After hearing their conversation, Erwel immediately came through the corridor window, pretending to run and trying to collide with Merie. If she did, Jane would undoubtedly throw herself to protect Merie.
Jane acted as Erwel expected.
Erwel examined the bottle here and there before putting it in the inner pocket of her dress.
“Should I slowly reveal my identity to Iris as well?”
I told Lishi, ‘It doesn’t have to be a very extravagant party,’ but the banquet hall was lavishly decorated. It exceeded Merie’s imagination.
Luxurious decorations in the spacious banquet hall, a skillful orchestra, and dishes made from expensive ingredients.
‘Well, there was no other choice.’
Even if Merie insisted on keeping it modest, doing so would invite criticism. Amidst rumors about Merie and Kay’s relationship, if the party hosted by Lishi for Merie’s welcome wasn’t up to par,
‘Lady Green, driven by jealousy, hosted a princess’s reception in such a manner. Unable to distinguish between public and private matters, Lady Green will have a hard time.’
That was bound to be the talk.
Merie first expressed her gratitude to Lishi for organizing such a splendid party.
Her attitude was so kind and sweet that it seemed to people as if Merie greatly admired and liked Lishi.
Nobles approached Merie to greet her, and Lishi quietly left the scene.
“I said it didn’t have to be such a grand party, but Lady Green really put a lot of effort.”
Merie’s voice reached Lishi’s ear as he walked.
Lishi smirked.
Her words revealed Merie’s true feelings.
“Yes, you can see the effort put into each detail.”
Ah, Lady Green’s words might not be what Merie wanted.
“Princess, you must be worried. After all, it hasn’t been long since you had a lavish wedding…”
Caroline Lovell, Lady Green, Merie’s maid, said the words Merie wanted to hear.
“Well… the wedding was indeed splendid.”
“Lady Green may not be that wealthy.”
“It must be Lady Green’s taste.”
“Probably. Lady Green lived modestly before her marriage. She rarely hosted parties and rarely participated.”
With Princess Merie present, the previously envious Madam quickly changed her attitude.
‘By the way, why isn’t Brittany mingling with that group? She would be the first to step forward and curse me more than anyone.’
Brittany was talking with servants away from Merie, enjoying conversation with the servants. Occasionally, she glanced in Lishi’s direction, but it wasn’t suspicious.
Everyone in this gathering had discreetly glanced at the face of the rumored ‘Lady Green.’
“Do you dislike the party?”
At the stern voice, everyone turned in that direction.
Mir was approaching Merie, twirling her staff. The party participants, unaware that the Duke of Milansis Piamon was also present in this mansion, looked at Mir with widened eyes.
“No, it’s not that I dislike it… It’s just too extravagant.”
Merie, who had just regained her composure, said.
Merie knew that Mir was staying in this mansion, but she didn’t know she would participate in the party.
“Fancy? Is this all? Oh, Princess of Minasaric is truly modest. To me, this is quite ordinary.”
“W-Well, it might be for the Duke. However… Lady Green, being modest…”
“Hmm? Why bring up Lady Green, who isn’t even present? Wasn’t it the princess who pressured Lady Green to host this party in the first place?”
“P-Pressure? I never did such a thing.”
“Well, anyway, isn’t it a fact that the princess asked for it?”
“No, I said I’m fine… but Lady Green insisted, saying it’s not proper etiquette…”
“Oh, I see. Well, it doesn’t matter.”
Merie was dumbfounded by Mir’s attitude.
How can someone be so audacious?
But Merie had heard rumors about Mir as well.
A person who, the more you try to block, the more they drag you into a swamp. Someone with whom there’s nothing good about competing.
And it turned out to be true.
Every time Merie said something, Mir’s inappropriate remarks made Merie increasingly embarrassed.
“Although Lady Green is the host of this party, I sponsored it.”
“What?”
“A princess coming to my friend’s house, awkwardly asking my friend’s wife to host a party, and as a friend, I had to help, right? Isn’t that so? Hahaha.”
No one joined in the laughter, but Mir laughed cheerfully, as if there were no more amusing jokes.
Merie barely managed to resist the urge to hit Mir on the head.
“Now that it’s like this, don’t worry too much about this splendor and enjoy it, Princess.”
After finishing her words, Mir, swinging her staff, moved towards another group.
Merie, with a reddened face, glared at Mir’s back and muttered.
“Why… How did Lady Green convey her words to the Duke…”
“It’s probably not Lady Green’s fault, Your Highness. Piamon, the Duke, tends to say things that he doesn’t need to, causing trouble for people…”
The Countess, who had been happily gossiping about Lishi’s glamorous wedding, whispered. Other noblewomen nodded in agreement.
“That’s right. Lady Green might be in trouble too.”
“Look at her expression over there. She doesn’t know what to do.”
“Piamon, the Duke, is a bit embarrassing, being involved with him like this…”
“Although he’s good for casual dating, the nickname ‘a man who’s good for nothing but love, not marriage’ fits him well.”
“Sigh, I don’t even want to date.”
Among the noblewomen, Mir’s evaluation was lower than Lishi’s.
Observing Merie, who was trying hard to mask her annoyance with a blue face, Lishi quietly watched and then averted his gaze.
In fact, Mir did not sponsor this party.
Before preparing for the party, Lishi visited Mir and asked for a favor.
[Dashi]”Mir, can you sponsor this party for the Duke?”
Mir didn’t ask for reasons.
[Dashi]”Oh, sure. What can’t I do for a beautiful lady?”Mir acted as if something was missing, but in fact, he was a clever man.
He saw through why Lishi made such a request and protected Lishi by saying unnecessary things.
Now, Merie wouldn’t even dare to talk about Lishi’s simplicity.
‘The reason for asking to host the party can’t be just that… What else is he planning to do?’
While Lishi was dealing with approaching people, thinking about how Merie would attack, a servant guarding the door announced the arrival of Prince LaCroix.
“His Imperial Highness, the Second Prince, is entering.”
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…?
