Chapter 2 The Carseido Ducal Estate Lionel sat on the sofa in the drawing room, trying to calm her nerves. A little while later, the door clicked open and someone entered. He was a young man with brown hair and green eyes, giving him a friendly and approachable appearance. “Miss Lionel Prensia?” “Yes, that’s me.” “Thank you for coming such a long way.

Prologue “You’re fired.” The handsome, white-haired man sitting across from me delivered the news matter-of-factly. “What? Why?” “The advantage of being a contract worker is that you can be fired for practically any reason. Surely you knew that?” I had always assumed that because I was a contract worker, things like labor unions had nothing to do with me. “However, if you wish to remain as my personal physician, I can hire you under a new contract starting today.” While…

Chapter 20 The servants turned pale with fear and hurriedly lowered their heads. Madam Wang clenched her lips tightly, memorizing each of their faces one by one. If she had her way, she would have gotten rid of them immediately. However, there were simply too many servants who had come out to clear the snow in front of the residence in preparation for receiving mourners. At a glance, there were more than ten of them. If there had only been one or two, she could have dealt with them quietly…-

Chapter 19 However, if they carelessly said something here and accidentally admitted that they had been the ones who ordered Yun Shuyin’s kidnapping, they would only end up falling into their own trap. Wang-shi hid Yun Zhouyue behind her and stared fiercely at Yun Shuyin before speaking coldly. “Do not get too smug. This time, we let our guard down and fell into your scheme, but the marriage to His Highness the Fourth Prince will ultimately belong to our Yue’er. Once our Yue’er marries into…

Chapter 18 “I will absolutely keep my mouth shut and not let a single word slip. Thank you, Old Madam. Thank you.” Not long after the steward left, the smile disappeared from Old Madam Yun’s face. She turned her prayer beads for a moment before calling Aunt Qin over and giving her a quiet order. “Later, bring a physician here yourself and have him examine Steward Yu’s wounds. Then secretly prepare a bowl of medicinal decoction and quietly send Steward Yu on his way. It must be handled…

Chapter 17 Old Madam Yun continued to coax and persuade her. “Since Madam Wang and your elder sister have done wrong, I shall make them pay five thousand taels of silver. As it happens, I also have a set of top-quality jade-and-gold hair ornaments, so I will give those to you as well. From now on, if anyone in the Marquis’s Residence dares to bully you, come and tell your grandmother. I will stand up for you.” Yun Shuyin thought to herself that this old madam truly knew how to calculate every…

Chapter 16 Woon Ryeo-an thought of his young son, and hesitation once again appeared on his face. He genuinely cherished his son. Madam Wang had also stayed faithfully by his side for many years and had endured hardships with him in his youth, so he could not help feeling reluctant to abandon her. Woon Ju-wol had likewise never expected Old Madam Woon to actually drive Madam Wang to the brink of death, much less take back her marriage arrangement and return it to Woon Sook-eum. She hurriedly…

Chapter 15 Wang had, in the end, become a “witness” who proved Yun Sukeum’s complete innocence with her own words! Wang was so furious that it felt as though she were bleeding tears of blood from her heart. She had spent her entire life deceiving others, yet she had never imagined that Yun Sukeum would one day catch her in her own trap. What was even more infuriating was that Yun Sukeum, who had once been naive and obedient, had suddenly become as cunning as a fox. With just a few words, she…

His Highness the Fourth Prince is handsome and noble, with a gentle and considerate temperament as well. Moreover, this marriage was personally bestowed by His Majesty. How could I possibly have another man in my eyes when I have someone like him?” Old Madam Yun believed these words as well. The Fourth Prince was not only noble in…

Chapter 13 At Woon Sook-eum's words, Woon Ju-wol's heart sank. She hurried forward, tears streaming down her face as she said, “Are you really saying that isn't what happened? But that man clearly said that he had an appointment with you that day, and the two of you were even embracing each other. When I tried to stop him, he struck me and shouted that he would kill me if I followed you any further…” Hearing this, Woon Sook-eum let out a cold laugh. Woon Ju-wol was indeed cunning. Fearing…
