She simply noticed that the food going into the palace noticeably increased, and a large amount of stones and building materials, whose purpose she could not discern, were being supplied.
So Anbeuh headed to the Nordend Kingdom without hesitation.
And as soon as she arrived at the palace, she received a treatment befitting the heir of ‘Taren’.
Despite the sudden visit, she met the crown prince and the finance minister without an appointment.
Anbeuh proposed better trade terms to him.
“I would like to confirm that the goods traded under the name of Taren are correct.”
At her words, the finance minister was greatly delighted and nodded readily.
Thus, Anbeuh confirmed all the luxury goods and trivial items used all over the palace.
“This is the last. It’s Taren indeed. Even after the transaction, they don’t forget such…”
“I’m sorry to interrupt you.”
“Ah, it’s okay. Please speak.”
Looking at a rare decoration in the finance minister’s office, which was clearly provided by Taren, Anbeuh said,
“One of the items supplied by our family is missing.”
At her words, the finance minister shook his head as if it couldn’t be.
“I’ve checked everything.”
“No. The stone is missing. A huge amount of good quality stone.”
“That…well, the stone should be used well in the garden. You can let one pass.”
“We need to finish well.”
With an innocent face, Anbeuh said with an innocent smile that she would have to see it for herself, at which the finance minister made an awkward face.
“No matter how you are the honor of Taren, this can’t go any further.”
At that, Anbeuh tilted her head.
“It can’t? As I said, I just want to confirm that the right products are being used appropriately in the right places.”
She pressed on with a consistent argument, but the finance minister just shook his head stubbornly.
It’s no wonder because the place where that ‘stone’ is used is a secret known only to a few in the palace.
It was a funny story that it was a secret to build a new building by demolishing a palace on one side of the palace, but the finance minister believed it as magic that it was a secret.
Facing the finance minister who was only shaking his head, Anbeuh said with a smiling face.
“I see. Then let’s end the trade with the Nordend Kingdom.”
It was such a lighthearted word that the finance minister just blinked, but soon he understood what she meant and shouted out loud.
“What, what! The trade is not something that can be ended at will like a child’s play!”
However, the cute rebellion of the finance minister was completely silenced in front of the name of Taren.
In the end, he, with a face like a crumpled tissue, took Anbeuh to the construction site that should have been a secret.
And now.
Isaac grabbed the handle trying to wave goodbye.
If my eyes are not wrong, that woman is definitely the honor of Taren.
She headed to the empire after receiving an outrageous order to captivate the princess, so the key people in the empire must know.
Of course, the honor of Taren is one of those key people.
Yes. How could such an important person, who even passed the brink of death recently, suddenly appear in the Nordend Kingdom?
Isaac, who found Anbeuh, couldn’t hide his confusion, but he didn’t suddenly jump out of the shadow.
Come to think of it, he vaguely remembered the words of Her Highness the Princess.
‘We collect information through trade from Taren, but we only figured out roughly.’
You’re not here to find detailed information instead of rough information.
The next heir of the Taren family, who has no special skills in collecting information and disturbing like him, will not just enter the middle of the enemy territory for that reason.
But you’re already in, right?
Isaac gave up thinking more and immediately abandoned his plan to go downstairs.
He naturally returned to his original work position as if breathing, and because of that, the laborer carrying the stone right behind Isaac stopped abruptly.
“Huh? Why did you suddenly stop?”
The laborer, obscured by the stone, had to eventually look beyond the boulder as there was no answer coming back.
From Isaac, who first discovered her there, all those working in that place stopped one by one and stared blankly.
At a guest who was completely out of place.
From the smooth pink hair fluttering in the wind to the bright smile shining from her pale face, which was whiter than white.
Is she not an unthinkable person to see in a place where sweat and dust vibrate?
It was Enbh, who confused the laborers and the architect and even Isaac, but who was dismissed as soon as she appeared.
“Let’s leave now. Now that you have confirmed, let’s go back.”
The financial representative looked around anxiously with an uneasy face.
Although he brought her under the threat of completely stopping the transaction, if by any chance, the Crown Prince would know.
The next moment, the financial representative had to squint his small eyes as much as he could.
“Why are you here?”
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.”
