The Ghost Lady Of The Duke's Family (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 90
“Gulp it down, mmm!”
“…….”
At the very moment the Pope’s messenger set off, Aeli stared at Adrian in utter disbelief as he patted his slightly rounded belly, having just climbed into the carriage after finishing his meal.
‘……Just who on earth did he learn that from?’
It was strange—there was no one around acting like that. Aeli’s pupils trembled faintly as she removed her hood, feeling stifled inside the carriage.
Well… admittedly, she herself had occasionally done that before Adrian was even born.
But even so, there was no way he could have known about it.
After all, she hadn’t been able to stay by his side at all before he turned four, and even after she could remain near him, she’d been a ghost—unable to eat anything.
In other words, as a physical human being, the only nourishment she’d taken in was perhaps a few spoonfuls of thin soup over the past day or two.
‘Even without ever seeing it, does he just do it naturally… because he’s my child?’
……If that were true, she felt she owed him an apology.
Feeling a different kind of guilt—distinct from the remorse she’d carried toward Adrian until now—Aeli slowly rolled her eyes.
If it truly stemmed from her own personality, she could already picture the struggle ahead when the time came to correct his manners later on.
She knew, because she’d been there herself.
‘I’d like to raise him as freely as possible, but that doesn’t mean he’s exempt from basic etiquette altogether…’
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.”
