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

Chapter 138 A Trampled Rose

Elena was invited to sit next to Nancy Stuart, dispelling rumors that she might have been involved in Sting Little's death.

In order to express his importance to his mistress, Li En even accompanied her in person.

So, he was the only man at the tea party.

Even the maids serving tea and water were all beautiful maids.

These nobles' mistresses came from Yusofa and Rose Territory.

Some of them already lived here, while others came to Yusofa with the Rose Army.

Even in Rose Territory, the identities of the spies were kept strictly confidential, and only a few key figures knew about them. Therefore, these noble ladies did not know the true identities of Elena and Nancy Stuart.

To them, Nancy Stuart was Mary's favored maid and now the mistress of the Empire's new noble, while Elena was the widow of the Rose Territory's Minister of War.

They envied Nancy Stuart very much, not only because Li En was a descendant of the Moria family and had a high status, but also because he was young and handsome and even looked like a teenager.

How the ladies look forward to a romantic encounter with such a handsome boy. In comparison, their lovers are either old gentlemen with wrinkles on their faces or middle-aged greasy men with big bellies. Apart from money and status, there is nothing that attracts them.

And they are all in their youth, an age with thriving hormones.

Li En discovered that there were even young girls here. Although they were dressed gorgeously, they could not hide their youthfulness.

At this moment, the girl was also stealing glances at Li En with her big blue eyes, and a blush was tinged on her fair face.

Young girls are more likely to fall in love with a boy like Li En than young women because of his unique charm.

Noticing Li En's gaze, the girl lowered her head shyly, pretending to chat with the lady next to her, her eyes avoiding him.

Compared to the beautiful Nancy Stuart, the girl did not feel that she had any advantages. In addition, her current identity was the mistress of a high-ranking official, who was an extremely stingy man. If he knew that she was flirting with a man at his mistress's tea party, he might beat her up when he got home.

"who is she?"

Li En leaned close to Nancy Stuart's ear and whispered something in a low voice, as if he was saying touching love words, which made the young women feel excited again.

Nancy Stuart smiled and replied,
"Melanie Pitt, a child from a commoner family, was chosen by Tim Henson three months ago and became his sixth mistress. Oh, Tim Henson is the oldest foreign affairs officer. You met him during the last negotiation."

Li En recalled the foreign affairs officer of Rose Territory, the old man named Tim Henson, who was at least fifty years old, but the girl in front of him was still a tender bud.

Although he felt a little regretful, Li En would not meddle in other people's affairs. In this world, there were too many things that were contrary to his cognition.

Li En believes that he is not yet capable of changing the world.

Moreover, there are no red items on the girl's body, and she is in good health. Perhaps if she becomes Tim Henson's mistress, it will bring a lot of wealth to her civilian family. If both parties are willing, there is no need for Li En to seek justice.

But if the girl asks for help, he might feel some sympathy.

The mistresses' tea party was all about topics that Li En was not interested in, but Li En was good at socializing and was able to chat with the wives, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Melanie Pitt always glanced at Li En secretly, but Li En's eyes never met hers again.

Nancy Stuart didn't mind their fiery gazes fixed on her male companion. While chatting with Mrs. Elena, she quietly completed the intelligence exchange, wrote the list on a handkerchief, and handed it to Mrs. Elena.

Mrs. Elena did not stay long. After getting the list, she said goodbye early.

The mistresses thought that Mrs. Elena had not yet recovered from her grief. After all, she was only Minister Sting Litt's mistress and could not share the inheritance like his wife because she had no children.

The maids in the manor kept changing the exquisite tea and wine so that the ladies could continue to chat.

Li En told some old jokes, which made the ladies laugh so hard that they were shaking with laughter. They were even more beautiful and charming than the maids in the manor.

"Lord Li En is truly humorous."

The lady sitting next to Li En covered half of her face with a feather folding fan. Her left hand, wearing a white lace glove, couldn't help but reach out to the root of Li En's left thigh and pinched it ambiguously.

