The villain daughter did all kinds of things

For example, could some younger members of the Melson branch believe that the head of the family was forced to be sidelined by his sister, and thus use a pretext like 'purging the court of corrupt officials' to cause trouble?

Similar situations have occurred before in the history of the Merson family, and we must learn from them and take them seriously.

If we consider the Merson family as a feudal dynasty, it means that the family could have an emperor who completely controls the power, but powerful ministers who want to secretly manipulate the court must be checked and balanced.

Emerald is still quite young. Even if you add up her age from her previous life, she is still less than a fraction of the age of some older pink-haired girls, so she is a bit slow in this regard.

However, it's never too late to realize the problem, and Emery has no intention of giving up easily.

She was a very controlling woman. Since she wanted to support Bobo to become the future head of the family, Bobo had to obey her every word—at least he couldn't oppose her.

I still need to find a way to compete for the position of the head of the household's wife.

Although Judy was still at a great disadvantage even after sneaking away, she hadn't completely lost, so Emery decided to plan her next move.

. . . . .

After discussing the marriage between Milaine and Bobo, the family's core members held their year-end meeting and discussed a few other things, but none of them were related to Emerald or that important.

Throughout this time, Emery remained obedient and transparent until the meeting ended.

After leaving the main castle, Amelie originally wanted to ask Milaine about the situation in Shangying Kingdom, but Milaine hurriedly went to conduct remote magical communication to tell Queen Amamiya Yuki of Shangying Kingdom that she could finally get married.

Amamiya Yuki was clearly very happy, and the two of them were exchanging mushy sweet nothings across the ocean. Emery waited nearby for a while but couldn't hold back any longer, so she left first.

Anyway, there's still about a month before we leave for Sakura Country, so there's no rush.

However, Milaine's actions reminded Ameliete, who, upon returning to her residence, quickly contacted the old witch, Granny Ya.

When Amelie asked the old lich for help in destroying the Poseidon, she had agreed to one condition.

In short, the old lich has a powerful demon friend on the east side of the White Sea. This friend has recently taken on a good apprentice who often boasts to the old lich... The old lich couldn't stand it, so he took Amelie to the east side of the White Sea to compare her with his old friend's apprentice.

The old lich had no objection to the family's arrangement to go to Shangying Kingdom a month later.

She and her demon friend had arranged to meet next spring, whether it was early spring or late spring didn't matter, since Emery still had a family mission to complete, they could go together.

After ending her communication with the old lich, Amelie had just left the secret room of her residence when she saw two little pink-haired girls coming over to play. They were chatting around Marcy, listening to Marcy tell them the story of Amelie's fierce battle against the giant fat woman.

"Sister!" x2

Compared to her older sister's personal maid, the two little pink-haired girls clearly preferred her, immediately sticking close to her upon seeing Emerald:

"I heard you went to a secret meeting with those old men this year, sister? Are those meetings very boring? Did you fall asleep, sister?"

"That's an important meeting that only core family members can attend! What do you take me for? How could I possibly fall asleep?"

Emery pinched each of the two little pink-haired girls' cheeks in an annoyed manner, then pretended to think for a moment before saying:

"The process of those old men reporting their work one by one was indeed boring, but they did discuss two quite interesting things afterward, one of which was even related to you, Bobo~~"

"What's interesting? What's interesting?"

Bobo immediately circled around Emerald out of curiosity, then tugged at Emerald's skirt and said in a coquettish, feigned voice:

Tell me, sister!

"Hmph, my foolish little brother~~"

Lulu rolled her eyes at Bobo from the side:

"That was the content of a secret meeting, how can you just blurt it out? You don't want your sister to get caught and spanked, do you?"

"I won't get hung up and spanked! I think Lulu's butt's itchy again, and you want to be hung up and whipped, right?"

Emerald grabbed Lulu with one hand, lifted her up, and slammed her against herself with enough force to suffocate her.

"Don't think I don't know! Anna is a teacher at your school now! You've been reprimanded by the school again for getting into trouble, haven't you? How could I have such a stupid sister like you! When I was in school, I never got caught doing anything wrong!"

"Huh? But that's not what Miss Judy said~~"

Popovich immediately expressed a different opinion from the side:

"Miss Judy said that she first met you, sister, when she, as a disciplinary committee member, caught you red-handed committing a serious violation of discipline."

"Yes, Judy is right. When I first met her, she did come to arrest me as a disciplinary committee member."

Emery didn't deny it, she just smiled, and at the same time, she released Lulu, who was almost unconscious, onto the ground, and flicked her head with her finger:

"But I immediately became friends with Judy. She didn't report me, and later she often helped me cover for me as a disciplinary committee member."

