All Chapters of My Family Could Hear Her Secrets: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Under the scorching sun, I stood alone at the gate with a parasol in hand.A carriage slowly made its way down the street. Its canopy consisted of nothing more than a sheet of blue cloth, which looked completely out of place among the tall, lavish buildings that surrounded it.Before the carriage had even come to a stop, a young girl jumped down.She looked about my age. Her long black hair was tied back with a red ribbon, and her almond-shaped eyes were as lively as a fawn's. Every movement she made seemed playful and endearing."Are you my older sister from the capital? It's nice to meet you. My name is Lenny Spencer." Her words sounded sweet, but I knew the malice hidden beneath them.Sure enough, just as my parents and brother hurried after her and climbed down from the carriage, I heard her thoughts.'Jenna was raised in the capital from a young age. She's never experienced the hardships of life on the frontier, yet she dresses so extravagantly. She really has no idea how di

In the palace's imperial garden, the Queen sat at the head of the gathering, with Princess Sophia nestled beside her.Princess Sophia was the youngest child of the King and Queen. They doted on her, and she had a playful, mischievous personality.In my previous life, she had chosen me as her companion. Not because I was particularly talented. She simply thought I was pretty. That was all.But through her thoughts, Lenny insinuated that I had schemed behind the scenes to keep her from being chosen.As punishment, I was sent to church and ordered to "reflect on my mistakes."Robert even subjected me to the family's disciplinary punishment, striking me again and again with a riding crop. He ordered me to "repent" and give up my place as the princess' companion.No matter how much I tried to explain, he believed only what he heard in Lenny's thoughts.But a companion personally chosen by the royal family wasn't a position I could simply give away, even if I wanted to.In the end, R

Rosalie knocked me off balance, and I went down with the momentum.Our tutor, Helen Prescott, was old-fashioned and couldn't stand seeing us fool around.She snapped, "Rosalie, what do you think you're doing?"Rosalie opened the book and handed it to Helen without even looking at it herself. Certain she had me cornered, she exclaimed triumphantly, "Ma'am, look! Jenna is actually reading this kind of book!"Everyone turned to look, only to stare back at Rosalie in confusion.Helen was furious. She snatched the book away and smacked Rosalie across the face with it. "What are you looking at? Is there something wrong with the words of the sages? You, on the other hand, are making quite a scene. Do you think you can behave this way in front of me?"Rosalie looked up in shock, then picked up the book. It contained nothing but proper classical writings. Not a trace remained of what she had slipped inside earlier.She stumbled back several steps and frantically flipped through the pages

Knowing Lenny was up to no good, I had no intention of warning the Richardsons.I hadn't done a thing, yet they already believed I couldn't stand her. If I warned them, they wouldn't be grateful. They would only accuse me of being malicious and trying to drive a wedge between them.Besides, in my previous life, I had starved to death in the church.Linda had stood there with Lenny in her arms, watching everything unfold while warning her never to become as shameless as me.Robert had whipped me with a riding crop, declaring that I was impure and had brought shame upon the family.Daniel had bound my hands and feet as though I were livestock, the thick hemp rope cutting deep into my flesh.The pain of those days remained vivid in my mind. Even thinking about it made me tremble with despair.But even when I kept to myself, someone always came looking for trouble.…For Linda's birthday, the entire household went all out.Lanterns and decorations hung everywhere, and the whole e

Princess Sophia had no interest in Lenny's swordsmanship. Her own martial skills far surpassed Lenny's, but her status as a princess prevented her from acting as freely as she wished.Once I realized something was off about Lenny, Princess Sophia and I discussed how to lure her out.Every night, I deliberately lingered outside Lenny's room and made just enough noise to make her suspect I was up to something.All that effort finally paid off. Unable to resist any longer, Lenny captured me.That was when Princess Sophia and I made our move.The place turned out to be nothing more than a shabby storage room. Who would have guessed it was being used to hide spies from Avelon?Several Avelonian remnants lay scattered across the courtyard. Their arms and legs had been broken, but they had been kept alive for the interrogation that would follow.Princess Sophia looked at me with sympathy in her eyes. "I had no idea your family could be so foolish."I mimicked her usual shrug and gave
