I Think My Daughter Has Regressed (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 90
Seeing Earl Shannon step back from his position, Count Scalla slowly concealed himself among the crowd.
He had thought the matter was settled during the departure ceremony…
Doubt flickered in Count Scalla’s sharp eyes.
Slowly stroking his chin, the count furrowed his brow and tilted his head slightly.
“Your Lordship.”
An advisor approached Count Scalla from behind.
“It appears there was some kind of transaction between Marquis Farnese and Earl Shannon. Marquis Farnese began making moves right after their meeting on the final day.”
Count Scalla nodded, listening to his advisor’s report, and glanced briefly at Earl Shannon’s back, now completely distanced.
He’d assumed the earl was merely a man blinded by love—but perhaps he was more troublesome than anticipated.
Stroking his goatee, the count narrowed his eyes and let out a short grunt: “Hmph—.”
“Any signs of movement from the marquis during the hunting festival?”
“According to my inquiries, none so far.”
Count Scalla tapped his fingers against his chin, recalling Marquis Farnese, who had remained secluded for a long time.
In the political arena, there were currents one couldn’t help but notice, even if one wished not to—
like the current ascendancy of the Emperor’s faction. Unfortunately, Marquis Farnese had been among the first in the nobility faction to recognize this tide.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”

Is the emperor part of the cult? Is he the leader?
Ooo, he is indeed a quick one! Poor Lucy. My mother died well after I became an adult and I still miss her terribly.
Tsk. Charles needs to read some Doyle: “When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
