My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
Today was the day a noble would personally visit the duke’s estate.
Chloe, who usually preferred simple attire while living in the mansion, was dressed extravagantly for once.
“The invited guests have arrived in the garden.”
Knock knock—the maid who came knocking on the door announced the guests’ arrival. Chloe walked toward the terrace and saw several ornate carriages already parked by the main gate.
“Let’s go to the drawing room. Has everything I requested been prepared?”
“Yes. The gifts have all been wrapped.”
“Thank you.”
As she entered the drawing room, the sweet scent of flowers tickled her nose.
Chloe carefully inspected everything she had prepared on the tea table.
On the elegant porcelain dessert tray sat cookies, scones, and cupcakes. Their colors were harmoniously arranged and neatly placed, making them look quite appetizing.
If there was one flaw, it was that the dessert utensils, set according to the number of guests, were slightly crooked.
After aligning them all properly, she felt at ease. Soon after, she expressed her satisfaction by thanking the servants for their efforts.
Knock knock.
“The Lady Lelianne of House Kerbios and the Lady Yuri of House Kristinin have arrived.”
At the maid’s announcement, two young women, adorned prettily in their own distinctive styles, walked in with firm steps.
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.”
Wow. Chloe hits and doesn’t care. Will he repeat the conversation while trembling.😨
Calm down, you are in front of the future empress.
Rather, she came to become the empress.
