When I Quit Being A Wicked Mother-in-law, Everyone Became Obsessed With Me - Chapter 5

Chapter 5

“Oh my God, Liliana.”

But just then.

Anriche, with her body bowed slightly, looked straight into Liliana’s eyes.

“You need to have a more objective view of yourself.”

“Ob, objective perspective?”

“Yes.”

Anriche gave her a big nod.

In her soft colored eyes, Anriche’s wicked smile was engraved.

It was a smile that gently lured the little child.

“You know, you’re the lady who will become the next Valois mistress.”

“That, still…”

“That means, you’re the face of Valois so you need to think about your position.”

Liliana listened to Anriche as if she was possessed.

“Imagine it, the fiancee of the Duke of Vallois dressed in her old, worn-out, and hole-y dress with her boots with missing soles.”

Anriche narrowed her eyes, and she sighed.

Looking at the beautiful face of her mother-in-law, who was full of kindness, Liliana fluttered and hardened her shoulders.

“Then, what would people think of the Duke of Valois?”

“Uh… uh…”

The family is one of the most well known in the Empire and has a lot of money, but they treat their only daughter-in-law that way?”

Anriche made up her exaggerated voice, imitating the tone of people pointing their fingers at the Duke.

“Wouldn’t you think so…?”

Is it like that?

Deep anguish was visible on Liliana’s face.

Without missing the opportunity, Anriche concluded her words with a strong expression.

“You’re also dressing up for the Duke’s family. Do you understand?”

“Yes! I got it!”

Liliana, being so surprised nodded her head haphazardly.

Anriche nailed it once again.

“Okay, so from now on you won’t say ‘I’m sorry’ or ‘I don’t think this is right,’ right?’”

“Yes!”

Liliana, who answered in a daze, tilted her head.

Is this all right?

However, the situation was already out of Liliana’s hands.

“Hmm, I think finding the perfect clothes is a waste of time.”

Anriche, who had folded the catalog in a loudly, shook her hand to call the staff.

The staff approached Anriche.

“Do you have anything you’re looking for?”

“Oh, yes, the girls’ clothes in these catalogs.”

Anriche, who took the catalogues roughly and put them in the arms of the staff, lifted the corner of her mouth and smiled.

“Give me everything.”

________

Le Morgan Street was visited primarily by wealthy commoners, semi-nobles, and nobles.

And the Duchess of Valois, combined with her identity and peculiar arrogance, was a famous socialite.

Of course, there were a lot of people who recognized the Duchess.

“Isn’t that the Duchess of Valois?”

“Why did she visit the children’s clothing store for no reason?”

The noble ladies who were walking on the street stopped at their respective tracks with their eyes wide open.

Their gaze was fixed on the Duchess of Valois, who slipped out of the children’s clothing store.

“I mean, didn’t she call the designers to townhouses every time?”

“Oh that’s right she can just get the designers to make her dress, and accessories match. The cost was enormous, so it’s like winning the lottery.

“By the way, who the hell is that kid?”

Right next to the Duchess, a pretty blonde green-eyed girl like a porcelain doll was following her by steps.

She probably had bought clothes from the store, changed them, and was dressed perfectly from head to toe.

“Well, I’ve never seen her before…”

“In fact, we’re not sure if the Duchess of Valois was going to carry her own child, right?”

While the noble ladies gossiped with each other.

Anriche took her stride and stopped in front of the ladies.

The color from the ladies’ faces faded away in a flash.

‘Oh, oh my did she hear everything we’re talking about?’

‘’What should I do if I get yelled at?’

The ladies didn’t know what to do, so they just looked at each other.

Meanwhile, Anriche was looking at them with an emotionless face.

Oh, what am I supposed to do?

The hearts of the noble ladies were burning up.

“Hello.”

“Duchess Valois, we didn’t mean to…Yes?

One of the noble women, who tried to make excuses reflexively, looked like she just got hit on the back of her head.

The arrogant Duchess Valois is saying hello to us first?

However, Anrice’s bomb talk is not over.

“Our Liliana, isn’t she adorable?”

Yes?

The ladies doubted their eyes and ears at the same time.

The Duchess of Valois smiles brightly and talks softly!

‘I guess I’m dreaming right now.’

The noble ladies thought so.

