I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 38 The Countess

Leaving the library, taking the guards and entourage with him, Qing Cang Dawn first took the inner city transfer car, got off at the North Gate Station, then chartered a carriage, and went out of the city to the splendid manor of his friend Christina Fording.

Brilliant Manor is not far from Yulang City, even closer to the main city than Li Family's Beishan Manor.Of course, the two manors are not on the same side of the main city. If the two manors are connected on the map, they will just pass through the Shengyou Palace, the inner city center of Yulang City. One is in the northeast and the other is in the southwest.

Regardless of the area covered, the number of buildings, and supporting facilities, Brilliant Manor is much larger than Beishan Manor.

After entering through the gate, you can see many odd-shaped trees that are more than ten meters high, and there are many phoenix songbirds that are born with magic power on them. This scene alone has revealed the economic strength of the owner of the manor.

After the carriage was parked, Dawn was led by the servants of the Futin family to the huge palace-like building behind the small square with a fountain.

When passing the square, you have to pass a stone bridge first. Under the bridge, you can see huge and ferocious armored beasts swimming in the water. If you are timid, you may have weak feet when crossing the bridge.

After crossing the bridge, I walked for a long time before passing through the huge square with a fountain, and then walked across a stone bridge before entering the palace-like house.

In front of the door was a pair of armored spirit warriors who were nearly [-] meters tall and looked exactly the same. If you looked at them from a distance, you might even wonder if they were two statues.

"Dear lixiao baby, you came just in time. For dinner, I prepared your favorite 'wine-burned seven-frame fish', which is made of top-quality non-phase fish!"

In the resplendent and high hall, Countess Christina was leaning on the huge sofa in a golden long dress. The leg exposed under the skirt was covered with golden silk stockings with prismatic patterns, which looked graceful and luxurious. A trace of mysterious temptation.

Qian Cang Lixiao resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and complained, "Tina! Don't call her such a disgusting name like a baby. If you call me that again, I won't come."

"Okay! Don't call it Baby Lixiao, but Baby Lixiao? Little Lixiao? Hahahaha..." Christina couldn't help but tremble with laughter as she spoke.

"Okay, don't talk about what's there, you know what I'm looking for you for." Qian Cang Lixiao walked over, patted her butt impatiently, and pushed her aside.

Christina gave her a white look, her eyes fluttering, very charming.

"The sofa is so big, you just have to squeeze it!"

The countess said, and suddenly sighed: "It's better to be the little dawn baby when I was a child, small, obedient, and sweet-mouthed, who followed my butt every day and called Sister Tina, Sister Tina, I want to eat this, I Want to eat that, oh, it’s so cute! Now that I’ve grown up, I’m no longer called Sister Tina, and she’s no longer small and obedient, oh, except for one thing that’s so greedy..."

Li Xiao looked at her helplessly: "Sister Tina, are you alright? My dear Sister Tina!"

"Hey! This is my dear Lixiao! Now, let's take a look at what kind of man Baby Lixiao likes..."

The countess clapped her hands as she spoke, and an expressionless housekeeper stepped forward and handed over a stack of documents.

After taking it, Christina threw it directly to Lixiao next to her, then she leaned to the side, lay down, and raised her feet to Lixiao's lap.

Dawn looked through the information, and put her elbow on Christina's calf. I have to say that the silk stockings are really good to the touch. With the Countess's extravagant style, they must have been made by some well-known designer. Well, just this pair of stockings, I am afraid that at least a three-digit magic coupon is required.

Li Xiao first spent money to secretly find someone to check the noble status of Guan Jianshen at the auction. After getting the name, she came to the Countess to continue to check.

On the one hand, the former is easier to check, and on the other hand, she doesn't want to reveal her true purpose.

So when she asked Christina for help, it was for the purpose of "finding a reason for a potential marriage partner"-and she was indeed repeatedly asked by her father whether she wanted to go on a blind date during this period.

Baron Li, who photographed Guan Jianshen, also happens to be single.

In order to conceal the real purpose, besides Kaios Li, she gave Christina the names of two other single male nobles for the first time.

After Christina checked a round of information, she made a false choice and chose Kaios Li, and asked the countess to help her continue the investigation.

