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

Everyone present was startled and put down their chopsticks.

Lu Zhufeng looked at Wei Zhaoning with disappointment, "Your sister suffered from hunger and cold for three days at Dali Temple, and she's pregnant! How could you sleep like that?"

Wei Zhaoning frowned and looked at him in surprise.

"In the Marquis's eyes, is even my breathing wrong?"

Lu Zhufeng sneered, "As long as you go to the Dali Temple and put in a good word, I don't believe he still won't release them."

Jiaruo has been frail since childhood, unlike you who are thick-skinned and resilient. Don't you even have this much sympathy?

Wei Zhaoning felt as if her heart was blocked. In her previous life, she had a persistent high fever, and it turned out that he thought she was too thick-skinned to deserve sympathy.

"My lord, I am not the emperor, and the general's mansion is not the royal family. We have no such authority."

Lu Zhufeng's anger intensified: "Lies!"

"I don't want to say much more to you, lest you think I still have feelings for you. Jia Ruo has caught a cold; until she recovers, you will personally take care of her three meals a day!"

"Otherwise, you can write a letter of divorce and come to me."

Wei Zhaoning took a deep breath. Now she really wasn't going to act anymore.

The others watched the spectacle with quiet chuckles.

Wei Jiaruo looked troubled and tugged at Lu Zhufeng's sleeve in a coquettish tone, "How can my sister do such a servant's job, my lord, please let it go."

Lu Zhufeng shouted, "What I say goes!"

"Wei Zhaoning, do you want to sever our relationship?"

A naked threat.

Wei Zhaoning pursed her lips, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Okay."

Only then did Lu Zhufeng give up.

"From now on, remember this well: if you make Jia Ruo unhappy, you are breaking my heart. You know what to do."

After breakfast, Lu Zhufeng went to court. As soon as he left, everyone else stopped pretending and avoided Wei Jiaruo like the plague, which chilled Wei Jiaruo to the bone.

"Aze!" Wei Jiaru called out to Lu Ze.

Lu Ze turned his head impatiently, "What are you trying to do now?"

Wei Jia chuckled twice, "I know that what I did before caused you some losses, and I've already thought of a way to make up for it."

Mentioning this makes Lu Ze angry. His new master has no patience at all. After learning for so long, he still can't even recognize all the spices.

The spice shop's losses grew larger and larger, and Bai Yunxiao drifted further and further away from him.

It will be a very long time before he makes any progress and gets Bai Yunxiao to even glance at him.

When I'm in a bad mood, I gamble, and every time I lose a lot of money.

"What kind of wicked trick are you plotting now?" Lu Ze said bluntly.

Wei Jiaruo said, "How could that be?"

"Have you been gambling these past few days and losing all your money?"

Even a fool could tell that Lu Ze always has a long face; he must be losing money every day.

Lu Ze raised an eyebrow. "How did you know?"

Wei Jiaruo laughed and said, "Your sister-in-law said she cares about you, but you don't believe her."

"What are you trying to say?"

Seeing that he was interested, Wei Jiaruo immediately said, "I haven't been idle at the Dali Temple these past few days. I met a famous person."

"Former gambling king - Ho Mi."

Lu Ze's eyes lit up instantly.

"My sister-in-law thought, when it comes to gambling, you can't just grit your teeth and gamble, because the odds of winning are too small."

Every gambling king has their own techniques when it comes to gambling. If you could learn He Mi's true skills, who could beat you at gambling?

Wei Jiaruo's voice was seductive.

Lu Ze felt that this news had dispelled half of the gloom in his heart.

"But He Mi is already in the Dali Temple, how can we ask him for help?"

He Mi has always been a legendary figure in the gambling world, holding the title of "King of Gambling" for a long time. However, he was arrested a few days ago for some unknown reason.

Wei Jiaruo said, "I know him, I know what he wants, and I can give it to him in exchange for him teaching you gambling skills."

Lu Ze's expression visibly brightened, but he still didn't dare to completely trust Wei Jiaruo.

Wei Jiaruo could see the doubt in his eyes and said sincerely, "Sister-in-law, please apologize to me first."

The reason I lied to you last time was because I had ulterior motives. In the end, I was just afraid that you would all go to my sister for help and then you wouldn't need me anymore, so I made that boast.

It was my fault for overestimating my abilities; I was just afraid you'd all abandon me.

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Lu Ze's heart softened a bit as he watched. In the end, if Wei Zhaoning hadn't been so domineering, causing his sister-in-law to live in constant fear, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Alright, alright, sister-in-law, don't cry. I believe you. Don't worry, I won't let Wei Zhaoning have an easy time in the future, and I won't let her bully you again."

Lu Ze coaxed her gently for a long time before she finally stopped crying.

"Aze, give me a few days. Once I've recovered from my cold, I'll arrange everything and take you to see He Mi."

Lu Ze laughed and said, "I knew my sister-in-law was the best to me!"

Therefore, to show his loyalty, Lu Ze made a special trip to Wei Zhaoning's courtyard.

She vented her anger on Wei Zhaoning, making it known to everyone in the manor.

"Miss, the letter you asked me to give to Eunuch Li last time was also intercepted. Eunuch Li swore that he had definitely put it in the Emperor's memorial, but the Emperor still hasn't made any statement."

Winter Floss Report.

Wei Zhaoning was in a bind; even the chief eunuch, who was closest to the emperor, couldn't get the news to him.

All the roads were blocked. Shen Shu wrote to ask about the progress every day. This couldn't go on.

She had to go to the palace herself.

"Prepare the horses, let's go to the palace."

The night was quiet.

Wei Zhaoning felt stifled and uneasy inside the carriage.

Although having her cousin personally tell the Emperor about this matter would be more convincing than having her do it herself, the repeated interceptions gave her an ominous feeling.

The regent would never allow anyone to reach the emperor's ears with the news.

She was worried that something might happen to her cousin if she sent him.

The Regent won't touch her now, so it's most appropriate for her to go.

Suddenly, a sharp "whoosh" broke the silence.

Before anyone could react, the horse pulling the cart let out a mournful neigh, raised its front hooves high, and collapsed to the ground with a thud, blood gushing out and instantly staining the wheels red.

The carriage suddenly tilted forward, and Wei Zhaoning was caught off guard and crashed into the carriage wall.

"Protect Lady Hou!" The sound of clashing weapons rang out from outside the carriage.

When Wei Zhaoning came out, he was accompanied by two squads of personal guards.

"Wei Zhaoning, you really aren't afraid of death." A voice rang out from outside the carriage.

"My master said that if you block his way again, you will die."

With that, the long sword embedded itself in the carriage, piercing Wei Zhaoning's arm. A large gash appeared on her delicate skin, and blood gushed out, staining her moon-white clothes red.

Wei Zhaoning felt pain, her breathing became rapid, her back felt cold, and the pain in her arm spread throughout her body, tearing her apart.

Before she could react, the man outside the carriage pulled out his knife again and stabbed it in another direction!

Wei Zhaoning never expected that the Regent would even try to kill her.
