She's a Villainess but her Husband is Handsome (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 147
“You knew all along?”
“What on earth are you talking about?”
The judges were the first to become visibly unsettled.
The king slowly turned his gaze toward the murmuring beside him.
Instantly silencing themselves, the judges stiffly raised their heads and stared at Duchess Roger.
As the scattered murmurs gradually faded, the duchess continued.
“My son, Earl Cedric Roger, suffered a severe accident in his childhood that nearly cost him his life.”
Her quiet voice drifted through the air.
“All I could do as a mother was pray desperately for my child to survive—it was utterly heartbreaking.”
Calmly recounting those past memories, the duchess took a slow breath.
“At that time, I received help from a certain lady. She was living in secret, just like Lorraine, concealing that she belonged to the Myers Family.”
The duchess met Lorraine’s eyes, who was looking directly at her.
To Lorraine, whose gaze shimmered with emotion, the duchess offered a faint smile.
“Thanks to her healing, my child survived. That alone filled me with joy.”
The duchess locked eyes firmly with the king.
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.”
Lauren and Cedric are truly wonderful—our lovely protagonists who taught us the meaning of love and showed us that family is there to stand by and quietly support you. I hope they build a happy family together.💗🥺
Oh, I was hoping Lauren would get pregnant, but it’s wonderful to see Vance and Cordelia so happy. I hope they get married, too.
A truly wonderful novel; I really loved the characters. I was hoping for a chapter featuring Vance, Cordelia, Lily, and Dion. 💗🦋
