An Ying's pink eyes revealed a hint of helplessness. "I was also shocked when I heard you mention the Eldest Miss's name. This Illegitimate Son is named Kane Ravenhall, and he addresses the Eldest Miss as 'Dear Gui Ding' in his correspondence."

Gui Ding Ravenhall was indeed the Eldest Miss's name. One wouldn't address a woman by her first name in private unless the relationship was extremely close, especially with the prefix "dear."

Wang Ding sighed helplessly, holding his pen. "Fine, my story is not worth mentioning."

Bai Ao shrugged. "We didn't find anything anyway. The lock on the Eldest Young Master's door Wang Ding and we still can't open it."

Wang Ding: "Young Master Bai, you couldn't open your Weird Object either?"

"You're just too honest. If only you had let me cut it open with scissors earlier!"

Tang Pin spoke up for Wang Ding: "What do you plan to do if you can't restore it after cutting it open? Our operation in this Ancient Castle must not be discovered, otherwise it will trigger the death penalty Rules. Wang Ding's caution is correct; no one expected to have to do it again."

Luo Jiayu nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, be careful."

The Bai Ao shrugged. "Alright, let's try again later."

"Be extra cautious in your next move," Qin Rang instructed.

"Good."

Before she knew it, it was lunchtime. The servants brought the food to her room. An Ying took a bite casually, and then heard an angry shout coming from outside the window.

He opened the window, and a sweet fragrance wafted in from outside—the scent of the various flowers blooming in the Garden.

In the Garden pavilion, Eldest Miss in a fuchsia dress was yelling angrily at a man in a short Vest and tight pants, but they were too far apart to hear what they were saying.

An Ying beckoned to the servant beside her, pointed down and asked, "What's going on?"

The servant bowed his head and said, "That's because Eldest Miss and Young Master Kane are arguing again."

"That's Kane." They started arguing again. Do they argue often?

An Ying lowered her eyes, and out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a familiar face standing in front of the window of the greenhouse opposite the Garden.

Wang changed into a loose black wool sweater and stood by the window, also looking at the Eldest Miss.

He couldn't see his expression clearly, but when his eyes met his light gray eyes, he could clearly sense a hint of mockery in them.

He withdrew his gaze, rested his elbow on the railing made of white stone pillars, and continued to listen to the argument between the two people below.

"You, right now, immediately, deliver that woman's head to me. This is your last chance."

The Eldest Miss sneered, her long-nailed index finger jabbing hard at the man's heart. "Otherwise, no matter who you are, I won't let you off the hook."

"But, this—"

"I don't want to hear your incompetence!" The Eldest Miss kicked Kane, sending him staggering back several steps.

Kane gasped for breath, clutching his groin and grimacing in pain, saying, "Darling, I promise she won't get in our way, and she won't come here to bother us again."

"Do you think I'd still believe your nonsense? Kane, don't test my patience."

The Eldest Miss whispered something, and Kane's expression changed.

Kane watched with great interest until the Eldest Miss stormed off in a huff, at which point he finally found her with his head down.

She looked at his genitals with feigned pity. "Are you alright?"

"What do we do? I've done everything you said, but she still won't let us go." Kane sat hunched over opposite him, rubbing his hair in frustration. "She really wants us dead! Could it be that I...?"

"Sh--"

Wang blinked, her expression instantly shifting to one of worry. She sat down opposite him with concern, pouring him a glass of fine black tea. "Don't worry," she said, "Your wound must still hurt. Sit down and rest."

"I didn't expect my Eldest Sister to be so... sigh, I guess she was really angry with you, that's why she spoke so harshly. I've seen how loving you two are, and how you've both remained chaste for each other."

Kane, interrupted, belatedly realized his loss of control. "But... what should we do now?"

"How about this?"

A hint of amusement flickered in Wang's grey eyes. "Why don't you bring her here and apologize to your Eldest Sister in person? With Father and Mother around, your Eldest Sister wouldn't dare to kill her openly. It's safer than leaving her out there, right?"

Kane lowered his head in thought, "You have a point."

The smile in Wang's eyes deepened, "I was merely offering a suggestion."

"No, I think you're right! I'll go find her right now! Thank you, Wang, you've really helped me a lot."

You're welcome, we're all family.

Watching Kane's hurried departure, Wang's lips curled into a smile as he slowly blew away the steam from his black tea, his gray eyes reflected in the red tea.

There's going to be some excitement to watch.

Not long after he left, An Ying arrived nearby, but found no one there.

As darkness fell, torches were lit throughout the Castle, lights illuminated the hall, and the magnificent long table was laden with exquisite dishes.

Dinner was a very important meal for the nobility, especially for the Rivenhall Family.

All the busy people, the prominent people, will meet at this dinner table in the evening, creating a warm and harmonious family scene.

Tao Yuan and Bai Ao were the first to finish getting ready. The two were very skilled at dressing themselves up, and they didn't lose their aristocratic aura at all after dressing up.

One of the things nobles valued most was clothing and accessories, as these were equivalent to their social status.

It was also because of the presence of these two that they were able to find decent outfits for the other teammates who didn't know how to coordinate their clothes, otherwise they would definitely have embarrassed themselves at the banquet tonight.

Because of the Bai Ao's foul mouth, Tao Yuan wouldn't allow him to talk much. After finding a suitable spot, he sat down and stared blankly at the tableware in front of him.

When Tao Yuan took her seat, a handsome man was already sitting in the main seat. He had deep-set eyes, a slightly upturned nose, and was dressed in a gorgeous suit, looking quite formal. Beside him was the Eldest Miss Gui Ding had changed into a beige long dress.

Although the two sat close together, the atmosphere was very heavy until Tao Yuan took his seat, after which the atmosphere eased slightly.

"Eldest Miss, Eldest Young Master, why haven't the Count and Countess been seated yet?" Tao Yuan looked around first, then asked.

"Miss Dunn, my mother and father have been summoned to the Duke's Castle on business and will not be back for several days," the Eldest Young Master said with a smile.

"I see." Tao Yuan nodded and said nothing more.

Before long, Qin Rang everyone come down and take their seats, and two strangers also sat at the very end of the long table.

After a day of investigation, they all learned that the two people sitting at the very end were Ravenhall's Illegitimate Sons.

These two were brought to the Castle to be raised because they were among the most intelligent, quick-witted, and likable of the many children in Ravenhall. However, since their status was never officially recognized, they could only sit at the back of the long table.
