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

With Lu Jieyue's wedding approaching, the entire Marquis's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Even Wei Zhaoning, who usually didn't like to get involved in the affairs of the Marquis's mansion, contributed his share.

As Lu Jieyue watched her make arrangements, she couldn't help but recall the way Meng Yun had looked at her before, and a wave of displeasure washed over her. Could Wei Zhaoning really be so kind? Was she perhaps planning something underhanded, trying to steal Meng Yun from her?

"Stop right there!"

She called out to Wei Zhaoning in an annoyed tone.

"What are you doing? Didn't you say you wouldn't take care of the house?"

Wei Zhaoning said innocently, "How could I not offer my blessings for my sister-in-law's marriage?"

Lu Jieyue scrutinized Wei Zhaoning's entire body; she was still so flirtatious and annoying!

Fortunately, Meng Yun didn't even glance at Wei Zhaoning during this time.

That's true. Wei Zhaoning's appearance is only good at first glance, nothing special. After looking at her for a while, she's not the type to grow on you. Brother Meng Yun isn't blind.

"That would be best. If you're really interested, then spend more money. Who are you trying to fool with these little tricks? Don't do these things again."

Although Brother Meng Yun looks down on Wei Zhaoning, it doesn't mean that Wei Zhaoning doesn't have bold ideas.

We still need to take precautions.

On the surface, Wei Zhaoning appears to be as serene as a chrysanthemum, but in reality, isn't she just a living widow? She may not say it out loud, but deep down, she probably wants to pounce on any man she sees.

Wei Zhaoning agreed, "Okay."

"Then I wish my sister-in-law a happy marriage and many children."

A faint smile played at the corners of her lips. In this life, she wholeheartedly supported, respected, and blessed her sister-in-law's search for happiness.

When Lu Jieyue gets married, she will definitely give two large red envelopes as a heartfelt blessing.

The old lady smiled and made arrangements, saying she wanted to invite Meng Yun to the Marquis's residence for dinner.

Logically, the two should not meet before marriage, but the Marquis's mansion doesn't follow any rules, so this one doesn't make a difference.

Lu Zhufeng and Meng Yun rushed to the Marquis's residence as soon as court was over.

During the meal, toasts were exchanged, and the atmosphere was joyful.

Meng Yun kept piling food into Lu Jieyue's bowl.

"Brother Mengyun~" Lu Jieyue said coquettishly, lowering her head and basking in the sweetness.

"Aren't you shy about getting married? We're getting married soon, and you'll be my wife. I'll take care of you even more in the future." Meng Yun smiled faintly.

The old lady joked, "Oh dear, you young people."

"Our Jieyue is so lucky to have found such a caring husband."

Upon hearing this, Meng Yun immediately put down his chopsticks and solemnly said, "Mother-in-law, please rest assured."

"Jieyue will live a good life after marrying into the family. Her son-in-law will treat her even better than he does today, and there will be absolutely no mishaps."

The old lady burst into laughter, "I know you're a thoughtful child."

This assessment was completely different from before. Looking at Meng Yun's demeanor, the old lady also felt that it was impossible for those things to happen again.

Meng Yun breathed a sigh of relief and continued to serve soup to Lu Jieyue.

A faint blush rose on Lu Jieyue's face. During dinner today, she had paid special attention to Meng Yun. Meng Yun treated Wei Zhaoning like a complete stranger, showing no respect whatsoever, and his eyes were devoid of any warmth.

She was quite satisfied.

Wei Zhaoning also noticed this.

Meng Yun was quite different from before. He used to speak with arrogance, and even when he came to propose marriage, his words were filled with a harsh arrogance that he himself was unaware of.

Today he seems like a virtuous gentleman.

Where did Meng Yun go after leaving the capital some time ago?

In her previous life, Wei Zhaoning had already prevented the marriage between the two and arranged a marriage for Lu Jieyue with someone from the Earl's family. Therefore, she no longer paid attention to Meng Yun.

What could have happened to cause such a change in a person?

Is it an act? Or is it real?

Wei Zhaoning was thinking about this when Lu Zhufeng interrupted her.

Lu Zhufeng raised his wine glass, "Now that my sister has married into the family, I have to call you brother-in-law. Come on, brother-in-law, let's have a drink. We won't leave until we're drunk."

He was overjoyed. Some of the powerful and influential people he had met these days had helped him start businesses and make a fortune. They often took him along on whatever they did.

Although it's a bit like being someone's lackey, there are benefits to be had. Being around those powerful and wealthy people makes one's own status seem much more dignified, so why not?

Once Lu Jieyue and Meng Yun get married, he will be able to move up the social ladder more legitimately by virtue of his relationship with his brother-in-law.

Meng Yun raised his wine glass, smiled faintly, and drank it down.

Lu Zhufeng still felt it wasn't enough, so he poured him another cup.

Lu Ze rolled his eyes. He had important things to do recently. He originally planned to eat a couple of bites in his room and continue doing his own thing, but Lu Zhufeng forced him to come over.

He didn't want to come and had a big argument with Lu Zhufeng, but he had no choice. Lu Zhufeng threatened him with the shop, so he had to reluctantly attend today's dinner with a belly full of anger.

The hypocritical faces of this family were disgusting enough, and they've been eating for an hour and it's still not over. He's not a key figure, so why should he stay here?

His face darkened. "Brother."

"I have something to do. I'm full, so I'll head back now."

Lu Zhufeng's expression changed immediately, and he gave Lu Ze a few meaningful glances.

Lu Ze had been holding back for a long time, but this time he reached his limit and said irritably, "I said I have other things to do!"

After saying that, he was about to throw down his chopsticks and leave.

Lu Zhufeng's lips twitched, a sinister glint appearing in his eyes, and his gaze toward Lu Ze deepened.

Seeing this, Meng Yun also looked at Lu Ze thoughtfully.

At this moment, Wei Jiaruo, who had been sitting in the corner, smiled and said, "Aze, be more sensible. Your brother-in-law is very influential in the court. The fact that your business started up is all thanks to his word."

If she hadn't spoken, Wei Zhaoning would have almost not realized that Wei Jiaruo had arrived.

Unlike before, when she was always seated next to Lu Zhufeng, the two of them were sitting so far apart today, it seems they haven't made up yet.

Lu Ze stopped, pondered for a moment, and then sat back down.

He was thinking of relying on himself, which was fine, but who would complain about having a shortcut? For Bai Yunxiao's sake, he endured it.

He put on a smile, raised his glass in apology, and said, "Brother-in-law, please don't be offended. I'll punish myself with a drink."

Lu Zhufeng's expression softened slightly. He gave Wei Jiaruo a meaningful look before looking away.

"Aze is still a child and doesn't know any better, so don't take it to heart."

Meng Yun drank the wine and said, "It's alright, we're all family, no need to be so formal."

"Let's drink until we drop! We'll have a good time first, and then we'll have someone prepare a midnight snack if we get hungry later. If we're too tired to go home tonight, we can rest here," Lu Zhufeng said, winking at Lu Jieyue.

Lu Jieyue understood immediately, and her ears suddenly turned red.

The Marquis's mansion is just that unruly; its bottom line will only keep dropping.

Meanwhile, a snowstorm raged outside the Marquis's residence.

A figure staggered along, rubbing his body to keep warm from time to time, sneezing occasionally, his expression pained.
