I! Cleaner!

Chapter 171 Without the palace, I can only rely on my husband

Aren't you coming back today?

Little did she know that for the safety of himself and his younger siblings, Leon was accompanying the terrifying red-haired bad woman to fight to the death in the sea of ​​wine. When the street lights below the apartment turned on and no sign of Leon was seen, Anna couldn't help but sigh. tone.

But just as she stood up from the window and was about to put away the food she had left on the table, there was a sudden sound of familiar footsteps in the stairwell.

Is this... coming back?

Hearing the highly recognizable heavy footsteps, the sickly girl couldn't help but feel slightly happy. After wiping her wet palms on her apron, she quickly ran over and prepared to open the door.

However, as soon as she stood up, she discovered that although the footsteps were very similar to Lyon's, with a heavy feeling as if they were carrying something, the pace was obviously smaller.

It turns out he's not my brother...

Ana, who was a little disappointed, sighed and loosened her grip on the doorknob, but the footsteps that were quite similar to Leon's walked straight towards her, and then the door was gently knocked by someone. Ringed.

"Tuk, Tuk, Tuk"

Come to my house?

Hearing some sudden knocks on the door, Anna was slightly startled, then carefully asked through the door:

"Who are you looking for?"

After hearing the sound coming from inside the door, the person outside the door paused, and then replied warmly:

"I'm looking for Leon, Leon Lane."

Looking for your brother? And the voice...is it a woman?

Although the woman's voice was very nice and had a convincing sense of calmness, Anna didn't know why, but she instinctively became vigilant and almost subconsciously prevaricated:

"He's already asleep! And it's already very late now. Come back tomorrow!"

"..."

As if aware of her defensiveness, the woman outside the door pondered for a while, then leaned close to the door and whispered:

"Are you Anna? Leon told me about you.

Also, although there are men's shoes specially placed outside the door, the pair Leon wore today are not there, so he hasn't gone home yet, right? Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I really came here to find him. "

"..."

Face to face... Lying through the door was actually exposed on the spot. Anna's face couldn't help but blush slightly, and then she quickly turned the door handle and apologized with some embarrassment:

"I'm sorry...my brother told me a few days ago that I should be more careful recently. There might be bad guys targeting our family, so I just...well..."

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of her who looked a little tired but had an astonishingly good figure, Anna's words couldn't help but get stuck. While looking at the plump front of the other person with shock in her eyes, she instinctively measured the gap between herself and the other person.

Actually...it can be like this...this is unfair!

"It doesn't matter. It's normal for you to be more defensive if I suddenly come to your door so late at night."

Seeing that she finally managed to trick her into opening the door, the princess, who only had a silver wheel given by Leon, could not afford to stay in a hotel and could not return to the palace, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, in order to have a place to stay tonight, while recalling the information he had read, he tried his best to fool around and said with a friendly face:

"When we first met, my name is Veronica. As for my identity... I am your brother's fiancée."

? ? ?

What did you say?

After listening to the powerful self-introduction of the princess, the sickly girl was as stunned as a little duck struck by lightning.

This is impossible!

He clearly said that he would spend his whole life... In short, even if we are not related by blood, I am still his most important sister! He will definitely be the first to tell me about getting married! It must be fake! This woman must be lying...well...

Anna put her hands on her hips and widened her eyes. Just when she was about to use her unknown anger to scold the woman in front of her not to lie, she couldn't help but glance at her chest again.

It seems...not completely impossible? After all, she is really...

"Anna?"

After waiting for a long time, she didn't hear the other party's question. She couldn't continue the words she had prepared before coming. Princess Veronica had to use her brain to improvise and said proactively:

"I know that you may not be able to accept the news when you suddenly hear it, but I didn't lie. I am really your brother's fiancée."

"But...but he never told me, and he has always been busy, where does he have time..."

"It's really sudden."

She took the sickly girl's sweaty palm and held her arm affectionately like a real sister-in-law into the house. The princess said with an apologetic look:

"Just this afternoon, he proposed to me personally in the main hall of the Lane Manor in front of all the guests who came to attend the knighthood ceremony.

And I happened to be very friendly with him, so I agreed directly after thinking about it. Because it happened too suddenly, I didn’t have time to tell you... By the way, did Leon tell you where he was going today? "

"I said..."

I didn't find that the princess secretly left out questions such as "the date of the relationship" and "why she didn't introduce it to her family." She directly connected the authenticity of this sister-in-law with whether Leon went to Lane Manor today.

After recalling what Leon had said, I found that he seemed to have really said that he was going to Lane Manor to participate in some kind of knighthood ceremony. After seeing that the "intelligence" on both sides actually matched, due to the inertia of "one truth, all truth" thinking, Anna's heart The last trace of doubt was completely wiped out, and he said with complicated eyes:

"So you really are..."

"I'm really your sister-in-law."

The tip of her nose, which was stained with coal dust, trembled slightly. After smelling the tempting aroma of rice, the hungry princess finally couldn't help it.

After pulling Anna, whose eyes were a little straight, to sit down at the dining table, she naturally opened the bowls and plates covering the dishes, pushed one of the small plates in front of Anna, and asked with concern:

"I see that you are in a bit of a bad state. Did you eat too little at night and feel uncomfortable?"

"Ah..."

The mind was full of her brother getting married, and the bride was not... not... it was her brother getting married, and she didn't even tell herself. Anna, whose brain was a little overloaded, responded instinctively:

"It seems... I didn't eat too much..."

"Then eat a little more, I'll accompany you."

After naturally taking a bowl and plate and placing it in front of her, the princess forked a cauliflower and put it on Anna's plate, then cut a large piece of hot fried fish fillet for herself and stuffed it into her mouth with impeccable manners.

After chewing the fish fillet twice at the fastest speed in her life and swallowing it in one gulp, the princess who had successfully cheated on the food and drink was digging into the mashed potatoes with a spoon, while persuading with concern:

"Eat quickly, you look so thin. When Leon comes back, he will be very sad if he sees that you didn't take good care of yourself."

"Ah? OK..."

After eating two cauliflowers as a side dish and a few small pieces of carrots for soup without any taste, under the painstaking persuasion of the princess.

Looking at the three plates on the table that were swept away by the "sister-in-law", Anna finally realized that something seemed to be wrong, and looked at the beautiful woman opposite who was wiping her mouth with satisfaction with suspicious eyes.

This sister-in-law...why does it look like she is here to cheat on the food and drink?
