I Think My Daughter Has Regressed (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 22
The previous afternoon, Damian couldn’t quite focus on his work, even up on the deck.
The governess file he’d reviewed the day before, along with Lucy’s off-site lesson schedule delivered today, kept nagging at his mind.
“Excuse me, Your Grace. Preparations are nearly complete. We only need to set the departure date. If you’re preoccupied with your family trip, shall we postpone it a bit?”
Charles, having noticed that Damian couldn’t fully concentrate on work, gently suggested this first.
“…She has an off-site lesson tomorrow, I heard.”
“Pardon?”
They had just stepped off the deck.
Frowning against the sun’s sharp rays piercing through the bars and stinging his skin, Damian suddenly halted mid-step.
“An off-site… lesson?”
Charles tilted his head, clearly struggling to grasp what Damian meant.
“I’d thought servants or knights changing their loyalties couldn’t amount to much, but recently I heard something that’s been bothering me.”
“What did you hear…? Could it be that the staff have sided with the noble faction?”
Charles’s expression hardened.
“No. They called me careless. That remark has been weighing on me.”
“Pardon? You, Your Grace?”
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.”

They say a thief who steals from a thief is forgiven for a thousand years, but will the same apply to betrayal?
I’m surprised by the intelligence they demonstrate in being able to conspire. I don’t think I had that capacity for conspiracy, let alone adapting a plan in unexpected situations.
I see that they always keep Ariel in the dark, not knowing anything. I think Lucy would be the same if she weren’t a regressor. I wonder if that relationship will continue despite all the lies they tell Ariel.

How brave Lucy is! Anyone else would have fainted or frozen in an emergency situation, especially if it’s the first time they’ve seen blood.
