Chapter 197 Punishment.

After talking with Grace, Lu Xia asked Grace to bring Smellian and Cecil in.

Return to the room again.

Cecil looked at Lu Xia, who had calmed down, and felt relieved, knowing that they might have passed this level.

He immediately went up to her and called carefully, "Sister, are you okay?"

Lu Xia looked up at him and said, "I'm fine, don't worry. I called you in because I have something to tell you."

After the three of them sat down, Lu Xia said, "Since you have unanimously decided to do this, I will also join in. Although Her Majesty the Queen's reputation among the people has collapsed, what you are doing now does not have a good purpose. Gene fusion preparations can help you accomplish this. Choose an auspicious day to announce this news to the public. After that, I will provide funding for gene fusion preparations to the Alliance Army."

The three people present were not stupid. They knew very well that Lu Xia was doing this to win the hearts and minds of the people for them, so that the Allied Forces could enter the empire with legitimate rights and establish a new fair and just system.

Grace looked at Lu Xia with soft eyes. He had thought of many possibilities, but he never expected that Lu Xia would stand on his side so naturally without even a moment's hesitation.

She always seemed to do things that softened his heart.

After finishing his words, Lu Xia looked at the three quiet people and asked, "Do you have anything else to say? If not, can we go home now?"

Cecil said quickly, "Of course, we can go home now."

He really wanted to return to a familiar place as soon as possible and let this matter pass quickly."

As if she could see what he was thinking, Lu Xia glanced at him calmly, then said, "Although I understand what you three did, that doesn't mean I accept your hiding this from me, so I'm going to punish you."

When saying this, Lu Xia raised his chin slightly to make himself look more powerful.

"Sure, as long as Xia Xia is happy, you can punish us in any way you want." Grace was the first to speak out.

Cecil glanced at the two nervously, then said apprehensively, "I can accept that, too."

"Well, Cecil, you'll be responsible for the housework for the next month. Smellian, the gardens at the mansion are yours. As for Grace, as the mastermind, you're not allowed to go home until this is completed. This is your first punishment. As for the second punishment, I'll tell you after this is over."

After saying that, Lu Xia stood up and walked out of the room without staying for long.

In fact, these punishments were not punishments at all for the three of them.

Cecil glanced at Grace, then quickly stood up and followed her out. Smellian patted Grace on the shoulder and said, "This is the best outcome. Please be patient."

"After saying that, he turned and left.

Grace knew very well that Cecil was right and this was indeed the best outcome for him.

Lu Xia had no intention of separating from him. Instead, she stood on his side and just asked him to go home after finishing his business. It was not a punishment at all. He raised the corners of his lips and smiled. He was really happy that Xia Xia still wanted him.

Cecil caught up with Lu Xia and opened the car door for her personally. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will do the housework well this month and will definitely not let the servants interfere."

Lu Xia didn't even look at him: "Then you must do what you say."

Cecil immediately said flatteringly: "I promise to complete the task."

Lu Xia glanced at Smellian who was walking over, but didn't see Grace following him. He said unhappily, "Let's go."

Although she missed Grace very much, she also knew that she couldn't be soft-hearted at this time. She couldn't let something like this happen again.

After Smellian followed Lu Xia into the car, he looked at Cecil, who was clinging to Lu Xia. "Do we need to inform Simon about this?"

Thinking of Simon, Lu Xia was silent for a moment and said, "Notify him."

Smellian nodded: "Okay, I'll do it."

They all knew very well that the so-called notification was not just a simple notification.

That night, when Simon returned home, he felt that the atmosphere at home was a little different.

The servants in the house seemed to be gone, and only Cecil was busy. Simon raised his eyebrows, looked at Cecil wearing an apron, and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"

Cecil glanced at him and said, "Can't you see? I'm doing housework."

Simon naturally knew that he was doing housework at home, but why did he do this? "Is this your new way of currying favor with His Excellency the Duke?"

That was all he could think of.

Cecil chuckled: "This is indeed what my sister asked for."

After saying this, he raised his eyebrows at Simon with a smug look on his face: "Don't be too envious."

Simon was speechless, but before he could ask any more questions, Smellian came over and asked, "Want to chat?"

Compared to Cecil, Smellian is steady.

Simon nodded: "Okay, where to?"

Smellian pointed outside.

Simon turned around and followed him out of the room. When they reached the garden, he saw Smelian put on his water boots and picked up the hose to water the flowers.

Simon stood by and watched him busy, with confusion in his eyes: "What do you want to tell me? You don't just want me to watch you water the flowers, do you?"

"Time is limited, so I can only talk to you while I'm doing it. I hope you don't mind. I want to know how much you know about what Grace did."

"Basically, everything that needs to be investigated has been investigated. If you have anything to say, just speak up."

"So what do you think about this matter?"

Simon looked up: "I wasn't thinking, this is what you guys are doing."

"So what if I say Duke Lu Xia has also joined in?"

Simon's expression froze. He knew very well what this sentence meant and what Smellian's purpose was in asking him out to talk. He also knew very well that every question he answered at this moment represented the direction of the future.

He was somewhat surprised that Duke Lu Xia would choose to join Grace's allied forces, but at the same time he was not that surprised, because Duke Lu Xia had never concealed his feelings for Grace.

If you think about it carefully, this seems to be normal.

"Can I talk to Grace for a minute?"

Simon did not respond to Smellian immediately, but made such a request.

Smellian glanced at him, seemingly unsurprised, and nodded, "Sure. I'll contact you when I have time."

"anytime."

Simon said, reaching out and picking up another water pipe next to him: "I'll help you."

As a result, Smellian reached out and took away his water pipe: "This is Xia Xia's punishment for me, don't interfere."

Simon seemed to understand something and raised his eyebrows: "Cecil too?"

Smellian nodded without hesitation: "Yes, he needs to take over the housework for a month, and I need to take over the garden for a month."

Simon couldn't help but laugh, "What about Grace?"

Smellian had no intention of hiding anything: "He is not allowed to go home until the matter is settled. This is his first punishment. As for the second one, Xia Xia hasn't mentioned it yet."

Simon nodded, not feeling any sympathy for them, but simply thinking that this was what they should do.

But in fact, they all knew in their hearts that this was not a punishment at all.
