Chapter 690: House Arrest Or Protection?

Translator: Yunyi

Huo Si nodded and gave a standard western gentlemans salute. Please forgive me, Lady Celia.

His att.i.tude was sincere, but he was tall and strong, and his clothes were sloppy. No matter how standard his posture was, it gave people a funny feeling.

Lady Celia was about to faint. She glared at him, thinking how could there be such a reckless person in the world.

Count Lancaster narrowed his eyes and scanned his surroundings calmly.

The people he had brought with him had disappeared. In their place were all unfamiliar faces.

You want to detain us? Huo, I have to say, even if we are not in Country Y, your actions will still bring you quite a lot of trouble.

Perhaps

Huo Si shrugged. But, but how do you know that our actions are not disguised protection?

Count Lancaster was speechless.

After all, during the a.s.sa.s.sination last night, more than half of the twenty bodyguards who were responsible for protecting Miss Alice were killed or injured. Before we are sure whether you will continue to bring trouble to us, please stay quietly in the mansion with your wife and daughter. Do not leave this place at will.

Of course, if you want to leave, you can do so now.

Huo Si made a gesture of invitation.

Count Lancasters expression darkened. He said coldly, I want to see your Master.

Im sorry, the Master is very busy. When he is done, he will come and see you.

No matter how powerful the Lancaster family was in Country Y, this was not their territory, and they did not have the ability to bring all the forces here.

Above all, foreigners probably did not know that there was a saying: a strong dragon can not suppress a local snake.

Elder Hou, this way please.

The old man wore a short jacket and followed Uncle Zhang inside.

The environment here was quiet, and the building was majestic, like a fairyland.

Elder Hou had not been here many times. He looked around and said, It has been a few years since I last came here, right? There are no changes here.

Uncle Zhang laughed happily and said, Actually, there are changes, but if you dont look closely, you wont be able to see them.

He ordered the servants to pour tea while he brought Old Hou to the guest room.

Perhaps! Haha, the Manor is so big, only Yunque can stay here.

In such a large manor, there was only one master. There wasnt even a single person who spoke all day long.

Not to mention the lively young man, even an old man like him would find it boring after staying here for a long time.

Uncle Zhang nodded in agreement and said, Its just that things are different now!

They were about to have a Madam of the house, so how could they still feel lonely?

Old Hou thought he was lamenting about the present, but he did not know what Uncle Zhang meant.

The two of them talked as they walked. Old Hou had just sat down not long ago when the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

Old Hou looked up and saw a man who had always been refined carrying a girl on his back. He walked into the reception room with a smile on his face.

Huo Yunque nodded slightly. Elder Hou.

Hey, Yunque, what are you

When Huo Yunque put the young lady down, Elder Hou saw her face clearly and was stunned. Isnt this from the birthday banquet

Its me, Elder Hou. How do you do?

Song Yaoyao smiled sweetly and greeted Elder Hou politely.

Elder Hou did not show it on his face, but a storm was already raging in his heart. At that time, he was still wondering which familys daughter this extraordinary lady was from to be able to make Elder Shen like her so much.

At that time, he even asked curiously, but Elder Shen just smiled and did not say anything, pretending to be mysterious and unwilling to say anything.
