Reforming the Villain Family (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 97
In the end, I returned home first by carriage. Dayban had wanted to come with me, but Clemens stopped him.
“You didn’t come here just to play, Dayban.”
I hadn’t known, but Dayban said he’d followed along to learn by observing Clemens’ inspection.
Unlike earlier when we’d all gone out together, returning alone to the mansion now left me feeling lonely.
It was all because of Silver Snake. In the carriage, I narrowed my eyes and glared at Silver Snake.
[Hmm… hmm…]
“Do you remember what I told you earlier? You mustn’t frighten people.”
[Hmm…? Did I really say that?]
“Yes, you did!”
I’d had a bad feeling about this since we left. This Silver Snake, who’d grown fond of scaring people even inside the mansion, had finally caused trouble.
[But that tiny creature struck me first! I always repay in kind what I receive.]
“Maybe they didn’t know better—and besides, they’re still just a child. Can’t you try to understand?”
[Hmph. Why should I?]
Even as I scolded it, Silver Snake pretended not to hear me and turned its gaze aside. I never expected Silver Snake to feel any remorse over the incident anyway.
But the real issue right now lay elsewhere.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”

Hahaha, Shanks is a real fool. The Empress is filthy and rude; she’s evil to the core.
What insolence! She’s their mistress, not that servant. Why do they like to act superior to those who serve them?
What insolence! Who provides them with their housing and salary? Why don’t they appreciate it? I hope the Duke comes and teaches them a lesson.
