Martha nodded gently, her voice choked with sobs.
"I know, I'll protect myself."
"Well, though I'm not living here, there's a maid named Eliza. She's my henchman."
Eva unconsciously reached out and grabbed Martha's hand, her eyes filled with worry.
"You should protect yourself and tell me first if anything happens."
Martha nodded, smiled and responded, "I will."
Just as her words were finished, she suddenly thought of what Eva had said when she was just atthe banquet.
The eldest daughter of the Lucas family was marrying into the royal family, what was going on?
She thought this and asked the question.
"Just now at the banquet, what was all that talk about marrying into the royal family about?"
Eva heard these words, her face changed, and she was somewhat bothered.
She knew that Martha had once married and had a child in that city.
Yet the Lucas family needed Martha now.
Her grip on Martha's hand tightened and she said with a bitter smile, "Martha, about what happenedto you in that city, it's all in the past, you have to learn to let go of the past."
"It's different here, you're going to be making a fresh start here."
Martha frowned and looked at her aunt with a look of disbelief.
She didn't understand why Eva would say that. There was Jimmy, her father and that man there, sohow could she let go?
She lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly as she voiced the confusion in her heart.
"I can't let go, there is my child and my loved ones over there."
Eva helplessly shook his head, and did not continue to persuade Martha, but solemnly admonished.
"It's not the right time to talk about this. Anyway, you are in the Lucas family now, make sure youwatch out for people in the family."
"Martha, you have to understand that everyone in the Lucas family could be the mastermind behindthose things."
Martha's hand at her side involuntarily clenched, and her eyes sank.
Of course she knew that everyone could probably be the one hiding behind.
Everyone disguised themselves well.
It was not easy to discover the person hiding behind.
Martha chatted with Eva for a few more minutes before the latter left in a hurry.
After her aunt left, the room resumed its original silence.
Martha looked at this completely unfamiliar room, her eyes sunk and her red lips were tightlypursed.
She was mentally digesting what had happened at the party today and what Eva had just said.
...
As the night fell, Martha followed the maid to her room.
She hadn't been in the room long when there was a sharp knock at the door.
Martha opened the door of the room and saw Daisy standing in the doorway with an impatient lookon her face.
She frowned and asked indifferently, "What brings you here?"
"Well, I brought you some incense over."
Daisy replied mockingly, looking at the woman in front of her with obvious disdain.
Immediately after, without waiting for Martha to ask, she explained in a condescending manner.
"This incense is specially made by the healer for the nobleman, ordinary people can not easily seeit. If you hadn't come to the Lucas family, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen it in your life."
Daisy looked at Martha with increasing disdain as she spoke.
She felt that a traitor like Elsie should be removed from the family, and that her daughter Martha,born from a union with a foreigner, should not have such a high status and was not worthy of usingthe family's fine incense.
It was just that her father had required her, and she could only obey him.
Growing up in the family, Daisy knew very well that going against her father's wishes would not endwell.
Martha looked at the woman in front of her with a cold look in her eyes and indifferently spoke upand refused.
"I don't need incense, you take it back."
Daisy heard this, her eyebrows furrowed, she sneered and asked.
"What? Are you afraid that this incense I gave you is poisonous?"
Martha watched Daisy's reaction with cold eyes, her gut feeling told her that Daisy would not be sostupid, but it was better to save herself from trouble.
Anyway, Daisy was never friendly to her.
She was silent for a long time before explaining in a soft voice.
"You're overthinking it, I'm just not used to using these."
"This incense is to help you sleep."
Daisy's face softened. She looked at Martha still unkindly.
Martha's eyes flickered, and she answered softly.
"I can always sleep well, I don't need to use this stuff."
"You're so pretentious, I brought it to you specially and you still don't want it. If my father hadn'tasked me to befriend you, do you think I would have been willing to take you on?"
Daisy mocked Martha, pushing open the door walking into Martha's room, throwing the incense onthe table and turning around to leave.
She left with an unpleasant remark.
"Anyway, I have delivered the incense, it's at your disposal."
After Daisy left, Martha frowned without closing the door to the room.
Her eyes sank, and after a moment of thought, she went to the table and picked up the incenseDaisy had just dropped and smelled it.
Her eyebrows knitted tighter.
