“Greetings, Duke Spencer.”
Teishar looked at Lorencia lying on the bed with an anxious face, and Blondie noticed his worried expression.
“Blondie. It’s been a long time.”
“It’s been a long time? We met three years ago as well.”
“Usually, three years means an extremely long time without seeing each other, Blondie.”
Blondie approached Lorencia who was lying on the bed. The moment she saw her, Blondie’s heart sank. Just as Abrelina said, Lorencia’s face closely resembled the calm Cain and elegant Musilla.
“Hello. I am Blondie, who will be Lady Lorencia’s maid from the House of Di Glosten.”
Blondie continued speaking while checking Lorencia’s condition.
“The girl on my left behind me is Kate. The one on the right is Owenna. They are both shadow and escort maids belonging to the Black Rose of the House of Di Glosten. Both of them will remain hidden in the shadows until you tell them to come out, Lady Lorencia.”
“Greetings to you, Lady Lorencia. I am Kate.”
“I am Owenna. Lady Lorencia, it’s a pleasure to serve you.”
Lorencia nodded and looked at Blondie, who was examining her body. Though she appeared strict, there was endless kindness felt in her brown eyes. Just like Evan and Ameline.
“Please feel free to call me Blondie. By the way, Lady Lorencia, I heard you have a stomachache.”
“My lower abdomen is slightly painful…”
“I will take a look at it for you. Lady Lorencia, I am a certified doctor, so please entrust your body to me with confidence.”
Blondie sat on the chair that Ameline had brought and placed in front of the bed.
“Before we start the examination, I would like all the gentlemen in the room to step outside.”
Blondie told all the men, including Teishar, to leave the room. When Teishar showed a reluctant expression, Blondie smiled and slightly gestured with her chin towards Evan. Sensing Blondie’s intention, Evan forcibly dragged the unwilling Teishar out of the room.
The door closed with a click.
“I will lower the blanket covering you down to your abdomen for the examination, my lady.”
“Yes.”
Lorencia felt the passage of time in her wrinkled hands touching her stomach. The gentle touch was soft and warm, reminding her of her mother Musilla.
“Could you please tell me about your painful symptoms?”
“My lower abdomen hurts as if it’s knocking.”
“Have you felt this kind of lower abdominal pain before?”
“This is the first time I’ve experienced such pain in my lower abdomen.”
“I see. It must have been quite startling for you.”
Blondie clenched her teeth for a moment when she saw Lorencia’s thin body hidden under the blanket. Abrelina had informed her in advance, but it was worse than she had thought.
“It’s okay. It’s not as painful as when I got sick from eating spoiled fish porridge.”
“Did you say spoiled fish porridge?”
“Since I’ve been trained from a young age by eating spoiled food, I never get sick from food.”
Lorencia smiled brightly, trying to reassure Blondie, who was looking at her with concern. Blondie’s fingertips trembled. She kept blinking her eyes to suppress the welling anger at the mention of eating spoiled fish porridge diluted with rainwater on an empty stomach.
“When did your menstrual period approximately end?”
At Blondie’s question, Lorencia shook her head uncertainly and lowered her eyes. Then she carefully revealed that she had not started her menstrual period.
“It’s alright, my lady. Even if you haven’t started your menstrual period, there is no problem living as the daughter of the Duke of Di Glosten. And the reason for your current lower abdominal pain may be symptoms of your menstrual period starting.”
“Are you saying that I may start my menstrual period?”
Lorencia’s purple eyes gradually widened at Blondie’s unexpected words. Although she hadn’t even started her menarche yet, there was hope that she could start. A smile formed on her face spontaneously.
“I will explain the menstrual period in detail. The reason why your lower abdomen starts to ache as if being poked…”
Blondie began to kindly explain for Lorencia, who was ignorant about the menstrual period. Lorencia kept nodding her head with sparkling eyes. After finishing the explanation, Blondie took out a palm-sized square object from her doctor’s bag.
“This is a magical tool for diagnosing illnesses.”
Blondie placed the magical tool on Lorencia’s abdomen and put both hands over it, concentrating. After thoroughly examining from head to toe, Blondie removed the magical tool placed on the abdomen.
“Fortunately, there is no pain anywhere else.”
“Then the reason for my lower abdominal pain is really…”
“There is a high possibility.”
Lorencia’s heart pounded at the thought that she might be able to start her menarche. No more being pointed at as a witch.
“I didn’t know pain could feel so good.”
Blondie’s wrinkled hand was placed on the back of Lorencia’s hand.
“However, if your lower abdomen hurts, it will be bothering you, so I will prescribe a small amount of painkillers.”
[This is the timeline separator]As soon as Lorencia took the medicine prescribed by Blondie, the heavy and poking sensation felt in her lower abdomen miraculously disappeared. With her lower abdomen feeling a bit better, Holio and Mary came to tell her that they had organized all the gifts sent to her in her private room.
