Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 177
The tense situation that erupted at the Lambouyé Orphanage ultimately ended with a forceful suppression. Just as Ottavio de Contarini and Ippolito de Mare had drawn their swords and stood facing off against the paupers, the orphanage staff rushed out and brought the matter to a close.
Wielding clubs and dousing the crowd with cold water, the staff violently quelled the unrest. The people in the food line—mostly children with their mothers or teenagers—scattered in every direction like rats fleeing a torch, vanishing as if they’d never raised their voices.
“I am truly ashamed!”
Mr. Albani, currently in charge of the Lambouyé Orphanage, offered a deeply respectful apology to Countess Balzo, chairwoman of the Order of the Silver Cross. Since Queen Marguerite’s passing, the position of orphanage director had remained vacant, leaving Albani—the administrative director—as the highest-ranking official among the staff, aside from the director’s seat itself.
“To think that such a dangerous incident occurred while you noble souls were acting out of generosity toward our residents… I have no words to express my regret, even if I had ten tongues.”
As Albani lowered himself humbly, Baroness Loredan opened her mouth to lash out further—but Countess Balzo deliberately raised a graceful hand to stop her.
“Violeta. That’s enough.”
“But…!”
“A noble’s virtue lies in forgiving the ignorance of uneducated folk when they cause trouble.”
Behind Director Albani, Camondo, the head of planning and finance, barely restrained the urge to strike Countess Balzo. It infuriated him that they themselves had provoked the entire mess, yet now acted loftily as though accepting an apology were their due. Still, Albani remained perfectly steady, bowing his head lower.
“I am deeply grateful for your ladyship’s magnanimity.”
At that moment, Ippolito arrogantly interjected. He never missed a chance to show off or impress the ladies.
“What about the ringleader? Are we just going to leave the instigator alone? If Ottavio hadn’t been here, Isabella might have been hurt!”
Seizing the opening, Baroness Loredan—who had been simmering—burst forward.
“Exactly! The ringleader must be punished! Those uncouth, wretched beggars!”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
