Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The old king’s eldest son, third daughter, and fourth son had disappointed him when they were competing for the throne, so they did not receive the throne nor any money.

Apart from his riches, Duke Eton did not have much power. Therefore, the assassins targeted him because they were after his wealth.

However, Duke Eton would rather give his inheritance to Nangong Nuannuan and Selena, who were not related to him by blood, than give it to his brothers and sisters.

Since then, she and Selena had been targeted by assassins several times, but those who tried once never tried again. As time passed, fewer and fewer people still had to guts to try to assassinate them.

Duke Eton stood up and supported the woman walking down. He said to Nuannuan, “Sunny, let me introduce you two. Sunny, this is Emily. Emily, this is Sunny. This is Sunny’s fiance, Chi Yang, and these are her friends, Mr. Wu, Miss Sze, and Miss Wu.”

Emily was a little dissatisfied that Duke Eton had not introduced her as his girlfriend. However, she thought that since there was no other mistress in the Duke’s residence, Nangong Nuannuan would definitely ask who she was. Therefore, she warmly greeted Nuannuan’s fiance and friends, before fawning over Nangong Nuannuan alone. “Hello, Sunny! I’ve heard a lot from the Duke about his beautiful and capable daughter. Meeting you today has changed my standards of beauty forever! You’re really stunning!”

Then, Emily put her hands on her waist, making clear to everyone that she was pregnant.

Emily had indirectly told Nangong Nuannuan about her relationship with Duke Eton by mentioning how he had spoken about her at length. Who could have guessed that after Nangong Nuannuan heard Emily’s praise, she would just smile politely and say, “Thank you”?

She said nothing more.

Emily was a little confused. She did not understand why Nangong Nuannuan was not paying much attention to her when she was so warm and hospitable.

As for Duke Eton, he was a slave to his daughter. Seeing that Nangong Nuannuan did not pay much attention to Emily, his smile faded slightly. He chose to avoid the topic for now.

“Sunny, what happened with that attempted assassination on the road? Have you found out who was behind it?”

Even though Duke Eton did not know who wanted to kill Nangong Nuannuan, he knew that they were asking for trouble and deserved everything coming their way. After all, she was his daughter! Whoever went against his daughter was going up against the entire Duke’s mansion.

When Emily noticed that everyone was ignoring her and heard Duke Eton talking about the assassination, she opened her mouth wide in surprise and asked, “Oh my God, Sunny, you were almost assassinated?! When did that happen? Were you or your friends injured? Do you need me to get the family doctor to have a look at you?”

Nangong Nuannuan still had that calm and indifferent smile on her face. She said, “Thank you for your concern, but we’re all fine. There’s no need for then.”

Then, she looked at Duke Eton and immediately wiped off her fake smile. She sneered and said, “You know who your daughter is. How could I not have found the people behind this? I caught them on the spot and got their identities.”

“Who are they? Who hired them?” Duke Eton asked with a curious expression.

“They’re mercenaries from various low-level mercenary groups. The person who issued the killing order is Xu Yunyun.”

“You told me that you came back here to arrest Xu Yunyun.”
