All of this is connected?
How are the Princess Meiri Kettven of the Minasarek Kingdom, the lady of the Witley family, and Hooches Alford connected?
“There will be a lot that Hooches Hooches wants to talk about. Isn’t that right, Hooches Hooches?”
In response to Rishi’s question, Alford nodded vigorously.
“I have to tell the truth. Otherwise…”
Rishi’s eyes lingered on Kay for a moment before turning back to Alford.
Alford knew well what Rishi was trying to say.
“Eldhert. Unleash the guy’s muzzle.”
As Eldhert loosened the muzzle, Alford shouted.
“This is all that woman… No, there, Brittany ordered! I refused, but that woman ordered everything!”
“What? What are you talking about?”
“Would Witley order something to Hooches? Never… She didn’t tell her own brother to do something so terrible, did she?”
“No way. No matter what, you shouldn’t do such a thing, even if you hate it.”
“If that’s true, he gave up being human.”
“The guy is definitely trying to divert attention and unnecessarily grabbing Brittany’s ankle.”
There was a commotion among the people.
Rishi waited for the disturbance to settle for a moment, but Brittany couldn’t endure it.
“What is this talk, Hooches Hooches! We barely know each other!”
“Barely know each other? Iris… No, when the Green Countess married the Count, she sent me here to spread rumors about it. Also, she came to me this time and gave me various instructions.”
“That’s rude, Hooches. Do you even know who I am right now?”
“Ha! Rude? I almost died twice because of you. It’s a matter of life and death. Do you think I’d die alone?”
“Why do you say it’s because of me? It happened because Hooches couldn’t properly manage the lower clothes. How can you blame me for this? If our father finds out, he’ll probably just stay quiet, right?”
“If he doesn’t stay quiet, what will you do? Does your dad even know that you’re going around like this?”
Alford found Kay much scarier than the Duke, even if the Duke was right next to him.
No, even if the Witley Duke was right next to him, he wouldn’t be as scary as Kay.
Alford couldn’t even turn his eyes toward Kay, who was staring at them from a distance.
“Iris. I didn’t do it. Did Hooches Hooches conspire with each other and frame me?”
Brittany turned her anger toward Rishi.
Rishi smiled cunningly and looked back at Eldhert.
When Eldhert pulled out a letter from Alford’s arms, he recited it in a sweet voice.
“Hooches Hooches. I don’t know how thrilled I was to hear that you came to Decote City to attend this party. My husband is far away now. The night is so lonely, I wish you were by my side. Iris.”
[Swallow]The room was so quiet that you could hear someone swallowing saliva.
“What’s that? So, in the end, the Countess Green dragged in Hooches Alford?”
“This is insane… The Countess Green said she would reveal the truth, but in the end, it seems she got caught trying to commit adultery.”
“What a mess. It must be so embarrassing.”
“Wow, what’s good about that pig-like guy? I’d rather meet someone like me.”
Amidst various thoughts, Brittany rushed at Eldhert and snatched the letter in his hand.
Brittany stared at the letter for a while and said, “This… Iris’s handwriting matches. Iris, did you send a letter to Hooches Alford to lure him in? When the Countess Green left her house for a moment…? She said not to do such things after getting married.”
Brittany didn’t miss the opportunity. Rishi smiled.
“As you may or may not know, the ink in each room of our Green Count’s mansion has slightly different colors and materials. We bought a different ink for each room from the store a while ago, and we put one in each room.”
Rishi slowly walked towards Brittany and took the letter from her hands.
“The color of this ink… Jamie?”
As Jamie approached and checked the letter, he said, “This is the ink placed in the second room at the end of the west wing.”
“Who is currently staying in the second room at the end of the west wing?”
“Lady Witley is staying there, Countess Green.”
People had blank expressions.
Some sharp-minded people realized, but most people had expressions that they didn’t understand what Rishi was talking about.
Brittany was the same.
“What, what is this…?”
“It’s easy to imitate handwriting, but what about this ink? Why was the ink in your room used to write this letter?”
“Oh!”
“Oh my!”
Only now did people who realized gasp.
On the contrary, Brittany’s complexion turned pale.
“That, that… I don’t know either. You have the same ink in your room, right?”
“No. I can go and check now.”
“You probably changed it by now.”
“Not at all. I bought one bottle of ink for each type, and I can show you the receipt. If you don’t believe it, I can ask the store owner to testify.”
Brittany’s pupils shook.
“You… You, trying to trap me…!”
“Trap? Why would I trap you? If the ink in the letter sent to Hooches Alford under Iris’s name matches the ink in your room, who is trying to trap whom? You, who used the ink from your room? Or me, who almost did something terrible because of a letter I never sent?”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