"The little baron you value is a well-known up-and-coming painter. At an auction held in the Grand Theater not long ago, his paintings were sold for more than 4000 magic coupons.

"Considering that he is only a baron, and this is the second painting he has circulated on the market, the price is quite considerable.

"His assets, the territories, factories, and farms that are publicly available, can almost have 50 to 80 magic coupons, which are higher than the average baron lord. And the real assets must be more than these public assets , he is a rich boy."

The countess had obviously read those materials before, and after a few casual compliments, her voice changed: "However... this kid seems to be a sick child. Before him, he rarely appeared in public social occasions. Last month He was also in a coma for two days, which made his family's side branch uncles and brothers excitedly run to Shengyou Palace, intending to initiate a special program to directly transfer all his soul contracts over to seize his title. Shengyou Palace They all sent someone to complete the status appraisal, and have already sent an application for special procedures to the Holy Capital. As a result, he woke up again, and he escaped a catastrophe. But with his physical condition, it may be very difficult to live past 25 years. of."

Speaking of this, Christina's eyes suddenly lit up, and she touched Lixiao's stomach with her feet in golden stockings, and said, "Could it be that you chose this little Baron Li because he is a sick child? There are no direct relatives, Those from the sidelines took advantage of his coma to start a special program, and now they must have fallen out... Hey! Our little Lixiao wants to be a black widow!"

Qian Cang Lixiao was dumbfounded when she heard this, what the hell is going on!
"Tina! Don't mess with me!" She stretched out her hand and pinched Christina's calf, and asked along the way: "I see that it said that at Baron Li's previous auction, in addition to buying a bunch of mid-to-low priced In addition to weapons and equipment, he also paid a high price of 13000 for a female prisoner from the Western Realm? Is this person... a womanizer?"

Christina said disapprovingly, "Men, noble men, how many are not lustful? It's just that good women are considered normal."

"I'm afraid of lust, but I want to die..."

"It's better to die!" Christina said with a smile: "Really, looking at his conditions, if you don't consider things like so-called love, he is really a suitable marriage partner. Tsk tsk, it's a pity that he is just Baron, if he was a duke or marquis, I'd like to seduce her..."

Qian Cang Lixiao ignored her "crazy words" and continued to browse through the materials.

However, she did not doubt these words of the countess.

There are many legends about Christina's succession, or legendary gossip. The most widely circulated one is that her line of succession was originally ranked third in the will of the old Earl of Fording.

When the old Earl Futin was dying, she used tricks to anger the first two heirs in line, and launched a duel under the condition of dual domains (forbidden magic + forbidden spirit) to them, and killed the first two heirs in line. Only succeeded at the age of 23 and inherited the title of earl, a huge amount of property and contracted servants.

As for the others who said that she seduced the presiding judge of the Holy Blessing Palace, used her beauty to make the other party destroy the soul imprint will, forged a special procedure application, and directly transferred the soul subordination contract to her before the old earl died completely. There are countless rumors.

In her previous life, Li Xiao was somewhat influenced by these rumors, and gradually became estranged from Christina.

But later, after going through many big events, she also knew that compared to many big nobles who usually seemed to be shrewd, far-sighted, and upright, this man had always had a bad reputation among the noble class, and there were many negative rumors. The countess, who is greedy, extravagant and sinister, needs to be more capable and responsible.

Of course, it is also impossible for her to trust Christina completely. When you have no interest in this woman, she is a reliable, playful, helpful, humorous and amiable big sister.

But once the interests that she cares about are involved between you, if you don't have the strength and mind to compete with her, you will definitely be wiped out by her, leaving no bones left.

Greedy, vicious and insidious, but never rumors.

……

Qian Cang Lixiao noticed that there were records of the Li family's relatively large purchases and consumption in the data recently, and it was mentioned that almost seven days ago, Pete, the housekeeper of the Li family, came forward to customize a set of medium-strength forbidden spirit domains from the magic circle customization experts in Yulang City circle.

Forbidden spirit domain?

Li Xiao immediately realized that there was a high probability that Guan Jianshen was still alive.

But how can I rescue her?
