Disguised as a Male Servant in the Duke's House (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
There was no way she could forget that face—the one that had stared so intently at her the day she’d walked out humiliated by Duke Valtezar.
Moreover, that piece was precisely the one he’d expressly ordered her to acquire.
Viscountess Clement gritted her teeth and raised her hand again.
“100 verangs!”
Since no auction bid had ever exceeded 100 verangs until now, the crowd stirred restlessly.
Even the flustered auctioneer, who had been blankly watching the two women’s bidding war, now cried out excitedly.
“Yes! Today’s auction just saw its first bid of 100 verangs!”
Princess Clojet glared furiously at Viscountess Clement.
Rozelia, thinking it would be advantageous to secure the piece even at some personal cost, quietly whispered to Clojet.
Upon hearing the whisper, Clojet boldly raised her hand and shouted with determination.
“200 verangs!”
Two hundred verangs was enough for an ordinary family to live for several years without working.
Certainly, it wasn’t an enormous sum for nobles, but since no one had ever spent such a vast amount at a charity event, everyone was astonished and murmuring in surprise.
Finally unable to contain herself any longer, Viscountess Clement stood up abruptly, her face flushed with anger.

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
