Selected as the New Stepmother (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
Several days have passed since that day. Ranson barely recovered his strength under the treatment of the physician sent by Schmidt.
At the same time, the letters he sent to his siblings in Terrabita were returned. As if waiting for this opportunity, a person from the Dukes Loomps secretly delivered a letter.
“Come see me as soon as you receive this letter. We have much to discuss, don’t we?”
Ranson threw the letter down in fury. He was furious to have been caught at his weakness by someone who knew it so well.
“Damn…”
Even if he became Duke Terrabita with the support of Duke Loomps, he knew it would not be easy to get hold of Schmidt.
She was resolute and did not easily change her decisions. He had long known there would be no opening unless Duke Artenbach died and she became a widow.
Above all, he knew that if he ascended to the ducal throne, he would surely become Loomps’s puppet.
Unless he strengthened himself, he would remain under her control.
Ranson felt frustrated by being caught in this helpless situation. First, he headed to the post office to find out why the letter had been returned.
“It was returned due to an unknown recipient. No one was there to receive it.”
His heart sank. He had never imagined Duke Loomps would act so swiftly.
Shocked, Ranson immediately grabbed a carriage. He intended to go straight to Duke Loomps’s residence.

“Sister Rita, are we really at the right place?”
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.”
