If he handled it well, he could take the credit.

But if he didn't handle it properly, he would not only offend the Yelü royal family but also find it difficult to have a foothold in Huaguo.

Therefore, Mr. Su thought of doing Leonard a favor. He let them help him investigate the matter of Mr. Ouyang. Leonard, in order to clear Freya's name, would naturally mobilize all his forces to deal with this matter.

As for him, he just needed to sit here and wait for the result.

In this way, he wouldn't provoke the Yelü royal family. Even if the matter wasn't handled well in the future, he could find a way to wash away all the blame and shift all the responsibility onto Solterra.

Of course, this was a last resort. He wouldn't offend Leonard unless it was absolutely necessary.

The secretary gave Mr. Su a thumbs-up and praised, "Sir, this move is brilliant. I'm afraid Leonard and Your Highness of Solterra are still glad that you're so reasonable. They definitely can't imagine that this is a pit you've dug for them."

Mr. Su put down the teacup, and a cunning arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I can't be blamed for this. Someone wanted to do harm to Solterra. They're just unlucky enough to have to take on this hot potato."

...

The people here thought their plan was perfect, but they didn't know that it had already been seen through by Bradley.

However, due to their disadvantaged position, they still had to take on this matter.

Bradley asked Ying to keep a close eye on Mr. Su. He always felt that this person had ulterior motives and was definitely plotting something shady behind the scenes.

Of course, the attitude of Huaguo towards Freya surprised a lot of people.

Especially Yelü Qi. He had never expected that the investigator who had been pressing him so hard would be so lenient towards Freya.

The queen also heard the news and rushed over immediately. She said resentfully, "It must be Leonard relying on his power to make Mr. Su compromise, so he didn't pursue Freya's responsibility. Your Majesty, we can't just let this go. Otherwise, the Yelü royal family will have to take the blame."

At this moment, Yelü Qi and Yelü An were discussing this matter. Yelü Qi kept emphasizing that the Yelü royal family wouldn't take the responsibility for this matter, while Yelü An, as Bradley's old friend, chose to speak up for Freya.

As a result, this move made Yelü Qi very unhappy, and the atmosphere became very tense.

The queen barged in at this time. Her voice preceded her arrival, which made Yelü An extremely annoyed. Without considering Yelü Qi's face, he directly retorted, "Sister-in-law, as the queen of a country, you should think about how to help your husband maintain relations with other countries, instead of trying to sow discord."

Yelü An had left the Yelü Palace in the past. In fact, he had returned to visit Yelü Qi several times. But after Yelü Qi got married, he never set foot in the palace again.

The main reason for this was the queen.

The queen was arrogant by nature and always eager to stir up trouble. Since she married into the Yelü royal family, there had been few peaceful days.

Especially because she couldn't bear children for the royal family herself, but she strongly opposed Yelü Qi taking concubines, resulting in Yelü Qi having no children.

Of course, Yelü An also knew that the queen had done a lot of immoral things behind the scenes. Any woman who had the slightest connection with Yelü Qi would receive her severe retaliation, and she even used vicious means to drive them to death or madness.

Yelü An couldn't stand his sister-in-law's behavior and also felt sorry for his brother, who had his whole life ruined by this woman.

Originally, Yelü Mingshuo wasn't of the Yelü royal family's bloodline, and Yelü An didn't want to come back to treat him. If it wasn't for the fact that Yelü Qi had no children by his side and Yelü Qi had begged him repeatedly, he wouldn't have softened his heart and returned to the palace.

During these days of living in the Yelü Palace, Yelü An had been avoiding meeting his sister-in-law. But after all, she was the mistress of Country Z. Living under the same roof, it was inevitable that they would run into each other.

When the queen heard what Yelü An said, she angrily scolded, "An, how can you talk like that? I'm doing this for the sake of the Yelü royal family. Why are you always siding with outsiders?"

Hearing this, Yelü An shook his head helplessly. "I'm not siding with anyone. I just know that harmony brings wealth. Don't act on impulse because of personal grudges, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself."

The two of them wouldn't give in to each other. Yelü Qi, who was listening beside them, looked more and more unhappy.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and slapped the table, shouting angrily, "That's enough! Both of you, shut up."

The queen was scolded and didn't dare to say another word.

Yelü An was also very angry. He directly proposed to leave. "I won't care about this matter anymore. Your Majesty, take care of yourself. I'm leaving!"

After saying that, he turned around and left directly.

The queen looked at his tall and slender back, and endless hatred filled her eyes. She even clenched her fists tightly.

If it wasn't for Yelü An's excessive playfulness and taking Yelü Qi to Huaguo back then, Yelü Qi wouldn't have had an affair with a woman out of the blue.

Others thought she didn't know, but she had investigated everything about Yelü Qi's past in detail since she married him.

She knew everything that Yelü Qi had done, what he had been involved in, and which women he had come into contact with.

She just didn't expect that through this investigation, she would find out about the existence of a woman. Following the clues, she unexpectedly discovered that the woman was pregnant with Yelü Qi's child and had secretly given birth to it.

After learning this news, the queen developed a killing intent.

So, she bribed people in the capital city to secretly get rid of that mother and daughter, making them disappear from the world completely. In this way, even if Yelü Qi wanted to investigate, he couldn't bring the mother and daughter back to the Yelü royal family.

But recently, for some reason, she had been having frequent nightmares. Especially when she saw Freya, an ominous feeling lingered in her heart.

The people she sent out brought back the news that Freya was a rural village girl, and no other clues were found.

But she felt that things weren't that simple. With Freya's intelligence and talent, how could she be just a village girl?

She tried to contact the person she had bribed back then, but that person couldn't be reached. So, she had no choice but to send someone to the capital city of Huaguo. Only then did she learn that that person had already died.

The queen was very uneasy. After the matter was completed back then, the other person had contacted her for money, saying that the matter had been taken care of and that both the mother and daughter were dead.

At that time, she was focused on dealing with the princess consort and didn't have much time to confirm the truth. So, she had someone send the money casually, and gradually, this matter was forgotten.

Now, when she saw Freya, she had a premonition. Had that person from Huaguo deceived her and not completed everything as required?

Otherwise, how could there be someone who looked so similar in the world?

"Your Majesty, I've told you not to interfere in this matter. Do you take my words as noting?" Yelü Qi shouted angrily.

The fact that his younger brother was taking the side of Freya and Leonard had already made him very unhappy. Now, the queen was causing trouble again, which made Yelü Qi extremely irritable.

The queen said sadly, "I'm just doing this for the honor of our Yelü royal family. Do you think we should let Freya get away with killing someone and let our Country Z take the blame?"
