At Earl Bratt's place, although Lyli was not played to death by Earl Bratt as rumored, the servants there gave her a hard time. They knew that Count Bratt was disgusted with her, which made it even more outrageous. Treat her like a fly. Sometimes they even gathered to beat her. It is worth mentioning that they only beat in places where clothes can hide, not on the face or anywhere exposed. This leaves Lyli with no means of indictment. And she never dared to accuse, she realized that she was disgusted by Count Bratt, perhaps even beaten to death she would not dare say a word to Earl Bratt.
Lyli looked at Emily, her eyes filled with distaste but quickly hid them. She softly said: "Hey, are you still alive?"
Emily did not answer Lyli. Lyli was secretly angry in her heart. It's true that everyone will change, it's only been a month and Emily seems to have improved a lot. But this also did not affect Lyli's story: "Emily, I'm sorry. I already know my mistake. Since going back to Earl Bratt's place, everything has been terrible. utterly wicked."
Emily heard Lyli say that and whispered, Lyli was just such a cruel person before. Now she's just getting back what she did. However, she couldn't stay silent forever. Even though she didn't like Lyli like she used to, it didn't matter if she said a word or two now. Earl Andrew had taught her. We can't always show our distaste and disdain. Sometimes a smile must always be on our lips.
Emily looked at Lyli, softly said: "Then they are really cruel."
Lyli nodded then suddenly lowered her head. She pursed her lips, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Emily, looking extremely pitiful and asked: "Emily, will you forgive me? I don't wish to go back to the way I was before, as long as you forgive me. I'm fine."
Emily looked at Lyli faintly, nodded slowly and replied, "Okay, I forgive you."
Lyli's appearance seemed to be overjoyed. She jumped up and hugged Lyli, cheerfully saying, "Emily, thank you. I know you've always been so kind."
Emily didn't say anything, silently pushed Lyli away, softly said: "Nothing."
Lyli also made her plan to follow Emily and retreat to the back.
She clutched a strand of hair in her hands, the malice in her eyes spilling out almost unhidden causing her to bow her head. Although there is no concrete evidence, but Emily is indeed very much like the grand duchess, and even has a bit like the grand duchess. The probability that Emily is the son of the grand duke is not small. And Lyli here is also very beautiful, the same age as Emily. She can replace Emily with parents.
Thinking that, Lyli clenched her fist even tighter, inside were a few strands of Emily's hair she had cut. The punishment at Earl Bratt's house didn't change her at all. She was just as cruel as ever, ready to stomp others under her heels to climb up.
After a while, it seemed that the conversation between Earl Bratt and the grand duke had ended. Earl Bratt and the grand duke came out of the house. Before leaving, Earl Bratt looked at Emily and smiled. Emily frowned slightly, turned her back to the grand duke and entered the house.
Now she wasn't the same as before. She is a close servant of Earl Andrew, the richest and most powerful earl in the Empire. That was enough for her to do small things without affecting the noble's self-esteem. As long as she doesn't offend the nobles, under Count Andrew's protection, she can do whatever she wants.
Emily followed the grand duke into the house, since there was nothing else, she went into the room to take care of the grand duchess. The day passed very calmly. The only thing worth mentioning was that Emily suddenly felt sorry for Count Andrew. This really shouldn't be. How could her status be worthy of the earl!
Emily put aside the tangled thoughts in her head. She went to the Grand Duchess's bed and found her sitting on the bed, her expression blank and bewildered, her whole body enveloped in a strange aura of pain.
Emily froze, thinking in her heart that perhaps the grand duchess had regained consciousness. She went to her side, bowed her head and said: "The Grand Duchess."
The Grand Duchess turned her head to look at her, her expression mournful, it was obvious that she remembered the events of the past two days.
Emily said softly, "May I take you out?"
The Grand Duchess looked at her for a long time, then got up and went out.
When he saw the grand duchess in the blink of an eye, the grand duke also realized that his wife had already recovered from her illness. He helped his wife sit down on the sofa, smiled and said, "Are you up? Do you want something to eat?"
