The Villain Family Opposes Independence (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
Due to having fallen from a cliff, I was abruptly labeled a critically ill patient and confined to bed rest.
My protest—that I only had a few scratches and could move without any trouble—was easily dismissed by the family physician’s diagnosis.
“Though there are no major external injuries, there could be lingering aftereffects—.”
“It’s serious. Stay indoors for a week and rest.”
Huh?
‘Serious?’
Even though the Duke left a stern order for me to stay absolutely still and recover, his instruction came despite the physician’s typically vague reassurance that I’d be fine with some rest.
Not satisfied with that, he even stationed guards inside and outside the guest wing.
And that wasn’t all.
That very night, Carlot returned to the mansion and suddenly clutched me in a tight embrace, bursting into inexplicable sobs.
Utterly baffled and exasperated by this bizarre situation, I spent the night wide awake—and by morning, the Duchess herself came to visit me in my room.
The Duchess in person visiting my sickbed! I’d expected she might at least ask after my health, but I hadn’t anticipated she’d come all the way to the guest wing, so I was slightly surprised.
‘Well… the guest wing was where my birth mother once stayed. Hmm… I suppose they still need my abilities, so they can’t let me die just yet.’
If my unique talent could help the Duchess and thereby diminish even slightly her reasons to despise me, that alone would be enough.
But then… why did she bring those two along?
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.”
