Madam and the Stable Keeper (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
At a coffee house in the capital, gossip about Duke Lexion’s banquet was in full swing.
“It was already surprising enough that a family newly arrived from the provinces received an invitation.”
“Do you think there’s really something going on?”
“What could Duke Lexion have discussed with them?”
Since the banquet drew everyone’s attention, every move the duke made circulated rapidly from mouth to mouth. Consequently, people were curious not only about why Duke Lexion had invited Viscount Portrion and his wife, but also why he’d summoned them alone to his study.
In a corner of the coffee house, a boy named Theos, who had been washing dishes, pricked up his ears to listen to the chatter.
‘All of this is about House Portrion.’
This information was useful to him, as he was scheduled to visit Viscount Portrion’s residence today.
After wiping his swollen, dishwater-softened hands on his apron, Theos gave a respectful bow toward his manager.
“Manager, I’m clocking out now.”
“Alright, you’ve worked hard. Is your sick younger sibling feeling any better?”
“More or less the same, I guess. Though since we switched medicines, they seem a bit livelier.”
Once outside the coffee house, he slipped on a robe imbued with magic in a secluded alleyway. Instantly, the formal-style attire made him—though still underage—appear convincingly like an adult mage.
He was currently one of the few mages in the capital accepting private commissions. To him, earning money now to afford his sibling’s expensive medicine mattered far more than any future danger.
It was fortunate he’d met a mage by chance who recognized his latent magical talent and taught him how to use it. Otherwise, his sibling would surely have died long ago without even being able to afford medicine.

After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
