Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 135: Annie: "It was really hard last night." (7K)

Annie approached Li En curiously, and Li En showed the treasure map given by the Eye of Doom to his most trusted maid.

"what is this?"

"Isn't it obvious? A treasure."

"Your fiancée Catherine is the youngest wealthy woman in the Holy Empire. Do you still need treasure?"

There was a flash of contempt for the Phoenix Man in Anne's eyes, as if Li En wanted to marry Catherine just because of her money and status.

"Oh, Anne, you are full of misunderstandings about your master. How could I choose Catherine just because of such superficial things as money and status?"

Li En stuffed the treasure map into Annie's maid uniform and said, "Keep it safe for me. Once things here are properly resolved, we'll go to the North."

Anne looked at Li En suspiciously, "Did Nancy Stuart give this to you?"

"Well, it is."

Li En couldn't possibly say that this was a gift from the Evil God, right?

And this time, the sacrifice in the dream was made possible thanks to the help of Nancy Stuart.

Although I compensated her afterwards, I obviously benefited more.

Overall, this is a mutually beneficial action.

He and Nancy Stuart were both very satisfied.

Anne had a blank expression on her face, and she was once again certain of her inner thoughts.

Li En has a unique obsession with money. It is this obsession that makes him accept not only Catherine, whose family owns a mine, but also Nancy Stuart, the princess of a fallen country.

She has to train hard and also work hard to make money. One day, she will spend the gold coins on Li En and ask him to sleep with her.

Well, there is absolutely no personal sentiment involved.

Anne had already developed another dream besides being a tailor, which was to become the leading businesswoman in the empire.

Thinking of this, Annie said indifferently,
"It was really hard last night."

"It's a bit tiring, so I need a good breakfast and clean water. I want to take a bath."

"hehe."

Annie sneered, and Li En's words once again confirmed her thoughts.

Li En raised his eyebrows slightly, realizing that his rebellious maid really needed discipline and even liked to sneer like the Eye of Doom.

Anne put down her breakfast tray and turned to leave.

"Annie, where are you going?"

"Prepare hot water for you."

When Li En finished breakfast and walked into the steamy bathroom, he found that the bathtub was indeed full of water.

Water temperature exceeds 80 degrees.

Although Li En has thick skin and strong muscles, he doesn't like to get into the soup pot.

"Anne, next time I write to your sister, I will ask her to take you back as soon as possible and retrain you on how to be a dedicated maid."

Li En complained, took off his clothes, and without using the bathtub, he simply rinsed his body with water, put on clean clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.

Li En walked out of the bedroom in the manor and was hurriedly found by Foreign Minister Alex Poole.

"Lord Li En, Sting Little is dead."

"What? Who?"

Lee En asked in mock surprise.

"Sting Lit, Rose Territory's Minister of War, Earl Lit, Lady Mary's confidant. As far as I know, he is a five-star honor knight."

Alex Poole patiently explained Sting Little's identity to Lee En.

Li En's face still maintained an actor-level surprise, and he shouted exaggeratedly so that all the servants in the manor could hear it.

"What? Lord Earl Leete is dead? What on earth is going on?"

The attention of the maids and servants in the manor was attracted by Lee En. They were all shocked by the news of Sting Little's death.

In Yusofa, who would dare to lay hands on Sting Little? Wouldn't that be a challenge to Mary's authority?

"In the morning, his maid found him dead. The two maids who served him last night have been imprisoned. No one knows the true cause of his death, but he is indeed dead."

Alex Poole frowned and whispered.

"Then why did you get the news so quickly?"

Li En did not doubt Alex Poole's loyalty to him, he was just reminding Alex Poole.

"I think Lady Mary has already begun to suspect us, so she deliberately sent someone to reveal the clues to me, and through me, to observe your reaction."

Alex Poole said clearly that although he knew this was a test from Mary, he still had to pass the message to Li En, otherwise it would seem abnormal.

Mary might even think that he had known about this for a long time and that Li En must be involved. In order to avoid such a situation, he must tell Li En this important news as soon as possible.

"You came to me as soon as you got the news. You probably suspected that I was involved, right?"

