Especially, there was a lot of information about the poison, and among them, the prominently marked content was related to the Pelmira family.
‘According to my sister’s letter, it seems that the poison is related to the Pelmira family.’
If the Pelmira family was indeed the culprit behind the poison, there was a high probability that Orland would be staying in the region where the Pelmira family resided.
But since I didn’t know what Orland was planning at the moment, I couldn’t move the information network of the Brellopf family recklessly.
It could unintentionally interfere with what Orland was trying to do.
‘If my father went so far as to cut off contact with my sister, there must be a reason for using all the information networks. In that case, I have to try to resolve the situation with the personnel inside the mansion as much as possible.’
Having organized her thoughts, Noksia began searching the desk in the office.
Fortunately, she found a map of the territory where the Pelmira family was located. There, three places were marked with red circles.
For now, these places were the most likely locations where Orland might be.
Tadadak, tadadak!
Andrew, who commands the soldiers inside the mansion, rushed into the office. He seemed to have run here in surprise after hearing the steward’s announcement to gather the soldiers.
“Miss, what’s going on?”
Without explaining, Noksia immediately handed out a map marked with red circles.
“Right now, send the soldiers inside the mansion to this location. The purpose is to find out where my father is.”
“My lord? Why are you suddenly doing this? To move the soldiers according to the procedure, you need to get permission from my lord.”
Tang!
Noksia slammed the desk in the office with the palm of her hand.
Although Tanasia’s letter stated not to worry about Orland’s safety, Noksia couldn’t relax in such a situation.
Even for a moment, she couldn’t let her guard down until she knew what situation Orland was in.
“To follow the proper procedure and get my father’s permission, you need to make contact. Since the contact with my father has been cut off, please find him immediately. If I have to take responsibility for this later, I’ll handle it all.”
Noksia was still a young maiden who had not yet married, but the air around her exuded charisma.
Andrew hesitated for a moment but soon flashed a broad smile. There was no other way to think; she must indeed be of the Brellopf family’s bloodline.
“I understand, miss. I’ll send the soldiers to the location marked on the map as you instructed. I’ll inform you as soon as we receive news from my lord.”
Only then did Noksia nod her head with a slightly softened expression.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, miss.”
With those words, Andrew immediately left the office. It was to quickly move to the location marked on the map.
Noksia didn’t stop there. She needed to prepare for the situation in case Andrew couldn’t find Orland.
So, Noksia continued to move busily in the office while muttering to herself.
“…After finishing what can be done here, I need to write a letter to my sister right away.”
Noksia’s appearance was even more satisfying than expected, considering that Tanasia would have been very pleased if she had seen it herself.
Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day
It’s not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre — make sure to check it out!
This is a novel I’m planning to reread as well.
The male lead is strong, skilled in martial arts, and not the usual fragile type you often see in matriarchal novels.
Meanwhile, the female lead is a scientist—rational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesn’t let her emotions cloud her decisions.
If you push through the first few chapters, you’ll gradually find the story really intriguing.
It has a mix of mystery, detective elements, and romance.
The author’s writing style is like crafting a puzzle—except they deliberately leave out a few pieces, making it hard to predict what happens next, yet keeping you hooked.
In the end, everything will come together and be explained.
One-sentence summary: Wife, stop playing with beakers and look at me!
In a laboratory accident, research scientist Zhu Wansheng accidentally travels to a matriarchal world. The original owner of the body is an eighteen-year-old only daughter of a wealthy rouge merchant, already married with a handsome young man.
Zhu Wansheng grins: Nice! She always said she was heaven’s favorite granddaughter. After a life of toil in her previous life, she can enjoy blessings in this one.
However, her joy lasts no more than three seconds as bad news arrives: the original owner’s family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.
Even worse, she’s stuck with a research system full of restrictions.
Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?
——
Faced with this mess, Zhu Wansheng pours herself a bowl of wine to drown her sorrows. In her drunken haze, her husband arrives.
His figure is imposing, holding a long sword, with a dignified air that captivates Zhu Wansheng.
Gu Yingqing, however, looks at the alcohol-reeking Zhu Wansheng with undisguised disgust and coldly asks, “Divorce or not?” The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, “I think… it’s not… it’s not… impossible!”
——
The next day, after sobering up, Zhu Wansheng is full of energy, rolling up her sleeves ready to make a big move. As for yesterday? She has no memory of it.
Zhu Wansheng is ambitious; a research dog fears nothing!
Upgrading rouge, extracting fragrances, producing perfumes, researching lipsticks… all shall bow to the power of modern technology!
The original owner’s dying rouge shop is revitalized. Her mother is pleased and with a wave of her hand, passes on the family business to her. As she takes control and her experimental results gain popularity, it’s the pinnacle of her life…
——
But there are always those who can’t stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts – they want nothing less than her life.
The person who has always kept his distance from her suddenly holds her tightly in his arms, eyes full of concern.
She is unharmed, but he falls into a pool of blood…
Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, “I can grant you one wish.”
Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, “I regret it. Can we not divorce?”
Zhu Wansheng: ? When did I agree to a divorce?
[Small Theater]
The newly developed rouge is beautifully packaged, and Zhu Wansheng is eager to try it.
Gu Yingqing suddenly appears: “My lady, may I apply it for you?”
Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adam’s apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.
Zhu Wansheng: ?
Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste it…
On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: “Spring Night.” Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.
Warm breath lingers on her neck.
“My lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?”
