Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 323
“Ari… I have to go back quickly.”
Ever since Gabrielle had entered the De Mare family’s drawing room, she kept glancing around nervously. She looked extremely uneasy.
“What’s wrong, Gabi?”
“I’m sorry…”
As soon as Gabrielle received Princess Bianca’s ball invitation, she had joyfully sent yellow tulips in reply. She had been among the first to confirm her attendance. Yet now, she struggled to speak.
“I think I won’t be able to attend Princess Bianca’s ball.”
Ariadne felt her palms growing damp. Even Gabrielle de Montefeltro was skipping Princess Bianca’s debutante ball.
According to the list handed over earlier by Baroness Gianelli, quite a number of elder matrons had already declined attendance. But if Gabrielle pulled out, it would now become clear that younger ladies were also withdrawing.
If Gabrielle didn’t go, over half a dozen young matrons would likely follow suit. Ariadne asked cautiously,
“…May I ask why?”
Gabrielle nodded at the question—it was exactly what she’d hoped for. She’d come here to ease her guilt. Lowering her voice, she asked,
“You know there’s another party happening on the same day, right?”
Ariadne had indeed heard rumors of a gathering scheduled for the same date. One elderly noblewoman who’d sent her invitation had declined, citing her planned attendance at a charity event that day.
At the time, Baroness Gianelli had been furious—but it wasn’t unusual for elderly ladies to find debutante balls, which required standing for long hours, rather taxing.
Considering the age of the noblewoman who sent that reply, choosing a modest, seated charity tea over a grand debutante ball wasn’t strange at all.

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.

Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
