It was truly a day that flowed in an unpredictable manner. Just going out for errands, who would have thought it would turn into such a tumultuous day?
Aelfrie opened one of the boxes she brought with Jena. Most of the boxes were ordered by the master to be moved to his study for further verification, but he allowed the food to be taken to the basement kitchen.
“Jena, I have something for you.”
“What? What is it?”
At Aelfrie’s words, Jena eagerly raised her head, wondering if there was something else grand. Aelfrie picked up one item from the box with a smile and handed it to Jena.
“It’s a snack from the empire. I really wanted to give it to you…”
“Kyaa! Look how pretty! And it smells so good!”
Jena took the snack Aelfrie gave her, jumped around the room, and then held it carefully in case it broke, constantly looking at it in wonder.
Her excitement continued after that.
Aelfrie could understand her feelings. Not only tea and snacks but even fruits she had never seen before were packed in the box.
But what made Aelfrie happier than all those gifts was something else.
Aelfrie’s eyes were drawn to the bag placed on the worktable. Inside, there was a book she could now fully understand. She had listened to explanations all afternoon…
To gain the knowledge she had longed for so ardently like this.
Aelfrie took out a snack from the box and tasted it. The flavor of butter along with just the right amount of sweetness and richness filled her mouth.
With an utterly happy face, Aelfrie thought.
Today, truly, she had been gifted a perfect day.
(This is a time divider.)
Two weeks had passed since that noisy day.
For the first few days, the mansion was enveloped in an ambiguous atmosphere, unlike anything experienced before. It was the first time Aelfrie had been the focus in this mansion, after all.
The few servants gathered in groups of two or more and chatted about the incredible gifts they had seen that day.
When Jena joined them, even the work was temporarily put aside as the gossip heated up.
Lord and Lady Aradis scolded them loudly, commanding them to go back and do their work.
But when they were alone, neither could hide the subtle smiles creeping onto their faces.
It was because most of the luxurious goods, excluding the edibles, that Aelfrie received ended up in their possession.
Goods coming out of the boxes from Ash Trading Company were quite diverse. When Lord Aradis saw a luxury fountain pen, he naturally took it as his own.
Lady Aradis was no different.
She grabbed a small handbag, saying it was fortunate as she had been planning to buy one just like it, and smiled.
Thus, the delicate and ornate embroidered handbag became Lady Aradis’s.
Other female items were naturally taken by Elize.
She did say, in a roundabout way, that to heal her heart hurt by Aelfrie’s tardiness, these gifts should be handed over to her as a sign of goodwill.
That way, the presents from Ash Trading Company were torn apart and went into the hands of others.
Aelfrie wasn’t surprised or sad. She had anticipated this.
More than half of the tea generously given by Ash Trading Company was used by Elize as gifts when invited to tea parties at other houses.
The snacks, too, were mostly handed over to Lord and Lady Aradis and Elize due to their persuasion that they couldn’t be kept for long and should be shared as an act of grace.
Even though they were all taken away, enough snacks remained to sweeten a few hard afternoons with Jena.
Aelfrie was satisfied with just that.
The one who was angry was Jena.
She couldn’t hide her anger as she exclaimed, “Those are all Miss’s! They’re gifts for Miss!”
Of course, she only raised her voice in the kitchen, but Aelfrie was already satisfied with having someone who cared for her.
There was also another impact of the gifts from Ash Trading Company on the mansion.
Elise had become a little more generous to Aelfrie.
On the day of the commotion, after he had left, Aelfrie handed Elise the paper bag that I had been carrying. Inside were filled with highquality stationery that Nisha had taken good care of.
As soon as the bag was opened, a faint scent of snowdrop flowers rose.
When Elise took them out, they were neatly organized in smaller envelopes with beautiful and ornate patterns, each separated by type.
From the delicate colors to the faintly engraved patterns.
Even Elise, who had used quality products, had hardly touched them.
She immediately wrote a letter on them and sent it to the Duke, and a reply came back faster than usual.
Of course, the content was not as long as before, but there was praise for Elise’s sense of choosing beautiful stationery in the brief content.
She had exchanged letters with the Duke many times, but it was perhaps the first time that he praised her like this, and Elise felt like she could soar to the heavens.
After all, Elise was the daughter of the Count who was guarding Riena’s boundary day.
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.
