Don't Obsess Over A Married Woman (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 97
What is this nonsense now?
My heart suddenly turned cold. Had that bastard really usurped Duke Dieren’s position?
“But now you’ll never need it again, will you? Since the plots of land happen to be the same, you won’t have to spend much time drawing up new blueprints—so why not at least review them?”
“That’s an excellent idea!”
It wasn’t something that required prolonged deliberation.
If Sir Joseph’s blueprints truly proved useful, they could save me anywhere from several months to even a few years.
Besides, wasn’t it the work of that very man who dared usurp Dieren? I wouldn’t feel the slightest twinge of conscience taking it from him.
No—why stop at just the blueprints?
“By the way, if securing a room at a hotel proves difficult, perhaps I should consider purchasing the Baden estate instead while I have the chance. What do you think?”
Now that he’s no longer a noble, that estate would be sheer extravagance.
Sir Joseph seemed to agree with my thought, smiling brightly with his graceful eyes.
“The Baden estate was scheduled to go on the market once Wilhelm York Baden’s period of seclusion ends. Through the sole servant who comes out to buy groceries, we might even acquire it sooner.”
“How absurd. Even though he’s in no position to attend social gatherings, he still insists on observing the formalities of seclusion.”
“He intends to kneel before his wife once that period ends—to beg her to take him back as her husband. So he figures he’d better maintain some semblance of social propriety. He surely wouldn’t want to go to his daughter.”
Come to think of it, the Badens do have a daughter.
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.”
