Chapter 344: Thirty stupid-looking women

“Miss, what’s wrong?” The maidservant looked at Hewinia’s slightly unnatural expression and became worried again, “Your complexion doesn’t look very good.”

“Um… I guess I didn’t sleep well last night,” Hewinia said feigning calmness, “It’s probably because I haven’t slept in my own bed at home for a long time, I’m slightly unaccustomed,”

“Is that so? Would you like me to replace your bedding with something softer tonight?”

Hewinia almost said no out of reflex, since it was just an excuse she had found, but she quickly realized that the real Hewinia wouldn’t say that, so she nodded slightly, her voice growing a bit colder, “This is something you should have resolved last night, isn’t it?”

The maidservant’s face turned pale, then she apologized repeatedly.

Hewinia scoffed and quickened her pace, stepping in front of the maidservant so that she could no longer clearly see her expression.

After all, too much had happened in the past two days, and even the most basic masquerade was starting to fail Hewinia.

Being at home in the family was more dangerous than being at school. After all, the family members had watched Hewinia grow up, and any lapse of attention could easily expose a flaw.

Therefore, if it wasn’t for a very special situation, Hewinia really didn’t want to stay at home.

Not to mention, this was a special situation among special situations.

Haddock Trell.

That is, Daphne’s father.

His sudden appearance made Hewinia realize that last night’s events were not over; Bai Wei had only dealt with the trouble that had come knocking.

And Daphne’s backing, the Treell Family, was also a problem, because they too knew of Hewinia’s identity—at least Haddock, as the Family Head, definitely did.

So what was his purpose in coming to see her now?

Hewinia, walking ahead, furrowed her brows tightly.

Her biggest issue at the moment was not knowing what else had happened afterwards, not even how she had returned home.

Because Bai Wei hadn’t mentioned those things and had gone off to “sleep” on her own.

Normally, Hewinia would hope that Bai Wei could stay asleep within her body a bit longer, sleep until the world turned dark, so she didn’t have to be watched all the time and could have more private time to do her own things.

But now, she wished that Bai Wei wouldn’t sleep, or at least clarify everything first.

However, that was destined to be just wishful thinking.

From the second-floor rooms to the first floor, the maidservant behind Hewinia was still anxiously following, but Hewinia had already adjusted her mindset, showing no trace of abnormality on her face, temporarily putting aside those miscellaneous thoughts and once again became the young miss of the Hailuo Family.

Now, she was going to see the guests of the Hailuo Family.

…

Aside from the exceptional Taichu family, the nobles of Holy Sound were roughly divided into three tiers.

The first tier families, like the Lawrence Family, with hundreds of years of history, were few in Holy Sound. The properties they owned could at least be the equivalent of a city-state in other Church territories, possessing double-digit numbers of Seed Districts capable of cultivating notes.

The second tier included families like the Hailuo Family: unable to be called great families, but still with long-standing historical heritage. In other Church territories, they controlled assets equivalent to a small town level and also had one or two Seed Districts for cultivation.

The third tier was like the Treell Family, possessing a small patch of land and assets, much richer than ordinary people, but not permitted to own Seed Districts. Therefore, for new blood, they often needed to rely on families like the Hailuo Family, which is why Daphne said the Treell Family was a vassal of the Hailuo Family.

Before meeting Haddock, Hewinia constantly reviewed this information in her mind, as if revising just before entering an examination.

Because this common knowledge among nobles was “knowledge” that Hewinia had previously not come into contact with, everything she had crammed in this past year.

After all, getting caught could very likely cost her life.

Last night was the perfect example.

It didn’t take long for Hewinia to arrive at the parlor.

The maidservant helped her open the door.

Hewinia immediately saw a man and a woman sitting on both sides of a long table.

Upon hearing the sound of the door, both looked over.

The woman had a smile in her eyes, while the man’s eyes held a hint of respect.

Among them, the woman was naturally Hewinia’s mother, Mandy, while the man was Daphne’s father, Haddock.

After greeting Mandy, Hewinia also sat down at the table.

Throughout, she outwardly didn’t look at Haddock, but secretly she kept observing him with her peripheral vision.

Hewinia didn’t know if it was because of Bai Wei’s eyes, but even just with a sidelong glance, she could see very clearly, even detecting the scrutiny and worry hidden deep within Haddock’s eyes.

After Hewinia took her seat, Mandy, as the hostess, naturally was the first to speak.

“Did you sleep well last night, darling?”

Her tone was languid, just like her posture, completely lacking the dignity and stance of a matron of the Hailuo Family, as she sprawled listlessly in her chair.

Her attire was also very casual; although she wore an extravagantly made dress, she managed to make it appear tattered, and a substantial portion of her upper body skin was exposed without any concern in front of outsiders. Of course, Hewinia knew it was intentional. However, she was not intending to showcase her body, but rather the mark engraved upon her flesh, the Seventh Note of an incredibly pure silver.
