I Received The First Time Of My Extraordinary Superior (9 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 48
“After the wedding, I intend to pass on my marquess title to you. So Lady Marien must take good care of the Redford household as its mistress.”
I had expected him at most to mention Marien’s commoner status.
But now he was talking about her becoming the mistress responsible for managing everything—from the family’s major and minor affairs to the staff and even the mansion itself. If Logan had truly expected that of me, he should have just asked me to resign from the Imperial Guard.
Just as I suspected, Logan stepped in and drew the line himself.
“Grandfather, let’s discuss that matter later—between you and me.”
Thud. The Marquess Redford struck the floor with his cane, raising his voice as if scolding Logan for his foolishness.
“If you want to keep a flower beside you, don’t just stick it in a vase—soon enough it will wilt. You must plant it in a sunny garden, where it can bloom for a long time. And even then, you must carefully tend to it so its roots take hold and it adapts properly. Tch!”
In short, he was telling Logan not to hide his wife away but to let her live as the proper mistress of the main house.
Considering that Marquess Douglas Redford was famously short-tempered and blunt, the fact that he was speaking so indirectly… clearly meant he was minding his grandson’s feelings.
“You keep mentioning ‘mistress’ just so you can bring Marien and me here to live, don’t you?”
“Of course! So Lady Marien won’t find herself in trouble when you’re not around. She needs to learn proper etiquette here and grow stronger…”
“That’s unnecessary meddling.”
“Who are you to say that?”
Neither grandfather nor grandson gave an inch, and their verbal clash soon turned into a glaring contest.
Both men wore stern, tense expressions—as if the fate of the entire family hung in the balance—without once asking for the opinion of the person actually involved.

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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
