LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?

Chapter 68: Secret Talk between Mother and Son

As for Jing Zhaoyan and Liu Anran, they didn't feel any guilt for making Lu Chenshuang angry and drive her away.

They were still looking so affectionate, and the lady couldn't stand it anymore.

Although she didn't like Lu Chenshuang, she disliked Liu Anran even more.

Nothing has happened yet and she has already taken away her son's soul. What will happen in the future?

And Jing Zhaoyan, her beloved son, did not go to pay his respects to her the first time he came back, but instead came to hang out with this woman, as if he had never seen a woman in his life.

The more the lady thought about it, the angrier she became. She said to Jing Zhaoyan with a cold face, "Yan'er, do you still have me as your mother in your eyes?"

Seeing that the Madam was angry, Jing Zhaoyan quickly let go of Liu Anran and walked forward and said, "Mother, calm down. I just came back home and had a few extra drinks. I haven't had time to pay my respects to you yet."

The lady sneered and said, "You don't have time to pay your respects to me, but you have time to come here and hang out with this shameless woman, right?"

When Liu Anran heard the word "shameless", his face turned even paler.

She knew that she had just been trying to win over Jing Zhaoyan, but had offended the lady.

But fortunately, she had followed Jing Zhaoyan for three years and had learned a little about the Madam from him. She would have plenty of ways to appease her in the future.

When Jing Zhaoyan heard the word "shameless", he also frowned. How could his mother say that about An Ran? They truly loved each other.

So Jing Zhaoyan retorted: "Mom, don't say that about An Ran. She saved my life."

Besides, she has no relatives anymore, and her son promised to take care of her for the rest of her life."

When the lady heard Jing Zhaoyan say that Liu Anran had saved his life, her expression softened a lot.

Besides, Jing Zhaoyan had just returned, and the lady didn't want to embarrass him in front of so many servants.

Thinking of the servants, the lady finally came to her senses. She was so angry that she forgot about this matter. They all saw what happened today. If it were to spread out, the Marquis' Mansion would be talked about.

So the lady said coldly: "Butler, pass the order down. No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. Otherwise, they will be killed and thrown into a mass grave."

Xing Erhu was enjoying his meal, but when he heard this he was startled and quickly agreed.

He knew the old lady, the Madam, best. She looked like an old white flower on the surface, but she was actually cruel and ruthless.

Over the years, quite a few servants in the Marquis' Mansion died at her hands.

After warning the servants in the yard, the lady looked at Jing Zhaoyan and said, "Come with me!"

After saying this, he went straight back to Ci'an Hall without caring about Jing Zhaoyan.

Jing Zhaoyan knew that he had angered the Madam today, and he knew his mother's methods since he was a child, so he did not dare to disobey.

He gently patted Liu Anran's hand to signal her to rest assured, and then went to Ci'an Hall.

The mother and son talked in whispers for a while in Ci'an Hall, and then Jing Zhaoyan fell silent.

Seeing this, the lady said anxiously: "Yan'er, did you hear what mother said to you just now?

The Lu family cannot rest now."

Jing Zhaoyan replied: "Mom, you know that Lu Chenshuang and I have no feelings for each other at all. A forced melon is not sweet.

Even if she has the protection of the Princess Zhenguo, what can she do?

My son has also made great contributions at the border this time, and the emperor has ordered me to be named General Zhaowu.

This is a third-rank official, but he holds real power.

No matter how powerful she is, she is no longer the princess she used to be.

Besides, I am now a subordinate of the War King. The Princess should not give in to the monks but the Buddhas. You can’t make things difficult for our Jingyang Marquis Mansion, right?”

Seeing that Jing Zhaoyan still couldn't listen after she had said so much to him, the lady gritted her teeth and said, "I tell you that Lu Chenshuang is not only kind to the princess, she is also kind to the emperor."

Jing Zhaoyan was a little surprised when he heard this. If Lu Chenshuang had saved the eldest princess's son by accident, it would be fine, but how could she have the ability to save the emperor?

Maybe his mother made up this story to prevent him from divorcing Lu Chenshuang.

Seeing that Jing Zhaoyan refused to believe it, the lady had to tell him what had happened.

After Jing Zhaoyan listened to this, he was silent for a while and then asked, "How did you know such a confidential matter, mother?

Even the emperor never announced his injury. Besides, Lu Chenshuang only went to the Duke of Rong's mansion, so no one knew what happened."

The lady was a little angry when she heard this. She had said it so clearly but Jing Zhaoyan still refused to believe it. Could it be that he was blinded by greed?

So she said coldly to Jing Zhaoyan: "Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth, and there is no need for me to lie to you.

Besides, if the emperor was not injured, how could he let the eldest princess reward the troops on his behalf?

Also, you have just been conferred the title of General Zhaowu and you are divorcing your wife and remarrying. Do you think it will be good for your future career?

If you really like that Liu, then take her into your house first.

Once you have gradually established your foothold in the court, wouldn't it be easy to make the daughter of a minor official disappear?

By then, you can legitimately make Liu the legitimate successor."

Seeing that the hard approach didn't work, the lady had to try the soft approach.

In fact, Jing Zhaoyan had already wavered. What his mother said made sense. He and An Ran had a long way to go.

But how should I tell Anran about this? I'm afraid she won't agree to be my concubine.

So Jing Zhaoyan replied, "Since mother said so, then I will think about it carefully.

Anyway, An Ran will never be wronged in Jingyang Marquis Mansion."

Even if the lady didn't like Liu Anran, it would be difficult for Jing Zhaoyan to go against her since he liked her.

So she forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, mother is here and will not let her suffer any injustice."

Jing Zhaoyan was satisfied after hearing this. Then, seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and said goodbye.

After Jing Zhaoyan left, the lady's face darkened again. She looked at Haiyun and asked, "Which direction did the Marquis go?"

Haiyun hesitated for a moment and replied, "I went to the West Courtyard, probably to look for Miss Liu."

The lady became even angrier when she heard this. After Jing Zhaoyan came back, he didn't ask her whether his mother was doing well or not. Instead, he held Liu Anran in his heart.

Just wait and see. It won’t be too late for her to teach her a lesson when her son gets tired of that woman.

She has lived to such an old age and knows that all crows are black and men are not good people.

Lu Chenshuang slept well all night and woke up the next day feeling refreshed.

Today is another beautiful day. If the divorce goes smoothly, she will take Xiaoman and Guyu to Tianxianglou to have a good meal to celebrate.

Lu Chenshuang looked around her room. Hmm, it looked much cleaner and more spacious than when she first arrived.

Anyway, she has almost packed up all the valuables.

She moved part of it to her newly bought house, and kept part of it in her space.

Lu Chenshuang is now ready for everything except divorce.
