Chapter 264 “such conditions”
By night fall, Du Wei had ordered Marde to decorate a small ballroom and the kitchen to prepare some exquisite dishes while he waited for the Marquise's arrival
When the door finally opened, the lady to co she was
Filled with elegance, Mrs Lister's body was like a blosso dress she wore Froraceful style of her steps, this unrivaled beauty gave of a pure yet irlish face To put it siel
Under his ogling eye, Mrs Lister sently performed a curtsy bow: ”Your Dukeshi+p, am I late?”
Du Wei gave a loud cough Standing up, he personally pulled the chair out for the lady and said: ”Of course not It's just that I lost racefulness
Mrs Lister softly looked Du Wei in the eye, her gaze filled with a strange yearning: ”I fear the Duke is disingenuous I've been in the Northwest for so long and this is the first time you invited me for dinner between the two of us”
Du Wei turned around and pretentiously went to grab a wine bottle just so he can avoid the Marquise's eye Waving his hand in the process, the waiters all left the room
Once the door was closed, Du Wei had already positioned hilass, he then suests? If the citizens back in the capital learn of my poor manners, I fear I will be the first person in the empire to be drowned by the peoples spit”
Du Wei then returned to his seat and sat down Raising his own glass for a toast, he wanted to show his sincerity: ”This first toast will be y to your ladyshi+p”
Not denying the gesture, Mrs Lister followed suit with the toast While Du Wei gulped it all down in one go, thethat of a noble lady
Du Wei then prolass: “This second cup is my sincerest wish for your ladyshi+p's eternal beauty, and to the everlasting bond between the Tulip House and Lister House”
The Marquise giggles this time and drank a bit more than the last
Du Wei then pours another cup to reach the third toast: ”This third cup is my thanks to you… Dadaneier said to me…”
Not waiting for Du Wei to finish, Mrs Lister cuts hi ain and again, it can't be that you want to get me drunk now are you?” She teases him with eyes that could melt any man
“Of course not!” As if he couldn't be awed by her char an eyelash, ”The third cup is ood idea Hmm, you don't need to drink this third cup, I will drink it myself”
After three consecutive drinks, Du Wei also felt a bit tipsy Gently sighing, he puts down his glass and looked towards the Marquise: ”The truth is, other than gratitude, I also admire your ladyshi+p a lot If not for your idea, I don't kno long of a headache I be forced to endure”
The madam purses her lip and softly said: ”What could possibly stuht have offered some bad advice and be ridiculed by everyone I just hope you won't think of e is limited Therefore, I can only ask Sir Dadaneier for help”
“Madaoodill forever stay in ht out this sentence
The Marquise suddenly looks up and peered into Du Wei's eye, ”It seeht is for that If not forin her eaze
Du Wei coughed uncoain…
“Hmm, your Dukeshi+p” Madame Lister tilts her head to think She had to ad: ”Your Dukeshi+p… If you want to say thanks then that's not needed If you are really grateful then I have a request”
Du Wei skipped a beat… … It can't be another wedding proposal again? Hmm, shouldn't be
“As long as I can satisfy it without go against my will” Du Wei first locked down his terms to leave no possibility for a loophole
The Marquise snorted a laugh because she found Du Wei absolutely char: knew you would say that!
“You can rest assure that my request isn't difficult for you In fact, it's very simple”
Du Wei got uncoretful over his own folly: ”It was going so well, why did I ever decide to invite this troubleso?”
Only by being alone with this wo off that body of hers
“I believe you know that h I … … Hh my life has been faced with misfortune with the premature death of husband, but I do have a Marquise title thanks to his enerational and cannot be inherited” The Madam clearly and slowly spoke: ”Because ed to a territory, but we do have a strong foundation in the north after years of taking root there”
Once the an her explanation, Du Wei becaet interested
”…… Your Dukeshi+p knows it too My fa trade in theback more and more in their naval expeditions If I had to speculate, Prince Son's plan is to coion Probably within the next few years, the maritime trade of the empire will become unprofitable Therefore, I've already decided to ion” Speaking up to here, she deliberately paused to sweep Du Wei a glance just so she can show off the hypnotizing side of her face while taking a sip of wine
Clearing his throat: “Lady's decisiveness is ade, but your ladyshi+p's ability to look into the future is beyond the ordinary”
