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

"I have a surprise for your master. Go back and remind His Highness the Crown Prince. Now, get out of here and never show your face again, or I have a way to make sure you can't stay in the capital."

Wei Zhaoning revealed a smile that could be described as wicked. Looking at Lu Zhufeng's bewildered appearance, she suddenly felt a surge of pleasure.

She wasn't a saint; seeing the person who had once taken her sincerity and fed it to dogs in such an embarrassing state now made her feel genuinely satisfied.

Lu Zhufeng stood there, completely forgetting how to walk; his body was stiff and he couldn't move.

He swallowed hard, his throat feeling sore, and frowned as he asked, "What do you mean?"

Wei Zhaoning laughed and said, "Literally, you can get lost."

Lu Zhufeng suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe. All these things made him feel like a fool who had made a huge mistake.

Wei Zhaoning didn't come back because she still had feelings for him and wanted to reconcile!

In his memory, Wei Zhaoning would never say such cold words even when she was angry, let alone be so fierce and unapproachable as she is now.

Actually, he didn't hear much of what Wei Zhaoning said about the Crown Prince later. He only felt short of breath. Wei Zhaoning's blunt words made his heart burn with pain, and he was both afraid and in pain.

Finally, he forced a smile. "Stop joking. I know I haven't spent enough time with you lately, and I haven't taken good care of your feelings. All you want is status, right? You, you go back, and I'll immediately elevate your status. You won't be a concubine anymore, you'll be a secondary wife, okay? Just like before, you and Jia Ruo will have the same status, you won't interfere with each other, you'll both be the mistress of the Marquis's mansion. Stop making trouble, okay?"

He said this as if he were comforting himself.

"That's enough!"

Wei Zhaoning had been holding back for a long time, and at this moment she finally erupted. The resentment from her past life and the forbearance in this life, all the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart, poured out like a flood.

"Snap—"

Wei Zhaoning slapped Lu Zhufeng across the face with all her might. The strong gust of wind from the slap made Lu Zhufeng lose his balance and almost fall to the ground.

Lu Zhufeng's ears rang from the slap. He stared wide-eyed at Wei Zhaoning, unable to comprehend her actions.

Wei Zhaoning never lays a hand on anyone, and she usually looks gentle and weak. Where did she get such strength to dare hit him?!

Wei Zhaoning felt a burning sensation in her palm, but the slap made her feel good, and she didn't care how much it hurt.

"What kind of person do you think you are? Degrading your wife to a concubine and taking a second wife, treating women as gossip fodder, you are truly the most tasteless person I have ever met. Just looking at you makes me feel so disgusted that I feel like throwing up my dinner from last night. If there is no mirror in your house, there will always be urine. Take a good look in the mirror and see what kind of person you are! I have nothing to do with you anymore. Please don't bother me again in the future."

"Have some self-respect and get lost."

Lu Zhufeng didn't even know how he got back to the Marquis's mansion. He was completely lost, ignoring everyone who called him. When he returned to the mansion, he went to the side courtyard where Wei Zhaoning used to live. He sat alone in the dark, staring blankly at the place where Wei Zhaoning used to sit and do her hair.

No matter who comes or how much they say, they will not respond when called.

"My lord! My lord, what's wrong! Where is Wei Zhaoning? I'm not saying anything, but my sister is so ill-mannered! Although I'm the youngest, I'm still the mistress of the Marquis's mansion. How could she run off without a word and not come home all night?"

Upon hearing that the Marquis had returned, Wei Jiaruo had already found fault with Wei Zhaoning and came to complain.

Who knows what's wrong with Lu Zhufeng right now? He's like he's seen a ghost. Is he deaf or something? He didn't reply to a single word we'd said the whole way. He just stared blankly at one spot. Is something wrong with his head?

After thinking it over, Wei Jiaruo felt that it couldn't be a problem with his brain. He had been working non-stop with the Crown Prince these past few days, so he must have done something wrong and been reprimanded by the Crown Prince. He was very concerned about his reputation, so he must have felt that he had lost his dignity after being yelled at, and he hadn't recovered yet.

But this is just right. Since he has a lot of anger to vent, let's find him a place to let it out.

A smug glint flashed in Wei Jiaruo's eyes. "My lord, are you even listening to me? You're always out there running around, while Wei Zhaoning isn't behaving herself at home, she's causing trouble everywhere. I wonder if she even cares about you..."

"ah--"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhufeng grabbed a teapot from the table and splashed it onto Wei Jiaruo's body.

Wei Jiaruo screamed in surprise when she was splashed. Luckily, the teapot didn't contain hot tea, or she would have been covered in blisters.

Her clothes were soaked through, the cold tea seeping into the fabric and touching her skin. The cold wind blew in, making Wei Jiaru feel both damp and uncomfortable.

"Get out of here! Don't ever hang around me again. What do you do all day besides being jealous? You ignorant and foolish woman! Get out!"

Wei Jiaruo was startled. She didn't know what she had done wrong to be scolded so harshly for no reason. Her eyes darkened, but she didn't dare to say anything and only replied, "Yes."

He then retreated, his chest heaving violently, but he could only vent his anger on some unfortunate servant once he was far away.

Lu Zhufeng sat up all night until dawn, without feeling sleepy at all.

He couldn't figure it out.

Does Wei Zhaoning really not love him anymore?

How could she be so heartless? Their relationship was so deep, how could she leave so decisively? How could she bear to fool him with those random pills? How could she do that!

Before he could even process the news, the Crown Prince flew into a rage and demanded that he get over there immediately.

When the Crown Prince learned of Xiao He's resurrection, he flew into a rage and lost all composure; he was visibly panicked.

"Useless trash! You're more trouble than you're worth! Didn't you say you had Wei Zhaoning completely under your control? You're actually cheating and swindling right under your nose! I really want to kill you, you piece of trash!"

Lu Zhufeng was shocked, but he was so depressed that he could barely beg for mercy.

"Your Highness, spare my life..."

Seeing his listless appearance, the crown prince became even angrier and kicked him hard.

Fang Min's face was also gloomy; this matter had a significant impact on them.

"What do we do now? Didn't you say only you had this ability? How did Wei Zhaoning know how to bring the dead back to life?"

The crown prince asked anxiously.

Fang Min was equally flustered. "Your Highness should know that once such a heaven-defying thing happens, there will be a second one. The worst thing is that the other party's strength is even greater than ours."

After all, even he couldn't come back to life.
