Disguised as a Male Servant in the Duke's House (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 140
In response to the Empress’s question, Rozelia carefully composed her expression and replied calmly.
“It’s not my place to concern myself with where the Duke goes. I’m not particularly curious either.”
As she spoke, she gracefully lifted her teacup to her lips, prompting Aaron to quickly change the subject.
“Speaking of that, I’d like to hear more about the trading company. I heard from the Marquis that Miss Rozelia has an exceptional eye for artworks in Lugbeljet—was there anything notable among the recent shipment?”
Rozelia, perceiving Aaron’s tactful attempt to lift her spirits, smiled faintly and easily began describing the pieces she had seen at the trading company.
Yet even as she spoke of art, her mind felt strangely blank and empty.

Rozelia looked across the table at Clojet, who was elegantly sipping her tea.
Clojet, having visited the Marquis’s estate, had taken a seat before her under the pretense of afternoon tea and had been watching Rozelia’s every move for some time, as if hesitating over something.
Seeing Clojet so hesitant, Rozelia leisurely continued drinking her tea, as though waiting patiently. Only then did Clojet finally speak up, albeit awkwardly.
“Oh, by the way… Pipi hasn’t been eating or drinking properly lately and seems quite weak. You know—my canary.”
Rozelia knew it well.
It was the little canary Klaus had gifted to Clojet—
the very thing Clojet cherished most among all his gifts.
When Rozelia had mentioned not seeing the bird, she was relieved to learn it had been left behind in the Duchy.
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.”
