In This Life, I'll Assist You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 165
“My father never once told me about the true nature of the worms.”
Medea continued with a heartbroken voice.
“I was so foolish… I knew nothing! If only I’d known, I could have stopped the Red Worm—that child—from going astray.”
Cramnel shouted in a frenzy.
“You madwoman! You claim you didn’t know?! You’re my own daughter! Where are you spewing these lies from?! The Red Worm was always yours!”
“Father! Even in this situation, you still refuse to admit your guilt?”
Medea sobbed.
“Rave wouldn’t have done such things if not for you, Father. I’m also deeply sorry to Lady Estelle. I mistakenly believed she betrayed me and went to the North. Yet she endured such horrors within our Grand Duchy of the South… I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Bella. No—truly, I apologize, Lady Estelle!”
Medea nearly collapsed into sobs, sinking to the floor.
I couldn’t bear it any longer and rose from my seat, calling out her name.
“Your Grace, Grand Duchess Medea Lahert.”
Medea looked up at me. Every gaze in the hall turned toward me.
With a calm expression, I requested permission to speak from the presiding judge. They granted it.
I then produced the certified document Medea had given to the Red Worm, sending it northward—the deed transferring ownership of the Pink Diamond Mine.
“This is the certified document you handed to Rave as an apology for your attempted assassinations of His Grace and Lord Nugent. It states your donation of the diamond mine, formerly your personal property, to the North. If His Grace truly knew nothing, how could the Red Worm have obtained this document without your involvement? Anyone familiar with the Empire’s stringent administrative procedures would recognize the inconsistency in Your Grace’s claim. Furthermore, the Red Worm claimed you sent him and sowed discord between His Grace the Grand Duke of the North and Julia Nugent. Shall I present the recorded footage from that time?”
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.”

Christ Jesus… I thought there was a limit to stupidity, but with the emperor, I’m always surprised.
Indeed, common sense is not part of His Majesty’s intellect.
And let the drums roll!!! What will His Majesty decide?
