My Mistress Became My Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 171
“You’re saying that Sir Madison Benjamin hid treasure at Earl Stacy’s Mansion?”
Harold asked, slightly flustered. Lily nodded, fully understanding his reluctance to believe her right away.
“Yes. When I piece together the letters hidden in the paintings, they clearly spell out ‘Earl Stacy’s Mansion’… but I can’t be certain. If letters were also hidden in the missing paintings or torn sections, it could form a completely different meaning.”
At those words, Harold re-examined the characters Lily had written down but couldn’t decipher a single thing—they were in Garthan script. To his eyes, they looked like random scribbles.
“Besides, Father almost never hid treasures anywhere other than our shared mansion. At most, when visiting elsewhere, he’d playfully hide something in nearby bushes or inside a tree… I’m a little baffled myself. I even doubt whether it’s truly there.”
Even if the treasure were indeed there, it posed a problem. She’d already abandoned the idea of arranging a private meeting with Earl Stacy due to the contract dispute, as the risk was too great—let alone searching his mansion. And without knowing the exact hiding place, it was even more difficult.
Yet she couldn’t simply give up. That treasure might be the very item the Second Prince was desperately seeking. Lily wanted to verify what exactly was hidden at Earl Stacy’s Mansion, but no clever plan came to mind, no matter how hard she thought.
“What should we do now?”
“It’s not something we can easily set aside. Let’s search the place ourselves first.”
When Harold replied in a light tone, as if suggesting an outing, Lily blinked widely in surprise and asked,
“How? Earl Stacy would never permit us to rummage through his mansion… and if we recklessly go poking around and accidentally reveal there’s something hidden there, and they find it before we do—that’d be disastrous.”
“We’ll make sure that doesn’t happen. Besides, we don’t need Earl Stacy’s permission.”
“Do you have some clever trick up your sleeve?”
“I intend to lure the enemy with another enemy.”

Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
