After I Got Married, Those Who Betrayed Me Were Reborn

ew of his.

How many spies there are in the Duke of Austin’s mansion, and whose moles they were, Austin has always been very aware.

As one of the seven dukes, he could have sent them away, but Austin never did.
Instead, he kept these other people’s insiders with him.

　”Send them away? Why should I send them all away?” Austin leaned back lazily in his chair and sneered, “If I send them away, those people will have to think of ways to stuff new people in to spy on me, how troublesome that would be for them.”

Carlos promptly replied, “As long as Your Highness wants, Your Highness can keep the entire residence airtight, so that others can no longer put people around you.”

’

Although it is okay for Austin to be like this now, as a suspicious superior, Carlos still feels that it is best for Austin to clean up everyone else around him, leaving only those he trusts.

“That’s so boring.” Austin’s eyes suddenly became unfathomable, and he said with great interest, “If I replace them all with my own people, who else would perform for me? Plucking their own eyes, destroying their own appearance, and crippling themselves?”

The reason why he didn’t clean these moles was never because he couldn’t, but because he didn’t want to.

Although Austin was a madman, he was also a madman who knew where the legal boundary lies.
If these people were replaced, who would hurt themselves in order to stay with him?

Who else could he torture?

Austin felt extremely excited as long as he thought that these people were extremely afraid of him, but had to endure him, had to hurt themselves in front of him in order to stay, obviously suffering, but pretending to be willing to do so.

Carlos frowned deeply, wanting to lecture Austin, but not knowing where to begin.

“Besides, Uncle, don’t you think it’s interesting that these people were ordered to my side to spy and pry into my affairs…but I pass the message I want to deliver to their masters through them?” Austin raised the corners of his mouth wickedly, full of amusement.

He’s crazy, but he’s never stupid…

Carlos was really powerless to complain and couldn’t understand his nephew’s perverted hobby, but seeing as Austin was always conscious and did not seem like he had to be monitored, he stopped talking about it, “As long as Your Highness is happy.”

　”Happy, of course I’m happy.
There are so many people playing with me every day, of course I’m happy…” Austin gently stroked the rim of his cup.

Carlos looked at Austin’s bright window, it swept away the gloom of the office, “It’s good to get some more sunshine…I’ve been out for so long this time.
I didn’t expect that Your Highness would actually agree to get married.
I missed Your Highness’ wedding banquet and haven’t congratulated Your Highness on your wedding yet…”

“I’m just wondering, what does Your Highness have in mind?” He was asking about Austin’s plans regarding the Empress’ side scheming.

　Austin heard him ask about the Empress, the corners of his mouth immediately pulled into a mocking smile, “Those who do not let me have a good time, I will never let them have a good time either, I will never let that good mother of mine be happy…”

“She shouldn’t even think about wanting me to have a baby, so it can be a puppet for her, and fulfill her dream of repeating my mistakes.”

’

The reason he initially agreed to marry was just to make the Empress full of hope, thinking she could control him and then, all of a sudden, her hope shattered, and she had nothing.

“..Then shall I make arrangements for the Omega sent by the Empress?” Carlos instantly understood what Austin meant.
Seeing that he was unwilling to follow the path arranged by the Empress, Carlos immediately offered.

Although Ruan Tang was only a reproductive tool, he was now Austin’s partner in the nominal and legal sense, which was different from those servants…

In Carlos’ eyes, it was dangerous to keep him around in the end.

Just Ruan Tang’s current identity alone, Carlos felt that the Empress could move countless hands and feet.

They were better off making a move on Ruan Tang, without hurting Ruan Tang, so that the Empress’ wishful thinking could be completely shattered unknowingly…

For example, making this Empress’ handpicked fertility tool completely sterile.

“No need, don’t touch him.” Austin heard him mention Ruan Tang, and immediately frowned deeply.
He knew that his uncle’s ruthless heart and promptly gave a stern order, “He… I have my own plan.
Don’t meddle in his affairs.”

He could see that Ruan Tang was different from those sent to him by people with ulterior motives; His eyes were very clean and clear.

So, Austin didn’t want to touch him, he wanted to take good care of him…

Carlos glanced at Austin in surprise.
He didn’t expect his reaction to be so great, but he responded obediently, “Yes, Your Highness.”

TL Notes:

[1]moles – Originally says 眼线 [yǎn xiàn] aka “eyeliner” which is slang for a police informer leading to culprit’s hide-out; a spy.
I decided to use slang as well

The TL has something to say:

Apologies for the sudden hiatus there, I was staying low at first bc of the jj site situation and then I had to deal with some irl problems.
I’m back tho and I’ll definitely upload more soon, no empty promises this time I swear! And I decided to keep posting like normal unless I get a dmca.
Anyyywayyss, Austin being so tsun (also psychopathic at the same time???) is so funny.
Can’t wait for Ruan Tang to realize how much of a teddy bear he is lol! If you have any questions, want to point out any mistakes, or simply want to say something then go ahead and leave a comment!
