Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 699 Sarcasm
Although the old butler had been very careful and tried his best to avoid being discovered by others, it was still easy for people to discover the truth when he hurriedly took a carriage to somewhere and then returned to the lord's mansion in a covert manner.

In fact, Perfect did this on purpose. She needed to send a signal to let everyone know that she was back.

Through the old housekeeper, she had previously sent a signal to everyone that she was not at home, thus blocking a large number of people who tried to persuade her.

This was certainly effective, and while it saved her a great deal of trouble, it also made the cabinet and the entire Victoria clearly realize that they could not function without her.

Now that her goal had been achieved and the cabinet had fully realized the impact that the loss of Perfecto would have on the empire, she could prepare to return.

Sending out the right signal so that those who should know about this matter can know and react, this is the real purpose of Perfectcot asking the old butler to pick him up.

Otherwise, she could go back on her own without telling anyone, either directly or indirectly.

The outcome of the matter was not beyond her expectations, and those who should have known about it naturally received the news at the first time.

Almost as soon as she returned home, someone came to her door.

"Miss, Prime Minister Wellington and the Duke of Gloucester want to see you." The old butler reported again, but this time he did not stand outside the door. Instead, he reported to Perfecto who was dressing up.

"Let them wait, I'll go see them later." Perfect was not in a hurry. Instead, he had a leisurely and graceful manner.

Perfect's living habits are very polarized. When she chooses to enjoy herself, she can have more than a dozen maid dolls serve her alone. No matter eating, dressing, or washing and dressing up, all are done by the maid dolls, highlighting her extravagance and debauchery of not moving by herself if possible.

Moreover, the pursuit of a refined life is simply outrageous. Whether it is the most basic eating, living or hygiene habits, they are all requirements that are unacceptable in this era.

But when she plunged into the laboratory, she could survive every day on only compressed biscuits, energy bars and vitality potions, and it was common for her to not wash or dress up for several days.

When she was in Oliver's factory before, since there was only one maid, Befa, around her, she naturally didn't care too much and was relatively casual.

Now that she was back home and had to meet guests again, she naturally started to be more particular about it again.

This kind of attention to detail seemed natural to the old butler. Even if Prime Minister Wellington and the Duke of Gloucester, who came to see her, knew about it, they would only praise Perfecto's aristocratic temperament and would not think that she was disrespecting the guests.

It is a very formal etiquette to wash and dress before meeting guests. On the contrary, meeting guests with unkempt hair and dirty appearance is impolite.

The old butler naturally followed the order and went to inform the two waiting guests, and their reaction did not exceed Perfecto's expectations. The two important figures in the Victoria Empire just politely expressed their understanding and waited patiently in the reception room of the lord's mansion while smoking cigars. In their opinion, it was normal for Perfecto to spend several hours bathing, washing her hair, doing her hairstyle, putting on makeup, and picking out the outfit she was satisfied with from hundreds of clothes, and not appearing in front of them until dark.

Of course, Perfecto wouldn't spend hours on it. Although she was particular, she hated meaningless waste of time.

So she simply rinsed her body. Although washing her hair took some time, it only took about half an hour for her to change her clothes, tie her hair, and appear in front of the Duke of Gloucester and Prime Minister Wellington in a refined and elegant look.

"Earl Brandiles, your beauty is as bright as a flame in winter!" The Duke of Gloucester praised Perfecto's beauty, and then said with a slight complaint: "It is your ability to embarrass people that is more scorching than your beauty. The cabinet has been in a mess recently, and the National Assembly is in a mess!

If you don't show up again, I'm afraid people will spread rumors that the Reform Party assassinated you."

"The Reform Party? Those idiots who impeached me?" Perfect made no effort to conceal his contempt and arrogance.

"Compared to your wisdom, who is not a fool?" Prime Minister Wellington replied humorously, and then complained: "Without your coordination and overall control, the flying battleship project is more than 40% behind schedule, the cost has increased by 24%, and more than one-third of the project results have not met the expected requirements.

The Cabinet has been working overtime to resolve these issues and my wife complains that I haven't been home for a week.

If you don't show up again, I'm afraid I'll consider resigning. This position is too difficult to endure."

"Really? I think some of you must think you are smarter than me and have changed the plan I left behind. Otherwise, according to my estimation, your progress will be delayed by 20% at most, and the cost will increase by 5% at most." Perfect sneered disdainfully. Although she knew very well about the cabinet's troubles during this period, she did not expect that these guys could make things so bad.

"Well... Lord Edmund just thought that doing so could improve efficiency, but he didn't expect that he didn't have the ability to control it all." In response, Prime Minister Wellington could only say with a little embarrassment that it was indeed their lack of ability.

"Lord Edmund? The royalist Home Secretary? I remember that the most boastful thing he had ever done in his life was organizing a royal horse race?" Although there was no sarcasm in Perfectcot's words, the sentence itself was full of sarcasm.

There is no doubt that this sentence silenced both Prime Minister Wellington and the Duke of Gloucester.

It was not until the old butler brought the tea that the Duke of Gloucester broke the silence and said, "Earl Brandiles, let's skip the useless temptations and courtesies. What do you want in exchange for your promise to come back and get everything back on track?"

In response to this question, Perfect simply raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "You wanted power, so I established the prime minister system so that you could fight for power; you wanted democracy, so I established the National Assembly so that you could exercise democracy to its fullest; you wanted freedom, so I resigned from all my positions so that you could do whatever you wanted; now you tell me that you need me to go back and get everything back on track because you can't handle it anymore?

You want power and freedom, and you also want me to work hard for you. You are dreaming, but is there such a good thing in the world? "
