The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 70
“Thank you for your hard work, Duchess. You may return home now.”
The Chief of Security spoke.
Jane, who had dozed off after enduring an intense interrogation in the Chief’s office, slowly opened her eyes.
“What do you mean?”
Her voice was weak, deprived of proper sleep and food for several days.
“Just as I said. We uncovered evidence that the Rose Faction attempted to use you, and your innocence has been confirmed. If we offended you in any way during the investigation, please forgive us. It was all for the sake of the royal family.”
His tone had become remarkably respectful, as if he’d heard something astonishing.
The condescending attitude he’d shown throughout the interrogation had vanished completely.
Blinking in bewilderment, Jane could only stare blankly as the Chief stepped closer.
“Shall I help you up?”
“No, thank you.”
Jane refused his offered hand and slowly pushed herself upright, bracing her knees against the floor.
Though countless questions swirled in her mind, she figured she could figure out what was going on once outside.
Before leaving, she glanced once around the Chief’s office.
She’d been confined here for four full days. Though spared outright mistreatment thanks to her status as Duchess, the investigators’ arrogance—typical of how they treated suspected criminals—had worn her nerves thin.

My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
