Losing or misplacing an item belonging to her mistress was no small issue.
It was the kind of incident that could end with someone being dragged out of the castle in tears.
Having grown up in the castle among the maids, Hanna was particularly sensitive about this.
‘I was always suspicious because Lord Kyan was not ordinary.’
Seeing Kyan visiting Clodel several times a day after she was injured, Hanna didn’t mean to observe him on purpose, but seeing him more often made her scrutinize him more.
To Hanna, Kyan seemed like someone who lacked romantic experience.
In Valmont Castle, there were all sorts of rumors about Kyan’s wealth, prowess, and the incredible status that seemed beyond reach.
The actual Kyan and Lowen Castle Hanna saw seemed much more impressive in power and wealth than the rumors suggested. Perhaps the people of Valmont were reluctant to acknowledge Temnest, intentionally downplaying those aspects.
On the other hand, Kyan, who was rumored to bed three virgins in one night, didn’t seem likely to do so.
Because, he couldn’t even manage a proper conversation with Clodel, let alone three virgins.
His pattern was to burst out in anger and leave if Clodel didn’t respond as he wanted.
Previously, such incidents would mean days without seeing each other, but now, under the pretext of ‘savior,’ he visited several times a day, shamelessly returning as if the previous outburst never happened.
Those who enjoyed female company were usually good at understanding a woman’s heart.
That’s how they managed to entertain multiple women.
Sharing their bodies but not their hearts, they skillfully divided sweet nothings into pieces and distributed them among various women.
But Kyan’s lack of skill in handling women and lacking rhetoric made Hanna doubt Antoinette’s actions.
Then, today, she saw it.
Antoinette, who openly insulted and deceived Clodel, talking about her being a ‘cripple,’ suddenly covered the blue diamond ring with her hand when Kyan appeared.
Moreover, after unloading the bouquet on me, she removed the ring, and Antoinette’s fingers were left bare without it.
‘She took off the ring while pretending to give me the bouquet.’
Why?
For what reason?
Because Kyan cherished her so much that he passed on his mother’s heirloom to her?
Hanna hadn’t told Clodel about the day she ran into Antoinette.
Because that’s what Antoinette wanted.
Why bother telling her mistress something upsetting that couldn’t be resolved?
She wasn’t going to confront Kyan about it either.
She was just seething inside, but today, seeing Antoinette flee from Kyan, Hanna sensed something.
“Hand it over nicely, will you?”
“What, what are you talking about?”
“The wedding night gift of my lady.”
Antoinette’s blue eyes widened, then flickered aimlessly.
“Have you no pride? Stealing the wedding night gift a husband gave to his wife.”
“You. You. What are you talking about! Do you have proof?”
“Proof?”
Hanna grabbed Antoinette’s left wrist abruptly.
“This ring is the proof. Give it here!”
“Yikes! Are you crazy? It’s mine!”
Antoinette and Hanna got into a scuffle. Trying to snatch away the ring, Antoinette slapped Hanna’s cheek in the struggle.
Sizzle.
Fuming, Antoinette retorted.
“You. I won’t let this go. How dare a Vermonte servant lay hands on a Temnest?”
That’s when it happened.
Slap!
A sharper and fiercer sound landed on Antoinette’s cheek.
“Fine. Let’s go and confess right now. Who will Lord Kyan punish, me for hitting the thief of Temnest or you for stealing the jewel Lord Kyan gave to his lady?”
“It’s mine! Lord Kyan gave it to me, I’ve said it a hundred times!”
“Liar.”
“Me, a liar?”
“Wasn’t it also a lie when you said you spent the night with Lord Kyan?”
“What, what…?”
As Hanna smirked, Antoinette’s face contorted.
“Do you know what position Lord Kyan likes?”
In truth, Hanna didn’t know either.
“What, what does that…”
“You should have seen the petal marks persistently engraved on our lady’s body and the bruises from being tightly gripped like being bound.”
Of course, Clodel wouldn’t have shown her such things if they existed.
“How would you know how desperately they called each other’s names beyond the bedroom door all night long? I was worried they’d run out of breath. It was that intense.”
Of course, no such thing happened.
But Hanna, who had grown up in Valmont Castle among the maids, had received extensive early education, so she threw whatever came to her mind at Antoinette.
“You know nothing.”
“No! Lord Kyan wouldn’t!”
Look at that? Shocked by what I said?
Even if Kyan had the hobby of playing with women as rumored, it was clear that Antoinette was not one of them.
Daring to call my lady a ‘cripple’ after stealing, of all things?
Grinding her teeth, Hanna told Antoinette.
“Hand it over nicely, will you?”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