"Wow, you're really amazing, sister!"

Bobo's eyes immediately lit up with admiration, then he glanced at his twin sister with disdain.

"Unlike some nobody, who can't even handle a mere disciplinary committee member...nobody..."

"I think your stupid little brother wants another beating!"

Lulu didn't dare to be too fierce to Emery, but she had no qualms about beating up her younger brother, and immediately started playing around with Bobo.

Although Bobo is a boy and has some advantage in strength, he is just a researcher who follows the path of technical research and development, while Lulu is an outstanding student at the Lohid Magic Academy.

Of course, Lulu wouldn't use any offensive spells to beat up her younger brother, but secretly giving herself a buff to make her beating him hurt even more was no problem. Lulu quickly bullied Bobo until he cried out in pain.

Emerald watched with interest for a while before separating the two pink-haired girls who were already fighting. She grabbed one in each hand and tossed them onto the chairs, telling them to sit down.

"Alright, stop fooling around... Actually, neither of those two things needs to be kept secret. One of them should be announced soon."

Seeing that the two little pink-haired girls still wanted to fight, Emery brought up the topic again, attracting their attention completely:

"The first thing is that Uncle Milain is finally getting married. The person he is marrying is none other than his rumored girlfriend, Queen Shangying. However, the Queen will not be marrying into our family. Instead, Uncle Milain will be marrying into the family and becoming a prince."

"And the second thing... is that Bobo is not young anymore, and the family is planning to take advantage of this New Year celebration to arrange a marriage for Bobo."

Chapter 232 Met the Parents

"Huh? Uncle Milain is finally marrying Queen Shangying? So Princess Shangying is really our cousin?"

"Princess... I've never met her before. I wonder if she'll end up like in the picture books, once she's defeated and captured, oh dear?"

"When are they getting married? Can we come along and have fun? I want to learn how to hang out with Japanese girls from my older sister!"

"Idiot Lulu! What's so fun about Japanese girls? Shouldn't the most interesting performance in Sakura Country be samurai committing seppuku? That kind of thing that looks so painful, yet they can grit their teeth and endure it until they die without uttering a sound. It's so funny..."

"That's enough, you two!"

Seeing that the two little pink-haired girls were getting more and more excited, and that what they were saying was becoming increasingly unreliable, Emery tapped them again to interrupt them:

"Don't even think about going to Shangying Kingdom to attend the wedding in person. After all, you are too young, and crossing the White Sea is not absolutely safe... Even though Uncle Milain and I are both Fusion Stage Mages, we are not 100% confident that we can protect you. So the family will definitely not agree to let you come along."

Actually, there is an even more important reason: after Pias became the official heir, Bobo and Lulu's status also rose accordingly.

Just as many Americans on Earth wouldn't travel together as a family on one plane, Myerson certainly wouldn't let Pias' three children travel far together; you can't put all your eggs in one basket.

"Hey~~~~"

Bobo and Lulu, the two little pink-haired girls, were visibly disappointed when they heard that they couldn't go to Sakura Country to attend the wedding and have fun together.

Upon seeing this, Emery's lips curled into a smirk, which suddenly turned into a mocking smile:

"However... this time, your older sister is representing the family to attend Uncle Milaen and Queen Sakura's wedding. All the Japanese girls you want to play with and the samurai seppuku performances you want to see, I'll do and watch them for you... Don't worry, when I get back from Sakura Kingdom, I'll tell you all about it in detail~~"

"Aaaaaah! Sister, you're so mean!"

"You slut, how could you do this! You're bullying me!"

The two little pink-haired girls immediately bristled and started to complain and fawn over Amelie.

Amelie then ruffled the two little pink hairs again.

After playing around with her younger siblings for a while, Emerald became serious again, staring intently into Bobo's eyes and saying earnestly:

"There's no rush regarding Shangying Kingdom. Once Uncle Milain becomes a prince, perhaps we can establish a remote teleportation portal there to make transportation more convenient... If we don't have to cross the White Sea, you can go and have fun then."

"The key is you, Bobo... Your family is going to arrange a fiancée for you, and I've always been against arranged marriages. Luckily, my fiancé was unfortunately murdered."

Oh yes, yes, yes, sister, your unlucky fiancé is really too unfortunate.

Bobo and Lulu rolled their eyes, internally complaining, but dared not say it out loud.

"so……"

Emerald pretended not to notice her younger siblings' inner thoughts and continued to stare at Bobo:

"Bobo, do you have a girl you like right now? If so, just say it out loud. I'll support you in your free choice to date."

"The girl I like... well, how should I put it?"