The other ladies also echoed her sentiments, but unfortunately they were too far away to enjoy the benefits of this lady.

Li En didn't feel any pain, just an itch.

The wife stood up and left temporarily on the pretext of going to the bathroom. She turned around and silently cast a coquettish glance at Li En.

"Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom too. I might have drunk too much fruit wine. Yusofa's fruit wine is the best fruit wine I have ever tasted."

Li En stood up, kissed Nancy Stuart on the cheek, and said goodbye to the ladies.

He soon caught up with the lady who had given the hint.

This is a blonde beauty. Although she is not as stunning as Nancy Stuart, her appearance is better than many mistresses. Moreover, she is already in her thirties. The years have made her more mature and more feminine.

Besides, her hair color is somewhat similar to Li En's, which inexplicably gives Li En a sense of familiarity.

"Mrs. Britney, do you want to talk to me?"

Lee En asked politely.

"Oh, Master Li En, you actually remember my name."

Britney showed a charming smile, put her pair of lotus-white arms around Li En's neck, and her blue eyes were full of lust.

"Mrs. Britney, of course I know you. You are the mistress of Viscount Eusoufa, Phoenix Bello. Because of your beauty, you are also known as Eusoufa's first mistress. Every man in Eusoufa wants to have a kiss with you."

Li En said with a smile.

Viscount Phoenix Bello is the highest-ranking nobleman left in Yusofa. After Mary's last massacre, the local nobles could only hide their heads and become turtles. Even though Li En has been in Yusofa for so long, they dare not contact him, for fear of being discovered by Mary and being killed.

The purpose of this tea party was not simply for Nancy to send the list to the people related to the Rose Thorn. The more important purpose was to contact the mistresses of the noble Yusofa and through them, to grasp the dynamics of this group of nobles.

It also indirectly gives them a chance to join him.

"Oh? What about you? Can't a beauty like Nancy Stuart satisfy you, Lord Li En?"

Britney asked, biting her lips. Her red lips were as if stung by a bee, full and plump, revealing a charming sexiness, which was fundamentally different from that of a girl.

Any man who sees it would want to take a bite.

The maids passing by in the corridor were tactful enough not to disturb the two people's secret flirting.

Li En leaned close to Britney's ear and whispered, "Madam, tell me, what do you want from me?"

Brittany licked Li En's ear, "Can't this just be for you?"

"for me?"

Li En felt that he was now immune to this level of teasing, thanks to Nancy Stuart.

She does have the talent to become a succubus, which allows Li En to remain quite calm when facing other opposite sexes, even when facing a mature woman as charming and seductive as Britney.

Just like after eating food prepared by Michelin chefs, although you can eat home-cooked dishes, you will always feel that something is missing.

"Yes, actually I am very grateful to you for killing Sting Little. That man did something unforgivable to me on the first day I arrived in Yusofa. I will never forget it." Britney confided, her eyes slightly red.

Li En reached out his hand and wiped her tears. "My beautiful lady, I sympathize with your unfortunate experience. A beautiful rose like you is destined to become a sacrifice in the war, but I did not kill Sting Little."

"It's really not you who did it?"

"Of course. If I did it, how would I have earned Mrs. Elena's friendship? How would I have won the favor of Lady Mary?"

Li En asked back.

Britney felt that what Li En said made sense and verified her inner thoughts. She grabbed Li En's hand and placed it into the deep snow-white valley.

Li En felt a note in the narrow gap, but he withdrew his hand in time.

This is a letter for help from Viscount Phoenix Bello.

The Viscount hopes that Li En can take his family away from Yusofa. He is willing to go to Green Shade Territory and swear eternal allegiance.

For this, he was willing to give one-third of his fortune.

Ironically, the Viscount's letter did not mention Britney, who was willing to take the risk to seek help for him.

Li En put the note away and whispered in Britney's ear,

"Go back and tell Viscount Phoenix that it's not enough. I want two-thirds."

Britney was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt relieved.

This proves that Li En does have a way to get the Viscount to leave here.

This is good news for her.

