Marriage with the Younger Brother of the Man Who Betrayed Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
I couldn’t help but admire Ernant’s exceptional sense of timing.
Of all times to visit, it had to be now.
Just moments ago, Johannes had been venting his frustrations to Ernant, complaining this and that.
If Johannes and Ernant met now, it didn’t seem like pleasant words would be exchanged between them, so it appeared necessary to mediate.
Thus, as Johannes rose from his seat to greet Ernant, I stood up as well.
“Are you going to greet him too, sister? You must be tired.”
“I should. He might have come because of me, after all. Since I’m his partner for this event, there must be many things to discuss.”
“……”
“Absolutely do not think of protesting to His Majesty about that matter. I’ve already decided to become his partner.”
When I said that firmly, Johannes let out a long sigh.
He seemed utterly reluctant, but in the end, he nodded.
It appeared he intended to let it pass quietly this time, following my words.
And so, we headed together to the reception room where Ernant was waiting.
Ernant was there, leisurely sipping the tea served by the maid.
Then, upon seeing me enter the reception room, he smiled brightly.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.

After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
Took you so long!! I suspected him when he sneek up on you at the river and finally confirmed my suspicion of him since the Ball!!
There’s a limit to being kind and Yulia, You are not kind but damb!!!
