Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 35
From early morning, carriages and luggage were busily assembled before the ducal mansion.
Adeline had decided to spend the next week recuperating at a nearby villa.
Expecting to go alone, Adeline blinked in surprise when she saw Cassis.
“The knights won’t be necessary—I’ll be there myself. Just increase the number of guards in the surrounding area.”
“Yes. The head chef and maids will deliver meals at designated times and then leave.”
“That sounds reasonable.”
Yet, after overhearing Gwen’s conversation, Adeline had a sudden, sinking feeling that something was wrong.
She forced her stiffened body to move and approached the duke.
“Your Grace, are you perhaps planning to come along as well?”
The duke turned at the sound of Adeline’s voice.
His gaze, which looked down at her as if her question were utterly obvious, grew serious.
“Why ask something so obvious? Did you think I was so pitiful a man that I’d send you—the woman carrying my child—off to recuperate alone?”
The servants nearby all fixed their eyes on the two of them.
“I’d be fine going alone. Your Grace must be busy.”
“Then I shan’t worry. Let’s depart.”
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…?

She is forgetting all the humiliation he has been heaping on her, intentionally humiliating her and demeaning her. He needs to apologize with words. She’s being too easy.
What, Adeline? Are you going to forgive the Duke just like that, without him apologizing?
Oh my God, I was feeling this way. Now you’re going to miscarry.
