Don't Obsess Over A Married Woman (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
The man I encountered upstairs was, unfortunately, not Sir Joseph.
Yet I couldn’t shake the feeling that I’d seen this man somewhere before.
Where was it?
He had a gentle, kind face, rich chestnut hair, green eyes, a fairly tall stature, and broad shoulders.
He seemed about my age…
“It’s truly been a long time since we last met. I don’t know if you remember me. I’m Leopold Hose, who has served Baron Landgritz since childhood. Recently, I’ve officially been granted knighthood and elevated to the rank of viscount.”
Ah.
Only upon seeing his cheeks flushed crimson as he looked at me did it finally click.
This man was the one my elder brother had chosen as my prospective second husband.
A man of low status and title—someone who wouldn’t dare covet noble rank, even if taken in as a son-in-law—and yet loyal to Landgritz.
In other words, precisely the person needed to absorb the House of Duke Dieren into the House of Baron Landgritz.
“However, I never expected to meet the Duchess here of all places. This is a spot frequented by those who train with swords…”
Back when he constantly trailed beside my elder brother, he never even dared meet my eyes properly.
But now, the way he bows to kiss my fingertips clearly carries the bearing of a knight.
‘He seems to have cured his stuttering habit. That’s why I didn’t recognize him right 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.”

The cause of this crisis I’d just faced was none other than Leopold Hose.
After reading ‘do your best to regret’ I flinch at the name leoplod
Nah, surely not. It must’ve been pure coincidence.
“Nah” 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t picture her using such a colloquialisms
Yet constantly having to blindly follow Sir Joseph’s advice without understandin
At first I was like “you have to listen to him” but her view point is extremely valid. He is a stranger telling you to do things and unless mindless you are going to question things
