Otherworldly Gem Merchant

After handing over the gem tree planted in the back garden to Korda and Niya, Yan Xiu did not return to Madam Nalian's house, but continued to stay in this small house outside the city.

At the same time, he asked Dewey to invite Mrs. Nalian over.

Na Lian was basking in the man-made light source of goblins in the courtyard of her house. Forgot to mention, the city of goblins is not above the ground. Brandt's ground is hot and dry, which is very unpopular with goblins. I like to build cities underground.But the goblins manage the city very comfortably, just like living on the ground.

Drinking the freshly brewed black tea, Na Lian was also in a particularly good mood.

The Rand gem store is simply a cornucopia, no matter how many gold coins it can swallow.The gold coins earned every day are enough to make Na Lian smile in her sleep.What made Na Lian even more happy was that no matter how high the nobles were, they would no longer put on their disgusting airs in front of her, and their attitude towards her changed dramatically overnight.

Of course, Na Lian enjoyed the change in the attitude of these nobles, but she did not forget that the change in the attitude of these people was not because of her Na Lian, but because of the Rand Gem Store, and because of Hughes.

Speaking of Hughes, since he bought the house from her that day, he has never been back.The two tree men were also called to the house outside the city by Hughes.

Not knowing what Hughes was doing, Leonard's Patriarch Augustus sent Joe to contact her these two days and asked if he would have the honor to invite her to have a meal with Hughes.

Throwing off the hand towel that wiped her mouth, how could Nalian not know why Augustus invited her and Hughes to dinner.

"Ma'am, Dewey, the servant of Mr. Hughes, is here." The butler stood aside respectfully.

"Ask him to come in." Hearing the news, Na Lian was also a little confused about Hughes' intention to let Dewey come.But it was just right, she did have some things to ask Dewey about Hughes.

Dewey, who was dressed in black, followed the butler into Nalian's courtyard. The black in the gorgeous courtyard was particularly eye-catching, but it also looked very quiet.

Na Lian frowned looking at Dewey's deep purple and bottomless eyes. She always felt that Dewey was dissatisfied with her?This is why... "Is Hughes okay?"

"Master is very good." Dewey interrupted what Nalian wanted to continue asking, and talked about Hughes' order to him, "Master invites you to go once."

"Hughes invited me to go?" Na Lian subconsciously thought about why Hughes let her go now before she could dissatisfy Dewey interrupted her. "Now?"

"Yes." Dewey stood there waiting for Nalian's reply.

When he thought that Korda and Nia, who were recommended to Hughes by Nalian, were still staying in the house to protect Hughes, he was a little worried.But then I thought that Hughes didn't talk to him very much recently, and Dewey didn't know what to do.He knew that Hughes' attitude towards him had changed, but he didn't know how to ease the relationship between him and Hughes.It is a fact that he does not want to conclude a master-servant contract, he does not want to deceive Hughes, but Hughes will be unhappy if he does not cover up this fact...

If it wasn't for Nalian's idea of ​​letting Hughes and Cordania sign a master-servant contract...

Dewey was frustrated.

Na Lian didn't notice Dewey's depression at all, she just felt that Dewey's attitude towards her was a little unfriendly, which made her feel a little strange.

Na Lian didn't think for long, and immediately ordered the housekeeper to pack up and prepare to go to Hughes.

As the housekeeper of Mrs. Na Lian's house, the leader of the West District, the housekeeper's ability to act is first-class - the speed of cleaning is very fast, and Na Lian finished packing in less than 10 minutes after giving orders.The housekeeper helped Na Lian into the carriage, and then he and Dewey got into the carriage together.It is impossible for a loyal housekeeper to allow a strange man to stay in the carriage with his wife for so long.

Because there were no people living outside the city, the speed of the carriage was very fast, almost galloping towards Hughes' house.Fortunately, Mrs. Na Lian didn't suffer from motion sickness, but at such a fast speed, Madam Na Lian's complexion didn't get any better.The housekeeper looked at Mrs. Nalian worriedly, and Dewey was the only one in the carriage with a normal expression.

Just when Na Lian felt that she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to stop, the driver outside the carriage stopped the carriage, "Ma'am, we are here."