So she got up from her seat and went to her private room.
“Are all these gifts for me?”
“Yes. They are all jewels meant only for you, Lady Lorencia. Abrelina mainly purchased amethysts, which are your birthstone.”
“Birthstone?”
“The amethyst of February symbolizes the peace bestowed by God, so it is also called the color of the Goddess Ella. Isn’t it beautiful?”
Lorencia couldn’t close her mouth at the enormous amount of jewels that had come to her. It was as if a jewelry store had entered the mansion.
The jewels, well-organized by their vibrant colors, seemed to have everything from hair ornaments to necklaces, rings, and bracelets.
“Will I be able to wear all those jewels?”
“Wearing them is not the sole purpose of jewels.”
“Then what?”
“You can create a secret fund, or if not, you can play with them.”
“Play with jewels?”
Lorencia smiled awkwardly at Blondie’s words about playing with jewels too seriously. And she realized that the number of gifts Teishar had given her was never that many.
“Yes. All the certificates of authenticity for the real jewels here are under your name, so they all belong to you, my lady.”
“There are too many jewels.”
“You need to get used to receiving a lot. Although it hasn’t been announced yet, you are the only daughter of the Duke of Di Glosten.”
The head of the House of Di Glosten. Under Baello, there were only three sons. Welson also had only two sons, Baello and Cain.
Lorencia becomes the only daughter and the duke’s daughter of the House of Di Glosten, born after 50 years.
As the only duke’s daughter in the House of Di Glosten, which was crawling with dark-skinned men, Abrelina and Welson couldn’t come to their senses. They were so eager to do things for her that they were impatient to announce her as the duke’s daughter.
“You can do anything and have whatever you want.”
“There’s nothing I want to have right now, but there is something I desire.”
“What is it? Just tell me. I will prepare everything for you.”
Blondie smiled in a delighted voice and stroked the ends of Lorencia’s red hair.
“I miss my grandmother and grandfather.”
Thanks to Teishar, the bad feelings she had buried in her heart had disappeared. With the emotions that had made her heart ache gone, her mind felt at ease.
Teishar’s words suddenly came to mind. Whenever she thought of him, the suspicion of whether he truly loved her or was using her disappeared. With the suspicion gone, she learned how to accept a person’s love without doubt.
Lorencia smiled at Blondie.
“How…can your heart be so admirable? Abrelina and Welson said they missed you so much, but unfortunately, they had to enter the palace with Magus today and couldn’t come.”
Lorencia also knew. Abrelina and Welson had gone with Magus to report the pillar of light and inform the queen of her existence.
“After finishing their business at the palace, they will come to Spencer Mansion to see you, Lady Lorencia.”
“I want to see them soon.”
“Please tell them that directly, my lady. They will be very pleased.”
“Yes. I will convey my feelings.”
It was something she couldn’t even imagine when she was at the House of Pol Heredian. Not only did she escape from the earl’s house and save people, including Charlotte and Adrian, but a very different life approached her.
She learned beautiful emotions and the heart to think of others that she had never experienced before.
“I am just grateful that such a life existed for me.”
“This is not such a life. This is your original life. Now, shall we go to the room where the next gift is?”
“What? This isn’t the end?”
“They said they purchased it very modestly because you are staying in someone else’s mansion.”
Lorencia was led by Blondie and entered the room where the next gift was. That gift room was filled with various items such as bags, parasols, various quill pens that could be used when studying, rare high-quality ink, and even cosmetics used by women. Lorencia’s eyes widened to the point where her mouth fell open at the gifts she received.
It didn’t feel like looking at the gifts she received, but rather like shopping.
After looking around all the rooms where the gifts were received, she returned to her room, and snacks were immediately prepared.
“I heard you like cocoa.”
“I don’t just like cocoa, I like the cocoa Ter makes for me.”
“Then today, I will make you a delicious fruit powder mixed in milk.”
“Fruit powder in milk?”
“I grew the fruits myself, dried them, ground them into powder, and added sugar to make it.”
“It sounds extremely sweet just hearing about it.”
The milk she brought was yellow. And when she drank the yellow milk for the first time, she was as shocked as when she first ate cocoa.
The taste was different from cocoa. After licking the yellow milk on her lips with her tongue, she asked Blondie for another glass.
“Is this milk?”
“Yes.”
“It’s milk mixed with banana powder.”
“It’s so delicious.”
Blondie encouraged eating and sleeping, just like Teishar. The difference from Teishar was that she didn’t feed her until she was full and gave her snacks every hour. And strangely, after eating, drowsiness poured in.
“I will read you a book.”
As Blondie read a fairy tale and rubbed her stomach, Lorencia felt sleepy. Leo must have liked Blondie too, as he sat on her lap, yawning and wagging his tail.
Whenever she closed her eyes and opened them, snacks or water were already prepared for her to eat.
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…?
