The Villain Family Opposes Independence (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 47
Due to the commotion that had just occurred, the prayer meeting’s start was delayed a bit further.
The priests said they had no choice but to wait—the entire Angelos family had stormed off toward the spring, and apparently, the head of the house absolutely must attend the prayer meeting.
Although it seemed as if the delay was because of me, in truth, the blame lay entirely with Dorothea Angelos.
‘Why bother someone who’s just trying to stay out of sight?’
I’d been doing my absolute best not to draw attention to myself.
Not only was I already plagued by headaches thanks to all that nonsense about being a “savior,” but now this added provocation was truly vexing.
The Duchess, who had been watching everything with an amused expression, approached with a smile and asked,
“Since your skin condition is completely healed, I was puzzled—but enchanting your earrings with an illusion spell? How on earth did you figure that out?”
“I didn’t even know. I was just trying to pull something off, and it ended up like that.”
Ahaha. Haha.
Afraid she might press further, I covered it up with an awkward chuckle.
Fortunately, though the Duchess seemed like she had more questions, she let it pass.
“Well, you were lucky. Thanks to you, I got to enjoy quite an entertaining show.”
“Is that so? I suppose Lady Angelos also has an illusion-granted magical artifact, then?”
“Likely the ring Elodie requested—I imagine it’s enchanted. Watching you turn pale was quite a sight.”
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.”
