Chapter 185 Spread.

For dinner, Cecilia asked the chef at home to prepare a sumptuous meal, mostly what Lu Xiao liked.

Admiral Crane and Cecilia accompanied her to dinner.

At the dinner table, Cecilia said, “I should have let you meet some people in my family, but since you’ve spent a lot of energy today, forget it. When you come back tomorrow, I’ll introduce them to you at dinner.”

Lu Xiao understood what Cecilia meant. She wanted to introduce someone from the Duke’s Mansion to her. Lu Xiao nodded and said, “I’ll listen to my grandmother.”

“Okay, grandma will arrange this for you.”

The dinner was very pleasant. After the meal, Lu Xiao did not stay for long and returned to her room to rest.

Even with Cecilia’s help, Lu Xiao still felt tired that night. But fortunately, after this incident, she would not have to worry about dealing with Lu Gewei in the future.

She lay on the bed, opened the terminal and sent a message to Ares. Originally, she was a little hesitant whether to tell Ares about what happened tonight.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s such a big thing, even if Ares doesn’t know about it now, he will always have a chance to hear about it when he comes back. Instead of letting him find out from other people, it’s better to tell him in person.

It would also put his mind at ease that she really wouldn’t think about expanding her harem while he was away on the battlefield to kill enemies and defend his country.

But she was also worried that Ares would be worried, so she deliberately emphasized the appearance of Cecilia and Admiral Crane.

The message was very long. After Lu Xiao edited it, she checked again to see if there was anything missing before sending it.

Originally she thought that Ares might not reply immediately. After all, there were many things going on where he was. She would deal with it as soon as she saw it. She would not care too much.

However, she didn’t expect that Ares would send her a video invitation shortly after sending the message.

Lu Xiao answered the call immediately.

As soon as the picture came out, Lu Xiao saw a man in a shirt sitting on a chair. Although it had only been three days since they last saw each other, it seemed like a long time had passed.

After taking a closer look at Ares, she felt relieved to see that he was not injured and not thin. She smiled and waved to Ares: “Are you not busy today?”

When she was looking at Ares, the man also looked at her. Seeing that the little female looked normal, he felt relieved and said gently, “Just came back. Have you eaten, Xiaoxiao?”

“Well, I eat at my grandmother’s place. Look at the room that my grandmother decorated for me. Is it the same as our bedroom?”

When Ares heard Lu Xiao use the word “our home”, the smile in his eyes became even deeper. He liked Lu Xiao using such words, which made him have a warm feeling that no matter where he was, there was always a place waiting for him to return.

“Yeah, very much like you. I thought you were home just now.”

“I’ve moved in with my grandmother recently. You don’t have to worry. I have my grandmother and father to protect me. You, on the other hand, should be careful. I’ll be waiting for you to come home.”

“Okay.” Ares actually had a lot to say, but after actually seeing Lu Xiao, he couldn’t say it all.

“I miss you, Ares.” Lu Xiao was much more direct. She could have endured it at first, but after the video call she found that she couldn’t help it. She just missed Ares very much. Only after they separated did she realize that she had long been accustomed to having Ares’ company.

“I miss you, Xiaoxiao, too.” Ares looked at Lu Xiao with a gentler look in his eyes. “I will rush back as soon as I finish here. It won’t be long.”

“Okay, but don’t worry Ares. Your safety is the most important thing and I don’t want to see you get hurt.”

“I’ll take good care of myself, don’t worry.”

After chatting with Ares for a while, neither of them mentioned Lu Gewei’s matter, because it was in the past. Ares now trusted Lu Xiao very much, so he naturally didn’t take it to heart. He just felt distressed that Lu Xiao’s decision had caused her to suffer a lot of criticism from the females in the empire.

Therefore, they are even more reluctant to mention it many times and stimulate the female.

When the call ended, Lu Xiao looked at the time. They had actually only talked for 20 minutes, but even so, Lu Xiao felt very happy.

The events at Earl Lu Gewei’s mansion spread among the imperial elite that very evening.

Those females who had talked about Lu Xiao behind her back were now a little panicked.

Ask around to find out if Duke Cecilia really said those words at Count Lu Gewei’s mansion.

Could it be that Cecilia has heard what they said? Is she going to take revenge on them?
For a moment, all the females who had participated in this topic felt insecure!
Some people even hated Lu Gewei.

Why would they involve them in a family conflict? Or, why would they provoke Lu Xiao for no reason?

She lives the life she wants, and she doesn’t interfere with anything, and she drags them all down!
The females who used to love going out all day and gathering with friends to chat and gossip have become more and more reclusive recently, staying at home. They are worried that they might accidentally say something they shouldn’t say when they go out, and that it would reach Duke Cecilia’s ears and cause trouble.

Obviously, they are very clear about what kind of people they are.

After this incident, the entire circle of power and influence became much quieter.

As for why they were so afraid of Duke Cecilia, it was firstly because of the status of the Duke’s Mansion of Galliodro, and secondly because when Cecilia was young, she was also a very special female who acted decisively.

It’s just that I’ve gotten older these years and seem much calmer.

But people in the circle still remember her influence, so they dare not act recklessly.

Now that she has openly spoken out to protect Lu Xiao, even if they are not afraid of death, they do not want to bring trouble upon themselves.

Of course, Lu Xiao was unaware of these changes.

However, after the news spread, Lu Huan and Lu Yu also heard about it, and they sent messages to Lu Xiao to express that they were on her side.

Lu Xiao found the news very interesting.

The two little females, Lu Huan and Lu Yu, have not yet experienced society, so their way of expressing comfort is very direct.

Lu Yu said: “Sister, you and my brother-in-law are living such a good life now, I will only recognize this brother-in-law, you must hold on, I don’t want my brother-in-law to come back and be sad!”

From what I heard, I knew that he was worried about his own fighting skills.

Lu Huan said: “Sister, don’t take mother’s words to heart. She doesn’t understand the life you are living now. If she had seen it, she would definitely regret her original choice. I will always support you!”

Lu Huan’s speech was becoming more and more like that of a fangirl.

After reading it, Lu Xiao replied one by one, asking them not to worry about her affairs and to study hard.

After this kind of communication, the relationship between the three sisters became better.

What she didn’t expect was that this matter spread even more widely within Lu Huan and Lu Yu’s school.
