Chapter 40 is released.

When Lu Xia suddenly heard Grace's answer, although she was reluctant to admit it, she was indeed shocked by the answer.

If Grace hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten that she had four husbands and servants.

If this is true, then it is normal for the older white-haired man to become cold towards her.

After all, not only did she not recognize her own husband, she even forgot his name. Now her identity as a scumbag was completely confirmed.

It was obviously her husband's maid, yet she was inexplicably brought to the auction house. I'm afraid no one would think that she sold it on purpose, right?
For a moment, Lu Xia thought of various possibilities, and no matter which one, she felt that she couldn't clear herself.

"Do we need to go back and pick him up now?" Grace's voice appeared again, and she seemed to be magnanimous enough to consider Lu Xia.

Lu Xia came back to his senses and thought about the feasibility of going back now. He probably would be ridiculed by the other party. Forget it, since his family has come, nothing should happen. Instead of going back now, it would be more direct to consider how to end the relationship between husband and servant.

Thinking of this, Lu Xia looked at the man beside him and said, "No need, let's go home. Oh, you know how..."

At this point, Lu Xia's voice suddenly stopped, and he suddenly remembered that if he asked Grace how to end the husband-servant relationship, would the other party think too much?

In order to avoid getting into trouble, Lu Xia decided it would be safer to go back and ask the old housekeeper.

Grace saw that she suddenly stopped the topic and couldn't help but ask, "What?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask, you weren't hurt just now, right?" When the auction house shook, Lu Xia saw rocks falling from above and hitting Grace.

Grace didn't expect Lu Xia to notice this. His eyes softened instantly. He leaned in front of Lu Xia and said, "It hurts a little. Xia Xia, can you hug me?"

I don't know when he changed Lu Xia to Xia Xia without my permission. The moment the gentle overlapping syllables came out of his mouth, Lu Xia's ears blushed.

Lu Xia reached out and cupped Grace's face: "Are you being coquettish?"

The man did not avoid Lu Xia's touch, but gently held her wrist with one hand, as if he didn't want her to escape. His black eyes looked at her with burning passion: "If Xia Xia doesn't mind, yes."

What if she doesn't hate it? Yes, what if she hates it?
Thinking about this, Lu Xia asked: "What if I don't like it?"

Grace suddenly lowered her head and leaned against Lu Xia's shoulder, her voice a little low, as if she was restraining herself: "Then Xia Xia can punish me by doing anything."

Lu Xia felt that this guy was getting better and better.

Why does she act like a spoiled brat if she doesn't like it?

"Then I'll punish you by having you cook me a bowl of noodles when you get home. I'm hungry." It was already late at night, and the little bit of food they had for dinner had long been digested.

Grace chuckled softly, "As you command, my lady mistress."

When they got home, the old housekeeper hadn't rested until he saw them back. He seemed relieved and came out to greet them, saying, "Everything went well, ma'am?"

"That went well. Take this inside and put it away." Lu Xia pointed to the two safes in the car and instructed, "By the way, I have something to ask you. Come with me to the study."

The old housekeeper followed as he was told, and Grace went to the kitchen.

Arriving in the study, Lu Xia gestured to the old butler to place the password box on the table, then asked, "Who is Smellian?"

Hearing this question suddenly, the old butler was slightly startled, as if he was recalling something. After a while, he said: "At that time, your five husbands had this name. They were the heroes of the Rafaeld family." It seems that Grace was not wrong.

Lu Xia's hope was completely extinguished. "I met him at the auction today. I don't remember him. But it doesn't matter. I also want to ask how to dissolve the husband-servant relationship. What procedures are required?"

Upon hearing this, the old butler subconsciously looked up at Lu Xia, as if to confirm whether Lu Xia was sincere in what he said.

Noticing his reaction, Lu Xia raised an eyebrow: "Why is this so difficult?"

"No, in fact, if Madam wants to dissolve her relationship with her husband-servant, she doesn't need to go through any formalities. She just needs to make it public and have no further connection with him. She's just a husband-servant, so there aren't that many rules and responsibilities. It's just that..." The old butler hesitated at this point, as if thinking of Lu Xia's attitude towards Grace, and he couldn't help but continue, "But if the husband-servant relationship is dissolved, the male will suffer a miserable fate. They will most likely not be accepted by their original family, and society will even ostracize them, making it difficult for them to develop further."

The old butler was very smart. He only told Lu Xia the consequences of having the husband-servant relationship terminated, but did not interfere with Lu Xia's decision.

What decision to make is still up to Lu Xia to make on his own.

Lu Xia understood. It was very simple to remove a male servant, but the male who was removed would have a miserable end and would not even be accepted by society.

She should have thought about how harsh this world is to males.

Thinking about the other party, she didn't do anything wrong. It was just because of her decision that Xiong Sheng's life, which was already difficult, became even more miserable. It was really unnecessary.

So the question is, since she can't dissolve the husband-servant relationship, how should she deal with this matter.

People can no longer ignore her like before, otherwise her identity as a scumbag will be confirmed.

"Tomorrow you go visit the Raffield family and see how he's doing. Bring some gifts with you. If he doesn't want to come back, he can stay home and recuperate. It's up to him anyway."

Lu Xia felt that this was all she could do for now.

The old butler knew upon hearing this that their Duke Lu Xia had softened his heart.

After spending some time together, the old housekeeper was not surprised at all, because Lu Xia had done too many surprising things during this period.

"I understand. I'll be there tomorrow." The old housekeeper's voice fell. There was a knock on the door, and then Grace pushed it open. "You can go downstairs to eat."

When Lu Xia saw him, she remembered the "punishment" she mentioned on the way back. She didn't expect that the other party didn't even change his clothes and prepared a midnight snack for her.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll be there right away." Lu Xia said this as he walked towards the door, obviously not wanting to let the other person down.

But when she reached the door, Grace suddenly asked, "Are you going to take him back?"

Although he didn't mention the specific name, Lu Xia already knew it. Grace should have heard her conversation with the old housekeeper just now.

She didn't expect Grace to ask her for confirmation.

"If he's willing to come back, I won't refuse. After all, I was the one who was disrespectful first in today's incident."

If she had known that the other person was one of her husband's servants, he would not have fallen to the point of being trafficked.
