Chapter 8 He still has Fang Qianxue in his heart

"I think he's been blinded by greed!" Yan Fenghua wanted to rush to Lu Changqing's study to beat him up, but after thinking about it, he held back and asked Fang Qianxue, "What are your plans?"

After all, it is a matter between them and he shouldn't interfere.

Fang Qianxue weighed the tea lid twice and said calmly, "Divorce your husband."

"What did you say?" Yan Fenghua thought she had misheard.

Although there were laws in the Yong Dynasty that allowed women to divorce their husbands, the conditions were very harsh. Even if a princess or county lord wanted to divorce her husband, the man had to have committed a heinous crime.

Lu Changqing just wants a woman, it's not that serious yet.

"What, you don't agree?" Fang Qianxue looked up at him.

"How could I not agree? But..." Yan Fenghua looked into Fang Qianxue's eyes, her face slightly reddened, "Qianxue, why don't I go and talk to Changqing and ask him to take that woman as a concubine and give up the idea of ​​having two wives."

He has not married in these years, firstly because he is busy with official duties, and secondly because he still has a place in his heart for Fang Qianxue.

Upon learning that Fang Qianxue and Lu Changqing had separated, he hated himself for feeling a little excited, but after all, she was his friend's wife, and Yan Fenghua felt extremely conflicted.

"Master Yan, you don't know that the Second Master is determined to marry that witch. He said that the witch is a saint who is pure and innocent. He wants to marry her in a formal way and won't let her be his concubine!" Cui Shuang complained desperately, "Madam has said everything she should say, but he won't listen at all!"

"Let's not talk about this anymore," Fang Qianxue asked Yan Fenghua, "Did your second brother ask you to bring me a letter?"

"Here. Fang Jue and the others have already arrived in Luzhou, don't worry." Yan Fenghua took out a letter from her sleeve pocket and handed it to her, sighing softly, "Qianxue, if you want to divorce and remarry, I will help you, but divorcing your husband is probably impossible."

The laws of Dayong are ultimately based on male superiority and female inferiority. They are lenient towards men but not so lenient towards women.

"Thank you for your concern for the Fang family, Master Yan." Fang Qianxue took the letter and smiled at him faintly, "As for the matter between me and Lu Changqing, there will be a way out when the time comes. You don't have to worry."

"The teacher is gone, if I don't stand up for you, who will? If Lu Changqing dares to let that woman in, I will make sure he can't survive in the officialdom in Beijing!" Yan Fenghua stood up, shaking his sleeves, and walked out of the flower hall like a gust of wind.

Cui Shuang was very happy. She pulled Fang Qianxue's sleeve and said, "Madam, this is good! Lord Yan is standing up for you. Humph, that Xu Miaoyan can just wait to pack up and leave!"

Lord Yan was a fourth-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Lu Changqing was only a sixth-rank editor in the Hanlin Academy. Cuishuang felt that Lu Changqing had to listen to Lord Yan's words more or less.

Fang Qianxue frowned, stroked the letter in her hand and said, "Lu Changqing is a soft-hearted person, and he has always been jealous of Yan Fenghua. I'm afraid it will backfire."

The two came out of the flower hall and walked in the corridor. They saw a maid leading several tailors and embroiderers from Jinxiu Zhai passing by. Leading them was Madam Zhao, who followed the old lady Chen.

Jinxiu Zhai is the best garment shop in the capital. It usually serves royal relatives and high-ranking officials. The Lu family is far from being able to afford it. Even during festivals, the Lu family has never invited anyone from Jinxiu Zhai to visit.

"Madam Zhao!" Cui Shuang stopped the old woman and asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

"Second Madam," Madam Zhao led everyone to bow reluctantly to Fang Qianxue, "It was the old madam who asked me to ask the people from Jinxiuzhai to come and give Miss Xu some new clothes."

"The master just left. Isn't this bright color inappropriate?" Fang Qianxue glanced at one of the trays and saw that the fabrics were all fine brocade, bright yellow and red in color.

Madam Zhao replied, "The old lady said that Miss Xu will soon go to the palace to see the Queen Mother, so she can't wear anything too plain."

"oh?"

"Second Madam, you don't know. Someone came from the palace yesterday and said that the Qilin beast has not eaten and it is afraid that it will not survive for a few more days. The Queen Mother's birthday is almost here, so please ask Miss Xu to come to the palace as soon as possible." said Madam Zhao.

Last year, King Beining led his army to conquer the Guiluo Kingdom in the Western Regions. To celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, he specially presented a Qilin from the Western Regions this year. However, the Qilin had only been in the capital for half a month and had eaten very little.

Seeing that the Qilin beast was getting weaker day by day, the Queen Mother became worried and fell ill.

"I see."

"The old lady also said that when Miss Xu gets married next month, she can wear this color as a newlywed." Madam Zhao smiled awkwardly.

"Next month..." Fang Qianxue narrowed her eyes slightly and waved her hand, "You guys go."

"Bah! What a cheap woman! We even bought her clothes from Jinxiuzhai. Does she deserve them?" Cuishuang looked at the backs of the people and pulled Fang Qianxue to complain, "She even bought three pieces at a time. Madam, you only cut one set of clothes a year..."
