Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 183
To Henry Fairfax, Esquire.
Dear Henry,
I received your letter with great delight. Thank you for your concern about my cold. It is almost gone now, and thankfully, the servants no longer have to stifle their laughter at my nasal voice. A relief for both my dignity and their teeth, I must say.
The painting you sent is a truly splendid gift. I am deeply grateful. In your artwork, I appear almost like a goddess—perhaps too idealized to feel like myself, but the deep affection you’ve poured into it warms my heart. I imagine when I’m old and recalling my youth, this painting will make those memories shine even brighter.
As for George’s education, Henry, don’t worry too much. Don’t try to keep that boy tethered to a desk. Keeping him still makes him act as if he’s deaf, blind, and mute all at once.
George is a remarkable child. His physical senses are astonishingly keen. When he’s running, tumbling, or climbing, he displays the potential of a champion athlete, a genius dancer, or a skilled fighter representing England. Such a boy shouldn’t be confined to a desk. Let him move freely while learning.
If you want to teach him Greek verb conjugations, write the letters on the ground and have him trace the order with his movements. If you’re teaching the history of the Tudor dynasty, stage a play of the fiercest battles of the Wars of the Roses and let him act it out. George will surely remember it all.
Writing this, I realize mere explanations won’t suffice. I’ll visit Dunville Park within the week, and we can teach George together. I have plenty of time these days. Your uncle has been constantly traveling to inspect the Dalton family’s railway construction sites, mines, sawmills, and quarries scattered across Yorkshire. The unfortunate incident in Barnsley recently has made him feel the need to visit the businesses more frequently.
I’ll shake off this cold completely and come to Dunville Park. Until then, please bear with George a little. If you whisper to him that his Aunt Laura will soon arrive with freshly baked cookies, he might just behave himself.
Until we meet again, farewell.
From your Aunt Laura,
who dearly misses her beloved Fairfax brothers.

To my dearly beloved Aunt Laura.
Dear Aunt Laura,
Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day
It’s not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre — make sure to check it out!
This is a novel I’m planning to reread as well.
The male lead is strong, skilled in martial arts, and not the usual fragile type you often see in matriarchal novels.
Meanwhile, the female lead is a scientist—rational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesn’t let her emotions cloud her decisions.
If you push through the first few chapters, you’ll gradually find the story really intriguing.
It has a mix of mystery, detective elements, and romance.
The author’s writing style is like crafting a puzzle—except they deliberately leave out a few pieces, making it hard to predict what happens next, yet keeping you hooked.
In the end, everything will come together and be explained.
One-sentence summary: Wife, stop playing with beakers and look at me!
In a laboratory accident, research scientist Zhu Wansheng accidentally travels to a matriarchal world. The original owner of the body is an eighteen-year-old only daughter of a wealthy rouge merchant, already married with a handsome young man.
Zhu Wansheng grins: Nice! She always said she was heaven’s favorite granddaughter. After a life of toil in her previous life, she can enjoy blessings in this one.
However, her joy lasts no more than three seconds as bad news arrives: the original owner’s family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.
Even worse, she’s stuck with a research system full of restrictions.
Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?
——
Faced with this mess, Zhu Wansheng pours herself a bowl of wine to drown her sorrows. In her drunken haze, her husband arrives.
His figure is imposing, holding a long sword, with a dignified air that captivates Zhu Wansheng.
Gu Yingqing, however, looks at the alcohol-reeking Zhu Wansheng with undisguised disgust and coldly asks, “Divorce or not?” The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, “I think… it’s not… it’s not… impossible!”
——
The next day, after sobering up, Zhu Wansheng is full of energy, rolling up her sleeves ready to make a big move. As for yesterday? She has no memory of it.
Zhu Wansheng is ambitious; a research dog fears nothing!
Upgrading rouge, extracting fragrances, producing perfumes, researching lipsticks… all shall bow to the power of modern technology!
The original owner’s dying rouge shop is revitalized. Her mother is pleased and with a wave of her hand, passes on the family business to her. As she takes control and her experimental results gain popularity, it’s the pinnacle of her life…
——
But there are always those who can’t stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts – they want nothing less than her life.
The person who has always kept his distance from her suddenly holds her tightly in his arms, eyes full of concern.
She is unharmed, but he falls into a pool of blood…
Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, “I can grant you one wish.”
Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, “I regret it. Can we not divorce?”
Zhu Wansheng: ? When did I agree to a divorce?
[Small Theater]
The newly developed rouge is beautifully packaged, and Zhu Wansheng is eager to try it.
Gu Yingqing suddenly appears: “My lady, may I apply it for you?”
Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adam’s apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.
Zhu Wansheng: ?
Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste it…
On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: “Spring Night.” Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.
Warm breath lingers on her neck.
“My lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?”
