The incident between Janice and her daughter plunged the entire manor into a gray and tense atmosphere.
From the housekeeper to the lowest servant, anyone who had personal contact with Janice was expelled.
Meilin was well influenced by the iron-blooded skills of the Rhodes family, and she handled matters quickly and neatly. Within three days, the entire manor was restored to its previous appearance.
Even Bai Wu couldn't help but admire her as a mother.
Perhaps this rigid old aristocratic family that has lasted for hundreds of years needs people like Mei Lin who are also emotionless to maintain it.
I just don’t know how long such a deformed family emotional bond can last.
During this period, Aisi was in the best mood.
Janice's mother was defeated effortlessly and her self-confidence was unprecedentedly satisfied.
Her mother fought with Janis all her life, and finally relied on her to turn the situation around.
How could a mere Miriam be able to suppress her?
However, just when she was complacent, she accidentally caught something that made her completely uneasy——
She found the snake head necklace that originally belonged to Lily from Miriel's room!
Thinking of what the antique shop owner said that day, Aisi grabbed the necklace and questioned Bai Wu without thinking.
"Why is this necklace here with you?"
Bai Wu blinked her eyes and said innocently:
"That's because Lily liked my necklace very much, so we exchanged it."
"when?"
"Christmas Eve."
There was a "buzz" and Ais's mind went blank.
If this necklace had already reached Miriel's hands that day, it means that the person who met Celia before was not Lily at all, but her good sister Miriel!
Ais took a breath of air, narrowed her eyes and looked at the sister in front of her who was wearing a small white dress and had extremely innocent eyes, and sneered again and again.
"Well, Myriel, you have such a good plan that even I was fooled."
Bai Wu put away her smile and looked at her in confusion.
"Sister, what are you talking about? What's going on?"
"Oh, now that things have come to this, are you still pretending to be stupid? Why does Lily have an affair with His Highness Celia? It's clearly you!"
Bai Wu was startled, a hint of anger and disappointment appeared on her usually gentle face, and then she bit her lip and choked with sobs.
"Sister, why do you say that? Did you misunderstand me? I did go to an antique shop with my father that day, but I didn't see His Highness Celia at all, and"
As she said that, she lowered her head, touched the mask on her right face with her fingers, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Besides, who can look at me like I am now?"
Yes, Celia has been pampered since childhood. As the crown prince, what kind of woman has he not seen?
Even if she was as stunning as Lily, he would just throw her away ruthlessly after using her up. How could he fall in love with Myriel so much that he would be so crazy about her that he would hold a ball?
But it's not impossible.
After all, Miriel looks exactly like her, and she has always been very satisfied with her appearance.
Perhaps Her Highness Celia bumped into her accidentally, but Miriel didn't know about it?
Thinking of this, Aisi narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip on the necklace.
"Miriel, let me ask you, did you wear this necklace the day you went out with your father?"
She was so frightened by her words that she didn't notice Miriel's dress at all, and she couldn't even remember clearly what happened that day.
Hearing this, Bai Wu nodded cautiously.
Aisi was even more certain about this.
Maybe the person Celia likes is really Myriel!
She was still wondering before, if Her Highness Celia really fell in love with Lily, why would she be so ruthless to her after their affair was revealed?
Her original intention was to make Lily's scandal known to the world, so that His Majesty would feel that she was not qualified to be the Crown Princess.
Ais didn't sleep all night after knowing the truth.
She never expected that Miriel would be attracted by Celia.
She would rather this person be Lily!
But now Lily has been expelled from Brant.
After tossing and turning, she finally got up and sat on the edge of the bed, unconsciously catching a glimpse of herself in the mirror.
Looking at the waterfall-like blond hair, a bold idea suddenly appeared in Ais's mind.
Since she can live as Ace, why can't she continue to take her place this time?
After all, they look exactly the same, and sometimes even the servants at home will get them wrong. Her Highness Celia will definitely not be able to tell them apart!
And if she hadn’t left early that day, maybe Celia would have fallen in love with her!
Yes, it was Miriel who took away the marriage that originally belonged to her!
Even if Celia had a relationship with Lily, even if he was involved in scandals, he was still the noble Crown Prince.
As long as she becomes the Crown Princess, or even the Queen, how can a mere Miriam be taken seriously by her?
She had to think of a way to prevent Miriel from participating in the masquerade held at Brant Palace next week.
After thinking about this, Aisi was very excited and started to choose a dress that night.
In order for things to go more naturally and smoothly, she specially took a few pieces of jewelry to her mother's room, saying that she was going to give them to Miriel as accessories for her to attend the ball.
Mei Lin rarely showed a nice face to her, and she picked out jewelry with her.
In order to get closer to her mother, Ais simply struck while the iron was hot and lamented the crimes committed by Janice and her daughter.
"Let me tell you, Aunt Janice really doesn't care about the reputation of the Rhodes family at all."
"She has shot herself in the foot. This way, no one can threaten your position, mother."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said the second half of the sentence, Mei Lin's face suddenly turned cold.
She slammed the jewelry box in front of her shut, her voice serious:
"Ace, when did I tell you that Janice's existence threatens my status?"
Aisi's face froze and she looked at her mother uneasily.
"It's difficult, isn't it? You and Aunt Janice have always been together"
Meilin's face looked ugly.
She had no idea that the daughter she was the proudest of after decades of raising her would actually think of herself as such a profit-obsessed person full of intrigues.
Or is it that Aisi’s heart is already full of these things?
For a moment, Meilin thought of the successful smile she showed on the day of Lily and Celia's incident, and immediately gritted her teeth and said:
"Tell the truth, how much do you know about Janis and Lily's affairs? How much are you involved in them?"
