Assuming that they didn’t see each other much right after marriage and it was awkward, Blair and Herdin seemed to get along well after the day Blair collapsed in front of the fireplace.
‘For a while, she didn’t come out of the bedroom, so I was more worried about Madam…’
However, at some point, Herdin stopped visiting the bedroom, and the atmosphere between them became cold. To anyone who saw them, they looked like a couple who had quarreled.
Even on the day they returned together from the Taiho Palace, it seemed like they had reconciled, but as I observed more, it didn’t seem so. Especially after the day they visited the art museum a few days ago, Blair seemed to intentionally avoid meal gatherings.
Normally, servants shouldn’t pretend not to hear anything beyond their master’s orders and shouldn’t ask uninvited questions. However, it doesn’t mean they don’t notice things that are plainly visible and audible.
The two of them had a significant argument. It was clear. However, it wasn’t the place for the servants, even though they were a couple, to meddle in. A marital dispute was solely the business of the two involved.
However, as this period approached nearly a month, Melly began to worry about Blair. Since the maids stopped tormenting Lena after getting caught by Herdin, although they weren’t affectionate, they refrained from harassing her.
‘But if the current standoff between the two continues…’
Melly hoped Blair wouldn’t go through the same ordeal as before. It was partly because of the lingering guilt from the past, and partly due to the growing genuine affection towards Blair.
However, Lena was firmly in the opposing camp against the resolute Herdin.
“It’s definitely His Excellency’s fault. Definitely! Definitely! Madam is right.”
“No, it’s not about blaming or not. It’s your business, not ours to judge. What I mean is, it doesn’t seem right to keep it like this.”
“Then?”
“Whether they reconcile or fight more, wouldn’t it be better to face it?”
However, Lena, who was absolutely on Blair’s side, furrowed her brow.
“Why does the madam have to make such an effort? It should be the frustrating person doing it.”
“Well, it’s because the madam doesn’t express herself, so it must be frustrating. Still, he’s your husband.”
Lena could no longer vent her frustration at Herdin and tightly sealed her lips.
Melly’s words were somewhat true. No matter how close Blair got to herself, she was still the mistress, and Lena was the maid.
In this mansion, the only family Blair could rely on was Herdin, only one person.
Lena still disliked Herdin, but for Blair’s sake, she decided to listen a bit more to Melly’s story.
“Anyway, so?”
“How about creating some time for the two of you to be together?”
“What can we do about it?”
“Well, that’s…”
Melly, who was pondering with a serious face for a moment, let out a small sigh as if something had come to her mind.
This is a different development from the previous life.
Blair looked at the unfolding scene with surprised eyes.
In the sitting room, summoned during the preparations for the banquet, the Viscountess Cionelle and her attendants were laying out completed dresses and men’s formal wear.
This was the scene Blair expected until she came to the bedroom.
Except for my husband, who is sitting next to me sideways, watching the scene together.
Blair glanced at Herdin with perplexed eyes.
‘Why is this person here?’
The beginning of the incident was a week ago.
Viscountess Cionelle came to the Duke’s residence to prepare outfits for the banquet.
“Madam, how about matching outfits for couples? It’s a trend among young lovers or newlyweds these days. In places like crowded parties, it immediately shows that this man is my man.”
In the previous life, the Viscountess had also suggested matching outfits.
Having heard her story, Blair followed her suggestion and matched outfits as per her opinion. As a newlywed deeply in love, the bride was eager to reveal her love but felt frustrated that her husband didn’t.
However, now that she had returned to the past, she realized that all of that was futile.
Blair expressed her desire to make ordinary dresses instead of matching outfits.
However, Melly and Lena, who were listening to their conversation from behind, unexpectedly intervened.
“Madam, I would like to see you in matching outfits.”
“As the Viscountess, this is your first party. Wouldn’t it be nice to decorate the two masters of the duke’s family to stand out?”
After a moment of contemplation, Blair readily accepted the two earnest suggestions.
While she didn’t particularly want to match outfits, there was no special reason to ignore the two’s request.
“Anyway, it will look nice to have matching outfits at the party.”
Instead, this time, she chose a different design from her previous life. Wearing the same design twice would be dull.
In any case, the process led to the same result as in the past life, matching outfits as a couple, so I thought the future would follow suit.
In the past life, he only tried on matching outfits on the day of the banquet.
In other words, it means that in the past life, he didn’t appear at the fitting session before the banquet where the completed clothes were worn.
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…?
