"Let's get a divorce."
The man threw a bloody divorce letter in Gu Yunran's face.
After twenty years of marriage, this man was still as cold to her as ever, his voice icy without a trace of warmth.
A red mark was left on Gu Yunran's pale cheek. She closed her eyes tightly for a long time, then opened them, took a deep breath, raised her bony hand, and tremblingly picked up the divorce papers. She asked, "Why?"
For twenty years, she had been cautious, using the power of her father, the Prime Minister, and her grandfather, the Duke of Zhenguo, to push Lu Qingzhou, a poor scholar, step by step to the throne of the Marquis.
After a lifetime of hard work, at the age of 35, his face is already covered with wrinkles, he is plagued by illness, and his legs are disabled. He will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
"Gu Yunran, marrying you is not my wish. Mei Niang and I have been childhood sweethearts and we love each other. Now you have occupied the position of wife for twenty years. It is time to return it to Mei Niang."
Gu Yunran then looked at the woman behind Lu Qingzhou. The woman was about the same age as her. She was wearing a brocade dress, had black hair, and a rosy complexion. She looked well-maintained and looked much younger than her.
Mei Niang tugged at Lu Qingzhou's sleeve and whispered, "Forget it. I've worked hard for the Lu family for most of my life. I don't want the position of the first wife anymore."
The man held the woman's hand and said, "How can that be? You gave birth to my children and suffered so much outside. I wronged you before because I didn't have a stable position. Now that I have the ability, I will never break my promise to you."
"Besides, I have no feelings for her."
"good."
The woman snuggled in the man's arms. Although she was old, she still looked shy, and her eyes were full of provocation as she looked at Gu Yunran.
Gu Yunran was so angry that she was shaking all over. "You two bastards, get out of here!"
"Bitch, how dare you bully my mother!"
A young man rushed in from the door and slapped Gu Yunran in the face. He glared at her with angry eyes as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Gu Yunran was stunned and his whole body was stiff!
She stared blankly at the boy in front of her, almost unable to recognize him.
This was the child she had raised with great difficulty, and she thought he was there to support her.
"Lu Changzhi, I am your mother!" Gu Yunran shouted angrily.
She was shaking with anger.
Anyone can let her down, but Lu Changzhi cannot. When Lu Changzhi was first brought to the Marquis' Mansion, he was as thin as hay, infected with smallpox, and was about to die.
It was she who knelt on the ground for three days and three nights to invite a doctor, and took care of him without taking off her clothes, risking infection and death, and finally snatched his life from the hands of death.
Because of this, Gu Yunran was also infected with smallpox and almost lost his life.
Unexpectedly, Lu Changzhi smiled coldly: "Oh, mother?"
He pointed at the woman in Lu Qingzhou's arms and said, "She is my mother. She carried me for ten months and gave birth to me. Who do you think you are?"
"You are nothing but a vicious, evil woman!"
"For so many years, you have restricted me in every way. If I don't do what you want, you punish me. You won't let me marry the girl I like, and you insist on making me marry some noble lady. I hate you so much!"
"Luckily, my biological mother loves me and doesn't force me to read boring books. She gives me money when I go to brothels, and she also marries the girl I like and brings her home for me."
Gu Yunran closed her eyes, but two lines of tears still flowed down her cheeks. She raised him like her own son with great difficulty, disciplined him strictly and helped him to become a successful person, but in the end, it became a reason for him to hate her.
"Well, just think that I, Gu Yunran, am blind and have raised a litter of ungrateful people." Gu Yunran opened his eyes, his expression unable to discern emotion.
She held the divorce papers in her hand, supported the wheelchair with both hands and stood up shakily.
"From now on, I will sever all ties with the Lu family!"
"Zhuye, come in and help me out."
She wants to leave Marquis Lu's Mansion.
But after shouting a few times, there was no sign of Zhuye, and Gu Yunran had a bad feeling.
"What did you do to the bamboo leaves?"
"Zhuye is dead." Old Madam Lu came in, followed by her brother-in-law holding Zhuye's head and throwing it in front of Gu Yunran.
Gu Yunran's body stiffened. He was stunned for a long time before he roared, "You are so cruel!"
She now sees clearly the true face of this family. They climbed to a high position by relying on her wisdom and family background. Now that her family has fallen into decline and her grandfather is dead, she has lost her usefulness, and this family has revealed its true face!
"It's too late to understand now."
The mother-in-law looked at Gu Yunran with disdain, a hint of malice flashing in her eyes. "My Lu family has always valued its reputation. If you leave, won't the whole world laugh at my Lu Marquis Mansion?"
"So, you can't leave!"
“There are only widows in my Lu family!”
She turned to the person behind her and ordered, "Why don't you do it quickly?"
"yes!"
Two strong men walked in from outside, tied up Gu Yunran with a rope, and hit Gu Yunran with sticks as thick as fingers.
Gu Yunran wanted to struggle but couldn't. She looked for help at Lu Qingzhou, the man she had loved for twenty years.
Lu Qingzhou turned his head away as if he didn't see it, but he put his arm around Fan Meiniang's shoulders and considerately covered her eyes with his hands.
"Mei Niang, don't scare you."
I am extremely sad.
Gu Yunran couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears, but her mouth was blocked and she couldn't shout out.
The brother-in-law and sister-in-law also came to help. They took knives and chopped off Gu Yunran's hands and feet, turning her into a human pig.
"So what if she's the daughter of the Prime Minister? Your father colluded with the treacherous minister Mu Qianchen to rebel and has been executed."
"Your grandfather, the Duke of Zhenguo, died on the frontier during the Anti-Japanese War!"
"Gu Yunran, you've been showing off your power in our Marquis Lu's Mansion for twenty years. I never thought this would be your end!"
Gu Yunran was lying in a pool of blood, with hatred in her eyes. She knew that her grandfather had died fighting on the frontier, but she never expected that her father would rebel?
So that’s it!
They could kill her so recklessly? !
"Hurry up and throw her into the mass grave! Don't let her die in the Marquis' Mansion, it's unlucky!" Old Madam Lu said with disgust.
"Announce to the public tomorrow that Madam Gu Yunran of the Marquis' Mansion has passed away due to illness!"
