“……?”
30 gold a week?
It was so unrealistic that it wasn’t even surprising.
To offer an annual salary as a weekly wage.
Was this just a flippant offer……?
Iris, of course, laughed, thinking it was a joke.
Where would Duke Aser get such money.
But Aser did not laugh with her.
“……?”
With one eyebrow knitted, Aser looked at Iris with his rugged face, his chin propped.
Aser opened his mouth.
“……I am the heir of the Julius family. Right now, I only have authority over the family, not that Julius’ private property is immediately mine.”
“……?”
Aser’s words continued.
“I have half the inheritance rights to the Marquis Julius’s estate by virtue of a marriage contract guaranteed by the royal family. I’ve also been promised a royal reward.”
Iris looked at him flusteredly.
The heir to the Julius family……?
Right. Iris knew, of course.
She knew the fact ……
She, Iris, who had seized all sorts of news and newspaper articles in the world, did not know the specific content of the marriage contract of ‘Aser’ and ‘Julius family’.
Aser smiled bitterly and continued speaking.
“As a reward for participating in the war, I will receive an annuity of 10,000 gold for the next 10 years from Marquis Julius. I’ve already received 100,000 gold in a lump sum.”
“…….”
Iris’s mouth hung open in a daze.
Aser smiled faintly.
“……I think you don’t know enough about me.”
[This is the time separator]After entering the bathroom.
Leaning against the closed door, Aser closed his eyes tightly and furrowed his brows.
“…….”
……How disgusting.
To reel off a list of assets as if showing off.
“…….”
How would it look if it seemed like he was trying to buy her?
Aser, who had been immersed in thought,
Soon sighed and turned on the cold water.
[This is the time separator]Marquis’s mansion, Matilda Julius’s room.
As soon as the mansion owner was left with only the schedule that did not need to accompany, Matilda finished her schedule for the day and went up to her room.
And immediately entered the office and spread the mansion blueprint on the desk.
Rustle!
Placing a paperweight on the corner of the rolled blueprint, Matilda began to examine the empty rooms in the mansion one by one.
There were quite a few places marked as ‘spaces given to Aser’ in blue ink, but despite this, the flushed face of the Marquis’s wife was swirling with a good mood and vitality for the first time in a long time.
Because she suddenly had a great idea when she heard the wonderful story of her daughter who wanted to help with the mansion’s work as a future owner.
New bridal room.
I should decorate a new bridal room for my daughter.
Instead of the room Iris is using, a bigger and better room.
Put in more expensive and better furniture.
‘Why did I boil up inside when I could have done this earlier!’
The Marquis’s wife felt good.
Although it was a waste of money and effort to decorate that room, the Marquis’s wife cleanly gave up her regrets.
She can’t let Christina use the things that the maid girl touched first.
Especially if it’s the bridal room and bed.
Matilda was reminded of a new fact from her determined daughter’s words.
After all, Christina will be the owner of this mansion.
Then, the room she uses is the main room.
There was no need at all to boil inside and get angry that a maid’s room was taking over the precious bridal room.
She could just throw that room away.
With sparkling eyes, Matilda swept the unused large rooms on the mansion blueprint.
Let’s see where……
Come to think of it, there were quite a few useful things among the gifts pouring into the Marquis’s mansion?
There were so many good things that if they were utilized, they could create a great room that wouldn’t be missed at all compared to the previous one.
Just when she decided to spend at least twice as much money on decorating the old bridal room,
Thinking that she couldn’t spend a lot even if she wanted to, Matilda laughed.
She called the butler.
“Jim. You have the book where you recorded the gift list, right? Bring them.”
“Yes, madam.”
It would be a great honor for those who sent gifts if they were used for Christina’s bridal room.
As Butler Jim went out, Halon came in as if they were switching places.
The Marquis’s wife called her cheerfully.
“Ah, Olga! Come here and look at this. What was this room used for?”
As Olga approached, she asked.
“Don’t you want to change into your dress comfortably first?”
The Marquis’s wife was so excited that she rushed.
“First of all, this. I’m choosing a room to redecorate as Christina’s bedroom.”
Olga came to her side and looked at the blueprint together.
Having a third of the mansion taken away by Arthur, the usable space had considerably decreased, but the duke’s mansion was very spacious.
The duchess still had over a hundred rooms left.
There was plenty of space to utilize.
The duchess picked a few spaces that seemed the most spacious, welllocated, and usable.
“Olga. How about this room? It’s not being used, right?”
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.”
