“Rumors say… it’s because Her Highness Hwangbi is coming that they canceled the party.”
“…What?”
Benjamin asked with a frown. Even that gesture was wild and sophisticated, so Edna teased. Yuriecen asked, tapping the table lightly.
“But where did this information come from?”
“Oh, a maid saw it.”
“A maid?”
“Yeah, she saw it when she picked up a fallen letter while other maids were comforting the lady. After the lady fainted upon reading the letter from the Imperial Palace. She picked it up and read it. The letter said something like, ‘I’m sorry for the delayed response; I just confirmed the invitation now. I want to attend even though it’s late.'”
“Really…”
“While other maids were attending to the lady, this maid saw the letter and read it. That’s what I heard.”
The maid’s story sounded plausible but was the least credible. It was the testimony of someone working in that mansion, but at the same time, how honest could be the words of someone selling stories about a loyal family.
However, Edna seemed to find the maid’s story quite plausible.
“No, think about it. Lady Staubin is already called the queen of the social circles. Having you and the Crown Prince as the first guests is undoubtedly exciting and good. But, if you make the slightest mistake, there’s a risk of losing all the attention and spotlight. Just with this, it seemed like she already had a headache.”
Yesterday, when she received a definite answer that Yuriecen would come, she could tell from Lady Staubin’s expression.
“I’m sure she pondered on how to maintain your and the Crown Prince’s status without diminishing your dignity. But what if Her Highness Hwangbi comes?”
“She would completely lose control. And if she makes a wrong move, her party and the Staubin Viscountcy could become the first to face the storm.”
“Exactly. So, isn’t it plausible that she hastily canceled the party? She can’t tell Her Highness Hwangbi not to come, so she said she would have a quiet month. Well, there’s also a saying that the wealth of the Staubin Viscountcy is the best among the viscounts.”
Given the prosperity of their territory, it was natural to attract the attention of the royal family. Canceling the party on the day to avoid going against Her Highness’s wishes was nothing less than a way of humbling the wealth of the territory.
‘And maybe… the reason Greta hastily notified about attending the party is because of us.’
The cunning woman, Greta. It was clear that she had noticed what Benjamin and Yuriecen were planning at the party they were hosting.
‘The information that we will definitely attend might have been known around Edna and Yeriel.’
Greta probably anticipated that they would cancel the party from the moment she expressed her intention to attend differently than usual on the invitation she formally sent. Even if they didn’t cancel it, it would be over if she attended herself.
“Anyway, even if it hasn’t been revealed to the world whether our hearts are truly connected, doing this now means…”
Benjamin, leaning towards Yuriecen, whispered.
“It can only be interpreted as completely killing it.”
“I also share the same thought.”
Even now, if it becomes known that the two truly had a connection… Even if not, it was uncertain how much more violent the opposition’s criticisms would become.
“But even so, we can’t back down.”
Yuriecen, who said that, looked at Edna, who was observing them with keen eyes.
“Edna, do you happen to know the guest list for this party? Except for those outside now.”
Yesterday, Edna met Molly first. There must be some overheard information.
“Yeah, I heard a few.”
‘As expected.’
Yuriecen inwardly rejoiced. There is a saying in the world: though a crisis is frightening, overcoming fear can turn it into an opportunity. Understanding her intentions from Yuriecen’s few words, Benjamin called for Mitchell by tapping on the carriage.
“Did you call?”
Daisy, who was standing by Mitchell, also slyly raised her head. Benjamin and Yuriecen spoke simultaneously.
“Inform Windsor to make arrangements.”
“Lady Staubin canceled the party, and it will be held at Windsor.”
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…?
