After returning to China, Mona was very busy. After all, since she left, the manor had been sealed for many years. Although the housekeeper cleaned it from time to time, there was still a big difference between the house with people and the house without people.

Although there was help from the housekeeper in this process, the workload was still not small, and some new servants needed to be recruited.

All the servants of the manor died in the attack of the elves, and it was obviously impossible for the butler to take on several roles, so the only way to quickly fill up the vacancy was by recruiting new people.

First of all, there is the chef. Mona has been raised by Dadalia all these years. She is not satisfied with the chef who has been selected for a long time. Even the housekeeper is confused and cannot understand why Mona is so picky.

So picking a time, Mona made a salad.

This is no ordinary salad, but Mona's special dish - the supreme life.

Not only the attribute bonus, but also Mona's deep understanding of frugality, the life experience of making delicious food even with cheap ingredients.

After eating this dish, the butler also joined the team that strictly demanded chefs. For a while, the news that Howth Manor strictly recruited chefs spread wildly throughout the empire.

Some people even ridiculed Mona as an upstart. Even if she inherited the Huos family's property, she was just a commoner with sneaky eyes, and her mind was full of food.

Mona ignored all this and just secretly put these people into the blacklist.

With the help of the housekeeper, they eventually recruited two chefs, a man and a woman.

The male chef Lei is good at cooking all kinds of high-end dishes. He was originally the exclusive chef of a noble family, but unfortunately he was arrogant and offended the villain, so he was kicked out by design.

The female chef Mei is a housewife. Her cooking talent is outstanding. Even without systematic study, she can cook very warm dishes, which is admirable. It is only because of the difficult family situation that she tried this job.

At first Lei looked down on Mei, after all, the world is somewhat sexist, but after tasting Mei's cooking, he was the first to recognize Mei.

Seeing this, Mona also breathed a sigh of relief. She does not reject arrogant people. A capable person like Dadalia can naturally be arrogant as he wants. What she rejects is the arrogance that pretends not to see reality for the sake of so-called dignity.

Fortunately, Ray is not such a person.

The most important chef has been selected, and other things are much easier to handle. Mona doesn't need personal care, so she only finds some maids who are in charge of chores.

The other is the garden outside the manor. According to the butler, Mrs. Olivia and Mr. Hawes took care of this garden together during their lifetime. They attach great importance to this garden, and the butler has also been taking care of it over the years.

But since the manor was about to be reopened, the housekeeper had to be responsible for more work. Obviously, he could no longer be distracted from it, so he had to find another gardener.

Mona glanced at the garden that Mrs. Olivia often loved to hang out in the past, and told the housekeeper a few more words, saying that she must find a gardener with excellent skills, and the housekeeper naturally had the same idea, and the matter would be done soon up.

After dealing with the personnel problem, the manor gradually became lively, but Mona still had a lot to do, and a large number of documents required her to come and sign.

During this process, it was inevitable that Mona chatted with the housekeeper about a lot of things, but at this time, she had to mention the Duke of Valencia.

When Mona left the Lianksandu Empire, she only heard that the Duke of Valenser was injured, but she didn't know what happened. But this time, the steward finally told her the truth.

"Miss, it's actually not appropriate for me to tell you this matter."

The butler was sorting out the documents while communicating with Mona. The two moved quickly, and the documents were delivered smoothly. They were obviously used to such actions. It didn't take long for Mona to read some relevant documents and sign them. name.

"It's okay, I always want to know."

Mona's mind was divided into two purposes, she spoke with her mouth but didn't stop with her hands.

"...The injury that the Duke suffered back then, I heard that it was actually on the bed of a certain mistress."

Mona paused, then raised her head speechlessly: "Butler... isn't what you're talking about something in a tabloid?"

The butler shook his head: "Which of the things I told Miss is not certain?"

He continued: "Since then, the Duke has been unable to have children, but the Wallenster family needs an heir after all, so he plans to choose an heir from among his illegitimate children."

After the words fell, Mona turned her attention to the invitation letter in her hand.

This is an invitation letter from the Duke of Valens, inviting her to visit the Valens Manor.

Mona chuckled: "Why, he didn't find a suitable heir, so he plans to let me, Huos, inherit?"

The housekeeper seemed to have known about this for a long time, and he simply explained: "There is a saying about the Valenster family. It is said that only those who inherit the silver-gray eyes of the Valenster family can inherit their strong affinity for water elements."

This is the first time Mona has heard of it, and she thought that her affinity for the water element came from the Eye of God.

"None of the illegitimate children of the Duke of Valenser's generation have silver-gray eyes."

