Disguised as a Male Servant in the Duke's House (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
Rozelia, who had been arguing with Count Bernas as he shouted that she was a thief, had no choice but to slip out of the mansion as though being driven away.
If it truly were Count Bernas’s work, it might immediately erase the remaining debt…
Apparently, due to his dementia, his mind was so scattered that he’d even forgotten he’d painted the picture.
According to the original story, Count Bernas’s painting wouldn’t begin circulating by word of mouth in the imperial court and catch the Crown Princess’s attention until at least another year from now.
Another year…? By then, I’ll have withered away and died in the duke’s mansion.
Thinking of ways to give Count Bernas a reason to paint earlier than in the original plot, Rozelia turned and walked back toward the mansion.
“I thought I told you not to wander outside for now.”
So absorbed in thoughts about Count Bernas that she hadn’t noticed her surroundings, Rozelia startled and looked up at the familiar voice.
There stood Klaus, leaning against the mansion’s entrance and staring intently at her.
After calming her racing heart, Rozelia met Klaus’s gaze with a sharp expression.
“Who on earth would wander around just for fun?”
“Don’t you owe the duke money that needs repaying? Do you think money just sprouts from the ground?”
“…When did I ever pressure you?”
Who was it, then, keeping her as a servant and making a fuss about bringing her younger sister in as a maid?
Rozelia had plenty to say, but gave up on explaining and let out a heavy sigh instead.
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.”
