"Well, Madam, don't be afraid, Luzhu will protect you! If the eldest master dares to come again, I will--"

She looked around, found a pair of scissors, held them across her chest and said viciously, "Let him pay!"

Zhou Ruonan couldn't help but be amused by her, and her previous nervous mood relaxed.

Zhao Boyan returned to the courtyard and fell to the ground with a thud after entering the room. An invisible soul floated out of his body.

It’s Nian Nian.

And all those strange behaviors of Zhao Boyan before were her masterpieces.

When Zhou Ruonan left Lijiazhuang before, Shen Yizi was worried, so in addition to giving her a pair of mimicking insects, he also asked Nian Nian to follow her back so that she could take action when necessary.

Fortunately, Nian Nian was there, otherwise Zhou Ruonan would have been defeated by that bastard Zhao Boyan.

Leaving Zhao Boyan behind, Nian Nian returned to Zhou Ruonan.

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, Zhou Ruonan sent Luzhu to her parents' home to invite someone.

Previously, Chen had wanted to follow her to the Zhao family to prevent her from being bullied again, but was stopped by Zhou Ruonan. To deal with concubines like Liu, her mother didn't need to take action.

But things are different now. She must divorce Zhao Boyan today, lest the Zhao family members become desperate and do something to her. It is better to have her mother’s family present.

After Zhao Boyan’s shameless behavior last night, she no longer has any trust in the Zhao family.

It turned out that her concerns were not unfounded.

When she learned that she was determined to divorce her son, Zhao's mother pointed at her nose and cursed her, while Zhao Zeyuan seemed to be easy to talk to but actually wanted to send her back to her room and put her under house arrest.

Fortunately, Chen and Zhou Caifeng arrived at this time.

As for why it wasn't Zhou Ruonan's parents who came? Because her father had passed away many years ago, and since then they had been an orphan and a widow, and luckily, her second uncle Zhou Caifeng took good care of them.

However, her marriage to Zhao Boyan was arranged by her father and Zhao Zeyuan when he was still alive. If it weren't for the consideration of friendship and fear of being accused of being ungrateful, the Zhao family would never have arranged this marriage.

This is also the reason why Zhao's mother made things difficult for Zhou Ruonan after she entered the house.

Fortunately, now she is finally leaving this cage! "Brother Zhou, your visit has brought honor to my humble abode." Zhao Zeyuan greeted him with a warm smile, exchanged a few words with Zhou Caifeng, and then turned to Chen: "My mother-in-law is here too? Please come in."

Whenever Chen thought of the suffering her daughter had endured in the Zhao family, she would no longer be happy with him. She responded coldly and ignored him.

Zhou Ruonan walked over quickly and held Chen's hand, "Mom, you're here."

"How can mother not be present when your divorce is such a big thing?" The mother and daughter walked in together.

After sitting down in the living room, Zhou Caifeng didn't beat around the bush and said, "Brother Zhao, I'm here this time because of the divorce between Ruonan and Boyan. Boyan vowed to treat Ruonan well, but only a few years have passed? The concubines and mistresses in the backyard are almost full, and now they have a bastard son. This is simply trampling on our Ruonan's face!"

The term "eldest son" no longer exists, but will the Zhao family tell anyone about this? If it gets out, they will lose face!

So when faced with Zhou Caifeng's accusations, Zhao Zeyuan had no way to refute them at all.

Zhou Caifeng did not give him a chance to speak, and continued to speak like a string of cannonballs: "Zhao Boyan favors his concubine over his wife, which clearly shows that he does not take our Zhou family seriously! Although our Zhou family is not as powerful as your Zhao family, we are also a well-known family in Lang City. There is absolutely no reason for us to be bullied like this!"

Mother Zhao sneered, "Do you really think our Yan'er would care about the daughter of a poor family? Okay, she doesn't want to live with our Bo Yan anymore, right? Then take the divorce letter and get out of our Zhao family! Want to divorce? No way!"

Even though Chen had some understanding of Zhao's mother's harshness, she was still furious at her words.

Ruonan was really miserable. She had been living under the same roof with such an evil mother-in-law for the past four years. She had suffered so much injustice! However, before she could get angry, Zhao Zeyuan slammed the table and yelled at Zhao's mother, "Shut up!"

This stupid woman will only cause trouble for him!

Mother Zhao was frightened by him and shrank back in her seat for a moment, not daring to move.

Zhao Zeyuan smiled apologetically: "Brother Zhou, I am sorry to make you laugh. This stupid woman just doesn't know how to talk. Brother Zhou and mother-in-law, please don't take it to heart."

However, this is obviously impossible.

Zhou Ruonan didn't want to continue to tangle with the Zhao family, so she used her trump card directly: "Let Zhao Boyan sign the divorce agreement, and we can part ways in peace. Otherwise, don't blame me for going too far and telling others about the affairs between Zhao Boyan and his brother and Aunt Liu."

Zhao Zeyuan was shocked and stared at her. Did she know?

Zhou Ruonan looked back without any hesitation.

Noticing her calmness, Zhao Zeyuan no longer had any hope in his heart. He frowned and wondered who had leaked this matter.

However, before he could think clearly, Zhou Caifeng asked, "Ruonan, how did Meng Yu get involved with the Liu family?"

Zhao Zeyuan's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Zhou Ruonan would say it in public. He didn't bother to think too much and blurted out, "Zhou, you can divorce Boyan, but the premise is that you don't tell anyone about that."

Zhou Ruonan agreed readily: "Okay."

Zhao Boyan was not present, but was unconscious in the house. However, at a certain moment, he stood up like a zombie, tilted his head, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

When the servant came to invite him, Zhao Boyan was just coming out of the house. He hurried forward to explain his purpose.

Zhao Boyan stared at him for a while, his eyes were a little creepy, and the servant felt a chill on the back of his neck. Why did he feel that the eldest master was a little strange today? "Lead the way." Zhao Boyan retracted his gaze and said in a flat voice.

Arriving at the front hall, Zhao Boyan awkwardly bowed to Zhou Caifeng and Chen, without even looking at Zhao Zeyuan and Zhao's mother.

Zhao Zeyuan was in a bad mood and didn't pay attention to this. After telling him about the matter, he asked for his opinion.

Zhou Ruonan stared at him, feeling that Zhao Boyan was a little different today than before, and more like the state he was in last night. Could it be that -

Just as she was thinking about it, Zhao Boyan also looked at her, and the moment their eyes met, he winked at her mischievously.

Zhou Ruonan almost couldn't control the expression on her face.
