In Nanny Joie’s eyes, a subtle, hard-to-detect emotion passed. She clenched her teeth and said, “No, the Fifth stepmother didn’t die because of childbirth difficulties. The Fifth stepmother could have given birth to the Second Young Master, and she was even risking her life to do so. However, Madam put a mutual-antagonistic drug in her medicine to prolong her life, but that drug would make the person die unjustly—”Upon hearing this, Felicia broke out in a cold sweat, and Jadeite’s entire body turned ice cold. He never thought that his chaos had pushed his mother into taking the blame from Nanny Joie, and now, Nanny Joie was exposing all the wicked deeds committed by their mother in recent years.“Evidence. Where is it?”“I’ve always kept it, hidden in my house, the medicine from that year—” Nanny Joie lowered her head. Not only had her mistress betrayed her, but she couldn’t have foreseen that a day like this would come.“First, take her down and flog her severely!” Beta Henry was ex
Felicia, seeing the situation, realized that once she arrived at Communal Hall Gloire, she might have to stay there for the rest of her life. How could she leave so easily? She hurriedly rushed forward and knelt in front of Beta Henry. “Father, I know nothing about all of this. You know I have done nothing wrong. I can’t be blamed for my mother’s mistakes...” She was extremely anxious as she cried out, “I don’t want to go to Communal Hall Gloire, I won’t go, Father, I won’t go...”Beta Henry raised his head and shouted, “Drag her away!” Immediately, four nannies stepped forward and pulled Felicia out. Felicia cried desperately, her hair and hairpins in disarray. She was truly unfortunate, and she didn’t even understand how she got caught up in this mess. In fact, if it weren’t for Nanny Joie revealing Luna Sandra’s past, she would never have been implicated. But now, both Beta Henry and the senior lady were furious with Luna Sandra, so there was no chance they would spare her.“Where
Luna Sandra was in a daze, and Nanny Thoi approached her bedside, saying, “Madam, Luna Meria is here. Madam, please wake up.”The senior lady on multiple occasions had rejected Luna Meria in the past, which had left her suspicious. She even suspected that Luna Sandra was being held captive by someone. Now, seeing Luna Sandra in such a bewildered state in broad daylight with an unhealthy complexion, she frowned and exclaimed, “Elder sister!”Suddenly, Luna Sandra snapped out of her trance. After a long pause, she rubbed her eyes, sat up, and gazed at Luna Meria as if she didn’t recognize who she was.Luna Meria was taken aback; the other woman didn’t seem to recognize her.Luna Meria took a step closer, a sense of urgency in her voice. “Elder sister!”Luna Sandra looked at Luna Meria, raising her hands and gesturing aimlessly in front of her.“Don’t come to see me! Don’t come to see me! This can’t be blamed on me. I had no choice! If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck... Yo
Alpha Male shook his head and said, “Younger Brother, don’t be like Fifth Younger Brother, who is infatuated with Felicia. These days, Fifth Younger Brother has been telling King Lycan that he wants to marry Felicia as the Empress. But King Lycan was furious and scolded him. The young lady is beautiful, but the most important thing is that King Lycan and the Queen don’t like her. If you marry her, what good will come of it? Women, in reality, are all the same. As long as they are beautiful on the outside, the most important thing is a harmonious marriage.”Alpha Male hadn’t met Felicia yet, but he had heard from others that she was a renowned beauty in the entire kingdom. However, he felt it would be foolish to displease King Lycan over a woman.“You’ve thought too much, Older Brother.” Alpha Jeffn had considered marrying Felicia at one point, but he immediately dropped the idea when he realized that King Lycan disliked her.“Don’t push it aside, my younger brother. You’ve been collec
“Using a pen as a weapon against me?” Alpha Jeffn smiled. “If I propose to your father, would he agree to marry you to me?”Emma smiled. “Alpha Jeffn, do you lack self-respect?”Alpha Jeffn’s eyes turned cold. “Emma, my patience is not endless. I cannot easily forgive your disrespect towards me again.”Emma shook her head in disbelief. “I can’t even say one thing without you twisting it unless you want to be humiliated. Otherwise, why would you bring up marriage with my father? That can only mean you’re completely out of your mind!”“Emma, you’re indeed more interesting than the typical noble ladies,” Alpha Jeffn looked at her, his eyes unblinking, and his thin lips curled into a smile. “Cunning, cruel, smart, and crafty. A perfect match for me. Don’t you think? We might be the most compatible.”He thought of himself as a god who could freely manipulate others’ lives. He couldn’t bear the idea of her not being enamored with him, especially after he had shown interest in her.Emma chuc
Certainly, the large group came to a halt, accompanied by the resounding sound of horse hooves. The noble ladies disembarked from their carriages and moved to the side. People began setting up tents, and there was a bustling crowd around the campfires. Emma observed everyone busily going about their tasks and noticed a tent already erected in the middle, decorated in sparkling yellow with intricate embroidery of a five-fingered golden dragon, which was the Lycan King’s tent.The noble ladies gathered together, chatting and eagerly discussing which tent each prince would stay in. Having taken part in royal hunts many times, Emma found it all unexciting. She ordered Qri to arrange her belongings and took a walk outside with Carol. She was dressed in lightweight riding attire, wearing buffalo leather boots, and as they strolled on the lush green grass, she enjoyed the gentle and invigorating breeze, which carried a unique scent.At that moment, a clump of mud suddenly flew towards them.
Emma laughed coldly, stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at her. “That’s an odd thing to say, my dear sister. Why should I turn away?”Normally, Naomi was very concerned about her status, and even though she despised Emma, she usually just made sarcastic remarks here and there. Today, she seemed to have a strong desire to harm, as if something provoked her.Naomi sneered and said, “First, congratulations, you will quickly rise to greater heights, and your future as the third prince’s chief consort seems very promising. You are indeed very talented.”Emma looked coldly at her and said, “Dear sister, what can you do other than gossip?”The smile faded from Naomi’s face, her hands clenched into fists, and she glared at Emma, gritting her teeth. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Remember, you’re just a concubine’s daughter. Don’t think you can climb to the position of the third prince’s chief consort. At most, you’ll be a minor concubine. By then...”Emma stared at
That little cat was entirely snow white, with amber-colored eyes; its precious breed was immediately apparent. Emma suspected it belonged to a noble. She was about to instruct someone to let the cat go when a young palace maid entered. “Oh my, Pam, I finally found you! You’ve had me searching everywhere!” She hugged the little cat, and upon seeing Emma and the others, she put on a cheerful face and said, “Duchess, this is Luna Daisy’s cat. She’s been looking for it everywhere, and it turns out it’s here with you.”Emma remained pensive for a moment, then said, “Very well, please give me a moment to freshen up.”The palace maid smiled and said, “There’s no need. Luna Daisy is still waiting.”Emma rose and said, “In that case, please lead the way.”Standing in front of Luna Daisy’s tent, Emma paused. A female official stood at the entrance, and upon seeing Emma, she looked at her with a cold, scrutinizing gaze for a moment before finally saying, “Her Highness is waiting. Please come in.