Lee En asked.

Alex Poole nodded. "Yes, sir. I'm worried that you might be upset with Sting Little because he molested your mistress yesterday, and that you might be doing something irrational."

This is the peculiarity of this world. Even though there is no Internet or big data, things that happen to aristocrats like Li En can spread quickly within the circle without even holding a press conference.

The news of Sting Leet molesting Nancy Stuart yesterday has spread. The cadres of Rose Territory and Green Shade Territory, as well as the Yusofa nobles who defected to Rose Territory, are all aware of it.

"According to you, I should protect him 24 hours a day to prevent him from getting hurt, so as to reduce my suspicion."

Li En said slightly speechlessly.

His acting skills conquered Alex Poole and the servants who were secretly watching him.

Alex Poole felt relieved because he thought Li En had nothing to do with the matter.

"It's good that you didn't do it, otherwise our situation would be very dangerous. I don't want Sting Little's death to become the fuse of a war. This will make us lose the opportunity to pursue justice and end up in jail."

The corner of Li En's eye swept over the original servants of the manor. He did not screen these people. Although there were no careless people among them, Mary's spies were not only careless people. Those small people driven by interests and most of the Yuso people who were still alive were Mary's spies.

They were kept here so that they could tell Mary about their situation.

Since Alex believes in himself, these servants will definitely think that there is nothing wrong with them.

What's more, they witnessed him and Nancy staying in the same room together for an entire night.

"I was a little angry yesterday, but it had nothing to do with Sting Little. I was angry because my mistress seduced other men behind my back. I couldn't tolerate that. I punished her last night, and during this period of time, I won't allow her to leave me even a step. She must be wherever I am."

Li En acted like a man with a strong possessiveness. He thought there was nothing wrong with this statement even if it was presented to Mary.

"Alex, what else do you want?"

"Sir, this is a letter from Blue Moon Territory. It also arrived this morning."

Alex Poole carefully took the letter out of his arms and handed it to Li En.

Li En nodded slightly, took the letter and opened it. After a moment, his brows gradually frowned.

He then angrily tore up the letter.

"That woman, Catherine, actually wanted to break off my engagement because of Nancy. She even drove out all the garrisons in Green Shade Territory and replaced them with her newly formed army! What a self-righteous woman! Does she think she can hold on to Blue Moon Territory without me? She's so foolish! I'll let her know that without me, she's nothing. What can a last remaining orphan of the Jackson family do?"

It was the first time for the servants and maids in Blueberry Manor to see Li En angry.

Although he usually looks unruly, he has a gentle personality and can greet even the lowest servant with a smile. However, today he is like an angry wolf, and his eyes seem to tear everything apart.

The temperature in the air seemed to drop by several degrees. An invisible pressure made it hard for them to breathe, and they felt a trembling deep in their souls.

It's the innate fear that the lower class has of the higher class.

It's no wonder they were afraid. Li En was too devoted in his performance, and his anger easily triggered some of the evil god's personality, making those around him feel like they were on the edge of an abyss.

Even Alex Poole felt his legs tremble and he wanted to kneel down.

He felt that Li En was really angry.

Although he had not read the contents of the letter, Alex Poole could understand Catherine's anger.

After all, he had just gotten engaged and was already rumored to have an affair with another woman. No noble lady would tolerate this. What's more, Li En had more than one mistress in Yusofa. He absurdly bought the indentures of all the pastry shop girls and made them become maids in Blueberry Manor, serving him alone.

Mary would definitely not block this information, and would even be happy to pass it back to Blue Moon Territory to drive Catherine crazy.

Alex Poole had also tried to persuade Li En before, but his advice was not adopted.

He guessed that Li En must have his own ideas. Now it seems that Li En may have simply inherited the tradition of the Moria family and was lustful.

Since Li En did not tell anyone about his plan, not even Catherine, his cooperation with Catherine was purely tacit. Catherine was an extremely smart woman, and she trusted Li En 100%, so every step he made was targeted, and he cooperated and responded.

Therefore, the whole thing was probably known to only Li En and Catherine. This was a trap set for Mary.

