Drift world

Not long after Qiao Yunzhou returned to the room, the whole villa slowly woke up.

The butler arranged the contents of the breakfast with the cook, and discussed with a maid about hiring a gardener to repair the small garden behind the villa.

"Don't tell me, the Earl of Granville and his wife have not been here for so long, but the garden is still full of vitality."

"Yes, these roses are about to bloom."

Qiao Yunzhou was sitting cross-legged on the bed adjusting her breath, and overheard what they were saying. She looked down and saw the slightly shaking white bracelet on her wrist, and couldn't help showing a smile.

Qiao Qing: Hmph, let me just say that I don't have any flowers that can't grow well!

After returning home that day, Qiao Yunzhou first wrote a letter to Carl Hockley, and seeing that it was still early, he practiced a newly bought oriental cultivation method "Qingxin Jue".Since buying a few exercises, she has used most of her sleep time to practice exercises every day. Although the progress is relatively slow, she feels that her spirit is getting better and better.

She let out a breath of foul air slowly, and at the same time pulled the bell hanging beside the bed.

Soon, a tall maid came in and helped her dress and wash.She was a little unaccustomed to this procedure at first, but thinking of the maid's ashamed face when she refused the maid's service for the first time, she had no choice but to do as the Romans did.

After washing up, Qiao Yunzhou came to the dining room, ready to have breakfast.

At this time, the butler was already waiting in the restaurant, and as soon as Qiao Yunzhou showed up, he held out an exquisite brocade box.

"Ma'am, this was sent by the Duke of Sutherland last night, saying that he missed your coming-of-age ceremony and can just make up for it."

Qiao Yunzhou saw through the contents of the box at a glance.It turned out to be the heart of the ocean necklace that was photographed yesterday!

She was slightly surprised, she did not expect the Duke of Sutherland to give this string of sapphire necklaces to herself.Although I know that he seems to intend to contact the Principality of Arda through himself, but this sincerity is really generous.

Coincidentally, it also saved her trouble!

Qiao Qing was already cheering in his mind, Qiao Yunzhou smiled and said, "Your Duke's friendliness is really flattering."

After thinking about it, she still didn't plan to give an expensive return gift, after all, it would look like a refusal if the gift was too expensive.But now in England, she still needs the help of the Duke of Sutherland to cover up many unnecessary troubles.

"Thank you to the Duke for me." She said, "I brought some tea and silk from the East, which is in the storage room. You just sent some to the Duke. Ask him to taste it."

During the conversation, her mental power had rummaged through the space to find the gift, and put it in a locked box in the storage room.

"Okay." The butler said immediately, and at the same time ordered a maid to prepare a gift.

After making such arrangements, Qiao Yunzhou handed the letter he had just written to the housekeeper, "Please send this letter to Mr. Carl Hockley as soon as possible."

"Okay ma'am." No surprises, no superfluous questions.The servants sent by the Duke of Sutherland are indeed well-trained.

Qiao Yunzhou didn't care if the Duke of Sutherland knew about Karl, after all, she was only fulfilling Ms. Anne Hockley's last wish, but thinking that Karl Hockley might take the opportunity to make friends with the Duke of Sutherland, she was still right Mr. Steward said,

"I will probably visit Mr. Carl Hockley recently. You don't need to hide these things from the Duke."

The butler hurriedly bowed and said, "Ma'am, the Duke has given us to you, and you are our master!"

Qiao Yunzhou smiled and only said, "Go and deliver the letter."

When the letter was delivered to the Hockley House, Carl had just sent a telegram to his father, reporting on the cooperation with the White Star Company.

Although the heart of the ocean was not photographed, Carl did not intend to disrupt his plan.

He was going to invite Miss Ruth Diatt Bukett to a reception today, and then propose to her.In Carl's view, the Hockley family can help the Buckett family solve their debts, and the Buckett family can help the Hockley family improve their status. The two families are a match made in heaven!

Then the wedding would take place in Philadelphia, and he'd surprise everyone with expensive jewelry.

Without the Heart of the Sea, there can be other precious gemstones.

He stared at the newspaper and wondered what kind of gems to use to show Hockley's worth. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that nothing could compare to the famous Heart of the Ocean...

Carl didn't know that the heart of the ocean he was thinking of had been buried under the garden by Qiao Qing to feed the roses.When he was thinking hard about several famous jewels in the world, the butler Joey brought him a letter.

"Sir, there is your letter!"

"Whose letter is it?" he asked. If it was an insignificant person who only coveted the Hockley family's money, Joey would not have made a special trip to deliver it like this.

"It's the Lady Joe I saw at the auction yesterday."

Carl regained his energy in an instant, "The lady who appeared with the Duke of Sutherland and knew Lord Slytherin?"

