Madam and the Stable Keeper (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
“Had Madam only given the order, I would’ve struck that clerk once and come back.”
Walter spoke as the carriage was leaving the academy. But Edith wasn’t particularly troubled by the clerk who had ignored her.
She had always anticipated someone would look down on her at this academy for high-born noble children, and besides, her decision hadn’t been made so lightly that it could be shaken by a mere clerk’s provocation.
“It’s fine. Anyway, that person probably doesn’t care why I applied for a deferral. If they mess up once, they’ll likely be dismissed.”
She had cited marriage as her reason for deferral, but the real reason was her pregnancy.
Right now, when both her child’s existence and lineage had to remain hidden, it was actually advantageous if that clerk caused enough commotion to convince everyone her deferral reason was something entirely different.
Yet, she couldn’t deny feeling uneasy—what if, as the clerk implied, she truly couldn’t return to the academy? If she had to flee far from the capital to protect her child from dangerous people, she wouldn’t know how long that exile might last.
But she wasn’t ready to give up on either path just yet.
‘It’s too soon to abandon both my child and my future.’
Even if Walter couldn’t be part of that future, Edith believed she could manage on her own—just as her mother had raised her alone.
“Edith, my dear, I protect my family. So you just trust me.”
Recalling her mother’s words, Edith steadied her anxious heart and turned a smile toward Walter, who had promised to protect her.
“Anyway, since the paperwork’s done, let’s take a stroll through the marketplace for a change of mood.”
“Is there something you need?”
Walter, who lately had come to appreciate spending money, brightened his eyes as he remembered the gold coins he’d brought along.
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.”
