One Day My Sister Died (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
122. The Lady of Locksenhart
2024.01.30.
“The Crown Prince is currently staying at a town house located in the wealthy district. I heard he wished to leave the cold northern regions and indulge himself in the warm southern seas and the company of women? Wait—hold on. If you’re here for an interview, you should go to the annex where the women gather, not here.”
“If you’ve come merely to serve tea and run errands, then leave at once.”
“How rude!”
The chattering maids’ voices abruptly ceased due to a man’s sharp rebuke.
The butler, who had just escorted Empress Marilyn and Noel to the guest room, was now rushing toward them, visibly pale.
“Please forgive my rudeness. I am Butler Gobban. It’s currently the social season, and the marquisate is receiving numerous guests, so these young maids failed to properly recognize you.”
The middle-aged man, well-built and sweating profusely, bowed deeply.
Introducing himself as Gobban, the butler of the marquis, he appeared completely overwhelmed—constantly checking a thick bundle of papers in his hand, marking lines with his quill, and verifying the gifts Empress Marilyn had brought.
In front of Yuan and Tasha’s eyes, he sternly scolded the young maids while bowing apologetically—though to Tasha, it seemed like a performative scolding meant only to impress finicky noble ladies from the capital.
After all, the maids didn’t appear particularly frightened by the butler’s reprimand. He bowed again.
“Why has the Crown Prince suddenly traveled to the south?”
Tasha asked in an interrogative tone, causing Butler Gobban to startle. He glared once more at the maids before carefully choosing his words.
“Lady Kimfri, if I may say so, that is not a matter easily spoken of by someone like me.”
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.”

The more her trembling eyes scrutinized his face, the more her heart sank.
It’s hard to believe that they still can’t talk to each other sincerely…
“Did you know your heart is weak?”
Urgh, it’s so annoying that he started to believe her only now…
Fail.
Don’t fail then ?? 😭 Gosh I need to read something less stressing
