"Your Li'er is about to marry someone else, but unfortunately her reputation isn't good. I wonder if the other person likes her. Zongzheng Shen, didn't you like Bai Li? How does it feel to be abandoned by her?" Lu Qingyan, dressed in a light palace dress, came specifically to see Zongzheng Shen's down-and-out appearance.
"Give me back Li'er, give me back Li'er..." Upon hearing this, Zongzheng Shen struggled like a madman, his eyes bloodshot. Jun Jiuxian and Lu Qingyan hadn't taken his life, but they hadn't given him the respect he deserved either, leaving him to live in this dark, sunless water dungeon every day, only able to endure it by thinking of his beloved. Every day he cursed and wept, lamenting that Jun Jiuxian had stolen his lover.
When Lu Qingyan saw Zongzheng Shen, who was disheveled and dirty, she finally felt a surge of anger.
Lu Qingyan smiled with her head down. Zongzheng Shen's harem had been disbanded. In everyone's eyes, Zongzheng Shen was no longer there. The Lu family had also contributed to the rise of the new emperor, so the Lu family would not fall easily.
The system succinctly summarized: [Task complete. You will remain in this world by default.]
Jun Jiuxian didn't know what was going on. Perhaps it was because he had more responsibilities and more things on his mind after becoming emperor. Lu Qingyan had to wait ten days or half a month to see him.
Lu Qingyan clutched her collar at her chest: "Tong'er, is he trying to abandon me?"
【Owner……】
Lu Qingyan waved her hand: "Forget it, don't say anything more. I'm running away from home right now."
Fennel hurriedly went to prepare the carriage.
As the carriage carrying Lu Qingyan traveled along the winding roads of the capital, a woman with a sallow complexion was being beaten by a fierce old woman who was grabbing her hair and pulling her shoes while the old woman was cursing her. The woman cried helplessly, and a man stood in front of her, protecting her fiercely.
Lu Qingyan almost didn't recognize Bai Li. In just a few months, she had been tormented to the point of looking like a completely different person, much older, with empty eyes, lost in thought.
In fact, Bai Li was still somewhat confused and regretful. If she had stayed quietly in Jun Jiuxian's mansion back then, she would be the empress now. She wouldn't have been cursed by others, wouldn't have married a rude man, and would still be a flower cherished in the palm of someone's hand, without losing her reputation and her husband's love.
She didn't understand how things had come to this. Someone who used to be of higher status than her had now married her man, stolen her husband, and even gained the glory that should have been hers. Bai Li really didn't understand why things had turned out this way.
Everything between her and Zongzheng Shen was in the past. Even though she had refused his advances later, why didn't anyone understand her?
Lu Qingyan coldly stared at Bai Li. Even though her appearance and reputation had been ruined, a man still protected her. Especially since this man wasn't exactly a good person to begin with, yet he was willing to reform himself for her.
She waved to the person outside the carriage curtain and said, "Let's find someone to kill that white oriole. She's too strange. I'm not comfortable leaving her alive."
A familiar voice came from outside: "As long as my wife is happy, I will do anything. I just don't know what my wife wants in this outcome?"
Lu Qingyan chuckled dryly, "Hehe, I'm just too bored being alone, so I wanted to go for a walk in the suburbs."
"Is that so?" Jun Jiuxian narrowed his eyes: "I've been preparing for this for so long, and tomorrow is the coronation ceremony. If you dare to sneak away, I'll break your legs."
Lu Qingyan sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "Fine, fine, it's just about spending my whole life with you."
