The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 236
Abelus thought Megara’s words were utterly absurd.
“Sister plotting to harm Father? Maggie, what would she possibly gain from that?”
He, too, could perform a simple calculation. Just as Kaymil topped the list of those with reason to want him dead, she appeared far down the list of those who might wish to assassinate the Emperor.
If the Emperor died now, Abelus would immediately ascend the throne. And as always, the children of a titleholder became collateral relatives the moment someone else inherited that title.
Besides, even if Abelus now regarded Kaymil with some suspicion, unless she intended to gather nobles and openly rebel—which was unlikely—she would be among those suffering the most should anything happen to the Emperor right now.
Megara had anticipated Abelus’s reaction. So she made the most guileless, pitiful face she could manage.
“That’s precisely why I found it so strange, Your Highness. I’m truly worried you might think I dare harbor ill will toward Her Imperial Highness…”
“I don’t believe you’re framing Sister. You’ve nearly died twice, yet remain so kind.”
Bewitched by those large, dewy eyes, Abelus was completely smitten.
The two were attending a party hosted by Marquis Rikeandros. In the past, such events would have been spearheaded by Rebecca, and high society—while mocking her behind their backs—would have naturally accepted it.
Now, however, with the late marchioness’s natal family watching Rebecca like hawks and slandering her relentlessly, she couldn’t appear in public for some time.
They’d passed off a commoner’s bastard as noble blood. Though no one dared speak aloud of it—thanks to Abelus’s favor toward Megara and the apathy of other high nobles—the House of Rikeandros had drawn considerable scorn.
And there was only one way for the late marchioness’s natal family to avoid sharing in that disgrace:
to cast the marchioness as a helpless victim.
In rumor, the marchioness had become a tragic figure—forced by her brazen husband and his wicked concubine to accept another woman’s child, bearing that wound all her life until her early death.
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…?
