My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 73
Certain emphasized words reached my ears before the awkward form of address did.
‘……So it was Lady Winter who said it.’
Should I have given her another handful of chocolate? Or perhaps some candy?
‘I did expect it, though.’
I had no intention of blaming Winter. After all, choosing Coon over Chloe was perfectly reasonable.
“Mischievous? I was only worried His Majesty might be concerned…”
“So you’re going to claim you deliberately made it a secret out of worry for His Majesty?”
Chloe, who had been diligently preparing her defense, helplessly closed her mouth—the following sentence had sealed off any possibility of retreat.
“……It concerns Jane.”
In the end, she had no choice but to tell the truth.
She could have just said it from the beginning, but she’d deliberately stayed silent, fearing precisely this situation.
After all, His Majesty was already so busy—what if he came out personally to greet them?
“I was thinking the same thing anyway.”
“……Then why ask me as if you suspected I was hiding something or involved with a man?”
“Because I can’t be certain.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!

Sorry, what? Is this an insult? Why wouldn’t she do so?
Given the preceding paragraph, this one ought to start with, “As such,…” or similar.
Plot twist! For me, because I skimmed a couple chapters.
