The Mute Servant Remarries with Her Child, and the Cold, Powerful Official Is Driven Mad with Regret

[Rekindled Romance] [The Crematorium] [Running Away While Pregnant] [The Aloof Beauty Falls Into Bed for Love]

Su Jianyue faked her death and vanished for six years. When she returned, the master whose bed she had once shared had become her husband's elder brother.

She thought he would recognize her. She waited all night, but when her husband introduced her, the elegant and distinguished Chancellor Pei furrowed his brow.

"Crude manners and a vulgar appearance. She'll need a lot of discipline once she enters the household."

Su Jianyue smiled, shielding the son who looked seven parts like Pei Jingjue, and obediently agreed.

Later, Chancellor Pei learned that Rendong, the maid who had once shared his bed and whom he had spent years searching for, had died. In a rage over her, he slaughtered more than a hundred people.

Su Jianyue watched from the sidelines and remarked coolly, "Oh."

No one knew.

Su Jianyue was from Gusu. Her birth name was Rendong.

More than anything, Pei Jingjue detested seductive women, such as his younger brother's wife, Su, and Rendong, the mute slave who had once shared his bed.

He had treated Rendong very well.

When people bullied her for her birthmark, he kept her close by his side.

Even when she couldn't speak because of a poison that had stolen her voice, he never asked her to moan more during sex.

He had planned to earn military merits, then ask to marry her and bring her into his household. But when he returned to the capital victorious, he received only a farewell letter:

[My heart belongs to someone else. We will never meet again.]

Pei Jingjue remembered it for years, until one day his cousin, who had come to stay with him, got close to a princess and decided to divorce his wife.

By chance, Pei Jingjue overheard a deal.

"You can divorce her, but the child must still be registered under your name. You mustn't let Pei Jingjue find out that Yunli is his son."

After that day, the Chancellor, whose world had long been buried in ice and snow, changed.

Every day, he went to knock on his younger brother's wife's door and called softly, "Rendong, it's me. I'm my brother."
