Pregnant With The Wolf's Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 22
The next morning.
Upon hearing from Aaron that Mary had departed from Le Cach, I sent a carriage to Venice Harbor to arrive at the estimated time of her arrival.
‘Looks like Mary’s already here.’
Not long after, I saw a carriage pull up to the main gate through the window and went outside.
Mary stepped down from the carriage holding a heavy stack of documents.
“Mary, you must be tired from the journey. What are these documents?”
“Lord Aaron gave them to me—they require your approval.”
I took half of the towering stack of papers from Mary’s arms.
“Miss, please let me hold them! I’ll carry them!”
“It’s fine. I can handle this much. Did you hear the explanation from my maternal uncle? I thought I’d return to Le Cach right away, but things turned out like this.”
I paused while walking inside with Mary and sighed.
“Yes… Since Lady Blanche has become a Holy Maiden candidate, she’ll have to stay in Langranxia for the time being…”
“Right now, the biggest issue is that I met Jade at the Grand Cathedral.”
Mary asked with the same worried expression as mine.
“But why did Marquis go to the Grand Cathedral? He doesn’t even believe in the gods, does he?”
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.”

The evidence is stacking and yet this man is as clueless as ever.
Charlotte seems to be the antagonist or at least a minor one.
*sigh* another child is on the way. I wonder if he’ll deny it again?
