Chapter 108 Poor Man
"Just give her some hot soup. The bean soup at the Leaky Cauldron is pretty good."
"Thank you, Mr. Giggs."
"Don't be so polite to me!"
"Take care..."
Lu Yunkai smiled and escorted the wizard out of the room, closed the door, and sighed softly.
Astoria was lying on the bed in the room, while Daphne was staring at her with anger on her face.
The battle between the two sisters seemed to be imminent.
"It's okay, didn't Mr. Giggs say that she was just blocked by the protective spell and fainted, it's okay." Feeling the strange atmosphere in the room, Lu Yunkai tried to comfort the two.
"Why didn't you die directly?" Daphne stared at Astoria and started to scold her directly.
"I..." Astoria lowered her head aggrievedly.
"She's dying, what are you going to do? I saw you were so scared just now that you almost cried." Lu Yunkai interrupted with a smile, "I said to send her to the room first and then find a doctor, you almost used a spell on me..."
"Which side are you from?" Daphne glared at Lu Yunkai.
"Astoria, didn't I tell you you can't go? Your sister is right to scold you!"
"...Brother-in-law, why are you so cowardly!" Astoria was amused by Lu Yunkai's change of attitude.
Even Daphne, who was angry, couldn't help it, and a curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Seeing that the two sisters finally stopped looking like they wanted to fight directly, Lu Yunkai also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's go back and eat. We've been doing farm work all afternoon. We're hungry!"
"Brother-in-law, what on earth did you do? What farm work... Can't I ask?" Astoria bowed her head aggrievedly.
"Let's go home." Daphne retracted her gaze and stood up.
Astoria quickly followed and climbed up from the bed.
But just after getting off the bed, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Daphne was right next to her and reached out to support Astoria.
"Didn't you say you were fine? What happened again?" Daphne's voice was filled with panic again.
"How should I know!" Lu Yunkai was also startled.
"What are you looking at! Come and help me!!"
"Oh!"
Lu Yunkai hurried over and took Astoria from Daphne's hands.
"Why can't I feel my legs?" Astoria's voice was filled with tears.
"Ah???" Daphne was completely dumbfounded.
"... Let's go home first." Lu Yunkai glanced at Astoria's legs and said calmly.
"Yunkai! Do you want to ask that person to come and take a look?" Daphne obviously didn't want to go back like this.
"No need." Lu Yunkai shook his head.
"Lu Yunkai!!!"
"... Stand still." Lu Yunkai let go.
Astoria was stunned for a moment.
"......Ah!!!" Daphne went completely berserk and reached out to grab Astoria's ear.
This time, Lu Yunkai didn't plan to speak for Astoria.
What did she mean by not feeling her legs? When this stinky girl got up, she reached out and grabbed her legs twice. Only Daphne cared about her and believed her...
"Sister! It hurts! It hurts! I was wrong! I was wrong!!" Astoria jumped and shouted.
This time, Lu Yunkai was too lazy to smooth things over.
She just opened the door and walked out.
Daphne just grabbed Astoria's ear and followed her out.
Then the little girl walked out of the room while screaming.
Fortunately, considering the "Greengrass family's face", Daphne let go of her sister's ear before going down the stairs, otherwise the girl would probably be dragged directly to the fireplace...
In that case, Astoria can't even think about going to Hogwarts this year, and bid farewell to the magic world completely!
…
That night, Lu Yunkai did not go home, but stayed at Greengrass's house. It was not until very late that Mrs. Greengrass returned home drunk.
Seeing Lu Yunkai reading with Daphne in the living room, Helin did not show any surprise. She just smiled and greeted Lu Yunkai, and went back to her bedroom.
This made Astoria, who had been staying by the side with her eyelids forced to stay, pretending to watch Daphne and Lu Yunkai discuss magic, but actually waiting for her mother to come back so that she could report it, so depressed that she almost cried.
Lu Yunkai and Daphne, who seemed to have been discussing "house protection magic", smiled at each other.
They had seen through Astoria's little thoughts a long time ago, and they didn't care. However, seeing that she didn't even file a complaint, they felt a little sorry for the little girl.
Astoria, who finally gave up, returned to her room dejectedly, still muttering, "It's better to give me gold galleons directly than to drink such an expensive potion."
Only Lu Yunkai and Daphne were left in the living room.
"Go and rest." Lu Yunkai smiled at Daphne.
"...Aren't you going to sleep?"
"I'll give Blaise a message." Lu Yunkai shook the mirror in his hand. "After all, his father passed away, so I'd better say hello."
"You're not angry with me, are you?" Daphne asked cautiously.
