No Evil Lady in the World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 173
Ash continued speaking.
“I knew Liriya too. I’d seen her a couple of times. She was a beautiful woman—beautiful, pure, and perfect. She even seemed that way to my eyes. But Liriya couldn’t endure it either. If she’d been the kind of woman who could withstand such things, she wouldn’t have lived in the duchy, and if she’d stayed in the capital, she might never have died like that.”
“I know nothing about Miss Liriya, but from what you’ve said, Duke, she must have been very tender-hearted.”
Ash nodded in agreement.
“Right. To think she was the sort of woman who’d occasionally tear up just from seeing a flower wilt.”
Meiana’s shoulders lifted slightly.
“I’m not like that at all. You can already see that for yourself. I’m fierce, sharp, and I won’t tolerate being attacked.”
“That’s precisely the problem. When you’re merely a maid serving Ariante, acting that way to protect her isn’t an issue at all. But if, by some chance, you become Duchess Valterminster, that could become a serious problem. Among the capital’s nobles, there are certainly good people like me—but far more who aren’t. It’s utterly tiresome.”
Meiana had been about to say that he himself wasn’t exactly a good person either, but she quietly closed her mouth. After all, this wasn’t the time for a lengthy argument with Ash…
“Thank you for your concern. But I’ll handle that matter myself.”
Ash snorted.
“I don’t believe adults when they say they’ll handle things themselves.”
“If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Excuse me. Leaving only that brief farewell, Meiana immediately turned and walked toward Sediloi’s study before Ash could say another word. Ash stood rooted to the spot, momentarily stunned as if struck by an unexpected blow, then muttered incredulously,
“Sediloi, why does that guy only have such strange people around him? Did he sprinkle some kind of potion or something?”

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!
