Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Yulian, are you alright?"

As he spoke, he stroked Xu Yulian's hair, which made her feel a little better.

Upon seeing Li Xiuyuan, Xu Yulian seemed to have found a powerful backer and burst into loud sobs, her cries echoing through the air.

Xu Yulian sobbed, "He...he kicked me out!"

As she spoke, she was heartbroken, never expecting her husband to do such a thing.

After hearing Xu Yulian's words, Li Xiuyuan knew that she was sad and comforted her, saying, "Don't cry. I'm here. Now that the Dong family is gone, we will have a home in the future."

As he spoke, he embraced Xu Yulian, his chest wet with her tears, but he didn't care at all.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yulian blushed, but for some reason, she didn't object today. Perhaps it was because she had been kicked out of the Dong family and her status had changed.

Having gone from a married woman to a widow, Xu Yulian remained silent, nestled in Li Xiuyuan's arms, and he did not disturb her quiet state.

After a long while, Li Xiuyuan finally left with the sleeping Xu Yulian. Having just experienced her first time, and then having many other things weighing on her mind, she could finally get a good night's sleep.

After Li Xiuyuan left with Xu Yulian, a man in purple emerged from the woods. If someone looked closely, they would recognize him as Yu Zhong, Dong Zhongqing's neighbor.

When Yu Zhong saw Xu Yulian nestled in Wutian's arms, he was furious. He had thought she was very innocent, but he hadn't expected that he had been wrong.

However, this is also good. It will save him a lot of trouble if he wants to get his hands on Xu Yulian in the future. He thought to himself that most importantly, now that Xu Yulian has been kicked out of the house, his chances are much better.

But now he has a rival in love, namely Wutian. Yu Zhong thought to himself, when suddenly his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "You...you didn't leave? Why are you still here?"

As he spoke, he was quite surprised. He had clearly seen the other person leave, so why did they suddenly appear in front of him again?

Seeing Yu Zhong's terrified expression, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile and said, "I've been here all along, you just didn't notice!"

As he spoke, he pointed his finger, and a beam of black light shot out from the sky and entered Yu Zhong's head.

"No..........."

Yu Zhong also realized how terrifying the other party was. He tried to call for help, but he could no longer make a sound.

But Yu Zhong's figure was engulfed in black flames, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished into nothingness.

After seeing Yu Zhong die, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly, and then his figure in the air disappeared.

Li Xiuyuan used the Divine Splitting Technique, which allowed him to create a separate image. Although it was not as powerful as his original self, it was sufficient to deal with ordinary people.

Moreover, Li Xiuyuan's Divided Soul Technique allows the power to return to his original body after the task is completed. That Master Shengde once used this method to deceive the world.

After Li Xiuyuan left with Xu Yulian, he went directly to the Xu family home. It turned out that he had already sent Xu Yulian's younger brother away.

Li Xiuyuan had already anticipated that Xu Yulian would be kicked out of the Dong family, but he casually suggested that Xu Zhonglong go to teach at a private school.

They won't be back for the next few days, and Li Xiuyuan will be able to spend more time with Xu Yulian without anyone disturbing them, enjoying their time together.

After the two arrived at the Xu family home, Li Xiuyuan saw that Xu Yulian did not see her younger brother and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know your brother is having a hard time, so I specially found a private school in a neighboring village for him to teach."

He paused and then said, "With your brother's abilities, he should be able to outperform those students."

Chapter 361 A Letter of Divorce

Ah!

Upon hearing this, Xu Yulian's relaxed eyebrows furrowed slightly, but then she thought to herself, "Perhaps this is a good thing!"

After all, she was no longer part of the Dong family and could only rely on her own strength to support herself and her younger brother's education and academic achievements, which was extremely difficult.

There's a saying: "The poor study literature, the rich study martial arts!" While that's the saying, it's actually very difficult to afford an education. In ancient times, it was said: "Of all professions, only studying is noble," which shows the high status of scholars.

Xu Yulian's younger brother had already passed the imperial examination and was considered a scholar. He could teach people to read and write and work as a private tutor.

"Thank you very much!"

Xu Yulian said gratefully that although her family was in difficult circumstances, she had never thought of needing Li Xiuyuan's help.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "There's no need for thanks between us!"

After saying that, he embraced Xu Yulian in his arms. A delicate fragrance filled his nostrils, like the scent of a water lily. Hearing the fragrance emanating from her body, his heart couldn't help but flutter.

When Xu Yulian saw Li Xiuyuan embracing her, she only struggled symbolically for a couple of moments before giving up and clinging tightly to him.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan seized the opportunity to attack, using both hands to make Xu Yulian look disheveled. Perhaps because she had just been kicked out of her home, she needed to vent her frustrations!

So this time there was little resistance, and the two of them quickly consummated their relationship.

..........................

