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

She grasped the point that Lu Zhufeng cared about: "You really haven't changed at all. You're still the same as before, not taking care of your body at all. If I hadn't been by your side to take care of your body all these years, I don't know how badly your body would be damaged now."

Listen to me, okay? You really can't keep working yourself to the bone like this. Look at you, you have dark circles under your eyes, your cheeks are sunken, and your bones are almost showing. What if... what if something really happens to you?

As she finished speaking, she even took out a handkerchief and wiped away tears that weren't even there.

Lu Zhufeng's heart softened even more. "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry."

"But Fang Min is a formidable figure. He can do everything and is very mysterious. If I don't take a proactive approach, His Highness the Crown Prince will abandon me sooner or later. Ningning, I know you're worried, but it hasn't been easy for me to get to where I am today."

As usual, Lu Zhufeng complained to Wei Zhaoning about the unpleasant things he encountered.

He didn't say anything particularly important; it was just that the atmosphere was right, and he thought that he and Wei Zhaoning were like before, so he couldn't help but pick out some trivial things to talk about.

This moment truly mirrored a situation from many years ago, but the two people's feelings had long since changed. Lu Zhufeng was reminiscing, while Wei Zhaoning was numb; she had long since lost all feeling for these beautiful memories.

Fortunately, what Lu Zhufeng considered unimportant was a major discovery for Wei Zhaoning.

Therefore, the Crown Prince's extraordinary abilities are Fang Min's abilities, and have nothing to do with the Crown Prince.

Wei Zhaoning said, "Are you starting to belittle yourself again? I've never met that Fang guy you mentioned, but the Crown Prince takes you with him wherever he goes. It's clear that you're highly regarded by the Crown Prince, at least higher than those who can't even be taken along. Instead of worrying about that, you should worry about your health. Only when you're healthy can you accomplish great things."

Lu Zhufeng couldn't tell at all that Wei Zhaoning was trying to get information out of her. This was exactly what Wei Zhaoning meant when she said that it was difficult to get anything out of the Crown Prince, but it was the easiest way to get information out of Lu Zhufeng. She knew this person too well.

He was still projecting himself into that scene from many years ago. He showed a hint of weakness and sighed. He was very strong-willed, although it was only on the surface. In reality, he did nothing. But he had only ever shown his weak side to Wei Zhaoning in his entire life.

"It's not as simple as you think. It's precisely because it's so important that we're unwilling to let him show himself easily. Forget it, why bother telling a woman like you all this? You wouldn't understand anyway. You should just stay home obediently while I work hard to build my career and take good care of you. Don't worry about me. Instead, spend your time worrying about Aze and the others. That's more important than anything else."

Lu Zhufeng really liked this kind of male chauvinism. He believed that women were weak and needed men to protect them. Only through this hierarchical relationship could he realize his own value.

Wei Zhaoning seemed to be deep in thought, and then couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She remembered how sickly thin she was when she died in her previous life.

But it doesn't matter anymore. We already have a lot of information. If we keep trying to get information out of them, even the dumbest person will realize something is wrong.

"Okay, I won't say anything, but you have to promise me you'll take care of yourself. No matter what, I want you to be healthy and well in front of me, and stay with me for the rest of my life."

Lu Zhufeng was very pleased and was all smiles.

Just then, a servant rushed in, shouting, "Something terrible has happened, my lord! Something's wrong!"

"The Xiao family... the eldest son of the Xiao family! Something has happened!"

Lu Zhufeng immediately snapped out of his daze, sprang to his feet, and put on his shirt. "Let's go, we'll talk as we walk!"

He didn't even have time to say anything to Wei Zhaoning, which shows how urgent the matter was.

"Young Master Xiao couldn't be found all night, but today someone found him in an abandoned well in the Xiao residence; his body was frozen stiff!"

The servant and Lu Zhufeng's voices faded into the distance, and Wei Zhaoning watched from behind, her eyes darkening.

Before the people over there had gone far, Wei Zhaoning saw Lu Ze arrive.

"I didn't expect you to actually dare to do it. I have to admire you for it."

Wei Zhaoning straightened his back and did not answer.

Lu Ze continued, "Sometimes I think the power of love is really great. You're capable of doing anything crazy for my brother, tsk tsk tsk."

Wei Zhaoning sneered, "What, you're not satisfied with this result?"

"How could I not be satisfied? You really have impressed me. I'm even thinking of calling you sister-in-law."

"Unfortunately, you don't deserve it. Even if you kill Xiao He, I will never forgive you."

"By the way, my second shop is opening soon. You and your Lord Zhang must come and support us!"

He was referring to Master Zhang, the man who advised him on how to promote spices when he was first reborn.

That was the first big setback he suffered. That bitch Wei Zhaoning actually dared to instruct Master Zhang to embarrass him, causing him to be punished by his elder brother when he returned.

His business is booming. Although he hasn't reached the level he achieved in his previous life, it's a good omen. He not only frequents casinos and is renowned as the King of Gambling, but he has also expanded his business. He wants to show those snobbish people what he has accomplished!

Especially Wei Zhaoning, let her see how successful he becomes without her supervision.

Wei Zhaoning remained expressionless. "Congratulations."

One day, when she passed by Lu Ze's house, she heard him talking to his servant.

"Young master, you really can't gamble anymore! Although the shop's business is getting better and better, you're gambling too much. No matter how much money you make, it's never enough to cover your expenses!"

"Shut up! When did it become your place to lecture me? Go borrow money at exorbitant interest rates, open another one, and make double the money!"

So congratulations, congratulations on getting what you wanted, gambling king.

Lu Zequan assumed Wei Zhaoning was just jealous, gave a smug snort, and swaggered away.

Main courtyard.

Wei Jiaruo's eyes lit up. "Is that really true?"

Hawthorn's eyes sparkled. "Absolutely true, Madam. Haven't those two from the Meng family come to their senses? Why don't you use someone else to do the dirty work? The Marquis has already gone to the Xiao residence because of this matter, so Lord Meng is definitely not here anymore!"

During the days when Lu Zhufeng doted on Wei Zhaoning, Wei Jiaruo would always have this girl named Shanzha eavesdrop, and whatever she heard, she had to tell her in detail.

The things she heard in the past few days were all things that made her angry, like how many times Lu Zhufeng did it in one night, which kept her up at night for several nights.

I never expected to hear such amazing good news today.

Wei Jiaruo couldn't hide her excitement, "Wei Zhaoning is really bold! Quickly help me change my clothes, I'm going to the Meng residence myself."
