In front of me stood an infuriated Antra, her face flushed red with anger, unable to contain her fury.
Seeing Antra more enraged than myself seemed to drain the heat from me. It was strange.
In my memories, she was a fearsome presence, like an unexpected disaster, but now, with my past life memories returned, she just seemed like an immature human, unable to control her emotions and acting like a wild colt.
‘I can’t believe I was so scared of someone like this.’
I scoffed internally and then blinked my eyes indifferently.
“Yes, did you call for me?”
“What’s the matter with you? Falling down the stairs, did something happen to your head?”
“No, but to have a conversation with mother, one has to be half-mad.”
A chuckle escaped from the line of servants at my cheeky response.
Antra and the steward glared fiercely at the servants, who quickly covered their mouths and looked around apprehensively.
The steward, giving a hint with his fish-like eyes, stepped out of the line and bowed his head.
“Please understand, our lady had a fall down the stairs yesterday and is not in her right mind. She’ll come to understand the truth once she regains her senses.”
Hah. An incredulous laugh burst out.
How many servants could actually dare to make such a slip-up about their own master?
The steward, who had established a hierarchy early in my marriage, soon realized who the real power was and groveled before Antra.
If the direct supervisor, the steward, was like this, then the servants under him must be even worse. How much I resented them for being more annoying than a meddling mother-in-law.
I smirked at the steward.
‘You’re out too.’
Meanwhile, Antra seemed somewhat appeased by the steward’s slick tongue, lazily lifting her chin.
“Hmm, well, if it’s because of an injury, I’ll forgive you this time.”
What? I furrowed my brows, sensing something off.
Usually, Antra would have been shaking me by my hair and throwing a tantrum.
‘Does she have a request or something?’
As if proving my suspicions, Antra drew out her words and then sharply asked.
“What about the child? Why did you do that?”
“Do what?”
“You reduced the budget for maintaining your dignity on your own.”
I let out a weak laugh.
‘Of course. She’s not here out of concern for her daughter-in-law, but because the money flow stopped.’
Through Bovie, Devon provided Antra with a daily allowance for luxury expenses. But today, the amount delivered by the servant was less, prompting her to hurry over.
It seemed that in addition to ordering a hitman while drunk yesterday, I had also reduced her financial support.
‘Nice.’
Smirking internally, I lazily inhaled and spoke.
“So what?”
“Don’t you know that order and principles are important in a household? You should have just stayed put. Why meddle in finances? What do you know?”
“…….”
Staring intently at Antra, I lowered my eyes and opened my mouth in a calm tone.
“Mother.”
At first glance, my submissive attitude made Antra snort arrogantly, thinking I had finally returned to the Ettrisha she knew, after behaving erratically due to the effects of alcohol.
“Fine. I won’t accept your apology, just go back to.”
“Do you think father knows about the dignity maintenance funds that Devon is providing you?”
Lady Diane, the mother-in-law, was stingy. There’s no way the man who trembles at the thought of a single Orgrant leaving his wallet would know.
Antra stiffened her face and straightened up.
“What insolence to blackmail.”
“What about the time before the marriage when you helped Uncle with business funds?”
Mrs. Antra’s eyes narrowed slightly as she hesitated.
“That, that was a commercial investment made willingly by you!”
Hah, I scoffed at her feeble excuse.
‘Shameless. She made me sit down and forcibly sign it, claiming she’d think about it.’
My scalp still hurt from when she had grabbed my hair then.
In front of me was a furiously angry Antra, her face reddened with rage and frustration.
Seeing Antra more furious than myself seemed to cool my own anger. It was quite fascinating.
In my memories, she was a fearsome entity, like an unexpected disaster, but now, with my past life’s memories returned, she appeared as an immature person, unable to control her emotions, like a wild colt.
‘I can’t believe I was so scared of her.’
I chided myself internally and then blinked my eyes nonchalantly.
“Yes, did you call for me?”
“What’s wrong with you? Did you hit your head when you fell down the stairs?”
“No, but to converse with mother, one needs to be half-mad.”
A chuckle escaped from the line of servants at my sarcastic response.
Antra and the steward glared furiously at the servants, who hurriedly covered their mouths and looked around cautiously.
The steward, signaling the servants with his fish-like eyes, stepped forward and bowed.
“Please understand, our lady isn’t in her right mind since she fell down the stairs yesterday. She’ll understand and appreciate your intentions once she regains her senses.”
Ha. I burst into incredulous laughter.
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.]
