Qi Yuning was so angry that she almost burst out of her wits. She looked at Lu Ze coldly and said, "Yes, I hate you. Now I don't want to be your wife for a moment. You should write the divorce papers as soon as possible."
Lu Ze frowned and said, "Grandfather hasn't been buried yet, and his body is still warm. Do you really want his spirit in heaven to worry about you and me?"
Qi Yuning paused, looked at Lu Ze and said, "Then let's wait until His Majesty is buried."
Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief and followed Qi Yuning back to the princess's mansion.
As soon as I entered the princess's mansion, I saw Princess Pingrou coming over with a bunch of tonics, "Ningning, this is your first child, you must take good care of yourself."
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning in surprise, "Are you pregnant?"
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "Yes, I am pregnant, but I still want to divorce you."
Princess Pingrou asked, "Why are you getting divorced when everything is fine?"
Qi Yuning glanced at Lu Ze and said, "It's never been fine."
From the very beginning, Lu Ze wanted to marry Guan Zhiyi instead of her.
Lu Ze's men have proposed to deal with Prince Qi's Mansion, so why should she stay in Lu's Mansion and humiliate herself? It would be better to divorce.
Qi Yuning waited for nearly two months for the divorce, until April, when Emperor Shi Yuan was buried.
The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and the baby in Qi Yuning's arms is more than four months old.
Qi Yuning seldom went out these days, but she kept hearing news from outside that Lu Ze intended to deal with the Qi family.
Lu Ze promoted Empress Dowager Zhou's family. She also heard that Empress Dowager Zhou's niece was extremely beautiful, and the Zhou family intended to marry their daughter to Lu Ze.
Qi Yuning had recently heard many rumors from maids in the princess's mansion about Lu Ze's marriage to Miss Zhou.
Qi Yuning lay on the wooden couch and gently stroked her slightly bulging belly.
Lichun fanned her and said, "Princess, you are already five months pregnant. You should make a decision as soon as possible whether you want this child or not. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid..."
"Tell someone to make abortion pills. We're getting divorced anyway, and keeping the child would be irresponsible to the child."
Lichun responded, "Yes."
After Lichun left, Qi Yuning stood up and heard the maids whispering at the gate of the courtyard.
"I heard that Prince Qi has been seriously ill recently, and the Qi family army is leaderless. I'm afraid that Princess Qi won't be able to run rampant for many more days!"
"Princess Qi is still asking for a divorce. It's just right for her to get a divorce. I heard that Empress Dowager Zhou's family wants to marry her niece to our prince! Princess Qi can just give up her position!"
After a while, Qi Yuning heard the sounds of Frost and Beginning of Spring at the door.
"Lichun, what kind of medicine is this?"
"Abortion pills. The princess has already asked the prince for a divorce. She shouldn't keep the child anymore."
Shuangjiang said, "Why are you following the princess' lead in making trouble? The baby is already over five months old, how can you still abort it? It's almost dead."
Qi Yuning opened the door and took the abortion pill from Shuangjiang. When he saw the dark liquid and was about to drink it with a frown, Shuangjiang knelt on the ground and said:
"Princess, Princess, even if you don't think about your own body, you should think about the Qi family! Now Prince Qi is like a walking corpse, and the Qi family only has you and the child in your belly. Even if you want to divorce Master Lu, the child is innocent and he is still the blood of the Qi family!"
Qi Yuning's eyes shone as she said, "If I abort him, I may still be able to get pregnant with the Qi family's bloodline."
Shuangjiang said repeatedly: "Princess, abortion pills are extremely harmful. If you take abortion pills, what if you can't get pregnant again? It's been five months, I hope you will think twice!"
Qi Yuning clenched the medicine bowl in her hand. The smell of medicine continued to enter her nostrils. She only felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen.
When she put the medicine bowl to her lips, she saw Lu Ze coming from the door, walking up to Qi Yuning, snatching the medicine bowl from her hand and throwing it on the ground.
The black medicine splashed all over Qi Yuning's white skirt.
