Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 73
The moment Ariadne saw the marquise-cut red ruby, she nodded toward Sancha, who was standing by Isabella’s door. Sancha immediately understood what her mistress wanted and dashed off to Ariadne’s study in a flash.
“What in the world is this?”
It was a lament-like question from Cardinal de Mare upon spotting the red ruby—a voice half resigned to hearing yet another name of some household’s daughter dragged through the mud. But this time, it wasn’t Isabella who answered the question, but Ariadne.
“In high society, there’s a rumor circulating that the red ruby missing from Marchese Campa’s bracelet is now in Isabella de Mare’s possession.”
Cardinal de Mare was so startled that he instantly turned his gaze to Isabella’s face.
He had already heard the rumor that his eldest daughter was Marchese Campa’s mistress, but he hadn’t yet heard such a recent, damning detail. Good heavens—physical evidence had surfaced.
This time, Isabella utterly failed to control her expression, her face twisted as she glared at the red ruby.
Her immediate target of blame was Arabella.
“Hey! Why are you touching other people’s things without permission!”
Isabella rushed to the dressing table and lashed out at Arabella.
“Ouch!”
“Why are you rummaging through other people’s belongings, huh?!”
Arabella shrieked as her shoulder was struck hard, only to be drowned out by Isabella’s furious voice. Isabella’s soprano screech, in turn, was swallowed by Cardinal de Mare’s thunderous roar of utter exhaustion.
“Stop tormenting your innocent sister! Enough—!”
The cardinal bellowed and fixed Isabella with a fearsome glare.

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.
