Chapter 150 Punishment.
The two admitted their mistakes in such an attitude, obviously knowing that this matter could not be concealed at all. Seeing this, Her Majesty the Queen became even more angry and slapped the armrest: "Since you two know your mistakes, then tell me where you are wrong and what you have done. Tell me everything. If you dare to hide anything, I will punish you!"
Victoria and Lady Dai Yin looked pale. They knelt on the ground and told the whole thing, including that the purpose of their doing this was to retaliate against Lu Xia. After
hearing the reason clearly, it was no different from what Lu Xia had guessed. Her expression did not change. She sat there still soft and weak, looking very well-behaved.
After hearing this, Her Majesty the Queen's face was gloomy: "Bring in the waiter."
Obviously, Her Majesty the Queen did not trust Victoria and Lady Dai Yin's words, and she wanted to listen to the waiter's testimony.
Hearing this, Lady Dai Yin and Victoria were somewhat glad that they did not lie, otherwise the end might be even worse.
They secretly looked at Lu Xia and then at Lady Dai Na, with resentment in their eyes.
Madam Dai Yin didn't even understand why Madam Dai Na, who was her closest sister, would stand on Duke Lu Xia's side?
Madam Dai Na seemed not to notice the resentment in Madam Dai Yin's eyes. She picked up the teacup and drank it slowly. She even took the time to pat Lu Xia's hand and comforted her not to worry. But Madam Dai Yin, who was kneeling there, was furious. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she really wanted to ask her sister how she had wronged her and why she helped outsiders to treat her like this!
The waiter was brought in quickly. When he saw Her Majesty the Queen, he was so flustered. He had never thought that he would be able to see Her Majesty the Queen one day in his life. He knelt on the ground, his body trembling constantly, and it seemed that he was restrained after a long while.
"Meet Her Majesty." He stumbled over his greetings, but Her Majesty had no patience and said, "Tell me what happened that day, and don't lie."
The waiter lowered his head and crawled on the ground. Hearing this, he told her what happened that day. He didn't dare to hide it. Even if Lady Dai Yin and Victoria were here, he didn't dare to lie to Her Majesty. After all, Her Majesty was the supreme ruler of the empire.
After hearing what the waiter said, Her Majesty looked at Lady Dai Yin and Victoria who were kneeling on the ground. Seeing that they were smart enough not to hide anything, she waved her hand and asked the waiter to take the waiter away.
After the waiters left, Her Majesty the Queen looked at Lady Dayne and Victoria: "Last time it was me who asked you to compensate and apologize to Duke Luxia. Do you still resent me? Why don't you retaliate against me?"
Victoria and Lady Dayne knelt on the ground, lowered their heads, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, we were wrong. We dare not do it again. We are willing to apologize to Duke Luxia and we are willing to compensate. We really dare not do anything else, Your Majesty. Please forgive us this time."
"Forgive you again. Didn't I forgive you last time? You have disgraced the royal family. I heard that the guests who went to Victoria's public banquet were also drugged by you, right?"
Lady Dayne did not expect that Her Majesty the Queen knew about this matter. She said timidly: "I just didn't want them to go out and talk nonsense, so I used a little bit of love potion on them. It really won't affect them or anything. Your Majesty, please believe us."
"Hmph, how can we trust you after doing such a thing, Madam Dai Yin? You have disappointed me so much. Not only did you raise a child like Victoria who is so willful and reckless, but you yourself are so unbearable. If you continue to let this go, the wisdom and reputation of the royal family will be destroyed by you. Tomorrow, you and Victoria will move out of the Imperial Star and go to your territory to do evil."
Upon hearing this, Lady Dai Yin immediately cried out, "No, Your Majesty. How can we leave you? We are really wrong. Give us another chance."
Although they have their own territories, it is not as prosperous as the Imperial Star. They have lived in the Imperial Star for decades and are completely unaccustomed to the life in the territories. If they really go there, their quality of life will definitely be greatly reduced. How can they bear it? Lady Dai Yin felt miserable when she thought that she would have to spend the rest of her life in such a desolate place as the territories.
Victoria also changed her face. They had naturally been to the territories. It was because they had been there and seen the desolation there that they knew how severe the punishment was. Her Majesty the Queen was obviously cruel.
Her Majesty the Queen looked at the two crying mother and daughter hugging each other, her expression unchanged: "What's the use of your crying now? What didn't you do before? Now you feel you can't accept it and do such a shameful thing. Why don't you think about the consequences? This matter is settled. Now you still have time to go back and pack your things. If you can't do it, I will naturally ask someone to help you. You must leave early tomorrow morning!"
Her Majesty the Queen had made up her mind. There was no room for maneuver. Lady Dayne and Victoria sat on the ground with dejected faces. Their arrogance was gone.
After the Queen made this announcement, she looked at Lu Xia: "Your Excellency, Duke, are you satisfied with this punishment?"
Lu Xia seemed to be shocked and quickly stood up and said: "Your Excellency, isn't this punishment too severe for Lady Dai Yin and Lady Victoria? In fact, I was not hurt at all. How about... how about just forgetting it?"
The more she compromised, the less likely Her Majesty would really let her forget it: "They bullied you like this, and you even pleaded for them. You are too kind. You can't be wronged again in this matter. Whether you are really hurt or not, they did a terrible job in this matter. They must be punished. There is no need to plead for them. They must go to their territory to reflect on themselves, so as not to cause trouble in the Imperial Star."
Obviously, Lu Xia's plea did not bring a turnaround for Lady Dai Yin and Lady Victoria, but made Her Majesty even angrier.
Lady Dana had been sitting quietly by the side, glancing at Lu Xia, and said nothing. Instead, she was very satisfied with Lu Xia's performance. She always knew that Duke Lu Xia was a very smart person.
Madam Dai Yin couldn't help but look at Madam Dana and cried, "Sister, can't you say something? It would be good if you could help your sister at this time."
Hearing this, Madam Dana looked at Madam Dai Yin whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, and said, "Now you know that I am your sister. When you used me to retaliate against Duke Lu Xia, how could you not know that I was your sister? His Majesty has just said that he wants you to go to the territory and reflect on yourselves. What else can I ask for for you? Am I shameless too?"
Her Majesty the Queen was very satisfied with Madam Dana's performance: "You are all sisters, Madam Dai Yin. If you were as sensible and generous as Madam Dana, you would not have done such a shameful thing today, and Victoria would not have let you teach her like this. It's too late to regret it now. As for Victoria's marriage to Xiongzi from the Dafelno family, let's just call it quits. I heard that the child is still being rescued. I didn't know what was going on before, but now I understand that it was harmed by you!"
