, we don't have much time. For example, Logue just said that he wants to eat steak at noon. So now, we have to go to the kitchen and inform them so that they can prepare!” Mary explained.
”Oh!” Then let's go! ” Song Dale gave a muffled grunt of assent before leaving the room with Mary.
”Hello, Miss Dell!” As soon as he walked out of the room, a woman wearing a simple black dress greeted him with a nod of her head. Song Dai Er was slightly startled, but she immediately reacted with a smile.
However, things seemed to be endless. There were at least a dozen people greeting her on the short walk from the bedroom to the kitchen on the first floor. Song Dai Er was baffled and asked Mary, ”Mary, why does it seem so strange that these people are all greeting me?”
”Dell, you're the housekeeper now. In this building, other than Logue, you're the oldest. You're their superior, so if they don't greet you, who will they ask?” Mary was almost unable to bear Song Dai'er's stupid question. After all, she also married into the tyrannical Huangfu Villa from the illustrious NanGong family! Had she never seen such etiquette before?
”Oh, oh, I'm not used to it yet!” Song Dai'er giggled, her muddleheaded personality seemed to be struggling.
”I've truly lost to you. What's there to not get used to? For example, when you were at the Huangfu Villa, you would have asked anyone you met for 'Madam', no?”
”Yes, yes, that's true!”
When Song Dai'er heard Mary say this, her heart obviously hurt a bit, but she immediately suppressed it again. In the days at Huangfu Villa, from the dream-like sweetness at the beginning to the reality and pain in the end, she had always wanted to erase them from her memory.
The horse farm was located at the eastern side of the mountain plains. It was wide and the surroundings were surrounded by greenery. The occasional sound of a few horses could be heard amidst the serenity, giving people the feeling that they wanted to ride their horses and gallop on the desert.
He walked into the yard and touched the wooden fence at the side of the horse farm. He remembered that when he was young, whenever he was unhappy, he would quietly hide here.
However, today, it seemed like Roger was not the only one here! Logue looked over at the horse farm, his eyes twinkling.
”Master Logue, you're home?” Suddenly, a voice came from behind, causing Logue to be stunned. He turned around to look, and his heart skipped a beat.
”Claude, why are you here?”
Roger looked at Claude, who was wearing a black riding jacket, stepping on top of a burgundy horse. Just as he was about to enter the arena, he gave way and asked Claude a question in surprise.
”Since I've failed my mission, I naturally have to report this to the old tutor!” Claude, who was seated on a horse, pointed to a figure not far away.
”Are you saying that Huangfu Yun has finally made things clear with you?” He knew who it was, but what made him even weirder was that according to Huangfu Yunyin's style, even after knowing Claude's identity, he was still able to return to the Laio Family safely.
”Yes, he has made it clear. It's as if a stone has been dropped from my heart, making it easy for me!” Claude laughed bitterly and pulled on his reins, preparing to leave. At that moment, he turned around and said to Logue who was still standing, ”When I went to the stable earlier, I found out that Bai Yan has been dead for more than two years. I don't know if you know!”
When Claude left, Logue stood there for a long time. The wind brushed against his eyes, making them feel dry. The white horse that he had told Dale about this morning was the white swallow. It turned out that it had been dead for more than two years. When Bai Yan was a teenager, her father had given her to him as a gift. At that time, Bai Yan was still a young foal that had just been born.
Waving his head, unwilling to let any unpleasant memories surface, Logue turned and left the stable. Bai Yan was already dead, so why had he come to the stable?
”Master Logue, please wait!”
”Uncle Mu, is there something you need?” Luoge asked as he turned around to look at the approaching Uncle Mu.
”The old master invites you over!” Uncle Mubai answered Luoge's question meticulously, his expression as stern as ever.
Looking at Uncle Mu's expressionless face, Logue wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. He knew that this was the face of someone who had lived in the Leo clan all his life, and was always strict and meticulous, as if he was deeply afraid that a relaxed smile would cause any kind of mistake.
”Master Logue, this way please!” Although Uncle Mu didn't know what was going on in the mind of this weird young master who would always make Lei Ou worry, this still wouldn't stop Logue from being his favorite child amongst the young masters and mistresses of the clan.
”That's true. During the time I've been here, I haven't visited my father and mother!” Perhaps in such a deep family, he didn't mind the indifference he felt towards his loved ones. For example, Fiona and Charles's struggle for benefits, or that indifference he had towards Huangfu Yun and his mother, all of these were enough to numb him.
After passing through the running stables, Logue stepped onto the steps and walked toward the old man sitting in the stands.
