“Her cousin, Xu Yunyun, had escaped from Camino. She seemed to have committed a crime. Xu Yunyun said that she hated Wu Pingting to death because she had gotten her family arrested. Su Fei told her that the person she hated the most was not Wu Pingting, but Nangong Nuannuan. Nangong Nuannuan was why the Xu family had been arrested. When I saw how Su Fei gritted her teeth when she talked about you and how she wished that you were dead, the idea of befriending her arose in my heart. I went to inquire about Su Fei’s identity and found out that she was a relative of the Shipley family. She was a person with status and money. So, I befriended her and gave her my business card. After she found out that I was the Duke’s girlfriend, she treated me with respect and exchanged cards with me. Yesterday, when I found out that you were coming, I immediately gave her a call.”
“Emily, our story ends here. Take her to the police station and arrest that Su Fei as well.” Eton did not want to listen anymore and ordered people to take Emily away.
“No! I don’t want to go! Let me go! Eton, you can’t treat me like this! You’re not being fair!” She had already admitted to everything. Why did he still not want to let her leave and give birth to her child properly?
“Are you out of your mind? After doing such a disgusting thing to him, you can still say that the Duke isn’t being fair to you? You’re so self-righteous. Do you think that the world revolves around you? Idiot!” Wu Pingting released her rage and left Emily speechless.
Sze Lingyun poked her and told her not to talk such nonsense.
Wu Pingting then remembered that this was the Duke’s residence and that the person in front of her was the Duke, whose status was second only to Her Majesty the Empress.
Duke Eton was unexpectedly amused by this. He chuckled and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Just say whatever you want. Our family isn’t one that tells you that you can’t speak your mind. We can say anything we want here. If you’re Sunny’s friends, then you’re my friends as well. Honestly, after listening to her, I think she’s pretty stupid too! Her brain isn’t like ordinary people’s, which is why she could do such a ruthless thing.”
This woman’s actions were so ruthless that the Duke could not imagine a normal brain being capable of coming up with such a scheme.
After dealing with Emily, Duke Eton said to Chi Yang and the Wu siblings, “Sorry for making a fool of myself.”
Chi Yang had a very good impression of his father-in-law. In contrast to his cold and aloof exterior, he said, “We’re all family. There’s no need to treat us like guests.”
Duke Eton liked his future son-in-law. He laughed and said, “Yes, yes, yes! We’re all family! We won’t treat each other like strangers. Nuannuan, how long do you plan to stay this time? Did you come back just to capture that Xu Yunyun?”
“Yes.” Nangong Nuannuan nodded.
A hint of disappointment flashes across Duke Eton’s eyes. “You’ll be able to catch her tonight and take her away tomorrow. Then…”
Nangong Nuannuan walked up to Duke Eton’s side, reached out, and took his arm. “Don’t worry. I haven’t seen you for a long time, so I have to accompany you for a few days, don’t I? I’m back to capture her and also meet with the Empress. And my friends want to go to the Imperial Palace to look around and take photos.”
“I’ll arrange that for you immediately. We’ll go to the Imperial Palace together tomorrow and stay there for a while.”
“Okay.”
When the three Wu siblings heard that they could stay in the Imperial Palace the following night, they were extremely happy.
