The Villainess' Joyful Married Life (59 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
Among the primary investment targets of Duke Klaus’s household was Tzuhen.
If Elmyur, rather than Tzuhen, were selected as the central city, Klaus’s finances would wobble.
A faint smile lingered on Eshika’s lips as she gazed out the window.
‘Knowing the future is quite advantageous. It allows one to make plans.’
Soon, she stared at the drawer containing the Crown Prince’s emerald ring and thought.
‘The only variable would be…’
Even in Bridget, emeralds of such purity were rare commodities.
It was an exquisite ring, crafted with superb artistry and fine materials—precious enough to elicit admiration.
Of course, for the Crown Prince, who was reclaiming ancestral territories through conquests and amassing vast spoils of war, it might seem like nothing special.
‘…Just the Crown Prince, then.’
The Crown Prince, Resban Deon Lusaine—a beautiful, powerful man with black hair and cold golden eyes.
He appeared interested in her.
The barren land in Elmyur that Eshika had purchased would yield profits dozens of times over.
That money… would be sufficient to buy Klaus. It was absolutely essential for the success of her second plan.
But how would the Crown Prince regard her once he learned she had already acquired Elmyur in advance?
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.”

I am honestly worried about the duchy’s citizens with the foolish and greedy duo

“You betrayed your friend, stole her jewels, and now you fawn over the Grand Lad
Why did they become friends to begin with? It’s not like yuri knew eshika would marry him
Cella spat out bloody saliva and glared at Yuri.
Does cella know martial arts at this point or no? I remember she asked
“This mother… can’t bear living under such injustice… uuhuhu….”
