I Didn't Really Want to Do Farming! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
If it were the usual Mila, she would have pretended not to hear and ignored any remark she didn’t want to respond to. But Mila’s reaction just now was markedly different from her usual self.
Though minor compared to others, it was clearly evident that she was emotionally shaken.
Sara quickly noticed that Mila was acting unlike herself and skillfully prodded further, not forgetting to sneer mockingly every now and then.
“That’s right. Who would’ve guessed you could deceive people so cunningly? You thoroughly tricked our Princess Anet. And that’s not all—you returned the golden peony only to sneak back at night and wither it. The princess cherished it so dearly, yet you showed no gratitude. You have no idea how heartbroken she was when she saw what happened to the peony. It was truly exhausting trying to comfort her.”
As Sara shook her head disapprovingly, the other maids standing beside her patted her shoulder as if consoling her. The saying “birds of a feather flock together” seemed perfectly apt—they behaved exactly like miniature versions of Princess Anet’s clique.
Mila withdrew her attention from Sara once again and stared fixedly at the notebook in her hands.
It was a deliberate show of indifference, but in truth, none of the contents in the notebook registered in her mind. In fact, today’s notebook contained even fewer report entries than usual.
The real problem was that the other maids seemed to believe Sara’s words as well.
While Sara spoke, all the maids except Beth stood at a distance, glaring at Mila with eyes just as cold as Sara’s.
Privately envious of Mila for earning the head maid’s favor, they found even Mila’s most trivial actions irritating.
“Anyone watching might think she’s the princess herself.”
“How pretentiously aloof she acts! Who could possibly approach her without feeling uneasy?”
Their deliberately loud remarks pierced straight into Mila’s chest, but she remained composed, calmly continuing to read her notebook. Unable to bear it any longer, Beth stepped forward and blocked Mila’s view.
“What’s wrong with you? We don’t need to fight among ourselves. Sara, just stop it. Why are you treating Mila like this? And honestly, we all saw it that day—Princess Anet herself picked the flower and told us to throw it away, and Princess Stella took it. How is that stealing?”
When Beth openly took Mila’s side, Sara, unable to contain her anger, shouted with an even redder face.
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.”
