Luo Rui, the Prince of the Imperial Court, said, "I felt bad when Lin'er stabbed Yi'er, but Lin'er said Yi'er asked him to do it, and Yi'er didn't deny it at the time. What do you want me to do?"

The lady asked, "What happened next? The Ghost Valley Doctor witnessed the entire thing. What did you do after he told you the truth? Did you really think Yi'er had no heart and couldn't feel pain?"

Luo Rui said, "Even the Ghost Valley Strange Doctor couldn't guarantee a cure at that time, and the Duke's Mansion was spending money like water..."

The lady said, "So this concubine murdered the eldest son and then lied to him with all her might. You didn't even touch him and protected him well. So you think it's okay for him to kill Yi'er, right? Yi'er understands your father's intentions, so how can you deny it?"

I want a divorce, but you won't let me take my son with me because you're afraid it will ruin your reputation. You're also afraid that if we divorce, I'll report this concubine to the authorities.

"If we split up, that mother and son wouldn't even want your parents. They've already severed all ties, so why are they talking about being a young couple and having a love that lasted forever? If they had that kind of love, how could they treat us like this?"

Luo Rui said, "My parents followed you because I followed their wishes, not hers. I've thought about this over the past few years, and the Duke's Mansion is only safe if it's in your and Yi'er's hands."

Yi'er was smart and cute when she was little. If she hadn't been in poor health, she would have been better than Lin'er. Lin'er's mind was crooked, and I only thought that he could be straightened out. I was also afraid that if Yi'er died, I would not even have an heir, so I indulged him a little.

I am sorry to Yi'er, but I have never given them a legitimate status over the years. I have only provided them with financial comfort, thinking that the Duke's Mansion would still be handed over to Yi'er."

The lady said, "It's not that you don't want to give them the status of mother and son. It's that if you discover a lie, you have to make up countless lies to cover it up. You are afraid that you can't cover it up, so you have been waiting for an opportunity to perfectly elevate their status as mother and son.

If you really wanted to hand it over to Yi'er, why would you wait until today to negotiate with me? Yi'er's illness didn't just heal yesterday.

Yi'er has been studying at Luming Academy for two years, and has been in He Qingjun for another two years. It has been almost half a year since she came back.

Lord Duke, if you are worried about them and their son, why don't you remove their official identities as soon as possible and divorce me?

Also, you're right, your parents don't want to live with them either. They said, "If they can kill Yi'er, they can probably kill them too."

Luo Rui said: "What if after all this twists and turns, I still want to hand over the Duke's Mansion to you and your son?"

"If the Duke is not plotting against us mother and son again, then please make other arrangements for them. It's good enough that we mother and son don't retaliate and don't interfere with each other. It's absolutely impossible for me to take care of them.

The Duke can also give them everything they want, including the title of legal wife and the status of Crown Prince, but we don't want them. Just let us go."

Lady Li Muyun, the Duke's wife, recalled the scene in her dream. In the dream, her son Luo Yi was asked to be named the Crown Prince, and the mother and son also moved out of the Duke's Mansion as cousins ​​and their sons.

However, the crimes committed by the Duke of Fuguo were soon discovered, and the title of the Duke's Mansion was revoked. The prince was effectively unemployed, the Duke was imprisoned, the Duke's Mansion was ransacked, and his parents-in-law passed away and suffered from hemiplegia. He and his son, despite being labeled as relatives of a criminal, had to handle the funeral, take care of the elderly, move out of the Duke's Mansion, and lay off most of the servants. They had no money and no one, and were so busy that they couldn't even get a sip of water.

And the mother and son, under Luo Rui's arrangement, took away most of the assets of the Duke's Mansion. They had already bought a yard, a farm, and selected servants outside, and lived a prosperous and colorful life.

Now, either they could divorce, or the mother and son would have to leave the house with nothing. I could then find a way to escape with my son and the money before their house was searched...

After the two of them came out of Helan City, Luo Yunyan asked, "Why did you look at me so strangely when I gave you a gift just now? What's wrong?"

Zhang Baiyi said, "You and Uncle Ye are sharing a gift, which is slightly inconsistent with Central Plains etiquette. If you feel you lack a matching headpiece, you can ask Uncle Ye to prepare another one. It's best if your gift is completely different from his, such as tea from southern Yunnan."

But since you are from the Gu tribe, it doesn’t matter.”

Luo Yunyan asked, "Was it delivered to the wrong place again? Can I take it back if it's delivered to the wrong place?"

Zhang Baiyi said, "No."

"If it's wrong, why can't it be corrected?"

Zhang Baiyi hesitated for a moment and said, "I was wrong."

Luo Yunyan asked, "Why don't you bring a gift for your Uncle He?"

Zhang Baiyi said, "I'm on official business, traveling light and with a small entourage. The journey is long, so etiquette doesn't matter. Uncle He is going to Kyoto to report on his work, and I will receive and take care of him, showing the proper courtesy of a younger generation and a host."

Luo Yunyan said, "Then I go to Kyoto, do you care?"

Zhang Baiyi said: "Food and lodging, guidance and gifts."

Luo Yunyan was genuinely delighted: "You're such a nice person!" She then asked: "What gift should I bring you? Diannan tea?"

Zhang Baiyi said, "Well, wearable things are better, and those you make yourself are even better." He felt a little guilty after saying that.

Luo Yunyan was surprised and said, "Is it okay for me to make something myself? You really won't mind. Are you willing to take it?"

Zhang Baiyi said, "Why would I dislike it? Of course I want it."

Luo Yunyan: Isn't it a bit inappropriate to take advantage of this fool...
