After the divorce, I was adorned in a phoenix robe, while my ex-husband's entire family dug up

"Waaaaah!"

It was the sound of a child crying.

"My lord, the young master has been crying and refuses to sleep. It seems he can only calm down when you hold him."

The wet nurse looked anxious.

When Lu Jieyue heard this, her blood seemed to freeze, and a chill suddenly shot through her body from her tailbone.

Those words, once heard, were like a boulder crashing into my heart. Before they could even create a ripple, my heart plummeted straight down to the icy bottom.

All expectations and joy shattered in an instant, leaving only a biting chill and surging despair that made it hard to breathe.

For a moment, she didn't know why she was worried that Meng Yun disliked her face.

She thought Meng Yun loved her, so how could he have an illegitimate child?!

Meng Yun sighed, "Take him down first, I'll come back and soothe him in a bit and feed him some milk."

The wet nurse listened to the instructions and took the child away.

"Jieyue".

"Listen to me."

"It happened a long time ago, and I only recently found out about it and brought my child back."

Don't worry, if you have a child, that child will definitely not pose a threat to him.

As he spoke, he was about to lift Lu Jieyue's red veil.

Lu Jieyue flinched and trembled as she said, "Don't touch me."

Meng Yun narrowed his eyes, and veins bulged on his forehead.

After a moment's thought, he suppressed his emotions, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "It was just a past affair from when I was young and didn't know any better. Why are you arguing with a child?"

Lu Jieyue's voice was choked with sobs, "Ignorant? That child can't even speak. He was born a year ago, right?"

"It's been three years since we last met, Meng Yun."

Meng Yun, panting heavily, his eyes dark and unfathomable, gritted his teeth and said, "It was just a mistake, why did you have to make such a fuss!"

The sound was louder than before.

Lu Jieyue was stunned.

"roll!"

She was hit with two blows in one day, and all the emotions that had been piling up inside her were finally released.

Meng Yun clenched his fists repeatedly. Suddenly, he thought of something, closed his eyes, and lowered his voice, saying, "Alright, I won't bother you today. Think it over carefully."

After saying that, he turned and left in anger.

Women are such a hassle!

His Majesty values ​​the character of his ministers most. The fact that he killed his wife had already caused His Majesty to have many grievances against him. Fortunately, he is quite capable and has not yet threatened His Majesty's position. However, His Majesty has been a little distant in his words towards him.

The emergence of an illegitimate child only adds fuel to the fire; in short, it will only harm his own position, not benefit him.

He was so eager to marry Lu Jieyue that he decided to keep the matter of the illegitimate child a secret for now, and then just say that it was Lu Jieyue's child.

Didn't Lu Jieyue want to marry him? After losing her virginity in front of everyone, who would want her?

If it weren't for the urgent need for someone to take the blame, he wouldn't have wanted to get involved with Lu Jieyue anymore.

She got angry first!

Lu Jieshuang watched Meng Yun's angry departure from outside the door, and her eyes lit up.

She went inside.

"Looks like I was overthinking it. Scratching your face was pointless." Lu Jieshuang said with a hint of schadenfreude.

Lu Jieyue's vision was blurry, and she didn't want to pay attention to her.

"Good sister, are you still blaming me? If Meng Yun hadn't pretended to be a gentleman earlier, I wouldn't have done this. If you want to blame someone, blame him."

Lu Jieyue remained silent, crying until the early hours of the morning. Her long-awaited wedding had turned out to be a scene that made her feel like she was dying.

So Meng Yun was in such a hurry to marry her, just for this bastard!

The feeling of giving your heart and being treated like this is just too painful.

Compared to the heartache, the pain on my face is nothing.

Wei Zhaoning felt that the Marquis's mansion was much quieter now that there were two fewer people.

I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time.

After breakfast, Dongxu chuckled to herself.

"What are you laughing at?" Wei Zhaoning found it strange.

Dongxu hesitated, then a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

"No...it's nothing, Miss, please eat first."

Wei Zhaoning immediately sensed something was wrong, stood up, grabbed Dongxu, and vigorously scratched its itch.

Dongxu giggled from the tickling, but finally surrendered, "Alright, alright, Miss, I'll talk."

"I was just afraid you would be sad if you knew."

Wei Zhaoning raised an eyebrow.

Dongxu suppressed a laugh. "The master is in trouble. The regent is investigating, but Liuxiang said today that the shop's accounts have returned to normal overnight, and all the people the master sent have been arrested."

Wei Zhaoning was shocked. The Regent went to the Duke's mansion for this? How did he know about this?

Dongxu continued, "Miss, don't be angry. I was laughing because the master treated you very badly before and even tried to harm the General's Mansion. I heard that the master suffered a lot this time and dares not act rashly."

"No matter how I look at it, I feel that the Regent is avenging you."

Wei Zhaoning suddenly felt a warmth in her heart.

Then he asked, "And... what about His Majesty?"

Dongxu laughed and said, "Yes, yes, how could I forget to mention that?"

I heard that the Regent told the Master that he wouldn't report the matter this time out of respect for the Duke, but that was still worse than a slap in the face.

Wei Zhaoning suddenly felt like laughing. Although that was his father, he had harbored malicious intentions, so they were enemies in terms of their stance.

There was even a hint of exhilaration in it.

She admitted that she had a dark side, so how could she not hate her father who treated her like a weed?

If it weren't for this relationship, she would have actually wanted to kill him.

With the regent's intervention, it will be more difficult for them to take any further action, and things will become much easier to handle.

"Have someone keep an eye on things." Wei Zhaoning's lips curled slightly.

For some reason, the Regent always gave her a feeling of warmth in her heart.

It felt as if a dark and damp place deep within my heart had been irresistibly illuminated by a strong ray of sunlight.

The surroundings gradually warmed up, and the damp places were gradually dried.

Like being enveloped in the warm amniotic fluid of a mother, with him around, it feels like the world is safe.

She had been living in fear and trepidation for many years, and this feeling made her feel attached to it. She wanted to hold on to it and wished it could last forever.

She was in a good mood and planned to treat the Regent to a meal. Whatever his reasons, he had helped her, and she had no reason not to thank him.

Thinking this, I quickened my pace, and the image of that handsome and reliable figure appeared in my mind, making me feel a little excited.

It seems that something has sprouted in a place she didn't notice.

"Wait for me, Miss! Are you in such a hurry to see the Regent that you even forgot about me, your little accessory?" Dongxu, carrying some things behind her, quickly caught up.

Wei Zhaoning's ears turned red. "What nonsense are you talking about? Who's getting angry?"

They had only just reached the main gate of the Marquis's residence when they were blocked by two hurried figures.
