The Maid's Contract Marriage (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 90
“The culprit? Did you get testimonies from the people who claimed they saw something?”
“We’re still investigating, but all the assailants wore masks, so no one saw their faces.”
The Marchioness Julius anxiously tugged at her fur and asked,
“Did anyone recognize Reina?”
“They only saw her being dragged away with a cloth over her mouth. It seems no one realized it was Reina.”
Even after hearing this, the Marchioness Julius couldn’t ease her mind.
Her thoughts were filled with confusion and dread.
“Could someone have noticed but pretended not to? Maybe they kept quiet because they thought speaking up would cause trouble.”
Christina entered and spoke.
“None of the servants who came forward as witnesses would have noticed anything. If someone had chosen to feign ignorance, they wouldn’t have stepped forward at all.”
“Christina!”
The Marchioness Julius rose joyfully.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
Christina was right.
Christina ordered the head maid,
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.”

This chapter layed up some interesting thinking points over the ever so looming “who did the hit”.
Heyyy now…. I’m side eying this story now. If it turns out to be reina I’m going to be disappointed. I count this as lazy writing because why would she go back to where people from julius might see her
This was a really good chapter that explained the complexity of the rela between reina and Taylor. I think it painted a really good colour

“No! What nonsense are you spouting! Chase them and rescue her!”
Stupidest thing I’ve read all day today 😃😃…. soo I guess it rules them out of the person who made the hit
It would severely damage the honor of Sir Arthur, the celebrated hero.
Satisfying for who who?? Your ego because I’m sure ur father would disagree
A hazy web of smoke curled between them.
Nah I just remembered she believes she is entitled to him now that he has merit. For a sec I thought she might be nice

I really like seeing how even the antagonists so far are 3 dimensional and won’t do things outside of their scope… but it also means there are strings afloat
