The Fourth Stepmother hurriedly spoke, "No hardship, no hardship. Our duty as young ladies is to show the Lady filial piety." After finishing, she glanced briefly at Emma, "I wonder what the Duchess thinks..."Emma, of course, didn't decline. Every day she would go to Luna Sandra's room to spend time there and extend her life by at least ten years. Furthermore, it wasn't something she could refuse. The First Madam was ill, and the Second Miss came to show filial piety. It wasn't too excessive. Although it was a bit unexpected...In Luna Sandra's eyes, a fleeting hint of something crossed, her mouth twitching as if she wanted to speak, to object. Finally, she said, "What does Senior Lady think?"Naturally, Senior Lady responded reasonably and appropriately. She nodded and waved her hand dismissively as if shooing away a fly. "Alright, just like that."On the way back, Emma seemed deep in thought. When she returned to her quarters, she took a book and sat on a swing to read.Qri noticed
Qri immediately handed over the handkerchief, and Nanny Joie held it, not daring to say a word. She was afraid of the Third Miss. She had always been afraid. From the day the other party entered the residence until now, she had witnessed everything. From a girl, nobody bothered to look at to someone everyone paid attention to. She didn't know when she had become the Senior Lady's favorite and even had a connection to the royal family. Luna Sandra had put in all her effort to scheme and plan, yet none bore any fruit! Following her instincts, Nanny Joie raised the handkerchief to wipe her face and suddenly felt it wet. The smell of fresh blood reached her nose. Looking up, she saw blood and gore, horrified.Emma laughed, "Qri, what are you doing? How dare you give Nanny Joie a dirty handkerchief."Qri replied calmly, "Apologies, Nanny Joie. This handkerchief was left by Nanny Jane that day. You can take it with you."Nanny Joie's whole body trembled, a tumultuous feeling surged in her h
Omega Lanka quickly said when he saw everyone retreating, “Luna Sandra’s thoughts are unpredictable, and we need to have more insights!”Even though Omega Lanka was simple, he wasn’t foolish. Emma couldn’t help but laugh.Omega Lanka looked at her laughing and reproached, “Silly maid, be more careful!” After saying this, tears welled up in his eyes!Emma smiled and handed him her handkerchief. “Mom, don’t worry; I won’t fall into any traps.”“You never know; she used to plan against me, and I was scared the moment I entered the house!” Omega Lanka said, and his face turned pale. Emma comforted him, “No, we’ve arranged everything carefully. We won’t give them a chance to do anything.”Omega Lanka felt more at ease after hearing this, and Emma reassured him further before bringing him back inside.For Emma, Luna Sandra had arranged the best room in the Happy Manor. Emily, without enthusiasm, ignored Erica’s protests and immediately left to make her point. Just as Nanny Joie, who had jus
The more unusual it is that there are no issues. Emma nodded and pushed away her thoughts. She strolled to the hot spring in the Happy Manor. The pool was unlike a regular bath; the water was sourced from an external hot spring, infused with various fragrances and precious herbs. Unfortunately, aside from Luna Sandra and Felicia, no one else had the privilege of enjoying it. The main reason the second madam had a grudge against Luna Sandra was because of the beauty and this hot spring in the manor.The entire pool was quiet, with only the sound of flowing water and the faint scent of flowers in the air.Emma dipped her hand into the water, and the rising steam gently swirled around her hand, creating a hazy mist.Luther stood guard outside, and Qri stepped in to attend to Emma.Emma closed her eyes, her face looking somewhat exhausted.At that moment, a very faint sound came from outside the window. Emma opened her eyes, turned to look, and saw something dark crawling in through the w
From the window, four scorpions larger than the previous ones continuously crawled in. Qri, panicked and incoherent, tried to pull Emma outside, but Emma stopped her. “We can’t leave in this disarray. We won’t be able to explain what’s happening. Don’t you understand?”Qri, her heart racing with fear, clutched at her clothes. She had never been so frightened before. At that moment, Emma gently took her hand. “Don’t speak. I have a plan.”Qri didn’t know what Emma’s plan was, but she felt that in this situation, there didn’t seem to be any other options.Emma had planned. She knew Dan was somewhere nearby, secretly protecting her. All she had to do was blow the small golden flute she wore around her neck, and everything would be fine. But that would reveal her forces too soon, and Luna Sandra was cautious, never wanting to waste any resource.Countless scorpions had come dangerously close. Emma’s hand rested on the golden flute, and she thought quickly. But she kept her hand still, as
At this point, the guards finally reacted and quickly backed out.Erica felt like fainting. It was all over, completely over!Emma smiled and whispered, “Let’s go.”This little play will please Luna Sandra.Luna Sandra did her best to control the situation. She even sent people to keep the eight guards who had entered the room waiting for the old man to return and deal with it. The more she tried to suppress the rumors, the faster they spread. Soon, Luna Sandra’s use of the scorpion as medicine and her escape from the hospital were revealed. Then she crawled into the hot spring. When the Fifth Miss was scared to faint, the scorpion bit a maid. When the guards rushed into the bathing room, the Fifth Miss had not yet had time to put on her clothes, revealing her scene of embarrassment, and the news spread everywhere.The Fourth Stepmother ran into Luna Sandra’s residence, and as soon as she entered, she burst into tears, causing Luna Sandra to furrow her brow. “What are you crying for?
At that moment, Emily suddenly raised her head and exclaimed, “Scorpion, scorpion!” Then, her demeanor turned sinister, her face twisted into a malicious expression. Initially, Luna Sandra hoped to find out something, but she didn’t expect Emily to suddenly go baffling. She screamed loudly and lunged towards Luna Sandra.Luna Sandra couldn’t evade in time, and she let out a desperate cry, clutching her left ear. Then her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.Emily had just bitten off Luna Sandra’s left ear!Today, Luna Sandra was wearing phoenix-shaped golden earrings, and Emily, who was not in her right mind, saw those earrings as if they were the raised tail of a scorpion, leaping to bite off Luna Sandra’s ear. Afterward, she spat out the ear, and then she lunged at the fourth stepmother nearby. The fourth stepmother panicked and shouted, falling to the ground and crawling back outside, exclaiming, “Quickly catch the child! Catch her!”The entire room was in chaos, but Emma remained ca
Emma paused and asked, “Is my little sister planning to seek revenge on me?” Before she could continue, Erica tightly held her arm. “Third Sister, Third Sister, I just didn’t understand. I know everything is because of what I’ve done, but I can’t blame you. But... please spare my life.”Seeing the pleading eyes of her younger sister, Emma’s expression froze for a moment. Carol was about to step forward to intervene, but Emma shook her head slightly. Carol hesitated for a moment and then stood still.“Fourth Sister, if your concern for Fifth Sister is genuine, I pray the gods will keep her healthy for the rest of her life,” a voice as cold as ice suddenly interjected.Both of them were horrified.Draco had a handsome face, but his thin lips revealed a mocking smile, and even his words carried a hidden coldness and cruelty that was difficult to detect.Erica was shocked and involuntarily loosened her grip.Draco gave her a chilling glance and then turned to Emma. “Third Sister, shall we
