Chapter 1376: Li Ang is still on his way by horse
You want the bouquet?
Feeling completely comfortable being called sister-in-law by Melanie, Princess Veronika had originally intended to agree to whatever she wanted, but after hearing Melanie's request, Princess Veronika was stunned. She gathered her skirt, squatted down, and asked with confusion:
"But you're only six years old this year, right? Isn't it... a bit too early to want the bride's bouquet?"
"I..."
"No causing trouble!"
Moving with lightning speed, Anna grabbed Melanie's small ear. With anger rising in her brows, Anna placed one hand on her hip and scolded with annoyance:
"What bouquet do you want? I think you look like a bouquet!"
"Ouch!"
Facing Anna's "must-hit" grab for her younger sister, Melanie, who couldn't dodge in time, could only follow the force and keep tiptoeing. She then cried with a miserable little face and begged repeatedly:
"My ear! My ear is going to break!"
"It serves you right if it breaks!"
"Don't be so hasty, don't be so hasty."
Pulling Anna's arm and rescuing the sanctioned Melanie, Princess Veronika asked curiously:
"Melanie, why do you want the wedding bouquet?"
"I... wuwuwu... I'm not asking for myself. I want to take the bouquet to school and give it to Teacher Lisa."
Reaching out to rub her eyes, the tearful Melanie said pitifully:
"Teacher Lisa is twenty-eight years old this year. She has always been alone in the past and only recently found someone she likes. But the other person is much younger than her, and he is very hesitant about whether to be with her, so Teacher Lisa hasn't been very happy lately."
"I heard from others that the person who gets the bride's bouquet will be the next bride, so I want to give the bouquet to Teacher Lisa, wishing that she can be with the person she likes..."
Twenty-eight years old, only recently found someone she likes, but the other person is much younger than her, and he is always hesitant...
Hearing Melanie's words, Princess Veronika, who was also twenty-eight this year, couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, feeling as if she had been stabbed twice for no reason.
But seeing Melanie's pitiful little appearance, her heart softened, and she touched her little head, asking softly:
"Is that Miss Lisa's happiness very important to you?"
"Hmm."
Melanie nodded.
"Teacher Lisa is the best. No matter what trouble I cause, she doesn't scold me. When it rains, she stays in the classroom to keep us company until Sister Anna comes to pick us up... In short, Teacher Lisa is the teacher I like the most at school."
Obedient, sensible, and knows how to be grateful, and she is also clever, cute, lively, and playful. Is Li Ang's youngest sister actually such a good child?
Reaching out to rub Melanie's ear, which had been pinched red, Princess Veronika, loving the house and its crow, squatted down and promised with pity:
"Alright then, at the wedding tomorrow, you stand under the pillar on the far right, and then..."
"Wait a moment!"
Stopping the Princess who wanted to "operate behind the scenes," Anna, who knew her younger sister too well, narrowed her eyes and looked at William, who was silent on the side. She opened the bidding with practiced ease:
"William! As long as you tell me what Melanie is planning, her pocket money for this month will all be yours!"
Oh no!
Seeing the look of thought on William's face and that he seemed slightly moved, Melanie widened her eyes and gestured wildly in a position that the two adults couldn't see.
Not allowed to say! As long as you keep your mouth shut, I'll split thirty percent of the net profit with you afterward!
Seeing the gesture she made, William nodded slightly, returned a "steady" look to her, and then, amidst Melanie's relieved expression, spoke righteously to Anna:
"You have to add more money."
"Three months."
"Deal!"
Sorry, Melanie. Although thirty percent of the net profit is not bad, you have to be able to get it. For a mature politician like me, compared to high-risk windfall profits, stable pocket money that is safely in the pocket is more suitable. In Princess Veronika's stunned gaze, William seriously straightened his miniature bow tie, then took out a folded draft from his pocket and read slowly:
"According to my investigation, Melanie found Lamia from Class 2, whose family runs a flower shop, and signed a large procurement contract with her. The two of them, one providing the bouquet and the other providing materials, borrowed pocket money from everyone in the class by promising a share of the profits afterward, and hired people who know how to arrange and package flowers."
"As soon as she gets the sister-in-law's bouquet, she will immediately replicate nine hundred and ninety-nine copies, and then find those classmates who have older sisters of marriageable age and sell these 'Century Wedding' bouquets at a high price."
Betraying her younger sister without hesitation, William flipped the draft in his hand to the back and continued to expose her slowly, amidst the two adults' expressions that were quite hard to hold:
"And besides these basic models, she is also preparing to dismantle the original bouquet and use the ninety-nine original flowers inside to make ninety-nine limited-edition special bouquets. The price is tentatively set at five times that of the basic bouquet."
"Hmm... there seem to be some special models using the original bouquet ribbons, and a few collector's sets using the original bouquet silk. The prices are ten times and twenty times that of the basic model respectively, and they are not for sale to the public. You must be one of her old customers and purchase them together with ten basic bouquets."
"There seem to be some other arrangements left, but she has been avoiding me, so it's not easy to check. If you still want to know, Sister Anna, then add another month of pocket money, and I can hire classmates from Class 2 to help you check."
"No need!"
Refusing the DLC purchase suggestion provided by William, Anna, whose face was slightly dark, shifted her body, grabbed Melanie who wanted to run away, pressed her back across her knees, aimed at the desperately twisting little butt, and slapped her!
"Ah!"
"I'll let you lie!"
!.
"Ah! I... I didn't lie!"
"Still daring to quibble?"
"No! No! I really want to give Teacher Lisa the bouquet! And it's a collector's edition! I absolutely won't charge her money!"
"Then you still have to be beaten!"
"Wow! Help! Help!"
"..."
Facing Melanie's cry for help, Princess Veronika couldn't help but shake her head helplessly, showing a look of being unable to help.
Although it is a very serious problem for a child to lie and she should indeed be educated properly, she called me sister-in-law... I mean, I am her sister-in-law after all, I can't just watch this child get beaten, right?
"Alright, alright."
The Princess, who was getting married tomorrow, finally lost herself amidst Melanie's cries of "sister-in-law," reached out and took Anna's arm, saying with pity:
"She already knows she was wrong. How about... let's stop beating her for now?"
"It'll be too late if I don't beat her!"
Looking at her sister-in-law, who was just as incompetent at educating children as her own useless older brother, Anna, sensing that she might encounter double the obstruction if she wanted to educate her younger sister in the future, gritted her teeth, added force to her hand, and launched a high-speed barrage directly at Melanie's little butt.

"She already knows she was wrong, so... why don't we stop hitting her for now?"
"If we don't hit her, it'll be too late!"
After glancing at her sister-in-law—who, like her incompetent older brother, was incredibly hopeless when it came to educating children—Anna, who had a premonition that she might face double the obstruction if she wanted to discipline her younger sister in the future, gritted her teeth. She immediately added more strength to her hand and launched a high-speed combo directly onto Melanie's little bottom.
