The Ghost Lady Of The Duke's Family (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 20
That evening, as the sun was setting.
Although the child’s condition had clearly improved compared to before, the fever still showed no signs of subsiding, and so, as the personal physician had insisted, they finally summoned a priest.
He had heard that considering the considerable expense involved, Lutis had granted his permission.
Aeli glanced out the window, catching sight of a carriage cutting through the dusk and entering the ducal estate.
‘So even those haughty priests will move when enough money is on the table.’
They were the type who rarely made house calls due to their pride, and even if they did, they would usually drag patients—unless on the verge of death—back to the temple for treatment.
Judging by how they’d agreed to treat the child right here in the ducal mansion, it must have cost far more than just a few coins.
Well, if it meant curing the child, what did a few coins matter?
Still, Aeli thought Lutis’s actions were somewhat unexpected.
‘I didn’t think he’d allow it to this extent.’
Even if she’d somewhat come to terms with her lingering resentment toward Lutis, it remained true that he had neglected the child.
After what she’d heard in his study that early morning, she’d braced herself for his indifference—expecting him to act as if merely keeping the child breathing was enough.
Knock knock.
“Young Master, those from the temple have arrived.”
At the polite knock, the child half-opened his eyes and met Aeli’s gaze.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”

Okay, so he can see her. Does it have something to do with the petal (・o・)
It turns out he actually hears her voice, I’m surprised.
