You Can't Catch the Wind (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 71
Ael grabbed Jena and stepped out through the front gate.
Looking back, Baron Loitz was shouting at the top of his lungs as he chased after them.
If he reached the main road and called the security forces, they’d be caught for sure.
“Jena, do you know anyone or have a place to hide?”
“I-I do. A maid I’m close with lives very nearby… Her employers said they’d be away at their villa for quite a while. Let’s run there, okay?”
Ael shook her head.
“Jena, listen carefully. Go straight there and ask your friend to hide you. Tell her I suddenly hit the baron, and you were just watching. Say you had nothing to do with it—you only ran away because you were scared.”
“What? What are you saying? What about you, Miss?”
Even in her confusion, Jena realized what Ael was planning to do.
“If someone has to take the blame anyway, it’s better if only one person does. Since I’m the one who hit that man, it should be me.”
“Miss!”
Jena clutched Ael’s arm. Ael’s firm tone felt unfamiliar.
She’d just arrived from the countryside, lacking a letter of recommendation, so she couldn’t get work in a good household. That’s why she’d come to Viscount Aradis’s estate when they urgently needed staff regardless of references.
Other noble houses were tough, too, but the Aradis household paid low wages, employed few servants, and piled on endless work.
Then, when people suddenly started quitting, all that extra work fell onto her.

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.”
