Chapter 183 Deprivation.

The moment Admiral Clan and Duke Cecilia appeared, Lu Xiao realized that she was no longer alone and helpless in this world. She not only had Ares, but also her father and grandmother.

At this moment, in this strange world, she felt a sense of belonging for the first time.

Lu Gewei looked at Lu Xiao who was walking towards Cecilia, with jealousy that could not be hidden in her eyes.

But she said, “Mom, you misunderstood. I was just joking with Xiaoxiao. Why did you bother to come here in person?”

She knew that Cecilia was sitting here now because of Admiral Crane.

But she didn’t dare to teach Admiral Clan a lesson in front of Cecilia, as that would undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the Duke’s Palace of Galliodro.

Cecilia looked coldly at Lu Gewei who was trying to whitewash the truth.

“Are you kidding? We all heard it outside the door just now. I didn’t expect that you, as a mother, would be jealous of your female cubs, and I didn’t expect you to bring so many people with you. What do you want to do? Kidnap Xiaoxiao and make her agree to accept those messy males against her will for the sake of you as a mother?”

“Mom, I didn’t mean that. I was really doing this for her own good. I was worried about her being alone at home…”

“That’s enough. Are you sincere? I’m not blind, nor am I old enough to not know right from wrong. You don’t need to quibble here. We all know what kind of person you are. The best thing you’ve ever done in your life is probably giving birth to Lu Xiao.” Cecilia couldn’t help but show disgust in her eyes when she said this. “If Xiaoxiao had been a little weak today, she would have been bullied to death by you guys. Fortunately, Lu Xiao is not a soft person, and she knows very well what kind of life she wants to live. How happy and happy her life is now, I’m afraid you will never be able to see or get it in your lifetime. You should be jealous. After all, you can’t have it, because you are rotten to the core!”

“And there are those rotten and gossipy females in the empire who think they are noble, but in fact they are nothing. They are disgusting and vicious, and they are all long-tongued females. Today I will put my words here. If there are any females who gossip and vilify and insult our Lu Xiao again, I will go to the Female Protection Association in the name of the Duke of Galliodro’s Mansion to sue them. I want to see what kind of good life these people live every day!”

Cecilia said these words to the females outside who wanted to leave but were intercepted by the sudden appearance of Admiral Clan.

At this moment, they were all like frightened quails, not daring to breathe.

After saying this, Cecilia looked much better, and it was obvious that she was much calmer.

But he still didn’t care about Lu Gewei’s life or death, as if he was going to judge Lu Gewei today.

The old lady sat there, took the tea that Lu Xiao poured for her, took a sip to moisten her throat, and continued to speak. “As for you, Count Lu Gewei, you have a mess of a life. What qualifications do you have to intervene in Lu Xiao’s life? Xiaoxiao’s achievements today have nothing to do with you, her mother. She grew up like this today because she was strong and didn’t follow your example. They all rotted together. Lu Huan and Lu Yu have become exceptionally good because of Xiaoxiao. Only you are still rotting in the quagmire, trying to drag everyone down with you. You are a bad seed, a born bad seed.” Cecilia said here, and couldn’t help but stand up, “Today I am the master, in the name of Duke Galliodero, I allow the three female cubs Lu Xiao, Lu Huan, and Lu Yu to sever ties with your Earl Gewei Mansion. In the future, they will all be registered under my name and have nothing to do with you, Lu Gewei. In the future, they can live whatever they want, and you are not allowed to interfere!”

This sentence is obviously the purpose of Cecilia’s visit today.

The unquestionable tone did not leave Lu Gewei any chance to ease up or refuse.

Cecilia’s words were completely beyond Lu Gewei’s understanding. She had never thought that her momentary impulse and jealousy would allow Duke Cecilia to exercise his power to deprive her of her rights as a mother.

If this really came to pass, she would become a laughing stock among all the females in the empire and would never be able to turn things around.

She couldn’t bear such a result.

“Mother, mother, I was wrong. I was just impulsive. I didn’t mean any bad intentions, really. Please believe me, I really didn’t. Xiaoxiao, mother was wrong. Mother will never care about you again. You can live the life you want. Clan, for the sake of our marriage, please persuade mother!” Lu Gewei was really panicked. She didn’t care about her self-esteem or the face of being a count. She grabbed Duke Cecilia’s sleeve and begged for mercy.

However, Cecilia shook her hand off and looked at her coldly: “I have made up my mind about this matter today. I will report it to Her Majesty the Queen on a chosen day. Lu Gewei, face the reality. This is the life you want Lu Xiao to live. How about experiencing it yourself first?”

Lu Gewei’s body softened because of Cecilia’s words, and she sat on the ground weakly: “Why, why do you treat me like this? I think I have been respectful and respectful to you all these years, and I have never neglected you for a single day. Why are you so heartless?”

“Why did I do this? Don’t you know in your heart what you did to Clan in order to get close to the Galliodero family? You think I really don’t know and don’t care. It’s just that I know very well that even if Clan is with you, you will not have an easy life, and he can get promoted because of it. That’s why I acquiesced to your relationship. Otherwise, you should have ended up like this decades ago.”

At this point, Cecilia’s tone slowed down. “Originally, for Lu Xiao’s sake, many things could have been forgiven, but you chose to do it. Her husband just went to the frontline battlefield, and you were so anxious to recommend males for her. What’s your intention? Do you think everyone is like you, unable to stand loneliness? Clan is stationed at the front line, and you are looking for males one after another at home. Are you so anxious?”

Obviously, Cecilia did not respond to what Lu Gewei had done over the years. It did not mean that she was unaware of it or did not keep it in mind. It was just that she had not found a suitable opportunity to settle the score. At one point, she even thought about letting it go because of Lu Xiao’s existence.

But Lu Gewei chose to destroy Lu Xiao’s happy life.

Admiral Clan went to the front battlefield to pave the way for Ares, which destroyed Lu Xiao’s peaceful life. He also witnessed the sincere feelings between Lu Xiao and Ares.

The feeling of guilt in their hearts has not yet subsided. They have just sworn to protect their relationship. When Lu Gewei bumps into them at this time, can they still let her go?