Madam Nalian let the butler help her out of the carriage with a pale face, and stood in front of Hughes' house.Dewey got out of the carriage one step earlier than her, and had already opened the door and entered.That's right, Dewey opened the door and went in, and then he closed the door smoothly.

"Ma'am..." The housekeeper stood at the door with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"It's okay." Na Lian felt that she was right. Dewey did not like her, but why?No matter how much Na Lian thought about it, she couldn't figure out where she had offended Dewey.Hearing the sound of the door opening, Na Lian no longer struggled with this issue.

Yan Xiu was sitting on a chair in the middle of the room drinking tea, he was taken aback when he saw Dewey open the door and came in, and then heard some hasty knock on the door, he couldn't help but glanced at Dewey, and then went to open the door. "... Madam Nalian?"

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Hughes, can you let Madam take a break first?" The butler implored Hughes to let Nalian go in to rest first. After getting Hughes' permission, the butler helped Nalian into the room. When passing by Dewey, the butler He glared at Dewey angrily.

This man is so rude!

Yan Xiu closed the door and sat back in his chair.Na Lian was sitting next to his chair, and the housekeeper had poured water for Na Lian spontaneously.Yan Xiu didn't say anything, Na Lian's face was indeed pale, "Are you okay?"

"It's nothing serious." After sitting for a while, Na Lian felt that she had improved a lot, and the feeling of nausea that she had before was gone.If this speed comes back every day, she can't bear it.

Sitting on a chair and drinking some water, Nalian asked Hughes why he asked her to come today.

Yan Xiu originally thought that Na Lian would take her to see the gemstone tree when she came, but Na Lian's pale face now made him hesitate.

Na Lian immediately saw the hesitation on Hughes' face, "What's wrong?"

"Your body."

"Oh, I'm fine now my friend, thank you for your concern." Na Lian smiled, she was indeed much better, she didn't get motion sickness in the first place, so naturally it wouldn't be too serious.

"Don't force it." Yan Xiu glanced at Na Lian and stood up. Today, he will definitely show Na Lian these gem trees.When passing by Dewey who was standing aside, Yan Xiu glanced at him lightly.

Na Lian didn't say, it doesn't mean he didn't know what Dewey might have done.

"Hughes, what do you want to show me?" Nalian couldn't help but feel a little strange watching Hughes walking straight to the door leading to the back garden of the house.

"You'll know it after reading it." Yan Xiu was going to wait for Na Lian to read it before explaining, and at the same time to see Na Lian's reaction.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Dewey following behind, and Yan Xiu didn't tell Dewey not to follow. If Na Lian knew it, then Dewey would know it sooner or later.There's no point in hiding it from him now.

Na Lian left her housekeeper where she was. She didn't know what Hughes was going to show her, but she thought it should be something very important, otherwise Hughes wouldn't let Dewey take her over in such a hurry.

Just..., "What are you going to show me, Hughes?"

When Yan Xiu heard Na Lian ask this question for the second time, he also didn't answer, but just motioned Na Lian to follow him.Yan Xiu walked to the door leading to the back garden, pushed it lightly, and opened the door——

Like another world, the ground is full of shining gems, the tall trees grow very well, and leaves fall from the bare branches from time to time, falling among the pile of gems and becoming one of them.The crystal-clear tree trunks reflect different gorgeous lights under the irradiation of light.It was as if she was shining, very ostentatious.

Na Lian covered her mouth the moment she saw these trees, she was afraid that she would break the scene in front of her by screaming.She has never seen such a splendid scene in her life, so many gems are piled up under her feet, and gems are constantly falling.If this place is known to people with malicious intentions, then Hughes is in danger.

Hughes has such wealth, no wonder, no wonder he dared to open a gem shop...

Na Lian felt that she had thought a lot in a flash, but when she saw the gem in front of her, she couldn't think of anything.She couldn't believe her eyes, how could there be such an astonishing scene, she had never been so frightened before.Yes, it is already frightening, the gems here are too scary.This will cause all living races to go crazy!

"Xiu, Hughes!" Na Lian no longer cared about etiquette, she grabbed Hughes' sleeve, pointed at these gems and stammered, unable to speak a complete sentence.

"Yes, this is my secret." Yan Xiu admitted quickly without any hesitation.

