Jean’s aunt, Seren, sat there sipping her tea, seemingly indifferent to the
tense atmosphere. However, her sudden lightughter broke the silence.
“Frederic, this new daughter-inw of yourses from a humble
background, which is fine, but she needs a lot of refinement and etiquette.
You’ll have to teach her how tomunicate with elders properly,” she
remarked, implying that Neeracked manners.
Frederic’s brow slightly furrowed as he listened, his thoughts clear as a mirror.
What kind of “teaching” was this? His sister just wanted to provoke Neera.
But Frederic didn’t me her; he calmly said, “Neera has just arrived, and she
might be feeling a bit nervous, so her words may have been misjudged.”
Wrenn chimed in to support, “Absolutely! She’s just arrived, and you all are
putting on such a grand show, making it feel like an interrogation. She’s a
young girl and may say the wrong things due to nerves. As elders, we should

be understanding and not take it to heart.”
Neera’s eyes shed with a glint of determination, but she kept up her
innocent facade, timidly biting her lip.

“Did I say something wrong just now, Uncle rence? I hope you don’t
misunderstand; I truly didn’t mean anything else. Jean had already advised
me beforeing that I must always respect and agree with the elders. I
might not be very articte, and perhaps I said something inappropriate…”
Her expression of innocence was so convincing that it made it hard for
anyone to me her.
The members of the Beauvort family found themselves doubting their
judgments. Was this woman genuinely naive, or was she pretending to be
ignorant?
If she was truly naive, then her sharp retort earlier must have been
coincidental, leaving everyone speechless.

On the other hand, if she was pretending to be naive, her current
appearance made it difficult to tell if it was an act.

Only Jean remained clear-headed, watching her act, and nearly bursting out
laughing.
He realized he had seriously underestimated this woman.
Evenn, who had been standing nearby, couldn’t help but think, “What a
fantastic performance! This level of skill in expression, she deserves an
Auscar Award!”
Seren squinted at Neera for a while and began to sense that she was a
formidable one.
After a moment, Seren spoke again, her smile seemingly having a hidden
meaning, “Jean, your wife is quite fascinating.”
Though her words sounded like praise, there was an obvious undertone.

Jean was well aware of the implied meaning but paid no mind to it. He
responded casually, “Aunt Seren, you’re too kind. She is indeed fascinating.”
Having been shut down earlier, rence was unwilling to lose face. He took
the opportunity to mock, “Considering Jean’s health, shouldn’t he have
married a gentle and virtuous woman to take care of him? Why marry
someone so…”
He stopped midway, leaving the rest unspoken.
Everyone could easily guess what he didn’t say; it wasn’t anything
complimentary.
rence turned to Frederic, purposely targeting his sensitive spot.
“All I’m saying is, aren’t you afraid Jean might face some unexpected
consequencester? Your new daughter-inw seems quite spirited, and it
might sh with Jean’s fate.”
His words were cu nning, aiming straight at Neera and implying that she

Frederic’s expression turned grim at once.

Jean’s health had always been a worry for him, and rence’s words struck
a nerve.
Wrenn, too, showed a faint cr ack in her well-maintainedposure, unable
to bear it any longer. She red at rence and rebuked him with a stern
voice.
“rence, what’s the meaning of this? Are you allowed to speak recklessly
like that?!”
