The outdoor vision was dim, and Qi Huan could only vaguely see two figures, getting closer and closer to them.

Various speculations flashed in Qi Huan's mind. The servants in the mansion probably wouldn't walk like this. One of them was a little taller and was bending over and walking quickly.

The person who came was either the player who got the news, or some unknown creature. Qi Huan still remembered the theme of this dungeon, so it must have supernatural power.

Qi Huan had no choice but to predict the worst situation. When the opponent got closer to within two meters, he quickly dodged and put the scalpel on the opponent's neck.

The other party didn't notice anyone under the wall, so Qi Huan easily captured him.

With the light through the window, Qi Huan could clearly see the face of the person who came, young and full of vigor, it was Meng Xiaowu, and behind him was his younger sister, Meng Xiaochun.

Meng Xiaowu never expected that someone would come outside to eavesdrop before him, so he took a step back with a look of astonishment, and knocked down a flowerpot beside the flowerbed.

Qi Huan felt bad, and hurriedly pulled Meng Xiaowu to a blind spot under the window, and Meng Xiaochun quickly followed.

Soon, the windows opened, and the voice of the hostess Nancy came from above their heads.

"There's no one out there... probably the wild cat is in spring."

When the window was closed, Qi Huan breathed a sigh of relief and put down the scalpel in his hand.

Meng Xiaowu said in a very low voice: "Why are you here?"

Qi Huan asked back: "What about you?"

Everyone was deadlocked, Meng Xiaowu had to explain in advance: "I have a specific ability, I can predict a certain scene, and I saw them chatting, so I came here. What ability do you use?"

"I found out about it." Seeing that Meng Xiaowu was still puzzled, Qi Huan added, "Money ability."

Meng Xiaowu was smarter than Wenxiu, and after turning a corner, he realized that what Qi Huan was talking about was a homophonic stalk. He worked hard to use his ability to predict clues, but Qi Huan despicably used money to buy NPCs.

Why doesn't the system set him up as a local tyrant?Simply hateful!Meng Xiaowu had a pale face.

Qi Huan didn't know what Meng Xiaowu was thinking, and he didn't want to explore. The people in the room were talking again, and the content of their conversation was the main point.

The hostess Nancy who just opened the window was the first to speak, "I think Mr. Meng Xiaowu is very suitable, and his manners are cultivated. I like it very much."

The color on Meng Xiaowu's face turned into joy. He was keenly aware of the intention of the host and hostess to invite them during the afternoon tea conversation, and the dinner confirmed his guess. The content of the hostess' discussion was like a blind date market. I can't wait to get all the family backgrounds of these men of marriageable age out.

Knowing the NPC's intentions, Meng Xiaowu was quite cooperative with the hostess' inquiries. Maybe after becoming Miss Beth's fiancé, Miss Beth would tell him the answer to clear the level directly.

In order to improve his core competitiveness, Meng Xiaowu also purposely beautified his background a little bit. In the eyes of normal people, choosing a son-in-law should be like him.

Among the male players, Lao Hu is too old, Mo Qi behaves clumsily, Wen Xiu only knows to eat and drink with Meng Xiaochun, and the only competitive player is Qi Huan, but Qi Huan is too beautiful to be neutral. There is no advantage in the elders.

Moreover, Qi Huan didn't know whether he was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. The hostess Nancy asked him several times, but he pretended not to hear him.

Before meeting Qi Huan in the corner, Meng Xiaowu felt that Qi Huan was really stupid, but if a person can use the random character set released by the system to obtain key information, would he really not understand the style?

Meng Xiaowu couldn't tell now.

But no matter what, now the hostess Nancy likes him the most, and it is not in vain that he has been courteous to the hostess all afternoon.

In the room, Mr. Otto pondered for a while, "He is very good, with a good family background, a generation of nobles, and a personable person, but I don't think he is very suitable for Beth."

Meng Xiaowu outside the window was not happy for three seconds, but Mr. Otto directly rejected the possibility of him becoming the son-in-law.

"What's wrong with him? I think he and Beth are a match made in heaven. Among these guests, can you pick someone better than him?" The hostess Nancy's tone was a little hurried, and she directly asked Meng Xiaowu The words came out all at once, "Do you want to marry Beth to that musician who only knows how to eat and drink?"

"The musician seems to be me?" Wenxiu's brain slowed down a bit, and then he realized that the hostess Nancy was talking about him, and he was immediately dissatisfied.

Qi Huan shook his head, not knowing what to say.

Mr. Otto said: "Although Mr. Meng is excellent in all aspects, he concealed something from us about his wealth. I did some research on them before inviting him. Today’s words are unclear, the purpose is not pure, Beth’s character is simple, I’m afraid she can’t handle it.”

"So what? Hiding something from us means that he knows the purpose of inviting them here this time, and hopes to be Beth's husband. One lie in ten sentences is harmless. In my opinion, as long as he is willing to tell Beth Heart, that's the most important thing."

