My Husband Has Changed (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
“I know it’s presumptuous of me to say this, but… might you possibly consider seeing His Grace just once…?”
If even thoughtful Margaret had gone so far as to say such a thing, it was safe to assume that half the residents of Ansgar Castle had already noticed she was avoiding Valentin.
As proof, Yannick too was staring wide-eyed, looking between them with brimming curiosity.
Adel slowly set down her spoon. The stew she’d been enjoying just moments ago now sat heavy in her stomach.
“Surely you haven’t quarreled… or something has happened between the two of you…?”
“It’s nothing like that.”
Adel protested in a barely audible voice.
A quarrel—that was a word only applicable between equals.
What had happened lately was closer to her unilaterally avoiding Valentin.
It was because her suspicion toward Valentin had peaked right after Greta’s disappearance.
“The timing was far too coincidental.”
Greta had vanished exactly one week after they’d spoken about the curse.
Moreover, it was precisely when her curse seemed to be finally receding—Father Healer Jürgen’s herbal remedy had apparently begun working after long patience.
Even the herbalist hastily summoned from a neighboring estate assured them that Greta’s condition was improving and that her swollen throat would fully subside within ten days, restoring her voice.
The situation had been that hopeful.
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.”
