Lu Qingqing had no idea how she got back to the Lu Mansion. She looked distraught. As soon as she got off the carriage, the second wife came to greet her. She grabbed Lu Qingqing's hand and smiled happily, as if she didn't notice anything was wrong with Lu Qingqing.
"Qingqing, you're back. How's everything going?"
"When can Chang Zhu return to the martial arts hall?"
Lu Qingqing glanced at the Second Madam blankly, then quickly looked away. She pried open the Second Madam's hand that was holding her arm and walked towards the mansion in a daze.
Not a word was said.
Mrs. Lu Er finally noticed that something was wrong with Lu Qingqing. She turned to look at Cui Lan and asked, "What's going on?"
Cuilan's eyes flickered as she bowed to the Second Madam and said, "I have to go back to serve Madam. I'll take my leave now."
After Cuilan finished speaking, she turned around and left in a hurry.
Mrs. Lu's eyes twitched, and she always had a bad feeling.
At this time, Gu Yunran's carriage just arrived at the gate of Lu Mansion.
Taohua jumped off the carriage first, then lifted the curtain and reached out to pull Gu Yunran.
"Miss, slow down."
Gu Yunran got off the carriage with the help of Taohua, and Zhuye followed closely behind.
Mrs. Lu saw Gu Yunran and hurriedly walked forward, asking anxiously, "Yunran, what happened?"
"I think there's something wrong with Qingqing."
Gu Yunran coughed lightly and said, "It would be better for you to ask your eldest aunt about this matter regarding your second sister-in-law."
After all, she doesn't like to comment on other people's affairs, so as to avoid being blamed.
Mrs. Lu blushed angrily, "What on earth can't you tell me?"
Gu Yunran ignored Madam Lu and walked towards her Fangxing Courtyard.
Madam Lu stamped her feet in anger: "What's so great about that?"
"When Chang Zhu returns to the martial arts hall and passes the civil and military examinations next year, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
Mrs. Lu went to find Lu Qingqing angrily. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the yard, she heard Mrs. Chen pointing at her nose and scolding her.
"You unlucky star, you still have the nerve to come back?"
"Lei'er has only been the general for a few days, and now he has been stripped of his position because of the stupid things you did."
"All the efforts of three generations of our family have been destroyed because of you."
"It's a sin for our Chen family to marry a daughter-in-law like you!"
Old Madam Chen became more and more angry as she spoke. She raised her cane and hit Lu Qingqing hard on the back several times.
Lu Qingqing shed tears of grievance: "I really don't know what kind of peony flower juice Lao Shenzi used to soak the fabric of this dress."
"I didn't even know Gao Yi was allergic to peonies."
Bang!
Old Madam Chen's cane hit Lu Qingqing's head hard, causing her head to bleed.
"You don't know, you don't know anything?" She was so angry that her chest heaved and she gasped for breath when she spoke. "But you are so brave. You snatched your sister-in-law's clothes and put the blame on her."
"If you hadn't snatched her clothes, would this have happened today?"
"And those nonsense, it's fine if you say it in your boudoir in front of the maid, but you show it off everywhere. Why don't you use your brain when you say it? Will it reach the ears of General Gao?"
"I……"
Lu Qingqing opened her mouth and found that she had no way to refute it. Old Madam Chen said again: "You still don't know, right?"
"What do you know? You only know how to eat, drink and have fun. You are a tyrant at home. You don't even have enough brains."
Old Madam Chen was tired from fighting, so she sat on a chair, leaning on her cane and panting.
"Old lady, take it easy. Don't get too angry. You'll hurt your body."
Mother Yan, who was beside Old Madam Chen, persuaded her. She poured a cup of tea, tested the temperature and brought it to Old Madam Chen.
"Drink a glass of water and calm down."
After scolding for so long, Old Lady Chen was indeed thirsty. She took the cup and gulped down the water.
Mother Yan helped her calm down, and only then did Mrs. Chen feel better.
"Divorce her, Lei'er, divorce her now."
Old Madam Chen pointed at Lu Qingqing with trembling fingers, her eyes full of resentment.
"What's the point of having such a stupid clan wife?"
"Mother, I have already written the divorce letter."
Chen Lei walked out of the house with a written divorce letter in his hand.
His expression was indifferent, with no emotion in his eyes.
Lu Qingqing suddenly looked up at Chen Lei, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Husband, you can't divorce me."
"I've been in the Chen family for so many years. Even if I haven't made any contributions, I've worked hard and given birth to children for the Chen family. How could you be so cruel as to divorce me?"
Chen Lei threw the divorce letter at Lu Qingqing's face and snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the three children, you would have been dead long ago."
Seeing her heartless husband, Lu Qingqing's face turned terribly pale.
Suddenly he crawled to Chen Lei's feet, hugged Chen Lei's ankles with both hands, and begged bitterly: "I beg you, you can't divorce me."
A woman who is divorced and left at home will be despised by others.
Either become a monk and follow the ancient Buddha, or hang yourself to death.
Either outcome is tragic.
"I beg you, my husband, I was wrong, please give me another chance."
Madam Chen said coldly, "Lei'er, you must not be soft-hearted."
"If this kind of fool hurts you once, she will hurt you a second time."
"Mother, I don't have much affection for them. I was able to marry her because of the Gu family's reputation."
He ordered: "Pack up your things and let's leave the Lu Mansion."
"yes."
The servant and maid hurried to pack their luggage.
"Mother—"
