Mother-in-Law Refuses to Regress! (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 47
William’s worries grew deeper by the day. One day, Siod took the children out of the capital to travel through minor towns; on another, he brought them to the Rodante family’s domain.
The Rodante domain was a barren wasteland, with only a lone mage tower standing tall amid an utterly empty plain. Or so William thought—until they reached the outskirts and found people.
“Are there people living in this domain?”
The poor existed everywhere. As Siod handed out coins to children begging for alms, he said,
“These are vagrants.”
Weren’t vagrants supposed to be wanderers like gypsies? Seeing the ragged, refugee-like children, William’s understanding shattered completely.
“They became vagrants because they have no official household registration. They might be descendants of those who once called this land home, fugitives who fled here after committing crimes elsewhere, or simply people born without any registration at all.”
“Like me?”
Larisa, nestled in Siod’s arms, spoke up. Larisa had been born a pauper in the capital, without household registration, because Marina herself had none.
Paupers within cities, lacking status, couldn’t cross the walls and lived trapped inside, but those outside city walls scattered everywhere, becoming vagrants.
“Right. They’re not official domain residents, so the Rodantes have no obligation to care for them. They’re abandoned people.”
“Then those people…?”
“Unless the lord takes them in, grants them registration, and helps them settle down.”
William clamped his mouth shut.
“They live here now, but might leave again at any moment. Don’t worry too much about it.”

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.”
