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

Chapter 160 Your circle is so chaotic
Catherine was the first to learn about Li En's imprisonment. Although she felt that the news came too suddenly, she ignored other details because she was too worried about Li En's safety. She was afraid that Li En was trying to please Mary on the surface, but in fact he was still helping her to be exposed.

Once imprisoned, the next step was to be sent to the guillotine or to be tortured and abused in prison.

No matter which situation it was, she was unwilling to accept it.

She convened a meeting that day and, for the first time, ignored the advice of the ministers and appointed Baron Peter Berg as the Minister of War of the Blue Moon Territory and made a plan to launch an attack on Yusofa.

Even Mina felt that Catherine's behavior was too impulsive, but Catherine had made up her mind to start the war in advance.

At nightfall, Catherine was still not sleepy. She stood in front of the map with Minister of War Peter Berg, discussing tactics.

Even Peter Berg didn't think that Catherine could successfully rescue Li En from Mary, but Catherine's strategy was to launch a surprise attack and win the opportunity to negotiate with Mary.

Mary was willing to pay whatever amount of money she needed to redeem Li En.

The discussion lasted until the early morning, and Catherine's mental state was obviously unable to sustain it. She asked Mina to pour her a cup of coffee.

Mina took the initiative and replaced the coffee with calming tea, which made Catherine fall asleep.

Peter Berg also took his leave, went back to organize his troops overnight, and launched a surprise attack on Yusofa.

Li En waited for a long time in his dream and finally saw Catherine.

Catherine saw the familiar Green Shade Lord's office and immediately realized that this was not a dream. Li En had convened another emergency meeting.

Catherine threw herself into Li En's arms and hugged him tightly.
"My dear, I'm terribly worried about you. I heard you were imprisoned by Mary. This is all my fault."

"My dear Catherine, I hope you haven't done anything stupid yet. This is actually Mary testing us. She has indeed begun to doubt me, but she doesn't want to lose a pawn from the Moriah family, so she is still testing us. If you panic after learning that I'm imprisoned, or even take the initiative to attack, she will know that our relationship is still intact and use me as a weakness to hold you hostage. Catherine, this is a trap."

Li En stroked Catherine's black hair and said, when he hugged Catherine, he always felt inexplicably at ease. Looking at her red eyes, Li En couldn't help but feel distressed.
"It's okay. I'm fine."

Catherine was slightly stunned. "I'm sorry, I should have realized that this was a trap, otherwise I wouldn't have received the news of your imprisonment immediately. I'm so stupid. I have already started to assemble the army and prepare to attack Yusofa overnight."

Seeing the genuine worry and guilt in Catherine's eyes, Li En felt warm in his heart.

He knew that it was his own safety that affected Catherine's judgment. She used to be such a smart person, but she would only lose her composure when something happened to the person she cared about most.

"It's okay. I'm here precisely because I'm worried about this situation. We still have time."

"Well, I will have someone stop the action immediately."

Although Catherine was reluctant to leave Li En's arms, there was still a long way to go and it was more important to deal with business now.

Catherine lost no time and told Li En about her recent situation.

"I've already asked Brother Lor, and he has no objection to the final plan. During this period, I will invite him to participate in more gatherings, hoping to leave more seeds of the Jackson family..."

When Li En heard Catherine say this, he immediately thought of what Lao Deng said, that only witches could give birth to children for him.

Catherine seemed to believe this, so she didn't plan to have children of her own.

This was actually very cruel to Catherine.

Li En knew that she lacked a sense of security and longed for the warmth of a family. She was a woman who really wanted to have her own child.

Being able to do this for yourself is something that most women cannot do.

"Catherine, there will be a solution to everything. You don't have to be so anxious. I believe the Jackson family will continue to thrive."

"Well... honey, have you got any news about Grace?"

Catherine suddenly changed the subject, but was actually still talking about the issue of the descendants of the Jackson family.

Grace is the one who is definitely pregnant with Lor's child, although the probability is only 60%.

"Actually, I live with Grace right now."

"?"

"Mary took her here to test my attitude and see if I would find a way to rescue Grace."

Li En said honestly.

"That's actually the case."

Catherine hesitated to speak. Although she really wanted Li En to rescue Grace, she knew that doing so now would definitely put Li En in danger. Not only would she fail to rescue Grace, but she would also lose Li En.

Li En held Catherine's little face and asked, "You want me to save her?"

Catherine shook her head slightly. "I think she'll be fine for now. Nothing and no one can compare to your safety. I would rather you return to me safely."

"In fact, she's living quite well here. The baby in her belly is her trump card. Grace is a smart woman. She's not as fragile as you think. She has her own plans."

Through a short time together, as well as Grace's entry introduction and the character profile provided by Nancy, Li En can be said to have completely understood Grace.

This is a typical aristocratic scheming woman. Unlike the simple and kind-hearted Mina, she approached the Jackson family with the intention of getting promoted.

She was not originally Lor's maid, but Lor's brother, Hill Jackson's maid. Hill Jackson was originally the next generation heir of the family, but Hill did not take Grace seriously. He did not think the maid had the opportunity to become a regular, and was even unwilling to give her the status of a mistress. He only treated her as a plaything, and even had multiple miscarriages for Hill. So she changed her target and set her sights on Lor.

At a masquerade ball, Grace attracted Lor with her amazing dancing skills, and the two quickly fell in love. The generous Hill gave Grace to Lor, and Grace has been with Lor ever since then. Lor never looked for any other woman and promised to marry Grace.

Unfortunately, the day before Grace was about to become Lor's bride, Mary announced her engagement to Lor, which shattered Grace's dream again. But she was unwilling to accept this, so she continued to stay with Lor as a maid.

