The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
“Jane is so careless. On her wedding day, she’s so distracted that she’s completely bungling her duties as hostess. If you’d like, I’ll show you somewhere you can rest.”
The criticism directed at Jane was fierce.
‘Lady Burnett really despises Jane.’
Though she’d anticipated this, hearing it confirmed firsthand still pleased her.
Scarlett gave a faint nod, smiling inwardly.
“Jane probably didn’t do it on purpose. It’s her first time getting married, so she might be a bit inexperienced. The real pity is that, despite having someone as admirable as Lady Burnett right beside her, she didn’t even seek your advice.”
“That’s exactly it. Not once did that girl ask me for a single word of advice about this wedding.”
Burnett spoke with clear annoyance. Scarlett gently placed her hand on Burnett’s arm.
“When it’s my turn to marry, I’d like to ask for Lady Burnett’s guidance. Would that be all right? And, may I still count on that earlier offer you made me? If it wouldn’t be too much trouble, I’d like to ask a favor.”
“Of course, Scarlett. I’ll help with both your wedding advice and show you to the reception room. Come with me.”
The two walked toward the reception room, looking so affectionate that strangers might mistake them for family.
“I feel a bit awkward being alone here. Could you stay with me just a little longer? Speaking with someone as admirable as Lady Burnett is truly a joy for me.”
“How beautifully you speak! That must be the result of excellent upbringing—a credit to your noble house.”
Burnett smiled warmly and sat on the sofa opposite Scarlett.
She tugged the bell-pull several times to summon a servant. After ordering tea, Burnett resumed venting about Jane.
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.”
