The Deposed Empress and Her New Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
“Her Highness will be here shortly. Please wait just a moment, my lady.”
Following the maid’s guidance, the Marchioness of Durenburg arrived at Princess Solty’s reception room and looked around.
‘So it’s true what they say—that His Majesty treats his honored guests with utmost generosity.’
The interior was as lavish as that of any duke’s residence. As she carefully surveyed the room, the Marchioness of Durenburg rehearsed the conversation she would have with the princess.
‘First of all…’
She planned to celebrate having successfully hosted the first tea party, then subtly remind the princess not to overlook her own efforts and hard work.
After that, she could discuss the next steps.
Just as the Marchioness of Durenburg finished organizing her thoughts, the princess entered the reception room.
“You’ve come at just the right time.”
She wore a dress slightly more comfortable than the one from the tea party.
The Marchioness of Durenburg rose from her seat and watched as the princess settled onto the sofa.
“Please sit. I was just hoping to speak with you, my lady.”
Only then did the Marchioness of Durenburg sit on the sofa and begin speaking, following her planned sequence.
“I’m relieved. I was a bit worried I might have disturbed you while you were resting after such a big event.”
The Marchioness of Durenburg deliberately feigned modest concern.
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.”
