Lady Devil - Chapter 65
#65
The beginning of autumn, filled with evil. A mysterious letter arrived by messenger.
The one who received it from an unidentified outsider, without even the sender written on it, was the kitchen maid. She reported to me that a man with his hood pulled low repeatedly emphasized that the contents were urgent and must be delivered immediately to the lady of the house, before quickly disappearing.
[I’ve placed the letter in your bedroom, my lady.]
The maid bowed her head respectfully. In the empty hall, sitting alone at the massive stone dining table, I abruptly put down my soup spoon upon hearing this news.
[Why didn’t you bring it to me directly…]
[Pardon?]
The maid questioned with startled rabbit eyes as I suddenly burst out in anger. While it was certainly Indridason’s way to bring letters arriving at the castle to the bedroom, I was irritated by her unnecessarily creating extra work.
[You… that work…]
I couldn’t finish my sentence. I closed my eyes tightly and shook my head. It was difficult to give a long scolding in the southern language. In the end, as always, I tried to call the dining maid standing behind me, but suddenly my fingertips froze in mid-air.
I thought of Johannes.
Besides Johannes, there was no one else who would send me even a small piece of news. My heart swelled instantly. And at the same time, extreme anxiety overwhelmed me.
I must check it before my husband returns.
That was the only thought in my half-dead mind, with no time for joy. It felt as if thin blades were slicing through my entire body.
At that time, the old man’s whims and suspicions had reached their peak, so despite all my efforts with the southern language, I was practically a mute woman. Not content with tormenting my body, the old man seemed determined to isolate me from the outside world, wanting to keep even my gestures, footsteps, and glances under his surveillance.
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.”
