Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 65
“No. If I step forward wrongly now, it’ll only make things worse.”
When Gesta tried to eat the soup, Tree opened his mouth to stop him, but quickly changed his mind and swallowed the words that had nearly burst out of his throat.
“If I confess now, it won’t just be me who gets punished—Master might get dragged into this too.”
Whether this matter ended right here with Tree alone, or whether it would involve Gesta as well, depended entirely on Emperor Latrasil’s discretion.
Moreover, even if Emperor Latrasil chose to treat this as solely Tree’s independent wrongdoing, it would still be problematic.
Ranamun was the eldest son of Duke Atraxi, and Gesta was the son of Lord Chancellor.
The two houses already had a strained relationship—what if it became known that someone from Lord Chancellor’s household had fed drugged soup to Duke Atraxi’s child?
Just imagining how violently the two houses might clash once this came to light sent chills down Tree’s spine.
Besides, among all the servants in Lord Chancellor’s household, no one cherished or cared for Gesta more than Tree himself.
It wasn’t that the others lacked loyalty; it was simply because he had been raised from childhood specifically as Gesta’s bodyguard and childhood companion.
Tree firmly believed that unless someone spent just as much time grooming another person for that role, no one else could ever replace him as Gesta’s protector.
But what if he became entangled in this incident and was forcibly removed from Gesta’s side? Could Gesta—already timid and quiet—really survive in the harem alone?
Prince Klein, crazed like a rabid dog, would gnash his teeth watching over them, and Ranamun would surely grow to hate Gesta over this incident.
So it couldn’t happen.
“I absolutely must not leave Master’s side.”
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.”
