He grabbed the black part of his clothes as if his throat was dry, and after opening it crudely, he yelled.
“I didn’t come here to say this today. I’ve decided to stop just watching you any longer. You must survive for anything to be possible! Damn it, I’ve got one more thing to worry about.”
Addressing Yuan’s frozen face, Sukbu pounded his chest and spoke.
In the distance, the guards from the black mansion and Marjorine’s voice, chasing after her, could be heard.
“The only place that can slightly prolong your life is the Pelieres mansion. I, Sukbu, know more about this disease than anyone else! Have you forgotten all the countless research we did together to save your sister? Among those researches, many remarkable achievements in treating various diseases were made. How valuable is this work?”
Sukbu whispered quickly.
“This is the last warning spoken in good words. Come back. If you return as promised last time, prioritize your words over the words of your cousins or aunts. The treatment will be different from before. It means I acknowledge you as a complete partner!”
“I’m not going to die.”
“I earnestly hope so. But, just in case, if the hereditary disease that killed your sister manifests in you—”
Knock, knock, knock, knock!
As the voices of people approached, someone urgently knocked on the carriage door from outside.
Sukbu quickly turned the mask. A warning shot with just enough eyes peeking out through the black cloth with holes, he stared at her.
“You’ll die soon too.”
After Sukbu left, the guards who had been diligently following the carriage and Marjorine appeared.
Marjorine, with a pale face, looked into the open carriage and, upon finding Yuan, sighed with relief.
“I thought Madam would come out late, and in the meantime, something like this happened. Madam, are you okay? Where are you injured? Where did the people driving the carriage go? We need to send a message to Lord Lave.”
“…….,”
“Madam? Why is your face like that? Did you have a severe nosebleed?”
“They mistook my master’s carriage for theirs, so I hope they just turn back without causing a fuss. Marjorine.”
“Oh. Yes, I understand.”
Marjorine glanced at Yuan’s atmosphere, different from usual, without saying a word and closed the carriage door without military formalities.
After a while, the voices of people checking the carriage swept Yuan’s ears, and soon the carriage started moving very slowly.
‘The curse of that dreadful family has manifested in you too, Yuan. And you still claim not to be a Pelieres?’
‘Have you forgotten why your sister died? Suppose she died because of her short lifespan in the imperial court. If she died because of a short lifespan, there must be a reason. Damn hereditary disease! Your sister slowly died with a face and symptoms just like yours. You should know better since you were close.’
Chewing on Sukbu’s words, Yuan, who had been pondering, couldn’t endure the tumultuous feeling inside.
“Wooh-!!”
“Madam!”
As the carriage door, which had been lightly closed, suddenly opened, a commotion erupted in the small procession.
The stomach that had been upset due to motion sickness and Bolonico since the morning completely flipped when the mind became uncomfortable.
Since she hadn’t eaten anything, only stomach acid came up.
Yuan wiped her dirty face with a wet handkerchief.
Standing in the middle of the forest, where spring had arrived, and struggling with the swirling vision, she barely managed to regain her focus.
In response to Marjorine’s worried voice, who had been tapping her back, Yuan, with a pale face, replied.
“I’m fine.”
She was not fine at all.
‘You’ll die soon too.’
Sukbu’s voice lingered in her ears like a curse, refusing to flow out.
“Still?”
As the sun set and the owner still hadn’t returned, the servants were becoming increasingly uneasy.
Suddenly, as the servants were starting to worry about Yuan’s whereabouts, Clad’s expression darkened.
After Ranslet left, Gustaf, the butler, who was examining the sparkling cover of the latest version of the in his hands, reassured Clad with the promise to send the guards to meet him, saying there would be no trouble.
Clad casually carried the thick book, clearly brand new, like a sandwich, and wandered around the western annex as if on a picnic.
The red outer wall, now clean and shining under the twilight, sparkled as if the human figures could be seen when examined closely.
It was also the result of frequent wiping by the servants passing by.
The ivy, entwined like human veins between the outer walls, had already taken up half of the annex as its territory.
The fresh and massive leaves easily swayed even with a gentle breeze.
Clad, casually poking the leaves that were flaunting their presence with a sound each time they hit the wall, killing time, suddenly furrowed his brows as darkness began to gather.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Eddy Lave arrived at the mansion, following the procession that went out to fetch water, led by Yuan.
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…?