"So you fell in love with my eyes?" Mona tapped the invitation letter in her hand, and a splash of water smashed the paper, "I won't go."

Ignoring the housekeeper's hesitation, Mona simply ordered: "The manor is almost cleaned up. We will hold a banquet in the manor in a week. You go to prepare invitation letters and invite people from the major families of the empire to come. Those on the blacklist don't want."

"Let the maids arrange the grounds well. The cleanliness of the mansion depends on them. You can supervise the work of the gardener. The surrounding plants are a bit too lush."

"The dishes of the day are determined by Lei. He is familiar with the process and can better meet the preferences of those nobles."

"In short, I want the banquet to be held in an orderly manner, butler, can you do it?"

"At that time, I will announce my identity as the heir of the Howth family, and at the same time, I will also propose cooperation on alchemy."

After arranging the personnel, Mona paused, as if thinking of something, and added: "I don't care about the others, but I hope the crown prince of the empire can come."

"If he doesn't come, if necessary, I can tell him my identity."

After listening to Mona's series of instructions, the housekeeper bowed deeply: "Observe."

At this moment, Mona has already torn off the labels of the former master's daughter and reincarnated person, and has become the real master of the steward, gaining his respect.

But Mona would not trust the housekeeper.

The butler is a person taught by the word of God. If he doesn't care about Mrs. Olivia's life, he may betray her in the future.

The whole banquet was held very smoothly. After the name of the alchemist was released, many nobles came, including the old friends of the Hoss family. After the blacklist was removed, there would naturally be no There is someone who is yin and yang, Mona.

However, after listening to Dadalia's suggestion, Mona didn't plan to take the initiative to manage the relationship, so she didn't deliberately strike up a conversation.

What's interesting is that Mona didn't deliberately ask the butler to give the Duke of Valenser an invitation letter, and the butler is not someone who would do such a thing, but the Duke of Valenser still came.

Not only did she come, but she was always looking at her, as if she wanted to have a private chat with her, but just when the Duke of Warrenster was about to come, Mona spoke.

"Everyone, I mainly want to announce my identity at this banquet."

She lets go of her voice and draws attention.

I have to admit that Mona just doesn't want to talk to this so-called biological father.

"I'm Mona Hoss, the heir of the Hoss family. If you need anything in alchemy, you can trade with my butler. I will provide you with the best alchemy products."

Her words were a bit too arrogant, and no alchemist dared to say such words at present, which caused a lot of whispers.

Mona still didn't respond.

It has to be said that her self-confidence shocked many people, and everyone was gradually infected and began to believe her words.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, alchemy is worth investing in.

"Of course, I also learned some astrology. If there is any topic about fate, everyone can discuss it with me, but this is a bit sad. Even I can only have a chance to see fate once a week."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes suddenly became eager. Unlike the previous alchemy, astrology is not something that everyone knows. Now that so many nobles have been summoned, the possibility of Mona telling so many lies It can already be said to be very small.

She said too much, so that as long as one of them fails to come true, the others will encounter disbelief. This is fatal to Mona who wants to gain a firm foothold in the Lenksandu Empire.

And the more deadly it is, the more believable her words will be.

Out of this consideration, everyone came up one after another to say something to Mona, which pushed the Duke of Valenser far away again.

After finally waiting for Mona to stop talking, and the people around her gradually dispersed, the Duke of Valenser finally found an opportunity to go up: "Mona, you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, and Mona smiled lightly in his direction. At first he was relieved, thinking that Mona would be easy to talk, but the words that Mona uttered the next moment were different from those of Wallenster. Imagine the difference.

"It's the ancient crown prince!"

The Duke of Valencia turned around abruptly, and saw a familiar figure approaching. It was the crown prince of the empire, Yu Gu.

As the duke, he is naturally well aware of the character of the Crown Prince Yugu. Excessive self-confidence and arrogance have made Yugu develop a character that is unambiguous, and the favorable environment and identity have further contributed to his character. The Duke dared not touch his bad luck.

It seems that it is impossible to communicate with Mona today.

No.

Wallenster took a deep look at Mona.

She really deserves to be his good daughter. I think she designed so many coincidental interruptions today, right?

Regardless of the Duke of Warrenster's mental journey, Mona noticed that Yugu was a little impatient.

It's like being asked to come here by others, but I don't want to come here.

——It seems that he doesn't know that he is a reincarnated person.

After realizing this, Mona quickened her pace and approached Yugu before he said anything: "Don't you recognize me yet? Natsume Kengo-san."
