Chapter 348 Open Your Mind

The maid hesitated. “Then what should be done?”

Margaret let out a tired sigh. “What else can be done? Do you expect me to go to her estate and teach her how to behave? I’ve said everything that needed to be said. If she refuses to learn, then her fate is her own doing.”

She rubbed her temples before lifting her head slightly her eyes flashing with a cold glint. “But if she really does get sent back in disgrace, the Felton family won’t have an easy time either.”

“Don’t worry,” the maid reassured her. “The Langley family wouldn’t dare.”

Margaret gave a cold smile. “The Langley family might not dare–but the Felton family is another matter.”

The maid poured her some coffee and offered a few words of comfort. The matter was left to rest for now.

Meanwhile, word of the commotion had already reached Ashley. She listened with a thoughtful expression. “Arthur… I truly want to meet him.”

Back at the Valen estate, despite the household’s turmoil, the newlyweds remained blissfully unbothered.

Both being warriors, Oliver and Isolde found the barracks to be the most natural place for them. After visiting the injured Zloimond soldiers, they distributed wedding sweets and even used Isolde’s private funds to arrange a special meal for the troops. Only after a hearty feast did they return home.

By the time they reached the estate, night had already fallen.

Since they had informed the household they wouldn’t be dining at home, no one had waited for them.

As soon as they stepped into Ningser Pavilion, one of Heidi’s maids arrived. “Lady Isolde, Lady Heidi requests your presence.”

Isolde nodded. “Understood. Tell her I need to freshen up first–I’ll come after I bathe.”

“Yes, my lady.” The maid bowed and departed.

Esme personally poured a cup of coffee and said, “I wonder what Lady Heidi wants.”

Isolde handed the coffee to Oliver first. He lifted the cup and brought it to her lips. She took a few quick sips before pushing it toward him. “Your turn.”

Then, she turned to Esme. “It’s probably about her misunderstanding me earlier.”
