Lady Devil - Chapter 47
#47
Griselda felt that eerie fall with her nape and wrists. It may have crept through the door crack. No, perhaps it had oozed out stickily from the noblewoman’s genitals along with the amniotic fluid.
It was a strange chill. The cause was unknown. Ominous without knowing anything. Instinctively, she tried to turn her head to look out the window, but the closed window naturally revealed no changes. The entrance door was also shut.
Griselda knew it wasn’t locked, but that isolation feeling stripping her insides strand by strand. She shrank her young body. As if what was visible now wasn’t what she had been seeing, the entire birthing room felt empty, unfamiliar, and strange. Among them, the most peculiar was the midwife.
Since when had it been?
Hee, ugh… Hnnnggg….
The midwife, not thinking of delivering the baby, was staring fixedly at the noblewoman’s lower body while letting out bizarre moans. How her bony shoulders trembled like a wind-blown branch. Ahhh!
Griselda heard the noblewoman’s final scream. The baby seemed to have finally come out completely. But the midwife did not touch the mass spilled onto the bedding.
“De… mon!”
Instead, the midwife suddenly stood up and cried out while stepping back.
“It’s a demon!”
Until then, Griselda, who had been standing far away holding Giovinetta, saw the noblewoman rising. The noblewoman waved her trembling arms and looked down at herself.
And the face that followed was not at all the face of a woman who had seen her child. It was clearly a face stricken with unbearable terror. Her eyelids, still dark from the bruises inflicted by the duke, soon contorted like a ghost’s.
Huh, ugh, ughhh… She shed thick tears from her blue eyes, dropping them in spasms.
“No…”

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.”
