Wishing My Husband Dead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 47
Leonard, who had a rough idea of her relationship with her father, casually blurted out.
“Don’t worry—you won’t run into your father anyway.”
“I don’t mind, but I’m worried that if Father finds out I’m your apprentice, it might cause trouble for you.”
“Trouble? Archduke Vasquez causing trouble for me?”
He openly scoffed. Though his attitude could be seen as impolite, Cordelia actually felt reassured.
After all, no matter what Vasquez tried, it would be nearly impossible to tarnish Leonard’s reputation. She deliberately pushed aside her unease and changed the subject.
“Yebbo Delim, huh? I’ve never been to that capital before.”
“Is there anywhere you’ve been before?”
“Well, I suppose you’re right.”
Cordelia gave an awkward smile. When she thought about it, every place she visited with him was her first time. She felt a slight thrill wondering what awaited her this time.
Baron handed Cordelia a bowl of tomato stew and asked,
“How proficient are you in court etiquette?”
“Court etiquette? I learned a bit when I was very young, but I’ve forgotten it all. Why?”
“Hmm. You’ll need to greet His Majesty. I’ll teach you the basics.”
“His Majesty? But why would I meet the king just because I’m going to the capital?”
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.”
