How To Choose A Knight (28 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 85
She quickly tore it open and found the contents concise.
“I have handled it as you requested. I am doing my best, so I hope our dealings remain smooth going forward. For your reference, I inform you that the share of profits going to the residents of Athanase Forest has increased.”
“Not foolish after all. Greedy, but not foolish.”
Jade gave a small laugh and examined the envelopes laid out below.
The neat yet weak, thin handwriting belonged to Oli; the unruly, crooked lines that refused to align were Nina’s.
She felt so delighted that a smile came to her lips unbidden.
Though she felt a twinge of guilt toward Nina, she opened Oli’s letter first. The old woman’s letter began with an exclamation.
“Oh, what on earth is this? Receiving an unexpected letter truly gladdens my heart.
And the contents are just as wonderful. Though I knew little of the circumstances, I understand your wish to hold your coming-of-age ceremony. My joy is genuine. With all my heart, I congratulate you, little sorceress.
But I was astonished when you insisted on inviting this old woman to your ceremony. Isn’t it customary for nobles’ coming-of-age ceremonies to invite many distinguished guests to uphold the family’s prestige?
I thought it best to refuse—but what can I do when a bearded merchant waits anxiously outside, pacing impatiently for my reply? He’s even standing there holding suitable attire!
I have no choice but to send my acceptance.
Truth be told, that’s all just an excuse. The real reason is that I’ve been curious about you, Jade. I want to see with my own eyes how you are faring.
Call it greed if you must—but what can I do about bonds already formed?
An insignificant old woman of Athanase Forest,
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…?