After Dong Zhongqing drove his wife away, he secretly regretted it. After all, regardless of Xu Yulian's character, her appearance alone made her the best candidate for a wife.

Fortunately, Xu Yulian kept her mouth shut and wouldn't reveal her secrets, so Dong Zhongqing still had feelings for her.

Unfortunately, Dong Zhongqing's mother was unwilling to let Xu Yulian come back. After helping his mother to bed to rest, he brewed another bowl of medicine for her to nourish her body.

After seeing his mother finish her drink, Dong Zhongqing said calmly, "Mother, you're not feeling well, so please rest here for a while!"

As he spoke, he took the bowl out and prepared to leave. Most importantly, he wanted to persuade Xu Yulian to return.

As the saying goes: Even a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness!

Dong Zhongqing was unwilling to let the matter between the two of them end there. Although his mother did not want Yulian to return, he still wanted to try his best.

"Stop right there! What are you doing?"

As Grandma Dong watched her son leave, she couldn't help but frown. She knew exactly what her son, whom she had raised since he was a child, was thinking the moment he raised his buttocks.

Right now, he probably wants to go find Xu Yulian again!

Granny Dong was unwilling. She had finally driven away that jinx, how could she let him come back! Thinking of this, she said calmly, "Don't try to lie to your mother. Hurry up and write the divorce papers, and then give them to Xu Yulian."

After saying that, she coldly glanced at her son. On this matter, her attitude was very firm, as if she would not allow anyone to repent.

"mother!"

After hearing his mother's words, Dong Zhongqing couldn't help but shout. He felt a little resentful, after all, things had come to this point, but his mother was still unwilling to give up.

Moreover, he even made her write a letter of divorce, it seems he is determined to kick Xu Yulian out of the house.

"Why, don't you want to?"

Seeing her son standing there, Granny Dong couldn't help but say something coldly, looking at her uneasy son.

“Mother, Yulian hasn’t done anything seriously wrong. There’s no need for us to kick her out of the house. If she really did something wrong, I will teach her a lesson.”

As he spoke, Dong Zhongqing made a firm promise, still harboring the idea in his heart to resolve the conflict between his mother and daughter-in-law.

The conflict between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law is a common occurrence, both in ancient and modern times.

Dong Zhongqing wanted to resolve the feud between the two, but only if Xu Yulian became extremely wealthy. Dong's mother-in-law looked down on her daughter-in-law's family, so she tried every means to drive them away.

Then, they would marry the daughter of a wealthy family. In the original story, Daoji and his companions disguised themselves as a wealthy man named Jia and quickly seduced her.

"Hmph, you're trying to drive your mother to her death, aren't you!"

As she spoke, Granny Dong was furious and shouted, "If you don't write a letter of divorce and hand it to her, I will die right here in front of you."

After saying that, she stood up and was about to slam her head against the wall.

"Write...I'll write!"

Upon seeing his mother's angry expression, Dong Zhongqing couldn't help but hug her, fearing she might do something foolish again, even though he knew in his heart that his mother was probably just putting on a show.

However, Dong Zhongqing dared not gamble, simply because he was too filial. As a devoted son, he couldn't bear to see his mother in any situation, even though he knew the other party was threatening and blackmailing him, he still did as instructed.

Grandma Dong was satisfied when her son agreed, and said happily, "That's right, that's a good boy! As long as you divorce Xu Yulian, with your looks and talent, you can marry any rich family's daughter you want."

Having said that, she was very happy and even fantasized about her son marrying a lady from a respectable family or a rich young woman.

Thinking about it, Grandma Dong became agitated, completely oblivious to her son's heartbroken gaze.

Finally, under pressure from his mother, Dong Zhongqing wrote a letter of divorce. To appease his mother, he naturally had to comply, even if he was unhappy about it.

After writing the letter of divorce, Dong Zhongqing rushed to Xu Yulian's house, completely unaware that his wife was having an affair.

If they knew, they would be furious.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a knock came at the door, which startled everyone.

Chapter 362 No More Connections

"what!"

Xu Yulian was terrified. If outsiders found out that she and Li Xiuyuan were doing something in the house, what would happen?

Upon hearing this, Xu Yulian called out, "Who is it?"

As she spoke, she quickly put on her clothes.

“Yu Lian is me.”

The person who spoke was Dong Zhongqing.

Xu Yulian was even more frightened after hearing this. If this matter were discovered, their relationship would be ruined.

However, Xu Yulian thought to herself, she had already been kicked out of the house and was no longer a member of the Dong family, so what was there to be afraid of!

After Xu Yulian finished dressing, she told Li Xiuyuan inside the house not to come out. She quickly ran over and said, "Why are you here!"

As she spoke, she opened the door and saw Dong Zhongqing standing there, but she didn't give him a friendly look.

"Yu Lian...I...I!"
