Don't Be Kind Rashly (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
Lu, who was unfamiliar with banquets, didn’t quite understand—but at balls where dancing and socializing went hand in hand, the role of a guardian for young noble ladies was extremely important.
That duty usually fell to elder noblewomen or mothers.
Moreover, fathers also had their part to play in teaching their daughters. Young ladies learned how to behave around gentlemen and how to converse properly by dancing at least once with their father or another senior male relative from the household.
Of course, after just one social season, most young ladies naturally preferred dancing with peers over adults—or they might even acquire an official partner.
Lu did have an official partner, but since she had drawn such a clear line, it wasn’t obvious at all. Consequently, all sorts of men began approaching her.
“Your daughter has accomplished something truly remarkable. My sincerest congratulations.”
Ethan Arthur Jenus, Earl of Place, stood with his hands clasped behind his back, calmly observing the other gentlemen who were ready to pounce the moment someone opened the floodgates. Hmph—they had decent eyesight, yet none of them met his standards as a father.
“Thank you. How are your parents faring?”
“Yes, of course. Thanks to you, they’re in good health.”
Ethan skillfully changed the subject, never once introducing his daughter to them. Naturally, he didn’t forget to add a reason either.
“I’d love to introduce my daughter, but she seems utterly exhausted today. I’d appreciate it if you’d let her rest for a bit.”
“Oh, of course! After such a tremendous feat, who wouldn’t be tired? You truly have an exceptional daughter.”
Haha—what on earth was this? Lu, who no one approached, could only sit alone, sipping the juice and water her father had brought, and quietly glance around.
Eyes were flocking toward her, yet the men were being blocked by her father, and the young ladies watching Lu merely fluttered their fans without saying a word.
In any case, few would likely speak to her anyway. The true highborn nobles wouldn’t casually mingle with someone from the lowly Kalreta Empire. Perhaps due to Haiju’s influence, her now-sharper ears caught their chatter from behind their fans.
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.”
