No Evil Lady in the World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
Sediloi let out a dry chuckle upon hearing Meiana’s bold reply.
“Truly, you seem to know all sorts of odd things. Many people don’t even know the Labor Conciliation Bureau exists.”
“Well, of course I can’t be ignorant. After all, I’m fated to live my whole life as a laborer. When civil servants—those who live off the royal stipend—are sitting right here offering to help me, how could I pretend not to know?”
Sediloi wore a strange smile. He looked about to reply with a bitter expression, but Ariante suddenly interjected with a question.
“Father, what does ‘cruel employer’ mean?”
At that moment, Sediloi and Meiana’s expressions diverged sharply—one grim, the other gleeful. Meiana’s face flushed red as she puffed out her cheeks trying to suppress laughter, while Sediloi glanced awkwardly at Ariante before narrowing his eyes at Meiana.
“Are you laughing?”
“No! Why are you angry at me? Just answer quickly—Lady Ariante is curious!”
Ariante looked back and forth between Meiana and Sediloi, her face brimming with childlike curiosity for the first time in a while. Meiana nudged Sediloi’s side with her elbow, and though he widened his eyes as if to say, “What are you doing?” he only cleared his throat.
“Ariante… a ‘cruel employer’ is…”
Ariante’s eyes sparkled with anticipation and curiosity. Had it been Meiana asking, she would’ve made a fuss demanding an immediate answer—but since it was Sediloi taking his time, Ariante could only clench and unclench her hands, which was rather endearing.
“Someone who… um… mistreats their employees.”
“What does ‘mistreat’ mean, Father?”
Sediloi’s eyes flickered in dismay—he clearly hadn’t expected another question. He shot Meiana, who was nearly dying from suppressed laughter, an annoyed glance, then cleared his throat again.
“It means… to torment someone very harshly.”
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.”
