By the time I hit twenty without a husband, I'd become the joke of Butcher's Alley. I wasn't about to just take it, so I marched out to the pauper's graveyard and dragged home a half-dead man I found there. He was gorgeous. More handsome than any portrait I'd ever seen. It didn't matter that he'd lost his memory and wasn't quite right in the head. It didn't matter that he couldn't lift a crate or carry a load, that he nearly fainted dead away the first time he watched me slaughter a pig. I slapped my knee and made up my mind. "You're the one. You handle looking pretty, and I'll handle bringing home the bacon." I named him Walt and treated him like he was made of glass. I fed him well, kept him comfortable, and slowly nursed him back to health until his cheeks were full and his skin was soft. Then I started planning the wedding. On our wedding night, I'd just gotten his wedding coat off when the front door flew off its hinges. Hundreds of royal guards dropped to their knees all at once, their voices shaking the walls. "Welcome back to the capital, Grand Chancellor!" I looked down at the man beneath me. The warmth in his eyes was gone, replaced by something cold and sharp. The belt I'd been holding snapped right in two. I was done for. I'd been bossing around the most powerful man in the empire for six months and using him as a house husband. Was I looking at death by slow torture, or would they wipe out my entire family?

My Trash Husband Is the Grand Chancellor Chapter 11
When I came to, I was inside a crumbling old church on the outskirts of the city.My hands and feet were bound.A group of masked figures were huddled nearby, talking."She's a sturdy one. Didn't know the grand chancellor had that kind of taste.""When Jeremy gets here, we'll make him watch while we..."The leader laughed in a sleazy, disgusting way.Their plan was simple. Use me to back Jeremy into a corner, force him to give up his power, and humiliate me to break him.I curled up in the corner, pretending to tremble in fear. Meanwhile, I was quietly working the boning knife against the ropes behind my back."Stop moving!"One of them came over to kick me.Just then, the rope snapped.I launched myself upward, the knife gleaming in the light.He never got the kick off. His scream tore through the church instead.I knew exactly where to cut. It was the same spot as a pig's hind leg joint. Same principle, different animal. One clean strike and he went down, the tendon seve

So, I opened a butcher shop in the capital.I'd wanted to call it "The Grand Chancellor's Cuts." I thought it had a certain power to it.Jeremy shot that down without a second thought. We went with "Smith's Cuts" instead.He didn't come to the opening himself, but he sent the steward ahead with a large sign to hang above the door.That sign alone set the entire noble district buzzing.The highborn ladies who normally wouldn't look twice at a commoner came rolling up in their carriages just to see for themselves."That's the country woman Lord Sanford dragged back with him?""She's actually selling meat in public? The man must be mortified."The wife of one of the ministers showed up with her servants in tow, clearly looking for a fight."Cut me two pounds. I want it sliced thin enough to read through."She said it like a challenge. Everyone standing nearby was waiting to watch me fail.I smiled to myself and picked up the boning knife I'd carried for ten years.My hand move

The longer I stayed, the more Ironspire Estate felt like a gilded cage.I was a wild sparrow who'd never been kept indoors. The place was suffocating me.Jeremy had apparently decided to turn me into a proper lady. He brought in a senior attendant from the palace to teach me etiquette."My lady, walk softly. Each step should be light and graceful."She hovered beside me with a thin rod, watching my every move.I walked like a duck. I swung my hips so hard I thought I'd throw out my back."My lady, a proper smile doesn't show the teeth."Every time I smiled, I showed every tooth in my mouth. The attendant shook her head over and over.Then one day, I hit my limit.I ripped the heavy crystal accessory off my head and threw it on the floor."I'm done! I was born a butcher! What am I doing pretending to be something I'm not!"Jeremy came at the sound of it, his expression dark."You're the grand chancellor's wife. You represent this household's standing.""Then take your stand
My Trash Husband Is the Grand Chancellor Chapter 8
I was brought to the grand chancellor's residence in the capital, Ironspire Estate.The place was absurdly large. I could get lost just walking from one end to the other.I was completely sure I was headed for a dungeon somewhere. Chains, interrogation, the works.Instead, I was deposited onto the enormous bed in the master bedroom.What unnerved me even more was the staff. Every single servant I encountered greeted me with nothing but respect."Good day, my lady.""Your tea, my lady."Their heads were down, but I could feel their curious eyes. I couldn't blame them. Jeremy had come home with a broad-shouldered, thick-armed woman who looked like she'd spent her whole life doing hard labor. That alone was worth staring at."Dear, come help me trim my quills."In the study, Jeremy sat at his desk with a book open in front of him. He gestured toward the quills without looking up.I swallowed my pride and walked over. I picked up a quill.My hands were built for a butcher's knif

The whole alley came alive on our wedding day, loud and bright as a festival.I wore the finest dress I'd ever owned in my life. It was so tight I could barely breathe, but I didn't care. I was beaming from the inside out.Walt stood beside me in his wedding attire, trembling so badly I thought he

When I woke up the next morning, Walt had already reorganized the entire account book.He'd even written up the shop sign I'd been putting off.My old sign was an embarrassment. I'd drawn a pig's head, scrawled the word "meat" underneath, and called it done. It looked like a child had made it.Wa

Once Walt was a little stronger, I brought him along to the market.He couldn't do heavy work, but that face of his had to be worth something. A little extra draw for the stall never hurt.I was wrong.The moment he stepped up to the stall, he drew a crowd all right. A mob of older women packed i

When the man woke up, he stared at me with the blank, bewildered eyes of a newborn.I slammed my butcher's knife down on the table, still dripping with blood."You're awake. Good. From this day forward, you're my husband."I pointed at myself, then at him."I'm Yvonne Smith. You're Walt. Got it?
