But she quickly calmed down and defended herself with a white face: "Mother, no, I didn't. How could I possibly plot against Aunt Janis and Lily? Moreover, as you know, I have been sick recently.
At home, I didn’t go anywhere.”
"Really Ace? Do you really think I won't find any clues if I want to investigate?"
Meilin's words successfully made Aisi's heart drop to the bottom.
Yes, her mother has always been wise. If she can find clues about her, how can she not find out anything?
So she simply broke the jar, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up straight and looked at Mei Lin.
"So what if I caused this incident? But it was Aunt Janice who dealt with me first. I can't just watch her ruin my reputation and good deeds."
"Mother, don't you know that the person that Your Highness Celia likes is actually me!"
"Sometimes I really envy Lily, and I envy her for having a mother who thinks about her in every way, but what about you? What have you done for me? What have you ever cared about me?!"
"It's all thanks to you that I am what I am now!"
All the emotions that had been suppressed for more than ten years exploded at this moment, and Ais became completely hysterical.
With a "pop-" sound, Meilin's slap fell on her face.
"Ais, you really let me down." Merlin was so angry that her whole body trembled, "I have worked hard to train you to be a duke's daughter, teach you etiquette, and be a housekeeper. I have high hopes for you, but
I didn’t expect you to be so willing to fall for yourself.”
"Do you really think Celia is a good match? His Crown Princess is a pit of fire. As a mother, I will never allow you to destroy your future."
Mei Lin took a deep breath, put back all the disappointment, and became the rigid and serious mother of the family again.
She folded her hands neatly on her waist and kept her back straight.
"You can hate me if you want, but this Celia, don't be delusional. You have no problem sacrificing yourself, but you still bear the name of the Rhodes family. I won't let you risk the entire family.
.”
So in front of Ais, Merlin threw all the jewelry from the window sill, and also cut off the dress she had prepared for the ball.
After that, Mei Lin opened the door and ordered in a cold voice:
"From today onwards, Aisi is confined to her room and is not allowed to step out of the door. No one is allowed to visit her!"
Mei Lin's fierce aura made everyone extremely frightened. No one dared to have any opinions about this and could only lower their heads and remain quiet.
After returning to the room, Mei Lin's usually strong back suddenly collapsed, and the solemnity on her face was completely replaced by exhaustion, looking like she was at the end of her fight.
She dragged her heavy steps and leaned on the sofa, her whole body immersed in shadow.
At some point, a warm force suddenly appeared on her shoulders, but Meilin still didn't open her eyes, she just said wistfully:
"Goffy, there's no need to massage me. I want to be alone for a while. You can go out first."
"Mother, it's me." Bai Nuo's soft voice came into her ears.
Meilin turned her head suddenly and looked into a pair of exceptionally clear blue eyes.
In an instant, the fierce energy in her body returned again.
"What are you doing here? Praying for your sister?"
Bai Wu pursed her lips and shook her head.
"No, mother, I know my sister has done something wrong, and I'm here to apologize to you. It would be great if I could discover something wrong with her earlier and stop her."
Hearing this, Mei Lin's expression softened a lot.
She really had no reason to be angry with Miriel.
Ever since she returned to the manor, Myriel's performance had been beyond her expectations. Even if she was extremely harsh on her, she had no complaints.
Meilin sighed and sat back down.
She pressed her temples and spoke to Bai Wu in a rather helpless tone for the first time.
"Am I really too harsh on you? I never expected that Ais would become like this."
Bai Wu continued to hold her shoulders, her lowered eyes glowing with a well-behaved luster.
"How could it be? Mother, you are doing this for our own good. My sister may just be confused for a moment. After a while, she will understand your painstaking efforts, mother."
"The royal family has always been a fire pit. The Rhodes family has been treading on thin ice since its continuation. What's more, it is unknown whether Her Highness Celia is sincere. It is indeed too hasty for my sister to throw her life into it like this."
Mei Lin was surprised.
She didn't expect that Miriel would have such an opinion at such a young age.
But that's right, she has been smarter than her peers since she was a child, but she hasn't used it on the right path.
But after this period of time together, she was convinced that she had completely abandoned her previous bad habits.
Then she should try to accept her again, shouldn't she?
So Mei Lin reached out and patted the back of Bai Wu's hand, her voice was extremely gentle.
"You have worked hard these days, and you still have to attend Albudo's class, so go back to bed first."
"Okay, mother."
Bai Wu neatly lifted up her skirt and left the room.
When the door closed, her expression instantly became intriguing.
"Dear sister, enjoy your gradual disappearance."
She wanted Ais to taste bit by bit the feeling of having everything taken back by her again.
Late at night, not long after Froze lay down, three pigeons were clearly heard outside.
He suddenly opened his eyes, then walked to the window and opened it.
Not long after, a figure came over.
It's Dane.
There was still moon frost hanging on his body. As soon as he saw Froze, he quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"I have met His Highness Los."
"Dane, what's wrong so late?"
Dane pursed his lips, glanced at Froze, and finally sighed uncontrollably.
"There was a change in the plan, and I thought His Highness would take the initiative to contact me, but Dane waited for so many days and still didn't come, so I took the liberty to invite him. I also ask His Majesty's forgiveness."
Their original intention was to promote Celia and Lily.
After all, Lily is not an orthodox member of the Rhodes family. If she becomes the Crown Princess, not only will it not be of any help to Celia, but on the contrary, it is very likely that she will lose the support of a group of old nobles.
But Dane had no idea that things would turn out like this in the end.
It was as if a pair of invisible hands disrupted their established trajectory.
But Froze didn't show any worry, he just walked to the bed and sat down, then crossed his arms and looked at him.
"Sir Dane, there has been no change in the plan."
After all, two people who bullied Miriel have disappeared, right?
