Chapter 3 The Unsatisfied Tyrant
When Lu Yu came over, Fu Danjun was having breakfast.
She didn't go to pay her respects to her mother-in-law today, so she asked the kitchen to make it for her alone.
The carved red sandalwood door was kicked open from the outside.
Lan Fang followed behind him and tried to stop him, "My Lord, please calm down. Madam is having dinner."
The one who came in was Lu Yu with his eyes wide open!
"Fu, what did you do to Ah-Xu and Wu-Er?!"
Fu Danjun sat steadily at the dining table, but unexpectedly Lu Yu didn't just kick the door, he walked over and slapped her twice!
"Your Highness!" Lan Fang lost her voice and hurriedly stood in front of Fu Danjun.
People who practice martial arts have extremely strong hands, and these two slaps were merciless!
There was a burning pain on both cheeks, and soon two Five Finger Mountains appeared.
Fu Danjun suppressed his anger, clenched his fists tightly, and his nails dug into his palms, bringing out a continuous pain like a mountain.
"My Lord, can you tell me what I did?"
Lu Yu frowned and glared, "After Ah-Xiao returned, she had wounds on her knees and face, and she cried bitterly. Didn't you make her kneel down and even ordered someone to slap her? What's going on?"
Fu Danjun sneered, "The wound on her knee was caused by her kneeling on purpose. Not only her, but your children also saw it. As for the wound on her face, I don't know anything about it."
"Ms. Pei is crying not because I scolded her, but because the prince refused to divorce me and hand over the power of the family to her."
Lu Yu's face turned pale, filled with anger and shame at having his true feelings exposed.
"Although Ah-Xu is gentle, she is as tough as a reed. I will never kneel down for you for no reason!"
"Don't try to quibble and put the blame on her!"
Fu Danjun laughed: "My Lord, this is a frame-up!"
Lan Fang said anxiously, "I saw it too. As soon as Pei entered Danshu Garden, she knelt in front of the hall with her child, saying she couldn't bear to be separated from her flesh and blood, and insisted that our Madam give her the concubine's child to raise."
"I found it hilarious at the time. That concubine's child isn't our Madam's own, so why should our Madam raise him? Will that wolf cub bite us back when he grows up?"
The veins on Lu Yu's forehead were throbbing. "You cunning slave, Pei is not a concubine!"
He wanted to take action against Lan Fang.
Fu Danjun pulled Lan Fang away, stood in front of her, and sneered.
"If you're engaged, you're my wife. If you're elopement, you're my concubine. If you haven't gone through the three letters and six engagements in the capital to marry me, and you've never even seen me, your wife, what else could you be but a concubine?"
Lu Yu's face turned red as iron, "You..."
"Besides, I'm still young. If I want children, I can give them to myself. Why would I need someone else to give them to me? People's hearts are hidden in their belly. I don't mind living a long life."
"My Lord, you can call the other servants of Danshu Garden to ask them whether the facts are as I said. If so, I will demand an explanation for the two slap marks on my face."
Lu Yu called the nanny and all the servants from Danshu Garden.
No one was spared, including the groom, maid, cook and even the cleaning boy.
All the servants present were questioned, and it was confirmed that no one had seen Fu Danjun torture Pei.
Lu Yu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, his face burning with anger.
"My Lord, you should apologize to me," Fu Danjun emphasized.
Lu Yu couldn't bring himself to do that.
Xuchao values men, and Lu Yu grew up in luxury, surrounded by the stars. He was taught that the husband is the leader of the wife, and Pei Xi obeyed him in everything. How could she have ever seen Fu Danjun be so aggressive?
Fu Danjun: "According to the laws of the Xu Dynasty, if a husband wrongly accuses his wife of favoring a concubine, the wife can sue the husband for favoring the concubine over her."
"My husband, do you want to make this known to everyone?"
Lu Yu was forced to compromise: "..."
“I didn’t investigate the matter thoroughly and wrongly accused Madam.
I apologize to my wife here."
Fu Danjun nodded, "Then has the Marquis agreed to divorce me?"
Lu Yu's face suddenly became colorful. "This matter is serious. I need to discuss it with my mother."
Fu Danjun: "Then please hurry up, my Lord."
Lu Yu looked embarrassed.
He left with a huff, picking up his robe.
Lan Fang brought the medicine for wounds. Her face was pale, her eyes red, and she held Fu Danjun's face, applying the medicine while she cried.
"Madam, the wound on your face."
Fu Danjun shook his head. "It's okay."
After applying the medicine, Lan Fang said worriedly, "Madam, that Pei is not someone you can easily mess with."
"If she dares to use the self-torture trick to frame you, then what else can't she do?"
Fu Danjun sneered, "I've made it clear. Pei is not stupid. She wants the title of Marquis's wife, but asking directly will only annoy the Marquis. The Marquis has feelings for her anyway, so diverting the blame onto me will both make the Marquis dislike me and pity her and the child."
"But she hasn't realized yet that the Marquis's Mansion isn't as wealthy as she thought."
"If the Marquis can't find a reason to divorce me, then we can only divorce. After the divorce, life in the Marquis's mansion will be difficult."
Lan Fang was immediately proud when she heard this, "Of course, our wife is a famous wealthy businessman in Shangjing."
"It would be better to end this torturous life right away! But I am concerned about the young lady's reputation and will not let her be divorced!"
Fu Danjun chuckled, "Don't worry."
Just as she finished speaking, a servant came running in, "Madam, someone is coming from the palace."
Fu Danjun frowned, thinking that Xie Changsheng must want it again.
This tyrant was very energetic in his previous life, and it was rumored that it was common for him to have sex seven times a night.
However, she fainted before the seventh time, and was often scolded by him, which ruined her fun.
When she thought about it, her waist and legs felt weak.
Because of her reminder last time, Xie Changsheng asked Qiao Zhuang to dress her up and secretly bring her into the palace.
No one else in the house was alarmed.
At this moment, Lu Yu had no time to pay attention to Fu Danjun's affairs.
Even after apologizing to Fu Danjun, he still didn't believe that Pei Xi would lie.
Pei Xi was still sobbing, "My dear, what did my sister say? Did she agree to let me enter the mansion?"
Before entering the capital, Lu Yu had promised Pei Xi that he would marry her, and she believed it.
But it was already the second day, and Fu had not yet been driven out of the Marquis's Mansion.
Pei Xi couldn't hold back her temper, so she went to find Fu Danjun.
A few words revealed the true nature of the Fu family. It was not someone who was easy to get along with.
She said that whether she could become the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion depended entirely on whether she had the destiny.
Are you saying you're willing to separate from Lu Yu?
Then why is Lu Yu so hesitant?
Did you go back on your word because of Fu's beauty?
Seeing Pei Xi crying bitterly, Lu Yu had already forgotten that she had lied to him, and he felt so distressed that he didn't know what to do.
"That Fu family member is being unreasonable and refusing to give up her position. I, your husband, feel sorry for Ah-Xiao and don't want you to be his equal wife. But now, there's really nothing I can do..."
He took every word his mother said to him yesterday to heart.
The Fu family is a century-old wealthy family in Jiangnan. When she got married, she had 33 boxes of dowry alone.
However, the Marquis's Mansion had already declined before he went to war and existed in name only.
After Fu entered the mansion, she took charge of the household affairs. The mansion is now prosperous, all thanks to her dowry.
