Agnes immediately shifted her gaze; the only person she cared about was Ammons.
Mentioning Ammons and Nora's engagement now is also telling Ammons a fact.
Ammons's engagement partner is Nora, and the only person he will marry is Nora.
As for whether Ammons would want both sisters, Agnes didn't care. Letting Anna be a dowry maid was not a waste of her value, and she was willing to do so.
But this is also the ultimate bottom line. In Agnes' eyes, Anna can only be regarded as a mistress at most.
Anna also understood the meaning of Agnes' words, and her face turned a little paler, but she did not continue to hide behind Ammons. Instead, she looked directly at the lady whom she had been afraid of since she was a child.
She won't admit defeat!
Agnes frowned slightly but said nothing, because the threat posed by Anna was still not enough for her to really care.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but Ammons came out to smooth things over and continued his familiar conversation with Agnes.
Luo Landi, who was following the others and being ignored by everyone, now showed even more interest. It seemed that something very interesting would happen on this trip.
She knew that following Ammons was the right thing to do, but rather than following Ammons all the time, she couldn't help but want to explore the place.
A tiny magic circle took shape in Luo Landi's hands, and then disappeared in an instant. The little blue-haired girl still followed Anna obediently.
Chapter 180: The Confrontation between the Two Ladies
Under Agnes' arrangement, several people entered the castle. Agnes originally planned to take Ammons for a stroll in the castle and then prepare for the dinner, but her plan was ruined with the appearance of Wenger.
"mom!"
The moment she saw Wenger appear, Anna couldn't help herself any longer, but she didn't forget to bring Lolandi with her and rushed towards Wenger.
Wenger obviously had some sweat on his forehead when he rushed over, but when he saw his daughter, a bright smile instantly broke out on his face.
Lolandi was held by Anna and then they both fell into Wenger's arms and became a roujiamo.
The little blue-haired loli was sandwiched between a mature woman and a young girl, and her little face was squeezed to the point of being deformed.
Luo Lanti's eyes revealed resentment. Why did these two damn guys accumulate so much fat? They couldn't use it to store magic power.
Loranti looked at her flat surface and felt frustrated for the first time.
But it was only for a moment. After all, she could create a perfect body at will with magic.
Ammons on the side was smiling as he watched the touching scene of mother and daughter reuniting. Loranti, who was caught in the middle, was so happy.
Agnes, who was standing by, looked a little worse when Wenger appeared.
Seeing that the mother and daughter were busy reuniting over there, Agnes turned back and said to Ammons:
"Your Highness Ammons, since Anna rarely comes back, let's not disturb their reunion."
Agnes was ready to take Ammons away from here. After all, she only needed Ammons, and other people staying with Ammons would be a hindrance.
But Anna wouldn't let her take Ammons away directly.
Anna calmed down after the initial excitement. When Agnes wanted to take Ammons away, she almost subconsciously shouted:
"no!"
This time, Agnes's face was completely bad. The aura of a great noble and the pressure from the real ruler of the Lewis family pressed down on Anna without any concealment.
Anna was really rude this time. She could be said to be directly challenging Agnes's authority.
After she finished speaking, Anna realized that she had said something wrong, but it was too late now. Anna had no choice but to face Agnes.
"I'm sorry Madam, I said something wrong because I was anxious, but this time I came back with Brother Ammons."
Anna bravely faced Agnes's pressure, but the next moment Wenger stood up and protected his daughter behind him.
"Agnes, I apologize to you on behalf of my daughter for being so rude. However, since Ammons is a guest invited by my daughter, it should be okay for him to stay here for a while."
Wenger was not afraid of Agnes's pressure and didn't even react at all.
After all, Wenger used to live on the edge of a knife. Even though he has hidden his strength now, he is not someone that Agnes, the great magician, can defeat by just relying on her intimidation.
Agnes snorted coldly and withdrew her pressure. She turned to look at Ammons.
No matter how the two of them argued, where to go would ultimately depend on Ammons' own ideas, and she couldn't force her future son-in-law.
Ammons still had a gentle smile on his face, and he acted as a peacemaker between the two.
Ammons had a suggestion.
"I am here to visit with my sister Anna, so I should also go to see Mrs. Wenger. However, Mrs. Agnes welcomed me so warmly that I naturally couldn't refuse."
"I think since we're going to have some fun, why not come together and have some fun? We're all family, why should we be unhappy?"
Ammons made a suggestion that was not very good.
After all, there has been a long-standing grudge between the First Lady and the Second Lady, but the situation has remained calm because neither side has the intention of a direct outbreak.
But for both parties, eating at the same table was something that happened countless years ago, and even if they sat together, they just felt uncomfortable.
Both parties were not very satisfied with Ammons' proposal, but due to Ammons's status, they could not directly refuse it.
Ammons had anticipated this, but he had no intention of actually doing it.
"It seems that both of you still have some concerns. So how about this? I will stay at Mrs. Wenger's place tonight and visit Mrs. Agnes tomorrow."
Ammons once again made a suggestion, which was actually what he had been thinking.
However, this suggestion was still embarrassing for Agnes. After all, she had come to greet him personally, but now Wenger had intercepted her halfway.
So Ammons first proposed something that neither side could accept, and now he has proposed something that is barely acceptable at a slight loss.
If I refuse again at this time, it would mean I am really not giving face to Prince Ammons. I can't do it again.
Agnes thought for a moment and finally compromised.
"Well, then please, Wenger, entertain His Highness Ammons for me today."
After saying that, Agnes left directly. She didn't want to stay and waste time.
So the matter came to a temporary end, and Wenger breathed a sigh of relief.
She has been enduring in the Levis family for so many years. If her strength as a half-step saint is completely exposed because of today's conflict, her future life will be difficult.