This also resulted in the Green Shade Leader's trusted cadres, such as Alex Poole, being unable to see the full picture of the matter.

But they are loyal and will support whatever decision Li En makes, even if his private life is chaotic and his character is not so good.

"Lord Li En, Lady Catherine must have been blinded by anger. Do we need to send someone back to explain? Your engagement to her is a marriage that is highly valued by the Moriah family."

Alex Poole said with some concern.

"No need. From the beginning, I was reluctantly marrying that woman for the Blue Moon Mine. Since she broke her promise and wanted to cancel the engagement, there's no need for me to save face for her. Let's go see Lord Mary now. I want to discuss attacking the Blue Moon Territory together."

Li En turned around and looked at the servant closest to him.

"Call Miss Nancy up."

"Okay, Master Li En."

The servant immediately went to Nancy Stuart's room to look for her.

A moment later, Li En brought Nancy Stuart, Anne, and his trusted minister Alex Poole into the Black Rose Castle.

In the Black Rose Castle, Mary had just finished her breakfast served by her maid.

She listened to the servant's report, and told her everything that had happened in Blueberry Manor not long ago, in detail.

Mary raised her brows slightly and asked the chief knight Yasin Matic beside her.

"Teacher, what do you think?"

"Although it seems that Sting Little's death has nothing to do with Lee En Moriah, Lee En Moriah is too cunning and cannot be easily trusted."

Chief Knight Yasin Matic has no good feelings towards Li En, especially after he was tricked by him last time.

"Indeed, this is a dangerous and cunning man. Things are getting interesting, aren't they?"

A smile played on Mary's lips; she loved a challenge.

To her, Li En was a fresh prey, which aroused her infinite interest.

"Mrs. Mary, Mr. Li En requests an audience."

The servant who came hurriedly knelt down and said.

Mary nodded. "Let him in."

Li En held Nancy Stuart's hand, and with Alex Poole, whose combat power was only 5, by his side, the three of them entered Mary's palace. Mary, who was sitting at the head of the table, rested her chin on one hand and noticed that Nancy Stuart's walking posture was not quite right.

This proved what the servant said, that Nancy Stuart was indeed picked by Li En last night and was tortured all night long.

Sting Little died last night, which theoretically eliminates Nancy Stuart and Lee Enn Moriah as suspects.

99% of people who see such evidence will think that they are innocent, because it is impossible for them to do such things and kill people at the same time, right?

But Mary is one of the 1% who trusts her intuition more than evidence.

Nancy Stuart looked rosy-faced, and her eyes were filled with the charm of a young woman, like a fully bloomed rose. Even women who saw her would have the illusion of a little heartbeat.

And Lee En Moriah also seems to look more manly.

Mary sensed the subtle aura of superiority from him.

She had only smelled that scent on her father, who had betrayed the God of Tiger.

This made Mary even more curious about Li En's secret.

"Mrs. Mary."

The three of them greeted Mary separately.

Mary gave Li En a seat, looked into his eyes with a smile, and asked,
"Who has upset our new imperial noble?"

"Lady Mary, Catherine has betrayed me and wants to break off our engagement. She has also driven my army out of the Blue Moon Territory. I cannot tolerate this. This will make me a laughing stock for the entire Moria family."

Li En said indignantly, "She must have been seduced by Val Simmons. That man showed extraordinary enthusiasm for her at the engagement party."

Everyone present knew that Catherine wanted to break up with Nancy Stuart because Nancy Stuart became Lee En's mistress. Only Lee En did not mention his own fault and put the blame on the Simmons family.

The only purpose of doing this is to make his performance more realistic. A scumbag will never admit that he is a scumbag and will only think that there is something wrong with others.

"Oh? Val Simmons? He formed an alliance with Katherine?"

Mary raised her brows slightly.

"I'm not sure, but we'd better not let this happen. Before Catherine announces her engagement to Val Simmons, it's a good opportunity for us to attack Blue Moon Territory. If we wait until their alliance is formed, it will increase the difficulty of this matter."

Li En said bluntly.

"Attack Blue Moon Territory? Why would I attack Blue Moon Territory? Blue Moon Territory and I are close relatives by marriage. My husband, Lor, is still in Blue Moon Territory."

