The Ex-Husband Demands Reunion (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 72
Sir Mild knew why I had been rendered completely helpless.
An administrative error had occurred due to the exchange of identity tags. But there was still a way to be released immediately.
‘Even if my identity tag has changed, my master-servant contract with Count Morris hasn’t been terminated yet…’
So I sought out Philip. But Ellen had come with a priest.
Unfortunately, without Philip’s influence, it felt as though interrogation and beatings were already booked for the entire week.
Yet I had no regrets.
‘If only I’d slashed a bit deeper, I might have uncovered the mastermind.’
I was only disappointed that I hadn’t managed to expose the culprit’s backer.
The next day, around noon, Sir Mild was released.
I wondered if Philip had finally stepped in and used his influence.
In any case, it was good to be out. Stepping outside, the light dazzled me.
Not just from the sunlight—but even more so from Ellen standing right before me.
“Sir Mild!”
It made me happy that Ellen, now alone, was glad to see me.
A broad smile nearly burst forth, but Sir Mild quickly concealed the expression that had almost shown.
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.”
