Who Spent the Night with the Tower Master (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
Servants stealing their master’s belongings happens more often than one might think.
Claire had seen servants beaten and driven out for laying hands on household items three times already.
Once it was the baroness’s pearl earrings, another time someone was caught robbing her father’s safe, and yet another had embezzled funds from Ryan’s office.
Though such incidents weren’t frequent, their occasional occurrence meant Claire never fully trusted the household staff.
“Who entered my room?”
Claire gathered all the servants together and glared at them venomously. Terrified, the servants exchanged uneasy glances. Then, the head maid McDalin stepped forward.
“Young miss, what seems to be the matter?”
“My brooch is missing.”
“Your brooch?”
“The one Father gave me as a birthday gift! The one I cherish most! I left it in my jewelry box, and now it’s gone!”
At this, McDalin turned toward the servants and asked,
“Has anyone among you touched the young miss’s jewelry box?”
The servants exchanged looks and vigorously shook their heads.
“No one enters that room except the young miss’s personal maids…”
“Of course not! I’ve been in the kitchen the whole time.”
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.”