Mary looked at Li En in confusion, as if two movie stars were competing in acting, expressing each other's emotions fully.

"Oh, don't mention that Lor Jackson. I saved him from the poison for Catherine, but what have I got now? I have to take back the Blue Moon Mine that was promised to me. I will never forgive that ungrateful Catherine. I will make her kneel at my feet and beg for forgiveness, begging me to spare her humble life."

Li En fully expressed the distorted inner world of a scumbag after being dumped.

If Nancy Stuart hadn't known his plans, she would probably have believed that he was really going to abandon Catherine for her.

Foreign Minister Alex Poole just frowned the whole time. He couldn't persuade Li En at this time, but he always felt that the relationship between Catherine and Li En would not reach this point.

"This is a matter between you and Catherine. What does it have to do with me and Lor?"

Mary rubbed her brows. "Do you need me to mediate and ease the relationship between you and Catherine? After all, we are family after all."

“Oh, Lady Mary, you are so generous to the Jackson family, but do you know what they did to you?”

Lee En suddenly looked at Mary with sympathy.

"What did they do to me?"

Mary couldn't help but be curious, what could they do to her?
“They slandered you behind your back, thinking you were infertile after marrying three men and not having a child.

Every one of your husbands died a violent death because you are unlucky.

Lol Jackson even spread rumors, saying that you have been torturing him, causing his sexual orientation to change, and now he doesn't like women at all, but only likes plants.

Oh, these rumors are enough to bring a noble lady down to earth. From now on, no noble will dare to marry you.

Isn’t what they did excessive?
You are so kind as to remember the kindness of Luol Jackson, who is not worthy of being your husband!"

What Li En said changed the expressions of everyone present.

Mary's chief knight, Yasin Matic, clenched the knight's sword in his hand, as if ready to draw it out at any time, to give Li Enlai a blow and shut his unbridled mouth.

At the same time, the Cavaliers were also angry about these rumors and their emotions were aroused.

Although Mary had killed both of her previous husbands, it was absolutely intolerable to say that she was infertile and unlucky.

She just uses any means to achieve her goals and is a true superior.

But reason restrained his actions, as he had already suffered losses at the hands of Li En.

A wise man never falls in the same place twice.

Therefore, Yasin Matic just glared at Li En with a bad look.

Alex Poole's shirt was soaked with sweat. His Adam's apple rolled and he kept swallowing, worried that his lord's words would completely anger Mary.

Indeed, these rumors were enough to kill any noble lady, but except for Mary, who possessed both power and strength, such words were enough to make any normal woman angry.

Nancy Stuart also looked surprised.

Everyone's eyes were finally focused on Mary's calm and pretty face, wanting to see her next attitude.

Only Li En continued to curse the Jackson family for more than ten minutes, until Mary showed a distressed expression.
"It sounds like the Jackson family is really hateful."

"Yes, the Jackson family needs to compensate you for your reputation and also give an explanation to me. We must punish Blue Moon Territory."

Li En said smoothly.

Mary raised her eyes slightly, "What's the punishment?"

Mary has been very good to Li En during this period. Not only did she give the most beautiful woman around her to be his mistress, she also gave him half of Yusof's territory that he should not have, and treated him to delicious food and drink. Basically, no matter what he wanted, she satisfied it.

Mary now wants to see her own results, and she asks Li En to ask her to form an alliance with him.

That was her plan.

Because the letter from Catherine of Blue Moon was actually forged by Mary.

As for the sudden death of War Minister Sting Little, Mary had already expected it. When Sting Little disregarded his status and openly teased Nancy Stuart in Black Rose Castle, he had already fallen into his own trap.

Nancy Stuart actually played a greater role in Mary's life than Sting Little.

Sting Little's provocation of Nancy was a good way to test whether Lean Moriah really cared about his mistress.

It turns out that Nancy Stuart does hold a very high position in Li En's mind.

Nancy Stuart's position in Lee En's heart also determines her position in Mary's heart.

Mary thought that sacrificing Sting Little in exchange for a pawn of the Moria family was a good deal.

