I Possessed the Wicked Empress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 85
“Take a look at this!”
What she had brought was a sample of bedding to be used at the orphanage.
“It’s not the most luxurious fabric, but it’s soft cotton, so I think it’ll be good for the children! Since we’re buying in bulk, the merchant gave us a very fair price!”
“I see. Indeed, the feel against the skin is quite soft.”
Pelio inwardly felt a pang of disappointment but also relief as he noticed Ermedilin’s attention had already been captured by the bedding Beleste had brought.
If Ermedilin had kept pressing him about taking a break or something over his little tumble just moments ago, it truly would have been mortifying—but thanks to Beleste, her focus had shifted, which was fortunate.
“Your Highness! What do you think? Doesn’t this fit within our budget?”
“Yes. Well, it’s not bad.”
Yet, openly praising it felt irritating, since Beleste was now sharing Ermedilin’s attention.
“Not bad? If you’d been in charge, you’d have been swindled by some shady merchant into paying a fortune for coarse rags! It’s obvious even without checking.”
Pelio wanted to retort to Beleste’s words, but since there was some truth to them, he simply clamped his mouth shut and shot her a single glare.
After all, he had absolutely no talent for commerce, and he’d deliberately kept himself far removed from delicate matters like interior decoration.
Even after that, Ermedilin spent quite a while reviewing textbook samples and various household items brought by the maids.
“Please process payment for everything approved today as quickly as possible. You’re in charge of the paperwork, right?”
At Beleste’s words, Ermedilin smiled and gently stopped 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…?
