The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
Two days later, Somnium House was bustling from early morning.
Hailey waddled out the front door, lugging a large suitcase.
Servants were busy loading luggage onto the carriage, including Jane’s belongings.
Having handed her suitcase to a footman, Hailey approached Jane.
“I’ve loaded everything, my lady. I also double-checked your assignments with Master Joseph while you’re away in the countryside. My lady? My lady!”
“Oh—uh, yes!”
Jane, who had been staring blankly into space, snapped out of her daze and replied. Hailey narrowed her eyes slightly, then grinned.
“Are you excited?”
“Huh? About what?”
“The trip! It’s practically a honeymoon after all.”
It had already been over two weeks since their wedding—calling it a honeymoon was absurd.
Then what should she even call this journey?
Jane recalled Cain’s unexpected proposal the previous night.
〈We’re leaving for Delphion tomorrow. Pack your things.〉
She’d wanted to ask why he was going there and why she needed to accompany him, but Cain had kissed her immediately, leaving no chance to question him.
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.”

At this point it might be better if she just confides in him.
Oh what a shocking turn of events. They planned in framing Cain and not Jane.
So they have no evidence just the word of a stranger??
