Why She Lives as a Villainess - Chapter 76

For the ppl who still haven’t pieced it together:

Lesians mother, the former empress, ordered a palace maid to steal the marquis’ kid, narah and drop her in some shop to be raised by a commoner.
The marquis later recognised her and pretended to adopt ‘a commoner’ but he just got his real kid back.

This is why the marquis murdered the empress and kidnapped her kid, lesian to takerevenge in the former emperial family and officially replace his daughterw ho he thought he would never find again, so he never reported her missing.

This is why he abused lesian, to take revenge in the women who took his kid, even though he already killed her and took her kid to even it out.

The marquis wife couldn’t take the heartbreak and died.
Bc the marquis hushed it up and pretended his daughter never disappeared and replaced her with lesian, so when he found narah, he couldn’t say he had his long lost daughter back.
Ppl would have asked who’s lesian ? If she’s a commoner why did you hide her status? Wait didn’t she have the same age and the empress daughter?
So he had to adopt his own kid and pretend she’s a commoner.

So narah is the legimitate heir to the marquis and a noble but would never get that title in her life.
So narah and the marquis are technically right, the empress started this first and ruined their family.
But she’s dead and they taking revenge on ppl who have nothing to with it and keep digging themselves deeper basically.