Lu Ze's red eyes looked at Qi Yuning fiercely and said, "Don't you want a divorce? Okay, I promise you!"
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze indifferently and said, "Then please ask the Regent to write the divorce agreement immediately!"
Lu Ze said coldly: "However, you can't abort this child. This child must take my surname Lu. You want this child, and you will take care of him after he is born.
If you don't want to keep the baby, just give it to me. I can write the divorce agreement first, but I can only give it to you after you give birth to the baby safely."
Qi Yuning ordered the maid to get paper and pen and said, "Okay, write the divorce agreement first."
Lu Ze clenched his hands, took a pen and wrote a divorce letter on the paper, signed his name, and after showing it to Qi Yuning, he said: "I will give you this divorce letter when you give birth to the child."
Qi Yuning agreed: "Okay."
Qi Yuning, who was outside the fog, saw this scene and sighed at Lu Ze standing beside her. In this life, she and Lu Ze could be considered lucky.
Lu Ze walked out of the door in the fog and tore the divorce letter into pieces.
Qi Yuning no longer saw Lu Ze after that, but she always heard the news that Zhou's daughter was going to be Lu Ze's concubine.
Although she was determined to divorce, for the future of the Qi family, Qi Yuning did not want the Zhou and Lu families to marry each other, so she went to the palace with her belly bulging and made a big fuss.
Lu Ze brought Qi Yuning to the side hall and said, "Qi Yuning! What are you doing? You have embarrassed Miss Zhou completely by making such a fuss."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "Why do you feel distressed? Are you waiting to marry her after the national mourning period ends? Even if we are divorced, I will never let you marry a Zhou family member!"
Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning: "You are really unreasonable!"
Qi Yuning returned to the princess's mansion, she was so angry that her stomach ached. However, what she was more worried about than the stomachache was that the Zhou and Lu families would join forces to attack the Qi family.
She needed to find a way to preserve the Qi family's wealth.
She helped the young emperor ascend the throne, but she didn't expect that as soon as the young emperor ascended the throne, the Zhou family would deliberately target their Qi family, so she had to protect herself.
Qi Yuning returned to Prince Qi's Mansion and wanted to cheer Qi Yu'an up, but Qi Yu'an's mind was full of Ah Ping, "Sister, Ah Ping still doesn't want to see me, and doesn't want me to hug Brother Yuan."
Qi Yuning looked at Qi Yu'an and said, "Brother, now is not the time for sentimental things..."
Qi Yu'an said: "Without Ah Ping, nothing else matters."
Qi Yuning was extremely angry and had no choice but to find Shuangjiang. If Shuangjiang gave birth to a son for King Jin earlier, and the imperial court really wanted to take action against the Qi family, the Qi family might be able to support Shuangjiang's son to ascend the throne.
Qi Yuning was sad throughout her pregnancy and worried about the power of the Qi family. In the late stage of her pregnancy, her body was exhausted.
On the day the child was born, she went into labor on the eighth day and had a difficult labor for the entire day.
When the child was born, he was as weak as a sick cat.
Qi Yuning, who was outside the mist, looked at Lingling in the mist and her eyes turned red. Her Lingling was fair, tender and healthy when she was born, while the Lingling in the mist was pitifully small and weak.
What’s even more pitiful is that Lingling, who was born in the fog, heard her parents quarreling on the first day.
Qi Yuning, who was in the mist, looked at his daughter who looked vaguely like Lu Ze and frowned, "Lu Ze, where is the divorce letter?"
Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning, "You just gave birth to a child, how can you divorce me? Let's wait until the child is one month old."
Qi Yuning clenched her hands and said, "Lu Ze! Are you trying to cheat? Don't you want to marry your Miss Zhou as your princess?"
"Qi Yuning, when did you become a jealous woman? Please don't involve other girls in the matter between you and me, okay?"
Qi Yuning said: "You don't understand what the Zhou family is thinking, but I do, ahem..."
Princess Pingrou said, "If you have anything to say, can't you wait a few days to say it? Yuning is still weak!"
