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

Wei Zhaoning looked serious. After reading the letter, he walked to the candle and burned it to ashes.

"She really did have a backup plan," Wei Zhaoning sneered.

Dongxu knew the contents of the letter. "Why is she like a mad dog, always clinging to Miss? Hasn't she learned her lesson from the Regent last time? How dare she take such a risky approach again?"

Wei Zhaoning smiled and said, "I wish her success."

"Miss, Wei Jiaruo will definitely make a move soon. Shall we still go to the Regent's Palace?"

"Why not go? Liu Xiang is keeping an eye on things here; I'm ready to fight at any time."

Compared to Wei Jiaruo, she was more afraid of Lu Zhufeng's blue cucumber.

Lu Zhufeng is a ticking time bomb. She can't eat or sleep well if she stays in this Marquis's mansion for even a moment longer.

At least once she was at the Regent's Palace, she was safe and would not be threatened in that way.

Dong Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, several fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky above the Marquis's residence.

Wei Zhaoning went out of the house to see what was going on.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Lu Ze, who reeked of alcohol.

Lu Ze was being supported by several of his cronies.

"Brother Lu will surely achieve great things in the future."

"Yes, you're really different from before. Now you're more down-to-earth, and you've finally earned a positive review!"

"Come on, let's set off some more fireworks! We have to celebrate this wonderful occasion to the fullest!"

Lu Ze's face was filled with happiness. "It seems that the little girl really likes the fragrance I made. She's been praising it to everyone."

"I've already invited a distinguished guest to inspect my shop. If we can win him over, I'll treat you guys to the best of everything from now on. You won't be shortchanged!"

The group chuckled. "Brother Lu, why are you saying all this? Shall we go for drinks at Chunhua Pavilion tomorrow? I heard they've got a top courtesan, and she's exceptionally beautiful."

Lu Ze waved his hand dismissively, "It's on me. Don't any of you try to take it from me. I'm telling you, I'm going to be the richest man in the world someday."

Thinking of this, his mouth almost stretched to the corners of his eyes, and he smiled very happily.

Especially recently, he heard some amazing news: Bai Yunxiao broke up with that male prostitute!

Wait a little longer. Once he succeeds, he'll snatch Bai Yunxiao away!

Wei Zhaoning watched for a while, but found it uninteresting, so she went back.

Dongxu asked, "Miss, has the second young master really changed his ways? I heard people say he's become very reliable."

"It's none of my business. I'm leaving soon, so everything in this manor is none of my concern," Wei Zhaoning said with a faint smile.

Lu Zhufeng was also aware of this farce. He heard that the maid he had favored had been severely punished by Wei Jiaruo, and was covered in sores that she was thrown out of the Marquis's mansion.

But he felt no unease at all. To him, that maid was at most a disposable tool, or to put it bluntly, just a worthless life.

Wei Jiaruo took the initiative to find him, but not to confront him; she was simply trying to appease him with a desire for reconciliation.

He gave a few perfunctory words and sent the person away.

Looking at Wei Jiaruo's reaction, he suddenly became curious about Wei Zhaoning's reaction.

Wei Zhaoning must be furious if she knew about this.

She might come and grab his ear in a little while and ask him if he still loves her and why he's sleeping with someone else.

Or perhaps they could find that maid, have a little argument about who she was, and then warn her never to appear in the Marquis's mansion again.

Or perhaps after the fight, she cries and asks him if he can only love her and not have intimate contact with other women.

For some reason, these things that Lu Zhufeng used to hate now brought him a long-lost sense of excitement.

But reality dealt him a heavy blow. Wei Zhaoning didn't react. She didn't come to him crying and demanding an explanation, she didn't make things difficult for the maid, and she didn't even give a single response.

Lu Zhufeng began to feel uneasy again. Suddenly, he remembered that Wei Zhaoning was very concerned about his reputation. After such an unpleasant incident a few days ago, he would definitely not show it. He guessed that he was the one throwing a tantrum in the room.

Thinking this way, he felt much better.

He certainly wouldn't take the initiative to find Wei Zhaoning. She hadn't finished what she had done before, and he wouldn't forgive her easily.

Let her sulk on her own.

They waited and waited until the next day, but there was still no news.

Lu Zhufeng could no longer deceive himself.

He bumped into Wei Zhaoning as soon as he stepped out. Wei Zhaoning looked unwell, as if he hadn't slept all night.

This was undoubtedly a reassuring pill, calming Lu Zhufeng's mind. He guessed correctly that Wei Zhaoning must have been puzzled by this matter last night.

Looking at it like this, he actually felt a little sorry for it.

Wei Zhaoning must have had a tough night.

He snorted coldly and silently decided in his heart that as long as Wei Zhaoning came to admit her mistake, he would not make things difficult for her, considering how uneasy she had been about this matter last night.

When Wei Zhaoning saw Lu Zhufeng in the distance, she quickened her pace. "Dongxu, hurry up."

Dongxu was fiddling with something and didn't see Lu Zhufeng. She muttered, "Oh dear, Miss, I played cards all night last night and my legs are weak. Slow down, slow down."

Wei Zhaoning shook his head helplessly, grabbed Dongxu, and ran off.

"If we're late, that newly opened pastry shop will be sold out!"

The two chatted quite a bit last night. Dongxu got so engrossed in the conversation that she didn't notice the tea leaves in her hand and accidentally brewed a very strong cup of tea. The master and servant couldn't sleep all night after drinking it.

Finally resigned to my fate, I played cards all night. When I looked around, it was already broad daylight, and I still wasn't sleepy. I decided to go out for breakfast and then come back to catch up on my sleep.

Although my mind doesn't want to sleep at all, my body feels terribly uncomfortable.

"I'm never staying up all night again," Dongxu said, yawning.

"How dare you say that!" Wei Zhaoning flicked Dongxu's forehead.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Yun Ce as soon as he left the Marquis's residence.

Yun Ce seemed very happy, and his tone was light and airy as he said, "Miss Wei, the Prince said everything is settled. When would be a convenient time for you to complete the transaction?"

Wei Zhaoning was initially quite happy, but upon hearing the word "deal," for some reason, he felt uneasy.

She didn't show it, but smiled and said, "Tomorrow, let's leave tomorrow."

Yun Ce received an affirmative answer, his face beaming with joy. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he immediately returned to report.

Dongxu scoffed, "Why is he so happy? He looks silly."

Wei Zhaoning chuckled: "What did they do to you? Why are you being so mean?"

"I just can't stand him, and his brother too!"

Wei Zhaoning was taken aback. "Yun Ce has an older brother? How did you know?"

Dongxu rubbed her nose. "I found out by chance. Anyway, his brother isn't a good person. Let's go, Miss, my legs hurt so much."

Wei Zhaoning raised an eyebrow.

After having breakfast, the two returned to the Marquis's residence. They were about to say goodbye to this place, and their excitement was hard to contain.

But once inside, I was dumbfounded.
