“If the husband hadn’t come back, these flowers would have been buried in the ground today.”
Having finished speaking, Carson busily moved on to fulfill the remaining schedule. He felt a vague premonition that a day in the imperial palace, after a long time, would be long yet short.
Louis soon fell asleep. Emma served warm tea to Enes.
“Thank you, Emma.”
“You always say that to me.”
“Did I?”
Enes smiled faintly and looked at Louis again. The sound of the sleeping child’s breathing softened the atmosphere around. I wonder if children know that every time an adult strokes their heads, adults receive comfort.
“There hasn’t been a word, but Her Excellency, you’ve been greatly missed.”
“I felt the same way.”
“Now, there won’t be any more parting, right?”
In response to Emma’s words, Enes nodded confidently.
“Of course. Always, thank you, Emma.”
The two continued to exchange small talk about Louis afterward. After some time, Enes set out to find Casey.
She came out into the corridor and stood in front of a large window where Granjeim Castle was in full view. Although she tried to calm her overwhelmed heart, a deep sigh involuntarily escaped her. From Carson, whom she met again, a strange fragrance, unfamiliar from before, emanated. It made Enes’ mind distant.
She wanted to hold his hand and follow him wherever he went. Seeing him made it even more certain that her feelings had changed.
Enes took a deep and long breath.
Red autumn flowers, which hadn’t seemed to chase her thoughts away before, were now covering the entire royal garden. She briefly wondered what the name of the flowers was but soon smiled.
It wasn’t time to be captivated yet.
Enes hurried her steps to meet Casey. She must have already heard the news.
When she arrived at Casey’s door and knocked, Casey briskly opened it.
“Enes.”
“Yes, Lady’s maid.”
A happy expression was difficult to hide on her face. Casey reached out and led Enes into the room.
“It worked out well. But what on earth happened?”
Enes confessed everything that had just happened.
“Fortunately.”
“It’s just a little detour of time.”
“But it’s not just that.”
“Now that I’m not the closest lady’s maid, is it okay for you?”
Casey shook her head energetically.
Actually, she was just happy to be able to stay in the palace. Honestly, she wasn’t sure if she really wanted to be a lady’s maid. She said that she had thought so just because she had always thought that she should be a lady’s maid according to her father’s will in her childhood.
“My father also wanted me to be the closest lady’s maid. I’m actually happier now. I want to learn as much as possible, if possible.”
Although she hadn’t observed for a long time, Casey was good at handling tasks. Just by seeing her carefully organizing her work and preparing for her successor, it was evident.
“Besides, we haven’t proven our usefulness yet. Let’s work a little harder.”
Seeing Casey smile brightly with hope, Enes became curious about why she ended up going to Romfield.
“Were you packing?”
Casey’s room seemed a bit messy as if she was organizing her belongings.
“Yeah, there was an oracle that said to move to Granjeim Castle tonight. Don’t you need to pack?”
“I don’t have much. I haven’t been here for long.”
She nodded and opened the third drawer of her desk. It was always locked. Enes approached the wardrobe to help Casey organize her clothes.
“Huh?”
However, Casey smiled and looked at Enes.
“Why?”
“This is a bit strange…”
Enes approached her.
“I always keep this drawer locked. And these days, there was no need to open it because there were no financial matters to handle.”
“Um… Why?”
“I always put my seal in the left corner of this drawer… As you know, I’m left-handed.”
One of the main tasks of the closest lady’s maid was to handle the consumption of the royal family on behalf of them. The seal she mentioned was the business stamp used for tasks each time. But this seal was placed not in the left corner but in the right corner. Enes raised the seal to touch the bottom.
Clearly, the wax, which should have been completely dry, left marks on Enes’s palm.
The surprised gazes of the two met in the air.
“What on earth is this…?”
At that moment, Enes remembered Heidi, whom she had momentarily forgotten while meeting Carson.
Enes handed the seal to Casey and fell into deep thought. Casey mentioned that she came to Romfield caught in a trap. If she committed any crime within the royal family and went to prison, it was natural for her to go to the prison within the institution.
Moreover, in Romfield, she was using the Olande Castle, the ancestral castle of the Landhill family, not Hempshire. In that case, she might have been divorced. One of the reasons a spouse could ask for a divorce was the family’s crime. She wondered if the crime she might commit was related to her own family.
“It seems that someone used your seal to meddle with the royal finances.”
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…?
