The Villain Family Opposes Independence (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 72
I knew the Duchess was wealthy, but to call that enormous fortune “insufficient” was simply beyond my comprehension.
Yansi, sitting beside me, leaned closer and said gently,
“If there’s something you want, just tell me. I’ll buy it for you, Lily.”
“No, thank you. I’m fine.”
I firmly declined Yansi’s kindness and gave a bright smile.
“There’s no need to feel burdened, Lily.”
“Haha.”
At my polite refusal, Yansi responded with a lovely smile of his own and resumed eating.
I picked up my utensils again too, but the food wouldn’t go down easily.
My mind kept circling back to the messy love triangle between my biological parents and Duke Ferdia.
It was even more awkward because I happened to be seated directly across from the Duchess.
“Are you thinking about Sylvester?”
“You’re the only one for me, Richard.”
“Didn’t that man cling desperately to you?”
‘Duke Ferdia courted Mom, but she chose my real father… But wait—could it be that he still hasn’t gotten over her, and that’s why she forbids talking about Mom? He’s unbelievably devoted, sure… but then what about the Duchess?!’
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.”
The mother is really beautiful, now I see were are female lead gets it from
