"You?" An Xiuyuan was so angry that he pointed his finger at Rulan's nose, wanting to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.
What could he say? That she was being disrespectful? He was no longer her son-in-law.
Rulan gently brushed aside An Xiuyuan's hand that was pointing at her, and asked with a smile, "Lord An, you didn't come here today because you want the antidote, did you? Let me tell you, you can have the antidote, but you'll have to kneel down and kowtow to my young lady and admit that you were blind."
In the past, for the sake of his future happiness, he would have knelt down and begged Yunzhi, no matter how unwilling he was. After all, he didn't want to be a eunuch for the rest of his life.
But now, he has encountered Qiu Feng, who can cure the poison in his body. At worst, he can just wait three more days, so asking him to kneel before Yun Zhi is absolutely out of the question.
As for Rulan's statement that they are blind to talent, perhaps so.
He admitted that Yunzhi was indeed a little better than Zhen'er. If it had been Zhen'er's cousin who got divorced, she would definitely have remarried down in status.
In other respects, however, he felt that his cousin Zhen'er was a hundred times better than Yunzhi. This was because Zhen'er would depend on him and treat him as her everything. She would listen to him in everything without the slightest reluctance.
But Yunzhi was different. She was strong-willed and unruly; she never took him seriously. Otherwise, she wouldn't have demanded a divorce without even pleading when she learned he was going to demote her to a concubine.
"You are insulting me!" An Xiuyuan was furious and immediately put on his official airs.
"You're only just realizing that? If you don't want to be humiliated, fine, then be a eunuch for life." Rulan looked at An Xiuyuan with a mocking expression, then said to Yunzhi, "Miss, let's go back to the manor. It's getting late, and I'm hungry."
“Okay, let’s go.” Yunzhi nodded, not glancing at An Xiuyuan again.
Watching Yunzhi's carriage pass by and enter the mansion, An Xiuyuan clenched his fists. He vowed that once he turned his life around, he would make Yunzhi pay.
So what if she climbed the social ladder by marrying the Regent? What's there to be proud of? The empire will always belong to the Emperor. The day the Emperor takes back the Regent's power will be the day the Regent and Yunzhi die.
Unfortunately, Yunzhi didn't understand and thought she had latched onto a powerful figure.
With these thoughts in mind, An Xiuyuan's anger subsided considerably. He then boarded his carriage and returned to his residence.
Wang Yuzhen knew when An Xiuyuan would leave for work, and seeing that he hadn't returned for a long time, she couldn't help but worry. Therefore, she instructed her maid to stand guard at the main gate, and to report back to her as soon as An Xiuyuan returned.
The maid was also quite capable; upon seeing An Xiuyuan return, she specifically inquired with the coachman where he had gone.
Therefore, when she went back to report, she also told her about An Xiuyuan going to see Yunzhi.
Upon learning that An Xiuyuan had not returned after leaving his post and had instead gone to find Yunzhi, Wang Yuzhen's face turned ashen.
In the past, she was confident she could hold onto An Xiuyuan's heart and prevent him from even glancing at Yunzhi. But ever since that day An Xiuyuan hit her, she had begun to doubt her feelings for him.
She felt that An Xiuyuan didn't love her as much as he claimed, otherwise why would he have the heart to hit her?
She was angry, but she couldn't take it out on An Xiuyuan. Otherwise, she would only push him further away.
Therefore, she forced herself to calm down, then personally cooked two side dishes and delivered them to An Xiuyuan's courtyard.
