Emma chuckled softly, her eyes now gleaming with a chilling light. "Even if you go, making the other party believe is difficult."

Luther's eyes shifted upward. "What if Miracle accidentally leaks information?"

Emma lightly tapped the teacup with her finger and calmly said, "Last time, she failed. She would have been discarded if not for the weaknesses I hold in my hands now. If she betrays me..." She trailed off, her lips curling into a faint smile.

"And there's one thing I still don't understand," Luther hesitated. "How did the maid know to impersonate the stepmother?"

Emma looked at the sky with a heavy expression. Her deep eyes had no bottom. "A true birth mother would love her daughter like a precious gem. That day, the continuous heavy rain prompted a letter demanding a meeting. This isn't something a true mother would do."

Suddenly, Luther understood and said, "The Third Miss is indeed cautious."

    Emily turned her head back, having just finished applying makeup, making her scar appear less prominent. She smiled and said, "Elder sister has arrived. Please have a seat."Felicia chuckled and said, "I have something to discuss with you." Then, she turned to Omega Olivia and added, "Stepmother, you may leave."Omega Olivia seemed hesitant for quite a while, pacing back and forth as if she didn't want to leave, fearing Emily might say something inadvertently. Felicia noticed this and grew even more curious.Emily, completely clueless, asked, "Stepmother, is there something else?"With a stern look, Omega Olivia gave her a pointed glare and left.Felicia carefully examined the wound on Emily's face and commented, "It seems your complexion has improved greatly."Instinctively, Emily touched the scar on her face. It wasn't significantly better, just somewhat improved compared to its initial state. She replied, "It's somewhat better, thanks to Step... I mean, Stepmother's help." She stop

    Luna Sandra smiled to ease the tension and said, "Madam, if it weren't urgent, I wouldn't have disturbed you. Here's the situation: my husband has been having constant nightmares for the past few days, and I've been deeply concerned. So, I invited the most renowned mage in the Capital to assess the situation. He suspects that there might be evil energies disturbing our household."The senior lady gave a cold laugh, "Malevolent energies? Where could such things be?"Luna Sandra's expression cooled slightly, her gaze filled with pressure sweeping across everyone. She continued, "I would like Madam's approval to investigate our estates."The senior lady's brows furrowed again. Her eyes emitted a sad, faded look in the candlelight, "What are you talking about? You want to investigate at this time of night?"Luna Sandra calmly replied, "That's correct."The senior lady's brows furrowed more tightly. Just as she was about to speak, Beta Henry furrowed his brows and interjected, "Madam, rece

    "The child has gone mad!"The third lady sighed and said, "That's right, Felicia. Previously, your father punished you because you made a mistake. How could you hold such resentment and curse someone like this? How could a young girl create such a situation?"Suddenly, Felicia became extremely frightened and exclaimed, "Father, it's not me! It's not me!"Jadeite immediately rushed forward and knelt before Beta Henry, realizing the gravity of the situation. "Father, my sister certainly wouldn't do such a thing. She's kind-hearted and gentle, the most favored daughter. Do you think she would do this?"Beta Henry stared fixedly at Felicia's face, still as beautiful and delicate as before. She was captivating, a presence that couldn't be ignored – but he couldn't understand why; the more he looked, the more he felt fear and dread. Could the child, motivated by jealousy over Emma's favor, harm her? Could she steal ideas from others to gain fame, even resort to the gruesome act of consuming

    The depths of the senior lady's heart sighed as she spoke, "Felicia, your father only wishes for you to live through each day. There's no need for further explanations. Where is she? Help the First Miss pack her belongings!"Luna Sandra's face grew cold, and suddenly she stood up from the ground and said, "Madam, you should let me bid farewell to the young miss."The senior lady looked at her, her brows slightly furrowed."Alright," Beta Henry responded to Luna Sandra's urgent plea, pondered for a moment, and then instructed the person beside him, "Those responsible for today's investigation, except for those we can trust, they all—"Emma overheard from a distance, her gaze lowering. Beta Henry intended to eliminate those servants who knew too much. But the people in this room were all the heads of the Seldom family. Who would be willing to risk their wealth and transmit information outside? However, the maids might be different. At any time, they might betray their masters. Even Dr.

    This Valentine's Day, isn't it too sensitive? She was exposed to the point where she didn't know how to respond."I'm sorry, I am truly foolish..." Draco lowered his head and said. He shouldn't have said these words, which might put the Third Madam in a bad mood.Emma smiled, gripping his hand tighter. "No, it's not because we're on the same boat that I said these things to you. It's the opposite. I like you, Draco. That's why I don't want you to get hurt."Draco looked up, "So, am I being too weak, causing trouble for you?"Emma paused for a moment, shaking her head. "No."Draco's dark eyes couldn't see their depths. "At this point, does the Third Madam still want to console me?""Everything I've said is true." Emma looked at him intently, speaking seriously, "You're a smart young man, and you'll become even smarter than me. You'll become a support for the Third Madam and me. Since I don't have a younger brother, you're like my flesh and blood." Here, Emma paused and chuckled.The co

    Emma looked on, feeling sorry for the Third Madam. The Third Madam wanted to step down from her position, but the other party didn't believe her intentions. They tried to take over to feel at ease personally. Most people probably couldn't explain it, but Emma understood. Luna Sandra was that kind of person—never letting anyone slip from her grasp.The Third Madam chuckled, but suddenly, a lump was in her throat. She couldn't help but start coughing. Emma gently patted her back, and Draco quickly came over.A maid brought a copper basin over, and the coughing finally subsided after a while."I thought I might live a few more years," the Third Madam spoke between breaths, "But now, it seems there aren't many days left..."In her previous life, the Third Madam passed away after Draco went through an unexpected incident. Draco had been saved, but the Third Madam had unintentionally contracted an illness. Could nothing change? Emma held the Third Madam's hand tightly, wearing a comforting

