1401 Present Time

Lin Qin had already taken full control of Duke North, so when he took her down, he hesitated, moved his mouth and was about to say something, but Zheng Chenyi cast him a sharp look, stopping Lin Qin from saying anything more.

He forced Madame Duke North out of the room.

He had been working at the mansion for years, but he was still, after all, a servant. Inside the mansion, he could only obey the master’s words. Duke North was in a very unsteady mood, and what Madame Duke North said was all things that happened in the past. The Duke hated to hear about this. Though he said nothing in the past, it did not necessarily mean that he approved of these thoughts. He had been holding the feelings inside his heart for a long time and they broke out today.

Duke North would only hate his mother more, if Madame went to find Lady Chaoyan like she used to.

!!

Madame should take a break to calm down.

It was still snowing outside.

Madame kept mumbling “foxy woman.”

When Lin Qin walked out, and pa.s.sed by Ms. Zhao who was outside. He said to her, “Mrs. Duke North, the Duke is asking for you.”

Having said that, he nodded and continued forward with Madame.

Ms. Zhao glanced at Madame Duke North and no longer felt so annoyed about her.

Looking at Ms. Zhao, Madame held close to her and said with strength. “Ms. Zhao, you have to talk with him, and you have to tell him not to be obsessed any more!”

Ms. Zhao was a bit confused as she saw her mother-in-law walking into the distance.

She could feel that everything had changed since Duke North returned from the border. She had not intended to change anything, but after today, everything would change at Duke North Mansion.

It was not easy to survive at Duke North Mansion, so everyone was very extreme inside.

They could control their temper, so they looked harmonious on the surface, but the Duke must have experienced something at the border, so he did not want to control himself and pretend any more. He was showing the real him.

Then… what about her? What was her role at the mansion?

She was at Duke North Mansion, but she was never accepted by Duke North Mansion.

Seeing Madame walking further and further away…

Ms. Zhao walked into the room quietly. She approached the man lying in bed. He was reading the book that he never allowed anyone else to touch.

She never gave the book a deeper thought, until this moment.

Duke North had lost a lot of weight and he had many wounds.

He had become pale because of the poison, and his eyes were sinking. He had not had a good rest and he was not in a good mood, so he looked extremely gloomy.

She had suspected that he drugged himself and ate the antidote later. He was not dying but it still hurt.

Her mother was right – she could have just married a small mansion to save some trouble, and her mother could still help her out when needed.

Duke North Mansion was in a very complicated situation right now.

She had been too young to think about any of this.

Zheng Chenyi moved his eyes to Ms. Zhao.