In addition, Lee En did a perfect job in this matter and no clues could be found at all, which made Mary admire him even more and think that Sting Little's sacrifice was worth it.

Moreover, if it weren't for Sting Little, a guy whose head is full of pornographic garbage, Mary would have wanted to replace him long ago. This time, it was just right to replace him with a Minister of War.

As for Li En, could he not see that the letter was forged?
In fact, it is really not visible from the handwriting.

It's not clear from the content.

The only loophole was that Mary didn't know that there was a flaw in her intelligence network and that Nancy Stuart was Lee En's man.

And she had told Li En long ago that there was a talented person in the Rose Thorn who was good at imitating anyone's notes.

Li En decided to take advantage of the situation. Since Mary wanted to form an alliance, he would form an alliance with her.

After forming an alliance, they jointly sent troops to attack the Blue Moon Territory, and then turned against it and encircled it.

Mary's experience of being backstabbed by her allies also adds a tragic touch to her life.

The Eye of Doom will only be satisfied if she is miserable enough.

Li En had no sympathy for Mary.

Even though she is beautiful, has a good figure, is rich, has a high status, and is capable, she has always stood on the opposite side of him, and their values ​​and political stances are inconsistent.

Li En never showed mercy to his enemies.

High-end hunters often appear as prey, so what Li En has to do now is to pretend to be a prey and fall into the trap that Mary has set for a long time.

Li En finally said the words that Mary had been waiting for.
"Let's form an alliance. The Rose Army and the Green Shade Army will work together to crush the Blue Moon Territory."

A glimmer came into Mary's eyes.

She knew that all her efforts during this period had finally paid off at this moment.

But is her plan really just such a simple alliance?
"You're right. Lol Jackson is indeed not worthy of me, but my reputation is already so bad that no respectable noble would be willing to marry me. Since you want an alliance, why don't you marry me?"

This time it was Li En's turn to be stunned.

He didn't expect Mary to play such a big game.

After going around in circles, she still fell in love with me and wanted me to be her fourth husband.

But if I don't agree now, it will obviously mean I have no sincerity in forming an alliance.

After all, he had just shown great sympathy for Mary and was disgusted with Jackson's slander of Mary's reputation.

There is no way to retreat now.

He glanced hesitantly at Nancy Stuart, who was also stunned.

Nancy Stuart finally understood at this moment why Mary told her not to hope to become Li En's wife.

This woman has been planning this for a long time. She wants to kill several birds with one stone.

First, by taking advantage of the conflict between Li En and Catherine, forming an alliance with Li En to annex the Blue Moon Territory, and then annexing Li En's Green Shade Territory, a real confrontation with the Simmons family in the south can be formed.

And in this process, if Li En could continue to help her, she would not continue to change her husband.

Once it is discovered that Li En's usefulness has been exhausted, he can be abandoned.

"I know you like Nancy. She will marry you and become your first mistress in the truest sense. I will not interfere with your private life, nor will I hinder you from continuing to look for a beautiful woman. Believe me, no one is more suitable to be your wife than me, because I will not be jealous like those little women. I will respect you, including your preferences."

Mary waved her hand, and her chief knight and the servants around him retreated sensibly.

Nancy Stuart and Alex Poole could only evacuate temporarily with the crowd.

Only Mary and Li En were left in the hall.

Mary slowly walked to Li En's side. She slowly stretched out her hands, held Li En's face, and leaned forward with her bright red lips, whispering in Li En's ear,

"I've never really put my heart into my three previous marriages. So far, I'm still a virgin. If you need verification, now is the time. I won't let you down."

The voice was full of charm, which made Li En a little intoxicated.

In order to fit in with his image as a playboy and a womanizer, Li En could only reach out and hold Mary's slender waist.

"Lady Mary, your status is far superior to mine. Why did you choose me?"

"Because you are special enough, since I am willing to give Nancy to you, I will naturally not be stingy with your other requests."

Mary spoke softly, her breath was as fragrant as orchid, tickling Li En's ears.

Looking at the femme fatale in front of him, Li En decided to try his new ability again.

He lowered his head and bit Mary's bright red lips.