The Grand Duchess shook her head and said nothing. The Grand Duke was a bit dejected, softly said: "Don't be too sad. I have already sent someone to find it, this time will definitely find Alice."
Alice is the name of their second daughter. For many years, the Grand Duke sent people to search, but there were still no clues. The Grand Duchess also knew that her husband was only saying this to comfort her, but she sighed and slowly stood up. She glanced at Emily then back at the grand duke, a kind of unspeakable longing in her eyes.
The Grand Duke also nodded. In fact, he had been thinking about this for a long time. Emily is really like them, it doesn't hurt to take a DNA test once. But Emily is Earl Andrew's close servant, the grand duke wants to find an opportunity to talk to Andrew. By then, it's not too late to take the test.
Thinking for a moment, the three of them went to the cafeteria. The Grand Duchess looked at Emily and said softly, "Emily, can you continue to sit here with me?"
Emily originally thought that the Grand Duchess had recovered from her illness so she would stand aside. Unexpectedly, the Grand Duchess wanted her to sit beside her. Two days ago it was due to the treatment of the Grand Duchess, today the Grand Duchess has recovered, she cannot sit at the same table anymore because it is not polite.
Emily felt awkward, she turned her gaze to the grand duke begging for help.
Seeing this, the Grand Duke smiled kindly and nodded.
Emily had to sit down next to the Grand Duchess. The Grand Duchess smiled kindly at her and then began serving her food, the same appearance as two days ago. If it weren't for the grand duchess not calling her 'daughter' anymore, Emily would have thought the grand duchess had not yet recovered from her illness.
This meal is extremely warm and harmonious. Emily still spent the day with the Grand Duchess. She took care of the grand duchess as if she had not yet recovered from her illness. Because the grand duchess looked really weak, as if she could continue to fall ill at any moment.
At the end of the day, Count Andrew arrived at the grand duke's mansion. Andrew did not say much, he directly said: "Three days have passed. I came to pick up Emily."
The Grand Duke smiled and said, "It's annoying, Mr. Earl. Actually, you can let us take Emily home as well."
Andrew didn't say a word. The Grand Duke looked at him and continued: "Emily and my lady are walking in the flower garden. Could the earl speak with me for a moment?"
Andrew assessed the grand duke's expression before slowly nodding.
They talk pretty quickly. Emily was walking in the garden with the Grand Duchess when Earl Andrew and the Grand Duke suddenly appeared. Emily saw Andrew and hurriedly bowed. Andrew looked at her, softly said: "Come, it's time to go back."
Hearing that, the Grand Duchess looked up at Emily. His eyes were very focused, as if he didn't want her to leave.
But this is not possible. Emily took a step towards Andrew, bowed to the Grand Duke and Duchess, then followed Andrew out of the mansion.
After they were out of sight, the Duchess took the Grand Duchess by the hand and hurriedly asked, "Have you talked to Earl Andrew?"
The Grand Duke nodded and replied, "I told you. Earl Andrew said he would find an opportunity to talk to Emily. I heard that Emily still has a mother. Emily loves her mother very much. For the moment, certainly not. agreed to take a DNA test."
The Grand Duchess nodded, sadly entering the house.
On the other side, Emily was in the car with Andrew. Andrew looked at her, softly asked: "Is taking care of the sick tired?"
Emily looked at Andrew then replied, "Not too tired, count. The Grand Duchess thinks I'm her daughter. She even loves me very much."
When Andrew heard that, his eyes darkened a bit. He looked at Emily and asked, "How do you feel about the grand duchess and the grand duchess?"
Emily didn't understand why Andrew suddenly asked such a question, but she still replied: "The two of them are quite good."
Andrew continued to ask, "What if it was a parent?"
Emily looked at Andrew puzzled, obviously not understanding why the earl asked such a question.
Andrew sighed, patting Emily's head with one hand, said, "Nothing."
Emily nodded, sitting quietly to one side. Nine in the front seat turned to look at Emily, her eyes a little complicated. Count Andrew and the Grand Duke had also heard the conversation. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for Emily.
