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

"Why did you lie to me?" Despair filled Lu Zhufeng's eyes. He couldn't bear to face the fact that his confidante had deceived him!

At the same time, he suddenly dared not look into Wei Zhaoning's eyes; he had wronged her.

"Sister-in-law, how dare you spread such things around?!" Lu Ze's expression immediately changed.

This made the Prime Minister's impression of the Marquis's mansion even worse. In the eyes of outsiders, the people of the Marquis's mansion had no credibility whatsoever. His business would not only not get better, but might also be affected by this incident!

Lu Jieshuang and Lu Jieyue were even more displeased. When a daughter gets married, what she values ​​most is her reputation. They've completely lost face!

When the old lady saw the Prime Minister's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, her head buzzed, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted from anger.

"Mother!"

"Mother! What's wrong?"

"Someone! Take Mother back first!" Lu Jieyue sent two maids to carry the old lady away.

The rest of them stayed there and sided with Wei Zhaoning.

Upon seeing this, Wei Jiaruo's face froze, her hands gripping the handkerchief tightly, and she stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"Drag him away!" Zhang Xiang's face was as cold as ice.

Unwilling to give up, Wei Jiaruo crawled to Zhang Xiang's feet. "Your Excellency, trust me, this will definitely work! If it doesn't, just kill me!"

"Please, please believe me one last time! These aren't ordinary meatballs!"

She reacted quickly and brought the meatball to Madam Tang's mouth.

Enraged, Zhang Xiang slapped her across the face in front of everyone!

"roll!"

Soon, people came and dragged her away, their actions rough and rude.

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhufeng felt conflicted and angry, and at the same time, he truly realized that the Marquis's mansion was in trouble.

Zhang Xiang, who was known for his good temper, actually hit someone in full view of everyone.

This shows just how angry he was.

Everyone else fell silent, not daring to speak.

The room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the atmosphere was eerie.

At this moment, Cen Li shook his head, sighed, walked up to Madam Tang, and took her pulse.

"Your meridians are much clearer now. Rest and take it slow."

"Thank you very much, Dr. Cen."

Mrs. Tang had no interest in those ill-mannered people; she was only grateful that she had survived.

She grasped Wei Zhaoning's hand. "Ningning, thanks to you, if it weren't for the elixir you brought to keep me alive and the search for Physician Cen, I'm afraid my old life would be..."

"Madam Tang, please refrain from saying anything unlucky. This is not my achievement; it is because you, Madam Tang, were not destined to die. The Bodhisattva has seen all your good deeds and accumulated virtues," Wei Zhaoning said.

Lu Ze observed that Zhang Xiang's expression had softened considerably, as if Wei Zhaoning was quite popular with them, so he spoke up.

"Madam Tang, would you like to get up and go to the courtyard to see the flowers? Let me help you."

Lu Jieyue immediately followed up, "Thanks to Zhaoning, we have the opportunity to serve you. Would you like some pastries? I know a couple that I'm good at, or..."

"Madam Tang, would you like to hear me sing? My sister-in-law Zhaoning used to love hearing me sing, and she always praised me for it."

They quickly realized that even if Wei Jiaruo got into trouble, Wei Zhaoning still deserved credit.

Regardless, Wei Zhaoning is the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, and out of respect for her, the Prime Minister will have some goodwill towards them.

Wei Zhaoning sneered, "Lies just come out of your mouth."

Madam Tang looked at the group and said with disgust, "So noisy."

The faces of the group froze instantly, as if they had been slapped several times.

"You all get out too!" Zhang Xiang was clearly still angry.

Judging from today's situation, he could tell that none of the people in the Marquis's mansion were any good.

His attitude toward Wei Zhaoning is also very intriguing.

They probably all favor that woman who lies all the time, and bully Wei Zhaoning.

Lu Zhufeng felt he would never be able to show his face in the capital again. He glanced at the group and whispered, "Can't you understand human language? Get out of here! You disgraceful wretch!"

He chuckled twice and said, "I apologize for my mistake, Your Excellency. Please allow Ningning to stay here and serve me. I will definitely come to apologize in person another day."

He carefully observed Zhang Xiang's expression. Since Wei Zhaoning had made timely amends, it could be considered that he had made amends for his mistake.

Wei Zhaoning watched coldly.

Zhang Xiang's voice was intimidating: "Wait."

"Ningning is Ningning, and the Marquis's Mansion is the Marquis's Mansion."

"I was just praising you for your noble character and your ability to distinguish between public and private matters."

A chill ran down Lu Zhufeng's spine. It seemed the Prime Minister wasn't planning to let him off the hook.

"Dr. Cen is my benefactor. I will not tolerate your wife's insults today."

"Two things—who should be punished, and what standards should be used? I don't need to remind you, do I?"

Lu Zhufeng felt a lump in his throat and gritted his teeth. "Yes... I will definitely keep public and private matters separate and give you a satisfactory explanation."

He pursed his lips slightly, then quickly forced a stiff smile.

Zhang nodded, and he hurriedly fled the scene.

He had never felt so humiliated. How could he ever hold his head high in officialdom again?

Wei Zhaoning only stayed there for a short while before returning to the Marquis's residence.

How could she miss out on such a good show?

*

The Yongxin Marquis's Residence.

"Miss, you're finally back! The Marquis looks terrible. I don't know if he was in too much of a hurry or what, but he tripped and fell flat on his face when he came in." Dongxu couldn't help but laugh.

Wei Zhaoning chuckled, "Make sure you hold it in later."

After saying that, she casually led Dongxu to sit in the main seat.

When Lu Zhufeng saw her, his eyes darted away, and for some reason, he felt very irritated.

Lu Ze and the others knelt on the ground.

Lu Zhufeng returned to his own territory, no longer the submissive man he was at the Prime Minister's residence. In the Marquis's mansion, he was the king.

"Are you all so desperate to climb the social ladder?! You're a disgrace! Discipline them!"

Lu Ze quickly said, "Brother, it was because Wei Jiaruo was so certain that she could cure Madam Tang that we thought of going to show our faces. Otherwise, who would go to the Prime Minister's residence to suffer for no reason?!"

"That's right! She told me with absolute certainty that she cured Madam Tang, and that the Prime Minister would definitely think more highly of our Marquis's family!"

Lu Zhufeng had a headache and impatiently rubbed his temples. Now, just hearing Wei Jiaruo's name annoyed him. Thinking about how she had deceived him and made him lose face, he even felt a bit nauseous.

"Shut up, all of you!"

"You all act like servants in other people's homes, isn't that embarrassing enough?! Beat you!"

The sounds of sticks being struck and wails echoed throughout the Marquis's mansion. Lu Zhufeng watched coldly, without even frowning. This time, he was truly enraged.

"My lord! The Lady Marquis is still unconscious. The royal physician has taken her pulse and says her pregnancy is unstable and her life may be in danger!"

Wei Zhaoning scoffed lightly; it was that same old trick of fainting again.