But if it is for his daughter and Ammons, Wenger would rather expose this.
By then, even if the Lewis family can no longer stay, his daughter can still rely on Ammons, and she can get along well anywhere with her own strength.
"I'm sorry Ammons, I made you laugh as soon as you arrived."
Wenger smiled apologetically at Ammons. She could naturally see that Ammons was intentionally favoring their side.
But Wenger had little to offer in return.
Ammons has helped his daughter so much in the academy, and can even be considered as her adoptive parent. Wenger really doesn't know what he can do for Ammons.
Perhaps the only thing I can do is to be Ammons' mother for a moment, just like I did that day in the student union, to help him relax and relieve stress.
"It's okay, I don't mind. It's getting late, we should go prepare dinner."
"Well, you guys must be tired after walking so far. I will cook for you tonight."
Wenger smiled at Ammons, then led a few people to a remote courtyard where she and Anna lived.
As a Duchess, she cooks her own meals, which is the most degrading identity in the circle of aristocratic wives.
But Wenger doesn't care about that, as long as her daughter likes it then she will do it, and she doesn't attend those parties.
Ammons is also very much looking forward to Wenger's cooking skills. She looks like a gentle and kind lady, so there shouldn't be any problem with her cooking, right?
Chapter 181: Family Dinner with Different Agendas
Facts have proved that Ammons' worries were unnecessary. Wenger not only looks like a good wife and mother, but is also a good wife and mother who can do housework and cook.
"Ms. Wenger's cooking skills are no worse than those of the chefs in the palace."
As Ammons watched the dishes prepared by Wenger himself being served one by one, he couldn't help but express his sincere admiration.
It is hard to imagine that this is a meal that a Duchess could cook with such good looks, aroma and flavor.
In this circle of noble ladies, they usually do not do any housework, and cooking by themselves is extremely embarrassing for them.
Not to mention whether the food is delicious or not, just asking them to cook would make them helpless and they would just watch.
"Really? It's not that good~ Since you like it, try it quickly, Ammons."
The tiredness on Wenger's face instantly disappeared with Amons' praise. She actively picked up food for Amons. Compared with Anna, her biological daughter, Amons looked more like a real daughter.
Even Anna pouted in dissatisfaction.
The seat where mom is sitting should be mine, and now I should be the one picking up food for brother Ammons!
Anna was so jealous that she even felt jealous of her own mother. However, she felt a little more balanced after she saw that Loranty, like herself, could not reach Ammons because she was far away.
Mom, please come if you want, as long as she is not my love rival.
I will keep a close watch on this thieving cat, Luo Landi!
Anna was in no mood to eat. Her eyes were focused on Luo Luolandi the whole time, watching her every move.
But Lolandi was unexpectedly obedient along the way. Compared with her quirky personality, she even seemed a little dull and her reactions were half a beat slow, but Anna didn't notice this at all.
On this side, Wenger and Ammons were happily chatting and eating. After a while, Wenger remembered his daughter and the little guy she picked up.
"Anna, and little Luo Lan~you should eat quickly, is it not to your liking?"
Wenger noticed that his daughter and Loranti didn't seem to eat like that, and for a moment he began to worry whether his cooking skills had deteriorated. Ammons didn't say anything just to give him face.
But in fact, Anna was too busy staring at Loranti's ethics to eat, while Loranti ate his food in small bites, as slow as a snail, and it seemed that he didn't eat at all.
"No, no, no, that's not true. Mom's cooking is always delicious!"
Anna quickly shook her head and took several mouthfuls of rice. Lolandi also nodded in cooperation and took a few more mouthfuls faster.
The worry on Wenger's face finally faded away. She thought her skills had really deteriorated.
After all, since Anna left, Wenger has been alone in the castle and has hardly ever cooked for himself.
Duke Lewis focused all his energy on Agnes. Not to mention having dinner with her, even the chance to meet her was rare.
As a magician who is half a step away from becoming a saint, Wenger hardly needs to eat. She only needs to restore her spirit through meditation and absorb magic power instead of food as energy.
The courtyard, which was deserted in the past, is now lively again.
Wenger looked at the three children, two adults and one child, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
She liked Ammons very much, and there was no need to say much about Anna. The little girl that Ammons and Anna brought back also looked lovely, obedient and well-behaved.
In the past, Wenger also dreamed of living a happy life with a family of four, a couple, a pair of children, and a happy family.
But for the sake of power, the Duke of Lewis broke Wenger's heart time and time again, leaving her so broken that she could no longer tolerate happiness.
Now Wenger only regrets that he was blind in the past for falling in love with the power-hungry bastard Duke of Levis.
However, no matter how much he hated her, Wenger's hatred for Lewis would only be directed at himself and would not involve Anna.
Anna is a little sun in Wenger's dark world. It is because of Anna's birth that Wenger has been able to endure the oppressive life of the second Duke's wife.
To be honest, rather than being the second duke's wife here, Wenger would rather go to the capital with her daughter to rent a small courtyard, and then stay with her daughter and not let her suffer any grievances.
But now, with Ammons by his daughter's side, his daughter will definitely not be wronged.
Wenger looked at Ammons and then at his daughter. His broken heart seemed to be healed and filled with happiness again.
It’s a pity that I can only stay in this cold castle and can’t continue living with Ammons and Anna.
Thinking of this, Wenger's expression became even more lonely.
She didn't want to continue to compromise and stay in this castle.
Ammons, who was sitting next to Wenger, keenly captured the sudden change in Wenger's expression. Although Ammons didn't understand why, this was an opportunity.
The bigger the void in Wenger's heart, the greater the chances of Ammons' success.
Ammons has already started thinking about how to find some private time to have a good chat with Wenger.
Now that he is with Anna and Loranty, Wenger always treats himself as a child and does not express all his true thoughts.
