"That's it. I can't go back to the imperial capital with you for the time being. Wendy is recuperating in the south region right now.
I'm going there to pick her up and take her back to the imperial capital. Please go ahead and proceed to the capital without me
so you can have time to prepare. As soon as we arrive in the imperial capital, we'll come to you for the treatment," Shawn said
while he stood up, preparing right then to go out.
"There is no need to hurry—"
"Wendy doesn't have much time left, so if you said that there's a chance that we can extend her life, I don't think I can wait.
Thank you, Your Highness," Shawn said to Harper with a gentle smile.
After that, he jumped off the carriage, mounted his horse, and left the envoy team with his deputy general in a few heartbeats.
They headed for the south as fast as they could. Harper lifted the curtain and looked at the direction that they went to. With
gentle eyes, she watched Shawn's receding figure until she couldn't see him anymore. "Darling, it seems like Marquis Shawn is
getting more and more decisive," she said.
"He's always been decisive. You just didn't know it until now," Matthew said while he put down the curtain. What Shawn said was
true. There wasn't much time left for Wendy. If she could maintain a calm and peaceful state of mind, she could certainly live a
few more years. Unfortunately, it seemed like everybody in the Shen Clan had already given up on her. They even sent her to
the south to recuperate in hopes that she could live for a few more years in there.
"Why do I always feel like you know some secrets that you don't tell me? Do you want this Wendy to be a member of your

mansion?" Harper asked with a smile.
"Why not? After all, none of my personal guards are married yet. Speaking of which, when are you going to let Nina get married
to Barry? This boy has been eagerly waiting for so long. He's too shy to ask you about it. As the hostess of my mansion, you

his wish," Matthew plainly said. There was a twinkle in Harper's eyes. "When we go back this time, I'm going to let Nina marry him. Tell that man to prepare the betrothal presents first. If what he arranges doesn't satisfy me, I won't let Nina marry him that easily." "Barry, did you

why don't you laugh real loud? Why are you restraining yourself? We won't mock you." Barry smiled at that. However, it was hard to tell if he was really smiling because the smile on his face was so faint. But Jack was well aware that Barry was very happy. Many people knew that Barry had fallen in love with Nina, who was attentive and considerate. However, since Matthew and Harper had never expressed their opinion about their relationship,

"Is Jack interested in anyone?" Harper asked all of a sudden. Upon hearing that, Jack instantly straightened his back and froze
on the spot. After a while, he giggled and said,
"Your Highness, I am not interested in any girl at the moment. Once I fall in love with someone, I'll tell you right away and marry
her as soon as possible. You can be sure that I won't be as indifferent as Barry who's like a piece of wood. If I act too late and
the girl I love is taken away by someone else, the only thing I can do is to regret," Jack dutifully exclaimed.
"You're so frivolous. You never take anything seriously. How can any girl like you? Girls will only think that you're too funny and
playful," Fred chimed in.

that Anabel once told Angelica to stay away from you in a very disgusted tone," Fred responded indifferently. Jack was instantly annoyed at that. "No way! Angelica is actually infatuated with me. Nothing but some sweet words can win her heart. She will fall so madly in love with me.