Qi Yuning didn't expect that after quarreling with Lu Ze for half a year, she still couldn't get a divorce after half a year. However, Zhou Jiayun became the concubine of Prince Jin for some unknown reason.
Although Qi Yuning failed to divorce Lu Ze, she was also wary of the imperial court. Seeing that Shuangjiang had not been pregnant, Qi Yuning went to find Shuangjiang, helped her get pregnant, and secretly planned to help Shuangjiang's son seize the throne in the future.
Lu Yun, who had lost his memory, regained his memory and came back with Chen Nian. The two were going to get married. After Lu Yun came back, Qi Yuning was cleared of the charges of fleeing when disaster struck.
Princess Pingrou felt very guilty towards Qi Yuning, and she didn't want Qi Yuning to divorce Lu Ze, so she advised Qi Yuning, "Ningning, we are all family. Look, Lingling is already half a year old, and she can almost call him daddy. You should stay and live a good life with Ze'er. I can see that you two like each other."
"You are mistaken." Qi Yuning said, "But if you do me a favor, I don't have to divorce you."
Princess Pingrou asked, "What can I do for you?"
Qi Yuning said: "I know that the new princess listens to you very much. How about you help me match her with my brother?"
Princess Pingrou smiled and said, "This is not difficult."
Princess Pingrou did what she said. Ah Ping did not have much hatred towards Qi Yu'an, and with Yuan Ge'er around, the two of them picked an auspicious day nearby to get married.
In order to save Princess Pingrou's face, Qi Yuning no longer mentioned the divorce. In addition to Princess Pingrou's face, there was also the fact that Lingling was sick every other day.
When Qi Yuning was pregnant with Lingling, she did not take good care of the baby, causing Lingling to be weak and sickly since birth. Qi Yuning had no interest in making trouble with Lu Ze, and the days went on like this.
It was not until Chen Nian asked to leave the palace that Empress Dowager Zhou wanted Zhou Jiamin to marry Lu Yun. Chen Nian's father was a loyal hero of the Qi family army, so Qi Yuning naturally had to make the decision for Chen Nian.
Qi Yuning walked into Lu Ze's study room with a fierce momentum and said in a stern voice: "The eldest lady of the Zhou family has become your aunt, and I didn't expect that you still care about the Zhou family so much and force Shen Nian to leave so that you can give the position of the county princess to your sweetheart's sister!"
"Yuning, Yun'er hasn't woken up yet. State affairs are so busy that I'm already tired enough. Please stop being unreasonable!"
"I am being unreasonable, but you, the Lu family, are so virtuous. How dare you bully a loyal and brave woman like this?"
"Why don't you go and ask Shen Nian what good things she has done first? Then come to her rescue."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "You still owe me a divorce letter. Let's get a divorce!"
Lu Ze frowned and looked at Qi Yuning and said, “Can you please stop making trouble? Is it so difficult to live a good life? Are you going to make trouble with me just for Shen Nian?”
Qi Yuning said: "If it weren't for Father Shen Nian, my fourth uncle's body would have been humiliated. What do you mean by for a Shen Nian? And you already owe me a divorce letter!"
Lu Ze sighed lightly, stood up and left home, going to find Qin Feng to drink. When the drunk Lu Ze returned home, Qi Yuning and Lingling were gone. He then realized that Qi Yuning had really left this time.
"That's right. She didn't really want to marry me from the beginning. It's been more than a year. It's time for her to leave."
"Without a divorce letter, she can't be tied down."
Lu Ze laughed at himself, holding the jade pendant Qi Yuning gave him in his hand and stroking it gently.
Lu Ze sighed lightly, went to find Lu Yun who had just woken up and said, "Can you go and coax Shen Nian back?"
Lu Yun coughed several times and said, "No way, big brother? Do you know what good things Shen Nian has done? She aborted my child, and she left as soon as she said she would. Do I have to coax her back?"
Lu Ze said: “If Shen Nian doesn’t come back, she won’t come back either.”
Lu Yun asked: "So you are going to abandon your brother for Ningning?"
Lu Ze said sternly: "Lu Yun, you are not allowed to call her Ningning!" (End of this chapter)
