“Tsk tsk, look. They even brought a child who can’t speak well. Moreover, they are behaving like this at the king’s invited dinner. It’s disgraceful. I might throw up even while eating.”
“Madam, please don’t be like that. It can’t be helped that commoners are insensitive to rumors. If you knew that people were dying here not long ago, could you still say such indifferent words?”
Then, the sound of sniffing came from the mercenary guild leader and the regional guild leader with the position of a viscount, who had been quietly keeping their mouths shut, knowing well about the ominous rumors spreading in social circles.
However, the regional guild leaders from the artisan guild, who heard this, were surprised and asked.
“Madam, w-what are you talking about?”
But the merchant guild leader, wearing a flashy dress, didn’t even look at them.
“Good heavens, daring to make eye contact and speak without permission?”
To the earnest question filled with sincerity, she just waved the fan powerfully with a haughty face, as if swatting away a fly.
And then, at that moment, Butler Button appeared with the maids.
“First, please have the prepared meal, and then everyone will meet the king together. The children will go to the second dining room, and the adults will go to the first dining room where the king is. Please follow me.”
In this way, the adults and the children went separately. The adults opened the door to the first dining room.
There was a large window big enough for cheers to come out, revealing the snowy winter garden landscape. Ironically, although there was not a single cold air, this place was warm, thanks to the firewood fully loaded in the large fireplace above.
And there was only one piece of furniture there.
King Lucia, sitting at the head of the long table.
“Please sit quickly.”
Responding to his gruff hospitality, people who regained their senses quickly began to sit in a hurry.
However, those who didn’t seem to have any intention of moving were people whose attire was not as good as the busy ones.
Then, Lucia asked.
“What’s the matter?”
“As expected, it seems uncomfortable for commoners to sit in the same place.”
The members of the artisan guild were surveying their seats on their own, hesitating.
“So, you didn’t prepare separate seats.”
However, Lucia calmly pointed to the opposite side where the nouveau riche were sitting.
Then, the demeanor of the nouveau riche became suspicious.
“Forgive me, Your Highness. Commoners and nobles do not sit together.”
As the splendid woman in the front row spoke, Lucia chuckled.
“That’s odd. If it’s such a problem, wouldn’t it be strange for you to sit here with me?”
“W-well…! It is truly an honor, but…”
“In that case, they also consider it an honor.”
Having said that much, the merchant guild leader from the capital had nothing more to say.
And only then did the artisan guild leaders start to move.
They hesitated but eventually took their seats across from the mercenaries and merchant guild leaders. However, the eye contact between them and their counterparts seemed very uncomfortable.
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…?
