The Butcher’s New Groom​

Sadie Mercer worked as a butcher. Her husband, who had married into her household, betrayed her, and she divorced him. She then took in Wesley Ashwell, a man who had lost his memory. He gave her what he had and treated her well, and she had a household of her own for the first time. Wesley Ashwell was the heir of Prince Martin. When his memory came back he did not leave her. He took her to the Capital and gave her rank and money there. Relatives of the Ashwell household made trouble over her background and she dealt with them. Her former husband, who worked by shortcuts, failed the examinations and lost his standing. Sadie Mercer's household went on doing well.
