My Mistress Became My Wife (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 2
It was that afternoon when Willis Mohamad, her assigned attorney, came to see Lily.
Having just seen Harold off and taking a stroll in the garden with her mother, Lily was slightly startled by the lawyer’s sudden visit and headed to the reception room.
“I hope you’ve been well, Lady Benjamin.”
Despite showing up unannounced, the lawyer’s expression was unusually cheerful. Reassured that nothing troubling had occurred, Lily shook his hand with relief.
“Thanks to your concern, I’ve been doing well. I hope you’ve been well too, Counselor?”
“Yes. Aside from my son, who’s recently started talking nonstop and bombarding me with questions, everything’s fine.”
As they exchanged brief pleasantries, a maid set the table and left. Wisps of white steam rose from the teacups between them.
“What brings you here today?”
After taking a sip of tea, Lily asked. The lawyer reached into his bag, pulled out a brown envelope, and handed it to her.
“Today, the defendant transferred the full amount for the divorce settlement and compensation.”
She had been told the sum was so large it would take at least three months—and even then, full payment wasn’t guaranteed—but now, barely a month later, the entire amount had arrived.
Surprised, Lily carefully checked every document the lawyer from Frederick’s side had sent: the payment statement, receipts, and all related paperwork.
“It really… all came through.”
Even after verifying everything, she still found it hard to believe and spoke with a dazed tone. Willis Mohamad gave her a gentle, understanding smile.
“The full amount has been deposited into your account at the Imperial Bank. You can withdraw it whenever you need, or even request a checkbook in advance if you’d like.”

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.”
