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

Upon hearing these words, Lu Jieyue slapped Lu Zhufeng hard across the face.

The slap was delivered with full force, so hard that her hand went numb.

She roared, "Do you even know what you're saying! Have you forgotten what you've done? Or do you have no idea what you did in your past life to make Wei Zhaoning so heartless? Now, where do you get the nerve to criticize her and try to ruin her happiness!"

Lu Zhufeng stopped breathing, his head buzzing.

What does that mean? What past life?

What is Lu Jieyue saying? Has Meng Yun damaged her brain?

A terrifying voice came from the depths of his heart, and he suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Stop talking, stop talking, I told you to stop!"

He couldn't believe it, nor could he admit it; what past life? It was just a nightmare.

He did not wrong Wei Zhaoning in any way!

Lu Jieyue understood immediately. She said, "You remember now, right?"

Lu Zhufeng said in horror, "Remember what? I don't understand. Stop talking. I have not wronged Wei Zhaoning in any way. If you want to say it's because of Wei Jiaruo, then it's because Wei Zhaoning herself is being unreasonable. She has no manners at all. What I did was normal. Anyone can tolerate it. Why can't she tolerate it?"

Now that she's done something like this, why shouldn't I have the right to blame her? Am I wrong? Shouldn't I make her wish she were dead? And that regent, he looks so respectable and righteous, but he's just a secondhand victim. He thinks he's found some treasure, but he's still eating other people's leftovers. How disgusting! I'm going to make both of them wish they were dead!

Lu Zhufeng became more and more excited as he spoke, his face turning red and his voice growing louder and louder.

The things he didn't want to admit, the things he was afraid to admit, all turned into accusations against Wei Zhaoning and the Regent.

Seeing his expression, Lu Jieyue calmed down. She shook her head and waited for Lu Zhufeng to vent his emotions.

Lu Zhufeng cursed for a long time until his voice was hoarse before he finally stopped. In the end, he looked at Lu Jieyue with red eyes.

"Aren't you leaving yet? Do you want me to go tell Meng Yun and have him come and invite you?"

He couldn't take it anymore; cursing was no longer enough to hide the fear buried deep in his heart.

Lu Jieyue simply said calmly, "You know I can never escape again."

She sat down and continued, "You know, don't you?"

"Ah Shuang and I both know about our past lives, about that fire, the fire that we all started ourselves."

Lu Zhufeng's eyes widened.

"We all killed Wei Zhaoning with our own hands; we repaid kindness with enmity. You see, this is the final fate of all of us."

Lu Zhufeng was speechless; his throat was dry.

He not only saw it, but he felt as if he had experienced it firsthand.

Did that really happen?

Lu Jieyue married the count and became the countess, living a good life. Lu Jieshuang was not dead at all and was doing well. As for Lu Ze, he was no longer busy with his business. He had long since become a wealthy man, and his business was thriving. He was a prominent figure in the capital.

Lu Jieyue's voice continued, "You see? We all have bright futures, all thanks to Wei Zhaoning. She made us all cut our losses in time. But what have we done?"

Lu Zhufeng broke down. He stopped yelling and cursing, his eyes suddenly filled with complex emotions, unfathomable. He remained quiet and didn't say a word.

When you truly break down, you don't have the strength to scream. Instead, you are calm. Although you may appear calm, only the person in question knows what has collapsed inside them. From then on, they will become fragmented and incomplete, never to be pieced back together again.

Everything collapsed; his heart and flesh were shattered into pieces. He couldn't even feel that he was still alive and breathing.

Lu Jieyue continued, "You know what you've done. Wei Zhaoning has been more than kind to you, to the Marquis's mansion, and to all of us. Still won't admit it? Do you want to do something you'll regret? Do you really have any shame?"

As Lu Jieyue spoke these words, it was as if she was talking to herself. In her heart, she was also accusing herself again and again, wondering where she got the nerve to harm Wei Zhaoning for her own selfish reasons.

What qualifications does she have?!

Lu Zhufeng sat there without saying a word, his eyes slowly becoming misty.

He didn't know when Lu Jieyue left in the end. At this moment, he could no longer see anyone else, and his whole body felt empty.

He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Wei Zhaoning had knelt down before someone to beg for his life.

At that time, her eyes were so clean and pure. A person who valued dignity so much, at that time, only had concern for his injuries in her eyes, and she knelt down without hesitation.

And then there's her, who every year tries different ways to get him to go to the Water Music Festival with her, because she gets angry when he doesn't peel crabs for her.

There was also her, who never lifted a finger but painstakingly researched rock sugar pear soup, just to help his voice.

All those fragmented images shattered completely in Lu Zhufeng's heart, beyond repair.

He suddenly remembered what Lu Jieyue had said before she left: "After she returned to the Marquis's mansion, how did you treat her?"

Lu Zhufeng felt that his heart had been shattered into pieces.

What did he do?

What did he do after Wei Zhaoning returned? He actually suggested that Wei Zhaoning become a concubine without any title or status?!

He knelt down with a thud, covered his face with his hands, and was filled with remorse.

What exactly did he do?!

There are many other things, such as him slapping Wei Zhaoning for no reason because of Wei Jiaruo, slandering Wei Zhaoning without distinguishing right from wrong, and so on. There are many other things that he himself can't even remember.

He was wrong, really wrong, utterly wrong, ridiculously wrong!

Wei Zhaoning must still remember everything, remember what he did in his previous life.

She remembered how he had wronged her in their past life. He faked his death and eloped for his own love. While he was living a carefree life outside, Wei Zhaoning managed the entire household for him in the Marquis's mansion, handling everyone's affairs in an orderly manner. For his seemingly insignificant promise, she devoted her entire life to this family.

He dared not think any further. The only thing he was clear about was that Wei Zhaoning, who had once been completely devoted to him, had died in the fire that he had personally orchestrated.

That affection, along with Wei Zhaoning's loss of virginity, was burned to ashes in that fire.
