I Decided to Let You Go (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
Ten days ago, he—who usually only delivered business and left—unexpectedly contacted her as usual and issued a command disguised as a request: to investigate the disappearances occurring in Baile.
Damn that friend of hers—he only ever popped up when he needed her, used her efficiently, and vanished as soon as he achieved his goal. It had happened last time, and surely it would happen again this time too.
And yet, Theodor couldn’t refuse. Perhaps compassion was worse than pride.
Afterward, Theodor assembled a small elite team and set off for Baile. While investigating diligently as his friend had wished, he inevitably discovered something odd about the case.
Now, he had come to get to the bottom of that oddity.
“What incident?”
Zieghart, who asked back so calmly, now seemed infuriatingly smug.
“Peter Sabrina—the case you assigned me to investigate! No matter how you look at it, you’re the culprit yourself, Zieghart.”
“Ah—.”
“It couldn’t possibly be that you actually wanted me to catch the real criminal, so what’s your reason?”
Fuming, Theodor was met only with Zieghart’s teasing little smirk, as if telling him to calm down just a bit.
“I temporarily needed the Royal Knights.”
“…Fine. So what is it this time? What on earth could possibly make our noble lord lay hands on an innocent citizen?”
“Innocent citizen? He was a criminal. I merely did the job the guard should’ve done. It’s rather sad that you slander my kind-heartedness.”
Soon after, Zieghart handed him a single document—a neatly compiled list detailing all of Peter Sabrina’s misdeeds.
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.”

Zieghart Aschardt.
What the hell? 😦😦I don’t understand 🤔🤔 is he talking about himself in third person?
One more thing: Natasha added a condition that their marriage would take place i
That’s a smart move. I like a smart female lead. I hope she gets few more victories before she has to rely on the Duke.
For an instant, Zieghart’s face hardened like stone. The usual blankness of his
He should not even be shocked 😒😒 neither sad or angry… He doesnt deserve to feel shit 😡

He broke her trust, and now want her to believe that he is in love. I thing he also have his memories of the past.
It’s a little lot too late ass why no do this earlier if you regressed before
Yea… I don’t really know if him bringing her back really nullifies any of what happened in the first timeline
