After Xu Wanqing left the palace, she hired a carriage and headed towards Lu Mingxuan's house.
At this moment, Lu Mingxuan was lying motionless on the bed, while his mother, Sun, was sitting beside him with a tired look on her face, staring at her son.
After a long time, she sniffed.
When she first knew that her son had married a young lady from an official family, she had anticipated this day.
However, later on, the girl's dependence on her son made her completely let down her guard.
Even, like Mingxuan, he was looking forward to them getting married soon and bringing glory to the Dalu family.
Especially, a few days ago, Mingxuan told her that Master Shen was going to meet him alone. She was happy from the bottom of her heart, thinking that her son was finally going to make a name for himself.
However, just a few days after the good news came, her son was beaten half to death by the Xu family before he had the chance to see Master Shen.
Originally, today was the day for his son to see Master Shen, but, he could only lie in bed like a living dead.
"Xu family, how can you be so cruel? Even if you don't agree with the two children, you can't harm my son."
"My son has worked hard for so many years and is about to succeed. You are killing him by treating him like this!"
Sun couldn't help but burst into tears. At this moment, she wanted to kill everyone in the Xu family.
Especially, Xu Wanqing.
"Bitch, bitch!"
Sun screamed madly and smashed things continuously, and the house was instantly in a mess.
Xu Wanqing arrived at the Lu family's door with her heart as fast as an arrow.
She had just come out of the East Palace and felt a little uncomfortable looking at the slightly low house in front of her.
However, thinking of Lu Mingxuan, she did not hesitate and went forward to knock on the door.
Sun listened to the voice, wiped the tears from her face, walked calmly to the door and opened it.
When Sun saw the person outside the door, a ferocious look appeared on his face for a moment.
However, she soon realized Xu Wanqing's identity. If she really did anything to Xu Wanqing, the Xu family would not let her go.
Rather than both sides suffering losses, it is better to... plan carefully.
"Wan...Wanqing, you're here."
As he spoke, tears rolled down his face.
"Aunt, where's Mingxuan? Where's Mingxuan? Did he see the letter I sent?"
Xu Wanqing hurriedly wanted to go inside.
Sun wiped her tears and shook her head, "He didn't see it."
Xu Wanqing was stunned. "Why? Is he still angry with me? I didn't mean it. I..."
"Wanqing, stop talking and go in and see him."
Xu Wanqing was full of doubts and strode into the inner room. The moment she saw Lu Mingxuan, she collapsed to the ground.
The person lying there motionless with a bruised face and blood coming out of the corner of his mouth...is it Mingxuan?
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Xu Wanyan couldn't believe what she saw.
"Wanqing, originally, I shouldn't have let you in today, but I thought, maybe you don't know."
Xu Wanyan stared at her with wide eyes and shook her head, "I really don't know, who did this?"
Sun sighed, sat next to Lu Mingxuan, and tucked the corner of the quilt for him.
"Two servants from the Grand Tutor's Mansion brought him back and told me that if I went to look for you again, I would have no son."
After saying this, Sun started to cry.
Xu Wanyan couldn't believe it, "Grand Tutor's Mansion? Who is that?"
Sun shook her head. "As a woman, I don't know who they are. However, the person who can prevent me from seeing my son must be someone extraordinary."
"Boom~"
Xu Wanqing's mind exploded like thunder.
It’s Dad, it must be Dad. Mom has known about Mingxuan’s existence for a long time, but she has never done anything to hurt Mingxuan.
Only Dad, he just knew about Mingxuan, and Mingxuan is like this.
Thinking of this, Xu Wanqing's eyes showed a bit more hatred.
Sun looked at her expression and lamented, "Originally, today was the day Mingxuan was going to see Master Shen, but now, he can only lie down."
"Aunt, I will definitely give you an explanation about this."
After saying that, she was about to stand up.
Sun grabbed her and shook her head in despair. "Forget it, Wanqing. You are a noble lady from an official family, and he is just a useless scholar."
"This experience makes me, as a mother... my heart bleeds. I have no other wishes now but to hope that my son can recover soon. As for you, you should break up as soon as possible."
Xu Wanqing was horrified. "Broken? How could it be broken? It can't be broken!"
Xu Wanqing is such a person. The more you ask her to do something, the more she will go against it.
Sun was secretly happy, but her face still showed pain.
"Wanqing, please let Mingxuan go. He's unconscious this time, but next time, he might even lose his life."
Suddenly, Sun knelt down in front of Xu Wanqing and said, "I'm kneeling down for you. Just consider it as my plea. Please forgive him."
"No, I won't. This time, I won't let it go."
After saying that, Xu Wanqing turned and ran out.
Sun slowly stood up, looked at the beautiful figure getting farther and farther away, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"Miss, there's a commotion up ahead."
Xu Wanyan smiled lightly, finally what she had been waiting for came.
"Let's go and take a look."
Qiao Yun was a little surprised. Didn't the young lady usually avoid him? Why did she...
"Don't be surprised, your young lady is also a lively person."
Qiao Yun was confused. Is this true?
Why does she feel that the young lady likes quietness the most?
"Let's go, the lady said to go take a look, let's go take a look."
Xichun persuaded her, and Qiaoyun nodded, "Okay."
The three of them staggered to Mingzhu Garden, where Xu Maocai and Zhao Yaru were both there.
Xu Wanqing was lying on the ground, waving and kicking with her hands and feet. The ground beside her was littered with cups, stools, and various utensils.
Qiao Yun saw it and felt pain in her heart, because her mistress didn't have such a good thing.
The young lady actually didn't cherish it at all and smashed it all over the floor. It's outrageous!
"Father, mother, sister, what happened?"
Xu Wanyan's words were heard in the room, and Xu Maocai and Zhao Yaru turned around and saw it.
Zhao Yaru was a little panicked, while Xu Maocai was completely disgusted.
However, neither of them paid any attention to Xu Wanyan.
Xu Wanyan didn't get annoyed and walked inside on her own.
"Sister, hurry up and get up. It's going to snow outside again. You'll catch a cold lying on the ground. What should I do?"
As she said this, she reached out to help.
"Don't help her, just let her lie there. She deserves to freeze to death."
"Master, you..."
Zhao Yaru was a little unhappy. How could he treat her Wanqing like this?
"Father, please don't be angry. I'm going to the East Palace today. My sister is not feeling well..."
When the Eastern Palace was mentioned, Xu Maocai and Zhao Yaru immediately became excited. "Have you seen the prince?"
Xu Wanyan tilted her head and thought for a while, "I'm afraid my sister didn't see it, so she left early."
Xu Maocai's face changed and he kicked Xu Wanqing.
