The head of the corpse hidden under a white cloth, the protruding hair really made an uncomfortable imagination that it might be Lina lying there.
“Duke…”
Was Lawrence having an ominous imagination like the Duke? His voice calling Valige trembled faintly.
‘There’s no way.’
Valige did not think that the one lying there was Lina. He had come here just to get the certainty that it was not her.
But then.
His footsteps didn’t fall as if he had sandbags on his ankles. Just because the hair color was the same, how could this happen.
The silvergrey hair was a very common color. So it was just a woman with the same hair color.
Thinking so, he slowly moved his steps.
“Is this the one you’re looking for?”
The security officer, who had gone ahead of Valige, uncovered the white cloth over the corpse. It was difficult to identify the corpse from the face as the decay had progressed considerably. But still.
“Duke, the length of the hair and the height….”
It was similar. Grey hair reaching just over the shoulders, and not a particularly tall height.
Even though he couldn’t recognize the face, Lawrence started to feel certain that the corpse lying there was Lina.
“No. It doesn’t seem to be the one I was thinking of.”
However, the Duke recited in a more determined voice than ever.
“But, Duke. The physical features are similar to the lady’s….”
“Lawrence.”
With eyes that seemed to say don’t say anything more.
“It’s not her if I say it’s not.”
(This is a time separator.)
“Sigh[—]. It’s so frustrating to not talk all day, I feel like dying….”
It was when Lina leaned on the chair and took a breath for a moment. She had been dragged around all day working and forgot to take out the pocket she had.
“It looks like money to treat….”
It was the money pouch that Lawrence had handed over to Lina to get treated. It was quite a large amount of money, enough to buy at least 5 magic potions.
Originally, she would have refused the money, but now she was not in a position to argue about it.
“Besides, I couldn’t buy the potion today.”
Lina, who couldn’t even leave the inn due to the overwhelming workload all day.
Eventually, Lina, who decided to go to the magic shop as soon as the day broke tomorrow, was about to return to the room to rest.
“Teo!”
As expected, knowing she was trying to rest, the owner called her like a ghost.
Thereupon, Lina, cursing internally, approached the landlord with dragging steps.
“Did you call?”
In his hand was a soup, steaming hot as if it had just come out.
“You take this to room 302.”
“Me……?”
Yesterday evening. The owner, who knew that her throat was hurt because of the guest in room 302, thought that he would never send her on errands to that place again.
But less than a day had passed, and she was sent to that room again.
Startled, Lina shook her head violently, forgetting about her injured throat, and blood began to ooze from the wound that had been healing.
However, even seeing blood coming from her throat, the owner spoke with an annoyed voice.
“You have no choice but to go, the guest in that room specifically asked for you to bring it. Is there something caught in room 302?”
‘Damn it.’
Lina sighed softly, looking at the soup in her hand.
‘Why does he keep calling me? Surely he hasn’t noticed something, has he?’
But soon, she denied her thoughts.
‘No, if he had noticed even a little, he wouldn’t be acting like that. It’s nothing serious. I just have to deliver this quickly.’
Lina pressed her wig down with one hand, and then went up to the third floor.
Knock[knock].
“Come in.”
Upon entering, Duke Valige was continuously drinking without even glancing at Lina.
‘Surely, has he drunk all that? All by himself……?’
Seeing the bottles scattered on the floor, her forehead furrowed.
‘What on earth is he planning by drinking so much…….’
In an instant, Lina, who had been looking at the Duke with worried eyes, quickly hid her expression and quietly put down the soup.
And she bowed, preparing to leave the room.
“Did you not receive the money?”
Duke Valige, who Lina thought would ignore her, made her jump with his unexpected question.
“Surely Lawrence gave enough compensation. Was the money insufficient?”
Somehow angered by Duke Valige’s words, Lina quickly shook her head.
“Then why are you still going around like that?”
Lina raised her hand and stroked around her neck. The white cloth that had been wrapped around her injured neck was stained red with the blood that had leaked earlier.
“Are you protesting against me?”
But Lina, who couldn’t make any excuses, could only avoid his gaze by lowering her head.
Duke Valige, looking at Lina avoiding his gaze once again, growled softly.
“Lift your head.”
Then he stood up from the chair and took a step toward Lina.
“Never bow your head like that in front of me again.”
Duke Valige, who had come close to her nose, whispered in her ear.
“It’s annoying.”
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…?
