Chapter 36 I Don't Want to Divorce
Since she returned to Beijing, she began to take back all her power and no longer paved the way for Lin Ye.
She wants to regain power, and she can't let the power in her hands fall into the hands of the protagonists.
Any loss of power will become a weapon against themselves.
She just didn't believe that when she stood at the pinnacle of power, someone could still control her destiny!
[Don't worry about the fact that the prince is right, support the princess in pursuing her own career! ]
【Did the princess notice something? 】
[Impossible, how could the princess know what will happen in the future? ]
[It's hilarious, the princess is busy with her career while the hero and heroine are having a tragic love affair. No wonder the hero and heroine haven't advanced the plot yet.]
"Marquis Xuanping has already learned of my divorce from Lu Chenzhou, yet there's been no further action. This is quite intriguing." She lowered her gaze. "Tell the people below to pay attention. Pay special attention to any correspondence between court officials and Marquis Xuanping."
Although she had already sent people to closely monitor the movements of Marquis Xuanping and his fiefdom Beizhou, no official in the court had direct dealings with Beizhou.
As for Lu Chenzhou, she already has a partial list.
"clear."
"Has Lu Chenzhou signed the divorce agreement?" she asked.
Mu Ying bowed. "Every day, someone delivers the divorce agreement to the Prince's residence, but Prince Lu always refuses to sign it. Today, the person who went came back and said that Prince Lu still refused to sign it and wanted to return to the Princess's residence."
Lin Zhaoyue frowned, "Is he sick?"
She still couldn't understand why Lu Chenzhou was unwilling to divorce.
The only reason that makes sense.
I'm afraid he was deliberately dragging his feet and refusing to sign just to disgust her.
Lu Chenzhou is a proud and arrogant person.
She originally wanted to kick him out, but he certainly wouldn't accept it. Coupled with Chu Yinyin's whispering, he would definitely sign the divorce papers soon.
Unexpectedly, he still refuses to sign.
"Princess! Prince Lu is back!" The housekeeper hurried in to announce the news. "He insisted on coming in and seeing you! The guards at the door are blocking him now."
Lin Zhaoyue looked outside, then slowly stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
At this time, many people were gathered at the gate of the princess's mansion.
Before Lin Zhaoyue walked in, she heard Lu Chenzhou's voice.
"I'm the prince consort, why can't I go in?"
"You guys are so bold! You even tried to stop me, the Prince Consort!"
"I'll give you one last chance. I don't want to hurt anyone!"
And just behind Lu Chenzhou stood Chu Yinyin.
She looked sad, like a flower stamen swaying in the rain, staring at Lu Chenzhou with pain in her eyes.
The people around also started talking about it.
"How dare Chu Yinyin come here? She hooked up with the Prince Consort and caused the princess and the Prince Consort to divorce. How shameless!"
"It's not Miss Chu's fault. The princess and her husband have never slept together before... Besides, Princess Zhaohua has a bad temper and is domineering... It's only natural for her to like Miss Chu."
"That's right. Although Miss Chu and the princess are similar, they have completely different personalities. Look... Miss Chu even personally sent her beloved back home. How pitiful..."
"That's true. Most people don't have the broad mind that Miss Chu has."
"What nonsense! The princess is the one with a broad mind. She even offered them a divorce, but they refused to give in..."
"I see that Miss Chu doesn't look much like the princess except for her clothes and appearance. The princess is much more beautiful..."
…
The people gathered around to watch the fun.
If it was only Lu Chenzhou, it might not be so exciting to watch.
But after Chu Yinyin came, more people gathered around.
[This is the heroine effect. Wherever there is a heroine, there will inevitably be a lot of onlookers.]
[I'm so pissed off, Lu Chenzhou, you're going to torture our heroine to death! ]
[Ahhh, my precious sound is about to break! ! I'm so heartbroken! When will this vicious female supporting character be offline?! I can't stand it anymore.]
[My daughter told you not to come with me, but you still wanted to come. Aren’t you just torturing yourself…]
I've already said that Lin Zhaoyue is playing hard to get, but you still don't believe me.
