In the past, noble young ladies weren't entirely confined within their homes, but opportunities to go outside were rare. The chances for them to be seen in public were limited. The saying "Big door doesn't go out, back door doesn't come in" might not entirely depict the reality, but it wasn't too far off. Except for going to the temple to offer incense, an exception that was proper and upright and customary, so Luna Sandra taking the young ladies out wasn't strange.

However, Emma still felt something was odd, even if she couldn't pinpoint it. If Luna Sandra wanted to use this opportunity to go out and relieve her sorrows and was taking Felicia along, why was she suddenly so considerate and even taking her? Wasn't she afraid of offending her? Or was there another motive behind this? No, that wasn't right. Bonheur was a temple built by the imperial court, and although it had fallen into neglect, King Lycan had recently renovated it. Since its renovation, incense smoke has been billowing

    The fourth stepmother smiled and said, "There are only two rooms left, one facing North and the other South. Duchess, you go ahead and choose."Emma glanced at the ninth stepmother, who remained silent and serene. Emma spoke comfortably, "Both of you can choose, and I'll take the remaining room." She turned to the maids and said, "Luther, wait for the stepmothers to choose, then go and tidy up the rooms. Qri, come with me for a walk around."Emma led Qri out of the temple, away from the bustling scene. Qri expressed her discontent, "Miss, the best rooms have already been taken by them!"Emma chuckled, "All the rooms are the same, and there's no need to worry about such trivial details."Until now, she hadn't realized the purpose of Luna Sandra's visit to the temple for prayers. Therefore, she had no intention of sharing these thoughts with those narrow-minded individuals.Emma absentmindedly removed her veil. She wasn't as beautifully made up as the others; she had applied light makeup

    Felicia was as beautiful as the moon, her charm overwhelming everyone. However, in Alpha Jeffn's heart, someone else was always occupying his thoughts. This person's appearance was not as impressive as his elder sister's, and their temperament was as ruthless as a wolf. Their demeanor exuded confidence and arrogance, performing deception as casually as sipping tea. In his daily life, Alpha Jeffn maintained a degree of restraint, but this person could easily disturb his inner peace.If Emma resembled her past life, she would have considered Alpha Jeffn of paramount importance, allowing him to dictate her life. However, the current Alpha Jeffn might not have glanced at her more than once. Now, Emma consistently confronted him and even went to help others, which inadvertently caught his attention. There was an underlying sense of abnormality, a hint that no one knew which direction their destinies would take.Yet, why was Emma accompanying Edward? Alpha Jeffn couldn't help himself; his fi

    In Felicia's eyes, there seemed to be a burning fire. She couldn't decipher the meaning behind that faint smile, but it made her once proud and majestic countenance appear exceedingly strange, as if carrying a demon's breath.As the fire raged more vigorously, the deafening sounds grew louder. The roof collapsed, dust and debris filled the air, and countless sparks flew. The light of the fire shone down, illuminating the pale faces of Qri and Luther, who were overwhelmed by fear.Felicia could barely control her desire to cheer, realizing that she would never have to see Emma's detestable face again nor be infuriated by that troublesome person!Suddenly, from within the sea of flames, Carol emerged, her entire body engulfed in fire as she carried Emma and rushed out.Everyone was shocked. One of the maids shouted, "Third Miss! Third Miss is out!"Saving one person's life was more valuable than building seven towers. The pastors rushed forward to help, splashing water on Carol.

    Emma laughed, "What's impossible? In the Seldom family, the fourth stepmother, the sixth stepmother, and even Omega Lanka weren't favored. They could peacefully live by not posing a threat to Luna Sandra or using various schemes. Why didn't the stepmothers ask where the first stepmother, the second stepmother, the third stepmother, and the eighth stepmother had gone? I don't mind telling you. The first stepmother was a maid on Luna Sandra's side. She committed numerous malicious deeds against her. But the fate of the first stepmother wasn't good. Luna Sandra mentioned that she was carrying a boy in her womb, so she didn't live for more than three years! Reflect on this, stepmother. You have a weakness that Luna Sandra knows of. She'll use you until she's done, and then what will happen to you?"The ninth stepmother stammered in horror, terrified, "I... I don't..."Emma waved her hand, and suddenly, a young woman appeared on the beam above. Her face was cold like frost as she held a sle

    "Dear husband, I, your humble wife, come from a humble background. You already know this. In the beginning, I sang in a small street stall, but I couldn't avoid being gossiped about. Luna Sandra even said that I had an affair with a martial artist and forced him to torture me severely, coercing me into confessing. Although I come from a lower class, I am still pure-hearted. How could I admit to something I didn't do? I had no choice but to desperately plead with the mistress for a chance at life. She gave me an opportunity on the condition that I leave promptly. But before I left, I had to help Luna Sandra fabricate a false accusation against the third miss. I know the third miss and the mistress have always had their differences..."The revelation left Beta Henry in utter disbelief, his expression impossible to fathom.The ninth stepmother clung to the hem of his clothes, speaking with a touch of grievance, "I have won your favor, dear husband. Naturally, the mistress couldn't let me

