Drag That Little Wretch Out

"I heard that Grace threatened to make the Wood Family fall just like the Sun Family did!"

Lily Xu was deliberately trying to provoke Duke Winston Wood into going after Grace.

"Really?" Winston Wood paused for a moment. "Ha! I almost forgot how the Sun Family got ruined..."

"Oh, you! Always forgetting the important stuff!" Lily Xu teased. "Mythril Ore!"

"Ah... now I remember!" Winston Wood was especially irritable today, his breathing growing heavier.

"If I recall, your Wood Family owns a few mines too, right? Since she said that, you’d better be careful!"

"Then I’ll just wait and see if she’s really got the guts to mess with the Empress Dowager and Consort Penelope’s family!"

"Oh, she—"

"Enough! Stop with the buzzkill!" Winston Wood slapped her on the butt. "Hurry up and get undressed! I’m stuck at home all day with that old tigress, can’t even get close to my concubine. Let me have some fun!"

"Ouch, be gentle! Don’t be so impatient..."

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang!"

The bedroom door was kicked open with brute force.

Winston Wood and Lily Xu were tangled up together, stark naked, and instantly scared out of their wits.

Lily Xu turned her head and saw an unfamiliar woman with a very plain face.

She jumped up, clutching her chest and scolded, "How dare you! Who are you to barge into the Vice President’s room?"

The woman’s face was grim. She waved her hand and ordered, "Drag that little slut out—don’t let her put on any clothes!"

"Yes, ma’am!" Two strong servant women strode in and dragged Lily Xu out, completely naked.

Their cultivation was so high, she couldn’t fight back at all. Lily Xu started to panic and struggled, "Who are you people?"

The woman stared at Winston Wood, who was scrambling to get dressed, and said word by word, "Winston, tell her who I am!"

Winston Wood’s face turned ashen. He cried, "Princess, she seduced me!"

The moment Lily Xu heard the word "Princess," she knew she was in big trouble.

This woman had to be the Dowager Princess of the Wood Family—Winston Wood’s wife.

The Wood Family is the top noble clan in the Vermilion Kingdom.

Many family heads have married princesses.

Winston Wood was no exception—he married Emperor Henry Tuoba’s eldest aunt.

This Dowager Princess looked utterly plain; even in the finest fabrics, she couldn’t pull off any elegance.

So Lily Xu hadn’t realized who she was just now.

"Throw her off the mountain!" the Dowager Princess commanded.

"Yes, ma’am!" The two servant women dragged the naked Lily Xu toward the cliff.

As Vice President, Winston Wood had his own private courtyard.

Just outside the courtyard, there was a sheer cliff.

Hardly anyone lived nearby—if she got thrown down, nobody would ever know.

Lily Xu panicked and screamed, "Vice President Wood, save me, please!"

But in front of the Dowager Princess, Winston Wood didn’t even dare to breathe.

Seeing she was about to be tossed off the mountain, Lily Xu desperately grabbed a pine tree and shouted, "Help! Somebody help! Falcon Team, hurry and save me!"

The Dowager Princess was famous for being a fierce tigress—even the emperor gave her a wide berth.

If she said she’d throw you off, she probably really would.

So Lily Xu couldn’t care about anything else—not even the fact she was naked—and just kept screaming for help.

Her voice was so sharp and shrill that a bunch of people heard it and rushed over.
