“He doesn’t think badly of me as a strategic marriage partner. He said it would be okay. He promised to respect me.”
“What did you say?”
“I just said I don’t plan to get married right now.”
It wasn’t the answer of a noble lady, but it was an answer a philosopher could give.
“Why, is Cedric Lambert not good?”
“You and Dad had a love marriage, right? I want the same. Strategic marriages are really bad.”
Loo’s voice rose slightly as she spoke.
“Also, why should I take the title Alanca got through Dad’s hard work to Alanca? Absolutely not.”
The point was here. Milene, who was listening, laughed out loud.
“You won’t give it?”
“No, absolutely not. We should maintain the Genesis family line. We can’t just go to another place and take someone else’s title. No, it’s not allowed. We have to bring in a designated heir. Otherwise…”
Or change the successor. Loo thought of Hayden. If she married Hayden, all the titles and property that the Genesis family had would be incorporated into the imperial family again, so it would be okay to change the successor to her younger brother, Sia.
“Otherwise?”
“No, no.”
But she couldn’t complain about her marriage to Hayden in front of her mother. Her mother believed that the best way to solidify imperial power was for the emperor to marry an Eastern aristocratic lady.
‘Then I’ll have to deal with opposition from the family first if I get married. I’ll have to stop it and let Hayden wait behind. What should I do.’
Phew, the guilty Rustica Genesis. She finally caught a younger one, so she shouldn’t make her suffer. Loo spoke naturally, making a resolution.
“Anyway, let’s bring in a designated heir.”
Milene looked at Loo with a contemplative expression. Oh, did Mom notice? Already? Could it be? Loo focused her eyes. If she got caught shaking her eyes here, it would be the end. She absolutely couldn’t get caught by her mom. Not yet!
“…Well, let’s think about that later. Anyway, since you’re a philosopher, strategic marriage is…”
“Yeah. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Right. You don’t have to get married.”
“I don’t have to?”
“Yeah. Do as you please. It’s okay. Among the philosophers, who got married?”
So, Ophelia and Melfeus are unmarried too. I see. Loo nodded her head. Milene stood up and brought a purple envelope.
“Well, if you have nowhere to go, go here.”
Loo hesitated to accept the purple envelope, looking at it as if it were something very ominous.
“Why don’t you take it?”
“What is this… What does the Imperial Palace want with me?”
That envelope was treated as a sinister omen that brought alarming and shocking results from the Calleta Embassy. Although it wasn’t sealed with the emperor’s stamp, it was undoubtedly an envelope used in the Imperial Palace.
“What are you waiting for? It’s telling you to go. What are you waiting for?”
Oh, right. I’m not Calleta’s ambassador now; I’m the Viscountess of Flache. Loo, belatedly realizing this, accepted the envelope.
The envelope was clean without ever being sealed, and there was no name of the recipient. It seemed like someone had taken one while the sender was still working on it. She took out an invitation from the envelope.
“Huh…?”
“It says Matopju is coming. You can’t just attend anywhere. It seems like the fact that you’re a philosopher hasn’t been made public yet.”
Perhaps the emperor, like Milene, was delaying announcing Loo’s responsibilities as much as possible to relieve her burden. Moreover, they were about to completely resolve the assassination attempt case, and soon a reward would be given to Loo, so she had to carefully choose where to attend.
“I appreciate your consideration.”
The invitation stated that Matopju, also known as the Western Philosopher Ophelia, would be holding a gathering to drink tea and share wisdom with aristocratic ladies at the Imperial Palace.
“If it’s that gathering, Southern Philosopher should go.”
But besides Loo, other prominent ladies would attend. And they were all starting to be mentioned as candidates for the future empress.
Milene looked at her daughter with a gaze filled with concern, affection, and as much worry. She nodded, understanding what she needed to do, and looked at her daughter, her eyes filled with worry, affection, and an equal amount of concern.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