    Luna Sandra took a sharp breath of cold air. Her whole body tensed as she turned her head. Indeed, she saw two faint apparitions moving closer from a distance. Were they really outside her mansion? "Quickly, quickly, go and see! Go right now!" Luna Sandra panicked, raising her voice as she gave orders.Indeed, some daring nannies held black lanterns and approached, but as they came where the apparitions were supposed to be, they only saw a dry patch of grass without any sign of ghostly figures.Suddenly, Luna Sandra heard distant, piercing screams. She looked in that direction and saw apparitions swirling around a nearby hallway. She immediately shouted, "Over there! Over there!"People rushed over, but there was nothing to be seen when they arrived. They were either suspicious or confused when Luna Sandra pointed out another location with apparitions.Luna Sandra had thought that someone was spreading rumors, but she saw it with her own eyes tonight. She was already ill, so seeing thi

    Joie's nanny was frightened, and Jadeite hurriedly supported her, loudly calling for the doctor. Luckily, the doctor entered the room with a medicine case and, upon seeing the situation, rushed over to examine Luna Sandra's pulse. Afterward, his expression turned extremely grave. Jadeite asked anxiously, "Doctor, is my mother alright?"The doctor's face was hard to read. "This situation..."Jadeite interjected, "Don't beat around the bush!"The doctor explained, "Madam originally had a common cold, but it worsened due to excessive anger. The blood vomit earlier was caused by pent-up frustration. I've observed her pulse; her body is weak, with a fragile heart pulse. If not treated properly, I'm afraid..."Jadeite's expression changed. Up until now, Luna Sandra had been in good health. How could her condition deteriorate to the point of having such a weak heart pulse?"First, I'll prescribe heart-strengthening medicine for her to take. She must avoid excessive worry and stress.

    From start to finish, she had no intention of saying anything more.But now, a young nobleman wearing a gem-studded belt appeared before her. He was dressed in the finest materials, with minimal ornamentation compared to the flashy wealthy people from earlier. Nevertheless, he exuded a radiant presence, like a glowing gem amidst the crowd.This person was indeed the seventh prince, Edward. He had been roped into accompanying the Ninth Princess on a lantern stroll, unexpectedly encountering Emma here. Along the way, countless people came and went, many as beautiful as flowers and gems, but only this person's figure was exceptionally dazzling.

    The second stepmother’s eyes swelled like peaches. If anyone who looked at her would think she was so compassionate.Only she knew how much effort it took to put on this facade, even using the best perfumes layered six or seven times just to make her complexion appear slightly paler.When she saw Felicia dressed in vibrant red, she was initially surprised, but then a bitter smile appeared in her eyes, and she determined not to give her time to change clothes.She grabbed her hand and said, “Quickly come in, senior lady is waiting for you!”Felicia misunderstood the meaning behind these words, becoming even more convinced that her maternal grandmother had passed away.Overwhelmed with joy, she tried to restrain her expression of happiness, intending to brush off the woman’s hand.However, unable to avoid the onlookers, she was forcefully dragged into the main hall by the woman.

    Emma estimated it to be three months, but in reality, Luna Sandra passed away just a short month after the mourning was announced at Alpha Goode Manor.On that day, before dawn had even broken, representatives from the Goreng family were already knocking on the grand doors of the Seldom family mansion.Carol received the news first and hurriedly came to report, “Luna Sandra has passed away!”Although prepared for it beforehand, upon hearing those words ringing in her ears, she still felt surprised.“Why so soon?” Luther beside her couldn’t help but remark.Carol’s face carried a hint of sarcasm as she replied, “After the Goreng family brought her back, just as the young lady said, they invited the Imperial Physician from the palace to examine her, but the lady’s condition had already deteriorated critically. She refused to take her medicine. The Goreng family tried everything, even inviting a renowned healer from the south, but before that person could arrive in the Capital, Luna Sand

    Luna Sandra despised this second maid, her eyes darting around, wide open with surprise. 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. However, the third young lady had quietly instructed that no one be allowed to talk to her. Over time, Luna Sandra seemed to forget how to communicate, spending her days in a daze, her nerves gradually deteriorating.

    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. At this moment, she thought the young man was joking, but later discovered she had been mistaken.Today, Dan rode a horse straight to the Seldom family’s residence.Dan hurried to Emma’s side, kneeling dow

Her voice was calm, so ordinary that nobody could sense the unprecedented fatigue beneath it. 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.

The result of the investigation found a wooden nameplate hanging from the waist of one of the palace maids, used for distinguishing the maids. 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. She had been in the palace for many years and had seen her fair share of such situations, but she had never witnessed King Lycan this furious.

    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
