Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 175 Three months

Scarlett lingered briefly on Renton Street before finally heading to the Yaanna Theatre, where she casually handed over a few low-quality minerals to Murgard.

Murgard weighed the ore in his hand and gave Scarlett a meaningful look.

A shrewd glint in her eyes betrayed a barely concealed murderous intent. "Scarlett, I heard you went to Lanxi Street this afternoon?"

Scarlett was taken aback, but did not deny it. "Yes."

"What are you doing there?"

"I want to buy a shop to start a business."

"Doing business?"

Murgard's brow furrowed slightly, then smoothed out. "You're planning to stay here permanently?"

Scarlett's eyes were a little vacant, and she subconsciously said, "I wasn't planning on moving."

My first thought was that it couldn't be faked.

Even though the answer was irrelevant, it made Murgard's expression soften more and more. He chuckled and asked again, "You went to the jewelry recycling shop near Langton Street? What were you doing there?"

Scarlett felt a little guilty answering the question. She scratched the back of her head, glanced at the ore in Murgard's hand, and stammered, "Look, look at the ore."

Murgard raised an eyebrow, his knowing expression tinged with a hint of mockery. "Worried that the price I'm offering isn't the highest, so you're comparing prices from different vendors, right?"

Scarlett's cheeks flushed red after her secret was exposed, and she laughed awkwardly, "Hehe, hehe, haha, hehehe..."

Murgard found her petty, commoner-like manner most annoying, and while taking the money, he told her to leave.

He finds it an eyesore.

Scarlett took the money and walked away without stopping.

As soon as she left, Louisa, who had been hiding in the shadows, came out.

Mergard glared at her irritably and snapped, "She's an imperial princess? I could grab anyone I want who's better than her!"

Louisa frowned. "Listen to me, she's definitely faking it!"

"Pretending? Well, she's quite good at it!"

Mergard rolled his eyes, his expression dripping with sarcasm.

Louisa was speechless.

This Murgard is like a stinking rock in a latrine, smelly and hard, with no brains at all. If she didn't want to use his help to find the 12 wanted criminals, she wouldn't bother talking to him!

Louisa caught her breath. "Fine, don't believe me then, but if anything happens on Langton Street in the future, don't blame me for not warning you!"

His tone even carried a threat.

Murgard scoffed, his gaze fixed coldly on Louisa's face. "Don't worry, nothing will happen on Langton Street. You'd better worry about yourself first, Officer Louisa!"

……

……

Scarlett broke out in another cold sweat.

I felt chilly all over when I rode my bicycle back.

When she got home and saw her beastly husband, she finally felt somewhat at ease.

Moting and Zheke are cultivating the front yard.

Ashley and Brian are cooking.

Riley and Tyron are cleaning.

Chi Ye and Holst are cultivating the backyard.

The whole family is enjoying themselves.

Scarlett's eyes stung a little.

This down-to-earth, everyday life is so comforting.

……

……

The next day, Scarlett went to work; this was the last point she needed to confirm.

Who is Isabel?

I just arrived at Flü Manor.

Mennie, acting on the instructions of Miss Isabel, came to invite her to her room.

Scarlett followed Mennie.

Along the way, Mennie kept nagging and said a lot, basically telling her to be careful. She said the second young lady was stubborn and had a bad temper, but she didn't mean any harm, and that she should just bear with it.

Pushing open the ornate door, Isabel sat at the dressing table at the far end of the room, surrounded by maids who were combing her hair.

"Oh dear, you're so clumsy! I don't want you anymore!"

"You too! My hair is chestnut brown, what are you doing bringing a black wig? Go change!"

"And you! I yell at you every single day, you're such a big idiot!" Finally, Isabel couldn't take it anymore. She swept everything off the dressing table and yelled at everyone, "Get out! All of you, get out!"

Everyone left the room.

Mennie gave Scarlett an awkward smile and reminded her again, "Scarlett, remember, be patient."

Scarlett paused for a moment, then went into the room, hanging up a soundproofing device as she closed the door.

She picked up the tailor's wooden ruler from the ground, tapping it against her palm as she walked toward Isabel.

Isabelle was still looking in the mirror, choosing a suitable beaded flower to wear on her head, completely unaware of the danger approaching.

Only when a chill descended from the sky, enveloping her completely, did she look up at the person towering above her and the wooden ruler in her hand. Her eyes widened for a moment, then she burst into tears, "Cousin! It really is you! I'm so glad to see you!"

He hugged Scarlett's waist, crying and shouting.

Snot and tears were all over her clothes.

Scarlett, holding a wooden ruler and ready to scare Isabel, thought: "..."

After crying for about ten minutes, Isabel caught her breath, her loud sobs turning into quiet sniffles, and she was finally able to speak normally again.

Scarlett stared at the face that looked exactly like Anne's. "You're Isabel? When did you change your name?"

Isabel.

No, it was Annie. She raised an eyebrow, pursed her lips, and said, "Cousin, I didn't change my name. It was the Master of the Manor who changed it."

"Master?"

"Correct!"

Anne lifted her tutu, sat down on the ground, and said, "The master's daughter is dead, but she is married to a wealthy merchant. This involves the family's interests, so they dare not tell anyone. They saw that I look eight parts like her daughter, so they chose me to be her daughter in an attempt to deceive them."

Scarlett searched her memory of Freya Manor.

Her original body only arrived two months ago.

Apart from knowing that the owner of Flü Manor was a farmer who made his fortune, he knew nothing else.

Scarlett didn't want to waste too much time, so she asked the most important question, "Annie, how long have you been here?"

Annie counted on her fingers, "It's been half a year."

"so long?"

Scarlett was slightly surprised, and felt even more that something was wrong with the mission in this dimension.

We checked each other's tasks together.

I discovered that apart from the number of days I could survive, everything else remained the same.

This means that.

Each team arrives here at a different time, but the end time is the same. If they don't break the deadlock within this timeframe, everyone will die here.

"Annie, have you gotten any useful information here?"

"No."

Anne's expression was grave. "I can't leave the manor. My area is very limited; I can only stay in my room and the back garden, and I only go to the dining room when the master summons me. I only found out my brother-in-law was here because I overheard Mennie mentioning that one of the new slaves was dressed strangely..."

"cousin."

Anne grabbed Scarlett's hand, tears welling in her eyes. "Can you help me get Toby and the others out? I can't get out, and I'm so worried about them. Toby's only recently recovered; if he's in danger again, I'm afraid he'll die..."

Scarlett looked into Anne's red eyes and found it hard to refuse.

That just so happens, she needs help around her.

She grasped Annie's hand in return, "Okay, your cousin will help you rescue them."

"Thank you, cousin."

Saving lives should be done as soon as possible. Annie stopped crying and recited the addresses and the beastman's name on the light screen one by one.

Scarlett's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this.

It paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

She gently stroked Anne's hair and said softly, "Anne, just play your role well. Don't do anything rash if you're not sure, understand?"

Anne nodded, knowing that the world was becoming increasingly dangerous.

She looked at Scarlett and said, "Cousin, you should also be careful."

Scarlett secretly slipped Anne a tranquilizer gun and a miniature pistol, saying, "Shoot if you're threatened, don't be afraid."

"besides."

Scarlett gave her the golden pearl as well.

It was getting late, and Scarlett didn't dare stay too long, lest she arouse suspicion.

Just as she was about to leave, Anne suddenly remembered something from her jumbled memories and quickly said, "Cousin, three months ago, the manor lord's eldest daughter, Elizabeth, also died."
