“Okay,” Nangong Nuannuan nodded and simply said.

Adrian happily said to Duke Eton and Nangong Nuannuan, “Duke Eton, Miss Sunny, I specially came here today so I could apologize to you two at the first opportunity I could. Since you’ve already forgiven us, I won’t disturb you anymore. Duke Eton, Miss Sunny, I will take my leave now.”

“Charles, send Marquis Shipley out.”

“Yes.”

Duke Eton had only said one sentence from the beginning to the end of this entire exchange. He had not given Marquis Shipley any face. However, Adrian Shipley knew that he had already received the best answer possible, so he left with his eldest son, Adolf, and his youngest son, Kerlow.

“Dad, since they’ve forgiven us, why don’t you ask them to let Xin go?”

Kerlow only dared to ask that question after they walked out of the Duke’s residence.

Adrian glared fiercely at his son and asked, “Since you were there just now, why didn’t you mention it to them?”

Kerlow had a bitter look on his face.

“Me mentioning that… I’m nobody! How could I mention that to Miss Sunny? Even if I did, she wouldn’t listen to me.”

Adrian sneered. “Do you think she thinks much better of me? Will she let Fang Lanxin go just because I asked her to? Even if Fang Lanxin knew about Nangong Nuannuan, her support for her niece attacking the eldest daughter of the Nangong family in Camino has hurt our family. Therefore, whether Fang Lanxin is released or not depends on how the judge feels. If she is really found guilty, you’ll divorce her. All these years, our family treated her well, but she never cared about our glory. Even if nothing happens this time, something will definitely happen again in the future.”

“B-but she’s still… the mother of my three children!” Kerlow could not help but speak up for Fang Lanxin.

“You know that Miss Sunny is willing to let this matter go right now. If we ask for anything more from her, like to get Fang Lanxin out, if we anger Miss Sunny or Duke Eton, our Shipley family will lose even more. I’ve already used a winery to help you settle this matter. Don’t ask for more.”

Kerlow still wanted to say something, but Sunny’s fierce reputation was known everywhere. He knew that it was already very good that his father had been able to protect the Shipley family. He did not have much hope to get extra benefits.

If the court really decided that Fang Lanxin was guilty and wanted to sentence her, the Shipley family would not be able to stand by her anymore.

Su Fei was the hateful one. She had ruined a perfectly happy family.

Back in the Duke’s mansion, Nangong Nuannuan had a gentle look on her face. She did not look proud at all about what had just happened with the Marquis. The three Wu siblings were flabbergasted by what they saw.

Duke Eton had his usual good-natured and gentlemanly look on his face again. He did not look as cold and aloof as he had when Marquis Shipley was over just now.

“Pingting, do you plan to see Xu Yunyun?”

Wu Pingting’s eyes lit up. “Can I?”

“Of course you can. If you want to, I can contact Luntan police right now and give you a chance to see her.”

“Yeah. I wanna see her!”

Nangong Nuannuan nodded. “Do you want to see her now, or do you want to see the palace first?”

“She’s already been arrested, anyway. It doesn’t matter when we go see her. Let’s go to the palace to look around first!”

Knowing that Xu Yunyun had been arrested, Wu Pingting’s heart was completely at peace. She completely let go of this matter.
