The passion of youth, to this day, is not completely gone, but there is very little left.
Xu Zekun also has his own pride. Since the county lord agreed to let him take a concubine, it also means that he has no status in her heart at all.
Late that night, Xu Zekun first began to think about divorcing the county lord.
He knew that the person in her heart was not him, so if that was the case, he might as well let her go free.
But even so, how could divorce be so easy?
Apart from anything else, her parents would be the first to object. Even though her mother had some complaints about Yanran, if the word "divorce" came out, it would definitely cause chaos.
Moreover, there is the Imperial Concubine behind Yanran, who is quite favored by the Emperor. Although the Emperor's favor has faded a little in the past two years, she still has the Emperor's eldest son.
Thinking back to that palace banquet, Xu Zekun was not a fool. At that time, the queen had just given birth to a son. At the hundred-day banquet, he was involved with the imperial concubine's sister. The driving force behind it must have been the imperial concubine.
She wanted to find a support for her son, and the emperor did not want to see the queen's family dominate. He naturally valued the legitimate son, but he valued the stability of his throne more.
This was the emperor's method of checks and balances, and his Ningyuan Marquisate had no intention of being involved in these intrigues, but ultimately fell into the mud and became a part of it.
The current situation is still stable, because both the eldest prince born to the imperial concubine and the third prince born to the empress are still too young, and the emperor has not yet decided who to oppose as the crown prince, so both the empress and the imperial concubine are cautious in their actions.
But what about when they grow up? Although the Ningyuan Marquisate has always remained neutral and not participated in these party disputes.
But since he married the county lady, he had established an invisible connection with the eldest prince.
Xu Zekun suddenly felt a headache. The imperial concubine had a really good plan.
He had to plan carefully and couldn't let party disputes destroy the century-old foundation of the Ningyuan Marquisate.

Yao Susu tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep much. She didn't look very good the next day, but she still forced herself to go to Shou'an Hall to serve Mrs. Wu.
Xu Zekun didn't like her, and it was foreseeable that her life in the mansion would not be easy. Her only option now was to cling tightly to the old lady, who was like a big tree.
Yao Susu has been living under someone else's roof for many years and has long known how to make her life better.
The old lady already knew that Xu Zekun had lost his temper in Baozhuxuan yesterday. No matter what, it was her decision to arrange for Yao to stay in Baozhuxuan, so Yao had suffered an unprovoked disaster.
"I'll arrange for someone to help you move to Yingxue Pavilion today." Yao Susu's eyelashes trembled, and she whispered, "I'll follow the old lady's instructions."
Mrs. Wu gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son had an eccentric temperament and the daughter was also fierce. Not to mention the daughter-in-law, let alone visiting her every morning and evening, the number of times she came to Shou'an Hall could be counted on one hand.
It was rare for her to meet someone as gentle as Yao Susu. Apart from anything else, coming to Shou'an Hall every day was also a source of companionship.
Seeing that Yao Susu looked unhappy, he said, "Go back and rest early."
Sometimes, I would ask my mother Zheng to pack a bag of ginseng slices for me, telling me to soak them in water and drink them to replenish my qi and blood.
Yao Susu was flattered. She thought about how the old lady had treated her very well since she entered the mansion. First, she asked someone to teach her etiquette, and then she helped her buy clothes and jewelry. The luxury of those things was something she had never seen before.
When she came to Shou'an Hall today, she was worried that the old lady would blame her for not pleasing Xu Zekun. Unexpectedly, the old lady not only did not blame her, but also gave her ginseng slices when she saw her bad complexion.
She felt the old lady's kindness towards her and naturally wanted to return the favor. She went back and found the most comfortable and soft fabrics from the old lady's gift, intending to make a few pairs of socks for her.
The other things will be made by the embroiderer, but she doesn’t know how to make anything too complicated, so she can only make a few pairs of thoughtful socks to express her gratitude.

The old lady acted quickly and Yingxue Pavilion was cleaned up in just one day. Yao Susu moved there with the jade screen and jade lamp.
In terms of location, Yingxue Pavilion is better than Baozhuxuan. At least it is not so remote. The flowers and trees in the yard are lush and green. Because it had just rained, the air is full of the fragrance of grass.
Baozhuxuan was restored to its original state. When Xu Zekun came back, Tongfu quickly reported it to him.
Somehow, when Xu Zekun heard the news, the first thing that came to his mind was Yao Susu's tearful eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, then responded.
When I came to Baozhuxuan again, it was exactly the same as I remembered, except that Xu Zekun was sitting at the desk, but he couldn't calm down.
There was always a faint fragrance floating around his nose. He was born with five senses superior to ordinary people, so he was very sensitive to smells. This fragrance was not like incense, nor was it the scent of flowers.
It was the smell of that woman.
Xu Zekun put the book down, stood up and went to the bookshelf to find another one.
I didn’t expect that the "Spring and Autumn Annals" that I read most often was nowhere to be found.
All his books were placed in order, so it wasn't his memory that was wrong, they were clearly taken away by someone!
As for who it is, it goes without saying.
Xu Zekun's eyes gradually became frost-covered, and he asked Tongfu, "Where is Yao now?"
"Huh?" Tongfu was a little confused. Wasn't the old man looking for a book? Why was he suddenly asking about Miss Yao again?
Why does it look like he's angry again?
"Master, Miss Yao is now living in Yingxue Pavilion."
_
In Yingxue Pavilion, because Yao Susu was a quiet person, Yuping and Yuzhan also worked quietly.
Xu Zekun's arrival disrupted the tranquility that had been there. Yuzhan saw that Xu Zekun looked unhappy, and her heart skipped a beat. Oh my god, where did this old man get angry? Why is he always so scary when he comes to see Miss Yao?
