I Have A Terminally Ill Duke As My Husband (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 135
“Bianca, are you really sure it’s alright to go this far? His Highness the Crown Prince hasn’t even ascended the imperial throne yet, yet you’re already calling yourself Empress?”
Berham, the Chief Steward, looked at her with evident concern.
He knew better than anyone just how hard Bianca had worked since entering the palace to reach her current position.
Ever since becoming Head Maid, Bianca had begun acting as though she herself were the master of the Imperial Household, and this worried Berham deeply.
Moreover, Harmon hadn’t even become Emperor yet—how could she already style herself Empress…?
Berham intended to discreetly inform the House of Mamont that Bianca’s actions in sharing imperial affairs with them were wrong.
But Bianca, having already tasted the allure of power, could no longer hear Berham’s advice.
Berham looked at Bianca with a sorrowful expression, unable to abandon her ambitions, then stood up and said,
“Very well. I won’t urge you further. But be careful. Excessive greed invites disaster. I’ll take my leave now.”
After Berham left, Bianca turned to the maid standing beside her and said,
“Replace the maids formerly serving in the Crown Princess’s palace with these girls.”
“Nora and Sierra? But these girls have only recently entered the palace and are still quite clumsy at their duties. Are you sure that’s alright?”
“That’s exactly why I want to replace them. The Crown Princess already has her own personal maids close by, so we can’t get near her anyway. I only need girls for simple tasks. Assign them to watch over Her Highness.”
“Watch over her?”
“Yes. Have them check whether Her Highness secretly meets with the Crown Prince or leaves the palace without notice. All they need to do is observe quietly and report back to me. These girls will be sufficient.”
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…?