"My God..." Na Lian realized after hearing what Hughes said. She didn't even dare to move her legs. She didn't dare to check whether the gems were real or not. "It's just crazy."

"Korda/Nia, I have met Mrs. Nalian." Two tree figures came to say hello to Mrs. Nalian.Speaking of which, if it wasn't for Mrs. Nalian, they wouldn't have followed Hughes, and they wouldn't have seen so many gems.

Korda rushed over immediately after sensing Hughes leading someone into the back garden.He and Nia are slowly sorting and sorting the gemstones here. Although there are only a few types and there are still many incomplete ones, Korda and Nia both understand the value of these trees.The two treants who had originally decided to keep a good secret became more determined after seeing that these gem trees would grow and the gems would fall off by themselves, and they couldn't say it even if they were killed.

It's just that Korda was a little surprised when he saw Nalian.He thought that Hughes would bring Dewey in first instead of Nalian.It's just that he doesn't need to question the master's behavior, it's enough for him to obey Hughes' orders.

"Hello, Korda." Nalian saw Korda and Nia coming out of the gem trees, and instantly understood Hughes' intention to keep the two treants here.At the same time, he also understood that Hughes made him rush over just to see these gem trees.

This may be the biggest secret of Hughes.

Nalian took a deep breath, then turned to look at Hughes, "My God, this is crazy. To be honest, I have never seen so many gems. When I first saw it, I really wanted it." .”

Yan Xiu didn't speak, just looked at Mrs. Na Lian.

"It's just that we are partners, aren't we? I think your sincerity is enough. Now the one who lacks sincerity has become me instead. Hey, Hughes, do you consider marrying me?" Na Lian looked at Gem Tree's eyes liked it very much.Joke, who doesn't like seeing so many gem trees?

"No." Yan Xiu didn't know why Na Lian suddenly turned to the topic of marriage, but it was obviously impossible for him to marry Na Lian.Don't say whether he agrees or not, it's the same thing as Na Lian's housekeeper. "satisfied?"

"It's more than satisfied. This is the biggest secret I know. You can trust me so much, which makes me feel very honored and a little scared." Nalian only gave Hughes a look, and then continued to look at these gems, " You don't know how attractive these gems are, how attractive these trees are, enough to betray you."

"Are you going to betray?" Na Lian's reaction had already told Yan Xiu the answer, Na Lian would not betray him, otherwise he would not be able to stand here properly.

"Of course not, since you have such great wealth, why should I betray you?" The value of Hughes is much higher than what Nalian thought, at least she never thought that Hughes kept such a secret.If it is such a secret, no one can say that Na Lian understands everything.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Happy cooperation." Nalian looked at Hughes who was standing next to her with no expression. "Leonard's Patriarch, Augustus Leonard wants to invite you to dinner with me. What do you think?"

"Promise him." Yan Xiu also wanted to meet Leonard's patriarch, Augustus, butler Joe's vampire master.

"Okay, I'll go back and give him a reply." Na Lian took a last look at the gemstone tree here, with reluctance in her eyes, "It's too bad, I'm afraid I can't help myself and come here every day to take a look."

"welcome."

After seeing off Mrs. Na Lian and her housekeeper, Yan Xiu sat on a chair and looked at the unchanged scenery outside the window.Dewey stood not far behind Yan Xiu, the expression on his face flickered indescribably.

He didn't expect that Hughes was hiding such a big secret from him.As early as a few days ago, even before Korda and Nia came, he felt the strong breath of gemstones coming from the back of the house, but he never thought that Hughes would have a gemstone tree!

Yan Xiu sat with his back to Dewey, and he also thought about Dewey's affairs in the past two days.He once thought about driving Dewey away like this, but he gave up after thinking about it.He also couldn't say why he dropped the idea.But he had to confirm one thing with Dewey, "Can I trust you, Dewey."

Dewey didn't expect Yan Xiu to ask such a question, but he responded quickly, "I am your most loyal servant."

Yan Xiu didn't finish his sentence when he heard this, but just opened his mouth, "What kind of servant are you?"

"..."

"I just want to make sure, will you betray me?" Yan Xiu sat on the chair and turned around, his black eyes were fixed on Dewey's dark purple eyes.

"No." Dewey replied without any hesitation, of course he would not betray Hughes.

"If one day you betray me, then never appear in front of me again."
