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

When Lu Zhufeng arrived at Wei Zhaoning's cell, still seething with anger, he found Wei Zhaoning lying quietly on a pile of straw, seemingly asleep.

Lu Zhufeng frowned in confusion, while Wei Jiaru was shocked. Where was He Mi?!

It's all over, and they've hidden it away?

The cell was filled with the smell of blood. Wei Jiaruo immediately went to check and found that Wei Zhaoning's clothes were intact.

Her makeup and hair were also meticulous.

She gritted her teeth. How could this happen!

"presumptuous!"

"Who allowed you to come in?"

A dignified male voice came from behind, carrying a sense of oppression that made one break out in a cold sweat.

Pei Yi walked against the light, his features obscured by shadows, making him both mysterious and dangerous.

Lu Zhufeng and Wei Jiaruo turned pale and hurriedly bowed.

"No one is allowed to enter the place where serious criminals are held before interrogation. Marquis Yongxin, are you unaware of the rules?"

Lu Zhufeng softened his attitude, his tone becoming somewhat ingratiating, "Your Highness, I truly miss my wife dearly and wish to come see her..."

Upon hearing the word "wife," Pei Yi scoffed, gave him a cool glance, and curled his lips in disdain.

"Alright, since you're so eager, why don't you stay here and keep me company?"

Lu Zhufeng's eyes widened. "Your...Your Highness, this humble official merely..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Yi said, "Guards, take Marquis Yongxin away and treat him well."

Lu Zhufeng was taken aback. "Your Highness, I've only come to visit my wife. I haven't done anything wrong, have I? Aren't you disregarding the law?"

Pei Yi asked casually, "The law?"

"I am the law."

Wei Jiaruo was so frightened that she dared not breathe. She could only watch timidly as Lu Zhufeng was dragged away. She glanced at Pei Yi and moved her body back almost imperceptibly.

"Separate the switches," Pei Yi said coldly.

"Yes!" Yun Ce stepped forward. "Madam Wei, please?"

Pei Yi walked towards the cell, looked at the sleeping Wei Zhaoning, and gently stroked her cheek.

He picked the person up horizontally and slowly walked out of the cell.

The Marquis's mansion was devastated. When the old lady heard that Lu Zhufeng had been imprisoned by the Regent, she fainted from anger.

All of his children came to his bedside to serve him.

Lu Jieyue and Lu Jieshuang were both worried. Lu Zhufeng was the pillar of the Marquis's mansion. If something happened to him, their marriages might be in trouble!

Lu Jieyue had already finished cutting out her wedding dress, but Meng Yun kept putting it off. She was already feeling uneasy, and now that Lu Zhufeng had an accident, her wedding was likely to be disrupted again!

Lu Ze was even more furious. When he heard the news, he was already blinded by gambling and was forced to return from the gambling table to take care of the sick.

The old lady was dizzy for a long time, and was woken up by coughing.

"Zhu Feng, my son... how could you have gone in like this!"

Lu Jieyue said, "It's that troublemaker Wei Zhaoning. Of all things to do, she had to kill someone! Zhu Feng went to visit her out of kindness, but the Regent caught him red-handed, saying he had broken the rules, and forced him to be locked up!"

"They didn't even spare Wei Jiaruo, who was pregnant, and she was imprisoned! It's all Wei Zhaoning's fault! Such a big case has even alarmed the Regent!" Lu Jieshuang added.

Changming-gege refuses to be open about their relationship because he thinks her family background isn't as good as that bitch Shen Shu's, right?

One after another, people from the Marquis's mansion entered the Dali Temple, making her feel even more inferior in front of her brother Changming and Shen Shu!

Lu Ze, impatient, slammed his fist on the table, as if venting his dissatisfaction.

He suddenly remembered that it was Wei Jiaruo who had persuaded his brother to go to Dali Temple yesterday, and had even asked him if he wanted to go with her!

If he really went along, wouldn't he also be imprisoned in the Dali Temple?!

"You're all wrong."

"It was Wei Jiaruo who persuaded my brother to go to the Dali Temple. I happened to run into her at the gate yesterday when I returned home from gambling."

The old lady's fingers trembled with anger, and she began to blame Wei Jiaruo, no longer showing the same favoritism as before.

"That troublemaker! Cough cough..."

"Now that things have come to this, why don't you hurry and go to the General's Mansion to beg for help! Wei Zhaoning is also imprisoned; I don't believe the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion will sit idly by! We'll rescue Zhu Feng as well!"

Lu Ze sighed helplessly, "Mother! There's been absolutely no word from over there. It seems they don't want to deal with Wei Zhaoning anymore!"

For a moment, the Shou'an Hall was completely silent.

Yes, it's obvious even to a fool.

Powerful and influential families often lack genuine sentimentality.

The General's Mansion had enjoyed a century of glory, while the Duke's Mansion was a rising star. The fact that a girl who committed murder was produced was a stain on history!

Who would let their hard-earned family business be disgraced for the sake of a mere girl?!

Desperate, Lu Jieyue asked, "Wasn't Wei Jiaruo also imprisoned? If the Duke's Mansion doesn't care, surely her maternal family, the Marquis of Dongyang's Mansion, won't ignore her?"

The old lady was so angry she could hardly breathe. "Fool!"

"If she and her mother were truly favored by the Marquis of Dongyang, would her mother have gone to work as a lowly concubine?!"

Everyone was like ants on a hot pan, anxiously pacing around in circles.

What connections does the Marquis's mansion have? By this generation, many of the aristocratic families who were on good terms with the late Marquis have long since severed ties.

Moreover, looking across the entire world, who can persuade the regent, who is second only to the emperor?!

"No! We can't just sit here and wait to die. Doesn't the Prime Minister like Wei Zhaoning a lot? Didn't she save Madam Tang? This favor should be repaid," Lu Ze said.

He hurriedly sent someone to deliver a visiting card.

The people in the Marquis's mansion waited anxiously, unable to eat or sleep, until Prime Minister Zhang sent a servant to deliver a message.

"Even if I save Ningning, I won't save those two idiots."

The people in the Marquis's mansion turned pale.

The old lady's condition worsened.

At that moment, Lu Jieshuang had a flash of inspiration.

"Mother, I think I know someone else who can persuade the Regent."

The old lady immediately asked, "Who will help us?!"

Lu Jieshuang smiled sweetly.

"Princess Changning, Shen Shu."

"Shen Shu and Wei Zhaoning are close friends, like sisters. The fact that there's been no news from her side suggests that she's being kept in the dark."

If she knew her best friend had been imprisoned, she certainly wouldn't be able to sit still. Princess Changning is so noble; how could she possibly be unable to help?

Lu Ze suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he had been away on business for a while, and when he returned, he heard that the Duan Prince's family had been exiled.

He didn't know exactly what had happened, and no one dared to gossip about the royal family behind their backs.

My younger sister has also started acting strangely. When we ask them, neither of them wants to say what happened.

But it's all for the best. Before Shen Shu was exiled, he was able to do the Marquis's family a great favor, so it wasn't all for nothing.

The old lady paused, somewhat worried, "Didn't I hear she's about to give birth? It wouldn't be good to disturb her at this time, would it?"

Thinking of this, Lu Jieshuang felt lighter.

The news that she was about to give birth was a devastating blow to her.
