2081: I Am Royalty

I Am Royalty

Wu Pingting was touched by Elder Wu's words.1

As long as her family was together, she would be happy. As for everything else... Well, it would never be too late for a gentlelady to get her revenge—after meeting Nuannuan, of course. 

Wu Pingting was about to say that Nuannuan had already promised to take her to Luntan and that they had even bought the plane tickets for tomorrow morning already, but Wu Jingzhong said, "I'm going to apply for extradition. I checked the Xu family's background in Luntan and found out that Xu Yunyun's aunt, Fang Lanzhi, has a biological sister named Fang Lanxin. Fang Lanzhi married into Luntan more than 20 years ago. Her husband's name is Kerlow Shiply. Even though he's only the chairman of some corporation and isn't half as good as the Xu family, he has a powerful background."

Just as Wu Jingzhong was about to continue, Nangong Nuannuan spoke up.

"Kerlow Shipley is a daddy's boy. All his achievements to this day are all thanks to his father Adrian and brother Adolf. The Shipley family is a hereditary aristocratic family in Luntan. But there are too many aristocrats in Luntan now, so to maintain the noble lineage of the aristocrats, every family chooses their two most outstanding children to inherit their fortune. Adrian only had two sons. Even though the youngest son, Kerlow, could not take on this role, the eldest son, Adolf, was not bad. Therefore, Adolf was selected as the heir of the Shipley family many years ago. Adrian was a marquis. Now his eldest son, Adolf, is a viscount. If Adolf can do well, he'll easily inherit Adrian's title and become a marquis after Adrian passes away. But if he can't make any contribution to the royal family of Lenten, he can only become an earl at most. Therefore, in Lunten, even if the title of nobility was hereditary, if you can't contribute to the royal family, your title of nobility will become more and more abject with each change of power. But the current Shipley family can indeed be considered as the top nobles of Lunten."

In Luntan, the ranks of nobles ranged from very high to very low. There was Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, and Baron. For example, Nuannuan was the daughter of Duke Eton. There were only four dukes and 31 marquises in Luntan. It could be seen just how high the Shipley family prestige was.

After hearing about Xu Yunyun's backer, Wu Pingting's entire being instantly soured.

However, Wu Jingzhong's expression was the exact opposite of Wu Pingting's.

It was only after hearing Nangong Nuannuan's words that he remembered that she was Duke Eton's daughter.

It was just that... He did not know if Nuannuan would be going there for Pingting's sake to have Luntan extradite Xu Yunyun.

Wu Pingting pouted and complained. "What? Why is Xu Yunyun's life so good? Her aunt's biological sister is actually the daughter-in-law of the Shipley family, and she's even a top noble... Nuannuan, is the Shipley family considered a top family? Then what's your family?"

Nuannuan looked at her resentful eyes and chuckled. "I'm a member of the royal family."

Wu Pingting, "..."

Sze Lingyun, "..."

What an awesome story!

Wu Pingting's eyes lit up again. "T-then we can stick to our original plan, right?"

Nuannuan nodded. "Of course. We've already bought the tickets. Even though we're not short of money, it's still a first-class ticket and can not be refunded."
