The Maid's Contract Marriage (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 172
“No, I’m not saying I’ll bring in a bastard and register them in the family register. What’s bothering you so much?”
The Marquis, exasperated, placed his hands on his waist and stared at Matilda.
“You’re getting a daughter for free—what’s there to refuse?”
Matilda, seated on the sofa, pressed her throbbing temples and glared at the Marquis.
Antonio clicked his tongue and sighed inwardly.
‘Oh, come on. Giving that look to your own husband?’
Now it was clear whom Christina took after.
No wonder Arthur refused Christina and insisted on living with that maid’s child.
But since Matilda’s continued behavior would be problematic for the plot, Antonio Julius exercised patience.
“Listen here—you didn’t tell me to do this; it was Christina herself who offered. Why are you glaring at your husband like that?”
Antonio truly found his wife exasperating.
“At this moment, the only factions friendly toward us are the Imperial family and the Klein clan. To solidify our position, nothing works better than marriage alliances. The noble marriage ban will soon be lifted, and right now, we’re the only house that hasn’t jumped into the marriage market. In this situation, a perfectly healthy daughter just rolls right into our laps—what greater fortune could there be?”
“……”
Antonio tried to soothe Matilda.
After all, he needed his wife to participate in high society.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”

Kyle met their gazes briefly, then lowered his head quietly before continuing.

It wasn’t anyone’s fault but her own—she simply hadn’t found the courage.