"Lord Li En, can you take me with you? I'm willing to give everything for a chance to leave."

Britney pleaded, and she seemed to know that the Viscount had no intention of taking her with him.

Perhaps it was because of that incident that a rift arose between the Viscount and her.

She used to be the Viscount's pride, but now she has become his shame.

The Viscount could no longer face her.

Before contacting this lady, Li En had already obtained all the information about the ladies from Nancy Stuart, naturally including Britney.

Britney was originally born into a minor noble family and could have married a gentleman of equal status, but she fell in love with Viscount Phoenix Bello, who was 12 years older than her, and was willing to be the Viscount's mistress. Her father broke off relations with her for this. Because of Britney's beauty, Viscount Phoenix Bello never got close to other mistresses, and his relationship with his wife was also estranged. For a long time, they were a couple envied by the girls in Yusofa, and Viscount Phoenix Bello was also considered the most loyal viscount.

Until the governor of Yusofa, Chrisi, betrayed Mary, the angry Mary led her troops south and entered Yusofa, and her originally peaceful life was broken.

Viscount Phoenix Bello was furious at Mary's massacre and asked the noble knights to unite and fight back.

As a result, all the nobles who participated in the alliance were arrested and sent to the guillotine.

Viscount Phoenix Bello would have been guillotined as well.

But Britney saved Viscount Finis Bello on the condition that she be humiliated by Sting Little and his knights in front of the Viscount.

Viscount Phoenix Bello was saved, but he also lost his backbone.

He couldn't face Britney again.

The first mistress, who was once high and mighty and envied by all the Yusofa girls, has fallen like a trampled rose.

From then on, cadres of the Rose Army would sneak into her room from time to time. Although Viscount Phoenix Bello would still send people to protect her, the men who protected her had no respect for her and turned a blind eye to it.

Britney wanted to escape from here, Yusof was a nightmare to her.

Even though she was still the mistress of Viscount Phoenix Bello, she knew that as long as she continued to stay here, only the endless abyss would be waiting for her.

In Li En's opinion, this is a rare woman with feelings and righteousness. Although her view on love is a bit distorted, she has paid a sufficient price for it.

Moreover, there is a green entry above her head that says [Business Genius].

Li En felt that Green Shade Territory needed development and needed talents like Britney.

As to whether she would be allowed in for free, the answer was of course no.

"Mrs. Britney, you don't have to give up everything you have. You just need to give me 10000 gold for travel expenses. If you don't have it, ask Viscount Finis Bello for it. He needs to be rewarded for your hard work over the years. Break off with him."

In the aristocratic tradition of the Holy Empire, any noble who wanted to break up with his mistress had to pay a high breakup fee, which represented the virtue of the nobility.

Therefore, Britney can also use this opportunity to ask Viscount Phoenix Bello for a breakup fee of 10000 gold.

Li En did this because he didn't want Viscount Phoenix Bello to continue to hold Britney back.

What's the good of being in love? Since you are smart, just focus on your career.

Besides, your judgment of men is too poor.

Li En complained in his heart, staring at the beautiful young woman with blonde hair and blue eyes.

"I……"

Brittany hesitated.

"War will only destroy roses like you. Before you completely wither, make your choice. The door to Green Shade Territory is always open to you."

Li En gently stroked Britney's long golden hair, wiped away her tears, and straightened her clothes, making her look decent and beautiful. She had not been treated so gently for a long time.

Until Li En turned and left, Britney's eyes were still on the boy.

Lee En returned to Nancy Stuart. Unfortunately, except for Britney, the other mistresses did not seem to dare to pass on information to him.

This further proves that Li En has good vision and Britney is someone who can be used.

The tea party ended at dusk.

As the owners of the manor, Li En and Nancy Stuart bid farewell to all the ladies.

Britney also got on the carriage and drove away from Blueberry Manor.

"went well?"

Nancy Stuart looked at Lee En.

"It's not going well. I originally thought I could obtain all the nobles' property, but now it seems that some people are still choosing to wait and see."

"They must be really scared."
