He hadn’t had any significant collisions with the other consorts yet, but that crazy Klein blatantly tormented Guesta. He insulted him as a scarecrow every time he saw him, and always picked a fight.
‘Our young master is indeed a scarecrow inside, but how sturdy he looks on the outside! The outside is what matters! He’s not a scarecrow!’
Tree remembered Guesta’s broad shoulders and sturdy limbs and snorted. Anyway, since the decision was made, it was time to take action.
Tree searched for a way to feed Klein the medicine and purposefully loitered around the dining area.
Then, around dinner time, the servants started to come out of the kitchen with wagons one by one.
‘The food going to that crazy guy … is that one!’
Tree, who had been prowling around like a hyena, stealthily approached when he recognized a servant he had seen a few times around Klein’s room.
Tree, who Lord Rord brought in looking only at his talents during his childhood, was naturally excellent in physical activities.
In addition, since the Lord fed Tree all sorts of good things for his son and attached the best fencing teacher, even though he couldn’t rise to fame, he was stronger than most knights. Deceiving a few servants was nothing to him.
‘It’s done.’
Tree uncorked the medicine bottle and waited, and when the chef came out of the kitchen and called the servants momentarily, he quickly poured the medicine into a soup bowl destined for Klein.
Returning to his spot and hiding his body behind a tree, he closed the medicine bottle and suppressed a bit of guilt.
‘It’s okay. That guy has done much worse to our young master.’
The effect lasts only for 1 year at most and it doesn’t cause permanent infertility. It’s just that he won’t be able to get an erection for about a year. Isn’t this a satisfying revenge?
If he can’t serve the emperor, that crazy guy might become a bit quiet for a year.
Tree nodded his head and quickly left the place.
And after Tree disappeared. The servant who was supposed to take the foodladen wagon to Klein’s place walked down the corridor whistling, not knowing what was inside.
Then.
“Just a moment!”
Someone called him and ran over. When the servant stopped and looked, it was a fellow servant who had to take the wagon to Ranamun’s room.
“Why is that?”
When the servant asked, the fellow servant apologized and asked for a favor.
“Can’t you just switch out one type of food? This soup with that soup over there.”
“Why?”
As the servant going to Klein asked in astonishment, the one going to Ranamun let out a deep sigh.
“Ranamun is extremely picky. He hates peas. But this is pea soup. That Dex’s son, I told him that Ranamun does not eat peas, but he boiled it into pea soup again. I’m sure that he’s getting money from one of the other consorts.”
The servant going to Klein clucked his tongue and placed the mushroom soup from his cart onto Ranamun’s plate.
“I understand. Even if the people above us lose their temper, we’re the ones who suffer, so we have to help each other.”
“Thank you. Really, thank you!”
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.”
