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

A maid and a servant rushed in and bowed respectfully to everyone present.

The maid ran to Wei Zhaoning and knelt down. "Madam, I am useless. Master Tang said he will not change his mind."

Everyone present was stunned by these words.

What does that mean?

Lu Ze remembered the good news Wei Zhaoning had told him before, and hurriedly asked the attendant he had sent to accompany him, "What did he say?"

Wei Jiaruo's face turned pale instantly.

The servant boy hesitated, glancing at Wei Jiaruo every now and then.

"I told you to speak! Didn't you hear me?" Lu Ze was on the verge of exploding in anger.

The servant's voice trembled: "Young master, Master Tang said... the Lady Hou is morally flawed, she's trying to steal her own sister's husband, he won't help such a person."

Everyone knows who this Lady Hou is referring to.

The servant then looked at Wei Zhaoning, "That girl asked Master Tang to let it go for the sake of another Lady Hou, but Master Tang still wouldn't budge."

The lobby was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Wei Jiaruo's upturned lips drooped, and her smile vanished instantly.

"What are you saying?! Ah Ze, you need to discipline your servants properly. How can they spout such nonsense! I've been traveling around town and country for days with my big belly to find Master Tang. Could I have made a mistake?!"

She was very emotional, and large tears kept rolling down her cheeks, making her look truly pitiful.

Lu Zhufeng was speechless for a moment, while Lu Ze frowned and clenched his fists. It was possible that other people would betray him and spread rumors, but the servant he sent was his confidant, who had grown up with him since childhood, and would never swear a word in favor of Wei Zhaoning.

"Sister-in-law, I've treated you so well, and this is how you repay me?"

His tone was tinged with anger, but he was still restraining himself.

Wei Jiaruo paused for a moment, then cried, "Aze, I didn't know it would turn out like this. It's all my fault."

Lu Zhufeng couldn't bear to see Wei Jiaruo cry and wanted to comfort her, but before he could touch her, he heard Wei Zhaoning sneer: "My lord, you just said that I made a mess of the Marquis's mansion and that I deliberately caused trouble. What about now?"

"Wei Jiaruo just said it so confidently, and now it seems she's been treating you two like pigs. Shouldn't there be some punishment?"

Lu Zhufeng remained silent.

After a long while, he told Wei Zhaoning with a hint of apology and guilt, "Ningning, I didn't understand the whole story just now, which is why I said so many hurtful things."

Don't take it seriously, don't take it to heart. I was just saying that, I never really thought about divorcing my wife. You know me, I have a sharp tongue but a soft heart..."

Wei Zhaoning remained expressionless. "So?"

He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, the situation is already irreversible, and it would be pointless for us to try to find out who is at fault."

It's normal for Jiaruo to overthink during her pregnancy and sometimes act in extreme ways. We're family, so we should be more understanding.

Everyone makes mistakes. Give her a chance; she's not the type to refuse to correct her mistakes, is she?

If it was Wei Zhaoning who did it, then he should divorce his wife; if it was Wei Jiaruo who did it, then it is a great virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them.

Wei Zhaoning had long been used to it, and his favoritism no longer caused her any harm.

Before she could even speak, Lu Ze lost his temper, slamming his hand on the table, splashing tea everywhere.

"Brother, aren't you just ignoring me as your younger brother?"

"Wei Jiaruo clearly didn't know where Master Tang's address was, but she still lied to me, causing my shop to be delayed for so long. Who will pay for the losses? Hmm?"

I finally found a teacher, but because of her improper behavior, Master Tang is unwilling to teach me. I want to learn perfumery properly, but I don't know where to start. Who should compensate me for this?

Can these losses be made up with a simple "pregnancy is a time for overthinking" and "admitting mistakes and correcting them"?

These are all secondary. The most important thing is that, despite the delay of so many days, Bai Yunxiao has never come to see him once and has been avoiding him!

He had nightmares every day, dreaming that Bai Yunxiao didn't want him anymore.

It must be that what happened before made Bai Yunxiao somewhat disrespectful to him. As long as he makes amends and Bai Yunxiao sees that he is improving and growing, he will definitely see him again.

But Wei Jiaruo was like a troublemaker, making him unable to eat or sleep!

Wei Zhaoning curled her lips in the shadows. She couldn't stop Lu Zhufeng from punishing Wei Jiaruo, but Lu Ze might be able to.

Wei Jiaruo seemed to be frightened by Lu Ze, and shrank into Lu Zhufeng's arms like a pitiful kitten, making people want to protect her.

Lu Zhufeng was in a dilemma, but Lu Ze's words made him more aware of his situation.

These losses are indeed real. He has spoiled his younger brother since he was a child and doesn't want to see him so troubled.

"In that case, I'll make up for the losses, and I'll personally find you a reliable perfumer to teach you slowly, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze became even angrier. Was this the point? The child died and you suddenly remembered to breastfeed?

Everything else was trivial; his anger stemmed more from the fact that Bai Yunxiao was drifting further and further away from him during the time that had been wasted.

"People who do wrong things are not punished. Brother, is it true that no matter how much I suffer, you don't care as long as she beckons with her finger?"

"In that case, I will not be an eyesore in this mansion, lest I disturb your enjoyment."

Lu Zhufeng pulled his hand out of Wei Jiaruo's arms. He was caught in a dilemma, and his face was grim.

Aze has been a stubborn mule since he was a child. Once he sets his mind on something, he won't give up easily. If he doesn't get an explanation today, he probably won't let it go.

Furthermore, Aze is unmarried, and separating the family now would only make outsiders laugh and think that the Marquis's mansion has no manners.

Wei Jiaruo could see his predicament. She dug her fingertips into her palm and made a quick decision. She cried even louder, her face covered in tears.

"My lord, please don't make Aze sad because of me. Although I have injured my leg and am pregnant, it's alright. This matter was originally my fault, causing Aze to suffer so much. As his sister-in-law, I feel very guilty."

"Punish me as you please, as long as it appeases Aze's anger, you can punish me however you like."

Lu Ze could easily see through her tricks. "If you really want to be punished, then stop talking so much nonsense. Who are you crying for?"

"Brother, you must decide what to do quickly; I really can't afford to delay any longer."

Wei Jiaruo was furious and gave Lu Ze a sinister look.

Just because one thing wasn't done, this brother-in-law is turning his back on him?

That's really great!

Lu Zhufeng pursed his lips, his eyes filled with confusion and entanglement. He kept looking around, as if searching for an answer to his problem, but he never found one.

His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and his tongue swirled around in his mouth several times.