[Are the onlookers blind? How is my daughter inferior to the supporting actress? What kind of bitch is worthy of being compared to my daughter?]
[I said the heroine is the one who is cheap. The hero is going back to the princess's mansion but she still follows him. Isn't this cheap?]
…
Just when Lu Chenzhou was about to take action, Lin Zhaoyue's voice rang out at the right time.
"What is Master Lu doing?"
She walked slowly towards him, dressed casually in a soft, fine brocade, with a shawl tied around her neck, and her hair was casually tied into a bun hanging behind her head.
Compared with her usual dignified appearance, her casual look at this moment makes her even more charmingly elegant and noble.
This was not the first time Lu Chenzhou had seen Lin Zhaoyue like this. She always looked like two different people when she was at home and when she was outside.
In the mansion, she was always casual, lazy and simple. Even without makeup, she still had a rosy face and was as beautiful as a fairy.
He had been moved by her more than once...
So when he saw the equally pure Chu Yinyin, he also felt a sense of pleasure that he could finally get her easily...
But when he saw her like this again today, he realized for the first time how big the difference between them was.
How could she... replace her?
At this moment, the throbbing hidden in my heart and the emotions that had accumulated over the years came out again.
Especially knowing that Zhaoyue actually cared about him, the emotion became even stronger.
Seeing Lu Chenzhou standing there in a daze, Lin Zhaoyue gave him a cold look, then glanced at Chu Yinyin who was not far behind him.
"It seems that Master Lu is here to sign the divorce agreement today." She raised the corner of her lips slightly, "That's good."
Lu Chenzhou came back to his senses and said in a deep voice, "No, I'm not here to sign the divorce agreement today."
The corners of Lin Zhaoyue's mouth that were raised also froze.
"Prince Lu brought your lover here, if not to sign the divorce papers, what else are you doing here? Could it be that you want to bring your lover to live in the princess's mansion?"
Lu Chenzhou opened his mouth and immediately looked at Chu Yinyin, his eyes filled with heartache. "Yinyin came to see me off. Don't blame her, she just sent me back."
He didn't want her to send him back, but she followed him anyway.
Seeing her like this, he felt extremely painful and uncomfortable in his heart.
But as for Yinyin, he could never bear to see her cry or be wronged.
Even now he had the urge to rush over and hug her tightly in his arms.
He subconsciously took a step forward, but thinking that he was going back to the princess's mansion today, he resisted the urge to move forward.
When everyone saw this scene, they felt the heartache of lovers who could not be together.
"Ah... this is probably what lovers can't always get married..."
"Princess, you can't be the one who breaks up the couple..."
"Yes, since the princess doesn't want to consummate her marriage with her husband, don't delay him..."
"I mean, didn't the princess grant their wish? What are you doing?"
Lin Zhaoyue also glanced at Chu Yinyin.
At this moment, Chu Yinyin also raised her pitiful eyes and looked at Lin Zhaoyue.
The look was weak and helpless, with a hint of pleading.
But Lin Zhaoyue clearly saw hatred and unwillingness in his eyes.
Yes, according to the original plot.
Lu Chenzhou had already broken up with himself for her and even took the initiative to propose a divorce.
But now Lu Chenzhou is reluctant to sign the divorce papers, and she must be unwilling to accept this.
What's more, those noble ladies in the capital who used to have a good relationship with her have now distanced themselves from her.
It made sense that she hated herself so much.
However, whether it is Lu Chenzhou's refusal to divorce or those young ladies from official families distancing themselves from her, what does it have to do with her?
If she was truly kind, how could she vent her anger on herself?
Her eyes were slightly cold. "Lu Chenzhou, I have already agreed to your marriage and have already written the divorce agreement. But you have repeatedly refused to sign it and even brought your lover to the Princess's residence to cause trouble. What exactly do you want?!"
"I am a princess of the royal family, and this is the princess's residence! How can I tolerate your offense? In my opinion, you truly do not take me and the royal family seriously!"
