Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love Chapter 602 - 517 When Can You Retire? (Third Update)

The Emperor’s lips trembled slightly; his daughter was threatening to slit her wrists, yet his wife was still so composed!

The Empress threw him a aningful glance.

The Emperor imdiately held his tongue.

"She hasn’t done it yet. Xia Mama is outside the door trying to persuade her. Xia Mama asked to bring you over. If you’re too busy to co, she requested you open the door so she can continue persuading her."

"Why is she threatening to slit her wrists?" the Empress asked coldly.

"Princess Nancy heard that Xia Mama is leaving. She suddenly beca agitated, saying she wants to leave with Xia Mama. Xia Mama refused, so Princess Nancy picked up a fruit knife."

"Go back and tell Xia Rou not to persuade Nancy any further. Let her leave the palace right now. I want to see how far Nancy is willing to take this tantrum!" The Empress frowned slightly, picked up the phone, and arranged a car for Xia Rou.

"... Understood!"

The servant had just stepped out when the Emperor spoke up, "Zhi Lan, Nancy wouldn’t really hurt herself, would she?"

"A few days ago, her hand was pricked by a rose thorn, and she cried from the pain. Soone like her who is afraid of pain wouldn’t really slit her wrists!" The Empress said, frowning. "Clearly, Xia Rou has had a profound influence on Nancy. As long as she doesn’t leave, it’s impossible for us to guide Nancy onto the right path."

Though his wife’s reasoning seed sound, the Emperor still showed a worried expression.

The Empress shook her head helplessly, "Randy, a mont of pain for a lifeti of peace. Even if she truly tries to kill herself, we cannot yield to her demands. Danton’s health isn’t good, and Nancy will need to support him in the future. With Kai Di already causing a precedent, history cannot repeat itself."

The Emperor imdiately cald down.

"I’ll go see Xia Rou off..."

Just as the Empress stood up, the Emperor grabbed her by the arm, "Why see her off? If she hadn’t said sothing to Nancy, how could Nancy have acted so recklessly?"

"She raised Nancy for us; I should bid her farewell properly." The Empress removed his hand and briskly walked out the door.

As she stepped outside, Xia Rou ca rushing over in a fluster. "Empress, let persuade Nancy before I leave. This child is too stubborn—I’m afraid she really might harm herself..."

The Empress frowned slightly and interrupted Xia Rou. "Xia Rou, the more Nancy acts this way, the more you need to leave. We cannot indulge her temperant. I haven’t even told you everything Nancy’s done these past few days. I’ll explain it all when I have ti to visit you at the estate.

Randy asked you to go to the estate mainly to get so rest. After so ti, I’ll have soone bring you back. I just don’t understand why Nancy is making such a fuss!"

"Ah... Nancy has never been separated from since she was little. She’s probably just reluctant to part. I rely ntioned that I was leaving, and she started acting out. It even gave quite a scare."

The Empress took Xia Rou’s hand, "You’ve worked so hard over the years. Once you’re at the estate, take good care of yourself. Nancy and I will visit you often. If you miss Nancy, you can also co back to see her. But right now, that won’t be possible. I need to teach her so life principles..."

Xia Rou said regretfully, "It’s all my fault. After raising her so many years, she still hasn’t learned these principles."

The Empress gave her a deep look and smiled, "You’ve done well. You’ve taught her many things, but you spoiled her too much. There’s truth in the saying, ’A doting mother raises a wayward child.’ Now it’s my turn to be the strict mother, and I promise to shape her into soone admirable."

"Let go see her before I leave."

"Xia Rou, trust , don’t go see her. The more you go, the more she’ll act out. I’ll escort you out myself."

Xia Rou froze for half a second before nodding in resignation.

The Empress accompanied Xia Rou as she packed a few belongings and personally saw her off to the car.

As the car pulled away, the Empress looked at Xia Rou’s sorrowful face and offered a smile. "I know what I’m doing will make both you and Nancy resent , but when Nancy becos successful, you’ll understand the painstaking effort I’ve put forth today."

Xia Rou forced a small smile. "Now that I’m leaving, don’t be too harsh on Nancy. She’s timid and will listen to whatever you say."

"Alright." The Empress smiled and personally shut the car door before watching the car drive out of the palace. Only then did she take slow steps toward Nancy’s bedroom.

The bedroom was eerily quiet. A few servants saw the Empress enter and quickly bowed deeply in respect.

The Empress didn’t utter a word to them but motioned with her hand for them to leave.

After they left, the Empress walked to the long hallway and leaned forward to peek inside the room.
