Left alone, I just stared blankly at the door where he had gone.
“I, I was surprised.”
My face flushed, and my heart beat fast.
I let out a long sigh and shook my head.
The smile I had seen earlier still seemed to remain on my retina.
[This is the time separator]Milia looked at the maid sitting in front of her with an expressionless face.
The ordinarylooking maid was a girl working at the Crown Prince’s palace.
“Pl, please spare me, Your Majesty the Empress.”
“Stop being insolent and lift your head!”
The chamberlain behind the Empress roared.
He then looked at Milia for guidance.
Worries preceded his stillangry face.
He might have seen a young maid die like this.
“The highest person in this palace is the Empress here! How dare you not answer the Empress’s question. It seems you know how many lives you have.”
The chamberlain deliberately raised his voice to threaten the maid.
Her face turned white, and she began to sob, shaking like a leaf.
The Empress, still watching her closed mouth, became furious.
“Do you dare ignore my words? You will bravely behave like this even if three generations are beheaded for treason. Watch me.”
At the Empress’s rebuke, the maid made a face as if she was about to faint.
“It’s not that Her Majesty asked something significant. Just sell your secret.”
“Really, you promise to keep it?”
“Of course. Hurry up and talk. We’re not even asking you to tell us the Crown Prince’s weakness, aren’t we?”
The chamberlain immediately threw a carrot to the maid.
Finally, the maid reluctantly opened her mouth.
“Do you think the Crown Prince cherishes his wife?”
“Yes, yes. They looked like a loving couple.”
“What about other women?”
The maid did not know what the Empress meant by ‘other women’ and rolled her eyes.
“Other … women?”
“Besides the Crown Princess, are you kind to other maids?”
The chamberlain shouted, and the maid’s shoulders shrank.
Few people were around the Crown Prince.
Even the servants who had worked for years had seen the Crown Prince’s face only a few times in a year.
Although it was the Crown Prince’s palace, he rarely acted like the owner.
It meant she didn’t know anything in the end.
“We, well, I don’t know well, but he seemed to have become kinder than before.”
After that, the chamberlain continued to dig into Nathaniel’s relationship with the opposite sex.
The maid struggled to avert the crisis by mixing in some lies with the truth.
“Okay. Then go back.”
“Me, really?”
Certainly, here is the translation:
“Keep our meeting here a secret. It will probably help you in your longterm work.”
The vitality returned to the maid’s face.
Perhaps due to relief, both cheeks were flushed.
Milia extended her hand and sent the maid away.
“I had my doubts, but it seems that rumor is true.”
The Queen Mother smiled broadly at the Prime Minister’s words.
I had been working hard to find Nathaniel’s weakness, and now it just rolled into sight.
It might have been a weakness made by Jaina.
Milia was thrilled, as if she had already succeeded in her revenge.
“I thought Nathaniel was an emotionless animal.”
“I never even dreamed that the Crown Prince would have the Crown Princess Consort in his heart.”
The Prime Minister agreed with the Queen Mother’s words.
I’ve watched for nearly a decade, but the fact that Nathaniel could share emotions with someone was amazing.
“It means he could be swayed by other women.”
The Queen Mother didn’t trust Nathaniel’s integrity.
Beans are planted where beans grow, and red beans where red beans grow; the Emperor, too, always talked about love but was always lusting after other women behind the scenes.
Moreover, his vigilance towards people had also lessened, so if someone stuck to him well, they could sway him.
“Isn’t there a good young lady? A girl willing to risk her life on this.”
If Nathaniel’s weakness couldn’t be found, it could be created.
The Queen Mother’s words left the Prime Minister thinking for a moment.
“Actually, there is a family that harbors a grudge against the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort.”
“Really?”
“Yes. It’s that Earl Groban, who recently made a fool of himself in the palace.”
“Ah, that lowly pervert.”
The Queen Mother frowned and grumbled.
Though he was to be used and discarded, it was distasteful to join hands with such a base man.
“Earl Groban has a younger sister named Diana Groban. She hasn’t been married yet, and considering the state of her household, she’s probably struggling to find a match.”
“Practically speaking, the Groban family might as well be expelled from society.”
Earl Groban’s reputation wasn’t good even before the incident.
He’d been all over the place, making advances at women, to the point that even the Queen Mother knew about him.
Now the Groban family might as well be considered cut off.
“What fault does Lady Diana have? It might not be a bad idea to take her into the palace under the pretext of marrying her off, Your Majesty.”
The Queen Mother nodded at the Prime Minister’s words.
People become desperate when cornered.
Diana would probably do the same.
If a rope was thrown down at that time, she would cling to it even if it was rotten.
“Let’s do it your way. Bring her to me. I’ll have to see her face and decide.”
With the big decision made, her mind started working quickly.
A very plausible reason to attach a woman to Nathaniel had occurred to her.
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…?