"Ah? Why should I be angry with you?"
"I just got mad at you..."
"...I would have forgotten if you hadn't said it." Lu Yunkai remembered it.
When we were at the Leaky Cauldron just now, Daphne was not at all as gentle as she was at school. She was bossing Lu Yunkai around...
Of course Lu Yunkai understood that she was worried about Astoria, and he would definitely not be angry with her.
But looking at Daphne's hunched neck, soft voice, and fearful look, Lu Yunkai suddenly felt a little more mischievous.
He quickly put away the smile on his face and became serious.
"Well... I'm actually not like that at ordinary times. I'm just worried about Astoria..." Daphne panicked when she saw the change in Lu Yunkai's expression.
"But it's even scarier when you're like this! Do you always pretend to be in front of me?" Lu Yunkai said with a straight face.
"I'm not! I didn't!!" Daphne shook her head quickly.
"Actually, it doesn't matter. After all, you are also the eldest lady of the Greengrass family. It is normal to have a temper. Thinking about it this way, it must be hard for you to behave like this in front of me, right?"
"I really didn't!!"
Daphne grabbed Lu Yunkai and was so aggrieved that she almost cried.
"Please don't be like this, that's what I said..."
Seeing Daphne like this, Lu Yunkai instantly regretted it.
Do you think there is something wrong with me? Why are you teasing her? !
This girl is the same, why can’t I help but tease her...
"It's not okay that I was wrong! I...I will never talk to you like that in the future! I..."
"Oh! I believe you! You don't have to do this!"
Lu Yunkai grabbed Daphne's hand and took out the wand from her sleeve.
This silly girl looked like she was about to swear.
"...Really? Don't be angry with me!" Daphne still looked at Lu Yunkai cautiously.
"You want me to swear?" Lu Yunkai wordlessly pulled out his wand.
"No need!!" Daphne took Lu Yunkai's hand again.
The two of them just held each other's hands and stared at each other.
I watched it for a while.
The two laughed together.
"Don't tell your father and mother about my house." Lu Yunkai warned.
It can be regarded as changing the topic.
"Don't worry." Daphne nodded, "I won't cause you any trouble."
"Well... then you go and have a rest." Lu Yunkai took out the mirror from his storage bag.
"...No rush, can I see how you send a message to Blais?"
"There's nothing wrong with that..." Lu Yunkai glanced at the mirror first.
There is a message from Mrs. Zabini that may not be convenient for Daphne to read.
"Forget it." Daphne keenly noticed that Lu Yunkai's expression was awkward for a moment, and smiled, "I'm going to take a shower first!"
"Um."
Lu Yun smiled.
He breathed out gently.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Lu Yunkai wrote a sincere and comforting essay on the mirror with his wand and sent it to Blaise.
He was prepared that this condolence article would be seen by Mrs. Zabini, so he wrote it in a watertight manner, not expressing any emotion other than comfort.
This short composition took him nearly twenty minutes.
Just when Lu Yunkai was looking at his work and sighing that he probably had the talent to write novels, Blaise's reply came.
The speed was so fast that Lu Yunkai believed that that kid had definitely not finished reading what he had written!
But he couldn't be angry because...
"It's okay. He passed away peacefully. This is the best place for him to end up. After this matter is over in two days, I will go to the Leaky Cauldron to find you again."
Looking at the message from Blaise on the mirror, Lu Yunkai understood that he was really wasting his time.
There really didn't seem to be any affection between this boy and his unknown stepfather.
Then Lu Yunkai remembered that he seemed to have never met Blaise's father...
Then he tapped the mirror with his wand and called up the message from Madame Zabini.
"It really has nothing to do with me! Wuwuwu..."
If there weren't those few sobs, Lu Yunkai might still try to believe what she said. But……
To be honest, although Lu Yunkai had heard the rumors about Mrs. Zabini before, it was just that at that time he had no real understanding of how many times she had been married and how many husbands had died.
In addition, Blaise left a very good impression on him. Although he was somewhat aloof and unsociable, he was definitely not a murderous evil person.
But now, a man who was revived by his own Phoenix Tears and never had a chance to see him died like this. This woman still has time to act with him here...
It really made it impossible for Lu Yunkai to continue to have a positive opinion of Mrs. Zabini.
Even if they are taking advantage of each other, it may be dangerous sooner or later to cooperate with such a snake-like woman, right?
But except for Mrs. Zabini, Lu Yunkai seems to have found no way to cash out the money in the system!
otherwise……
Lu Yunkai looked at the mirror in his hand and fell into deep thought.
