The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 284 The Vampire Duchess ([-])
Duke Marler Edward's outing was a bit long this time around.

When night fell over Edward Manor, he had not returned yet.

When it was time for dinner, only Lin Shu and Tomus were eating in the dining room with shining golden wall lamps.

The nobles of this era have extremely complicated and exquisite dining etiquette.

It can be seen only from the order of placing the tableware, the use of tableware of different sizes for different foods, the order of eating and the removal of the plate.

And the most important meal of the day is the dinner at night.

Therefore, although there were only two people dining in the dining room tonight, Lin Shu and Tomus, there were seven or eight servants who were responsible for serving meals back and forth, and there were even more chefs and maids who were busy in the kitchen.

In line with the principle of pursuing delicacy, beauty and delicacy, each dish on the long dining table is exquisitely plated and served in very small portions.

The two hosts sitting at the dining table were each enjoying their delicious dinner silently.

Lin Shu held the knife in her left hand and the fork in her right hand, and slowly and quickly cut into a piece of roasted chicken on the plate.

This piece of grilled chicken is not directly grilled over an open fire, but the chef carefully marinated it, then wrapped the chicken layer by layer with the prepared batter, and then put it on the grill on the fire grill for grilling.

As the grill pan heats up, the outer layer of batter transforms into layers of crispy crust topped with raw sesame seeds.

When the dish is cooked and served, when Lin Shu cuts the food with a knife, the crispy layers of sesame puff pastry on the outside will make a crisp and pleasant sound, while the thick chicken juice inside is mixed with vanilla. The breath floated out immediately.

The aroma of meat and pastry are perfectly intertwined.

When Lin Shu used a fork to pick up a piece of chicken with puff pastry and put it into her mouth, an indescribable deliciousness burst out in the countless taste buds on her tongue.

During the meal, Lin Shu would take a sip of the clear and sweet fruit wine from time to time.

These fruit wines are not intoxicating, but can also properly promote the digestion of food and increase the pleasure of eating. They are relatively common table wines.

And when Lin Shu was eating quietly, exuding the aura of a noble lady in her gestures, Louise, who was huddled in the corner of the dining room near the door, peeked at Lin Shu's position invisibly.

After she looked away, a pair of green eyeballs rolled unconsciously in the sockets, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

After Lin Shu and Tomus finished their dinner and got up and left the table to go back to the house to rest, the maids like Louise who were guarding the dining room began to come forward to clean up the remaining wine leftovers on the table.

Louise, who was forced to do the same thing as the other maids, had no expression on her face, but a sense of unwillingness welled up in her heart.

Why should a young girl like her who wants good looks and a good figure have to clean, wash dishes, and serve tea and water with the mediocre girls around her who have bucket waists and faces as round as apples? Kind of work?

Is it because she was not born with a golden spoon in her mouth?

But this is not fair!
Obviously she deserves a better life, why should she be restricted by her background?

She doesn't want to be an inferior person, she wants to climb up, and she also wants to have a good life, and the position of Duchess is her goal!

Louise, who was distracted in her mind, accidentally poked her hand with a fish bone while wiping the table, causing her to cry out instantly in pain.

Her sudden scream startled the other maids, who didn't know what happened.

When they found out that Louise had been stabbed by a fishbone, they couldn't help but blame her for making a fuss.

These people also got along with Louise for a few days, and they generally got a lot of insight into the temperament of this new partner.

At this moment, the girls were frightened by Louise. Although they didn't say anything directly on the face, they still didn't like it in their hearts.

In their view, since everyone is a maid, it is their duty to do these housework. Why is it only you, Louise, who always make a fuss and hate this and that?
Is it possible that because you look better than all of us, you can't do these things?
If you don't want to work for others, then why did you come to Edward Manor to apply for a job as a maid?
You don't know how to be a maid for others, or you come here with the idea of ​​becoming a master?

When the remnants on the table were cleared away and the dishes were taken to the kitchen for cleaning, Louise shrank back.She had just pricked a small hole in her hand from a fish bone and didn't want to work anymore.

And she didn't want to wash the dishes at all. The dishwater was always greasy, and letting her white and tender little hands soak in it was simply a kind of injury and chronic suicide.

A small, straight-tempered maid present noticed Louise's behavior of being lazy with sharp eyes, and immediately handed over a small basket containing bowls to the latter without any politeness.

"Here you are, Louise. This job is what you should do. Don't be lazy in doing things. The housekeeper doesn't pay us less wages every month."

Louise hated the behavior of the little maid, but she still nodded weakly.

"I see, I didn't intend to be lazy, I'll take them to the kitchen and wash them off now."

However, after she delivered the small basket of dishes, knives and forks to the kitchen, she found an excuse of hurting her hand, and pushed the work in her hand to a kind old lady in the kitchen.

Although this old lady is kind-hearted, she is not stupid.

She could see that Louise was not willing to work and was looking for an excuse to be lazy, and she also remembered that the girl ran to the living room and outside every three days, probably because she wanted to show her face in front of the masters.

In her opinion, this kind of behavior means that her mind is not on the right path, and she only wants to take a shortcut.

In this world, young and beautiful girls rely on their good foundation, so they always think of shortcuts, and they like to trade their beauty and body for a moment of prosperity and wealth, thinking that this is a good deal.

But how can people compare themselves with goods?

Besides, if people always focus on things that are beyond their reach, it is easy to become unbalanced.

Once people's hearts are out of balance, sometimes they will resort to any means to achieve their goals.

For this reason, the old lady who didn't expose Louise's lies washed the dishes, knives and forks for her, and tried to persuade the young girl in front of her with the attitude of someone who had experienced it.

"Louise, you are so young now, smart and energetic. With your own strength, you can work steadily in the manor for a few years. When you save a sum of money and return to the country, you can marry and live a comfortable life. It's time to wear it."

"I know that little girls like you are always tempted, first by love, and second by power and money. But if a person is lost for a long time, his heart will not be able to find his way back."

"Louise, you have to be careful and don't follow the same old path that others have already taken..."

For these words of the old lady, Louise just listened casually as it went in from one ear to the other, and didn't take it to heart.

She thought that the old lady, an outsider, didn't understand her at all.

She even did the most intimate things with Duke Mahler, so how could she stop at such a critical moment?
Besides, just tonight, she still has an extremely important thing to do.
