My Mistress Became My Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 172
Creeeak—the side door, usually used by the servants, opened. Lily stepped inside carefully, making no sound, and her eyes widened as she recognized the maid who had opened the door for her. If her memory served her right, this was the same maid who had once delivered Harold’s letter to her.
“So this maid was one of your people.”
Harold, who had followed her in, nodded upon hearing Lily mutter this to herself as if in thought.
“Yes. I recruited her in advance, anticipating situations like this.”
“Then it’s possible that Earl Stacy has also recruited servants from Earl Brayden’s mansion or Duke Maximilian’s estate.”
“Most likely. That’s why I never allow anyone into my private spaces unless absolutely necessary—and even then, only when I’m present.”
Harold added with a playful tone that the housekeeper and others often complained about how difficult it was to clean because of this. Though his remark eased her tension slightly, it tightened again the moment she laid eyes on Earl Stacy’s mansion.
“There’s no turning back now, even if you regret it.”
Lily stared firmly at the mansion, and Harold wrapped an arm around her waist as he spoke.
“We’re already inside the mansion anyway. Besides, I need your help.”
That was precisely why Harold had agreed to let her come along. Though it was somewhat risky, having Lily with him increased their chances of finding the treasure Madison Benjamin had hidden. As for the danger—he would simply protect her himself.
“I don’t regret coming here.”
Lily leaned her head against Harold’s broad back and murmured softly.
“It’s just… the thought of the two of us searching this enormous mansion feels overwhelming. If we had plenty of time, maybe it’d be different—but we don’t. We have to find it before dawn…”
Adding to their difficulty was the critical constraint that they must not be discovered by anyone else. Would they really be able to find it? Lily’s expression darkened. She also worried that even if they managed to locate it after great effort, it might turn out to be worthless.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
