The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 85
A tray stacked with an assortment of desserts and an intricately crafted tea set adorned the table like decorations.
With a delicate floral fragrance, the brewed black tea filled the teacups with a clear, gentle sound. As she set down the teapot, Ophelia spoke toward Aidel seated across from her.
“Please help yourself. I haven’t prepared much.”
“Don’t say that—it’s a splendid tea set.”
Though she claimed it wasn’t much, it was clearly a carefully arranged afternoon tea set. Moreover, the tea foods were astonishingly composed exclusively of desserts Aidel favored.
This was the first time Aidel had ever shared a tea time alone with another woman of her age. For someone who had never had a same-sex friend until now, it was a strange yet exhilarating new experience.
“……!”
Aidel’s eyes widened as she lifted her teacup to inhale its aroma. It was brewed from the very tea leaves she usually enjoyed. Sensing that the seemingly reserved princess had secretly gone to great lengths for this gathering, Aidel let a gentle smile grace her lips.
“Thank you for inviting me to this tea time.”
“Well… it’s just that… conversations among men are so predictable, aren’t they?”
After exchanging greetings with the members of the Lisandro Imperial Family, Ophelia had declared she wished to spend time with the Grand Duchess and other women alone. She had then promptly brought Aidel along to the separate palace where she was staying.
“Of course, I’d feel uncomfortable seeing those fools—and especially Grand Duke Elyos….”
“Hm? I didn’t quite catch what you just said.”
Ophelia muttered softly, recalling faces she’d rather avoid. Aidel, failing to understand, tilted her head in confusion.
“Oh, it’s nothing important.”
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…?
