I Think My Daughter Has Regressed (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 97
In my previous life, Mother’s and my own downfall began after Father returned to the Empire.
Only now do I realize that Uncle Bruno harbored such dark intentions, but back then, I didn’t pay much mind to his repeated acts of rudeness.
Uncle Bruno had never been particularly courteous to begin with, and everyone knew he was only a half-noble, tainted by courtesan blood.
I believed that no matter how much they pointed fingers at me, it couldn’t possibly shake my position as the Duke’s Daughter.
But it did.
No—it shattered utterly.
“Your Grace, for now, it would be best to eat well, get plenty of rest, and regain your composure.”
The doctor, after examining my wrist carefully, assured me there was no serious illness.
The servants sighed in relief and nodded, and I made a request to them.
“I want to rest.”
As soon as I closed my eyes, the doctor and the servants quietly withdrew from the room.
The exhaustion I hadn’t felt until just now suddenly crashed over my entire body.
My head resting on the pillow felt as if it were sinking into deep water. Soon, my consciousness plunged into an abyss.
I wished it were pure, absolute darkness—but instead, my mind busily dredged up memories from the past.
Among all the days of my former life, one memory surfaced: the day when Mother’s and my lives reached their absolute worst.
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.”
When you decided your property didn’t need any information or even reassurance because a trophy is only meant to be displayed, nothing more?
Try slapping him. A lot. Maybe he’ll stop further endangering his property.
Hoping Ethan doesn’t buy the bullshit and escapes relatively unscathed.
