"Lüzhu, go and report to the authorities that Liu has violated the law and secretly married Zhenghong."

When Luzhu saw such a majestic lady, she was very excited and quickly agreed and ran out.

"Ruonan!" Zhao Boyan came over. "I will give you an explanation for this matter, but with so many guests watching here today, it's better not to make things too ugly."

He held Zhou Ruonan's arm and spoke half-threateningly and half-pleadingly.

Zhou Ruonan seemed to be touched by something dirty. She immediately shook off his hand, smiled sweetly, but the words she spoke were as sharp as a knife.

"You also know it's ugly. Why didn't you feel it was ugly when you brought a skinny horse back and made the backyard a mess? I'm upholding the laws of the court. Don't stop me from being a law-abiding citizen."

Zhao Boyan's face turned pale, his eyes fixed on him, and he asked coldly, "Do you really want to make this a mess?"

Zhou Ruonan smiled and moved closer to him: "Do you know why I came back this time? I came to divorce you. I have been tortured by your Zhao family for several years. If I don't vent my anger when I leave, wouldn't it be a waste of this good opportunity provided by Liu? From now on, without me in your eyes, you can live with your master."

Zhao Boyan's pupils shrank and his breathing became rapid.

He never expected that Zhou Ruonan would actually propose a divorce.

Everyone was gossiping and whispering, looking at the two of them.

Everyone thought it was just an ordinary banquet, but unexpectedly they would encounter such a big melon. Everyone was very excited.

Zhao Zeyuan and his mother in the front yard rushed over after hearing the news.

Zhao Zeyuan clasped his hands together and bowed, apologizing to everyone: "I am not good at managing my family, and I have made a fool of myself in front of you all."

He also asked the butler to call in the acrobatic troupe that had been invited in advance to perform for everyone in order to divert their attention.

In the past, everyone would have gone to watch the lively circus, but now that something more exciting had happened, how could they still have the heart to watch the circus? They all glanced at the Zhao family members intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhao Zeyuan had no interest in exposing his household affairs to guests for a monkey show, so he winked at Zhao Boyan and said, "Boyan, hurry up and help your wife back to her room."

Zhao Boyan understood and was about to come up and force Zhou Ruonan back to her room. At this moment, someone from the City Lord's Mansion came.

Two officers in red official uniforms came in with swords slung over their shoulders, "Who's reporting to the authorities?"

Zhou Ruonan stepped forward calmly, "It's me."

Zhao Zeyuan's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

There was no suspense about what happened next. No matter how much Ren Liu cried and complained, she was still taken back by two officers.

With all the evidence and witnesses, she has no room for excuses.

Those ladies would not give false testimony for a concubine like her.

Even in their hearts, they were still gloating over the misfortune of the concubine. They told you that you were arrogant, but what about now? Once the wife was serious, she would have to submit obediently? Looking at Zhou Ruonan again, the wives' eyes were shining, and their hearts were full of admiration. This was the demeanor that the wife should show! It was really gratifying!

The principal wife and the concubine are naturally on opposite sides. Seeing Zhou Ruonan's victory, they couldn't help but put themselves in her shoes. They felt as if they were the ones who defeated the concubine, and they felt so refreshed.

Some of the main wives were encouraged and rose up because of this, while others, although unable to deal with the concubines as cleanly and efficiently as Zhou Ruonan, had a spark buried in their hearts that was ready to erupt at the right time.

But that’s a story for later.

Liu was taken away, but the banquet continued.

Zhou Ruonan replaced Liu and greeted all the ladies.

Compared to Liu, Zhou Ruonan was much more popular. As soon as she sat down, the guests at the same table and even the host table toasted her.

In front of so many people, Zhao Zeyuan couldn't do anything to her. He glared at Zhao Boyan, then left with his sleeves swung in anger.

This place was specially for entertaining female guests, so Zhao Boyan didn't want to stay any longer and left.

But I kept thinking about what Zhou Ruonan had said before.

Is she serious, or is she just speaking in anger?

Zhao Boyan was deceiving himself and leaning towards the latter. Ruonan loved him so much, why would she want to divorce him after leaving for a while?

I guess he's just playing hard to get.

Isn't it because of him that she has become so young and beautiful now?

Thinking of this, his heart gradually settled down.

It even gave rise to a sense of complacency and secret joy.

Considering that Ruonan has done so much for him, he should be nicer to her in the future. Thinking of Zhou Ruonan's cold and pretty face, his heart couldn't help but feel hot.

As for those concubines, they really should not be pampered too much. After all, they came from small places and did things without rules, which led to him losing face today.

I don't know what those people are talking about him in private.

In the city lord's mansion, Liu was still hoping that Zhao Boyan would come to rescue her. How could she have expected that her beloved was already angry with her at the moment, so how could he care about her?

When the board fell on her body, she screamed in pain, her heart filled with endless hatred.

Zhou Ruonan! I will fight you till death! "Ruonan, your face is so white and tender. Tell me, did you secretly take some elixir?"

"And your figure, Ruonan, I remember you weren't like this before... well, curvy, looking at you now, it's really enviable."

"Which lip balm did you use today? It's so gorgeous and tempting. It makes me, a woman, feel itchy."

The ladies were talking to each other, and the topic was all about Zhou Ruonan, so they tried not to be too obvious in their attempts to pry into the matter.

Zhou Ruonan didn't tell them directly, but simply evaded the question: "It's just that I let go of my worries, ate well and slept well."

No one believed it!

They believed that eating well and sleeping well led to a good complexion, but it shouldn't be to this extent, right? If her facial features hadn't changed, they would have thought she was a different person!

The banquet was over and the guests left. Zhao Zeyuan finally had a place to vent his anger.

"Zhou, you are so brave! Even if Boyan did you wrong, you wouldn't involve the government, right? By tomorrow, my Zhao family will probably become the laughing stock of the whole city!"

After shouting this, Zhao Zeyuan thought Zhou Ruonan would confess her crime to him in fear and trepidation, but she just stood there with an indifferent look.

Mother Zhao couldn't help it and shouted, "Kneel down!"

Zhou Ruonan chuckled, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and threw it in front of them.
