Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 265
“Ah, Papa…!”
Ignoring Isabella’s gasp, Cardinal de Mare growled hoarsely toward Cesare.
“You good-for-nothing bastard…!”
Cesare desperately wanted to call him “Father-in-law” right then and there, but fearing it would only worsen the situation, he clamped his mouth shut. All he could do was bow his head deeply in silence.
“Come out, Isabella.”
The cardinal commanded his daughter in a cold voice. But when Isabella saw her father arrive—interpreting it as reinforcements—she pleaded tearfully toward him.
“Papa, please persuade the duke! After all, a union between noble houses doesn’t care which daughter gets married off, right…?”
But what she received in return was her father’s baffling, furious shout.
“Shut your mouth and get out here right now, Isabella?!”
Startled by the cardinal’s loud outburst, Isabella immediately snapped her mouth shut, eyes wide. She had never been treated this way by her father before—especially not in front of others.
The cardinal seized his eldest daughter’s wrist and strode briskly out of the Duke of Pisano’s reception room, radiating palpable displeasure with every second spent at Villa Sorotone.
“Your Eminence, may some of our people accompany you on your return…”
Cesare, deeply uneasy about simply letting Cardinal de Mare leave like this, offered a hollow suggestion.
“Not necessary!”
The cardinal firmly rejected the offer. Both Cesare and Isabella were equally anxious, watching his rigid back disappear and wondering what he was truly thinking.
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.”
