My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 85
It was a grave crime for an unrelated outsider to sever the fate and life bestowed by the Creator.
Murder and attempted murder were sins that defied the will of the gods, and thus carried severe punishments.
Therefore, defendants appearing in court for murder or attempted murder were not even assigned legal representatives, for defending someone who might have defied divine will was considered a luxury.
Jane, seated as the plaintiff, was accompanied by the Chief Prelate acting as her representative. Public sympathy poured in from all sides upon the announcement of the trial in the newspapers.
In contrast, Helena had no one at all.
It was a lonely battle.
“The trial shall now commence. All spectators, please remain silent.”
At the deputy prelate’s solemn voice, the courtroom—occasionally filled with murmurs—fell quiet.
“This trial is to determine the truth behind the accusation that the defendant, Helena Arhen, attempted to murder and threatened the plaintiff, Jane Hazel.”
His head tilted toward the plaintiff.
“Representative, please state the claims upon which this trial was requested.”
“Yes, Your Honor.”
The representative assisting Jane rose briskly from his seat.
“The victim, Miss Jane Hazel, was employed by the Arhen ducal household, and the Duchess Arhen was Miss Hazel’s employer. Last year, Miss Hazel chose to leave her post and return to her hometown. Since her hometown was not far from the ducal domain, the ducal household specially prepared a carriage for her return journey.”
After finishing this initial background explanation, the representative paused briefly before continuing.
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…?

Wow, she really has no clue what personal accountability is. Nor does she have any self-awareness.
Lol, what a ridiculously mysterious way of stating when the appointment time is. Although, I did get the impression the guy is a sorcerer or magician of some sort. Did he implant those thoughts into Helena’s mind during the trial?
It seems to me that Kalis was not as attached to Helena as I had previously thought. He behaved as if utterly devoted to her initially. Did he even really mourn her death? He tossed her and their unborn child aside quite cruelly. I was surprised he behaved that way towards their child and Helena considering all he sacrificed to keep Helena in his life and at the estate. Perhaps he did not consider what he lost as a sacrifice but as things that were stolen from him by Chloe and now, the emperor. Helena too did not comprehend personal accountability nor being responsible for one’s own actions. Those two shared quite a few undesirable traits. The most surprising one being how entitled they behaved considering their stations.