When Lor came to Rose Territory with her, she realized how stupid she was. Mary didn't want Lor at all. She just treated Lor as a chess piece. As for herself, she was just a chess piece attached to the chess piece, an ant that could be crushed by Mary at any time, but it was too late to escape now.

In order to survive, Grace took the initiative to seduce the lustful Minister of War Sting Little. After their affair was discovered by Lor, Grace lied that Sting Little forced her.

In order to verify what she said, she even took away the other two maids who accompanied her in front of Lor.

One can imagine what happened to these two maids afterwards. They chose to commit suicide shortly after being sent back.

Lor also believed Grace, thinking that all this was caused by Sting Little, and treated Grace better from then on.

Grace continued to have an affair with Sting Little, hoping that Sting Little could help her escape from Rose Country.

Sting Little told her that her only hope of survival was to get pregnant with Lor's child as soon as possible.

So Grace tried to have sex with Lor and Sting Little almost every night until she finally got pregnant.

So, to be precise, there was a 50% chance that the child in her belly was Sting Little's. After Grace became pregnant, Lor held her in his arms, and Mary's attitude towards her also improved significantly.

She finally realized the importance of this child, so she resolutely made a choice between Marie and Lore. She chose Marie, betrayed Lore, and wrote a letter to Lore, which was full of criticism of Lore.

She believed that the Jackson family had let her down and that Lor had betrayed her. Not only did he fail to fulfill his promise to give her a perfect wedding, but he also subjected her to insults and abuse, throwing all the blame on Lor, while she was the poor innocent.

So, Sting Little's death was actually a good thing for Grace.

Grace thought no one would ever know about her past with Sting Little.

Of course, Li En couldn't tell Catherine all the gossip, but he could at least tell her his own judgment.

Grace didn't need them to worry at all.

If Li En guessed correctly, Grace's current plan was to hope that after her child was born safely, Mary would let her child become the lord of the Blue Moon Territory, and then she would become the lord mother with the most honorable status.

It doesn't matter even if the child becomes Mary's puppet. At least she can enjoy glory all her life, and with the protection of the southern overlord, she no longer has to worry.

It is basically impossible to get Grace to betray Mary.

Because this is Grace's own subjective choice. Unless you tell Grace that she has chosen a path that will inevitably lead to failure.

But it turns out that the path she took before was correct, even if it was not glorious enough.

If she had not seduced Lor, she would have died in the Blue Moon Territory with Hill, killed by the Disease Witch's out-of-control incident.

If she hadn't been having an affair with Sting Little, she wouldn't have been able to keep herself safe in Roseland, or even know that pregnancy was the only solution.

If she had not been pregnant, Mary would not have valued her and would not have blessed her.

At least that's what she thought, and she believed she would never choose the wrong side.

Catherine understood the implication of Li En's words, but she was still hesitant.

“Grace is Mina’s sister. If possible, I still hope to convince her to return to the Jackson Family. I will make it up to her.”

"She doesn't need your compensation. You can tell Mina that Grace is doing well now. As for her child, it will definitely be born smoothly. No one will harm her."

Li En said firmly.

Seeing Li En so confident, Catherine naturally chose to believe him.

"I'll tell Mina, but I have more important things to do right now."

Catherine plans to "go offline" and she wants to notify the army to suspend operations.

As soon as she turned around, she was pulled into Li En's arms. "Don't worry. In the dream, I can control time. Even if we spend the whole night, it will only take a few minutes."

"?"

Catherine looked at Li En in confusion.

Soon, Li En used practical actions to tell Catherine that the time in dreams is not equal to that in reality.

When Catherine woke up, she anxiously asked Mina the time and was told that only about ten minutes had passed since she fell asleep. Catherine instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

She saved the situation by personally visiting the residence of Secretary of War Peter Berg and telling him that the military action was canceled.

When Li En woke up, he looked at Nancy Stuart who was full of jealousy. It was obvious that she knew what Li En had done in his dream.

"Lord Li En, are you going to sleep?"

"Yes, Nancy, I'm a little sleepy. Good night. I hope you have a good dream tonight."

"If you do that, Lady Mary will doubt my ability."

Nancy blinked and looked at Li En aggrievedly.

Um... she can't be so bored as to eavesdrop on us every night, right?
It seems you are really hungry.

Li En glanced at Nancy Stuart and said, "You can do it yourself."

Nancy Stuart nodded obediently and climbed up.

After finishing.

Nancy Stuart fell asleep contentedly beside Lee En.

Li En was no longer sleepy. He heard murmuring sounds coming from the next room.

Listen carefully, that's Grace's voice.

what is she doing?
Wait, why does this sound so much like the one Nancy made just now?
Li En suspected that he had heard it wrong.

He got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. After making sure that no one was looking at him, he put on the cloak he got from the black-hearted businessman Vegeta and transformed himself into a maid beside Grace.

Fortunately, there is no surveillance in this era, and even a seven-star order knight like Mary cannot observe herself at all times.

Li En disguised himself as a maid and quietly entered Grace's room. He saw two overlapping figures in the bed curtains. One of them was definitely Grace, and the other was a knight responsible for protecting Grace.

Tsk tsk, I can only say that your circle is so messy.

Just as Li En satisfied his curiosity and was about to leave, the knight ended the fight and was pushed out by Grace.

The knight with his buttocks locked rolled on the ground for a while before getting up. He looked at the maid and smiled awkwardly, "Could you please give me my pants?"

Li En speechlessly kicked the pants on the ground to the knight, feeling that he had brought shame to the knight by being pushed off the bed by a woman.

The knight hurriedly put on his clothes and left. Li En wanted to follow him, but was dragged into the bed curtain by a hand.

Grace licked her lips, looked at her "maid" Moni with a charming look, and then pounced on her.

What the hell!

Li En’s three views were refreshed.
