The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 115
Only the sound of an ink-laden pen scratching against paper filled the quiet study. The white hand gliding over the letter paper drew elegant strokes, yet occasionally paused repeatedly.
Aidel, biting her trembling lips, finally wrote the last sentence and quietly set the pen down. She slipped the sealed envelope between the pages of her work notebook and silently rose from her seat.
Before leaving the room, she turned her head one last time to look around the Grand Duchess’s study. Memories of her first visit here with Marline flashed through her mind.
“This is the study for Your Grace, the Grand Duchess. It’s still being furnished, but everything should be ready within this week.”
The space, once cluttered with the chaos of redecoration, was now densely packed with memories gathered here. Her eyes, lowered until shadows from her lashes darkened them, brimmed with tender emotion just like those cherished memories.
After standing still for a long while, she finally forced her reluctant feet to move. Aidel’s steps, once she exited the study, led straight to the entrance of the ducal residence.
“I heard news of Your Highness Bi’s outing. You’re planning to stop by the Imperial University and then visit Charlotte’s Dressmaking Salon.”
“…I have urgent matters regarding next semester’s arrangements. And since I’m already going out, I thought it best to accept Madame Pomponu’s invitation to visit the dressmaking salon as previously requested.”
Aidel explained her reason for the unscheduled outing to Marline, who had come to the entrance upon hearing of the Grand Duchess’s departure—words she had prepared in advance to make her sudden trip appear as natural as possible.
“Understood. Please take care on your way.”
Marline and the other servants smiled as they saw her off. Seeing their kind and loyal faces, Aidel painfully fluttered her eyelashes.
It felt as if thorns of guilt pierced deep into her chest. Yet, at that very moment, determined not to forget any of their faces, she gazed intently at each one, as though etching them into her memory.
“Your Highness Bi, shall we depart now?”
Bien, standing beside Marline, interjected naturally. Aidel looked at her in surprise—Bien’s intent to accompany her was unmistakable. Of all the ducal household’s staff, Bien was the one who weighed especially heavy on Aidel’s heart.
“Bien… You really don’t have to accompany me on this outing.”
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.”
