“Dangerous?”
Keaton pulled her to sit down, pretending to administer acupuncture. “What is it? Has something not gone smoothly?”
Tessa nodded. “Mainly Margaery and Russell. The two of them seem to have discovered my secret. They’ve already called me an impostor several times. Although the rest of the Wallen family believe me, there’s always a chance something could go wrong”
“And if that happens?”
“If one day Raul starts to suspect me, the only thing waiting for me is a dead end.”
She spoke, looking at Keaton. “Could you help me get rid of Margaery? We don’t need to do it ourselves. Just have someone else do it for us.”
I’ve already mentioned it to Raul. As long as we find the right opportunity, Raul will remember what I said that day, and he’ll be convinced.”
Keaton was somewhat puzzled. “So you mean, you already have a plan?”
“Yes. That day, I told Raul I overheard Margaery saying she wanted to kidnap me.”
Tessa spoke, a smile appearing on her face.
Keaton instantly understood. “Well done. With the Wallen family now hating Margaery and favoring you, if we find someone to pretend to kidnap you and then have them kill Margaery, they’ll definitely agree.”
“You understand me best.” Tessa hugged Keaton.
Keaton patted her shoulder. “I’ll come see you tonight.”
Keaton was dressed as a man now, so it would not be appropriate.
Tessa nodded. “Thank you in advance! Or, could you ask Leo to help?”
“Yes, I’ll go find him tonight.”
Keaton nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and looked at Tessa. “What about you? Did you take abortion medicine?”
Tessa looked troubled at these words. “There was no other way. I originally thought I could marry into the Hadley family.”
“Who knew the Hadley family would collapse, and Prince Callum turned out to be a scoundrel, completely unreliable.”
Keaton snorted at that. “I’ve said it before There’s not a single good man in the Eastvale Empire. If men were trustworthy, would your mother have ended up like that?”
I think you should learn from this setback and be wiser next time.”
“Once we’ve avenged ourselves and reduced the Chancellor’s estate to ashes, we’ll leave this place,” Keaton spoke, gazing out the window.

Outside the Chancellor’s estate.
Two figures landed in a dark alley, conversing in low voices.
“Who would have thought Lady Margaery would guess it right? Not only do Tessa and Shadow Doctor know each other, but they’ve also even plotted such a fine drama!”
“I suddenly understand what Lady Margaery meant.”
“She wanted us to capture Shadow Doctor and was actually waiting for us here.”
“Yes, it’s all thanks to her quick thinking…”
One person sighed, “I thought she was just a naive girl raised in the Chancellor’s estate, but she’s actually quite clever.”
“And ruthless, too.”
The other nodded, “All right, you keep watching. Let them Doctor.”

“This is a serious matter. I need to report to Prince Dashnell, or if something goes wrong, we won’t be able to bear the
consequences.”
With that, the two parted ways.
One returned to the Chancellor’s estate, hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity.
The other hurried off to Dashnell’s residence.

Dashnell’s residence.
Dashnell had just returned from the palace, carrying a stack of documents from the Ministry of Personnel, and was seated at his desk selecting candidates for the cabinet.
Adam and Rowan entered together.
“You’re all here?” Dashnell paused, setting the documents aside.
Adam hesitated, “It was Lady Margaery who poisoned herself. Her body is now covered in sores, and she instructed me to spread the word that she’s been disfigured by poison and has become mute.”
“I wasn’t sure what to do and feared something might happen to her, so I came to find Your Highness.”
After speaking, he knelt down directly.
Dashnell’s heart tightened. “She took the medicine herself?”
‘How serious must the situation be for her to harm her own body just to get through this crisis?‘ he thought.
Adam nodded, “Yes, she prescribed it herself and said there is an antidote…”
Dashnell felt anxious, forcing himself to reason.
Since she made the decision herself, she must have been confident in the outcome.

After all, she was someone who had already died once.
Thinking this, he asked again, “So, does she have any other plans?”
Rowan replied, “She wants us to find an opportunity to capture Shadow Doctor.”

“I just returned from the Chancellor’s estate and discovered that Tessa and Shadow Doctor are planning to stage a kidnapping, then use the Wallen family to kill by proxy!”
With a sudden sound, Dashnell stood up on the spot. “I understand! She intends to use Shadow Doctor as her substitute!”
Dashnell’s heart trembled as he recalled the past life, “Shadow Doctor doesn’t look like her, and their voices must be different! So, if she wants to use Shadow Doctor to get away with it, Shadow Doctor can’t be captured in the original form!”
“So, first of all, the Shadow Doctor must not be recognized!”
“Second, she must not be allowed to speak!”
“At that time, the Wallen family will capture the Shadow Doctor, mistakenly thinking she is Margaery, and then, in order to exchange for Tessa, they will kill her!”
Dashnell felt sorry for Margaery, but thinking of this, he couldn’t help but slap the table in admiration, “Brilliant!”
“This move will make them turn on each other!”
“So, you should fully cooperate with her. When the time is right, I will he felt even more sympathy.
step
in as well.” His heart was beating rapidly, but then
Margaery’s wisdom today was gained at the cost of blood.
Dashnell slowly sat down, “Just follow her instructions. I will go see Craig soon. He should be aware of the situation.”
“Understood.”
Having received definite news, Rowan and Adam turned and left.
As they reached the doorway, Dashnell’s decisive voice came from inside, “Not one of Sullivan from Lakeburgh will remain tonight.”
“Yes!”
This time, only Rowan responded.
Only Stormshade Hall could act to kill Sullivan of Lakeburgh. But Stormshade Hall needed to lie low for now, so they would have to use some tricks and make it look like someone else did it.
Rowan pondered this matter and left.
Adam also returned to the inn.
Dashnell put down the documents and went to find Craig.
Meanwhile, the Eastern Palace’s Crown Prince, Nathaniel, received the news.
“What did you say? Margaery has been disfigured, and has even become mute?”
Upon hearing Lillian’s report, he knocked over the coffee cup at his side.

Lillian, however, was somewhat delighted, chattering incessantly, “Isn’t that so? If you ask me, the guards of Prince Dashnell’s residence are useless as well.”
“Wasn’t Adam personally guarding her? How did someone still manage to slip through and drug Lady Margaery?”
“Before leaving, I went in for a look, and it was truly terrifying.”
“If she were to walk down the street now, I fear even Lord Chancellor would not recognize who she is!”
Saying this, her bright eyes turned toward Nathaniel, “Your Highness, now that she is like this, do you still wish to marry her?”
“Though she is the Star of Fortune, it’s just a title. Whose Star of Fortune is an ugly person, and mute at that?”
“If you ask me, if you truly marry her, people will laugh at you to death.”
She had followed Nathaniel for many years.
She had thought that one day she could become the Crown Prince’s woman, climbing step by step to the position of secondary mistress.
If she did well, perhaps she could even become Crown Princess.
After all, she was also the granddaughter of the great scholar, not just an ordinary maid.
Yet unexpectedly, Margaery beat her to it and seize the opportunity first.