Joey nodded sharply, "It's her."

"Why did this lady write me a letter?" He took the letter with some doubts, opened it in twos and twos, and quickly read the letter.Immediately afterwards, Carl's expression suddenly went blank for a second.

"How is this possible?" A dreamy smile appeared on his face, "I'm really not dreaming!?"

Carl pinched Joey's arm uncontrollably,

Joey: ... "Aww!"

Carl: "How could my grandfather be...? He never said that!"

"Sir!" Seeing his abnormal appearance, Joey asked worriedly while enduring the pain.

Karl seemed to be awakened by his voice.He immediately blushed and said loudly, "Send a letter to Lady Joe, saying that I am waiting for her at any time today."

As soon as he woke up, he said back, "No, no, I'll write it myself."

He took out the best letter paper, and immediately wrote a reply with a few strokes.

Only then did Joey ask, "Then... Where is Miss Buckett?"

Carl pursed his lips and said nonchalantly, "Go to Bookett's house and tell me to reschedule tomorrow."

Meanwhile, in Buckett House, Ruth, who has struggled into her tights and feels like she's been dressed up like a piece of cake, is staring in the mirror.

"Smile!" her mother said behind her. "Don't forget what day it is today. Whether we can keep our family status, success or failure will depend on it again."

Ruth's eyes were numb, and even when Cal Hockley hinted at a proposal, she felt no joy in her heart.In doing so, the Bookett family can be dragged out of the quagmire of debt, which is the whole point of the proposal.

Ruth felt more and more suffocated as she looked at herself dressed up in the mirror.She couldn't help but glanced out the window, and suddenly thought that there seemed to be a Van Gogh exhibition today.

"Ma'am! Miss!" At this moment, the family servant suddenly appeared at the door,

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Bucket turned her head slightly and asked,

The servant hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Carl Hockley sent a message saying that he has something to do today and the reception has to be cancelled."

There was a dead silence in the room.

The smile on Mrs. Bucket's face froze, "What did you say?"

"I...I said...Mr. Hockley...cancelled...the reception."

"Crack!" The jewelry on the dressing table was angrily swept to the ground!

Ruth stared at the mirror, wanting to laugh, but couldn't.

When the Duke of Sutherland received the news from Yunzhou that the Hockley family in the United States was actually related to his aunt, Salazar had come to pick up Qiao Yunzhou himself, and the two set off to visit Karl Hockley up.

"I saw him twice, but I didn't find that he was under the so-called curse. You can check it for me." Yun Zhou said, after all, Snake Ancestor is a famous black wizard, so he should be good at cursing.

Salazar nodded with a smile, "Of course."

Yun Zhou also smiled at him.

The two soon sat in the living room of Hockley's house.

Carl still had a red glow on his face that hadn't faded, and the news in the letter was unbelievable!

His grandfather, the grandfather who always looked down on nobles and put on airs, but built the Hockley Steel Kingdom from scratch, was actually the illegitimate son of the Hockley noble family in England!

This is simply pie from heaven!

Carl always felt that all this was a bit unreal, but when LadyJoe and the Earl of Slytherin came to the door in person, his mind immediately calmed down.

The truth doesn't matter anymore!For the sake of the Hockley family, his late grandfather must be an illegitimate child if not an illegitimate child!

Thinking about the contacts left by the already extinct Hockley family, thinking about the Duke of Sutherland, Lady Joe, and the Earl of Slytherin sitting in front of him, these real interests are the opportunities he must seize.These contacts are much more reliable than marrying a noble girl and then working hard to rely on the upper class!

"Excuse me for my gaffe." Carl tried not to be so ecstatic, trying to impress Qiao Yunzhou and Salazar, "but the content of the letter is really shocking."

Qiao Yunzhou and Salazar looked at each other, and the latter shook his head slightly at her.Qiao Yunzhou looked at Karl again and said,

"I can understand. My godmother, the former Countess of Granville, had heard from you before she died. She left some things and asked me to hand them over to your father, Mr. Williamson Hockley."

Carl nodded immediately, "Of course, I have sent a telegram to my father. I believe he will set off to England to see you immediately after he gets the news."

Qiao Yunzhou blinked, "Mr. Hockley is coming to England?"

I thought she would go to the United States!

"Of course!" Carl said immediately, "In terms of seniority, you are of the same generation as my grandfather. And if you don't mind, my father should actually call you aunt."

…aunt…

Looking at Carl's sincere eyes, Qiao Yunzhou suddenly felt a little dizzy in this generation...

The author has something to say:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

So the plot is beyond recognition.

She didn't know Yunzhou at all, she had actually given the proposal of Titanic's male and female lead to Die Die.
