An Incomplete Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
“How dare you, shameless wretch who doesn’t even understand the subject! How dare someone like you insult my son?”
He withdrew his wildly swung hand, loosened his cravat, and huffed in anger.
Olivia clutched her swollen cheek and glared at the count.
“Since when did you become so eloquent? Did you speak that way even in front of your husband? Was it your sharp tongue that got you driven out?”
Count Blanchet, who had been shouting, suddenly turned around and yelled at the servants standing behind him.
“Strike that one.”
The black cane pointed directly at none other than Anne.
Anne crouched on the floor, buried her head—wrapped tightly in both arms—against her chest, and trembled uncontrollably. Shocked by the sight, Olivia fixed the count with a fierce stare.
“Don’t do this to Anne.”
“I heard you received a generous alimony. Bring it here.”
“Your Grace!”
“Do you wish your maid dead?”
Olivia stared hard at Count Blanchet. His domineering gaze grew increasingly savage.
“It’s fine, really. Please, just don’t— Ah! Ow!”
The count swung his cane toward Anne’s head, and frightened, Anne let out a whimper, clutching her head. Before the cane could land, Olivia swiftly snatched it away.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
