The Commander's Useless Wife Is Actually a Hidden Boss!-Chapter 26 - 0: Words that Kill the Heart

"Lady, as long as you can save me, my life is yours, I swear to devote my loyalty to you until I die," Lina suddenly looked up, her face resolute.

"Stand up, what are you doing kneeling?" Lin Fu said coldly, putting away her smile.

"I was wrong, please, Lady, save me. I'll never dare again. Just give me a way to live, and I'll do anything," Lina, regretting her decisions painfully, had been lured by a moment's greed for money, not only losing her job but also facing life-threatening danger.

"You've come to the wrong person, I simply don't have the ability to save you," Lin Fu said and was about to leave.

"Lady," Lina cried out anxiously, "we are now in the same boat. The person who secretly instructed me to spy on you and trip you up now wants to kill me to silence me, and they will certainly want to kill you later."

Lin Fu stopped.

"Lady, I can be of use to you. As long as you keep me, I will prove my worth and never disappoint you."

Lina was prepared to die.

But she didn't want to die just like that, and remembered the words the Lady had given in the study, which made her suddenly realize.

The Lady had guessed it from that moment.

"How can I save you?" Lin Fu frowned, "You think I would risk my own safety to save you and offend the steward?"

"No, Lady, it's easy for you to save me. Through the ages, the Duchess of Imoles has had her own private military force loyal only to the Duchess. These troops and weapons resources were supposed to be handed over to you by the old Lady, but the old Lady disapproved of the Major General marrying you, so she deliberately returned to her estate at this time. She did so to deliberately delay your control over your own military forces."

Lina blurted out what the Fu Family had been deliberately hiding, then nervously faced Lin Fu's suddenly sharp eyes, yet she did not flinch.

Clearly, she was not lying.

Lin Fu's expression suddenly changed, her tone cooled by three degrees, "You're saying the old Lady returned to the estate because she didn't want to hand over the military forces she controlled?"

"Yes," Lina shivered violently, feeling an increasing pressure on her.

"Fu Tian, Fu Yue, the steward, and all your servants and guards know about this?"

"...Yes."

Lin Fu suddenly closed her eyes, her dense, curled eyelashes trembling lightly like butterfly wings. After a long moment, she opened her eyes and clenched her fists tightly.

The feeling in her heart was not pleasant.

She didn't want anything from the Fu Family. Being able to enter the Military Academy and start from the grassroots after graduation was satisfying for her. This era was too vast and magnificent for her – she didn't want to confine herself to a mansion.

But her greatest disdain was for deception, especially when everyone knew but her, and because she knew the old Lady was not around, she had been naively carefree.

This also explained why the mansion's servants and guards had treated her that way.

Lina pursed her lips, steeled her heart, and added, "It's exactly because you don't control the military power that belongs to you, that I dared to play tricks secretly. Basically, everyone thinks you are not up to the role, just a temporary placeholder, and sooner or later the Duchess's position will belong to its rightful lady."

As Lin Fu walked out, the makeup she had painstakingly applied now seemed somewhat ridiculous.

But she did not respond to Lina's provocative and heart-stabbing words.

"What's this about the Duchess's private military force? Tell me about it," Lin Fu turned around and elegantly sat on a bench nearby, her hands resting on her knees, looking down on Lina.

Her every move, unintentionally exuding an aristocratic grace, filled Lina with both alarm and delight.

She had come to the right person indeed; Miss Lin Fu was definitely not the farmer's daughter as rumored on the Star Network.

"Yes," Lina bowed respectfully, and in this respect, she certainly had a steward's demeanor.

"The Fu Family in the Imoles Star System possesses its own Cosmic Fleet, a private military loyal only to the Duke. Included in this fleet is a legion of troops that belong solely to the Duchess, loyal only to the Duchesses throughout the ages."

"A legion?" Lin Fu thought she had misunderstood.
