Having achieved his goal, the attendant left Rhodes Manor not long after.
And Janis collapsed and hugged the old Duke's leg.
"Father, father, you can't just watch Lily being exiled abroad. She is only 16 years old. She has never left me. Wouldn't this cost her life?"
The old Duke snorted and threw her away.
"You know now that your daughter is only 16 years old? Why didn't you think that she was only 16 years old when you asked her to seduce His Highness Celia? Did you think about the Rhodes family when you did this?"
"I tried my best to rescue you from Friese at the risk of the whole family being implicated. I thought you would be more mature and take the overall situation into consideration after this incident, but I didn't expect you to become more serious.
"
"Janice, you disappoint me so much."
Withdrawing his gaze, the old Duke's expression suddenly became serious.
"Resk, I want you to send this woman to the countryside tonight and keep her under strict supervision. Without my order, no one is allowed to visit her, and she is not allowed to step out of the house!"
After saying these words, the old Duke left.
Reske stepped forward, glanced at the extremely embarrassed sister in front of him, and then ordered someone to help her up.
Unexpectedly, Janis suddenly grabbed his collar like crazy and screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Brother, I have never asked you for anything, but, but, please save your niece. She cannot be exiled, and neither can I, please."
Reske slowly opened her fingers and said word by word:
"This is already His Majesty's grace to you."
In fact, this is indeed the case.
On the second day after this matter was fermented in the imperial city, many nobles present that day were demoted on various charges.
Some people even died mysteriously at home.
He knew that Celia must have done something, but among those who died or fled, there were still some who supported him, which showed that someone was taking advantage of this royal public opinion for their own benefit.
Even he didn't know what he was planning.
But if the Brant Empire falls into a bloody storm because of this, then the Rhodes family will become sinners through the ages.
There's no way he would let this happen.
So Reske let the servants kidnap Janice without mercy.
Janice was completely desperate. Before her mouth was sealed, she let out a maniacal laugh.
"Look at how cold-blooded and mean my family members are."
"Those of you who bear the surname of Rhodes are a bunch of monsters, a bunch of emotionless monsters."
"Look, this emotionless family will one day be destroyed!"
Reske's eyebrows knitted together deeply as he listened to these vicious words.
Suddenly, there was a warm force in his arms.
When he looked down, it was his little daughter Myriel.
She put one hand on his forearm and stared at him with concern.
"Father, don't worry about Aunt Janice's words. You are not a cold-blooded person. You respect your wife and father, care about your children, and are considerate of your subordinates."
"At the very least, I am very happy and honored to be the daughter of Duke Reske."
In an instant, the vast glacier in Reske's heart was melting crazily.
He heard the sound of water drops falling, and heard all things resurrecting and growing wantonly.
He couldn't help but bend down and hold Bai Wu in his arms.
"Thank you, Myriel. My father is also very happy that you can become my daughter."
After the father and daughter separated, Merlin stepped forward and gently patted the back of Resker's hand.
"Leave Janice's affairs to me, and you can go and do the army's work."
Resker nodded.
He has always felt reassured about Mei Lin.
"Miriel." Mei Lin then looked at Bai Wu, "It's getting late, go back to the room with your sister."
"Okay, mother."
Bai Wu bowed slightly and followed Aisi away.
The moment she walked out of the hall, she let out a long breath and held Ais' arm anxiously.
Ais looked back at her doubtfully: "What's wrong with you? Are you so uneasy?"
"Sister, don't you feel scared?" Bai Wu's voice was trembling in the darkness.
Aisi frowned: "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of what will happen to Aunt Janis and Sister Lily. It's the first time I've encountered such a thing, and I'm absolutely terrified."
She deliberately lowered her voice, looking frightened.
Ais couldn't help but sneered in her heart.
Miriel's burden is actually so small.
Why are you so afraid of becoming like this?
She was disgusted, but Ais was still very happy. After all, how could such a timid Miriel be her opponent?
So she pretended to be kind and held her hand to comfort her: "It's okay, Miriel, it was Aunt Janice's fault in the first place. She should not have thought that her daughter could become the Crown Princess."
She is the only one in the entire Rhodes family who has this qualification.
"But sister..." Bai Wu pondered, "Don't you think all this happened is too bizarre? It's as if someone deliberately contributed to all of this, but His Highness Siriya chose the church lounge to meet Lily.
We were taken there again by the godfather——"
"How could it be weird?" Aisi interrupted her with a pale face, "Isn't this all their own fault? How can you think so?"
Could it be that Miriel has begun to doubt her?
Impossible, she did it so flawlessly, how could someone as stupid as Miriel think that all this was her conspiracy?
Aisi's joyful mood began to fade, and then she became irritable.
It seemed that every time she stayed with this Miriel, she would become inexplicably irritable.
So Aisi let go of Bai Wu's hand and said with a cold face: "Okay, let's separate here."
Bai Wu seemed to be frightened by her sudden cold face, she shrank her neck and spoke timidly.
"Sister, are you angry? Did Miriel say something wrong? If that's the case, I'm really sorry..."
