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

Wei Zhaoning watched this scene and felt only irony.

He smiled and shook his head.

Finally, the old lady couldn't bear it any longer and agreed, "Alright, alright, bring the child to us when you have time so we can see what he looks like. We'll do our best to help you find him, but don't do anything rash before then!"

Lu Jieyue finally relented and snorted.

Suddenly, someone came to report, "Miss, the young master has sent someone to find you and wants you to return as soon as possible."

The old lady urged, "Hurry up and go! It's not even the three-day wedding return ceremony yet. What kind of behavior is it to run back to your parents' home on the first day of your marriage?"

Lu Jieyue had already made up her mind and followed the servant back to the Meng residence.

She was initially worried that Meng Yun would dislike her because her face was scratched, but now it seems that Meng Yun owes her something, so he has no choice but to forgive her. She is the one in the right.

When Meng Yun returned home from court, he intended to ask Lu Jieyue how she had decided, but a servant reported that Lu Jieyue had run back to the Marquis's residence that day, which displeased him.

He stormed to Lu Jieyue's courtyard, but when he reached the gate, he forced himself to suppress his anger. He couldn't lose his temper; he had to control it.

Let's get this woman under control first.

But as soon as I entered the door, my anger, which I had just suppressed, suddenly surged up again.

Lu Jieyue's face was completely uncovered, revealing a bloody scar that made her already unremarkable appearance even uglier, making her look like a vengeful female ghost, both terrifying and bizarre.

When Lu Jieyue saw Meng Yun arrive, she tilted her head slightly and snorted coldly.

"I'll raise that child, but you have to agree to one condition."

Meng Yun's forehead veins bulged, and a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.

Lu Jieyue adopted a condescending negotiating stance, saying, "That bastard child cannot be enshrined in the ancestral hall."

As long as that bastard doesn't enter the ancestral hall, everything is fine. In the future, when she gives birth to a child, she can let Meng Yun raise her child as her heir. This bastard will be raised to be corrupt and useless. Then, she can use some means to find an opportunity to kill him.

Meng Yun remained silent for a long time, disappearing into the shadows, and the atmosphere around him began to become somewhat frightening.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jieyue arrogantly said, "I won't pursue the things you wronged me before, as long as you agree to this condition."

If he tries anything funny or takes a concubine in the future, I will divorce him.

After saying that, she waited for Meng Yun to come forward and coax her with sweet words, just like a few days ago.

She shifted her body to the side, looking angry and waiting for someone to coax her.

As Meng Yun's footsteps drew closer, Lu Jieyue couldn't help but feel a little smug.

She wanted to see how Meng Yun would coax her. After she dealt with that little bitch outside, she would definitely tie her up and bring her to the Meng residence to see how Meng Yun would humbly coax her.

She's a despicable scumbag who dared to seduce her man; she won't even know how she died.

"Snap—"

A deafening slap rang out, and before Lu Jieyue could react, she was jolted awake by the excruciating pain.

Her hands trembled as she touched her cheek, tearing open the newly healed scars, leaving sticky blood on her hands.

"Did I give you too much credit?"

Meng Yun's deep voice rang out.

Lu Jieyue's heart raced. She looked up and saw that Meng Yun's eyes were bloodshot, filled with anger, like tiny sparks about to ignite into a raging fire.

He narrowed his eyes, a strange smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth that sent chills down one's spine.

"You......." Lu Jieyue was speechless for a long time, staring wide-eyed at Meng Yun.

Meng Yun looked exactly the same as when they had hit her before they got married.

A sinister thought crept into my mind: Could it be that Meng Yun has never changed...?

Before she could think it through, that powerful fist slammed into Lu Jieyue's chest again.

Meng Yun, enraged, slammed the fist against his face several times. "What happened to your face? Huh?"

How could someone of his rank marry such an ugly woman? What would people think of him?

Originally, I just thought that since Lu Jieyue offered herself up, I would let her take the blame for the illegitimate child.

Who knew she would turn her face into this after the wedding!

How will I face people after this!

But she was oblivious to the good fortune and picked up Joe here.

Lu Jieyue clutched her stomach, wincing in pain. Her face contorted in agony, blood trickling from the corner of her lips. Her throat was dry, and she could no longer speak.

Meng Yun took a deep breath and slapped Lu Jieyue across the face again.

"say!"

Lu Jieyue was slapped until she was dizzy and disoriented. In her daze, some strange yet familiar fragments flashed through her mind.

The tinnitus penetrated my eardrums, and the surroundings gradually became blurry, leaving only a buzzing sound.

I don't know how much time passed before the tinnitus stopped, and a gentle yet powerful voice entered my ears.

"Elder sister, Meng Yun killed his wife. He is unreliable. Before Zhu Feng left, he asked me to take good care of the Marquis's mansion. I can't just watch you jump into the fire."

It was Wei Zhaoning. Her voice was noticeably choked up when she mentioned Lu Zhufeng.

"You can hate me, hate me if you want, hit me or scold me if you want. I may be the junior, but I'm determined to handle this matter."

The scene breaks off and shifts.

She got married, but the man standing next to her wasn't Meng Yun; it was another stranger.

The man said gently, "My wife."

"Don't be afraid. Everything in this mansion is at your disposal. No one will dare to bully you."

He paused, then said, "I know you still have someone else in your heart, but it's okay. I will treat you even better in the future. As long as you are safe and happy, even if you don't look at me, I will be content."

I won't take a concubine to bother you; just be a good countess.

All I heard was my own fierce voice, "Get out of here!"

On her wedding night, she kicked the man out.

Where is Meng Yun? Where did Meng Yun go?

Many fragmented images flashed through my mind, but I couldn't find Meng Yun's figure.

Suddenly, she snapped back to reality, and Meng Yun's fierce face was demanding of her: "I told you to speak! Are you mute?!"

Then came another hard slap.

Lu Jieyue was beaten to the point of exhaustion, her body covered in bruises. Meng Yun seemed to feel some relief before leaving.

He left with a single sentence before he left.

"You dare go out and let anyone see you looking like this!"

Lu Jieyue was completely dazed. The stinging pain in her body tormented her. She lay on the ground like a corpse, motionless.

When Lu Jieshuang came in and saw this scene, she instantly held her breath.

At that moment, she didn't know what she was feeling—whether it was heartache or relief.

She did hate Lu Jieyue for using her as a stain, but when she actually saw her older sister, who had been by her side since childhood, being beaten like this, a touch of emotion still flashed through her heart.

"Get up! What are you doing lying there! Quickly, summon the imperial physician!"
