Lady Devil - Chapter 210
The next morning at dawn.
Griselda, who had been plagued by a strange nightmare, only jolted awake at the end of her dream. Her eyes wide open, she sat up abruptly, but without any small trembling or cold sweat on her upper body, so it wasn’t particularly due to fear.
She was just flustered, as if she had been suddenly struck on the crown of her head resting on the pillow. Where is this? She blinked her wide-open eyes rapidly. She saw an interior so bleak it was unmatched, with hardly any common decorations, let alone furniture. Even the sight of the early summer dawn eating away at the darkness in the room was familiar. It was her bedroom.
Griselda let out a short sigh, as if correcting her posture.
As she washed up briefly and changed clothes, she pondered deeply on the nightmare she had just had. It must have been quite a dream to make someone who had gone to bed completely exhausted from the afternoon’s commotion sit up in an instant. As often happens, she couldn’t recall a single fragment. Only the scent of charcoal and the smell of rain lingered at the tip of her nose like a shadow. All this….
‘That’.
It was because she had gone to sleep without constantly checking on it.
Griselda saw the faint furrowing of the brow of the woman adjusting her headdress in the hazy bronze mirror. That woman in the mirror. Certainly in her younger days, her eyes and hands were all nimble. That is, before she lost her husband. To be precise, before she miscarried the child they had conceived together….
Now she treats everything except Winfrid’s circumstances as casually as a vain autumn, but even to herself, that innate basic temperament was quite meticulous. So it must be weighing on her mind like such a persistent habit.
That feeling.
The identity of that intense impression received the day before.
Griselda, who left the bedroom carrying the water container placed at the doorway, stopped by the kitchen to get hot water first. While exchanging a few words of small talk with the cook who had been busy preparing breakfast early on, she checked the temperature by dipping her elbow into the water container.
“By the way…. I heard the young lady has started speaking, is that true?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Well, I never.”
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…?
