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

"That's right, how could your dear sister and brother possibly give up their fame and fortune to risk their lives to deal with a criminal like you?"

Without waiting for a second, he grabbed Lu Jieshuang and began to do what was happening in reality.

Lu Jieshuang felt as if she were being fried in oil, and even if it was a dream, she didn't want to experience it again.

She began to struggle, wishing she could wake up right now, even if it meant being killed with a single blow!

She started pinching herself hard, trying to wake herself up from the dream as soon as possible.

suddenly!

A cold, eerie voice rang out.

"With this imperial edict and ironclad guarantee, anyone who dares to touch her is courting death!"

Wei Zhaoning suddenly appeared in the prison cell with several guards and captured all those beasts.

Those beasts, with their pants half off, panicked when they saw Wei Zhaoning.

"Lady Hou..."

"Even death row inmates are not to be humiliated by you! Guards! Drag these people away! You know what to do with them!"

Lu Jieshuang's eyes suddenly lit up. Wei Zhaoning had actually saved her in her dream!

But the version of myself in the dream didn't buy it, and looked resentful.

"You've come to laugh at me?!"

Wei Zhaoning sighed and took off his cloak to wrap her up.

She whispered, "I used my maternal grandfather's imperial edict to save your life. It's alright, Ashuang, it's alright."

"Don't do such things again in the future. I can save you once, but I can't save you for life."

I promised Zhufeng I would take good care of the Marquis's mansion and wouldn't let anything happen to you. Don't be afraid, everything will be alright.

Wei Zhaoning took her out of the cell, had someone wash her up, and even treated her to a good meal.

But Lu Jieshuang in the dream was aggressive.

"You just said you'd save me, are you deliberately setting me up?"

Did you threaten Brother Changming? Did you deliberately make him say those things just to get revenge for your good friend Shen Shu?

You wouldn't be thinking of getting them back together, would you? Let me tell you, no way! Changming-gege likes me!

"You're really something, aren't you? You even managed to get His Majesty to put on an act for you. I knew it! Shen Shu is a princess, how could she possibly be exiled! It's disgusting!"

Wei Zhaoning's expression was complicated; the mention of Shen Shu caused her heart to ache.

In her dream, Lu Jieshuang couldn't understand this expression, but now Lu Jieshuang understands it.

Shen Shu was indeed exiled to Lingnan. Wei Zhaoning betrayed Shen Shu's feelings, and in order to save her, the two broke up.

In an instant, an indescribable feeling welled up inside me.

Wei Zhaoning actually went to such lengths for her, even using the imperial edict and breaking ties with Shen Shu?!

How could she...?

How could she!

In the dream, Lu Jieshuang continued saying, "I won't listen to you; you just can't stand to see me doing well!"

The scene changes again.

This scene seems to have happened a long time ago.

Lu Jieshuang's reputation is ruined, and no one wants to associate with her.

Wherever she went, Wei Zhaoning followed her, just in case she encountered someone who was gossipy and said hurtful things when she went out alone.

Wei Zhaoning told her to rest and recuperate at home, but the only rule was that she was not allowed to see Li Changming.

One day, a tutor came to the manor. Wei Zhaoning said that this kind of tutor was specially trained to help people resolve their inner conflicts. She was worried that Lu Jieshuang might be upset, so she found this tutor to stay at the manor to cheer Lu Jieshuang up.

After a while, the man confessed his feelings to Lu Jieshuang.

Lu Jieshuang, still thinking of Li Changming, was unwilling to give in easily and directly tried to dissuade him: "You said you like me?"

"I've slept with other people, and you still like that?"

Seeing that the man's expression was completely calm, Lu Jieshuang felt a little annoyed.

"Second Miss, the first time is certainly important, but I believe that every time is even more important."

"I don't understand, speak like a human."

The man laughed and said, "Who hasn't made mistakes when they were young? What I mean is, this doesn't define you as a person."

If I dislike you because of what you've done with others, it only proves that I don't truly like you.

The past and the future are not important; what matters is the present.

Lu Jieshuang choked.

This gentleman has an open mind, which is quite novel.

Finally, Lu Jieshuang heard that Li Changming had married several concubines, and she was very unhappy about it, so she simply agreed to marry the man.

Even after their marriage, she still thought of Li Changming, but even though he knew it, he continued to treat her well as always.

She became the one who was favored in the relationship.

The days passed by.

One day, Wei Zhaoning returned covered in injuries. It seemed that he had been kneeling in the snow for several days to plead for his mother, and had even fallen down. He looked to be in very bad shape.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jieshuang in real life was already filled with many emotions, and she subconsciously opened her mouth and said, "Sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law!"

They spoke in unison, but the person in the dream couldn't hear her.

In her dream, Lu Jieshuang also shouted excitedly.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Lu Zhufeng and Wei Jiaruo returned, having faked their deaths.

The whole family greeted the woman they hadn't seen in five years with smiles, calling her "sister-in-law".

Lu Zhufeng embraced Wei Jiaruo, the two were deeply in love, seemingly oblivious to Wei Zhaoning.

In reality, Lu Jieshuang was startled and looked at Wei Zhaoning.

Wei Zhaoning was completely exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

She saw despair and pain in Wei Zhaoning's expression.

She understood that expression.

Wei Zhaoning was heartbroken; she felt like she was living a life worse than death.

From beginning to end, she was like a clown, toiling away for the Marquis's mansion.

Help my second brother with his business, find a good family for my eldest sister, and use the imperial edict to save Lu Jieshuang's life.

All of this stemmed from her brother's words: "Ningning, take good care of the Marquis's residence for me."

Lu Jieshuang's heart clenched suddenly; she seemed to have truly understood Wei Zhaoning.

How much pain must she be in?

Then, Lu Zhufeng's voice rang out: "If you hadn't been so intolerant back then, why would I have had to hide for five years?"

The remaining people protested.

"Brother, you don't know how vicious Wei Zhaoning is! She ruined my life and shattered my dreams! Now, I have nothing but money!" Lu Ze cried bitterly. He had originally wanted to become the gambling king!

"She forced me to marry someone I don't love. What's the point of my life?" Lu Jieyue said bitterly.

"If it weren't for her, I'd probably be with Changming by now..." Lu Jieshuang complained in her dream.

Lu Zhufeng glared at her, annoyed. "I told you to manage the Marquis's residence properly, and this is how you manage it!"

In the freezing cold, Wei Zhaoning, who was weak, fainted in the snow after the shock.

No one helped her rest, no one helped her find a doctor; they were all discussing how to make her die sooner.

At that time, the general's mansion had fallen into decline, and only her little maid named Dongxu carried her into the house and went out in the heavy snow to find a doctor to treat her young lady.
