The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 199
“The doctor came by today, didn’t he? You look unwell—did something happen outside?”
Cledwin, having finished his work outside and just returned home for the evening, asked worriedly as he entered the dining room where Neris was sitting.
Earlier that day, Neris had secluded herself alone in her room like someone who couldn’t even control her own body—but now she had regained her usual composed appearance. Calmly, she evaded his question.
“I heard some intriguing news—an absolutely astonishing piece. I’ve been so preoccupied thinking how to use it that Joan must have misunderstood and sent a doctor.”
Gilbert must have guessed that the visitor was no mere errand-runner but an actual physician and reported it accordingly. With someone as promising as he was, they’d surely have investigated him separately—and above all, no ordinary servant would spend such a long time in the Grand Duchess’s chamber.
Cledwin greeted Neris with a kiss and sat down beside her. Though proper etiquette dictated that husband and wife sit at opposite ends of a long dining table like this one, no one in this household paid such customs any heed.
“What news?”
At his question, Neris’s eyes gleamed sharply.
“I told you before that Megara Rikeandros isn’t the Marquise’s biological daughter, right? This generation’s court seems full of bold people beyond just the Marquis. They recklessly scattered infertility-inducing drugs around like chicken feed, targeting other people’s precious daughters.”
Cledwin raised an eyebrow. Not only Dora, but even Talprin had stopped reporting to him directly about Neris’s private orders—making it unclear who their true master really was.
“Who was targeted?”
“Women who’d approached Abelus.”
“Then that means the culprit must be from House Grunehals.”
“Exactly. I’ve already confirmed it with the Dowager Lady.”
A twisted smile flickered across Neris’s face. Seeing it, Cledwin’s eyes widened.

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.