"But does Beth like him?" Mr. Otto turned to his daughter who had been silent all the time, "Our opinion is not important, which one do you like, daughter?"

The room fell silent for a while, waiting for Beth's reply.

Beth's shy voice sounded, "I...I actually like Mr. Qi Huan."

"No." "I think so."

The two voices appeared at the same time, and everyone outside the window looked at Qi Huan in unison, especially Meng Xiaowu. He didn't expect that Mr. Otto would investigate their backgrounds in advance, and he was misled by his cleverness, which made Mr. Otto have a bad impression of him. Jia, became a liar in aristocratic skin.

And Qi Huan is the strongest opponent he considers, so he really wants to hear why the hostess and hostess in the room have completely different evaluations of him.

"Anyone can, but Mr. Qi Huan can't." The hostess Nancy denied Qi Huan aloud, "This afternoon and evening, Beth is sitting next to him, but look at how he treats Beth, with a lack of interest Obviously, she didn't pay much attention to Beth, Beth is my precious daughter, and I will not let her marry a man who doesn't like her."

"I think he is very safe. Looking at his young age, he is very good at things. He is polite and humble. The annual profit of the porcelain business at home can buy half of Carnaby Street. He also humbly said that it is only a small business. He treats Beth's initiative. She is also reserved enough and not frivolous. As for emotional matters, you can cultivate them slowly. There are so many love at first sight in the world. Most of them are long-lasting feelings. After Beth marries him, the two of them will be happy."

The hostess Nancy was anxious, "Impossible, my intuition tells me that they will not be happy together, and no matter how rich his family is, so what? Can we still afford to raise a daughter? Qi Huan just It’s just a new aristocrat, Mr. Meng’s status is more than a little bit inferior, do you want others to know that Mr. Otto married his most beloved eldest daughter to a nouveau riche with a shallow foundation?”

"What's wrong with the nouveau riche? Don't they earn their money?" Mr. Otto seemed a little angry, and his tone was slightly rough, "Who do you look down on? And with Qi Huan's economic strength, Beth Marrying in the future won't make you suffer, so you let Beth marry Mr. Meng, and you can't even afford a servant with him, so you want to take care of the housework yourself?"

"What did you say? What do you mean? Beth is your eldest daughter!" The hostess was obviously also angry. "When we grow old, everything here will belong to Beth, and she will be your sole heir."

Hearing this, everyone outside the window knows that today's highlight is coming. Obviously, the husband and wife have disagreements about the issue of inheritance. Qi Huan remembers that Britain has a patriarchal inheritance system. If there is a male heir, the male heir is preferred. If there is no male heir , choose the eldest daughter to inherit, and the other children will not get any inheritance.

"I don't want an inheritance." Beth whispered.

The hostess Nancy didn't expect the eldest daughter to say that, so she took a breath and let her go out first.

After the door was closed, Mr. Otto said, "We all know that Alice is the real heir."

"But you just have the heart to let Beth marry a poor and unrepentant nobleman, I think he only has a good reputation!" Nancy argued with reason, with a bit of resentment in her tone.

When Qi Huan heard this, he had doubts in his heart. Logically speaking, Beth was the heir, but why did Mr. Otto say that Alice was the real heir?

Moreover, Qi Huan remembered that the heroine Nancy was Otto's later wife. She was originally just a nanny who took care of the children at home. It is rare that she has such a deep affection for the eldest lady Beth.

"That's why I said that Qi Huan is the best candidate. Beth will be happy marrying him," Otto said.

"Impossible, I can't let Beth marry him. She was originally in the circle of high society. Now you let her go to that class. What do you let her friends think of her? I will never let her be someone else's." laughing stock."

The room was quiet, and Mr. Otto was obviously persuaded.

"If you say that, there is only one candidate that meets your requirements—Moqi." Mr. Otto analyzed: "His family has rich assets and a high reputation as an aristocrat, combining the advantages of Mr. Qi Huan and Mr. Meng, I observed him in the afternoon, and although he is dull, he has a good impression of Beth."

"How can he do it? He looks like that, and he doesn't match Beth at all!" The hostess Nancy refused.

There was the sound of broken porcelain in the room. Finally, Mr. Otto couldn't bear it anymore. He swept the cups on the table to the ground and said angrily, "Then what do you want! Do you want to marry Beth to the royal family?! You don’t like this, you don’t like that, and you don’t look at whose daughter she is! What else do you want!”

The hostess Nancy was frightened by the sudden drinking, she didn't say a word for a long time, only sobbing and crying.

Hearing his wife crying, Mr. Otto realized that he was too angry. Instead, he patted his wife on the shoulder to comfort her, but his tone was unquestionable, "Beth is not young, let's get her married. Marrying Mr. Mochi, although it is far away from us, we can also visit her every year."

The hostess, Nancy, remained silent.

After Mr. Otto and his wife left in the room, the four people under the window looked at each other. There was a lot of information this night, and everyone could sense that the Otto family was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.
