Culture Conquers Foreign Worlds

　　 Diana did not go back to the school dormitory, and the carriage drove all the way out of the civilian area of ​​El Roy to a luxurious manor adjacent to the city. Even at night, the openness of the manor can be seen. The carriage is driving on the main road leading to the mansion. The street lamps on both sides illuminate the gardens on both sides. Diana is fascinated by the scenery outside. She usually only takes it every other month. Come back here.

The carriage parked in front of an artificial fountain. The stairs behind the fountain stood a luxurious and huge building. Judging from the architectural style, it should have been completed only recently, combining popular classical beauty and practical style. She climbed the stairs and was about to step into the luxurious mansion. As soon as she approached the gate, the servant opened the doorknob for her, and then several maids hurried over.

"Oh my God, Miss, your coming back is too sudden, you can also be prepared to inform us beforehand, oh~ I don’t want you to see the mess." An elderly maid came and supported Diana when she saw Diana. His forehead said helplessly.

　　 Diana waved her maid back and shook her head with a smile: "This is my home. I can't always take it seriously every time I come back. Has anything happened at home recently?"

"Nothing that impressed me has happened. If there is, I must have forgotten it. I don’t know if I’m getting older. I forgot to order Tyler to clean the west corridor this morning. This house is too good for me. Big." The old maid sighed.

　　 "But only Ms. May knows Cromwell's house best." Diana chuckled and nodded: "I'll go back to the room first, so please help me prepare hot water."

　　 "Do you want to prepare dinner?"

　　 "No need, I have had a great dinner just now."

Diana walked up the stairs and saw two men in suits and leather shoes happen to come down. A middle-aged man with a moustache. His face was handsome and elegant, but his unsmiling appearance was difficult to make people feel close. His age was not much older than Harvey, his appearance was seven to eight points similar to a middle-aged person, and his appearance gave people the feeling of a well-educated nobleman.

　　 "Diana, it's rare to come back once. If you notify us in advance, you can have dinner together." The middle-aged man looked slightly surprised at Diana who was about to go upstairs.

　　 Diana stopped, lowered her eyes slightly and apologized: "I'm very sorry, some accident happened. This time I came back a bit suddenly for me personally. Father, do you seem to be going out?"

　　 "Yes, join the banquet of Viscount Felix with William."

　　 "Then please be safe."

　　 When they got down the stairs, Diana raised her head and continued upstairs.

The young man who never greeted Diana frowned and looked at his father and asked, "Father, why didn't you ruin her wedding to the Adrian family? If you marry the Elroy family, Cromwell The Chamber of Commerce will become one of the largest chambers of commerce in Elroy, and the Cromwell family can also be glorified by the Earl, so that our position in the social world can jump a thousand miles, no longer need to look at the faces of those nobles. ."

　　The middle-aged man glanced at him and said indifferently: "William, I heard that you and Elroy's second son were very close recently. Did he say anything to you?"

William shook his head: "No, but I can feel that he really likes Diana, anyway, it would be nice if someone likes her look, not to mention that it is a good man such as Kathy, with outstanding personal ability, or Elroy. The second son of the family, I can’t think of a reason for Diana’s rejection. You must know that among the people I know, especially women, no matter how beautiful and rich they are, they all hope to be able to climb Kathy."

They said that they got into a luxury carriage. The middle-aged man squinted his eyes for a long time before saying to his son: "This is Diana's business. Her personality is exactly the same as your mother Tracy. How could it be so easy? ."

William sighed helplessly: "Father, let me say okay. Kathy is not a gentleman. He can do whatever he wants to get what he likes. I heard that he has already attacked Harvey Adrian. I don’t know the specific method. It is to protect this former family collaborator, can't we do something yet."

The middle-aged man looked at his son with a smile but a smile: "I know about this. The heir to the Adrian family owed a debt. If he can’t pay it back, the Adrian family’s reputation will be deprived of it. , So that we can justifiably distinguish the relationship with the Adrian family. The second son of the Elroy family can think of this very well, so that we don’t need to take the slightest responsibility to turn off the marriage contract."

　　 "But, William, I have told you more than once that others are not as stupid as you think. If Diana wasn't able to inherit the family business as a woman, the position of heir would not fall to you."

　　 William looked confused: "I don't understand what you mean."

"The second son of the Elroy family did a very beautiful job. The average person must have contributed to this incident. He even considered that I might not have noticed this incident and let you become a medium for conveying information. From this point, I want you. Understand that the same is true in the social world. The relationship between people is only a tool. There are no absolute friends, only absolute interests. Also, do you know why fans are popular among aristocratic women?"

　　 William answered without hesitation: "It looks good."

Middle-aged men spoke of social etiquette in plain terms: "Indeed, a lady who does not hold a fan is like a man who does not hold a sword. The fan is just a tool that can implicitly express the wishes of the lady. When a lady closes the fan to you Explain that she is not interested in you. When she covers her chin, then you only need to observe her eyes."

"I still don’t understand~www.novelmt.com~My son, maybe I should reconsider whether to entrust the family business to you. Straightforwardness is not necessarily better than implicitness. Things that are too easy to get will not be cherished. Besides, we also need to consider Diana's own choice. In addition to benefits, we can also choose family affection."

　　 "Father, you didn't say that when you married Diana and the Adrian family."

　　"······"

　　······

　　 Diana went back to her room. The layout of the room was as simple as a school dormitory. The biggest difference was that there was a large wooden bookshelf on the wall near the bed with a wide range of books. She took out one of the books and opened it, found an old key, and then found a wooden box from the bedside table.

　　 opened the wooden box with an old-style key, and you could see that there were some letters and some luxurious jewels inside. The jewels were the relics of her mother Tracy during her lifetime, and they were specially reserved for Diana as an emergency.

　　 Today's society is praising women. However, the protection of women's rights by law is not even as good as hundreds of years ago. Once a woman is married, she loses her property rights and becomes a vassal of her husband. Therefore, widows in this era are quite popular, especially those with savings, who can easily get all their wealth by marrying them.

　　 Diana took out a necklace inlaid with blue jewels from the box and stared at the sapphire necklace. The corner of her eyes dropped naturally, her proud and calm appearance melted into gentleness. Although these jewels are full of memories, she will not miss them too much. Just as her mother left these jewels for her purpose, she is a pragmatist, and simple photos are enough to remember her loved ones.

　　 Of course, she will not use these expensive jewelry when it is not necessary.
