At that moment, all the maids who had gathered in the room shut their mouths and stared at Lenisha.
There was only one woman Lindey could be referring to as ‘that woman.’
“Canaria?”
“Yes!”
Lindey clenched her fist and spoke.
“I don’t know if Canaria will come. It’s just a small banquet hosted by the emperor. I don’t know who or on what grounds he’s inviting them.”
“…So, you’re saying she might come.”
Lenisha shrugged her shoulders.
Canaria was out of Lenisha’s concern.
Whatever Canaria did, Lenisha never once wavered.
Even so, the maids always harbored hostility toward Canaria.
“We’ll need to prepare a new dress.”
“How about bringing out that ruby that Rotera, the little duke, once sent us?”
“That’s good too. How about a silver dress embroidered with gold thread? If you wear white shoes with it, you’ll look both noble and beautiful.”
The maids had already begun discussing the matter in a combative stance.
Leaving them behind, Lenisha called for the chamberlain again.
“Lindey.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Can you send a gift under your family’s name?”
“…?”
“To War hero Casius, send him clothes to wear at this banquet.”
There was only one reason for the emperor to host a banquet and invite guests.
This banquet was a place for Lenisha and Casius.
Lenisha smiled coldly.
Lenisha had recognized the trap that the emperor had prepared for her that day.
But, whether Casius recognized her or not was another matter.
“Clothes… you mean?”
“Yes.”
Chamberlain Lindey bowed her head in confusion.
She could not understand why Lenisha would issue such a command.
Why Casius of all people?
But she could only withdraw without asking any more questions to Lenisha, who was wearing a gloomy face.
The next morning, a clothing order was placed under the name of the Lindey family.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Lenisha’s position in the empire was ambiguous.
She neither bore a child to prepare for the future, nor was she on intimate terms with the emperor.
However, everyone agreed that the empire would not run properly without Lenisha.
Lenisha was an excellent empress.
In winter, the poor wore the padded clothes that Lenisha had bestowed to endure the harsh season, and in spring, they filled their empty bellies with the grain released from the royal treasury by Lenisha’s budget.
Under the leadership of Lenisha, with her exceptional beauty and social skills, the merchants were able to make a living through diplomacy.
Everything the royal family did bore Lenisha’s name, so it was impossible not to praise her.
No matter how stubborn the Emperor’s favored Canary was, she couldn’t break the unassailable aura.
As soon as news of the Emperor’s banquet reached the early morning, it spread to the dressing room.
Last night, the dressing room that was invited to dress Canary for the event received a warning letter, stating they would not leave the matter alone.
“Isn’t it truly ridiculous?”
Madam Turiel clicked her tongue, handing over the warning letter to the serving staff.
“Exactly, for a government official from commoner stock to dare to approach Empress Lenisha like this…”
“Even if Loretta is eliminated from the picture, does that even reach the level of bowing to Her Majesty the Empress?”
“Exactly, it’s the end of the world, the end of the world.”
Turiel clicked her tongue again and said,
“Do we have the measurements we took for Her Majesty the Empress before?”
“Yes, Madam Turiel.”
“Then make a pair of splendid white silk shoes to fit those measurements and send them. Do I have to listen to such a common woman?”
Madam Turiel was also a fashion designer from a prestigious family.
To Madam Turiel, Canary’s words were no more than a barking dog outside.
“It’s a good idea, Madam Turiel.”
Then it happened.
A visitor came looking for Turiel.
Entering the dressing room and taking off his hat, Lindey greeted Turiel with a bright smile.
“Turiel!”
“Lindey? It’s been a long time since you’ve come yourself. What brings you here?”
Turiel also warmly greeted Lindey.
They were friends who shared their childhood.
“I’ve come on the Empress’s command, Turiel.”
“Hmm?”
“You know Casius, right?”
“Ah.”
“Her Majesty the Empress wants to gift him an outfit for the banquet.”
Turiel’s eyes widened.
Lindey extended a pouch with the Empress’s crest on it, filled with gold coins.
“I want to place the order under our family’s name. Can you do it?”
Turiel laughed as if entertained.
“Of course. It seems Her Majesty the Empress is planning something else.”
It was Turiel’s dressing room that was leading the making of the cotton clothes to be distributed to the poor during the winter by the Empress.
And noble ladies wishing to participate in the Empress’s charity were also making cotton clothes and taking them to Turiel.
Turiel’s dressing room was one of the Empress’s major supporters.
Lindey shrugged his shoulders without a word. Turiel shouted in a higher tone.
“Close the doors to the dressing room today! We have to tailor clothes for Sir Casius, so gather black fabric by type! Ah, also gather leather for the shoes!”
“Yes, Madam!”
“So, we’ll get to see a lot of handsome knights today?”
The attendants laughed.
Lindey and Turiel exchanged meaningful smiles.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
