The little servant girl entered hesitantly and bowed before Emma, saying, "Miss, there's something this servant needs to report."Emma looked calmly, and Qri softly spoke, "Miss, this is the little servant girl Stela from the tea room."A servant girl from the tea room? Emma felt suspicious, but her expression remained gentle. "What's the matter?"Stela said, "Earlier, the First Young Master came and mentioned that he dropped a fan near the grass. He then requested the help of some maids under Miss's command to search for it. Initially, Ori was in the embroidery room, but she volunteered to leave and informed me to come to report this to you."Emma looked at Stela for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Qri, reward her. In three days, promote her to second-level maid. She doesn't need to return to the tea room. She can stay and serve in the mansion."Stela was overjoyed and quickly gave a deep bow. "Thank you so much, Miss!"A lowly maid was instantly promoted to a second-level position
Emma took a deep breath. She had exhausted all her patience, leaving the other party two chances. But they only thought about seizing opportunities without realizing the predicament of the host! If Ori had a bit of insight, she would know that she couldn't possibly have anything to do with the First Young Master!Much later, Emma remained extraordinarily calm and silent. Qri, unable to bear it, said, "Perhaps Ori was deceived by someone."Emma looked at her and slowly said, "Deceived? She doesn't even reflect that if she's not of use, how could the First Young Master possibly value the servant of his younger sister!" Emotions surged from her heart and a cold expression formed on her face.Luther pondered and cautiously asked, "Miss, what should we do next?"Emma's face gradually calmed down. "Find someone to monitor her closely. Every move she makes must be reported."Luther respectfully replied, "Yes."Qri wiped her tears in secret. Emma saw and sighed softly, "Qri, I know you and Or
Emma's distinct black and white eyes showed surprise, "Elder sister, I gave the eldest a jade ink stick," then her gaze rested on the beautiful embroidered bag, saying, "Did the eldest say it was an embroidered bag?"Jadeite's expression changed, "It's true that the Third Miss didn't give one. I must have misremembered."Emma stepped closer and suddenly pointed to the pouch on his side, exclaiming in disbelief, "Wait a moment, isn't this pouch Ori's?" Then she turned around and looked at Ori with a smile that seemed like no smile, saying, "Your embroidery skills are just like the Second Miss from the Seldom family in Malami. I'm sure our Prime Minister wouldn't find another like it with the intricate stitching and elegant color combinations, not to mention the exquisite technique."Everyone was shocked, and Claire covered her mouth, saying, "What's this? So why do you have a bag of money made by a maid?!"The Old Madam's complexion darkened; the son she considered superior to had rece
Except for the Third Miss, others could not touch Madam's tea! But the situation right now...Emma chuckled lightly and said, "No need to investigate, Mother. Except for Annabel, who specializes in tea, only I could have come into contact with Madam's tea."The expressions of everyone suddenly became excited.Luna Sandra said, "What's going on here? Felicia, you claimed earlier that it wasn't Moose cheese but goat cheese?"Felicia affirmed, "I can confirm that there was no precious Moose cheese in the teacup. Instead, there was goat cheese with a similar appearance."Emily inquired curiously, "What is goat cheese?"Jadeite calmly explained, "Goat cheese is, of course, a low-cost item and can't compare to the value of Moose cheese."Emily's face showed astonishment, "Wait, are you saying that Third Miss switched Madam's Moose cheese? Oh my, Third Miss, how could you do that!"Emma looked coldly at her, "Fifth Younger Sister, the matter hasn't been clarified yet. Please refrain from mak
In such a tense moment, Emma broke into a smile. Her smile was decisive, self-assured, sending shivers down Jadeite's spine.Jadeite regained his composure. He knew that Ori must have planted the ten gold coins and the pieces of moose cheese he had prepared in Emma's room. If those were found, it didn't matter how Emma argued; it would be useless.Treating her this way was cruel, but who asked her to climb higher and higher in the Old Madam's favor without knowing when to stop? In Jadeite's heart, only his mother and blood sister Felicia were a true family. These other lesser sisters were merely pawns. That they dared to challenge their authority was an offense that must be paid for dearly. Emma, this time, would either die or be expelled from the Seldom family!Beta Henry furrowed his brows. Emma was just a secondary daughter and carried terrible luck. If she did steal from the Old Madam, handling it quietly would be enough. He thought that way and calmly sipped his tea, leaving the
Jadeite's complexion turned extremely unsightly. Luna Sandra stood up by his side, then slowly sat back down. Suddenly, she realized that both of her children had been seen through by someone else in every action they took!Emma let out a smile, a brightness that was as clear and refreshing as a blooming spring flower, radiating blinding brilliance that made it hard to look directly at her. "Elder brother, do you find it strange? Why did you instruct Ori to clumsily switch the tea I made for the Old Madam, only to find out it wasn't goat cheese? Why, even though Ori had put moose cheese and gold and silver in my room, it went unnoticed?""Emma, don't twist the truth!" Jadeite's face turned purple with anger as he scolded."Elder brother, you consider yourself faultless in your actions, but you should understand that there's no wall in this world that the wind doesn't blow over." Emma calmly stated, "However, it remains to be seen whether the Old Madam and Father are willing to show fa
Felicia could hardly conceal her deep-seated resentment. She bowed her head in submission, "Yes, it's unjust, sister." She paused momentarily, continuing, "I hope you can forgive me."Felicia bit her rosy lips, her eyes gleaming with unshed tears. Everyone was captivated by her beauty at this moment. It was faithful, beautiful women everywhere, but finding someone with such a captivating charm was hard.Emma looked at her and spoke word by word, "Elder sister, I've never blamed you or our elder brother."I only wish I could drink your blood and eat your flesh."In the end, it was just a misunderstanding."One day, I will slaughter all of you and leave no one behind."We're still good sisters."Slowly, she waited for everyone to let go, which would be pretty interesting.Emma's eyes blinked and immediately broke into a bright, radiant smile, revealing her white teeth. "Please stand up."Luna Sandra believed everything was resolved, yet she failed to notice the disappointment in Beta He
In the Imperial Palace, there used to be numerous Sea Blossoms planted. At that time, Emma believed that the fresh and beautiful Sea Blossoms symbolized the protection and affection Alpha Jeffn had for her. Later, she learned that the Sea Blossom was known by another name: the Disruption Flower. It was associated with bad omens; in reality, Alpha Jeffn detested this type of flower. Everything had been just a play, and today he brought Sea Blossoms, a remarkable provocation.Luther said, "The Third Prince mentioned that the flower represents a worthy beauty. He unintentionally bothered the young ladies today, so he borrowed this flower as an offering and an apology. The first flower is the Peony, the second is the Trumpet Flower, the third is the Chinese Bellflower, the fourth is the Reedmace, and the fifth is—"Observing Emma's expression, Luther fell silent.Seeing the Red Sea Blossoms resembling flames, Emma instinctively reached out and gently touched the entire blossom. She paused
