"Ma Ji's matter is none of my concern, so there's nothing to worry about," Su Wanwan said calmly.
He could have been raised outside the palace even if he hadn't entered it; he himself often went out anyway.
Keeping a mistress is nothing special.
Lu Xingjian remained silent for a long while.
"You have indeed wronged me regarding the Su family's affairs."
"Have you found out who the real culprit is?" Su Wanwan asked, raising an eyebrow with a calm expression.
“It will take some more time,” Lu Xingjian said, carefully choosing his words.
Su Wanwan curled her lips into a smile.
It's somewhat ironic no matter how you look at it.
Lu Xingjian's eyes darkened slightly, and he emphasized his tone:
"Wanwan, can you please stop overthinking things?"
"Could you please be a little more understanding of me?"
“I’m busy and work very hard every day, but it’s all for you and the children.”
"It's exhausting to always be suspected by you, okay?"
Su Wanwan paused for a moment.
His busyness and hard work are all related to Maggie.
He never forgot to take Maggie with him when he went out, and he bought her a house and land, all for her and the children.
Was the house and land we bought for her to live in?
"Are you busy buying houses and land for Maggie for me and the children?"
"I've said it before, I won't object to Maggie having your child. Isn't that understanding enough?"
“If you want me to adopt the child she gave birth to as my own, I will agree.”
Lu Xingjian's face was tense, and he stared coldly at Su Wanwan.
"I'll say it again, and this is the last time."
"Her pregnancy has nothing to do with me, believe it or not."
Su Wanwan smiled and gently placed her palm on her abdomen.
"She's not your child, why are you being so good to her?"
"Could it be that you're some kind-hearted, benevolent person?"
Seeing her actions, Lu Xingjian finally suppressed his anger.
"Even if she's carrying my child, why shouldn't I take her into the palace and give her a title?"
Su Wanwan paused for a moment, then boldly voiced her guess.
"You think I'm petty and can't tolerate her, so you're keeping her outside?"
"There's no need for that. Even if you want to depose the empress, I'll support you."
When Su Wanwan uttered the words "deposed empress," Lu Xingjian's face instantly turned extremely cold.
"Take back what you said."
Lu Xingjian was unusually calm, yet he exuded a strong sense of oppression, the calm before a storm, which was extremely dangerous.
Su Wanwan didn't back down at all, as if she were calmly discussing what to have for breakfast the next day.
“I will take the child with me, it won’t affect you.”
It's clear they're seriously considering this.
Lu Xingjian chuckled softly, his tone icy.
"You wish."
If you don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much.
Su Wanwan didn't want to say any more:
"Your Majesty, I am tired and need to rest. I will see you off."
They gave them the order to leave.
Lu Xingjian exuded a cold aura, glanced at her, and walked out.
"Bang!"
The living room door was opened and then slammed shut.
Even the window frames were shaking.
This clearly shows his anger.
Su Wanwan was startled, rubbed her temples, and went back to her bedroom on her own.
Just as she turned to close the door, it was blocked.
Outside the door was Lu Xingjian's tense face.
Why did they return?
Su Wanwan slammed the door shut, but it didn't budge.
Once she had relaxed, Lu Xingjian easily pushed his way through the gap and squeezed in, then hugged her tightly, saying reluctantly:
“I didn’t say anything when you went to meet Xiao Bin in private.”
Why are you so fixated on Maggie?
Su Wanwan pushed him hard, trying to break free:
"How can that be the same? You just like Maggie, stay away from me!"
Lu Xingjian hugged her even tighter, his brows furrowed tightly. "Nonsense, I only love my wife."
Su Wanwan snorted coldly, not buying it at all:
"If you marry her, she will be your wife."
Lu Xingjian grabbed her hands, pressed her against the door, and lowered his head to kiss her lips fiercely.
Su Wanwan couldn't dodge it and took a bite directly.
Lu Xingjian paused for a moment, but did not stop the kiss. Instead, he used one hand to support the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
They only let go when both of them were almost out of breath.
He was breathing heavily, his lips hovering near hers.
A bright red bloodstain was still stained at the corner of his lips.
"I have a wife, why would I marry someone else?"
Su Wanwan couldn't break free; her forehead was covered in sweat, her chest heaved, and her anger was rising rapidly.
"Fine, whatever you want. Now that you're done, let's go."
Looking at the beautiful woman panting and glistening with sweat, Lu Xingjian's dark eyes darkened slightly.
Why should I leave?
Su Wanwan slowly regained her composure and looked directly into his eyes.
"The Su family's affairs are a hindrance; I will not forgive you."
"I didn't do anything, why are you accusing me?" Lu Xingjian's brows were furrowed tightly.
"If it wasn't you, then it was your men who did it. You can't deny it."
Lu Xingjian remained expressionless. "Both the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard are investigating this matter. Before the truth comes out, can you calm down?"
Su Wanwan looked at him coldly: "Then stay away from me."
Lu Xingjian paused for a moment, then finally let go of her.
"Use your brain and think about it. Minister Su has helped me for so many years, how could I repay kindness with enmity?"
Su Wanwan curled her lips in a mocking smile: "Then didn't you force my grandfather to retire and return to his hometown?"
Lu Xingjian touched her face, but Su Wanwan slapped his hand away.
He patiently explained:
