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

It took Lu Zhufeng a long time to finally release Wei Zhaoning. Wei Zhaoning gasped for breath, having almost suffocated.

Catching his breath, he was met with Lu Zhufeng's terrifyingly dark eyes.

Without a moment's hesitation, she shouted towards the door, "Help! Someone help! Help... um..."

Lu Zhufeng's whole body turned cold, and his half-closed eyes suddenly opened, flashing a fierce light.

"Incorrect answer."

"Ningning, I gave you a chance to tell the truth. Don't try to lie to me again. I don't believe what you're saying."

His face contorted with rage at the answer, and he used all his strength to tear at Wei Zhaoning's inner garment.

"You can't possibly not love me, but there's a limit to how much you can throw a tantrum."

"I've said before that I don't want to use force. If you don't cherish the opportunity I'm given, then you must be punished."

His veins bulged, and the ferocity in his eyes was undisguised as he bit down on Wei Zhaoning's neck.

He didn't want to care about anything anymore, and he didn't want anything to bother him. He only had one thought: to possess Wei Zhaoning.

Wei Zhaoning was completely restrained and unable to move. She was overwhelmed by unease and fear, and she couldn't even resist.

"I owed you a wedding night half a year ago, and today your husband will make it up to you."

Wei Zhaoning felt like dying, watching helplessly as Lu Zhufeng tore her clothes off and started unbuttoning his pants...

"I know you're not good at expressing yourself, that's okay. After I discipline you a couple of times, you'll always say something I want to hear..."

Before he could finish speaking, a soft "hiss" was heard, and a sharp, intense pain suddenly exploded from his lower back, as if a ball of fire had instantly spread throughout his body.

He froze, the ferocity on his face instantly solidified, his pupils contracted sharply, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and astonishment.

He felt as if his internal organs were being shredded, and the pain made him tremble all over, unable to even make a sound.

Wei Zhaoning opened her eyes and saw Lu Zhufeng being kicked off the bed, a dagger stuck in his waist, blood gushing out.

"you......"

Pei Yi looked down at Lu Zhufeng with deep eyes. His leather boot pressed against the dagger at Lu Zhufeng's waist, and with each bit of force, the dagger sank an inch deeper into Lu Zhufeng's flesh.

"Stay away from my men, you bastard."

This was the first time Wei Zhaoning had heard such vulgar language from the Regent.

Tears welled up in Wei Zhaoning's eyes as she threw herself into Pei Yi's arms, crying, "You're here, you're here..."

Pei Yi picked her up horizontally and said, "Don't be afraid, Ningning."

Lu Zhufeng coughed up blood, staring dumbfounded at the two of them, his voice hoarse, "You! Ningning is my wife! Let go! What are you doing!"

Pei Yi's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Now it belongs to me."

Before Lu Zhufeng could recover from his shock, a team of elite soldiers rushed in from outside the door.

"Your Highness," Yun Ce bowed.

Pei Yi glanced at Lu Zhufeng, "Just leave him alive. Don't come back to see me if you can't cripple him."

"Yes, sir!"

Wei Zhaoning felt like she had escaped a disaster. She grabbed Pei Yi's neck and refused to let go, burying her face in his shoulder. The frightening images from before faded away, and all she wanted to do now was cherish this moment of warmth and peace.

Lu Zhufeng was almost beaten to death. He spent the night on the verge of death. If Lu Ze hadn't found him, he might have died.

He was seriously injured and fell into a coma, remaining unconscious for five days before he could barely regain consciousness.

"Ningning!"

Lu Zhufeng suddenly sat up in bed, which aggravated his wound, causing him to groan in pain.

The old lady was crying her eyes out, and when she heard him say that, she immediately became unhappy and looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Lu Ze wasn't worried about him at all, and said sarcastically, "Brother, you're really a coward. You actually let someone steal your wife away from your home."

Despite the excruciating pain, Lu Zhufeng grabbed Lu Ze's collar in disbelief. "What did you say?!"

Lu Ze coughed lightly a few times and pushed Lu Zhufeng down. "You don't know yet? They're already engaged, and they're going to have their wedding banquet in a few days."

"You're talking nonsense! Ningning is the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, and she's already married. How can she be talking about remarrying! I need to see His Majesty! Someone, prepare a carriage for me!"

Ignoring his injuries, Lu Zhufeng immediately got out of bed.

At this moment, the old lady took out an imperial edict.

"That bitch has been colluding with the Regent for a long time, bullying our Marquis's Mansion because we have no power or influence. Don't let me catch her! Otherwise, I will definitely not let her off!" The old lady was obviously furious.

Lu Zhufeng looked at the imperial edict, knelt down with a thud, and kept stroking the words on it with his fingers.

"Impossible, impossible! How could His Majesty aid and abet a wicked man, forcibly taking another man's wife? How could His Majesty help that beast...?"

The imperial edict clearly stated that it granted the two a divorce and, incidentally, at the end, it also stated that Wei Zhaoning would be betrothed to the Regent as his Regent's Consort.

Lu Ze shrugged. "Then why don't you go cause trouble for His Majesty?"

"But it's a good thing. I've disliked Wei Zhaoning for a long time. Now that she's gone, I'm happy to have some peace and quiet."

"Don't you dislike her? Aside from being a bit embarrassing on the surface, this kind of thing is actually good for the Marquis's mansion. Why make such a fuss?"

Lu Zhufeng wouldn't listen to a word, shook his head, and roared in hatred.

"Is she really that heartless, that cruel..."

"That bitch! How dare she cheat on me with another man!"

Lu Zhufeng felt increasingly uneasy. He had actually thought that the Regent liked men when Wei Zhaoning and the Regent had been exchanging glances, and he hadn't noticed this detail.

"That bitch! That bitch!"

Lu Zhufeng was so angry that he smashed things, destroying many valuable items in the Marquis's mansion.

The old lady and Lu Ze had clearly never seen Lu Zhufeng in such a crazed state before, and for a moment they were too frightened to utter a sound.

"You bitch! You bitch!"

"You look down on me, huh? Trying to climb the social ladder by associating with the Regent's Palace!"

The movement was too big, which directly aggravated his wound. Lu Ze was very distressed about the valuable things in the room, which he had bought with the money he won. Who would compensate him if they were damaged?

In order to control Lu Zhufeng's emotions, he had no choice but to say, "Brother!"

"Can't you act like a man?! This kind of slut needs to be taught a lesson. We can't let this go!"

Lu Zhufeng slowly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

He now hates Wei Zhaoning to the core, and he even felt guilty for neglecting Wei Zhaoning during this period.

I never expected that this bitch would cheat on her so early. No wonder she never let him touch her!

How could she humiliate him like that!

Seeing that he reacted, Lu Ze continued, "Brother, don't you want to vent your anger?"

What's the point of smashing things in the Marquis's mansion? If you're so capable, go smash the Regent's head and crack his skull open!

You need to pull yourself together now, or you'll play right into that scoundrel's hands. Plan slowly, and one day, find a way to deal with the Regent and ensure he can never rise again!
