Don't Be Kind Rashly (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 96
The eastern nobles couldn’t collect their wits each morning as they opened the newspaper to yet another shocking headline.
The day before yesterday, it reported the widely known news that the Emperor had nearly been assassinated at a banquet; yesterday, it revealed that the jewel set used in the assassination attempt actually belonged to the former imperial family.
Today’s news claimed that, rather than for the assassination attempt itself, the Moiquipel family had been stripped of one castle and five noble titles for stealing imperial treasures.
“Only one castle and five titles for theft and desecration of the imperial family? Do you have any idea how vast the attached territories are? Isn’t this punishment far too severe?”
Many reacted with thoroughly aristocratic logic.
“It must be the work of the Emperor’s Eye, wouldn’t you say?”
It was obvious. Every title revocation was meticulously carried out, one by one, under long-established imperial law. If they were starting with the theft of imperial treasures, then just how harsh a penalty would they impose for the attempted assassination of the Emperor?
Plainly put, the Emperor intended to tear Moiquipel apart. They couldn’t just stand by and watch the oldest ducal house crumble at such a terrifying pace.
“Let us make a formal suggestion! Moiquipel is no ordinary house—how can His Majesty treat them so disgracefully? Shouldn’t their past service in safeguarding the Empire be taken into consideration?”
“But what if His Majesty’s wrath falls upon us instead?”
Even today, arrest processions continued one after another. The Imperiale had seized all Moiquipel properties.
The speed was staggering, and no one could stop the arrests. Those who witnessed their daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, uncles and aunts by marriage, mothers, wives, and husbands dragged away in chains trembled uncontrollably.
Honestly, everyone wanted to distance themselves from this affair, yet their pride was deeply wounded. They couldn’t simply stand aside and let the Emperor run wild!
“We can’t request an audience with His Majesty directly. Let’s go to the Dragon Lord. Hasn’t he always been the one willing to listen to us?”
The nobles began to move.

My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