    Draco's voice choked up, and his head lowered onto his arm. He sounded hoarse and distressed, but for the first time in his voice, Emma didn't hear vulnerability and weakness. Instead, there was a clear and icy resentment: "Half a month ago, on the way back from praying to Buddha, my mother saved a young woman. She gave her food and water, and the woman was grateful to my mother. But later, my mother discovered that the woman came from an epidemic-stricken area. At first, we didn't think much of it, but I remembered that event when my mother fell ill. Something didn't seem right. That path is a route the palace women take to go up the mountain to pray to Buddha. Even though the common people are fleeing, they don't go up the lonely mountain; they go to the bustling town. Why did she go up the remote mountain? On the way, we encountered numerous carriages, but she kept silent. Why did she suddenly fall in front of my mother's carriage? She only gave us water and food, so why did she wa

She smirked coldly, turned her head away without paying attention, and continued to pretend to wipe her tears with a fake show of emotion.

This was genuinely troublesome!At this point, the people outside had begun to worry, and the news of the Third Madam's passing had surprised many.When the Third Madam was alive, she had preferred simplicity, and even her funeral arrangements had been modest, avoiding excessive extravagance.

It turned out that every flower, every blade of grass, every door and window, every piece of furniture, and even the mountainside, the dining hall, everything was plastered with yellow talismans.This bizarre scene left Luna Sandra dumbfounded.Miona exclaimed, “This is—”She turned back to look at Luna Sandra, her eyes questioning, but Luna Sandra seemed bewildered, unable to say anything. Nanny Marry breathed a sigh of relief; currently, Luna Sandra was confined to her room, though she ate and took her medicine three times a day as usual.

    Luna Sandra’s grandmother observed Emma from afar, clad in simple attire, with a graceful figure and gentle footsteps. Her eyes carried a hint of a smile as she appeared, lacking the ostentatious beauty of a moonflower, yet her gentle smile and serene demeanor, with tranquil eyebrows, exuded a rustic elegance, akin to a proud white orchid.Luna Sandra glanced, immediately recognizing Emma’s subtle strength. Such a girl lacked the captivating beauty of Felicia, but concealed her own power and charm. While she seemed plain at first glance, she stood out among a myriad of blooming flowers, inadvertently dominating the room.Emma acknowledged Luna Sandra’s assessing gaze with a calm smile, sincerely addressing her, “Emma pays respects to the maternal grandmother, the first sister-in-law.”Luna Sandra remained silent, her maid Miona astute, stepping forward to support Emma’s hand, carefully assessing her from head to toe, remarking, “The third cousin is exquisite, pure and gentle, generous

    He suddenly remembered something, his face darkening. “Has someone angered you?” The words had barely left his mouth when he immediately felt regret. Tentatively, he reached out, lifting her face, a tear as cold as ice falling onto his hand without warning. Clearly cold as it was, the young man’s heart felt as if it had been scorched in an instant, a pain inexplicable.Emma raised her head, her eyes devoid of tears, as if the tear in his hand was merely an illusion. She smiled gently, whispering to the confused young man, “Younger brother...”Now, the only person she could fully rely on was him.If possible, she hoped, he would not change throughout his life.“I won’t let anyone bully you.” The young man reached out, stroking her soft hair.Emma was stunned, then immediately smiled.

She said, “I did this for the Seventh Prince’s own good.”Edward looked at her in surprise.Emma continued, “Today’s events, on the surface, Luna Daisy, were reprimanded by King Lycan. However, King Lycan knows he wronged Luna Daisy and even contemplated assassination. King Lycan will conclude that someone overwhelmed with jealousy against his beloved consorts plotted against Luna Daisy, always so gentle. Tell me, who will think King Lycan is a threat and resort to taking action against her?”“You intentionally chose Luna Meria?” Edward looked at her in disbelief.“That’s right, Luna Meria’s second son, who is also my Second Elder Brother, was married into the Alpha Male’s household.

This nameplate was traced back to Luna Daisy’s palace.At that moment, the expressions of everyone present changed dramatically.Luna Daisy had always been highly favored by King Lycan and had remained unshaken in her position for many years. But now, King Lycan was furious as he held up the wooden nameplate meant to distinguish the palace maids and threw it strongly in Luna Daisy’s direction, saying, “Luna Daisy, is this the good deed you’ve done?”Luna Daisy’s face suddenly turned pale.

    Luna Meria, upon hearing these words, displayed anger and bitterness on her face, saying, “Emma, if it weren’t for your desire to compete with Naomi, how could she end up in this state? Everything is because of you...”Monami looked at Luna Meria with sympathy and believed that this had nothing to do with Emma. If it weren’t for Naomi’s haughty attitude, Emma wouldn’t have wanted to compete with her. Furthermore, her injury was an unfortunate accident. Just as Monami was about to speak, Emma gently interrupted, saying, “Miss Monami, I have a few words to speak with my aunt. Could you step out for a moment?”Monami was a wise and tactful young lady who understood human nature. She believed Emma wanted to explain things to Luna Meria, so she smiled and said, “Of course I’ll leave for now. I’ll find you later.” As she observed the behavior of many young noble ladies who were often haughty, Monami, with her martial family background, admired Emma’s straightforward, intelligent, and courag
