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

Lu Jieshuang smiled and said, "Mother, leave this matter to me."

The old lady looked at her with a puzzled expression, but didn't say anything. At this point, it would be best to find someone to help.

Lu Jieshuang had her maid send a message to Li Changming, and then went to the Princess's residence alone.

During this time, Princess Changning acted like she was blind, perhaps due to pregnancy-induced stupidity. Every time Li Changming made an excuse to go out and meet with Lu Jieshuang, she ignored it all.

She spends all her time eating and sleeping; it seems she's focusing all her energy on the pregnancy and has no time to care for them.

They grew bolder and bolder, mostly meeting secretly at Wei Jiaruo's residence. But sometimes, when Princess Changning was asleep, the two would secretly make love right under her nose.

This is much more exciting than doing it secretly.

Therefore, Lu Jieshuang was already very familiar with the Princess's residence.

When the carriage arrived at the side gate, Li Changming was already waiting there.

"Hurry up and come in, someone might see us."

Lu Jieshuang quickly asked, "Where is the princess?"

"She's fast asleep. I added something calming to her pregnancy medication, so she won't wake up for a while."

Lu Jieshuang blushed slightly, "Then where are we going today...?"

After saying that, she lowered her head and shyly bumped into Li Changming's arms.

Li Changming's lips curled up, his gaze lingering on Lu Jieshuang's slender, fair arm, which he gently pinched.

"I've sent all her maids away; they won't be back for a while. Why don't you stay in her garden and experience what it's like to be outside?"

Lu Jieshuang whimpered, "You're so mean, Changming-gege!"

After saying that, she gave her maid a wink.

The maid understood immediately, glanced at the enormous princess's mansion, and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I'll take care of it right away."

Li Changming tiptoed into the room and saw Shen Shu sleeping. Her face was pale, as if she was still having a nightmare.

He paused for a moment, then gently stroked the stray hairs on her forehead. Suddenly, a wave of guilt washed over him.

There were supplements for preventing miscarriage piled on the table, and little socks that Shen Shu had made for the baby were placed by the bed.

Looking closely at her hands, there were many bloody holes, probably from when she was making socks for the children.

She was a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger, yet she toiled every day for their child; it was truly remarkable.

He recalled the absurd things he had done these past few days by bringing Lu Jieshuang to the princess's residence, and slapped himself hard across the face.

He looked at Shen Shu with a conflicted expression. Just then, Lu Jieshuang quietly leaned against the doorframe and whispered, "Brother Changming, are you fast asleep?"

Her voice was soft and alluring.

Li Changming opened his mouth as if to say something, but finally said, "Find a secluded place and wait for me. I'll come find you after I've dealt with this."

"Okay, Brother Changming, Shuangshuang will be waiting for you~"

Li Changming helplessly rubbed his forehead, but the voice was just too alluring. Looking down, he saw that his manhood had already stiffened.

He was extremely frustrated, and finally picked up a child's sock, haphazardly and clumsily sewed a small heart onto it, and then hurriedly went out to find Lu Jieshuang.

He had already made sacrifices, and he looked forward to the birth of the child more than anyone else. It wasn't just Shen Shu who was exhausted.

How many men in the world can lower their heads and do things that only women do?

He also said that he would break up with Lu Jieshuang.

After Ashu gives birth.

Lu Jieshuang and Li Changming made love right under Shen Shu's nose, enjoying themselves immensely.

A piercing sound frequently emanated from the bushes.

Li Changming, covered in sweat and panting heavily, said, "Keep your voice down!"

Lu Jieshuang: "I can't help it, Brother Changming."

After a long, muffled groan, Li Changming stopped.

Just then, Shen Shu's maid returned, rushing anxiously into the room. "Something terrible has happened, Princess!"

Li Changming was quite startled by the sudden interruption. He quickly dressed and said, "You go back first. I'll go see what's going on. Be discreet and don't let anyone recognize you."

Lu Jieshuang gritted her teeth. When would she finally be able to do it openly and honestly?

Suddenly, a piercing scream came from Princess Changning's bedchamber.

Lu Jieshuang's eyes lit up; it was a success.

She looked at Li Changming, who was running towards the bedroom in a great panic, and was not angry at all.

She was in a good mood, dressed slowly and without any panic, and finally swayed as she left the princess's residence.

Even after she got into the carriage, she kept muttering, "God help me, both mother and child are safe."

Meanwhile, Lu Ze was not idle either.

After much thought, he still felt that Princess Changning and Wei Zhaoning were in cahoots, and that she would most likely only save Wei Zhaoning, just like Prime Minister Zhang, and ignore her brother.

He couldn't just sit and wait to die; if his brother wasn't released immediately, his shop would go bankrupt.

He's racked up huge debts from gambling these days. If he loses that shop to help him pay off his debts, his hand will be chopped off!

He thought of someone.

Over the years, he and Bai Yunxiao have gotten to know each other so well. If it weren't for the fact that men can't marry, they would have been husband and wife long ago.

Husband and wife are family, and family members should help each other.

He went to find Bai Yunxiao.

"Ah Xiao, my brother is innocent. He did nothing wrong. He was just visiting someone in prison when the Regent imprisoned him."

"I'm powerless to help my brother with this. Could you please do me this favor?"

Looking at the pitiful girl in his arms, Bai Yunxiao felt a surge of protective instincts.

"Why did you only tell me about something this big now?"

Lu Ze felt a warm glow in his heart. He knew that he was very important to Bai Yunxiao.

Lu Ze sniffed. "Ah Xiao, I wouldn't have asked you for this unless it was absolutely necessary."

Bai Yunxiao gave him a meaningful look. "Is what you're saying true? Are you sure your brother and sister-in-law didn't do anything wrong, and were just caught visiting him in prison by the Regent?"

"Ah Xiao doesn't believe me?"

"Alright, I understand the situation. I will go back and explain it to my father. Although the Regent is extremely powerful, my father is, after all, a founding minister. He will still give me some face for such a small matter."

Lu Ze felt great having someone to rely on, as if he had found someone to depend on.

The people in the Marquis's mansion are cold and aloof, with little power. When problems arise, they only blame each other, and you can't feel any warmth of home.

But he found this warmth in Bai Yunxiao.

He gazed at Bai Yunxiao for a long time and vowed to keep Bai Yunxiao by his side for the rest of his life.

Bai Yunxiao coaxed the person in his arms for a long time before Lu Ze's mood improved a little.

The Regent's Palace.

Wei Zhaoning slept soundly, as if a long time had passed.

She struggled to open her eyes, touched her cheeks, and saw that her face was covered in tears.

Pei Ran was sitting by the bed looking at her. "You're awake."
