No doubt it would have entirely made her year. But since little could live up to our...antics at Lestrange Manor, she would feel compelled to retire, and we would all be terribly deprived in her absence.
[ As far as defiling Lestrange Manor and testing Rodolphus' patience go - well, he may have some skills in those areas, but he also intends to continue to live...so Lucius will just leave that comment unanswered.
He is not an unobservant man, though, and he has noted that as he's distanced himself from Lestrange Manor - at the behest of the Minister of Magic himself, of course - Bella has made more and more appearances at Malfoy Manor. Often overnight, often culminating in a private breakfast in the library (annoying Scorpius and his pet is one thing; doing so before coffee another). He's certainly observant enough to note that Bella has commandeered a few of his best dressing gowns, certainly. He's also smart enough not to make anything of it.
More to the point, Lucius is both observant enough and intelligent enough to know that any day Bellatrix quits work before 8pm practically constitutes a dire emergency. ]
You may consider me at your service, darling. Perhaps we ought to consider putting the elves to good use and taking ourselves off to a quiet dinner after the most precious items are transported.

[ Dark artifacts, obviously. ]
