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

To their surprise, a few days later, someone came to their door.

Lu Zhufeng was shocked when he saw those two faces.

"Ah Shuang...you...you're not dead?!"

Lu Jieshuang shed her human skin and faced her family with her true self.

Lu Jieyue said, "She is Qingque."

Lu Zhufeng was startled.

Lu Ze asked, "Sister...aren't you at the Meng residence? What's wrong...?"

Lu Jieyue lowered her head and gave a bitter laugh. "Meng Yun disliked that I no longer had a status and was not the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, so he threw me and Ashuang outside to fend for ourselves."

"Zhu Feng, you sold the ancestral home."

Lu Ze tried to smooth things over, saying, "Actually, it's all my fault. My brother sold the ancestral home because of me."

Lu Jieyue and Lu Jieshuang exchanged a glance, then she calmly said, "I don't blame anyone. Everyone is alright, and that's enough."

Lu Zhufeng said, "This room is cramped enough. I'll go cook, and we can all have a proper meal later."

The atmosphere in the room was extremely cold; the people had once hated each other intensely and wished each other to go to hell.

Everyone carries too many things in their heart, and hatred has long been smoothed out by life.

It seems they're just sticking together for warmth; no one has the right to dwell on the past.

When Lu Zhufeng brought out several bowls of wild vegetable porridge, the two sisters' eyes instantly welled up with tears.

How could the once majestic Marquis Yongxin's mansion have fallen into such a state of disrepair?

If Wei Zhaoning were still alive...

No one can forget the glory of their past life; it was the pinnacle of their existence. Once they've experienced it, falling to this state will only cause them a hundred times more pain and sorrow than ordinary people.

If someone is used to hardship, it's not hard for them to accept a little more hardship. But if someone has tasted the sweetest fruit in the world, it's hard for them to accept hardship again. Few people can accept that.

Lu Ze took a big sip of porridge, then put down his chopsticks.

"If my sister-in-law were still alive, our lives wouldn't have turned out like this."

As he spoke, his throat tightened. These were words he had always refused to accept, and now that he had said them, he felt nothing but deep regret.

Lu Zhufeng lost his appetite. His face was gloomy as he looked at the tattered cloth shoes on his feet. He had to admit that he couldn't help but miss Wei Zhaoning.

He was badly hit by reality and now he lives by fantasy. Even when he was cooking porridge just now, he was fantasizing that Wei Zhaoning had just gone out for a while and would be back soon, just like when she returned to the Marquis's mansion last time.

Only by deceiving himself like this can he feel better, fall asleep, and live a normal life.

Sometimes, when you brainwash yourself too much, you can't even distinguish between reality and fantasy anymore.

Lu Ze's words abruptly pulled him back to reality, forcing him to accept the fact that Wei Zhaoning would not be coming back, and he instantly lost his appetite.

My heart was throbbing with pain, I felt like I was about to collapse, and my face was full of worry, as if I had aged several years.

Lu Jieshuang said, "My sister-in-law is so good to us, yet we..."

Lu Jieshuang couldn't help but cry.

She couldn't forget her past life, where Chen Huai treated her like a treasure. Not only was she unharmed, but she also had someone to take care of her every day.

Looking at her now, I'm afraid she'll never get married in her lifetime.

Lu Jieyue was no different. She experienced a failed and unforgettable marriage, which made it difficult for her to muster the courage to enter into another relationship for the rest of her life.

Unfortunately, she is now covered in injuries and probably won't live for more than a few years.

She didn't get a second chance.

After taking everything lightly, the pent-up feeling in my heart was that I owed Wei Zhaoning a debt of gratitude, a debt of gratitude to the person who devoted herself wholeheartedly to the Marquis's mansion and gave her life for it.

She didn't want to see Wei Zhaoning utterly disappointed in them and choose to marry someone else. She wanted Wei Zhaoning to come back so she could make up for the debt she owed Wei Zhaoning in the previous life.

"Wind Chaser, is there really no chance?"

She asked again, unwilling to give up.

Lu Zhufeng, like a living dead man, said, "Let's eat."

Lu Jieyue said, "Zhufeng, don't run away. Ningning sacrificed so much in her past life, which is enough to prove how much you mean to her. I don't believe she can forget her feelings for you so easily. You made a mistake later, but for so many years before that, the feelings between you were real, and no one can replace them."

Lu Zhufeng paused with his chopsticks. "But she made it very clear."

Lu Jieyue persisted, "Think about what you did after she returned to the Marquis's mansion. Were you truly sincere? What if you had shown her your sincerity?"

These words were a revelation to everyone.

In reality, everyone just felt regret, but there was no real action taken. Even the apologies were only given once, without any sincerity. So why should Wei Zhaoning be allowed to come back?

"Sister, are you saying that it's really possible for my sister-in-law to come back to us?" Lu Ze asked excitedly.

If my sister-in-law really comes back, the Marquis's mansion will surely recover.

Lu Jieyue nodded, "I know all too well how to rekindle a woman's dead heart."

That's just how she is.

She was utterly disappointed in Meng Yun countless times, only to rekindle her feelings because Meng Yun's sincerity touched her when he was lucid.

There is nothing a naked heart cannot move.

Lu Zhufeng's eyes were red. In fact, he didn't know how much longer he could live. Every day after losing Wei Zhaoning, he could feel his life withering and passing away.

It wasn't that he was sick, but that his heart was dead, he had no desire to live, and he wouldn't live long. He was determined to hold on until the very end. If he could be reborn after he died, he would definitely hold onto Wei Zhaoning tightly.

"Zhu Feng, your relationship with Ning Ning is irreplaceable. Your seven years together are a forbidden zone that the Regent can never enter. If she is indifferent to you, it must be because you have crossed her bottom line time and time again. If you are sincere, she may not have gone to such lengths."

You should be able to understand how deep her feelings for you are. In your past life, you abandoned her to be a widow alone. Every day, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she would stay in front of your memorial tablet for a long time, talking to you. Later, she rallied for the sake of the Marquis's mansion, single-handedly supporting all of us and helping the mansion overcome crisis after crisis. Do you really think someone who has reached this low level is as hard-hearted as stone and invulnerable?

Lu Zhufeng felt his heart was bleeding. Recalling the scenes of Wei Zhaoning's struggles in his previous life, he slapped himself hard across the face.

How could I be so blind, mistaking a fish eye for a pearl, and letting such a good Wei Zhaoning go?

How could he be so despicable! He can't see all the good things Wei Zhaoning has done!

"Sister, I'm willing to do anything as long as she can come back."
