Ed forgets things he doesn't want to remember as soon as he sees them, and after just one night, he's already not very clear about what happened yesterday.
"Master, Sophia told me this morning that she messed up her desk. Do you know what happened?" Adelaide asked immediately as soon as she saw Ed.
"Who knows? Maybe there are rats in the castle," Ed replied.
"That's quite possible. I'll talk to her later and tell her to close the door properly so the mice don't get in," Adelaide said seriously.
Ed wanted to tell Adelaide, "Mind your own business."
"Adelaide, there's no need to wait. Come with me now, I need to talk to them about something."
Ed still asked about the fact that many women in the territory were pregnant, and whether they could manage with so many pregnancies.
The knocking on the door sounded again, but there was no response from inside.
"Thump, thump, thump," Adelaide used some force this time.
"Who is it?" Sophia's pleasant voice came from inside.
"It's me, Adelaide, Sofia, open the door quickly!" Adelaide said playfully while knocking on the door.
Ed was annoyed by her noise but didn't want to say anything, so he could only back away a bit.
Just as Adelaide was about to knock again, the door suddenly opened, but Adelaide couldn't take back her hand.
With a "thud," a hand struck Sofia on the forehead.
Then came an "Ah!" and Sofia covered her head with her hands, looking at Adelaide outside the door.
Adelaide looked at her with her beautiful eyes, and the two stared at each other.
However, Adelaide was also quite confused. Why did you open the door so close to it? No wonder the last knock was more satisfying, and the "thump" sound was crisper than the heavy sound of the wooden board.
After a brief silence, Sofia exploded like a firecracker about to burst: "Adelaide, don't move, I'm going to knock it back."
Will Adelaide stand still and let Sofia knock back?
certainly...
Won't,
She's not stupid.
Adelaide quickly ran back and hid behind Ed next to the wooden door.
Sophia also chased after him from behind the wooden door, and as soon as she came out, she saw Ed next to her.
Seeing Ed, it seems that the firecracker that was about to explode in Sophia was a dud without gunpowder; once the fuse burned out, there was no further explosion.
"My lord, what brings you here?" Sophia was surprised.
"Hmm, I've come to ask if you have any preparations in case many women in the territory are pregnant?" Ed asked, looking at the bump on Sophia's forehead.
Sofia was already very fair-skinned, and now the bump on her forehead was very noticeable.
Ed wanted to laugh, but he was afraid of hurting Sophia's pride, so he had to hold it in.
"My lord, the teacher has compiled some past experiences. Yesterday we went to the village and explained the knowledge to the women who are not pregnant, so they can help out later. I was just organizing some things." Although Sophia had a headache, she still answered Ed's question seriously.
"Well, Sophia, you've made excellent preparations. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Ed tried very hard not to look at Sophia's forehead, because Sophia had a red envelope on her head but was speaking in a serious manner, which made Ed unable to hold back any longer.
Watching the lord's trembling shoulders as he left, Sophia thought uncertainly:
"I think I was very elegant just now!"
