Chapter 758: Are you so afraid of me?

For a while, Yun Li grabbed his mind, pretending to tease lightly, "I'm so

afraid of something wrong with me?"

"Well, I'm afraid."

Li Qiao’s magnanimousness caused an unspeakable sourness in his throat.

Three years ago, if it were not for Xiao Yehui, she would not have left the

border.

If she does not leave, there may be endless possibilities in the future.

Up to now, he has no chance to fight alongside Li Qiao inseparably.

What he can do for her is to do his best in the contest between her and Xiao

Yehui!

Yun Li looked away, his eyes were stained with bloodshot eyes, "Little boy, do

you know how much inside information I can provide you by staying here? The

cause of Xiao Yehui's mother's death, the relationship between the Xiao family

brothers, and even I found dozens of this manor I dismissed all the servants

years ago, you..."

"I don't need it." Li Qiao gave the answer calmly. She fixedly looked at Yun

Li's dyed white hair, and said every word, "Your safety is more important."

For Li Qiao like this, Yun Li could not say anything to refuse after all.

He let out a long sigh of relief, and laughed at himself: "You really are not

afraid of hitting my self-esteem at all, so sure I will be exposed?"

Li Qiao heard the compromise in Yun Li’s words, her expression relaxed a

little, "I just can't believe the Xiao family."

Yun Li lowered his head and nodded a cigarette, took two slaps, and asked:

"It's okay to follow you, but how did you get in?"

"Invited to attend." Li Qiao stood up slowly, "Change clothes and go to the

front of the castle, and find the entourage of the Marquis of Lawrence."

Yunli's smoking action, he said clearly: "No wonder I didn't see your names in

the banquet list, it turned out to be the Marquis of Lawrence."

Li Qiao didn't stay long, she handed the brooch and communicator hidden in her

shoulder strap to Yun Li, and after a few more instructions, she left the

stable stone house first.

Yun Li stood near the grille window and watched her walk into the night. He

looked down at the object in his palm, shook his head and laughed.

His stubbornness and persistence are still so vulnerable in front of her.

……

Li Qiao returned to the castle courtyard along the original road. It took only

20 minutes before and after, which was smoother than she had imagined, and

even gave her the illusion of being too smooth.

She suppressed the doubts in her heart, reappeared in the courtyard, glanced

at random, and saw Shang Yu sitting upright.

Li Qiao walked over with her skirt, under the dim light curtain, the man’s

stern expression gradually softened, pulled her arms, and slightly raised her

head: "found it?"

Oh, he found it.

Li Qiao nodded calmly, "He will go with us tonight."

Shang Yu touched her cool wrist, got up, took off the suit and put it on her

shoulder, "Let's go."

The banquet was still five minutes away. Li Qiao returned to the castle hall,

faintly feeling that the atmosphere was not quite right.

Along the way, she didn't see the bodyguards and the Cavaliers, and even the

guests of each other seemed to be a lot less.

Until entering the banquet hall, Li Qiao learned the ins and outs from their

conversation.

It turned out that half an hour ago, someone lost valuable jewels, and the

bodyguards and Cavaliers in the manor were sent to the front yard to help

search.

Those who lost jewels, lay councillors, Shi Luo.

Banquet hall, five long tables are placed in the hall, the standard noble high

table dinner format, the servants are arranged in two rows.

According to the ranks of the nobility, the Marquis of Li Qiao and Shang Yu

sit in the first row, and the opposite is Shi Luo.

As an entourage, Gu Chen could not enter the castle. At this moment, he was

squatting in the front yard, cursing resentfully by the lake and fountain.

As for Xia Siyu and others, the seats are at the fifth long table. As there is

no noble status, they can only sit in the guest seat.

A dinner is quite satisfactory.

Except for occasional toasting and drinking together, the atmosphere is

peaceful.

After the western dessert is over, the dinner is coming to an end.

The blocking screen in the middle of the banquet hall has been removed. This

type of banquet is naturally indispensable for the social dance party of the

European aristocracy.

When the melodious opening music sounded, Xiao Yehui, as the opening guest,

led a blond and blue-eyed woman in a starlight veil onto the dance floor.

In the eyes of Li Qiao, the aristocratic dinner is quite boring, and finally

there are some unexpected signs.

Shen Qingye said that Xiao Yehui will announce the marriage partner tonight.

And the woman he is holding at this moment, the daughter of the second crown

prince, Princess Margaret.

At the center of the dance floor, Xiao Yehui looked at Princess Margaret

affectionately, and the two danced to the music.

At this time, Shi Luo cleverly came to Li Qiao's side, smiled and said to the

dance floor, "My girlfriend, Princess Margaret."

Li Qiao was slightly shocked, it was true... unexpected.

After the dance ended, Xiao Yehui and two bowed in thanks, but they did not

leave the stage.

Princess Margaret took the opportunity to hold his arms and met everyone’s

gaze. Xiao Yehui said softly, “Let me introduce this beautiful lady next to

me. She is the daughter of the second crown prince of Weston. It will also be

the future Duchess of Childman, Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret."

The audience was in an uproar.

The marriage between the duke and the royal family can be called a strong

alliance.

It’s no wonder that this year the Duke of Childman’s Mansion has invited

guests to announce the marriage news.

This news will not come out tonight, it will definitely be on the front page

of the British Times tomorrow.

There are not a few people who congratulate on the spot. Xiao Yehui and

Princess Margaret’s seemingly congenial thanks have become the focus of the

evening.

Not long, other nobles also entered the dance floor to dance, and Xiao Yeyan’s

female companion was Ye Jing.

The Dance floor lasted for more than an hour. It was close to eight o'clock.

Everyone was invited to the castle platform of the Ducal Mansion to enjoy the

fireworks display of the Fireworks Festival.

Dark night, Li Qiao and Shang Yu calmly boarded the spiral staircase of the

platform. At the corner, a shadow of the Cavaliers slowly appeared.

Li Qiao knew that she would meet on a narrow road. She looked at Xiao Yehui

with no expression, and within a second, she looked away.

Xiao Yehui's brows and eyes were as gentle as jade, he walked slowly, smiling

unabated, "Marquis Lawrence."

Shang Yu's suit is still draped on Li Qiao, and the Windsor knot on the

neckline has long been taken off. Even in a simple black shirt, his silent

aura cannot be underestimated.

The man hooked his thin lips, his eyes were as deep as the sea, "Master Xiao."

It is probably impossible for Shang Yu to call the Duke and give him a

gentleman's salute.

Xiao Yehui did not hesitate about this, stood still with his hands held down,

and responded with a smile: "I heard that before the death of the old marquis,

he gave up the position of the marquis to his nephew. It turned out to be Mr.

Shang. But... the old marquis is a pure Westerner. The ancestry of the foreign

surname does not seem to have a record of marriage with the Chinese.

Therefore, Mr. Shang can become the successor of Marquis, which really

surprised me."

Shang Yu pocketed with one hand, his deep eyes lifted, and a thin smile hung

on his lips, “I’m overwhelmed by the prize, it will surprise Young Master

Xiao. The old Marquis must be very honored.”
