Chapter 151

Zofia looked and realized it was too late.

The best opportunity to explain has been missed.

Then we can only hope that Chen Ran, this master of humor, will accompany her to explain things properly to her eldest niece later.

And what was the result?

Seeing that Margaret was rushing home without stopping, Chen Ran thoughtfully put Zofia, whom he was holding in his hand, back into the planet model.

Zofia was stunned. "Wait! Wait a minute! Why are you letting me go back now?! I can't explain the suicide note anymore! Going back now will only make things awkward—"

Before Zofia could finish speaking, Chen Ran threw her back into her boudoir in her manor castle.

"So, what was that aunt saying all that time?"

After throwing Zofia back, Chen Ran turned his head and looked at Centaurea in his other hand, asking a question he already knew the answer to.

Centaurea didn't even turn her head, saying, "I guess she's thanking you. My Former Young Lady was very polite."

"That's true."

Chen Ran nodded repeatedly.

Unlike the two who colluded and teased each other, making fun of the "aunt" and "Former Young Lady" they referred to.

Zofia, who had been thrown back, really wanted to yell at everyone.

Unfortunately, the time Zofia was thrown back into the planet model coincided exactly with the time Margaret rushed back to Kazimierz.

So the next second, there was a loud knocking on the door:

"Aunt! Aunt, are you there? I heard from Maria that you spanked her this morning! Aunt, are you home?!"

The voice coming from outside the door was that of her eldest niece, Margaret.

And judging from his tone, he was tired, worried, and a little scared.

It was as if they had rushed back without resting or drinking a drop of water, and their first priority was to check on Zofia's safety.

After waiting for a while without receiving a response, the knocking became increasingly impatient, as if it were about to force its way in at any moment.

"Wait, wait! I'm changing! Stop knocking!"

Zofia immediately spoke up.

And it was very successful; the knocking at the door immediately stopped.

Whether it was relief at learning that Zofia was alright, or the authority of her aunt that made Margaret dare not look at her anymore, it's hard to say.

But in short—

While cursing Chen Ran in her heart for being inhuman, Zofia ran to the wardrobe at lightning speed and changed her clothes.

After clearing her throat a few times to compose herself, Zofia gracefully and dignifiedly opened the door.

Zofia's elegant demeanor didn't last long before Margaret, who was waiting outside the door, rushed forward immediately.

They thoroughly checked Zofia from head to toe to make sure she wasn't injured.

Margaret grabbed Zofia by the armpits and lifted Zofia up like a cat to check if she had any bandages or bloodstains on her body.

Margaret's concern was evident, but just by looking at her little niece Maria, who almost burst out laughing, you could tell—

Margaret is 171cm tall, while Zofia is 165cm tall.

And Margaret was also wearing high heels...

Her eldest niece could actually lift her up and carry her, leaving her feet unable to touch the ground.

So Zofia's face immediately turned red, and she angrily clenched her fist and punched her niece on the head. "Put me down! What kind of behavior is this!"

Seeing that her aunt had a strong voice and that her beatings were incredibly painful.

Margaret shrank back, no longer the Radiant Knight in the eyes of outsiders. Instead, she looked like a child who had done something wrong, awkwardly laughing and quickly putting Zofia down.

"It's because you suddenly sent me a will that I..."

Margaret didn't seem aggrieved, just very puzzled.

But at this point, Margaret's expression turned serious again. "So, Aunt, what exactly happened? Given your personality, you wouldn't joke about something like a 'will,' which is why I rushed back in such a hurry."

Upon hearing this, Zofia did not rush to reply. Instead, she turned her head to look at her little niece Maria.

Maria was initially grinning foolishly, enjoying the rare sight of her aunt being lifted high in the air.

But when Maria saw that Zofia didn't speak and instead looked at her, she was taken aback. After realizing what was going on, Maria pouted and said, "I know... Children can't listen to adults, right? I'm all grown up now...?"

"Yes, Aunt."

Margaret also spoke to her sister, "Maria may be young, but she already understands a lot—"

"Your sister is planning to participate in the Knight Championship."

Zofia interrupted Margaret, saying, "Then I stopped her and caught her and gave her a spanking."

"I didn't! I really didn't!"

Maria began to protest her innocence.

Unfortunately, Margaret, as her older sister, knows her quite well, and Maria seems capable of doing such a thing.

So Margaret was taken aback, but without asking any questions, she turned her head with a subtle expression and said, "Maria, you... uh... um... could you go outside and play for a while? I need to talk to my aunt."

Maria: "..."

After Maria left with a pout, Margaret sighed, turned back, and said, "So, Aunt, can you tell me now? What happened?"

Zofia didn't hide it from her... or rather, she couldn't hide it anyway.

Once Margaret calms down and goes for a walk, she'll probably hear hundreds of rumors.

So Zofia briefly recounted what had happened during this period.

"Well..."

Upon hearing this, Margaret's expression became subtle. She concluded, "So, Aunt, you mean you recently hired a new maid, but that maid's identity is unusual. After reasoning with her and appealing to her emotions... you and that maid formed the Avengers and, under the cover of darkness, went to fight crime like superheroes?"

Zofia: "..."

You're not wrong to say that.

But something sounds weird about it.

If Chen Ran were here, he would definitely be able to reveal the secret in a single sentence.

He's rich by day and a superhero fighting crime by night, with a butler... no, a maid by his side. Isn't this just a gender-swapped version of Batman?

Good heavens, Margaret's words have made Zofia feel like she's lost both her parents.
