When the female supporting role has a beauty system
Chapter 1315 Lorraine 3
Chapter 1315 Lorraine 3
Hearing the murmurs outside, Tan You chuckled. What did this young mistress have to do with her?
She's not in a hurry to break ties with the Dubert family yet; the real drama will unfold on her wedding day, that's when it will be most exciting.
The thin maid Betty said wistfully, "I still hope Miss Jacqueline will become the young mistress."
A hint of sadness flashed across the plump maid Becky's eyes: "Impossible. Miss and Young Master have already been engaged. Miss's family has no one left. If Young Master breaks off the engagement, everyone will look down on him."
Betty: "But Miss Jacqueline is really nice, gentle and kind, and she never hits or scolds the maids."
Becky sighed, "It's all because we were assigned to serve the young lady. Alright, let's get back to work."
Hearing the footsteps outside the door fade away, Tan You got up and changed into one of the original owner's usual clothes. She simply couldn't stand the straitjacket that was so tiring, so she changed into a relatively understated court-style dress.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Tan You noticed the swirling pattern between her brows—the mark of the favored one of the Abyss Gods. With a slight thought, the mark gradually faded and then disappeared completely.
It's said that women in the Houston family who awaken their bloodline talents will go to the family's forbidden area to communicate with the gods. Unfortunately, the original owner was afraid of losing her engagement to Williams…
Given the original owner's intense and obsessive emotions, she could guess which deity she could communicate with—it was either Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, or Eros.
However, having encountered gods from Norse and Greek mythology, she's more daring with her imagination. Perhaps Venus or Cupid from Roman mythology?
Or perhaps Kama, the god of Hindu mythology?
In short, she didn't understand this system of gods, and it wasn't very relevant to her life.
Tan You shook her head and left the original owner's room. After flipping through her memories, Tan You headed towards the residence of the original owner's younger brother, Louis. The original owner's younger brother was only six years old now. He had come to the Dubot family with the original owner when he was three years old.
The Dubote family didn't mistreat him on the surface, hiring a tutor for Louis. When Tan You arrived, the tutor was teaching him a brief history of the continent.
Tan You didn't go in to disturb them, but sat down in the small living room and quietly waited for the class inside to end.
An hour later, the morning classes ended, and the tutor left through the back door. Only then did the valet inform Louis that his older sister had arrived and had been waiting for an hour.
Louis's eyes lit up. He put away his books, paper, and pens, then came over with a serious face to greet Tan You: "Sister, what brings you here? I thought you were preparing for your wedding in the house."
Tan You looked at the blond, blue-eyed boy in front of her, who was gazing at her with adoration. Even though his older sister had a bad reputation in the Dubote family—she was spoiled, domineering, vicious, and dependent on others.
But in Louis's eyes, the original owner of this body was his only family, so naturally, he was different from everyone else.
She rubbed Louis's forehead before saying seriously, "I don't plan to marry Williams."
Louis paused for a moment, then regained his composure: "So, are we going to leave the Dubote house? Where else can we go? We don't have a home anymore."
Although he was still young, three years of living under someone else's roof had made Louis far more mature than his peers.
Tan You leaned down slightly and placed her hands on Louis's shoulders. "Louis, look at my forehead."
Louis stared intently at Tan You's brow, where a swirling mark gradually appeared. Louis's eyes widened, and he instinctively covered his mouth with his hands. After enduring the shock, he finally spoke: "A chosen one? Eldest sister, you've awakened your talent?"
“Yes, the talent was just awakened yesterday,” Tan You said softly. Of course, she couldn’t tell Louis that the original owner had already awakened it long ago; wouldn’t that be making things more difficult for herself?
Louis leaned over the small table next to Tan You, quickly glanced around to make sure no one was nearby, then leaned closer and whispered, "So... which deity are you communicating with?" "Judging from the markings, it's not the Goddess of Life..."
“One of our ancestors was a chosen one of the goddess Sif, who is the goddess of the land and harvest. It is because of this ancestor that the Houston family is so wealthy.”
Tan You watched the child speak so eloquently and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In terms of understanding the Houston family, perhaps the original owner of this body was far less knowledgeable than Louis.
Louis glanced at the mark between Tan You's eyebrows again: "I've never seen this vortex-like mark before."
“This is the mark of the God of the Abyss,” Tan You said, no longer letting the child guess, and stated the truth clearly. At the same time, she concealed the mark between her eyebrows, after all, it was not the time to reveal her identity.
"The God of the Abyss?" Louis didn't dare shout it out loud, but could only stomp her feet excitedly: "That's the most powerful god! Eldest sister, you're amazing!"
Tan You deserved the praise; she's the one who's amazing, isn't she?
“Elder sister, now that you have awakened your talent, women of the Houston family cannot marry outside the family. We must continue the bloodline of the Houston family.”
The initial surprise passed, and Louis began to make his plans.
Tan You nodded: "I understand. I don't want to marry Williams either. He's been dragging his feet on marriage for years and has been flirting with Jacqueline. The Dubert family's attitude is also very ambiguous, and the servants are gossiping about it."
"The Dubot family is not a place to stay for long."
Louis smiled, but a new gloom quickly settled in his heart: "We can't live without the Dubot family. If we leave, what will others think of the Dubot family?"
"And you are now a chosen one of the gods..."
Tan You said softly, "So we need to make a plan."
"so……"
She explained her plan to Louis, who nodded repeatedly. After they went over the details again, Tan You left Louis's place.
After Tan You left, Louis hurriedly began packing his luggage.
When they first came to the Dubot family, they only brought a family heirloom spatial ring. Now, they can simply pack everything into the spatial ring, making it very convenient to leave.
As for what the Dubot family has given them over the years, Louis and Tan You have no intention of taking it with them.
Logically speaking, the Dubot family simply didn't want to marry the original owner, but on the surface, they treated the original owner and her siblings well. Even though Tan You disapproved of the Dubot family dragging their feet on the marriage, they didn't seem to mistreat the original owner materially.
But in reality, it's hard to say.
As for Williams not liking the original owner, it can only be said that love is something that cannot be forced.
Tan You went to see Louis and stayed for the whole morning. Naturally, the news reached the ears of the head of the Dubot family and his wife.
Madam Margie frowned, shaking the feather fan in her hand, her eyes full of displeasure: "The wedding is in two days, and instead of staying quietly in her room to prepare for the wedding, what else does she want to do?"
Thank you so much for your votes and monthly passes, everyone!
