Madam and the Stable Keeper (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 41
“That’s the Lexion, alright—the very house I was reporting on in the capital not long ago.”
Naturally, Edith and everyone at Homann Clinic had been faithfully reading Benjamin’s articles, so they couldn’t possibly be ignorant of House Lexion.
House Lexion was, after all, one of the most prestigious founding noble families, and its duke was even being touted as the next emperor.
Yet more famous than its immense power were its nickname—‘The Monster Ducal House’—and the dark rumors swirling around the family.
‘They say the family systematically abuses their children to refine and enhance the magical power inherited through Lexion blood.’
A house that regarded individual lives as mere components for the family’s advancement. When Benjamin, who had just been speaking about Walter’s mother, brought up the Lexions, a sense of foreboding overwhelmed her.
“I heard their firstborn daughter—the duke and duchess’s eldest—was born with so much magical power that she was given a death sentence from birth.”
“A death sentence?”
“They say she eventually died in a carriage accident… Lately, with more factions pushing to install the Duke of Lexion as the next emperor, all sorts of rumors about His Grace have been spreading.”
Edith nodded.
Even as far as Portrion territory, whispers had reached them—that Empress Patricia was maneuvering to place Claude, the late emperor’s underage son with her, on the throne as a puppet under her regency, deploying agents and printing pamphlets to that end.
Naturally, the empress would have smeared the duke, her chief rival, with every nasty rumor she could concoct.
“In truth, back at the capital newspaper, I was assigned to investigate one of those rumors about the duke—about his eldest daughter… What was her name again? Anyway, it claimed the Princess Consort secretly gave birth to a child.”
“She died in a carriage accident, and even if she hadn’t, she was supposedly terminal.”
“Right. That’s what everyone believes, but some insist the pregnant princess faked the carriage crash to escape.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
