The Ghost Lady Of The Duke's Family (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 48
Adrian, who had just woken up and come down to the dining room, stared at Lutis with a piece of bread still in his mouth.
“Grrrmmphhgrmmphhh?”
“…One does not speak with food in one’s mouth.”
At Lutis’s reminder about dining etiquette—implying he should finish eating before speaking—Adrian vigorously chewed.
After chewing rapidly and gulping down, Adrian asked again.
“Then… am I going too, gah—ack—pffft!… going to go?”
“If we travel through the gate, it’ll still take several weeks before we reach the capital, so yes, you will.”
“Is Hyung going too?”
“…Who?”
“The Hyung in the study.”
“…”
Lutis shook his head with an expression that clearly said he had much to say but chose not to. This was only natural—he had never seemed particularly pleased about Adrian growing close to his servant in the first place.
The servant had been assigned as a permanent attendant solely to keep him under observation.
One might argue that taking him along to the territory would make surveillance easier, but that could easily be managed by assigning someone else for the task.
Lutis pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the bread crumbs from Adrian’s mouth as he spoke.
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.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!

Okay, so he can see her. Does it have something to do with the petal (・o・)
It turns out he actually hears her voice, I’m surprised.
