Chapter 50 Who is the real adulterer?
Nanny Fang couldn't help but take out some change as a reward. "It's cold today. I really appreciate your hard work. Use this little money to buy a couple of pots of wine to warm yourself up."
The servants got the benefit and their original complaints disappeared and they were replaced with smiles.
"My lady, you are so kind. It is my duty to serve you."
"If the young lady has any further instructions, please feel free to send them."
The bedroom is not big and the furnishings are very simple. There is a bed, a couch, a wardrobe, a coffee table, a few stools, and a bookcase against the wall. This has been her entire world for the past ten years.
The house has been spotlessly cleaned, and the aroma of agarwood burning in the incense burner permeates the house, diluting the stale smell that had been left uninhabited for a long time.
Nanny Jin came in, looked around, and her eyes showed heartache again.
"This place is cold and damp, and no one has lived here for a long time. The master doesn't know how to care for the girl."
Lu Zhiran smiled faintly, "Don't you know what kind of person my father is? It's already a great result that you can magnanimously accept me back to the Lu family."
Nanny Jin sighed again.
The Lu family is not her refuge, but just a temporary place for her to stay.
She needs this place to stay until she finishes everything, so she has to give her scumbag father some sweet treats.
Lu Zhiran was a little unsure about the Xing family's attitude, and this matter needed careful planning.
As she pondered, she fell into a deep sleep.
In the Marquis Xuanping's mansion, no one was sleepy.
The lanterns in various places in the palace were all pasted with the word "囍", and it seemed particularly ironic when the lanterns were lit at this time.
In the new house, all you see is a festive red, but there is not a trace of joy at all.
The maids moved very quietly and carefully.
Chu Yian changed his clothes and washed up silently, then lay down on the bed.
Zhao Shuning sat at the table, motionless, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Chu Yian's voice was filled with fatigue. "It's getting late. You should change your clothes and go to bed."
He closed his eyes and forced himself not to think too much, but the string in Zhao Shuning's heart was completely broken by his indifference.
"Can you still sleep now?"
"I'm very tired."
This perfunctory attitude made Zhao Shuning even more furious. She kept asking, "Are you blaming me?"
"No, don't think too much."
Chu Yian still lay there motionless, without opening his eyes.
How could Zhao Shuning not think too much about his attitude?
Her voice rose several degrees. "You don't even want to talk to me, let alone look at me, and you say you don't blame me?"
The irritation in his heart finally erupted completely, and Chu Yian suddenly sat up from the bed, "I said I'm tired, what else do you want from me?"
Zhao Shuning's chest heaved. "Are you tired or do you just not want to see me? Today is our big day, yet you're ignoring me like this. Do you think you're being worthy of me? What did you say back in Xiping? It's only been a short time, and you're already disgusted with me. Do you have any heart?"
Chu Yian almost blurted out, "When we were in Xiping, you weren't such a selfish, jealous, and unreasonable person."
Zhao Shuning felt as if someone had stepped on her sore spot. "You really still miss Lu Zhiran. You're not afraid to blame me like this for her!"
"Then tell me, what exactly did you hide from me between you and her?"
He stared straight at Zhao Shuning, not missing any change in her facial expression.
There was only disappointment and sadness in Zhao Shuning's eyes, without a trace of guilt.
"You've been doubting me over and over again for her? Your heart is already bent, so what's the point of me explaining more?"
She pressed again, "Don't you want her to leave you at all? You still have her in your heart, right?"
A hint of disgust flashed across Chu Yian's eyes. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be attached to a woman like her?"
"Then why did you repeatedly reject her request for a divorce today? Your attitude clearly shows that you can't bear to part with her!"
"Are you done yet? I said no, and that's it!"
Zhao Shuning persisted, "Are you angry because I said what I was thinking? You keep saying you love me, but in reality, you're always thinking about another woman. The funny thing is, she doesn't care about you at all! She's been thinking about leaving you for a long time. In her eyes, your behavior during this period is all a joke!"
"Bang!"
Chu Yian stood up and kicked the stool over with one foot, making a loud noise.
"Have you said enough?"
Zhao Shuning was so frightened that he trembled with his lips, and he didn't dare to say another word.
Just then, a weak voice came from outside.
"Young Master, Young Madam, the Marquis invites you to go to Yongfu Residence..."
Chu Yian's voice was filled with anger, "We said we've already gone to bed!"
The servant replied tremblingly, "The Marquis and his wife just had an argument, and they even came to blows. The Marquis has ordered that you two come over. There's something important to discuss."
The veins on Chu Yian's forehead twitched violently, and the anger he had just felt rose again.
Will this ever end?
Chu Yian flicked his sleeves and strode out.
Zhao Shuning bit her lip hard and followed.
In Yongfuju, Jiang was crying. Her face was already red and swollen, and now her eyes were swollen like walnuts.
Chu Dingfeng sat aside with a sullen face. Looking closely, there were several finger scratches on his face.
This was what Chu Yian saw when he came in. "Father, Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang's cries suddenly rose a few degrees, "You should ask him carefully! See what disrespectful and shameful things he has done!"
"I've already told you, I have nothing to do with the Lu family!"
Chu Yian and Zhao Shuning's faces changed drastically after hearing this.
Jiang's voice was sharp, like a shrew.
"Then why do you keep defending her? When An'er wanted to divorce her, you repeatedly stopped him, trying to save her. She secretly requested a divorce decree, causing An'er to lose face. She deserves to be cut into pieces, and yet you keep speaking up for her. Doesn't that mean you have an unclear relationship with her?"
"Looking at her alluring, seductive look, I'm afraid you two have been hooking up for the past three years! Is the bastard in her belly yours? I thought that Lu was restless from the beginning, and she really is a slut!"
The more Jiang spoke, the more excited she became, spouting all kinds of obscenities, without a trace of the manners of a lady of a noble family.
The more Chu Yian listened, the uglier his expression became. Zhao Shuning was also looking at Chu Dingfeng with a look of surprise and suspicion.
Chu Dingfeng shouted angrily, "Shut up! Are you really going to sow discord between us father and son?"
"So how do you explain your behavior?"
Chu Dingfeng lowered his voice, "You foolish woman, her real adulterer is the one above! If you dare to say a word of nonsense again, I will not let you go!"
Jiang was still immersed in anger and her brain didn't react for a while.
"Who's the boss?"
Chu Yian and Zhao Shuning were the first to understand what was happening. They were once again hit hard, and their facial expressions were a little out of control for a while.
Jiang also reacted belatedly and her eyes widened.
"Hou, Hou Ye means, Huang, Huang?"
