Su Xuerong was stunned, her eyes narrowing: "Madam Zeng..."
Yes, in his previous life, after his death, the Ge family claimed that he died of illness.
She was so startled that she broke out in a cold sweat.
What kind of life did Zeng Ling lead in the Ge family that ultimately led her to attempt suicide...?
Seeing her worried expression, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but say, "You asked me to help them get a divorce the other day, but I was thinking that Ge Laosan would have to come back and handle it himself..."
Su Xuerong frowned and stared at him.
"But don't get me wrong, after you reminded me last time, I sent my secret guards to the Ge family to protect her..."
"Then she committed suicide?"
“That’s Ge Laosan’s own business. Zeng Ling only acted rashly after he returned to the Ge family…” Xiao Yuan hurriedly said, “If he weren’t here, my men would have rescued her!”
Su Xuerong frowned deeply: "Why?"
Xiao Yuan glanced at her, somewhat guilty, and said, "This is Ge Laosan's own doing. He... he brought back a pregnant songstress this time..."
Su Xuerong exclaimed in disbelief and anger, "Shameless scoundrel!"
No wonder Zeng Ling mustered up the courage to ask me for help that day; the Ge family was simply a pit of fire.
How similar this is to her experience in her previous life!
She immediately jumped out of Xiao Yuan's arms, and Xiao Yuan quickly grabbed her, asking, "Where are you going?"
"I'll go check on Zeng Ling!"
"Don't you know what time it is?" Xiao Yuan regretted mentioning Ge Laosan's family affairs to her; he hadn't expected her to be so impulsive.
With red eyes, Su Xuerong wiped away her tears and said to Xiao Yuan, "Then you go!"
Xiao Yuan pointed to himself, looking puzzled: "Me...go?"
What can he do there?
"Send someone to the Ge family right now and make them divorce!" Su Xuerong said angrily.
Ge Laosan is a complete bastard!
If he weren't Xiao Yuan's capable assistant, she would have wanted Xiao Yuan to send him directly to the northwest border!
Xiao Yuan looked helpless: "Arong, this is Ge Huai'an's family matter. Although I am a prince, I cannot interfere in other people's marriages at will..."
Su Xuerong immediately glared at him: "Xiao Yuan, are you going or not? If you're not going, don't come looking for me again! I'll go by myself."
He started to run outside as he spoke.
Xiao Yuan quickly grabbed her waist and nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I... I'll go, alright?"
He walked out with a helpless expression.
Su Xuerong felt very uneasy.
Xiao Yuan was originally supposed to arrange for Zeng Ling and Ge Laosan to divorce, but he insisted on waiting until Ge Laosan returned before doing so.
However, it was Ge Laosan's return that almost led to a tragedy.
"Wait, I'm going too!"
She lifted her skirt and hurriedly chased after him.
"What are you doing so late?" Xiao Yuan asked, somewhat annoyed.
What time is it? What kind of young woman is she, meddling in other people's business so late at night?
Are you worried that her reputation isn't good enough?
Su Xuerong glanced at her skirt, thought for a moment, and said, "Have Song San give me a set of bodyguard clothes."
Xiao Yuan looked at her.
"Are you going to yell or not?" Su Xuerong looked up at the roof, about to speak, when Xiao Yuan covered her mouth.
"Grandma, do you want your whole family to know I'm here?"
Su Xuerong pulled his hand away and sneered, "Oh, so you know how to have a sense of shame now? Then you... sob sob sob..."
Xiao Yuan quickly covered her mouth again and immediately whistled twice into the shadows.
A dark figure silently leaped down and knelt before Xiao Yuan: "Your Highness!"
"I heard everything. Go and get your wife a set of clothes."
Song San, his face still covered, couldn't help but glance at Su Xuerong before standing up and saying, "Yes!"
Is Your Highness spoiling Lady Su like this?
The Ge family.
Ge Huai'an was sitting in the bridal chamber where he and Zeng Ling had married, looking at Zeng Ling on the bed, who was so thin that she had almost become a skeleton.
She lay quietly on the bed, staring blankly at the bed curtains above her head.
At that moment, Ge Huai'an felt a guilt he had never felt before, and couldn't help but whisper, "Ling'er, I promise you, once Liyun gives birth to the child, I will send her away..."
Zeng Ling did not react.
“If you still can’t accept her now, I… I’ll settle her in a village on the outskirts of the city…”
Zeng Ling remained unresponsive, her lifeless eyes devoid of any light, like a puppet doll that had lost its soul.
"Ling'er, if you're still not satisfied, I promise you I'll never bring anyone into the manor again..."
The Ge family and the Zeng family were old friends many years ago. Ten years ago, the Zeng family moved north, but the two families still corresponded.
Until last year, the head of the Zeng family mentioned the betrothal that the two families had arranged for their children to become children.
The matriarch of the Ge family gave birth to three sons. The eldest son died young, and the second son wandered the world after learning Taoism in his early years, with no intention of getting married.
The only person who fits the agreement between the two families back then is Ge Huai'an.
But Ge Huai'an was a playboy who frequented brothels, the kind of person who could pass through countless flowers without getting a single petal on him.
Three months ago, before Zeng Ling came to Hangzhou from the north to marry, Madam Ge ordered him to send all the women in his backyard to the suburban estate.
Ge Huai'an therefore felt a deep disgust for Zeng Ling.
From their wedding night onwards, he deliberately ignored Zeng Ling, actually wanting her to see her situation clearly.
Since she's determined to become a wife of the Ge family, she has to obey him obediently, and he can't have any objections to whomever he wants to take in the future.
While he was away on business, he took a fancy to a courtesan named Lan at a banquet. He drank a little too much and ended up sleeping with her. After they finished, Lan came crying and said she was pregnant.