Anriche shrugged her shoulders.

“I’ve seen you staring at Liliana for a while.”

***

Anriche is currently busy screaming internally.

‘Our Liliana, so cute! How can she be so cute?!’

She glanced at Liliana on her side.

Liliana was wearing a dark yellow dress and a hat matching her dress.

The newly bought enamel Mary Jane shoes were shiny and shiny.

In her arms, she was holding a cotton doll that she bought at the clothing store. Anriche stared at her…

‘Ahhhhh, she’s like a fluffy chick!’

Anriche closed her mouth shut. Such cuteness is worth preserving forever!

Should I call a portrait painter as soon as I get home?

After drawing about a hundred portraits, I’ll hang them everywhere, and I’ll have three for myself!

One for collection, one for business, one for actual use!

‘Huh?’

Meanwhile, Anriche felt a gaze from somewhere.

In the distance, some noble ladies were looking at her and Liliana intensely.

‘Ah, our Liliana is so cute, that’s why you’re looking at her like that?’

A heartwarming smile was shown on Anriche’s lips.

If so, you should show off our Liliana’s cuteness!

Anriche, who strides toward the noble ladies, greeted them roughly and began to play her part.

“Our Liliana, isn’t she adorable?”

“Yes?”

“I’ve seen you staring at Liliana for a while.”

At those words, the noble ladies made a stinging expression.

Anriche generously nodded her head.

“I understand. Our Liliana is so cute. You have no choice but to look at her.”

Of course. Of course.

Anriche beckoned to Liliana with her proud face.

“Liliana, say hello.”

“Hello, I’m Liliana Aberyt.”

Liliana looking down with her nods was, really, amazingly, crazily, cute!

“I thought my son was the cutest in the world, but there was another kid as cute as my son.”

“Well, that’s right…”

“I’m so lucky to have this cute kid as Elliot’s fiancée, too. Elliot is also very lucky, right?”

“Yes…”

The noble ladies nodded only with their heads blanked.

After pouring out her pride for such a long time, Anriche felt like returning to the townhouse.

“Oops, I have to go back.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Please go safely.”

“Thank you. If you want to see our Liliana, you can always come to the townhouse to play.”

And so, Anriche, who had said that, took Liliana and got into the carriage.

The carriage bears the emblem of the Duke of Valois, and it energetically crosses the streets of Le Morgan.

One of the noble ladies who started at the back of the carriage muttered abruptly.
“Well, it feels as if the storm has swept away…”

“That’s true.”

“Well, still.”

Another noble lady opened her mouth.

“Today the Duchess felt like she was easy to approach, isn’t she?”

“Oh, I felt that too.”

“So, I wasn’t the only one thinking that way.”

Each of the noble ladies nodded.

Rather than the usual arrogant figure, the modest and gentle figure that was shown was much better.

On the lips of the noble ladies, an open smile was hanging.

But just then.

“But, though, she’s still the wife of Duke Valois.”

One of the ladies opened her mouth with a sore throat.

She was the noble lady who was openly rebuked by Anriche in the past.

“Now, she’s like that, but you don’t know when she will change her behavior like flipping her palm.”

The noble lady, who declared that way, folded her arms and raised her chin high.

“As you all know, the Duchess is like a fickle boiling soup?”

“…That’s right, that’s also true.”

“She’s a person with such an angular personality…”

It was in an instant that suspicion was shown in the ladies’ eyes.

The lady, who first spoke, shook her head and looked.

“Everyone must be careful as if you speak your mind, you will incur the duchess’ wrath.”

***

The carriage, after running for a while into the center of the town, finally stopped smoothly in front of the Townhouse in Valois.

Liliana, holding Anrice’s hand, carefully stepped her feet onto her ground.

At the same time, her light green eyes grew wider and wider.

“Wow…”

Liliana was in a daze, staring at the scenery before her eyes.

The garden, which had been carefully cared for by the gardener, was in a state full of bright flowers in spring.

Above the fountain that spews water coolly in the center of the garden, a colorful rainbow was strung.

And behind it was a four-story elegant townhouse…

‘Isn’t this like the palace where a princess lives?’

Liliana swallowed dry saliva.

Meanwhile, Anriche had to try her hardest to resist the laughter that was about to burst out.
