Certainly! Below is the translation of the given passage:
Shriek!
The cold blade grazed Eiton’s face as it passed.
“Heugh!”
He screamed, his face turning pale as if he was about to faint.
Fortunately, what was cut was the gag that had been covering his mouth.
“Sa, save me, Count! Ah, you said you would spare me earlier!”
Eiton, now able to speak, protested through tears.
Christine quickly grabbed his chin.
“You have quite the skill in drawing, Lord Eiton.”
A cold voice reverberated through the vast hall.
Realizing what it was about, Eiton hastily made an excuse.
“It was just anger at being humiliated at Lady Hans’ party… just a prank…”
“You think you’re too old to be doodling on a fence?”
Returning from ringing the bell for Adel, Christine had discovered graffiti on her house fence.
There, a naked woman and man were intertwined obscenely.
Below it, this phrase was written.
“Save me! I’ll do whatever you ask! Please! Please!”
Tied to a chair, Eiton pleaded without rest.
“Answer the questions I’m going to ask you now properly. If there’s even a little lie, this blade will pierce you.”
Christine, brandishing a rapier, caressed its sharp blade with his finger.
At the chilling warning, Eiton swallowed hard.
“Of, of course!”
“Why did you harass the Countess?”
“That’s because… she rejected my proposal…”
“A proposal? You mean confessing even before the funeral was over?”
“I’ve always loved her!”
“So you poisoned the Count?”
Eiton quickly shook his head.
“Wh, what are you talking about! Everyone knows that the Countess poisoned her husband!”
“There’s only testimony, no evidence.”
“But the Countess fed the Count all his food.”
Christine’s hand, caressing the rapier, stopped abruptly.
“She fed him the food?”
“The Count was infirm, so the Countess always had to feed him. Of course, it was kept a secret for the honor of the family.”
It was an unexpected story.
He knew Adel had married an old Count, but he didn’t know the Count was also an infirm patient.
“…Since when?”
“Since they got married.”
Then Eiton, forgetting his own situation, started to chatter.
“Actually, the Oswalds needed someone to take care of the Count, who was no better than a corpse. So they brought in a girl from an insignificant family, made her a Countess, and put her to work. More respectable than a maid.”
“She was only a Countess in name?”
“Yes! Count Grills noticed that fact and placed my daughter there.”
Count Grills was Adel’s biological father.
“He knew and still had her married?”
“He must have thought it was an opportunity, needing business funds at the time.”
Christine was stunned, as if struck on the head.
Adel, why did you…?
Becoming nobility to live well.
Leaving without looking back at the father who abandoned her…
Was that how you managed to survive?
“Worse still, he made her take her inheritance share upfront. So, once the Count died, she would be penniless and thrown out. In other words, he sold his abandoned daughter for money. The poor Countess, who knew nothing and got married at a young age.”
Eiton, who had been talking, met Christine’s eyes and quickly shut his mouth.
It was not his place to speak.
“You seem to know a lot about the Countess’s situation.”
“Actually, she’s a distant relative on my mother’s side. Hehe.”
“So, do you really think she poisoned her husband?”
“As I told you. The Countess fed the Count all his food.”
“Who would be suspected first if her husband was poisoned? And yet, would she poison him?”
“I don’t know the details of…”
“No, you know. If you believed she poisoned her husband, you wouldn’t have proposed.”
“That, that’s…!”
Suddenly, Christine’s rapier was pointed at Eiton’s neck.
Just that was enough to make Eiton feel choked.
“Do you know why I spared you at the party? Because I couldn’t kill you without anyone knowing.”
But now it was different. This place was the chapel of a ruined monastery.
A place rarely visited by people during the cold, short days of winter.
“If you die here, you’ll be found after winter passes. Halfrotted as a mummy.”
“Heug! Co, Count, save me! Save me!”
Certainly, here’s the translation:
Eiton cried again, tears and snot flowing.
“So answer me honestly.”
“I, I really don’t know who killed him. But the madam was always devoted to the Duke, so I don’t think she would have poisoned him.”
“Then who did it?”
“I really don’t know… Gasp!”
Eiton, who was vigorously denying it, flinched when his eyes met Christine’s. Then he mumbled in a creeping voice.
“St… Stone…”
“The Duke’s eldest son?”
“Yes, there were people who saw them arguing on the day the Duke died. It was Stone who accused the madam of the crime from the beginning. Of course, it’s just my guess.”
“Ah, Stone was there.”
Mumbling to himself, Christine suddenly glared at Eiton with a fierce face.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
