“Damn you…!”
Lady Andini Marquis jumped up and rushed toward Milé, the wife of the Duke.
However, she couldn’t reach her, blocked by the bars.
Lady Andini Marquis reached through the bars, trying to grab Milé’s dress.
But Milé stepped back, leaving Lady Andini Marquis grasping at thin air.
“You’re really scary.”
Contrary to her words, Milé, the wife of the Duke, was smiling. It only fueled Lady Andini Marquis’s anger.
“What did you put in the food!”
With a tongue stiffening and pronunciation becoming difficult, Lady Andini Marquis shouted loudly.
“Even while everyone is dying, your spirit remains unchanged. Is that enough for the last question in your life?”
“…?”
Milé, as if expressing frustration, spoke.
“What’s important is not what was put in the food but who ordered to poison it. You should have asked that.”
Milé’s tone resembled scolding a child.
Lady Andini Marquis, suffering from a pain that felt like it was tearing through her, staggered and collapsed to the ground, unable to withstand the pain.
“Ah…”
She didn’t need an answer; she already knew.
Who had ordered poison to be added to the food her family and she had eaten.
But if she admitted it, there would be nothing left in Lady Andini Marquis’s life.
Neither the high status she had longed for, nor the affluent and comfortable life. In this filthy and dirty underground prison where she was dying, there was nothing useful.
She might even lose her honor.
Milé, the wife of the Duke, clicked her tongue at Lady Andini Marquis, who refused to utter Hwangbi’s name.
“Stubborn and loyal to no avail. You’ve been loyal to one person all your life, and in the end, this is how it turns out.”
Milé, who sighed lightly, looked at Lady Andini Marquis’s daughter and husband sprawled on the ground and turned around.
Watching Milé’s retreating figure disappearing in the fading sight, Lady Andini Marquis mumbled.
“…You seem different from me?”
Milé, the wife of the Duke, stopped and turned around.
“To curse until just before death…”
She was truly herself.
Lady Andini Marquis, even among Hwangbi’s maids, was the most loyal to Hwangbi.
If Hwangbi said a word for her to die, she would act as if she were flattened on the ground, pretending to die.
And her loyalty and Lady Andini Marquis’s change made her husband’s elevation to the position of Duke.
Born into a lower noble family, she had reached the pinnacle of the social hierarchy without marrying a husband of a higher status.
So, Milé, the wife of the Duke, had once admired her.
Not anymore.
While going to report that the situation with Hwangbi was over, Milé, the wife of the Duke, had to push the words lingering in her mind out.
‘…You seem different from me?’
After escaping from the underground prison, Milé, the wife of the Duke, went straight to find Hwangbi.
She was getting ready for the upcoming dinner banquet.
“I’m back, Lady Hwangbi.”
Hwangbi gestured for Milé to come closer. Milé whispered quietly, audible only to Hwangbi.
“They will discover it soon.”
“Aren’t you resisting?”
“…Yes.”
Hwangbi sighed lightly.
“I guess the Empress can’t endure this any longer.”
Then, other maids helping with Hwangbi’s attire burst into laughter.
“I bet she was bragging about having a winning move, but now the Empress’s nose must be flat.”
“Who knows. By now, she might be yelling to bring the Imperial doctor, claiming her blood pressure is rising.”
The maids whispered, and Hwangbi laughed along with them without a care.
“…”
Milé, the wife of the Duke, stood a little distance away, observing their figures.
The one who ordered to eliminate the witness was Hwangbi, and Milé, the wife of the Duke, now carried out the work as her closest confidante.
The other maids were still unaware of the exact outcome of the Anthony Marquis family.
Hwangbi gestured to Milé, who was standing at a distance and not mingling with the crowd.
“Bring the jewelry box.”
At Hwangbi’s words, the maids paused in their actions.
“…”
Until now, the only person who could touch Hwangbi’s jewelry box was the maid, Lady Anthony Marquis.
Since she was not present at the moment, Milé, the wife of the Duke, might have been entrusted with the task instead.
However, the maids were not so oblivious as to let this situation pass without paying attention.
“Lady Milé, are you going to keep standing there?”
“No, Your Highness Hwangbi.”
With a smirk at Hwangbi’s provocation, Milé gracefully moved to the adjacent room.
The maids, who had stopped their movements and remained silent, resumed their swift actions on Hwangbi’s attire.
“Hwangbi, Your Highness! We urgently have something to report.”
At that moment, an attendant hurriedly entered the dressing room.
Hwangbi nodded, indicating the attendant to speak.
“It seems like the Anthony Marquis family has taken their own lives!”
“…!”
The maids gasped, exchanging glances with each other.
“Was there no trace of an intruder?”
To Hwangbi’s question, the attendant firmly shook his head.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
