My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 21
Afterward, Coon dismissed everyone—Kalis, his own royal guards excluded, and all other attendants.
Left utterly alone, Chloe looked around. Though the number of people had noticeably dwindled, the tension had only grown thicker.
Just one person.
Could the gaze of merely one man be this oppressive? Even combined, the stares of the departed knights could never match the intensity of the man before her.
“Lift your head, Princess.”
At the Emperor’s command, Chloe raised her head.
Now that she thought about it, that title hadn’t been used in a long while. Ever since her marriage, she was no longer considered part of the royal family but rather a member of the ducal household.
Chloe wondered why the Emperor addressed her differently than usual—she was typically called “Lady.” Surely, he wasn’t mocking her.
Yet the atmosphere was far from suitable for asking, so she remained silent and waited for his next words.
“Now that I think of it, this is the first time we’ve spoken like this.”
“Thank you for granting me this honored moment.”
“It’s about something else—recently, a maid was found severely injured in the forest. She seems to belong to you, Princess.”
“A maid?”
Chloe immediately questioned him.
According to Coon’s description, there could only be one person fitting that circumstance.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
Well done girl. Direct hit in the middle of the forehead.
Yes, she is your mistress who revealed the secret. Helena proves stupid, but the Duke, as usual, will forgive her after two tears.
