Return the Stallion First

After a pause, the magistrate solemnly declared, "This court announces: Andrew Zhao and Lady Joanna are hereby divorced. Custody of both children is awarded to Lady Joanna. Lady Joanna may take all her dowry and personal assets with her..."

Duke Zhao glanced at Prime Minister Quentin Shaw, who was smiling, and felt a surge of resentment.

He knew that, with the Prime Minister backing Lady Joanna, he had no choice but to let her have her way today.

But when did the Prime Minister become Lady Joanna's 'god-brother'?

Why had they never known this all these years?

After leaving the courthouse, the Yuan Family thanked Prime Minister Quentin Shaw, and Grace also put on a show of gratitude.

He simply said "You may rise," then left as if he couldn't be bothered to say another word.

Grace had originally thought he would ask Little Bao about the 'miracle healer.'

But then she realized, even if he did ask, he probably wouldn't do it in front of so many people.

Grace smiled.

......

And so, Joanna Zuo was carried onto the carriage and left the Duke Zhao Mansion.

Mrs. Yuan took Joanna's dowry list and asset inventory, making sure not a single item was left behind.

As Joanna was carried out the gate, Andrew Zhao stood at the entrance, his gaze cold. He uttered five words: "You will regret this!"

Joanna closed her eyes, showing no emotion at all.

Originally, Mr. and Mrs. Yuan wanted to take the two children back to the Yuan Family.

But Joanna didn't agree.

She asked them to help settle everyone and everything at the old Zuo Manor, saying she would take care of the children herself.

Mr. and Mrs. Yuan couldn't insist and had to leave a few loyal servants to look after her before setting off for Danyang.

......

Before leaving Yan City, Grace went to Conrad Manor to see Elder Conrad.

She didn't mention the old couple who sold buns.

After all, if Elder Conrad got emotional and wanted them to testify, they probably wouldn't survive.

She only said she'd gotten a clue from Lily Xu and uncovered the 'Red Secret,' warning him to be extra careful of that person.

Elder Conrad understood what she meant, his expression turning cold.

Then Grace and the Yuan Family returned to the Blue Moon Kingdom together.

......

Once they entered Danyang City and reached the fork in the road, one way led to the General's Manor, the other to the Prime Minister's Manor.

Grace said, "Little Bao, give me the Silver Dragon Stallion. I need to return the horse first."

"Return the horse first?" Little Bao was puzzled. "Why the rush? You could go home and rest first!"

"I said I'd only borrow it for ten days, but it ended up being more than half a month," Grace said. "I need to return the horse quickly and explain in person."

"Oh!" Little Bao dismounted and handed her the reins. "Go ahead!"

"Alright! See you at the Spirit Alliance tomorrow!"

"Mm!" Little Bao replied with a smile.

So Grace mounted one Silver Dragon Stallion and led another, heading straight for the General's Manor.

Just as she reached the gate of the General's Manor, she ran into Louis Lin, who was about to head out.

"Louis Lin, is the General in?" Grace asked.

"He is..." Louis Lin's eyes looked a bit dazed, probably because he hadn't seen her in a long time.

Grace tossed him the reins of both horses and dashed inside.

Louis Lin snapped out of it and hurriedly called after her, "Young Miss, wait! Let me announce you first!"

But Grace was already gone—no sign of the Young Miss anywhere.

Grace sped into the Frostmoon Quarters and spotted people in the outer courtyard's training grounds from afar.

Peeking through the gaps between the trees, she saw Leon Zane standing over there, and Shannon too.
