The Ghost Lady Of The Duke's Family (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 98
Of all times, could my words really slip out like this?
Aeli, who had rolled her eyes trying to gauge the mood, slowly closed her mouth—unconsciously left agape—under Noel’s suddenly menacing aura.
Well, regardless of anything else, she clearly understood one thing: this was a crisis.
‘Would it… would it work if I claimed it was a mistake?’
His gaze had never been particularly kind toward her to begin with.
But after her recent remark, it had grown even harsher.
Of course—it wasn’t as though she expected Noel to see her as anything but the worst kind of human, perhaps even someone mentally unhinged who babbled nonsense. She had no right to complain.
When their eyes met, Aeli fidgeted restlessly, unable to keep her hands still.
Just from his expression, she felt grateful she hadn’t already been roasted alive.
Fumbling with her hair in search of an excuse, Aeli let out a deep sigh inwardly.
‘Why did I have to let my mind wander…!’
She’d originally stayed silent about revealing her true identity to Noel for a reason.
She’d thought it best to wait until the conversation ended—clearly not the right moment to interrupt—before broaching the subject.

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!
