Not only him, but the Xu brothers, Xu Cheng and Xu Lin, weren't much better off. Xu Lin, in particular, was sweating profusely.
He tumbled off his horse and stammered to Dongli Lu Cang, "Yes, yes, I'm sorry. I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I offended the Regent. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Second cousin, there's no need for that. You are Zhizhi's family, which means you are my family too. We're all family, so let's not be so formal."
Lu Cang of Dongli smiled and reached out to help Xu Lin up.
Xu Lin was flattered and quickly thanked him.
Seeing that Lu Cang of Dongli was so unpretentious, Xu Liang and his son Xu Cheng exchanged a glance, and their anxiety subsided.
However, the proper etiquette still had to be observed, so the two greeted Dong Li Lu Cang.
"This humble subject, Xu Liang (Xu Cheng), greets Your Highness."
Before the two could kneel down, Dongli Lu Cang helped them up and said, "No need for formalities, no need for formalities."
The two glanced at Yunzhi before standing up.
They weren't stupid; they knew that Lu Cang of Dongli treated them this way entirely because of Yun Zhi.
Yunzhi was deeply moved by Dongli Lu Cang's attitude towards the Xu family. Given Dongli Lu Cang's status, he didn't really need to act this way, and no one would have said anything.
But he placed himself on the same level as her, treating her elders as his own and her family as his own. This was not only out of respect for her, but also because he truly cared for her.
"Your Highness, Uncle, it's getting late. Let's not waste any more time and set off back to the capital."
"Alright!" Dongli Lu Cang nodded, and in order not to disturb Yunzhi and the Xu family's reunion, he said with a smile, "I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he mounted his horse and turned to the Xu family members, saying, "I will be waiting for you in the capital."
"Your Highness, please take care!"
Watching Dongli Lu Cang ride away, Xu Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Dongli Lu Cang was very approachable, he still felt immense pressure.
In addition, he had just fought with the other party. Although he didn't hit anyone, he still made a move.
"Zhizhi, get in the carriage with me." Xu Liang withdrew his gaze, glanced at Yunzhi, and walked towards his carriage.
Yunzhi silently followed behind Xu Liang, thinking about how to explain things to them in a way that would help them better accept her decision to divorce.
Although she wasn't a daughter of the Xu family, she was raised by them from childhood. If news of her divorce reached Jiangnan, people would surely gossip and even question the upbringing of the Xu family's daughter.
Xu Cheng and Xu Lin also stopped riding horses and followed behind their father, intending to squeeze into the carriage.
They also wanted to know why Yunzhi had divorced.
Although Yun Cheng didn't inform Yun Zhi when he found her a husband, the prestigious Dingyuan Marquis's family was a great catch for both the Yun and Xu families.
But now Yunzhi has divorced Marquis Dingyuan, and they want to know why.
"What's wrong?" Jiang asked, puzzled as she saw her husband get into the carriage with a pale face. He was perfectly fine just a moment ago; how could his expression have changed so drastically in such a short time?
Xu Liang didn't speak, but turned to Yunzhi, who was standing in front of the carriage, and said, "Get on!"
Not only did Yunzhi get into the carriage, but the two Xu brothers did too.
Jiang was even more puzzled when she saw everyone getting onto the carriage, and looked at her husband with a questioning gaze.
