Chapter 2408 - 670: Edith Apologizes, Cooperation (Part 4)
"What does the Old Prince think, which side is better to support?" An Yiqing smiled at the Old Prince, eyes shimmering with mysteries.
The Old Prince looked deeply at An Yiqing, shrugged, "Xiao Qing Beauty, don’t look at me like that. The Bruch Family is not an ordinary noble, we are noble Blood Clan. Since you support Emory, then as Mr. Xia’s people, of course, we stand by your side."
An Yiqing laughed, satisfied with the Old Prince’s goodwill.
The next day, the Old Prince Bruch himself called Meg, giving her a meaningful warning. Meg and her husband thought for a long time, and finally decided to follow An Yiqing’s advice.
The meeting place for both parties was set at the Old Prince Bruch’s mansion, which was deliberately arranged by An Yiqing. The Bruch Family’s power is immense, even the Royal Family must give way. With the Old Prince present, Edith and her parents would inevitably have some concerns.
On this day, An Yiqing arrived at the Old Prince’s mansion as agreed. When she got there, Meg and her husband were sitting on the sofa chatting with the Old Prince. Edith was lying on a nearby sofa, wrapped in bandages, looking miserable.
"Miss An." Seeing An Yiqing arrive, Meg and her husband immediately stood up. The Old Prince sighed inwardly, the couple who always had their eyes above their heads had surprisingly been subdued by An Yiqing.
An Yiqing smiled without speaking. She directly went to sit beside the Old Prince, not even glancing at the couple.
Meg and her husband felt a little humiliated, but needing help, they could only humble themselves.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, apologies for the delay." An Yiqing exchanged pleasantries with the Old Prince.
"No problem, you’re very punctual." The Old Prince shook his wrist, looking teasingly at An Yiqing with a glance. An Yiqing shrugged, with an innocent look. She did it on purpose.
"Now that everyone is here, Lady Meg, it’s your turn next." The Old Prince initiated.
Meg bit her lip, took out a check.
"Miss An, this is a billion gold coins, your consultation fee."
An Yiqing glanced at the check on the coffee table, her expression indifferent. She turned her gaze to Edith, lying there playing dead.
"What? Princess Edith’s throat was poisoned too?"
Edith’s body stiffened, slowly sitting up from the sofa. Her skin was wrapped in bandages, revealing only her eyes, nose, and mouth. The whole person looked like a mummy, but from the eyes, it was indeed Edith.
"Princess’s style, is this next year’s new trend?" An Yiqing raised an eyebrow, mocking unceremoniously.
Edith burned with anger, wishing she could tear An Yiqing’s smiling face apart. She panted heavily, suppressing the fury in her heart. To detoxify, she endured!
Standing up, under An Yiqing’s smiling gaze, she slowly bent over, doing the most disgraceful thing of her life.
"Miss An, I shouldn’t have coveted General Gu, nor should I have tried to seduce him. I apologize for everything I did before, I am sorry."
An Yiqing said nothing, Edith bowed at ninety degrees, her whole body aching. She bit her lip fiercely, vowing to remember all of this today.
An Yiqing, one day, I will return all of this to you a hundredfold!
An Yiqing was unaware of Edith’s thoughts, even if she knew, she would just laugh it off. She looked at Edith, nodding with satisfaction.
"I accept the princess’s sincerity, but I still hope to see your apology letter in the newspaper tomorrow. Here is the antidote, to be taken in two doses. Today is the first pill, it can relieve itching. Tomorrow night, I will have someone deliver the second one, and in a week, the skin will be healed."
Edith felt flushed with anger, damn An Yiqing! She was forcing her to publish an apology!
Stiffly taking the antidote and swallowing it, Edith fearfully discovered her skin actually wasn’t itching anymore. She hatefully glanced at An Yiqing from the corner of her eye, more convinced the poison was indeed from her!
"Now that things are settled, I hope Princess Edith will keep her promise and stay away from my husband in the future. The Old Prince Bruch is present as a witness, so I believe none of you will go back on your word."
"Yes, Princess Edith will certainly not do such a thing, I vouch for it."
An Yiqing and the Old Prince Bruch sang in harmony, leaving the Edith family speechless. No longer able to bear the pain of being manipulated, they hurriedly took their leave, fleeing like escapees.
