But neither the Duke nor the Duchess had time to check the dishes separately as they were all frantically meeting with dignitaries and superiors.
Let alone checking the dishes, the Duchess was so busy changing into appropriate dresses and preparing herself depending on the type and time of the appointments that she had no time to even blink.
He should know that since they were together all the time!
The Duchess, her face turning red, stamped her foot.
“Do you have any right to say that?! All this happened because of whom!”
“……”
Christina, who had been quietly watching the quarrel between the Duke and Duchess, flicked the ash from her cigarette into the ashtray and spoke.
“Shall I check in the future?”
The Duke and Duchess, who had been barking at each other, looked at their daughter in disbelief.
Christina, who had exhaled the last puff of smoke from her cigarette, spoke calmly.
“Mother and Father, you’re busy meeting superiors these days. You’ve been unable to focus on other things because you’ve been constantly bombarded with appointments.”
“……”
Christina stared at the Duke and Duchess and continued her words.
“Since I don’t really have anything else to do except dressing up and waiting for His Grace’s forgiveness every day, it seems right for me to do it. It would also be a good study for me as I will have to look after the house with His Grace soon.”
Christina……!
The astonished Duchess covered her mouth with her hand and looked at her mature daughter with moved eyes.
Christina’s words continued.
“After all, I will be the one in charge of this house.”
The Duchess was overjoyed.
“That’s right, Christina! I should have thought of you! These are all the things I should be handing down to you. Oh, how I’ve been out of my mind!”
The Duchess was glad to finally realize that she could keep living with her daughter, just like other houses.
“Now I can depend on you!”
If she had married out, she would have had to take care of her husband’s house, but since she had brought in a soninlaw.
After all, Christina was to be the hostess here.
It was certainly the right thing to say, but…
The Duke suspiciously eyed his daughter.
Christina met her father’s gaze and smiled.
[This is the time separator]“I was just busy. I didn’t think such an order would have such significant results compared to your perfect preparations.”
Mrs. Hurst spoke without batting an eye.
Christina, who laughed slightly, pointed to the jeweled ornaments placed on the table.
“Take it.”
[This is the time separator]“……”
“……”
Reina and Arthur were silent in front of the banquet table.
Mushrooms were on top of all the dishes set on the banquet table in front of them.
Reina’s pupils trembled.
What’s this?
Blatantly, mushrooms were on top of all the dishes.
Not only on salad or meat dishes, or hot pots where mushrooms are naturally suited.
Even on fruitladen yogurts, pure white milk pudding, and even in the center of the goldenbaked creme brulee.
On all the dishes that normally wouldn’t contain mushrooms.
Even the cute mushrooms with a white cross mark blatantly on their backs were on top.
When she saw a decorated mushroom even on top of a chocolate cake, she thought something was wrong.
“……”
Reina couldn’t believe the result.
It seems to be because of the note I sent.
Could it be that Arthur, hearing that he’s a mushroom picky eater, is such a petty revenge…?
But this is… isn’t it too childish?
Was this what you were planning to do…?
I sent that note with a rather serious mood thinking that I was whispering something to Arthur…
What’s the use of secretly sending notes like this?
Then Arthur would know that I’m conveying something about him outside.
Even that it’s about him being a picky eater, Arthur would know it all.

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…?