Bobo looked a little lost, then scratched his head:

"I don't think so. Rather, I'm not really interested in girls. I feel like looking at the three-view diagrams of magical artifact components is more interesting than looking at them."

"Well... let me put it this way."

Seeing that Emery's eyes suddenly looked a little strange, Bobo thought for a moment and then said:

"When I was in school, the boys would recommend picture books or magazines with lots of pretty girls to me, and they would drag me to sneak peeks at a few so-called school beauties... But how should I put it?"

"I think those pretty girls in picture books and magazines, or so-called school beauties, are really just so-so... Let alone compared to you, I even feel that I am cuter than them when I wear a dress... So I really can't get interested in them."

"Even if my family suddenly wants to arrange a fiancée for me... I'm still very confused. I've never thought about this kind of thing before."

"That's it..."

Emerald frowned slightly. She hadn't expected that Bobo was still completely oblivious... Or perhaps, like Jia Baoyu, he was desensitized to beautiful girls because his older sisters were too pretty?

"So what do you think of Senior Judy?"

Emery could only ask directly:

"I heard from my senior that she asks you out every time she has a break, and you two seem to get along quite well?"

"Sister Judy? Hmm, she is indeed a bit different."

Bobo thought for a moment and said:

"Unlike those spoiled and boring little girls, Judy makes me feel very safe, and she takes good care of me when she takes me out... well, to put it simply, she's like... like..."

Bobo shrank back slightly, making sure Emerald wouldn't hit him, before sticking out his tongue and whispering:

"She's like another older sister to me, and Judy will only protect and pamper me like you do, but she won't bully or tease me like you do... If I really had to choose a fiancée myself, Judy would be perfect... Haven't you told Grandpa and the others about it?"

Of course I told her, but those old guys don't think much of Judy.

Emerald sighed inwardly, but showed no outward expression, simply nodding with a smile:

"So it seems you really like Judy, Bobo... Well, that's good. As long as you like Judy, you don't need to worry about the rest. I'll take care of everything."

"Okay, then I'll follow my sister's arrangements."

Bobo behaved very well, and even his voice was a little soft.

Actually, Bobo and Lulu are only acting like little devils now that they've reached puberty. When they were younger, they were very attached to Emerald and always sought her help first when they encountered trouble. Emerald could always help them solve problems, so they were used to relying on their older sister.

Keep in mind that back then, Emerald hadn't yet shown much talent and was considered by adults to be a woman who could only contribute to the family through arranged marriages. Yet, both Popo and Lulu trusted her completely... not to mention Emerald's current abilities and strength after she demonstrated them.

If Emerald also wanted to become a goddess like Mondori, then Bobo and Lulu would be qualified to be her pope and saint.

So when Emerald said she could help Bobo resolve his fiancée issue, Bobo trusted her completely, as always.

After confirming that Popeye did indeed have feelings for Judy, Emerald was able to begin her own plans.

These things need to be made clear beforehand, otherwise it would be too funny if Popovich said in the end that he didn't actually like Judy.

Fortunately, judging from Popovich's current reaction, he seems to like Judy, even if he may not realize it himself. But that's not a big problem; he can just give him a hint when the opportunity arises.

As for Judy, Emery wasn't worried at all.

As a close friend from college, Emery knew Judy's preferences well and knew that a player like Popper was right up Judy's alley. In fact, Judy did fall in love with Popper at first sight.

Given Popeye's identity, Judy would be overjoyed if she could actually marry him, so she would definitely cooperate unconditionally with Emerald's plan.

. . . . .

Three days after the end of the family's core members' year-end meeting, the New Year officially arrived, and Merson Manor began to hold a grand celebration that would last for three days.

As a young lady of high birth, Emerald is definitely required to attend the festival. In fact, she has an important role in hosting guests, so she can no longer play with the children as before.

The women around Emerald, except for Viliana who was guarding the city of Locke with her elf squad and Flora who had returned to the Lothid family to reunite with her parents, all came to Melson Manor and had important work to do at the celebration.

This is Yulia's first appearance as Emerald's official girlfriend, and she will accompany Emerald to participate in various social events at the festival.

Although Marcy is Emerald's personal maid, she is also the possessor of the Flame of Life. Her current healing abilities have surpassed those of most professional healers... It can even be said that as long as a person is not completely dead on the spot, Marcy can easily heal any physical injury.

Such a talented person is a waste to just be a decorative figurehead for Emerald. Laura personally approached Emerald and temporarily borrowed Marcy, making her a key member of the medical team to treat family members and guests injured in accidents during the celebration.

But the person with the heaviest task is actually Sulina, and it could even be said that her task is heavier than that of Miss Emerald.
