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

The Yongxin Marquis's Residence.

When Wei Jiaruo heard that Lu Zhufeng had sent Wei Zhaoning to a house in the suburbs, she was overjoyed. With her biggest threat gone, she even found Liu Xiang more agreeable. So today, she didn't avoid talking to Liu Xiang. Judging from Liu Xiang's appearance, she seemed honest and probably hadn't colluded with Wei Zhaoning.

While massaging her shoulders, Shanzha asked, "Madam, judging from the Marquis's demeanor, it's as if he can't bear to see that slut Wei Zhaoning die, and he's even going so far as to keep her in a golden house."

Wei Jiaruo didn't care at all and laughed, "What do you know? How long do you think Wei Zhaoning could stay there? The Xiao family values ​​their eldest son so much, and even the imperial court values ​​him. Wei Zhaoning was the one who killed him, do you think she could escape?"

Hawthorn flattered, "Madam is wise. It's just that she got off easy. She's been given a few days of peace. There's still no evidence, so she's been able to get away with it. Young Master Xiao is such a good person. How could he be framed to such an extent by such a vicious person?"

"To be honest with you, Madam, when I first arrived at the Marquis's residence, I disliked her at first sight. She didn't seem like a good person to me. Madam is much better; you are beautiful and kind-hearted, and would never do something as heinous as murder and arson."

Wei Jiaruo paused for a moment, then quickly laughed again, "Let her hide. She's like a grasshopper in autumn, she won't be able to jump for long. Does she really think the royal family is a bunch of pushovers, that no one can touch her General's Mansion?"

"Oh, right, send someone to inform those two from the Meng family to wait for now and not to alert them. I'll make the arrangements," Wei Jiaruo said casually, twisting the imperial green ring on her wrist.

Hawthorn's eyes darted around. "Madam, are you really planning to help those two accomplices?"

Wei Jiaru sneered and said nothing more.

Liu Xiang became increasingly alarmed as she listened. She couldn't believe that someone as kind as Wei Zhaoning would do such a thing. She had to inform Wei Zhaoning and tell him everything Wei Jiaruo was thinking.

Meng House.

When the Lu sisters received Wei Jiaruo's message, their hearts sank.

Is Wei Jiaruo going to back out?

"Sister." Lu Jieshuang frowned.

"I also have a bad feeling, but Wei Jiaruo promised. Considering how much we protected her in the past, or even in our previous life, she shouldn't abandon us. She's not as heartless as Wei Zhaoning." Lu Jieyue said, but her hands, which were holding the handkerchief, trembled.

The two sisters had been waiting for this day for a long time; it was their last hope.

Lu Jieshuang forced herself to calm down. "Yes, yes, she wouldn't be that heartless. Didn't the old nanny who just came say that we should pack our things quickly and be ready at any time? She will come to pick us up when things settle down."

"Quick, sister, let's pack our things."

"Wait!" Lu Jieyue suddenly sensed a hidden meaning in the words.

"What the old woman said, that everything has settled down. Does that mean Wei Zhaoning hasn't been arrested yet? Does 'everything has settled down' mean that once Wei Zhaoning is convicted and killed, Wei Jiaruo will arrange for us to leave?"

Lu Jieshuang suddenly realized, "That must be it. What Wei Jiaruo wants most is for Wei Zhaoning to die, right? Wouldn't it be better if she were dead? Why bother looking for evidence? Sister, she treated us like that..."

Lu Jieyue understood what Lu Jieshuang meant. She hesitated for a moment, then her eyes suddenly turned icy cold. "That's what she brought on herself. Who told her to be so hard-hearted and cold?"

"Isn't our life like this her fault? You're right, as long as we kill her, she deserves to die anyway. The Xiao family is just struggling to catch Wei Zhaoning because they don't have any evidence. If she's killed, no one will bother to investigate."

"The Regent has fallen for someone else, and Lu Zhufeng isn't exactly a man of deep affection and righteousness. As long as we keep things discreet, no one will find out, and no one will investigate."

The two girls' expressions grew increasingly frenzied, like bloodthirsty beasts in the darkness, their scarlet tongues licking their lips. The two young girls looked like vengeful ghosts in red, wrongly accused for decades.

All the guilt and sin in his heart vanished, leaving only the desire to escape from the Meng family mansion.

It's not that they can't run away; in fact, they have many opportunities to run away. But no matter where they run, Meng Yun will find them, and what awaits them is even more brutal domestic violence.

They were truly at their wits' end. Meng Yun was like a demon from hell, a vengeful spirit. He seemed to know everything, see everything, and pinpoint their location. They would never escape his grasp in this lifetime, unless they died.

But Wei Jiaruo said that she had a better relationship with the Crown Prince and that she could persuade him.

No matter how powerful Meng Yun is, he is just a subject and cannot surpass the Crown Prince. He himself is only His Highness the Crown Prince's subordinate. If Wei Jia can get the Crown Prince to protect them, Meng Yun will no longer be able to harm them! Even if they stand openly in front of Meng Yun, they will not be in any danger.

"Every man for himself." They were forced into this situation. What's wrong with fighting for a better life? Shouldn't they?

You forced us into this mess, Wei Zhaoning! Who told you to stand by and watch us die? Who told you to single-handedly bring us to this miserable state? You're probably still laughing to yourself, aren't you? Your happiness is built on the suffering of others, so you deserve to die. You are the most vicious person.

It's been two lifetimes, and it's all because of you that we owe each other, and it's all because of you that we've been harmed.

It's time to put an end to this.

Upon learning that Wei Zhaoning had been hidden by Lu Zhufeng in a suburban house, the two men made up their minds, prepared their weapons, and headed to the suburban house.

After several days of feeling down, Wei Zhaoning finally recovered a little.

She went outside, and the glaring light made it hard for her to open her eyes. It took her a while to adjust before she could fully open them and see the scenery outside.

The outside was covered in white snow. The snow had just stopped, and as soon as I stepped outside, the tip of my nose turned bright red from the cold.

"Miss! Why don't you put on a coat? It looks like it's going to snow heavily again soon. What if you catch a cold?"

As soon as Dongxu saw Wei Zhaoning come out, she hurriedly went inside to get her fox fur coat.

Wei Zhaoning stared blankly at the heavy pile of snow weighing down the plum branches.

She didn't come to her senses until the weight of the fox fur pressed down on her shoulders.

"Dongxu, what day is it today?"

"Miss, today is December 13th."

Wei Zhaoning has been living in a daze these past few days, so it's no wonder she can't remember the days. Today's reaction is one of the rare times she's been rational.

"Oh." Wei Zhaoning exhaled a puff of white breath.

"You're thirteen."

"Help me change my clothes, it's almost time."
