Chapter 705: A New Venture, a War Coward? (Seeking subscription, seeking

Upon hearing this, Dmitri breathed a sigh of relief. Mikhail was the Minister of Finance, with great power, and was also the reliance of their family; he must not have any accidents.

If something really happened, their family would have to consider a retreat.

Actually, Dmitri did not need to worry, after all, Lyudmila had a bigger and more reliable reliance.

But as an older brother, he still sighed and said: "The Holy Capital is now full of treacherous waves, the Witch Ancestor has descended, and the new emperor has ascended the throne. It is good that you can come back to avoid it. Although there are more refugees here and it is more chaotic, the war has not spread here after all, so it is still stable."

At this time, the older sister, Olga, who had heard the news, also walked up, gently took Lyudmila's hand, and said softly: "It is good that my sister is back. It has been four or five years since I went to the Holy Capital to see you last time. Since you are back, stay at home for a few more days and accompany your sister."

Seeing her sister Olga, Lyudmila had many things to say, especially about the dirty words she heard when giving out porridge.

She hurriedly pulled Olga back to her boudoir.

Closing the door, Lyudmila said eagerly to Olga: "Sister, I heard that you have been personally giving out porridge to refugees every day recently? This is too dangerous! Those refugees are a mixed bag, many of them are so hungry that they will do anything. I see that the way they look at you is not right! You should let the servants do it in the future, and never show your face again!"

Upon hearing this, Olga smiled lightly, not taking it to heart, patted her sister's hand, and her tone remained as gentle as a spring breeze: "Silly sister, you have stayed in that big dyeing vat of the Holy Capital for too long, looking at everyone with defense.

Those refugees are away from their homes and have no food to eat; they are already very pitiful. We give them a bite to eat, and they are too grateful to have any bad intentions. Don't think of everyone as so filthy."

Looking at her sister's eyes, which were so pure that they did not contain a trace of impurity, Lyudmila was simply dumbfounded.

This sister of hers was truly protected too well by the family. In this territory of their own in the Maple Leaf Fief, with the prestige of her father and two older brothers, she had almost never encountered any real malice since she was a child.

Even her nominal brother-in-law had to look at her mood and get her consent if he wanted to touch her.

This made Olga almost completely unaware of the sinister nature of human hearts, and she still viewed this world with the kindest eyes.

Lyudmila had stayed for many years in the center where power and desire were intertwined in the Holy Capital. As the wife of the Minister of Finance, she had seen too many plays of people who were hypocritical on the surface but engaged in male-thievery and female-prostitution in private, and she understood the dark side of human nature too deeply.

She knew that it was futile to say more to her sister who was immersed in beautiful fantasies, so she could only sigh helplessly and repeatedly urged: "Sister, in short, listen to my advice. Try to reduce going out recently, especially do not go to places with many refugees alone. Even if you want to go, you must bring more guards!"

Olga covered her mouth and laughed lightly, a trace of confident light flashing in her eyes: "Alright, alright, my good sister, don't worry blindly. Have you forgotten? Your sister is very strong, ordinary people can't get close to me."

She indeed possessed good cultivation and could be considered an expert in this Maple Leaf Fief, which was one of the reasons why she dared to give out porridge with only a few servants.

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Lyudmila knew that her sister's character was soft on the outside and firm on the inside, and it was difficult to change things she had decided on, so she did not say more, but the worry in her heart did not decrease at all.

She chatted with her sister about some family matters for a few more sentences, then got up to visit her mother.

At the same time, having gotten rid of the "burden," Li Chen felt a sense of relaxation all over his body.

In front of Lyudmila, he needed to maintain the mysterious and majestic aura of the Witch Ancestor, and his words and actions could not be too casual.

Now it was completely different! He found a corner where no one was around, quickly changed into a more dilapidated and dusty gray wizard's robe, and completely internalized his powerful aura.

He even deliberately created a false impression of stagnant spiritual power and unstable realm, looking exactly like a down-and-out wizard who could not survive in the war and had fled to the rear to live a precarious life. ===== CHAPTER 706 =====
