Chapter 354: There is no room for negotiation
His voice was too cold, and he showed no sympathy for her sad crying since she returned home. This made Liu feel panic for the first time.
She no longer cared about the so-called marital love, nor did she expect Tang Quyan to be submissive and coax her. She lifted the quilt and ran to her barefoot.
"Husband, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by that? Your future with Chongli is ruined?"
Tang Quyan was disappointed again when he saw Liu, who was still feeling lucky and hadn't seen the situation clearly.
"In the yard over there, have they already started counting the dowry?"
Liu nodded stiffly, and Nanny Xu still came to the Tang Mansion with her.
But she had always thought that this was Lu Xinlan's way of forcing her to surrender, so after bringing Madam Xu to the Tang residence, she left her to the servants around her to deal with and paid no more attention to her.
"Now, the dowry has been loaded onto the truck and is being pulled out of the house piece by piece."
"What?"
Liu screamed and ran a few steps outside. The biting cold penetrated into her body from the soles of her feet, and she finally came to her senses and realized that she had not put on her coat or socks.
"This is outrageous, this is really outrageous, they actually dared to take away the dowry!"
She called the servants to help her change her clothes, then hurried out and headed straight for Lu Xinlan's yard.
Until this moment, she still didn't want to believe that Lu Xinlan really wanted to divorce, and in her heart she still felt that this move towards her was to force her to submit.
In Lu's mansion, as soon as Lu Jinchuan entered the house, he was invited to Zhaoyun Courtyard by the servants of Pei.
He had forgotten how long it had been since he had enjoyed such treatment. He walked in with a square step, his shoulders shaking as he entered the room.
"What did you call me for?"
He went straight to the main seat as soon as he entered the room. After sitting down, he did not forget to signal the servants to pour tea for him, acting like the head of the family.
Pei was concerned about Lu Xinlan's marriage and was too lazy to argue with him, so she just pretended not to notice his pretense.
"Miss Xinlan returned home today and said she wanted to divorce Tang Chongli. Madam Tang also came today and it looked like she was very dissatisfied with Xinlan. A forced marriage is not a happy one. I have already agreed to the divorce."
Poof!
All the tea that Lu Jinchuan had just drunk came out.
He had just eaten a big melon of the Tang Mansion outside the Qingxin Palace. Because the things that Lu Xinran mentioned in her heart afterwards were so fascinating, he actually ignored why she was so disrespectful to Tang Quyan.
He quickly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the corner of his lips, then angrily shouted "nonsense".
"How can you get a divorce right after getting married? Isn't this going to make enemies with the Tang family?"
"I don't care whether we are enemies or not. Since Xin Lan wants to divorce, I can't bear to see her suffer in the Tang Mansion. I called you here not to discuss with you, but just to inform you."
Pei's words were very domineering, causing Lu Jinchuan to glare at her for a long time.
"No, this matter is non-negotiable. If she dares to divorce me regardless of everything, she should not return to my Lu Mansion and should not use the surname Lu anymore."
Things are changing a lot in the court right now, and the emperor's health is failing again and again.
Lu Xinran has repeatedly asserted that the emperor will not live until the end of the year... At such a critical juncture, he has not yet figured out how to assist Song Junyan, so how could he become enemies with Tang Quyan before all his plans have even begun.
Pei sneered: "In your eyes, there is only the glory and wealth of your Lu family, and everyone can be used and calculated by you.
"But I am different from you. I cannot just sit there and watch my granddaughter being wronged and tortured.
"If she wants a divorce, I'll let her do it. Do you think she'll mind not using your Lu family's surname?"
Pei wanted to say, stop flattering yourself, because people never cared about your identity as a girl from the Lu family.
Lu Jinchuan was speechless for a long time after being confronted by her. "You don't care? When she married into the Tang family, all the rich dowry she had was provided by my Lu family. I can live a prosperous life now thanks to my Lu family. I have been raised by my Lu family for so many years. How can it be written off just by saying I don't want this surname?"
After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out to the study in the front yard without looking back.
Pei looked at his departing back and sighed softly in her heart.
If that girl wants to divorce...it may not be easy.
In the Prince of Wei's Mansion, Lu Xinran was studying Yunsong's past with Lu Xinlan.
"How can this person hide himself so well?"
Many of these past events seem to have nothing to do with each other, as if they were written casually.
It doesn't make sense to say that he had been on guard against others guessing his thoughts from the beginning.
After all, if he knew such a weird thing as the system's thoughts early on, it would be too outrageous.
"Fortunately," Lu Xinran couldn't figure it out, so he just stopped thinking about it, stood up and stretched his waist: "Fortunately he is going to die, otherwise he would sell us out with such deep scheming and tricks, and we would have to help him count the banknotes."
"Are you sure he doesn't have much time left?"
If the plot and layout can be concealed, can the physical condition be concealed as well?
At this time, Lu Xinlan was full of doubts about everything about Yunsong.
Lu Xinran nodded: "He really didn't lie about this. He really did die after finishing the bottle of medicine."
And now he has to take medicine every day. Even if there are magical powers in the medicine bottle, it is not enough to keep him alive for a long time.
While the two were talking, Song Junyan, who had gone outside the mansion to see the little beggar, walked into the room holding a letter.
Lu Xinran immediately stepped forward, took the letter, took out the letter paper and unfolded it.
"He actually blamed us for not taking this opportunity to reveal his relationship with the Emperor!"
After quickly scanning the letter, Lu Xinran handed the letter to Lu Xinlan in silence.
They say that a hawk doesn't jump out of the bag until it sees the rabbit. They haven't seen any benefits, so why should they take the opportunity to reveal this dusty secret?
"He has as many people in the palace as he said, more than we can imagine."
Song Junyan had read the letter on the way back, and at this moment he was filled with shock.
They had just left the palace not long ago, but Yunsong already knew everything that had happened in the palace.
So fast and so precise, how unfathomable are his arrangements in the palace?
Lu Xinlan was the last one to finish reading the letter. She walked silently to the brazier and threw the letter into it.
